The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) is a public university located in Manila, Philippines. It was founded on October 19, 1904 as the Manila Business School, then the city's business school.[3] The university operates on three campuses located throughout Manila. Furthermore, the university has 21 satellite campuses located throughout Luzon. PUP is the largest university of the Philippines in terms of student population with 61,253 enrollees.[2][3][5] The university is also notable for charging the lowest tuition among all universities in the Philippines at 12 pesos (US$0.29) per academic unit, a rate that has unchanged since 1979.[6]

The university is composed of several autonomous colleges, schools and institutes, each conferring undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate degrees, and the basic education units. Several degrees have been accredited by the Commission on Higher Education as Centers of Development.[7][8] The athletic team is the Mighty Maroons, a member of the State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA).

History

The institution started as the Manila Business School (MBS), founded on October 19, 1904[2] as part of the city school system of Manila under the superintendence of C.A. O’Reilley. The school was established to meet the demands of needed businessmen and businesswomen for government service and private employment.[9] It was renamed as Philippine School of Commerce (PSC) on 1908[2] and became an National school.[9] In 1911, the school was again placed under the administration of the city school system but still kept its status as an National school.[9]

In 1933, PSC merged with the Philippine Normal School (PNS)[2] and the Philippine School of Arts and Trades. The resulting merger placed PSC under the administration of PNS[9] and PSC students who completed their courses were considered graduates of the PNS.[9] President Manuel L. Quezon promised a new building for the school through his graduation address in 1940.[9] This was supported by Congressman Manuel A. Alazarte and PSC's Department Head Luis F. Reyes, who formulated a bill to this effect and present it to the Congress in 1942. Unfortunately, the plan was not carried out because of the Pacific War.[9]

In 1946, efforts for the school's re-establishment and rehabilitation was intensified. The Bureau of Public Works released more than ₱8,000 for the repairs and maintenance of public buildings of which the school is a beneficiary. The ruins of PNS's Normal Hall was reconstructed and the college resumed its operations. Afterwards, the Normal Hall was converted as a dormitory, forcing PSC to continue its operations on its former campus before the merge with PNS and PSAT.[9] However, its campus size is inadequate to serve its ever-growing student population and therefore the school authorities intensified its plans and proposals to acquire a new campus lot. A new campus lot was acquired and PSC moved to its new campus on July 1947 which is located at S. H. Loyola Street in Sampaloc, Manila.[9] It continued its operations there until 1971.

PSC became the Philippine College of Commerce (PCC) on 1952 by virtue of Republic Act 778, which broadened the school's course offerings and with Reyes serving as its first president.[10] The expansion and establishment of satellite campuses throughout the country started on the late 1960s. Also, it was at this time that the school acquired a large lot located at Santa Mesa, Manila. This lot became the new flagship campus of the school.[10]

The Philippine College of Commerce (PCC) was converted into a chartered state university which was accordingly renamed as the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), through Presidential Decree (PD) 1341 in 1978 with Mateo serving as the first University President.[11] Mateo was succeeded by Dr. Nemesio E. Prudente[12] who was known for his educational reforms and his contribution to the university. A plaza was erected in the center of the campus in honor of Prudente and his achievements.

On 2004, PUP celebrated its centennial anniversary. To highlight the signing of the Declaration of Peace to be put before the United Nations, PUP held the record for the world's largest human rainbow[13] consisting of 30,365 students, faculty, staff and alumni.[14]

Dante G. Guevarra assumed presidency on 2005, and his administration was notable for its numerous issues including allegations of graft and corruption, the assassination of the then-Vice President for Administration Augustus Cezar,[15][16][15][17] and issues about the university's land disputes. Guevarra also failed to obtain an outstanding rating as the University President and therefore his term was not renewed.[18][19] Students also expressed outrage and dissatisfaction against Guevarra's administration.[20]

Guevarra was replaced by Edicio G. dela Torre, followed by Estelita Wi-Dela Rosa,[18] both of whom became the Officers-in-Charge of PUP for a while as the Board of Regents searched for a new university president,[19] although this move did not fare well among the faculty and students and several protests occurred.[21] Emanuel de Guzman was appointed as the new university president on March 2012.[22][23]

Campus

The campus of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines is located at Santa Mesa, Manila comprising an area of 48 acres (0.2 km2), although its total land area is still disputed. The university operates on three campuses located throughout Manila: the A. Mabini Campus (located at Anonas Street), the National Development Corporation Compound Campus (located at Pureza Street) and the Marcelo H. del Pilar Campus (located at Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard). The campus lies on the banks of Pasig River. The campus also encompasses a number of residential areas. It is served by a PNR railway station and has a ferry station located within its compound.

The Mabini Campus is the flagship campus of the university. It is located at Anonas Street, although it is more associated with Teresa Street. Within its precinct can be found the bustling areas of commerce and historic places which includes the Apolinario Mabini Shrine, a place where the house that Apolinario Mabini lived was erected along with a municipal library which contains some of the books he wrote and souvenir items. The campus was also named in honor of him.

