History
Wesleyan University - Philippines was opened in 1946 by a group of Methodist laymen led by Carlos Mañacop, Sr. as a response to the Novo Ecijanos' difficulty in sending their children to schools in Metro Manila. Plans for the creation of a Christian institution of higher learning in Cabanatuan City was then set forth, and on July 1 the group officially established a school, called the Philippine Wesleyan College (PWC) in honor of the founder of Methodism, in a building made up of bamboo fronds that housed a first batch of 368 Liberal Arts and Teacher Education enrolees taught by a 19-member faculty. The PWC was incorporated on April 28, 1948.

“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
