Valencia Colleges (Bukidnon), Inc. is a private non-sectarian institution of higher learning located at Hagkol, Valencia City, Bukidnon, Philippines. Established in 1989, it is a non-stock corporation. It offers preschool, grade school, junior high school, senior high school, college, and graduate school.The idea of establishing a private non-sectarian college in the City of Valencia (then a municipality) was hatched in the late 1980s. A group of Ph.D. students of Mindanao Polytechnic State College in Cagayan de Oro City, inspired by their professor, Atty. Isaias P. Giduquio, former civil service regional director of Region X (formerly Don Mariano Marcos Polytechnic State College, Cagayan de Oro City), formed a non-stock corporation aimed at organizing a school of higher education. This core group of planners included Giduquio, Alexander B. Amador, Irene B. Antonio, Reynaldo B. Antonio, Quipte Consus, Mario Basalo, and Pablito Intong.Valencia was, at the time, a city in the making. The growth in population, agriculture, business, and industry was phenomenal. Valencia had become a major destination of migrants from Luzon and Visayas as well as from the provinces and cities of Mindanao. With this scenario, the planners saw the highly trained and skilled manpower and therefore, the need to establish professional and a non-sectarian institution of higher learning which would provide the training for would-be professionals and skilled workers.On March 13, 1990, the school was incorporated under SEC Registration No. 174651, henceforth to be known officially as Valencia Colleges (Bukidnon) Incorporated, in short VCI. The name Bukidnon was inserted to emphasize the location of the institution to make it distinct from the town of Valencia, Bohol.
