The Iloilo Accord is an academic consortium between three Philippine universities: the Central Philippine University, Silliman University, and Trinity University of Asia.[1] Historically, these universities have regarded each other as sister schools having been founded by American Protestant missionaries belonging to three denominations: Baptists, Presbyterians, and the Episcopalians (the latter in local partnership with Aglipayans). Funded by the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA), its aims are laid out as follows:[2]
(1) to develop a working relationship among CPU, Silliman and Trinity College of Quezon City (now Trinity University Asia) in furtherance of the common interest of these institutions; (2) to forge a joint academic development program which is the priority of relationship among the three institutions; (3) to jointly endeavor to improve/upgrade their tertiary education through faculty development program; (4) to share/exchange of academic resources by the three institutions when found to be possible; (5) to research collaboration in areas of mutual interest to the three institutions; (6) to cooperate in the production and publication of textbooks and other instructional materials; (7) to strengthen the campus ministry program through joint training and exchange of chaplains and others involved in the program; (8) to improve the financial management and operation; (9) to utilize information technology to improve/upgrade the higher education program of the three institutions; (10) to strengthen outreach programs through exchange visits and joint outreach activities; (11) to sponsor joint seminars/ workshops and others academic meetings on matters of mutual interest; and (12) to pursue student exchange program among the three institutions.
