ARTICLE I
HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY, VISION, MISSION, AND OBJECTIVES
Section 1. History
PLT College, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit and non-sectarian
educational corporation. Primarily, the Corporation was formed to be an
educational institution of higher learning, administered by its Board of Trustees.
The school started as PLT Computer and Technical Services on
September 1989. The founder and the first chairman of the Board of Trustees
was Engr. Purisimo L. Tiam, a visionary man and a computer enthusiast. Mrs.
Ma. Nonette O. Tiam, his very supportive wife became the first President.
Barely nine (9) months after, the school was granted by the
Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS) the permit to operate
and was named PLT Computer Technical School. Management Information
System Analysis and Design (MISAD) and Computer Operation Specialist
Course (COSC), two year-courses were the first program offerings, followed by
Software Development Course (SDC) on June 1991 and Computer Secretarial
Course (ECSC) on October 1991.
It was in 1991 when the school was granted the authority to operate
as a college by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The CHED
Technical Team was composed of Dr. Roger Perez, CHED Commissioner, Dr.
Liduvina Reyes, CHED Region 02 Director, Dr. Evelyn Pascua, Chief
Education Supervisor, Dr. Antonio Pascual, and Dr. Antonio Talamayan. On
October 1991, the college was duly registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) as PLT College, Inc. and was approved on
January 27, 1992.
Several programs were offered thereafter: Associate in Police
Science Course (APSC) from 1994 up to 1998, Bachelor of Science in
Computer Science (BSCS) in 1994, Bachelor of Science in Hotel and
Restaurant Management (BSHRM) in 1995, Bachelor of Science in
Criminology Criminology (BSCrim) in 1996; Bachelor of Science in Commerce
(BSC) in 1998, Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA) in 1999;
Bachelor in Secondary Education (BSED) and Bachelor in Elementary
Education (BEED) in 2000, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
(BSBA) in 2001, Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2003, Graduate in
Midwifery in 2005, Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology (BSRT),
Nursing Attendant and Caregiver Program in 2006.
In SY 2010-2011, the Board of Trustees, with the endorsement of the
President, approved the recommendation to offer the following degree
programs: Bachelor of Science in Biology (BSBio), Bachelor of Science in
Pharmacy (BSPharma), Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology (BSMT),
Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (BS Entrep), Bachelor of Science in
Midwifery (BSMid), Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management (BSTM),
Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with specialization in International
Relations (ABPolSci), and Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication
(ABComm). All these programs were granted Government Recognition in 2013.
The Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) and the Bachelor of
Science in Accounting Technology (BSAT) were granted Government
Recognition in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Due to low turn-out of enrollees,
the school requested for the freezing of the Bachelor of Science in Biology
(BSBio) in 2016 but was re-opened in 2017. The offering of Master of Science
in Criminology (MSCrim), Master of Science in Hotel and Restaurant
Management (MSHRM) and Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE)
are in working progress.
With the advent of the K-12 program, it was deemed necessary for
the school to offer basic education. In 2012, the Elementary Department
including the pre-school was opened. Consequently, Government Recognition
was granted to the pre-school in 2014 by the Department of Education
(DepEd). The Junior High School program was offered in 2013 and Senior High
School program followed suit in 2015 with the following tracks: (1) Academic
Track (Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) Strand, Humanities
and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand, Science, Technology Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) Strand, General (Education Strand); (2) Sports Track; (3)
Technical, Vocational, Livelihood (TVL) Track (Agri-Fishery Arts Strand, Home
