From an Epistemic Community Towards a National Polytechnic University of the Philippines
The stellar accomplishments of the PUP San Juan Branch is ably founded on the University's vision: first as an epistemic community towards a National Polytechnic University of the Philippines. In an effort to get there, the Program is also strongly supporting the mission and development agenda of the University Leadership. What started as an Eight-Point Development Plan under former University President Dr. Emanuel De Guzman was expanded and fortified by the 10 Pillar Reform Agenda of current President, Dr. Manuel Muhi.
The video below developed by the PUP Communication Management Office (CMO) briefly describes President Muhi's vision for the University.
