Pasig Catholic College (PCC) is a private sectarian college located at the heart of Pasig City, Philippines. It was founded in 1913 as a small school managed by the CICM Fathers headed by Fr. Rouse Stephen Cebreros inside the "convento" (convent) of the then Immaculate Conception Parish (at present, the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Pasig City). Moreover, it is considered as the central Catholic educational institution of the Diocese of Pasig.
Considering that Pasig Catholic College is a Catholic school, it is conservative on some level. The administration also imposes rules putting in mind the welfare and safety of their students. An example of this is the Keep Right Policy that instructs students to stay on the right side when in the stairs, corridors and places of the like. Like most of the schools in the Philippines, Pasig Catholic College also requires students to wear their uniforms. Girls wear skirts and blouses while the boys wear pants and white polo shirts. The uniforms may vary depending on the level the students are, pre-school, elementary, high school and college. Their current president is Msgr. Gerardo O. Santos.
The Filipino Clergy Takes Over
PCC Under the Archdiocese of Manila
1977 was the year that marked the institution's submission to the Archdiocese of Manila. This was due to the compliance for Filipinization. In 1979, Most Rev. Bishop Manuel Sobrevinas the first Filipino Priest to reside in the Immaculate Conception Cathedral was given authority as school director of Pasig Catholic College.
In 1980 the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary gave Sr. Josefina delos Reyes as representative and began to co-administer the school. It was also in this year that the college department had a population of nearly 2000 students. Also a new program in the teacher training courses was introduced.
When Mrs. Teresita Gomez went off to America with her family in 1982, The school chose Ms. Emerita G. Magsajo as the New Dean of College. A stunning 2134 College enrollees welcomed the first semester of '82.
