History
The establishment of a college/university started with a dream and determination of the leadership of the then Municipality and now City of Muntinlupa.
In spite of the tremendous financial odds, the leaders prevailed to find strength, inspired by the Divine Providence, in the pursuit of embarking into a difficult task of establishing an institution of higher learning.
On May 29, 1991, the Municipal Council of Muntinlupa passed the Resolution No. 91-191 and Resolution No. 91-192 officially creating a government-run college, which gave rise to the MPC (Muntinlupa Polytechnic College). Housed in one of the high school building (Pedro E. Diaz High School) in Alabang, Muntinlupa, the operation of the college started with 309 students.
The courses offered were: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Commerce, Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, Bachelor of Elementary Education, Bachelor of Secondary Education, Bachelor of Science in Criminology and the two-year courses in Computer Science, Secretarial Science and Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology.
With the ever-increasing number of enrollees, MPC moved to another temporary location at the Second Floor of the Contessa Building, Poblacion, Muntinlupa City, where all offices and classrooms were air-conditioned. It was at this time that MPC established linkages with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED-NCR) for the development of quality education.
Emboldened by the fast-growing student population and with the continuing challenge of Muntinlupa, already a City in 1995, the need expansion for bigger campus and for better facilities, the pursuit of a permanent site has to be reckoned with by the leadership of the City Government.
Finally, on March 1998, MPC realized its long cherished dream of moving from the compact Contessa Building to its own permanent two-storey building, which was erected at the Muntinlupa National High School Compound within the NBP Reservation Area.
MPC as a city-supported institution is committed to the pursuit of excellence in the field of education. In School-Year 2001-2002, the construction of the Academic Building was completed with the Third and Fourth Floors that houses the Library, Auditorium and additional classrooms.
With the progress and growth of the College, the MPC went through another greater challenge when it was converted into a local university in March 2003 by virtue of City Ordinance No. 03-089, which gave rise to the PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MUNTINLUPA.
The foundational philosophy of the establishing the university is the declared policy of the 1987 Constitution for the State to give priority to education, science and technology, arts and culture. Moreover, for the State to protect, foster and promote the right of all citizens to affordable quality education at the tertiary level and shall promote its exercise and observance of continuing intellectual growth, advancement of learning and research, development of responsible and effective leadership, education of high-level and middle-level professionals, and enrichment of our historical and cultural heritage.
Indeed, the challenge of the university is enormous and it also demands more responsibility and commitment by the administration to meet the greatest challenge of providing quality education to the youth and to attain a world-class caliber of an institution of higher learning.
PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy of education is anchored on the premise of “learning and living.” Thus, the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa (PLMun) is committed to provide quality education for the empowerment of students in the pursuit of high-level performance in their chosen profession through the University’s four-fold functions of instruction, research, extension and production.
Since the PLMun was conceived and organized to provide quality service for education that is responsive in meeting the goals and demands of the growing City of Muntinlupa, it has the commitment to offer quality and relevant instructional programs, which seeks to prepare students with expertise in facing the realities of the world and make them sensitive to the needs of the community.
As a learning institution, PLMun believes that the measure of the human person is determined by the totality of the human nature in adjusting into the social environment. Moreover, PLMun believes that the strength of a nation is greater than the collective well being of its people and its vigor cannot be stronger than the vitality and will of its citizenry. The mental, moral and spiritual fitness of the students is PLMun’s constant concern, to make significant contributions in the molding of the Filipino youth.
As a whole, PLMun adheres to the foundational belief and values of humanity, society and education that:
