MDC Hymn
At this age of information
Amidst this knowledge society
Rise a techno-institution
Granting skills a plenty.
Chorus:
Hi! MDC hail we to thee,
May thy great vision be our guide
To search for mission far and wide
MDC dear, We hail to thee
Metro Dumaguete College
Our Alma Mater beloved
Knowledge and skills from thee we gained,
Make business we’ve made do shine,
World trades and industries have seen
How world-class technocrats were mined.
Repeat Chorus
All lessons from day one, we’ve learnt,
Honor and prestige for thee we’ll earn,
Wealth and riches us may come
Then live our lives and build sweet homes.
Repeat Chorus
