Motivation keeps the fire of determination, despite the difficulties students of Mandaue City College faced. Whether it is from influence, financial, or a little support from their parents. This little act of mindset can surpass each one's limit, and can achieve greatness from within.

In this we asked our fellow ManCCinians one question: What keeps you motivated to continue with your daily life even when difficult situations are happening around you? Here are their answers.

Every November 30, we Filipinos take a moment to remember a true hero: G*t Andres Bonifacio. It's Bonifacio Day, a national holiday celebrating his life and legacy.

Born on this day in 1863, Bonifacio was more than just a man; he was the heart and soul of the Katipunan, that brave group of Filipinos who stood up against Spain to fight for our freedom.

What made Bonifacio so special? It was his unwavering leadership, his fearless spirit of revolution, and his deep, unshakable belief in the power of the Filipino people. Our nation's history weaves these qualities into its very fabric.

Mandaue City College honors his courage and remembers that his burning desire for freedom and justice helped pave the way for the better Philippines we live in today.
