Historical Background

Binalbagan Catholic College begun as Binalbagan Catholic High School. The starting of Catholic School in the area was a top priority of the Columban Fathers when they came to Negros Island in 1950. This was in the cord with the idea of the Catholic Church all over the world. On that period, there were few schools of higher education in the province of Negros Occidental. It was 1961, when the Catholic Church in Southern Negros saw the needs, to help the poorer students get a tertiary Catholic Education as they could not afford to go to the colleges in the cities.
The School Year 1978-1979 was mark with a significant change in BCC including the elementary and high school departments. The administration of the school was turned over completely to the Presentation Sisters. During the term of Sr. Aquila Sy, from 1978-85 BCC launched its program for social transformation and became an affiliate of the Education Forum, one of the Mission Partners of the Association of Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines. During the critical periods of the country�s history, BCC stood on the side of the oppressed.
School Years 1996-99 were marked by the rised of the Academic performance of graduates in BCC�s elementary, high school and college departments. Both the elementary and high school departments consistently made 100% passing in the national academic tests. In addition, the high school ranked as one the top twenty provincial high schools in the country. The education students obtained the ratings higher than the national average in the board examinations. BCC also had graduates who were national and regional topnotchers in the CPA and PLET board examinations.
BCC continues to work for its dream. It promotes among others the sovereignty of the country, equality among community of nations and the dignity of our people.

Section 4. BCC CREST
Nano Nagle, the foundress of the Presentation Sisters, had the Nagle Coat of Arms.
It has an escutcheon or shield-shape surface in heraldry gold denoting generosity ad elevation of mind. In its center is a horizontal bar of fess, which is a military belt or girdle of honor and signifies that the bearer must always be in readiness to undergo the business of the public weal. It is an azure or blue signifying loyalty and truth. On the fess are three diamonds and gold. Above the escutcheon is a nightingale. The oak design predominates. It holds the first place among trees and is said to signify antiquity and strength. Around the escutcheon is a scroll bearing the Nagle motto, NON VOX SED VOTUM, in English, NOT A VOICE BUT A WISH, or more freely translated �NOT WORDS BUT DEEDS�.
The Presentation Sisters adopted the Nano Coat of Arms with some modification. The nightingale was replaced by a cross and effulgence that symbolizes faith and strength as found on the ring worn by the Presentation Sisters.
BCC has adopted the Presentation Crest with the motto. Monstra Te Esse Matrem or Show You Are a Mother.
