UP CMC has consistently pursued its vision of developing socially responsible, critical and vigilant media practitioners to help create an egalitarian, participative and progressive society. Through the years, the College has produced graduates who have become leaders and movers in Philippine mass media and in the field of communications, both in the public and private sectors.

Isang libo’t isang tuwa ang naghihintay sa inyo sa CMC@50.”
