Bicol University Hymn
Music and Lyrics by Bobbie A. Garcia
This is a school we wish to sing of
A school to honor and revere
A temple built by men of firmness
A mould for youth who walk with pride
For thee we’ll always be united
Although we tread on distant lands
We all shall cherish what you’ve taught us
That you whole heartedly gave forth
Refrain:
Bicol University, burning torch of wisdom
Fount of courage, hope and love
Seat of truth and light.
