Controversies
Philippine Senator
Edgardo J. Angara called MCC Baler a ''"bulok na paaralan,"'' that is, literally, a "rotten school," in his speech delivered on August 19, 2011, at the municipal plaza of Baler across the ''San Luis Obispo de Tolosa'' Parish on the occasion of the 402nd founding anniversary of this town attended by local government officials and employees, teachers and students, and other townspeople. He unleashed a broadside against the Prelature of Infanta, accusing it of "claiming possession of the municipal plaza and the lot where the college stands." He waved to the crowd photocopies of documents allegedly showing that the plaza has been owned by the parish and the college grounds by the municipal government since 1929. He said that the prelature was able to transfer in its name possession of the plaza and the college site in 1980. He suggested that the college now being run by the parish "be vacated and transferred to another site to pave the way for the restoration of the Baler church." He noted that the college building is an eyesore as it was built "higher than the church, obstructing the religious structure from public view." In a more conciliatory tone, he said that he offered Php30,000,000 as assistance to the local parish to transfer to a better location where it could put up a brand-new campus complete with playground and academic facilities. He mentioned that in 2007 he already made the offer, but it was refused. He clarified that the national government, through his representation, has been providing assistance for MCC Baler students, contrary to the prelature's claim that it was the one helping them. He further said that for the last five years these students received a total of Php26,000,000 in subsidy from the national government through the Government Assistance to Private Education (GASTPE) program which he authored in the Senate. A few weeks later, the prelature issued an official written statement posted on the college bulletin, vehemently denying all of the senator's accusations, calling them as pure fabrications, particularly the alleged 30-million offer for the parish to transfer to another site where it could build a new school.
