About the Institution
Perhaps in no other constituent university of the UP System is the history of UP more closely bound than inUP Manila, being its birthplace in June 1908 at the Ermita-Padre Faura campus. On this day, UP was established by Act 1870 of the Philippine Legislature to provide advanced instruction in literature, philosophy, science and arts and give professional and technical training to every qualified student. The current 10-hectare campus where UP Manila now stands was where the university spent its pioneering and formative years during the American colonial period. One of the first colleges that comprised the University was the College of Medicine (CM), which was enacted in 1905 as the Philippine Medical School. With UP's birth in 1908, the School was renamed College of Medicine and Surgery and included as one of the colleges. With the creation of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on January 26, 1996 to promote the conduct of health research and lead in the utilization of its research findings, the IO, ISBMR and IBMB were made its initial components. A few years after, several other component institutes were created, such as the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Institute of Child Health and Development, Institute of Human Genetics, Institute of Health Policy and Development Studies, and Ear Institute.
