Multiple Intelligence Center
In 1999 Fr. Caesar Dizon, SDB, former rector of Don Bosco Technical Institute-Makati City, spearheaded a special project and organized a working team to conceptualize the development of a new learning center called MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE CENTER. This center is patterned from the theory of Dr. Howard Gardner who believed that every man has his own kind of intelligence and potential as a person.
The MIC was conceived to make students,teachers and personnel to be in touch with technological change. This change reflects a major challenge present in today's society-that is, the use of modern technology in all aspects of humanity. The MIC became a learning center equipped with the state-of-the-art technology and incorporating modern theories and principles.
On August 15, 2000, after its blessing by the Rector, the new MIC became functional with the appointment of Ms.Ofelia Dantes as its first MIC Head.

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
