Mountain Province Rep. Maximo Dalog,Jr., highlighted importance of collective efforts to pursue the dream of transforming MPSPC into a state university.
“It is important for us to coordinate, collaborate and work together for the advancement of this lone institution in Mountain Province. I challenge all of us to walk the talk as we actively display our support and continue realizing the aspirations of becoming a full- fledged state university. For we can only attain this, if we are truly willing, serious and steadfast to achieve our goals so that we will be able to finish our assignment on time,” Dalog said.
Gov. Bonifacio Lacwasan, Jr., mentioned that this year’s charter anniversary of the College marks the MPSPC’s accomplishments and struggles for the past 31 years. “It is time to unite and pool all our efforts together.

MPSPC Board of Trustees, Commissioner Marita Canapi, in her message relayed by MPSPC Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) Mark Preston Lopez recognized commitment in providing quality education. “In the past five years, three of which were years of challenged times brought by the pandemic, MPSPC managed to keep up with the times along the four-fold function of this educational institution,” she added.
