History of Your University

The history of Emilio Aguinaldo College began with its founding president Dr. Paulo C. Campos who had a vision to establish the university. Historically known as San Pedro de Makati, the city was under Spanish rule until the Americans took control after the Spanish-American war. The National Archives of the Philippines Act of 2007 was passed to strengthen the management of archival records and establish the National Archives. Near the university is the National Museum of the Philippines whose mission is to acquire, preserve, and exhibit cultural artifacts, though it faces challenges of lack of funds and threats of damage.

History of your University

The history of EMILIO AGUINALDO COLLEGE begins with a man who had a

dream — Dr. Paulo C. Campos, President of the University Physicians’ Services, Inc.

(UPSI), who was its founding President, and where Emilio Aguinaldo College

belongs among its subsidiaries.

History of your City

Historically known as San Pedro de Makati, the then-settlement was under

the jurisdiction of Franciscan friars from 1600-1700. Two of the Philippines' oldest

Catholic churches — Nuestra Señora de Gracia in Guadalupe and the Church of

Saints Peter and Paul — are located in Makati.

Almost two centuries later in 1890, the town was officially decreed as a public

town of Manila. San Pedro de Makati would also prove to be focal point of opposition

against the Spanish, with the area's local Katipunan council under Pio del Pilar

demonstrating acts of resistance against the country's Spanish colonizers.

After the events of the Spanish-American War, the Americans took full control

of Luzon, including San Pedro de Makati. In June 11, 1901 under Commonwealth

Act No. 137, the area was added to the province of Rizal. Later that year, Fort

William McKinley (now known as Fort Bonifacio) was built as a military reservation.
Republic Act No. 9470

Known as the National Archives of the Philippine Act of 2007, is an act to

strenghten the system management and administration of archival records ,

establishing for the purpose the National Archives of the Philippines, and for other

purposes.

maintenance of Specimens in natural and social sciences.

Problems Encountered​: Thieves and art dealers are the usual suspects, but mildew

and flashbulbs are just as dangerous for some of the Philippines’ beleaguered

cultural treasures.

From a 30,000-year-old skull fragment of one of its first human inhabitants to

imposing churches built during Spanish colonial rule, the Southeast Asian

archipelago has a stunning display of artifacts showcasing its diverse history.

But they are under threat on every front.

Even at the National Museum where half a million archaeological items are

supposed to be protected, a lack of funds means they could be as vulnerable as

treasures outside its walls, said its chief conservator Orlando Abinion.

“They are in danger, yes, they are prone to deterioration, robbery, vandalism,”
One of his biggest achievements was saving the “Spoliarium”, a four-by-seven-meter

(301-square-foot) oil-on-poplar painted in 1884 by revered Filipino artist Juan Luna

that had been badly damaged by heat and humidity.

Depicting dead gladiators set to be stripped of their worldly possessions, the

masterpiece symbolizes the crystallization of Filipino yearning for independence from

the Spanish that, in 1897, would escalate into an uprising. Operating on a budget so

small that air-conditioning has to be shut down on the weekends, the collection is

under threat from fungus, said German conservationist Monika Schneider-Gast.
