We give You our greatest thanks and praises for all that You have incessantly bestowed unto us; for the establishment of the Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas through its Founding Father, Honorable Eduardo B. Dimacuha.

As one community, we bow our heads in solemnity, as together we not only heed but take action upon your call to serve and educate.

We ask for your continuous blessings for all the people who serve this noble purpose. Grant our Board of Trustees chaired by Hon. Beverly Rose A. Dimacuha and the College Administrators, the ability to act with a zealous heart for them to uphold the commitment to be vanguards of quality education and for them to remain humble as they perform their duties bounded by such noblest morals and values. Continue to enlighten our faculty members, non-teaching personnel and all our stakeholders that they remain steadfast in our good mission to not only teach the mind but touch the hearts of students - those whom we are bound to love and serve.

Most importantly, Bless our students that they continue to uphold God’s words and teachings for them to use as they thread the road towards becoming better individuals who are God-fearing, disciplined, socially responsible and competitive. Bless as well their parents that they remain supportive of their journey towards learning and attainment of their dreams.

These, we pray with utmost thrust and confidence

Amen.
