Historical Sketch

The University of Perpetual Help System, having committed itself to service in the forefront of education and health care, came into being out of the unselfish effort and untiring commitment of its founders: Dr. Jose G. Tamayo and Dr. Josefina Laperal Tamayo. The desire to serve others was manifested at a very young age when Dr. Jose G. Tamayo, then a young boy, dreamed of becoming a doctor. For him, it was the best way that he could serve his fellowmen. But when that dream became a reality, he realized that his best was not good enough… the services he rendered were so limited and only within the realm of his profession as a doctor. With an ardent desire to serve his fellowmen, the idea of reaching out through the setting up of an educational institution.

From its humble beginning, the University of Perpetual Help Laguna, has now grown substantially. The College of Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering and Nursing have Level II accreditation by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA). The founders, Drs. Jose and Josefina, created an ideal partnership. Dr. Josefina was always at Dr. Jose's side, a partner in every undertaking until her early demise in 1987. And, as a fitting tribute, University status of the Perpetual Help System was granted on the natal day of Dr. Josefina Laperal Tamayo, on April 20, 1997. The nature of the University of Perpetual Help System is a private non-sectarian institution. As one of the component of the Perpetual Help System, it advocates quality education in the formation of research-oriented professionals, committed leaders, and dynamic Christian citizens imbued with Perpetualite values.
