https://www.ue.edu.ph/mla/cba-mla-contact-details-admin-and-staff/ Founded as the mother unit of the University of the East, the UE College of Business Administration-Manila started as a CPA review school in September 1946

The review school later became the Philippine College of Commerce and Business Administration (PCCBA) in the summer of 1947. In 1963 the College was renamed as the UE College of Business Administration. The UE College of Business Administration (CBA) has had a line of distinguished men and women at its helm. De La Cruz, the first Dean of the College (1947-1971) pushed for excellent performance at the CPA board examination. As a result, UE graduates garnered the 1st to 20th places in the CPA board examinations within his years as dean. Dean Sotero Lopez continued the programs of Dr. Dela Cruz. Upon the retirement of Dean Lopez in 1974, Dr. Isidro D. Cariño took over the helm of the College. In 1976, he introduced the BSBA Special Degree Program (BBM Program for Executives without a College Degree). Professor Jesus Casino succeeded Dr. Cariño in 1977. Jose Papa, OIC Prof. Carmen Lim, Dr. Feliciano Roque Jr. and Vice President for Finance and Dean Erlinda Pefianco successively continued, like their predecessors did, the main goal of the College: of training the youth to be competent in the field of business. In 1990, Dean Pefianco implemented the College’s Bachelor of Science in Accountancy program. To ensure better operation and supervision of the College, the office of the Associate Dean was split into two, with Prof. Ester F. Ledesma designated as Associate Dean for Accountancy and Dr. Mercedes J. Manaois as Associate Dean for Business. The College was then granted the Level I Accredited Status by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities-Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA). In 1990, upon Dean Pefianco’s appointment as Undersecretary of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports, Dr. Mercedes J. Manaois assumed the deanship of the College.

UE Brings Health, Nutrition, and Joy to Calayo, Batangas

Children and families in Calayo, Batangas received medical, dental, and nutrition support during a community outreach activity conducted by the University of the East in partnership with the Rotary Club of Empowered Leaders.

The program formed part of the celebration of Children’s Day and Nutrition Month. Young participants took part in a costume presentation and mini fashion show, giving them an opportunity to enjoy the day, express themselves, and share their creativity with the community.

Medical and dental professionals also provided free services to residents. These services made basic healthcare more accessible to children and families in the area.

The activity marked the completion of UE’s 120-Day Milk-Giving Project, which provided regular milk support to selected children for four months. The project was led by CBA Dean Dr. Rosalinda Lacerona, Department Chair Christian Agub, and the CBA-SOCI Chairman, with the guidance of OECO Director Dr. Roger Espiritu.

The University expresses its appreciation to Hon. Arnold Limeta and Ma’am Filipinas Ballesteros for welcoming the UE delegation. We also thank Rotary Club of Empowered Leaders President Migs Bermido, Madam PDG Mildred Vitangcol, the healthcare teams, volunteers, faculty members, and community partners who helped carry out the program.

Although heavy rain accompanied the activity, the program continued as planned. The children’s participation and enthusiasm gave the volunteers more than enough reason to keep serving.

Through partnerships such as this, UE continues to bring its academic community closer to communities that can benefit from sustained health, nutrition, and educational initiatives.

To God be the glory!
