The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (Politeknikong Pamantasan ng Pilipinas in Filipino and commonly abbreviated as P.U.P.) is a public, nonsectarian research university located in Manila, Philippines, established on October 19, 1904 as the Manila Business School, offering commerce-related courses.[1][2][3] The flagship campus of the university was named after Apolinario Mabini, a Filipino political philosopher and revolutionary who wrote a constitutional plan for the First Philippine Republic and served as its first prime minister.
PUP student's were called Scholars of the Nation (Iskolar ng Bayan), for the Philippine Government and other non-government institutions subsidize their tuition and other fees.

History
This institution started as the Manila Business School (MBS), founded in October 19 1904 as part of the city school system under the superintendence of C.A. O’Reilley, which responds to the demand for training personnel for government service and the felt need to provide skills essential for private employment. In 1908, it was renamed as Philippine School of Commerce (PSC) and merged with the Philippine Normal School (PNS) in 1933 to 1946. By virtue of Republic Act 778, the PSC was again changed to Philippine College of Commerce (PCC) in 1952. Subsequently, the Philippine College of Commerce (PCC) was converted into a chartered state university, now known as the Polytechnic University of the Philippines by virtue of Presidential Decree Number 1341 issued by the President of the Philippines on April 1, 1978.
On October 2004, the university celebrated its centennial anniversary with the theme "PUP: Kabalikat ng Pamahalaan sa Pag-angat ng Antas ng Kabuhayan ng Mamamayan". As part of the celebration and to highlight the signing of the Declaration of Peace to be put before the United Nations, the university broke the record for the world's largest human rainbow[4] consisting of 31,000 students, faculty, staff and alumni.