Much of PUP's landmarks are located in this campus, which includes the Pylon and the Mabini Circle. Open areas and spacious parks are located throughout the campus, although recent developments saw the depletion of available open areas. Within this campus can be found the Charlie del Rosario Student Development Center, the students' activity center which also serves as the headquarters of numerous organizations, and fraternities and sororities.

PUP's administrative and executive offices are located in this campus.[24] The compound of PUP's Laboratory High School is located inside this campus. Also located within this campus are the PUP Main Academic Building, the Ninoy Aquino Learning Resources Center (NALRC), the Luntiang Pilipinas Forest Park, and a vast sports complex which includes the university gymnasium, an Olympic-size swimming pool, several open courts and a massive open-field stadium.

The National Development Corporation Compound (NDCC) Campus is the technological campus of the university. It is the home of the College of Architecture and Fine Arts, College of Communication, College of Engineering, and the Institute of Technology.[24] The area in which the campus sits was originally intended for the exclusive use of the university, although numerous issues[example needed] in the 1980s prevents the site to be fully utilized by the university. Landmarks located inside the campus are the College of Communication Theater, College of Engineering and Architecture Building, and the Antique House.

The Marcelo H. Del Pilar Campus, located at Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard, is the home of the Graduate School and the College of Tourism, Hospitality, and Transportation Management.[24] The PUP Hasmin Hotel is located in this campus.

The university's Central Student Council is the official governing student body and acts as the regulatory body for all student campus organizations. It approves the registration and oversees implementation of university-wide activities, such as annual freshmen welcoming. These include religious and cultural groups, academic and athletic clubs and groups. Numerous fraternities and sororities have established chapters inside the university.

The university's alumni association, the Federation of Alumni Associations in PUP, Inc. (FEDAAPI), oversees various activities such as class reunions, local gatherings, alumni travel, and career services. Alumni gatherings are held at the PUP Tahanan ng Alumni Building, which was established by the alumni of the university.

Athletics

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Mighty Maroons are the official athletic teams of the university and are members of the State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA).[1] Since the university's teams are called the Mighty Maroons, its mascot is simply named as "Mighty Maroon" who is also known as "PUPoy". The university also promotes the culture of sports and athletics through its College of Human Kinetics.

Activism

The university is well-known for its student activism.[2] Activists have played significant role throughout the university. Staged demonstrations and rallies within the campus are frequent, although only a number of people are known to participate, but the total figure swells up on the event of a larger uprising. Vandalism in the campus is also frequent, and oftentimes student activists are responsible for all these. PUP also has many student groups focused on political reform. The university also has a variety of partisan groups ranging from liberal to conservative, and several third party organizations. Given the university's proximity to the Malacañan Palace, activists often stage rallies or demonstrations at the palace grounds, especially at Mendiola Street.

Insignia and other representations

Motto and song

"Tanglaw ng Bayan" is the official motto of the university, translated in English as "Light of the Nation". The university song is called as "Imno ng PUP", which is sung in Tagalog and has been the university's song ever since Prudente restructured the university's philosophy in the 1980s.

Seal

The university's seal is the official scheme used by the university in official documents and official publications.

The star in the logo stands for the perfection of the human person as well as the search for truth, while the five concentric circles depict infinite wisdom. The five-pointed star and the five concentric circles stand for quintessence, meaning the highest form of quality or the most perfect example of creation. These five concentric circles are white because it symbolizes purity. The colors used in the seal represents PUP's traditional color.[3]

University symbols

The Pylon

Other symbols that represents PUP are the Pylon, the Obelisk, the Mural, and The Transformation, which are collectively known as "University Symbols".[3]

The Pylon is a triad pillars of marble erected at the main entrance of the Mabini Campus. It was constructed in the 1970s. The Pylon originally stood for the true, the good and the beautiful. However since 1987, it became to symbolize truth, excellence and wisdom. The Pylon may also stand for wisdom, strength and beauty.[3]

Another symbol of PUP was the Obelisk, constructed on the site called the Mabini Circle. It was intended to be a toned-down replica of the Washington Monument. A bust of Apolinario Mabini was erected at its front. The obelisk was meant to symbolize the "strength" of the university as "an institution of of higher learning". On the top of it was the university seal, which can be illuminated at night. The university seal being placed on top of the obelisk symbolizes PUP as the "Light of the Nation" – the university's official motto.[3]

Aside from the Pylon and the Obelisk, two artworks also came to stand as representation for the university. In 1974, the Mural was built by national artist Eduardo Castrillo. The mural illustrates the social, economic, industrial, technological, and cultural aspect of life with which man blends himself to develop an environment necessary to the progress of the nation. The mural was placed at the main entrance of Mabini Campus. Meanwhile, The Transformation, a masterpiece built by architect Lor Calma in 2000 depicts the "dynamic transformation" of PUP as it "embraces the power of Information and Communications Technology".[3] The Transformation is displayed at the lobby of Ninoy Aquino Learning Resources Center.
