The Mapúa Institute of Technology, more widely known as Mapua, is an 80-year old technology-centered institution of higher education located in the heart of Manila. With approximately 15,000 students enrolled under its different programs, it is by far the biggest engineering school in the Philippines accounting for about 8% of the field’s graduates in the country every year. The Institute also runs a pre-engineering high school with roughly 1,800 students in the neighboring area of Pandacan. The name of the academe takes its origin from its founder, Don Tomas Mapúa, a graduate of Cornell University and indisputably one of the pillars of Philippine architecture. The Institute was fully owned by the Mapúa family from its conception until 1999 when it was acquired 100% by the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC) through a company now known as iPeople, Inc. At present, Ambassador Alfonso T. Yuchengco chairs the Mapúa Board of Trustees while Alfonso S. Yuchengco, III sits as Vice-Chairman.
