HONORING HIS LEGACY. As the MPCI community solemnly commemorates the birthday of the late Dr. Leocadio Ignacio, they honor a founder whose commitment, integrity, and clear vision shaped the institution from its earliest days. His dedication to education and service continues to guide Mallig Plains Colleges Inc. His legacy remains strong in the values he established and in the many lives influenced by his work.

As part of the celebration, MPCI also gave an early Christmas gift to 100 beneficiaries from Brgy. Centro 2 and the Casili Community Extension Program, the adopted barangays of MPCI.
