8. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MUNTINLUPA (PLMUN)

8.1 The establishment of a local university in the Municipality started as a dream of former Mayor Ignacio
“Toting” Bunye who viewed education a potent tool for transforming society for the better. Upon his assumption to office in 1986,
he included the objective of organizing and establishing an institution of higher learning in the Ten Point Agenda of his
administration.
8.2 During his term as Councilor and Chairman of the Committee on Education, Rufino B. Joaquin sponsored the
move to organize and establish the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College (MPC). On May 29, 1991 the
Municipal Council of Muntinlupa passed Resolution No. 91-191 and Resolution No. 91-192 officially creating a
 government run college – the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College (MPC).
8.3 Muntinlupa Polytechnic College (MPC) started with 309 students while using one of the high school buildings of the Pedro E.
Diaz High School in Alabang, Muntinlupa City. As its enrollment of students increased, the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College
(MPC) was relocated to the second floor of the Contessa Bulding in Barangay Poblacion, Muntinlupa City where all of its offices
and classrooms were air- conditioned.
8.4 Courses offered then at the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College (MPC) were as follows: Bachelor of Arts in Psychology,
Bachelor of Science in Commerce, Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, Bachelor of Elementary Education, Bachelor of
Secondary Education, Bachelor of Science in Criminology, Bachelor of Science in Information Technology,
and two-year courses in Computer Science and Secretarial Science.
8.5 Imbued with the desire to be in close coordination with the National Government in providing higher education, the Muntinlupa
Polytechnic College (MPC) established a linkage with the Commission of Higher Education (CHED-NCR).
8.6 The rapid growth of the student population at the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College (MPC) ushered in the need for more changes.
8.7 In 1995, due to the high educational standards and numerous courses it offered, the number of students increased. This
prompted a need for more space and facilities. This served as a challenge to Muntinlupa which by then in 1995 had just been
elevated to the status of a City.
8.8 In response to the challenge, in March 1998, the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College (MPC) moved out of the Contessa Building to
its new building in a bigger campus with better facilities. The City Government had a two-storey building constructed and
completed alongside the Muntinlupa National High School, in a two hectare site in the NBP Reservation Compound, Poblacion,
Muntinlupa City.
8.9 Upon his assumption of office in 1998, Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi had education as a priority in the Eight Point Program of his
Administration. Tertiary Education was extended to everyone, especially, to the marginalized sector. In 2002, the Main Building
was completed to house the library and Auditorium and to provide additional classrooms in its third and fourth floors. The new
Main Building further enhanced the ability of the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College to produce highly educated young residents
who would eventually contribute to the development of themselves, their loved ones and the City of Muntinlupa.
THE CONVERSION OF THE MUNTINLUPA POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE (MPC) TO A
LOCAL UNIVERSITY
9.1 Former Dean Enrico Vibar led the movement to convert the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College into a local university. Atty. Raul R.
Corro, then Councilor and Chairman of the Committee on Education, during the 67th session, sponsored City Ordinance No.
03-089 converting the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College to Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa (PLMun) in March, 2003.
9.2 The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa has three buildings: the Main Building, the Annex Building and the Administration
Building.
9.3 The PLMun has attained accreditation from ALCUCOA (Association of Local Colleges and Universities Commission on
Accreditation) for the following curriculum programs:.
9.3.1 In 2014,
9.3.1.1 Bachelor of Science in Criminology - Level III
9.3.1.2 Bachelor of Science in Psychology - Level II
9.3.1.3 Bachelor of Science in Business Administration - Level II

9.3.2.3 Bachelor of Arts in Political Science - Candidate Status
9.3.2.4 Bachelor of Arts in Communication - Candidate Status
9.3.2.5 Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Candidate Status
9.4 As Education Mayor, during his term ( 1997—2006), Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi and the City Council approved the Iskolar ng
Bayan Ordinance No. 98-008.Seeing the need to sustain empowerment among young Muntinlupenos, the 7th Sangguniang
Panglungsod passed a resolution to increase student financial assistance, hence Honorable Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi, passed a
decree on October 13, 2013, creating Ordinance No.13-010 which provided for even more incentives for scholars.
9.5 The Board of Regents and management are continuously making sure that the PLMun and its faculty provide quality and relevant
education that would produce graduates who are creative, productive, socially
responsible and locally and globally competitive.
10. THE PLMUN SEAL

10.2 The University Seal of the PLMun is the most visible identification mark of the University. Patterned after the official Seal of the

Premiere Emerald City of the 21st Century.

effects on all areas affected by its radiance. Like education, the University views its significance in the process of nation building.

48. 1 All students shall memorize all the songs mentioned below, for they do not just embody the ideals and the tradition of
Muntinlupeños but also create strong Filipino nationalism and pride which distinguishes a PLMuñan from the rest of the
students in this country, the region and the world.

48.1.1 LUPANG HINIRANG

Bayang Magiliw, perlas ng silanganan
Alab ng puso sa dibdib mo’y buhay
Lupang hinirang duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig ‘di ka pasisiil
Sa dagat at bundok sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal
Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw niya kailan pa may ‘di magdidillim
Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati’t pagsinta
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo
Aming ligaya na ‘pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay ng dahil sa’yo.
 48.1.2 PANUNUMPA SA WATAWAT NG PILIPINAS
Ako ay Pilipino
Buong katapatang nanunumpa
Sa watawat ng Pilipinas at sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag
Na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan
Na pinakikilos ng sambayanang
Maka Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa

48.1.3 MUNTINLUPA MARCH

(Renato “Atong Balatong” Dilig)
Muntinlupa ang bayan kong mahal
Dakilang bayang makasaysayan

Chorus I:
Muntinlupa, Muntinlupa
Muntinlupang minumutya

Pagkat ito’y handog ng Maykapal

Muntinlupa, Muntinlupa
Bayan kong pinagpala
Sa puso ko at sa diwa

48.1.4 PLMUN HYMN

(Prof. Felicidad M. Perez)
Ilaw kang tanglaw namin
Mga puso’t damdamin
PLMUN ikaw parin
Tangkilikin walang maliw

Koro
PLMUN ay mahal namin (2x)
Ikaw lamang ang pag-asa
Sinusunod, iginagalang habang buhay

PLMUN ay mahal namin (2x)

Paaralang may karangalan
Haligi ng kabataan

Kapit bisig na tayo

Tungo sa pagbabago
Mga magulang umaasa
Lahat ay magtagumpay
(Repeat Chorus)
