Company Profile

The University of Southern Philippines Foundation was founded by men and women who felt the need of establishing a private, non – sectarian educational institution that would offer relatively high standards of instruction within the reach of the average man in the community. These men and women were: Agustin Jereza, a Civil Engineer from the State University of Iowa; Virgilio Gonzales, a doctor of medicine from the University of the Philippines; Miguel Sanson, a practicing attorney; Mrs. Natividad Villa – Albino, a school teacher; Felipe Ouano, Fructouso Ramos, and Hipolito Andrada, businessmen; and Dr. Jose Mirasol, a chemist and a former dean of the Cebu Junior College, then the Cebu branch of the University of the Philippines. Dr. Mirasol served as the first director of the school. The University of Southern Philippines Foundation was first called Southern Institute at the time it was founded in 1927. In 1959, the stockholders agreed to dissolve the original stock corporation and converted USP into a non-stock, non-profit foundation. In May 28, 1959, it was officially registered with SEC as foundation. Envisioning the eventual congestion at the Mabini Campus and noting the trend of dispersal among educational institution to the suburbs, the founder, in 1962, established the USP Lahug Campus which located in Salinas Drive. The Lahug Campus is now the main campus of the university. For 60 years as a university and 82 years as an academic institution, the University of Southern Philippines Foundation has served the nation by producing professionals in different fields of specialization thereby making USPF true to its commitment.
