The story of Emilio Aguinaldo College begins with a man who envisions the Filipino youth to be
totally educated and trained through arts, sciences and technology. That man, Dr. Paulo C.
Campos, one of the very few Filipino National Scientists noted for his work on nuclear medicine,
has been recognized and awarded for his numerous researches and publications. He is also
credited for establishing the first and best known Radioisotope Laboratory in the Philippines, the
first Research Laboratory in the Department of Medicine, University of the Philippines and the
Thyroid Clinic of the UP-PGH Medical Center.
It was in 1957 when the Marian School of Midwifery, the forerunner of Emilio Aguinaldo College,
was established under the management of Marian Clinics, Inc. Two years after Dr. Crisanto S. Vito
Cruz and Gregorio T. Delgado together with Mrs. Lolita R. Vito Cruz established the first Medical
Secretarial School in the Philippines, the founding of the Marian School of Nursing and Midwifery
immediately followed. In 1973, the University Physicians’ Services Incorporated (UPSI) took over
the school management. From Marian School of Nursing and Midwifery, its name was changed to
Marian Junior College. Its level was elevated to full-fledged College with new courses being offered
such as Food Service and Technology and the Dietetic Internship Program. After a year, Medical
Arts and Photography (innovative academic program) and the four-year Bachelor of Science in
Secretarial Administration earned government recognition. College of Arts and Sciences was
added to the list of colleges in 1976, offering Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs.
Both Bachelor of Science in Nursing and BSN Supplemental Course were also given government
recognition, thus, establishing the College of Nursing. Marian College began building the first
school units at Dasmariñas, Cavite in 1977 to support the government’s policy on dispersal and
decongestion of student population in Metro Manila particularly in institutions of higher learning.
The policy also aimed to introduce regional development and the democratization of opportunities
in the rural areas. In September 1977, the name Marian College was changed to General Emilio
Aguinaldo College, to apply to both Manila and Cavite campuses. This was in consonance with the
new direction of the government in recognizing and honoring national heroes. Eventually, the title
“General” was dropped. All courses offered in Manila were given permit to be offered in Cavite,
with the addition of BS Criminology, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Arts in Education and
Master of Science in Nursing. EAC Manila offered BSN Supplemental for graduates in Nursing
(GN), who wanted to pursue Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and BS Foods and Nutrition and
Industrial Cafeteria Management. On the other hand, Cavite campus offered technical courses in
Agricultural Technology, Electrical and Electronics Technology and Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Technology. In October 21, 1979, EAC Foundation Inc. was established at
Dasmariñas, Cavite, thus giving birth to the Emilio Aguinaldo College of Medicine with Dr. Lourdes
E. Campos as Dean. In Manila, the College of Business Administration was given permit to
operate. In 1980, UPSI formed the Yaman Lahi Foundation, Inc. to manage and operate Manila
and Cavite campuses. Within the next five years, the focus was on curricular program
development, which paved way to more courses being given government recognition. The College
of Medicine and the University Medical Center of EAC Cavite was sold to De La Salle University,
now known as DLSU Dasmariñas. After that, the EAC administration focused on the development
of EAC- Manila.
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
The Emilio Aguinaldo College School of Medicine was founded and established by Dr. Paulo C.
Campos, a National Scientist in Nuclear Medicine. It was formally opened on July 23, 2001 with 24
enrollees. Dr. Salvador R. Salceda, an ophthalmologist, became the first Dean (2001-2003),
followed by a gastroenterologist, Dr. Esteban P. Pineda (2003-2010), and a surgical oncologist, Dr.
Conrado C. Cajucom (2010-2013). The fourth and present Dean is Dr. Asuncion L. Abaya-Morido,
a general surgeon and the former Hospital Director of Medical Center Manila, now known as the
Manila Med.
Our founder envisioned the School of Medicine to be an outstanding institution for medical
education and health research. As such, the School shall provide an education and scientific
environment that prepares the students to become professionally competent, socially-relevant and
compassionate physicians with a strong commitment to lifelong learning. It is also committed to
undertake relevant reforms on medical education in response to changing national and global
health needs and scenarios, as well as newly generated medical information.
The School of Medicine is staffed by dedicated, respected and competent academicians, as well
as clinicians who are well-known in their fields of specialty. It implements an outcome-based,
synchronized curriculum, with early clinical integration and emphasis on interactive learning
process. It also boasts of well-equipped classrooms, basic science and skills laboratories and a
library.
In the past, classrooms, laboratory facilities and offices were all confined at the 9th floor of Building
7, and Building 5. But due to the growing population of both medical students and faculty
members, expansion to the EAC Building 7, 10th floor became necessary.
The Manila Med, School of Medicine’s base teaching and training hospital, is a tertiary training
institution accredited by the Department of Health, an ISO9011: 2008 certified institution since
2011, and PhilHealth accredited Center of Excellence in 2010; a rare distinction among tertiary
private and government hospitals in the Philippines. It is competently manned by active and
visiting consultants, who are well-respected in their various fields of expertise and committed to
teaching both the students and resident trainees during bed-side rounds and conferences In
addition to this, the School of Medicine is also affiliated with other teaching and training hospitals
like University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital (UP – PGH), Ospital ng Maynila
Medical Center (OMMC), and the corporate-owned Emilio Aguinaldo College Medical Center –
Cavite, which is strategically located in Dasmariñas, Cavite and that is best suited for community
health-oriented programs. Community rotations in Pasay City, Metro Manila and selected
government units in Cavite, through the Department of Family and Community Medicine, are also
included to provide the students a better exposure and learning experience to caring for the
marginalized sectors of our society.

Philippine Medical Colleges Foundation, Inc. (APMCFI) and has been granted the Government
