"The joy of Photography will surely help to enrich your life all the more." - R.M.C.C.I.

"The formation of the Ramon Magsaysay Camera Club, Inc. was the joint effort of the 38th term class of the Ramon Magsaysay
Evening Vocational School (RMEVS) that offers 6 months photography course for free. This was the first batch of students
(1995-1996) under its new photography instructor ..."

"The name Ramon Magsaysay was adapted by the club in honor of a humble, honest and man of the masses who became president
of the Republic of the Philippines and also an enthusiast in photography. Naming the club after him was an expression of respect
as well as a gratitude to the school named after him ..." - Orlando S. Marquez, founding member and current adviser.
