June 24, 2025

With more than 500 students hoping to be admitted, the Mandaue City Government has asked the administration of the Mandaue City College (MCC) not to be too strict with the admission process so more students can avail of the free education offered.

Mandaue City Mayor Glenn Bercede said he already spoke with MCC Administrator Joey Rivamonte and appealed for the college to increase the number of available slots, as many students are eager to enroll.

Bercede said he told the college administrator that if MCC believes it can handle the capacity, they should not be too strict with applicants who didn’t pass especially those who only fell short by a small margin, so they can still avail of the opportunity.

"Ang akong gusto ana naay libre nga edukasyon sa Mandaue," said Bercede.

Bercede said it’s possible the number of slots will increase, as this is what they requested from MCC and the City Treasurer’s Office.

The mayor said he requested that more students be accommodated, as many are eager to avail of free education.
