PLTC HYMN

As the sun rises in the east

As the baby rose to his feet
So a flower blooms from its bud
To take a peep of the land.

As the stars are shining in the sky

Lighting paths at every mile
So a school opens in every heart
To people of every walk in life.

Refrain

This is PLTC, prouder as can be

Soaring like eagles, roaring like a sea
Simple beginning and is now shining
PLTC flies all through the sky

Like a tree that bears more fruit

Tendered by hands with skills and hard work
So a school that offers you the best
That one could ever wish and every crave

(Repeat Refrain)

PLT College Incorporated

With a simple and humble epithet
Commitment to service and excellence
For the glory of the Divine Providence

(Repeat Refrain)

PLTC FLIES ALL THROUGH THE SKY……...
