[edit] History

Through the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Manila Mayor, the Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary, the PLM President, and the Superintendent of Division of City Schools-Manila, three existing public schools were utilized to house the students and facilities of PLM District Colleges. These schools are Antonio Villegas Technical School in Tondo (District I), Ramon Avanceña High School in Quiapo (District III), and Celedonio Salvador Elementary School in Paco (District V).

Another MOA was signed with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to provide partnership with the city government through the PLM Education System.

On May 31, 2002, the Department of Social Welfare of Manila, conducted the Integrated Early Childhood Care and Development (IECCD). It was the first academic course conducted in the District Colleges through the auspices of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
