Inspired by Dr. Jose G. Tamayo and his wife, Dr. Josefina Laperal Tamayo’s
commitment and belief in the betterment of life through national development
and transformation, Dr./BGen. Antonio Laperal Tamayo and Dr. Daisy Moran
Tamayo founded the Perpetual Help College of Rizal (PHCR) on February 5, 1975.
The four-story school building was established along Alabang-Zapote Road, Las
Piñas City and it catered to 185 students in the first two academic programs
offered by the College – the Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the Secondary
Course. The school expanded its reach when it established two (2) branches in
1995 and in 1996, the Molino and Calamba campuses respectively. The Molino
Campus started its operations with an initial enrolment of 700 students while the
Calamba Campus opened with 367 enrollees. From these small beginnings, the
school began to expand in terms of curricular programs, faculty, research,
community service, infrastructure, and professional development. Finally in
1997, PHCR recorded a milestone when it received its university status from the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
On May 18, 2017, CHED through the Chairman, Dr. Patricia Licuanan conferred
upon the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Las Piñas Campus the
Autonomous Status. This recognition was received by UPHSD President Anthony
Moran Tamayo during the awarding ceremony for higher education institutions
and quality assurance partners in celebration of the 23rd founding anniversary of
CHED.
Today, UPHSD is continuing its efforts to achieve its objective of maintaining

and sustaining excellence in education. It has instituted an extensive network of
national and international linkages in higher education and business.
The University of Perpetual Help System DALTA continuously subscribes 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.

The School Seal
The school’s official name is University of Perpetual Help

System DALTA (UPHSD).
The seal was inspired by the special devotion of Dr. Josefina L. Tamayo, UPH co-
founder and Tamayo grand matriarch, to the Blessed mother especially to the
image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the school’s patroness. This well-known
icon from the Byzantine era depicts the figure of Mary offering love and comfort
to her son Jesus, even as the angelic beings above bear the instruments of His
coming suffering and passion. Mary looks straight at the viewer, as if she wants
to say that her perpetual help and comfort are also available to anyone who
comes to her in need. The infant Jesus is symbolic of the youth who is nurtured
by a devoted and loving Mary which speaks of the motherly care and love of the
University.
The two laurel leaves represent the two sons of the CEO and Chairman of the
Board who are actively continuing the work that their parents have started in the
community. The leaves also signify excellence which the university pursues not
only in academics but also in leadership and in human relations for the
fulfillment of the aspirations of the university as it carries on propagating its
mission – to mold and educate youth as Helpers of God.
The cameo is bordered by oval lines of maroon in white background. Maroon

symbolizes the red blood of courage, vigor, and determination; white for purity;
and the blue and gold colors of the Mother of Perpetual Help icon which
symbolize generosity, abundance, hope, and vision.
The year 1975 indicates when the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA
was established while the tagline “Character Building is Nation Building”-
UPHSD’s institutional motto expresses the encompassing commitment of
Perpetual Help education to national development and progress.
