About Us

The Pangasinan Memorial College, Inc. (PMCI) was founded and established on February 23, 1949 by the late Dr. Baldomero L. Pulido, a well-known researcher and historian during his time, together with his wife and children. Strategically located adjacent to the beautiful and sandy beaches of Lingayen Gulf at the corner of Artacho and Alvar Streets right in the heart of Pangasinan's capital and education center, this institution is very accessible by all modes of transportation from all entry points in Pangasinan.From its modest beginnings, PMCI gained prominence and province-wide fame as it continuously render relentless and persistent efforts and dedicated commitment in improving crafts as well as maintaining quality education.Yearly, the college welcomes an influx of enrollees from the vicinity and neighboring municipalities of the capital town of Lingayen, especially from the western parts of Pangasinan which includes the towns of Dasol, Burgos, Mabini, Bani, Anda, and Bolinao. The students come from as far as Zambales, an evidence of PMCI’s popularity due to its academic distinction and superiority. Its golden era of prominence was very eminent before the establishment of a state university in Lingayen. Even with the presence of government institutions and other big private schools, the operational growth of PMCI was never intimidated and continued to flourish and prosper until 1975 when Dr. Pulido passed away after being bedridden for almost 10 years.With Dr. Pulido's inability to participate actively in the management of the affairs of the college due to his ailment almost all the incorporators backed-out one after the other, leaving the college financially broke, destitute with manpower shortfall. The eventual withdrawal of the key officials caused a terrible setback on the management of the PMCI. It came to a point when there was no other choice but for Dr. Pulido's wife to take over and continue its operation with only a handful of employees assisting her. To console their mother’s suffering from the college downfall, the Pulido children took over the stewardship of PMCI in 1976. From then on, the enrolment kept on picking up until it eventually regained its lost glory and grandeur.Today, the population is growing steadily despite the challenges that confront the PMCI like the existence and proximity of various educational institutions competing with the college.Undaunted by competition, the Pangasinan Memorial College, Inc. continues to soar up high as it promotes academic excellence and continues its efforts to maintain the institution’s fame and prestige.
