The school started with 384 students and 11 faculty members, holding evening classes at the Pasay City West High School. Felimon Salas and his staff at the guidance research center composed the working group for the university. Amor Peñalosa and Estela Portugal paved the way toward the recognition of the university as an institution of higher learning leading to the approval of programs by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
