[edit] History

Dr. Antonio L. Tamayo developed the University creed "Character Building is Nation Building". Stressing this belief, he said "our young can only be assured of a better tomorrow by building the right kind of character today – respectful, hardworking and committed to the formation of a prosperous and a wealthy nation. This development, however, will need a requisite Christian character, that will build a nation."

Tamayo and his partner, Dra. Daisy M. Tamayo established the Perpetual University and Hospital simultaneously in Las Piñas, offering the banner course of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Paradoxically, Tamayo, a former college dropout, became the first President of the University.

The first school building consisting of four floors (the present hospital) was constructed in a period of only four months, which ordinarily takes one year to construct.

The University of Perpetual Help Rizal, now the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, is a subsidiary of the DALTA Group of Companies. It is in consortium with JONELTA Group of Companies forming the Perpetual Help System. Each entity under the System comprises a College/University and a Hospital/Medical Center.

The University of Perpetual Help System DALTA comprises three of the seven (7) academic institutions complementing the University of Perpetual Help System. The UPH System, now the UPH J0NELTA System, was founded and established by Dr. Jose G. Tamayo, its President and Chairman of the Board, with co-founder Dr. Josefina Laperal Tamayo, as its Vice-Chairman and Treasurer. With both co-founders now deceased, the University of Perpetual Help JONELTA System is now led by the first born of the founders, Dr. Antonio L. Tamayo.

The institution is coeducational and is non-sectarian. It offers studies in the preschool, elementary, secondary, tertiary, and graduate levels, as well as short vocational, technical, and special courses. To date, it has a workforce complement of about 1,200 faculty and nonteaching personnel and a student population of more than 18,000.

In subsequent years, the UPHSD established 2 branches or campuses, as well as several agri-businesses which later incorporated into the DALTA Group.

The three units of DALTA Group are:

University of Perpetual Help System DALTA and the UPHSD Medical Center (Pamplona, Las Piñas City)
University of Perpetual Help System DALTA (Molino, Cavite)
University of Perpetual Help System DALTA (Calamba, Laguna)

When Dr. Antonio L. Tamayo, assumed the Presidency of the University of Perpetual Help JONELTA System due to the demise of its founder Dr. Jose G. Tamayo, he became the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of both the UPH System DALTA and UPH JONELTA System. Thus the helm of leadership of the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA is now transferred to his wife, Dr. Daisy Moran Tamayo as Second President on June 10, 2003.

Col. Jose C. Moran facilitated the needed funds of the project through his friends and the Development Bank of the Philippines.

The University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, Molino Campus, was established and inaugurated on May 1995 with an initial enrollment of 700 students. Shortly, after a year, the University of Perpetual Help DALTA System, Calamba Campus, was established and inaugurated in 1996 with an initial enrollment of 360 enrollees.

The University of Perpetual Help System DALTA has since subscribed to the institutional philosophy that national development and transformation is predicated upon the quality of education of its people. It is committed to the ideals of teaching, community service, and research, with "Character Building is Nation Building" as its guiding principle.

In 2000, the UPHR College of Law ranked 3rd among law schools in terms of bar passing rate.

UPHSD now enjoys memberships, recognition and accreditation in various academic, professional, and sports associations such as:

FAAP (Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines) – granting Level II to the UPHSD Liberal Arts, Commerce and Education and Engineering, Medical Technology and Hotel and Restaurant Management Programs
Member, PACU (Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities)
Member, NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines)) - The varsity teams are the UPHSD Altas
Member, Board of Directors, PAGE (Philippine Association of Graduate Education)
ISO 9001:1994, Maritime Programs

DALTA comes from Daisy Antonio Laperal Tamayo.
