Marking another historic event, Naga College Foundation celebrated its 63^rd year in a festivity which commemorated its establishment in 1947.

Pre-foundation events kicked-off as early as February 27 in a Tribute Concert for NCF Achievers & 2010 Graduates which featured Shamrock.  Other pre-foundation events included a Career Information Fair; Miss NCF 2010; ROTC Loyalty Parade; Kurit-Gurit Asin Dunong 2010 and the Engineering & Technology Mini Skills Olympics.

The 63^rd Foundation Anniversary gave way to the BIKOLNON FESTIVALS.  Expressing it in an unfussy straightforward declaration of being a Bicolano, we proudly shout "ORGULYO" (To be proud of).  Naga College Foundation featured "Bikolnon" through the opening of the Bikoliana Section at the Main Library.  This section features literary pieces and books about the Bicolanos and the Bicol Region.  Another feature was the Bikol Literary & Cultural Contests wherein NCF employees showed their skills in Poster Making, Essay & Poetry Writing, Vocal Solo and the like.  NCeans were also provided a Bikol Literature Workshop wherein writing techniques on drama, fiction and non-fiction have been discussed.  At the end of the day the NCF Community was treated with an amusing play by the Center for Arts Culture & Bicol Studies – "Kon Tano an Babae an Naghuhugas nin Plato". The term ORGULYO for NCeans is not limited to being an impressive Oragon but moreover for being proud of your heritage… proud of your roots… proud of being an NCean.

The Foundation Anniversary Proper was observed Friday, March 5, initiated by a Eucharistic Celebration officiated by Fr. Felix F. Barela (School Chaplain).  This was followed by a grand motorcade that was participated by all departments.  The Opening Program of the Foundation Anniversary was the highlight of the whole celebration.  It was formally opened by the 63^rd Foundation Chairperson and NCF's Vice President for Administration, Ms. Ann V. Hidalgo.  The occasion showed-off Field Demonstrations which were presented by different departments; including a Judo Exhibition by the Criminal Justice Education Department.  A Memorandum of Agreement was also signed between NCF and the Municipality of Camaligan and Brgy. Peñafrancia (Naga City).  This was spearheaded by the Nursing & Health Sciences Department.  The MOA is aimed to provide a year long training to barangay health workers for free.  This is to advance their skills in health care services.  Other activities included the Seminar on Safe Motorcycle Riding and free Electronics & Automotive Services. On the same day, the Basic Education Department simultaneously celebrated their Larong Pinoy and Family Day Celebration.  In our modern age of computer generated pastime, children tend to forget the traditional games we so fondly used to play.  Hence the Larong Pinoy was a suited venue to have the High School Students experience again these time-honored games.  Whereas the Elementary Department held their Family Day with a 'story-telling' activity from the Kabulig Bicol, an organization of Bicolano Writers.  Finally, the day was concluded by an Anniversary Concert by the renowned NCF Concert & Marching Band.

Today's generation is privileged to experience Naga College Foundation.  We should be thankful to our Founder, Dr. Melchor T. Villanueva, who struggled to realize this dream.  Naga College Foundation is our link to the past; yet a bridge to our future.

Happy 63^rd Foundation Anniversary NCF!!!
