UNIVERSITY OF THE CORDILLERAS HYMN

Composer: Dr. Rodolfo Cornejo

Hold high the torch

Let its blaze reach all corners,
Throughout the world
To lighten the course of darkness.
Keep wise and well
Not forgetting fidelity,
To our Alma Mater wherever we may be
Keep our hearts together
With glowing love and loyalty.
Hold tight the shield
And defend our dear country,
We must not yield
To threats made upon our safety.
This is the pledge
We shall keep till our dying day,
To our Alma Mater wherever we may be
Keep our hearts together
With glowing love and loyalty.
UNIVERSITY OF THE CORDILLERAS MARCH
Composer: Dr. Rodolfo Cornejo
 Up the zigzag road you will find your way
Leading to the gate of learning
Give the place some thought
You can’t go astray
There is where you’ll hear them singing

‘Neath the tall and stalwart pine tress

Our Alma Mater proudly stands
Over hills and over valleys
With full command upon the strand;
There is where my mind is nourished
With the wisdom that I need
There is where I reap some knowledge
My heart to strengthen my creed.

Hear the murmur of those pine trees

Feel the softness of mountain breeze
If you have some ambition, the right inspiration
You’ll find in the Baguio Colleges.
