6. WCC'S CORE VALUES:
THE BE-ATTITUDES OF A WORLD CITIZEN
Christ-centered. In my heart and mind, Christ's love and sacrifice is treasured. In words
and in deeds, the love that was given to me through the cross is shown to my
fellowmen. The truth that has set me free remains the light that guides me in my walk.
Servant-leader. Inspired by the words of Christ, "I came not to be served but to serve," I
help the community through an excellent, competent, humble and righteous direction.
Marked by my deep desire to look after those who are in need, as a World Citizen, I
plant the seed of my youth to the fertile soil of authentic Christian leadership.
Excellent. In all toil and labor, I give my best effort. Where there is a need for sacrifice, I
am always ready to offer that extra-mile. I shun off mediocrity but rejoice in the success
of my pursuits.
Compassionate. I am a person of strength, yet my heart remains broken before Jesus. I
realize that God-given might shall be for those who need it the most. I am always ready
to give a helping hand, no matter how costly the sacrifice maybe. I am gentle in spirit,
an epitome of unconditional love and tenderness.
Person of Integrity. The love of God has made me a complete person. Being such, I
cherish a life that shows the virtues of Christianity. In home and school, in every work or
play, wherever and in whatever circumstances I am in, I become the salt and light that
Christ commands everyone to be. I set the example of a Godly attitude

excellent and holistic education with a firm Christian foundation that is

MISSION:
10. WCC Philosophy and Credo
World Citi Colleges is an institution founded in the uncompromising belief that God is
the Lord of history and therefore nothing happens in human life without divine
providence and intervention.
WCC stands on the conviction that its educational vision and mission constitute a high
calling and ministry. Bound by its dedication to educational excellence, it is mandated to
lead in holistic and professional education that is Christian in foundation, nationalist in
perspective, competency-based and research-driven in curriculum, scientific in

As World Citizens, WCC alumni exceed standard expectations in their fields of
specialization. With superior academic training and intellectual prowess, they rise above
the throng in their passion for achievement, always excelling in performance and
leadership.
Imbued in their WCC culture is the profound concern for ecological and socio-economic
justice, human life and dignity. Thus, World Citizens respect all people as persons of
sacred worth and because of this they cross boundaries to remove all prejudices on the
basis of creed, class, race, or gender. This lifestyle and philosophy is rooted in the WCC
Christian vocation embodied in its college hymn: "Called to serve and to care."
11. WCC HYMN
We burn the midnight oil
To seek and know and dream
To be the best we can be
Borne of love, compassion and integrity.

Hand in hand with dignity
And the world will be changed forever
When God calls His Citi to share
We're the World Citi Colleges
Called upon to serve and to care.
We reach for the highest high
Respected and admired
With Pride we carry our name
To the world our mission we proclaim.
12. WCC PRAYER
Dear God
In our search for truth
Teach us compassion
Lead us to fulfill our dreams
and mission
To honestly discover ourselves
again
That we affirm and treasure
the wealth within
In Christ's name we pray
Amen.
