public university
The University of Makati (Filipino: Unibersidad ng Makati or Pamantasan ng Makati), commonly referred to as UMak (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈjumak]), is a public, local city university located in West Rembo, Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. It operates under the tutelage of the City Government of Makati as its parent organization.
The university was founded in 1972 by the Makati municipal government as the Makati Polytechnic Community College by virtue of Municipal Resolution No. 242 Ordinance No. 64. Subsequently, Executive Order No. 03-87 series of 1987 was passed renaming the same to Makati College. In 1991, Fort Andres Bonifacio College was ceded to then municipal government of Makati which merged with Makati College. Resolution No. 242 changed the name of the college to Pamantasan ng Makati (PnM) and paved the way for the college to be elevated as a chartered university fully owned by the local government.
