History

The Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas traces its beginning when Mayor

Eduardo B. Dimacuha issued Executive Order No. 26 dated August 20, 2005
creating the Committee for the establishment of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng
Batangas that will provide quality but affordable education more particularly to
the talented but poor student populace.
