On February 19, 2026 for the 72nd Founding Anniversary of Philippine College of Criminology, the Debate Competition lit up our Foundation Day celebrations.
Celebrating foundation day with confidence and conviction as we engage in a battle of ideas at the Debate Competition, where voices are heard and leaders are shaped.
Debate is not a measurement of intelligence, rather, it is a measurement of discipline and the level of understanding of the topics, logical arguments, and legal bases. It is a win-win competition where no one loses, because gaining additional knowledge already makes you a winner.
We congratulate all the winners from the champion to the 1st and 2nd runners-up and all the other participants who gave their best in this particular event, because this reflects your dedication and courage in facing your greatest fear in public discussion and argumentation. We encourage you all to continue studying and improving so that in the next battle, you will be better equipped with knowledge and return with strong confidence.
