CHAPTER I.
INTRODUCTION

A BRIEF HISTORY
I
t all started with a dream, and in it Mrs. Estrella O. Simon saw
herself managing her own school. From then on, that dream
never escaped her memory until it became a reality.
She interpreted it as a manifestation of God’s plan for her. She

believed that establishing her own school would guarantee that her
two children, Echel and Leovenci as well as the children of families
residing in Francisco Homes community will get a well-deserved, af-
fordable, quality education.
Upon consultation with her husband, Mr. Leonardo D. Simon of

her dreams and plans, the couple with the help of other family mem-
bers laid down the initial construction plan of the would be Francisco
Homes Learning Center.
On June 14, 1984 with an initial enrollment of 350 pupils distributed

to the Nursery up to Grade Four and with Mrs. Simon as principal, the
school formally opened. There were seven (7) pioneering teachers
namely: Ms. Visitacion Laciste, Ms. Leonita S. Alquisola, Ms. Sylyn B.
Decena, Ms. Susan P. Cariño, Mr. Pepito P. Gerona, Ms. Zenaida Y.
Gerona and Mr. Gaspar V. Solis Jr.
On its second year, the school population doubled, and it offered

complete elementary education under Government Recognition H-E-
023. In 1989, this learning center was renamed Francisco Homes
Learning Academy.
Thru cooperation, unity and genuine commitment of its administra-

tion, faculty and non-teaching personnel as well as the positive feed-
backs from stakeholders notably the parents, the academy contin-
ued to rise to its zenith and the founder’s efforts really paid off.
3
In 2003, Special Science Class high school was offered. This was
a brainchild of Mrs. Echel-Simon Antero, the Assistant Principal.
In March 2004, Mrs. Antero was officially installed as principal

of the Basic Education Department. In the same year, the academy
was renamed Francisco Homes College with Mr. Leonardo D. Simon
as President and Mrs. Estrella O. Simon as Vice President for Aca-
demic Affairs.
Simultaneous with these growth and expansion in population and

facilities is the opening of the collegiate level that offered courses in
Education with English, Mathematics and Physical Science as areas of
concentration and Nursing.
To address the needs for more college courses that were in de-
mand in the world of work, the college offered Bachelor of Science in
Hotel and Restaurant Management in 2006 and Bachelor of Science
in Information Technology with CISCO Program in 2010; Bachelor
of Science in Tourism Management; Bachelor of Science in Office
Management; and Bachelor of Science in Midwifery in 2012.
In consonance with the cityhood of San Jose del Monte, the first
among the municipalities in Bulacan, the college administration con-
ceived the idea of again renaming the college. Surveys and series of
consultations were undertaken and in 2008, First City Providential
College (FCPC), became its new name in grateful acknowledge-
ment of God’s divine graces showered upon this center of learn-
ing, THE FIRST, THE BEST in Bulacan. FCPC has not only made
changes in its name, it has also established a record of excellence as
shown by its performance; 100% passing rate in the Licensure Ex-
amination for Nurses; 100% passing rate in the Licensure Examina-
tion for Teachers; and CISCO Certified Network Associate (CCNA);
championship in CSANPRISA and BULPRISA, MTAP, and cultural
competitions notably.
4
Added to its string of accomplishments is the back to back-
championship of the campus journalists who earned for FCPC the
Over-all Championship in the Division Press Confer- ence for both
elementary and secondary level.
All these great things became possible because of dedicated and

loyal members of faculty and staff. Their dedication to the teaching
profession, their commitment to render quality service and their pas-
sion to make a difference contribute in the realization of the school’s
philosophy of providing quality education to all students.
These magnificent qualities of our honorees are worth emulating.
Thus, the length of quality service they’ve rendered and the sense
of loyalty they have shown are truly admirable and incomparable.
Indeed, they deserve recognition for a job well done.
1984

PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES
First City Providential College believes that testing is a profes-
sional activity that is subject to the principles of Code of Ethics of
Psy- chological Testing. Thus, the principles of responsibility, compe-
tence and propriety are the primary reasons in the formulation of the
following testing guidelines and procedure:
The guidance counselor and/or psychometrician should adminis-
ter, score and interpret test results in accordance with the instructors
provided by the test distributor.
The result of any test should be presented to the student/ client
for guidance and counseling purposes.
Test results should be stored securely, are not accessible to un-
authorized or unqualified persons and are not used for any purposes
other than those agreed with the test taker.
The informed consent of potential test takers should be obtained,
making sure that they understand why the tests will be administered,
what will be done with the results and who will be the authorized per-
sons to have access with the results. All test takers should be well
informed and well prepared for the test session, and that, all materi-
als are complete and appropriate.
Due consideration should be given to factors such as gender,
ethnicity, age, disability, special needs, educational background and
level of ability in using and interpreting the results of tests.
The test taker or other authorized persons should be provided
with feedback immediately or as needed about the results in a form
which is clear and in a style appropriate to their level of understanding.
118
Access to psychological test protocols at all times and strict con-
fidentiality of results should be practiced.
The guidance counselor or the psychometrician should refrain
from releasing the test data to unauthorized persons to protect a
student/client or others from substantial harm, misuse or misrepre-
sentation of the data or the test result. Release of confidential infor-
mation under these circumstances is regulated by law.
