Message
Welcome and Congratulations for having decided to be a part of King’s College of the Philippines.
In our troubled nation where political instability and economic crisis are evident, EDUCATION is seemingly perceived by many as the
only solution to these problems. I therefore congratulate you my dear students for choosing and trusting KCP for your EDUCATION.
With vigor, zeal and unflattering commitment of the faculty and staff of KCP to achieve its mission-vision-goals, particularly in
promoting quality education and in molding the students to become responsible and morally upright citizens, you are assured of the
needed knowledge, skills, values and love which will give you confidence and courage to face the challenges of the future. Confidence
drives us to go on with life despite pressures and difficulties in the real world.
To you my dear students, don’t have doubt on your potentials. You must be convinced that you must have to be prepared for a greater
responsibilities and achievements. You must not allow complacency to corrode your innate nature to excel and be the best that you can
be.
The society we all live today has been rocked with so much hate, inconsistencies, jealousies and pride. Stand tall and be a cut above the
rest.
Do not be afraid to move on, for there is that Great SOMEONE who told his disciples once, “Don’t be afraid, know that I am with you
till the end of time…” God is the ultimate source of our strength. “I Love You, Oh Lord my Strength” Psalm 18:1.
God Bless and be as eagles ready to take their first flight- I wish you good luck!

ARTICLE I. INTRODUCTION
Section 1. A Glimpse of King’s College of the Philippines Milestone: Cordillera and Beyond
By: Charlie Moreno Cubalit
King’s College of the Philippines is a mission school under the auspices of Northern Luzon Presbyterian Church. The school was
traceably a conceptualized idea in 1991, when a Korean Missionary, Rev. Kwon, Young Soo arrived in the Philippines. For 15 years,
missionary Kwon laboriously ministered among the mountain people in the various Cordillera provinces namely: Mt. Province,
Kalinga, Apayao, Ifugao, Benguet and Baguio City. Seeing the need to leverage ministerial works and the lack of theologically
trained clergy in the Cordilleras, he started a Bible School in Sabangan, Mt. Province.
It was not only spiritual needs that moved Rev. Kwon Young Soo in most of his visits throughout Cordillera. He realized also the
need to address the concern on the growing number of unschooled youth. So in 2003, his vision was intensified when he decisively
established two Higher Education Institution campuses, the Eastern Luzon Colleges in Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya and Eastern Luzon
Colleges-Benguet, now known as King’s College of the Philippines. Both campuses were registered under the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). In 2004, the government-mandated Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA)
issued permit to then ELC-Benguet, allowing the following vocational courses in specific technical skills to be offered: One (1) Year
and Six (6) months Automotive Mechanics (now Automotive Servicing), one (1) Year and Six (6) months Building Wiring Electrician
(now Electrical Installation and Maintenance and Two (2) years Computer Secretarial. ELC-Benguet started amidst reputable and
decent colleges and universities in the area. In La Trinidad alone, Benguet State University and Cordillera Career Development
College are already established HEIs, not counting other thriving Technical Trade schools and other Colleges. In the nearby city of
Baguio, Saint Louis University, University of the Cordilleras, University of Baguio, University of the Philippines, Baguio Central
University, Easter College, National University, AMA, STI, and many more smaller colleges already in operation have been tested in
performances and excellence through tough times (note in particular that SLU, UC and UB are private Autonomous HEIs and
centers of excellence in specific fields). KCP’s qualifying distinction from among these colleges is its distinctive foundation and
purpose. Its vision as a Higher Education Institution, as clearly stated on the threshold of the campus, is to rise from relative
obscurity to attain national to global significance, with an outcry of fulfilling truth, justice and freedom embedded in its name and its
logo.
It was indeed strategic to have KCP started with technical and vocational skills. This was a major contributory factor to its take off,
providing enough operational funds for the four year courses, such as BS Accountancy, BS Computer Science, BS Commerce, BS
Office Administration and BS Secretarial Administration in 2005. In June 2006, KCP offered Bachelor in Secondary Education,
Bachelor in Elementary Education and Bachelor of Science in Criminology. Remarkably, since the first batch of Criminology
graduates in 2010 took their Criminology Licensure Examination, they were able to maintain a 100% Passing Rate for three
consecutive years.
Meanwhile, the KCP Trade Technical department added numerous vocational courses to the already TESDA certified lists.
Additional degree programs too, such as BS Hotel and Restaurant Management and AB Theology were added in 2010. In 2012, the
Department of Education-Cordillera Administrative Region (DepEd-CAR) granted the institution a Government Permit to operate a
high school, now popularly known as the Secondary Laboratory School.
It can be recalled that there were 69 vocational graduates in 2004. Before King’s College of the Philippines (KCP) celebrates a decade
of its foundation and existence, a consistent average of 630 graduates of both degree and non-degree courses marked the records for
the last three school years. As of today, KCP continually soars up in an accelerated increase of enrollees reaching to more than 3,000
students of ethnic identities, majority among them are from the provinces of the Cordillera Region. KCP is also being manned by a
total number of 160 faculty and staff of Cordillera descent, including full time 7 Doctorate and 42 Master’s Degree holders. The rest
of the employees are working on their doctoral or masters programs. Since its establishment, the following have held the presidency
of KCP: Dr. Carlos M. Alacdis (2004-2011) and Dr. Rosendo S. Gualdo (January-May 2012) as Officer-in-Charge. Rev. Ricardo Paulo
C. Umayam assumed the presidency in May 2012.
Observers can easily notice the pacing developments of facilities and increasing enrollees at KCP. In 2012, almost all of the colleges
started using the newly built 5 storey-building, except for the Technical Trade Department and College of Theology still using a
rented building. But there is more into this school than the manifested developments and quantified value. KCP ventured to
incorporate, integrate and practice Christian values and spiritual activities. KCP may be considered as a crystallization of Evangelical
Christianity spirit and reputation, especially in its commitment to continually seek for social expressions of spiritual belief. Its
academic policies and curriculum, having integrated Christian spirituality and values, has posed a challenge for a re-evaluation of
some of the extreme humanism in Education towards an inclusive idealism rooted in the Holy Scriptures. These were out of the
persistent influence of the founder, who made it clear to his administrative staff and constituents to put God as the sole reason of
KCP’s existence. He admonishes that the human resource’s service must always be motivated by love of God and love of students.
In summary, KCP remains committed to produce globally competent professionals who are civic-minded and responsible citizens
imbued with Christian values; prepare greater employment opportunities to graduates; preserve the Filipino culture and values in
community relations; and to provide continuing education and training.
