January 26, 2016 – Marked the day for the 13^th foundation day of Mary the Queen College with the theme “Continuing Unwaveringly our Commitment for Academic Excellence and Integral Formation”. The said founding anniversary will last until the 28^th day of January 2016. There are array of activities planned by the Central Student Council (CSC) and Recognized Student5 Organizations (RSO) for the three- day festivity.

The first day started with a mass leaded by the Theology Department to bless the whole festivity. After the mass has ended, the competition begins. It started with the modern dance competition. Every institute has more than 30 representatives and will groove with modern day steps and music. Students will be able to showcase their dancing talents.

Also, the English Department, headed by Ms. Jovelyn Cantrell (English Coordinator), has organized their activity called “The Parade of Literary Characters”. Forty one sections from first year to third year and from different institutes participated in the said activity. The participants dressed up and prepared a five- minute skit to portray their chosen character.

Aside from the activities, there are booths organized by the Recognized Student Organizations (RSO). The booths include Marriage booth, Massage Booth, Ice cream Booth, Dedication Booth, Kwarto Trese (Horror Booth) and Cinema Booth. Students can enjoy theses booths by paying the entrance fee of the corresponding payment needed. Bayanihan: All for one, one for all ends is the last activity for the first day.

The second day of the foundation focuses mainly on sports such as Basketball, Volleyball, Beach Volleyball, Table Tennis, Badminton 
and Chess. These kinds of activities exhibit the sportsmanship of the students.

But second day doesn’t end with the sports because activities such as MQC Whiz, Dance Duo, Fact or Bluff, MQC Idol and Battle of the bands gives way for the students to show their wit, intelligence and hidden talents.

The third day is the most awaited day. Finals on every sport will be through and winners will be announced.

Everyone is nervous as they wait for the result of the over-all winner. The host then announced that color Yellow (Young Entrepreneurs Society) dominates the three-day Founding Anniversary.

The 13^th foundation day ends with the Students’ night where students can party and socialize with each other.

"Food for the soul."

Mary the Queen College advance the Christian formation of our stakeholders towards integral development with emphasis on honesty, integrity and social justice as our core values. Integral formation is the goal the church desires for all its members as our Christian formation addresses the human person in its totality.

Academic excellence is a top priority in every school. It gives emphasis on how to build and enhance students academic skills but in Mary the Queen College, aside from giving so much importance to academic excellence, it also focuses I integral formation of students dealing with the morality, values and totality of a person to fully prepare an individual in the real world. Integral formation shapes students to properly behave and act in accordance with good values and Gods will.
Here are some testimonies from different people about how theology changed their lives.
Theology has changed my perspective for the whole world. I realized that this world is not totally dark, that there is still a light- the light that can save our lives, that there still goodness in every evil doings, that there is hope for everybody and that everyone has their chance to change, repent, and return to HIM.- Kei Em Ji

Theology made me a better person. It totally changed me, I can say that because of theology, I am now pro- environment, people-oriented and God-Centered that Im not used to. Each and every one of us has the chances to be like me, just choose the right way to His hands. JSN

Theology plays a very important role in every student. It is one of the minor subjects but it looks like a major subject because you will take it from your first until your last term. For me, Theology made a difference in my life. It taught me something that will be forever stay on my mind. From learning more about God, myself, family and friends. I also learned from sharing, teamwork, and helping other people unlike other schools, MQC gives emphasis in theology.- MPS

Theology is about the application of the taughts of the holy bible in real life. From the role playing in the room where students can learn the lessons from the life of the character being played to the internalization, meditation, and socialization activities like immersion, retreat and Bible Camp. 
-Sir Masaclao

A person is not just a mere human being. It has a soul and mind. It is important to feed the mind with facts and learnings but feeding the soul with goodness, kindness and love is more important, for it is what makes a person a person. 

Legionnaires: Claygo policy needs improvement.

 Three months after implementing CLAYGO (clean as you go) Policy, the students of Mary the Queen College have observed lack of strong compliance among everyone, especially on areas of the old and new canteen.

   Most of them noticed that there are some students who are not following the policy although there are a lot of poster in campus that reminds everyone regarding CLAYGO, especially on areas of the old and new canteen, students let the personnel clean their tables. in classrooms, chairs are not properly organized.

"Nakikita ko naman sa canteen malapit kina Mam Beth doon mas nasusunod ngunit doon sa lumang canteen naten marami pa rin ang di sumusunod... nagbago naman kung nagbago pero hindi ganoon ka-improve" said King Gaspar CAlma, one of the proponents of the said policy.
Despite of its apparent non-compliance, some of the legionnaires still observe the importance of the CLAYGO policy.
"Nakita ko nman sa bawat canteen, 'di ba may mga estudyante na nag iiwan ng mga kalat nila tapos nung naimplement yung clago, nakikita ko yung mga mismong basura natin tinatapon na sa tamang basurahan. yung iba siguro iniwan yung pinagkainan nila tapos yung iba hinahatid mismo sa canteen." answered by a BEEd student when asked regarding the practice of CLAYGO.
In order to strengthen its obedience and continue its purpose, the advocates of CLAYGO are planning to increase the number of posters and signages, play an AVP every first monday of the month in MQC facade, implement proper waste segregation, and tie-up with the NSTP Office, faculty members and Theology mentors who have an influence on students behavior for the implementation of this policy.
"May plano kami upang ma continue iyon, ipi-play namen yung AVP ng CLAYGO every first Monday of the Month kasabay ng flag ceremony para every now and hen ma-re-remind ang mga students at dagdagan namin ang mga posters at signages lalo na sa canteen" Calma added.
the Clean-As-You-Go policy reminds the responsibility of the students and employees in keeping the school environment on its clean, orderly and safe condition at all times when carrying out duties in the premises.
