A Message from the President

Dear students, parents, partners, and friends,

Welcome to Philippine International College (PIC).

PIC was born in 1996 on the mission field of the Philippines, not in a glamorous campus but in a small rented room filled with prayer, vision, and the dream of transforming lives through Christian education.

From the Aeta tribal villages affected by Mt. Pinatubo, to urban poor communities, to mountain regions and public schools, God has led us step by step to see the power of education shaped by the Gospel.

What began in 1996 as a small Bible institute with only five students has grown into a full Christian College with over 1,500 students and more than 450 local churches established by PIC graduates.

PIC is a missional learning community committed to raising

• Christian leaders,

• globally competent professionals,

• community-transformers,

• and servants of God shaped by character, compassion, and competence.

At PIC, education is not just academic.
It is relational, communal, spiritual, and mission-driven.
Every student who comes to PIC is here because God has a plan and purpose for his or her life.

As the President of PIC and as a missionary who has served in the Philippines for 35 years, my heart is to help you discover God’s calling and to guide you toward a future filled with hope and purpose.

Thank you for visiting PIC.
We warmly welcome you to a community where faith, learning, and mission come together for God’s glory.

Sincerely,
Dr. Young Han Kwon
President
Philippine International College
