On August 15, 2025, Tomas Claudio Colleges reached a historic milestone—its 75th Founding Anniversary. The whole-day celebration brought together the TCC community to give thanks, honor its people, and look forward to the future with renewed pride and hope.
The day began with a Thanksgiving Mass at the Parish of Saint Jerome’s Church, followed by a parade to the TCC grounds that showcased the unity and Claudian spirit of the institution.
By mid-morning, the Anniversary Program commenced at the TCC Multipurpose Gymnasium, graced by school officials led by President Dr. Edmund Francisco, alongside Dr. Eva De Rosas, Dr. Ruel Manalo (Chairperson of the 75th Anniversary), Sir Dindo Punzalan (Co-Chairperson), deans, teachers, and staff. The opening performance by the TCC Band and Majorettes energized the crowd, setting the tone for the program.
In his address, Dr. Francisco reflected on TCC’s humble beginnings 75 years ago and its remarkable growth, anchored in the theme “Beyond Excellence at 75.” Special guest Councilor Elpidio San Juan, representing Mayor Sidney Soriano, delivered a message highlighting TCC’s vital role in producing graduates who contribute meaningfully to society.
The highlight of the celebration was the Recognition of Service Awardees, honoring faculty and staff who have served the institution for 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years. Their loyalty and dedication were acknowledged as the very heart of TCC’s journey.
The program concluded at 12:45 p.m., followed by a special lunch that further fostered fellowship and gratitude.
The 75th Anniversary Celebration was not only a commemoration of the past but also an inspiration for the future. At 75 years strong, TCC continues to stand beyond excellence—ready for greater achievements and brighter years ahead.
