Manila Central University had a very humble beginning. In 1903, on the request of several students from the University of Santo Tomas and other individuals, Dr. Alejandro Albert organized a private review class.

We develop individuals into well-rounded professionals with desirable personal traits through leadership in education, competent instruction, research, and the creation of centers of knowledge for their chosen fields of specialization, thereby enabling them to participate actively in community and national development for the love of country and dedication to public service.
