About the Institution
The University of Batangas traces its history as a small school then named Western Philippine Colleges which started with 48 students in a small rented house in Rizal Avenue, Batangas City more than half a century ago on April 28, 1946. It was founded by Mr. Juan Y. Javier together with Rev. Fr. Vicente Catapang, Atty. Francisco Perez, Atty. Jesus Arguelles, Atty Roman Perez and Atty. Pablo Umali. This noble group of men saw the need to put up an institution that would provide the youth, particularly the residents of Batangas, an opportunity to pursue higher education. Through their pioneering efforts and the inspiration they left as a legacy for succeeding administrators, the school has grown steadily to become one of the largest higher education institutions in the whole Southern Tagalog Region, a major University offering a wide range of academic and professional programs to a diverse student body of over 10,000. Throughout that time, the commitment of the University of Batangas to academic excellence and community service has continued to reflect the values and vision of the University
