    Brief History of the University Of Batangas

    I. Introduction

    The years after the Second World War were known historically as the period
    of recovery from the ravages of war; the years for reconstruction and rehabilitation of
    the remnants of the devastating war; and a time for renewed commitment to
    education. It was not a pleasant afternoon in early 1946 at the Javier Printing Press
    for two gentlemen, Mr Juan Y. Javier and Atty. Jesus Lorenzo A. Arguelles. They
    had a common gripe against a school owner who failed to pay the cost of the printing
    of instructional materials and the failure of Atty. Arguelles to collect his salary as a
    college teacher at the academic institution of the said school owner. By providence,
    the two men decided to open a school. Their decision of establishing an academic
    institution could have been due to their grievance against a school owner.

    II. Body/ Description

    But such gripe developed into a desire to open a school for the purpose of
    catering to the educational needs of the Batangueños, who could not afford the high
    cost of education in Manila. In order to realize their plan, they invited prominent
    people who would provide them with the necessary resources for the project. They
    knew that they needed people with vision, integrity, dedication, credibility, courage,
    perseverance, and leadership and who have a very high regard to education. Hence,
    they invited Rev. Fr. Vicente R. Catapang, a noted educator from Taal; Atty.
    Francisco G. Perez, a senior board member of the Province of Batangas; Mayor
    Roman L. Perez of Batangas; and Atty. Pablo C. Umali of Lipa to pool their
    resources to create a possibility to establish an educational institution. Together,
    they laid the plans for the founding of the Western Philippine Colleges.
