is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mapua

University, the country’s premiere technical education institution.

In its birth, MCL Cup was also conceptualized as an avenue for MCL to reach out to the best and

brightest talents of the region. The objective of MCL Cup is to provide a venue for interaction

among the talented students of the different high schools in Laguna and Batangas.


MCL Cup 2006 is the very first of its kind in the region with four (4) major events (Quiz Bees in

Spelling, Science and Mathematics; and Cheerdance Competition). The famous Chorale

Competition was included in 2007 along with the other events. From the four (4) events, MCL Cup

has grown bigger with more events being added to it such as the Brainmasters, IT Quiz, Street

Dance, Digital Poster-Making, Sabayang Pagbigkas, and many more.

In 2012, the series of events was given a theme which highlighted environmental awareness and

protection of nature. This is We bECOme. All activities and event components of the series were

aligned to green advocacy to emphasize the global call for sustainable development.

Themes of the series from 2013 to 2018

capitalized the challenges for 21st century

education; and outcomes-based teaching and

learning. It opened the way for more

opportunities for the participating schools to

show their students’ prowess and excellence in

varied fields.

The line-up of events for MCL is a product of the

tedious planning of the different departments and

working teams of MCL who work year-round to

bring the biggest and best MCL Cup for our

partner schools.

The event is one of our ways to communicate MCL’s gesture of strategic partnership and invitation

to our partner schools to a meaningful collaborative engagement in empowering our teachers

and students by making them competitive and highly equipped.

From 26 participating schools, MCL Cup has reached 97 schools over the years with participants

coming from the National Capital Region (NCR), provinces of Laguna, Batangas, Cavite, Quezon,

and Rizal. From four (4) major events, MCL Cup has grown to have as many as 26 events for the

best talents of around.


In 2013, MCL Cup has introduced the use of a quiz show application that is specifically designed

for the ‘knowledge events’ of the series. The application was designed by a group of students

from the College of Computer and Information Science (CCIS) and its key feature is the

deployment of quiz questions through mobile devices and scoring capability that runs in iOS

platform. This was first of its kind that made MCL Cup quiz shows more challenging and exciting

not only for the participants but also to the spectators of the different events.

Over the years, MCL Cup has gained prominence

as schools participate to show their intellectual,

social, and artistic prowess in various events that

capture the best in every young Filipino.

Competing with the region’s top schools is an

experience worth being shared and cherished by

our participants. Being the coach of the region’s

winning schools is something that every teacher

and mentor will always be proud of.

MCL Cup is not just about championing the different events and activities. It is the experience

that each school is pushing for. Being able to join and perform with 90+ schools is something that

each student would cherish in his/her entire student life.

Over the years, MCL Cup has recognized this common understanding among our partner

schools as they join hands in bringing their best talents to compete and learn from every

experience that they had in the process.


Our hearts have been warmed by every coach or adviser’s smile and story of how they

prepared their mentees for MCL Cup. The days of training and preparation for the different

events have developed not only learning experiences but friendships that nurtured every

participant’ s well-being and personhood.

advocates this principle. Support for

alternative learning opportunities is a top priority of the school. Hence, we would also want

to share this advocacy to our partner schools through MCL Cup. We open MCL’s doors for a

meaningful showcase of knowledge, skills and attitude --- the very pillars of outcomes-based

education.

Every participating student’s learning of the values of teamwork, camaraderie, prudence,

respect, and passion for excellence are meaningful success indicators that energize us to do

more for our stakeholders.


this year’s theme

On the third stanza of the Malayan Hymn, the phrase “to the limits we push on” is inscribed.

Composed by MCL and Mapua University President, Dr. Reynaldo B. Vea, the phrase is an ardent

expression of high-spirited commitment to excellence and virtue. Amidst struggles and

challenges, the Malayan spirit and determination to strive for the best are motivators for success.

MCL Cup intends to share the same spirit and determination by telling its participants to ‘push

on to the limits’. Knowledge, skills and attitude are the weapons to use for success. These should

be limitless that is why whatever limit one finds to be curtailing his/her journey to excellence

must ‘push on’, succeed and surpass the limit.


These are the same formula of success for most

people and Malayans alike. For MCL’s President

and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Reynaldo B.

Vea, the institution is committed to equip our

up-and-coming young people in Laguna and

environs so that they, too, can have successful

careers in the Philippines and anywhere else on

the planet. In order to do this, we have

formulated globally relevant student learning

outcomes, designed our curricula around these

desired outcomes, and sought our students to

attain these outcomes using learner-centered

approaches.

This same vision must be shared to our partner schools to motivate our fellow teachers and

mentors; and students most importantly to push on to the limits.
