PUP still rising to the excellence!

109 years of years excellence! Viva PUPians!

I'm a proud PUPian, thanking the university for providing students like me high quality education that doesn't involve high quantity budget.

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) is a coeducational, research state university located in Manila, Philippines. It was founded on October 19, 1904, as the Manila Business School, then the city's business school. The university operates on three campuses located throughout Manila. Furthermore, the university has 21 satellite campuses located throughout Luzon. PUP is the largest university of the Philippines in terms of student population with 61,253 enrollees. The university is also notable for charging the lowest tuition among all universities in the Philippines at 12 pesos (US$0.29) per academic unit, a rate that has unchanged since 1979.

Here are the lyrics of the PUP Hymn thanks to: http://buhayteresa.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/pamatay-na-imno-ng-pup/

I.

Sintang Paaralan

Tanglaw ka ng bayan

Pandayan ng isip ng kabataan

Kami ay dumating nang salat sa yaman

Hanap na dunong ay iyong alay

II.

Ang layunin mong makatao

Dinarangal ang Pilipino

Ang iyong aral, diwa, adhikang taglay

PUP, aming gabay

Paaralang dakila

PUP, pinagpala

III.

Gagamitin ang karunungan

Mula sa iyo, para sa bayan

Ang iyong aral, diwa, adhikang taglay

PUP, aming gabay

Paaralang dakila

PUP, pinagpala
