Mater Dei College also referred to by its acronym MDC is a private, Roman Catholic, co-educational basic and higher education institution located in Tubigon, Bohol, Philippines. It was established in 1983.
History[edit]
It was during the term of Hon. Eufrasio Mascarinas as mayor of the town that the school was established. Bohol's prominent residents together with the local government unit had joined hands to build a community college for local residents who are economically challenged to send their children to big cities to obtain college education. During that time, Tagbilaran City was the only nearest place that offers college education and only few are capable of sending their children to Cebu and Manila for higher education.
It is through the efforts of then Sangguniang Bayan secretary, Cesar Mascarinas, parish priest Msgr. Camilo V. Auza and an educator Lourdes H. Torrefranca, Ph.D., that drafted the idea of funding a college into a reality. Finally, Resolution no. 78 (series of 1983) of the town council was passed for this act. The first set of the Members of the Board of Trustees and Incorporators of the school were:
- Rev. Fr. Josemaria S. Luengo, Ph.D.
- Lourdes H. Torrefranca, Ph.D.
- Most Rev. Felix S. Zafra, D.D.
- Benjamin L. Mejorada, Ph.D.
- Msgr. Camilo V. Auza, H.P.
- Rose P. Alfafara, O.D.
- Mariano M. Lerin, Ph.D.; CPA
- Cesar C. Mascarinas, M.A.
