The name 'Chronicle' was inspired by the same publication organization in WCC Binalonan Campus. The Chronicle was re-established and was led by Mr. Kevin John Maddela, bearing the motto \"We Capture Stories.\" Although The WCC Chronicle has started to kick-off its activities as an organization, the Covid-19 pandemic had transpired, making the activities of The WCC Chronicle into a halt and went into a long state of hiatus. Fast forward to the year 2021, The WCC Chronicle has embarked on an inspiring journey of rebuilding, spearheaded by its new supervisor, Ms. Ailene Mae Perez.
