Logo and Symbols

The PUP Logo

The star in the logo stands for the perfection of the human person as well as the search

for truth, while the five concentric circles depict infinite wisdom.

Both the five-pointed star and the five concentric circles stand for quintessence,

meaning the highest form of quality or the most perfect example of creation. The two
arcs of laurel symbolize excellence and quality of education as demonstrated by the rich

achievements of the University in over a century of its existence.

The star is golden yellow not only because this is a stars natural color but also

because, together with the dark maroon used as background, it is the traditional color of

the University.

The five concentric circles are white because it symbolizes purity.

Standards

Here are the former logos of this institution:

Left to Right: Philippine School of Commerce (1908), Philippine College of Commerce

(1953), and Polytechnic University of the Philippines (1978).

The Mural

The sculpture (Cut and welded brass mural relief, 2.5 x 9.3 meters) was built by national

artist Eduardo Castrillo in 1974. The theme of the artwork is Consolidated Growth

through Education - the role of PUP in the educational development of the youth in

preparation for their involvement in nation building. The mural illustrates the social,

economic, industrial, technological, and cultural aspect of life with which man blends

himself to develop an environment necessary to the progress of the nation.

The mural is located at the main gate of the University Mabini Campus. The brass

sculpture depicts the purposeful growth of the Filipino youth. It also signifies the role

and responsibility of the youth in the progress and development of the nation, which the

University recognizes. As an institution dutifully concerned in shaping the lives of the

youth, the University pays tribute to the hope and builder of the world tomorrow through

this artistic interpretation.

The Pylon

The Pylon originally stood for the true, the good and the beautiful.

The Triad of pillars may also stand for wisdom, strength and beauty because there

should be wisdom to contrive, strength to support and beauty to adorn any great or

important undertaking.

Since 1987, however, the Pylon came to symbolized truth, excellence and wisdom.
The Obelisk

The Obelisk, standing majestic on its base, depicts the strength of the Polytechnic

University of the Philippines as an institution of higher learning, promoting educational

and moral aims which are fortified by a determined leadership with a clear vision for the

Filipino youth and an efficient support system inspired by the virtues of public service.

With a long-standing reputation as a vanguard of truth and social justice, PUP also pays

homage to the Great Conscience and Brain of the Philippine Revolution, Apolinario

Mabini who reflects everything the University upholds especially its mission of public

enlightenment.
On top is the University Star Logo , symbol of PUPs image as the Light of the Nation. It

stands for the perfection of the human person and the search for truth. Its five

concentric circles represent infinite wisdom and each point of the star signifies integrity,

ingenuity, industry, intelligence and internationalism the core values of PUP as a Total

University.

Dedicated to the future, the obelisk stands here and now as an emblem of strength and

greatness that only time can change.

The Transformation

This masterpiece is built by designer and architect Lor Calma in the year 2000. It

depicts the dynamic transformation of the University as it embraces the power of

Information and Communications Technology.

The sculpture is located at the main lobby of the Ninoy Aquino Learning Resources

Center, near the PUP ICT Center.

With the artwork is an inscription that says: "This sculpture is dedicated to the students,

faculty, academic and administrative personnel, and the management of the Polytechnic

University of the Philippines for their excellence, innovativeness, and unrelenting pursuit

of the highest ideals of academic standards in the field of Information and

Communication Technology under the leadership and inspiration of Dr. Ofelia M.

Carague."

The Centenary Insignia

The Centenary Logo is an emblem of a noble and glorious past, a living testimony to the

University populations adherence to the beautiful traits of loyalty, integrity, love of

peace, commitment to service, and undying love of and devotion to God - essential

attributes in the pursuit of academic excellence and progress in a span of one hundred

years (1904-2004).

Standing for the wheel of life is the circle which moves incessantly to give life to all

members of the academic community - the administrators, the professoriate, the non-

academic personnel, and the studentry - walking hand in hand, regardless of status in
life, looking forward to a resplendent life-giving future. As it is, the wheel of life

converges with Information and Communications Technology.

The laurel leaves inside the circle embody good health, peace, harmony, and prosperity

within the ambit of PUP and the global village where the inhabitants meet as they

communicate the same ideals, ideas, and aspirations.

Within the centenary logo is the PUP logo which speaks eloquently of PUPs vital role in

molding minds, enriching souls, and giving firmer grounds to stand on.

From the circle emanate three big arrows which stand for the rapid growth of high-tech

education in all levels. The University is now cited as the Center of Development in

different disciplines, especially Information and Communications Technology.

From the Philippine Flag spring red and blue bands - a symbol of the PUP communitys

respect for nationalism and Filipinism, strengthened by the PUPians role in nation-

building, courageous outlook, tenacity and contribution to economic progress.

The rising sun emerges through the yellow color imbibing the vision, mission, and goals

of PUP and its endless search for truth, excellence, quality, compassion, efficiency and

effectiveness as it tackles the functions of a University - instruction, research, extension,

and production.

Ten small arrows spring from the circle to herald the Universitys concern for people

from all walks of life, through the service and commitment in seven branches and three

campuses throughout the nation.

III. BACKGROUND OF NATIONAL COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND ARTS

HISTORY

In 1968, at the corner of R. Papa and Lepanto streets, between the two giants in

Philippine private education (University of the East with its mammoth population of
65,000 and Far Eastern University with its 47,000 enrollment), a small building was

erected to house a small school - National College of Business and Arts.

Its founder is the late Dr. Doroteo S. Pasion, a well-known educator (former Dean of

Commerce of San Beda College, former CPA Review director of the University of the

East, and former President of PSBA), lawyer, accountant, author and civic leader. Dr.

Pasion launched NCBA as a public service, together with four others who believed in

the NCBA concept : Col. Rafael Q. Yap-Diangco, Atty. Jose R. Torres, Jr., Mrs. Gloria C.

Meez, and Mrs. Lourdes L. Sarabia.

Keeping to its founder's vision, NCBA has opted to remain as a specialized school and

its growth measured and steady through the years. From that small edifice along R.

Papa St., NCBA slowly expanded its academic programs and facilities with the single

purpose of producing for the nation the type of educated manpower it needs for its

development and well being.

When NCBA opened in 1968, its offerings were limited to the following courses:

Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Arts, Two-Year course in

Secretarial Administration and its own CPA Review. Next, the NCBA High School was

opened in school year 1973-74 followed by its additional offerings of short terminal

courses in Cooperative, Salesmanship, Bookkeeping and Accounting, and Small

Business Management in school year 1974-75.

Today, more than 40 years after its founding, NCBA boasts of a complete package of

academic offerings - from preparatory school to an expanded tertiary education program

and graduate courses. Curricular offerings now include BS in Accountancy (BSA); BS in

Business Administration (BSBA) major in various fields such as Financial Management,

Human Resource Development Management, Marketing Management and Operations

Management; BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management (BSHRM); BS in Information

System (BSIS); BS in Computer Science (BSCS); Bachelor in Elementary Education

(BEED) and Bachelor in Secondary Education (BSE). The Graduate program offers

Master in Public Administration (MPA) and Master in Business Administration (MBA).

Since its founding, NCBA has endeavored continu ally to perpetuate its educational policy: to
offer and provide, both in facilities and teaching force, a complete education to young men and women

and equip them with the skills and trainings to become responsible citizens and future leaders of our

country.

VISION AND MISSION

Vision

The National College of Business and Arts shall be a premier school of business with its

academic programs accredited by 2022.

Mission

The National College of Business and Arts through its educational programs and

institutional activities shall produce God-loving, competent and globally competitive

graduates of business to contribute to the progress and development

of the nation.
