EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pioneering Years
On June 27, 1985 at Santa Isabel Building in Balibago, Angeles City, -ve incorporators opened Systems
Plus, Inc. (SPI). The organization’s primary purpose was to conduct seminars for those who were
planning to enter the electronic data processing as programmers, encoders and systems analyst.
On July 7, 1985, it started tutorial programs for students and professionals. The same date also served as
the school’s foundation day.
Systems Plus, Inc. a4racted more enrollees. In June 1987, it o5ered associate courses and later on,
bachelor’s degree and graduate degree programs.
The growth of the school was outstanding. The year 1989 marked the opening of two campuses in
Cubao, Quezon City and in Miranda, Angeles City.
Surviving the Adversities
In school year 1990-1991, the enrollment figure went up to 1,215 but was greatly reduced to almost 50%
in the next school year because of the eruption of Mount Pinatubo on June 16, 1991. In the same
month, the United States Air Force departed from Clark Airbase. These two events negatively a5ected
the economic situation in Angeles City.
In June 1994, in preparation for a four–level educational institution, the name of the school was changed
from Systems Plus Computer Institute, Inc. to Systems Plus Computer College (SPCC). As a result, SPCC
became a complete educational institution consisting of the Pre-Elementary, Elementary, Secondary and
Tertiary levels.
By the year 1995, the economic and social situations in Angeles City had improved. The enrollment at
SPCC slowly increased. The Elementary and the High School Buildings were built.
Forging Ahead
On June 9, 1997, SPCC opened another campus in Caloocan City, Metro Manila. The SPCC in Caloocan
City o5ers Basic Education.
A few years later, another campus in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga was opened to accommodate
the fast growing student population.
