METRO DUMAGUETE COLLEGE INC.
A Journey of Education, Excellence, and Innovation
Welcome to Metro Dumaguete College (MDC), a beacon of education located in the heart of Dumaguete City. Our story is one of growth, transformation, and a relentless pursuit of academic excellence. Since our humble beginnings as an Internet Café in 2002, we have evolved into a prominent non-stock, non-profit private educational institution, dedicated to shaping the minds and inspiring the futures of countless individuals.
Our History: Roots of Ambition and Growth
MDC's journey started in 2002 when the visionary Mr. Wilfredo D. Manila and his wife, Dr. Delma P. Manila, established an Internet Café with a noble purpose—to provide a livelihood for their relatives. From these modest roots, the café soon transformed into a 4-WD Computer Training Center, setting the foundation for what was to become a hub of innovative learning. With a growing enrollment and a passion for education, Dr. Delma P. Manila took the reins of MDC and embarked on a mission to create something bigger. In 2007, the institution underwent a metamorphosis, emerging as Metro Dumaguete College with a new campus and a fresh outlook.
