CALOOCAN City’s educational landscape has experienced a powerful transformation, largely thanks to the leadership of Mayor Dale “Along” Malapitan and his father, 1st District Representative Oscar “Oca” Malapitan.
One of their most groundbreaking initiatives was the establishment of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines branch in Caloocan — a project that began with a bill authored by Mayor Along during his time as a congressman.
With the guidance and support of his father, who was mayor at the time, this vision for higher education began to take shape and now, the city is on the verge of hosting one of the country’s most prestigious universities.
The PUP Caloocan campus is more than just a new educational institution – it is a symbol of the Malapitan family’s commitment to transforming the city’s future.
PUP is renowned for its high academic standards and its ability to produce graduates who are globally competitive.
By bringing PUP to Caloocan, the Malapitans have made world-class education accessible to thousands of local students who would otherwise have to travel far to gain such opportunities.
This development will not only uplift the city’s educational standing but also provide a strong foundation for future generations.
Under the leadership of the Malapitans, Caloocan has evolved from a city with limited access to higher education to one with growing educational institutions, including the University of Caloocan City.
The arrival of PUP is a game-changer, further solidifying the city’s position as an educational hub in Metro Manila.
Caloocan’s educational progress is a direct result of the Malapitan family’s foresight and dedication. With the construction of PUP’s Caloocan campus, the city has taken a monumental leap forward.
The legacy of the Malapitans will continue to empower generations of students, proving that when leaders prioritize education, they build a brighter, more prosperous future for their people.
