history
The university's history began on October 19, 1904 when Manila Business School (MBS) opened. In 1908 it was renamed the Philippine School of Commerce (PSC). From 1933 to 1946 it was merged with the Philippine Normal School (PNS) and in 1952 it was given college status, the Philippine College of Commerce (PCC). The university was a center of the left-wing First Quarter Storm Movement from January to March 1970. The college was given university status on April 1, 1978, so that the Polytechnic University of the Philippines could be opened. In 1989, the concept of the Open University on the Taguig campus was researched for the first time in the Philippines, and in 1990 it was introduced at another six locations, where distance learning courses are also offered. The Information and Communications Technology Center (PUP ICT Center) was inaugurated in 2000.
