The Central Philippine University Republic (CPUR), often referred to as CPU Republic, is the student government of Central Philippine University in Iloilo City. It was established in 1906, a year after Jaro Industrial School (the forerunner of Central Philippine University) was established, and holds the distinction of being the oldest student governing body (council) in South East Asia.[1] CPU Republic is modeled on the Federal government of the United States and consists of three branches: executive, legislative and judicial.
Recently,[when?] the council adopted a parliamentary form of legislature still composed of senators and representatives.
