Dr. Praxedes A. Ignacio
President & CEO
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire leadership of MPCI and MPRBI, I extend my warmest greetings to our academic community, banking partners, stockholders, external stakeholders, valued guests, and friends as we commemorate the 75th Founding Anniversary of MPCI and the 56th Founding Anniversary of MPRBI. This milestone celebration, anchored on the theme “Beyond Legacy: MPCI & MPRBI Together in Purpose, Bound Forever in Service,” is both a tribute to our shared history and a reaffirmation of our collective future.
For decades, MPCI and MPRBI have stood as twin pillars of development – one nurturing minds through education, the other empowering communities through responsible banking. Our institutions were founded on a common belief: that service, when guided by integrity, competence, and compassion, can transform lives. The legacies we honor today are not merely measured by years of existence, but by the trust we have earned, the opportunities we have created, and the lives we have uplifted.
As we look beyond legacy, we recognize that our enduring strength lies in unity of purpose. In an ever-evolving academic and financial landscape, MPCI and MPRBI remain committed to innovation with conscience, growth with accountability, and progress that is inclusive and sustainable. We continue to invest in people – our learners, clients, employees, and partners for they are the true drivers of meaningful and lasting impact.
To our Board, stockholders, administrators, faculty, staff, banking professionals, and partners, thank you for your unwavering support and stewardship. To our stakeholders and friends, your confidence inspires us to serve better and reach higher.
May this celebration renew our resolve to move forward together, bound forever in service, steadfast in purpose, and faithful to the mission that brought us here. Together, we build not only institutions, but a future worthy of the generations we serve.
