Welcome to the Pamantasan -- where the brightest scholars from the financially-strapped spectrum of the society are educated and steeped in golden values to become "pantas" or "men of enlightenment and wisdom."
PLM is a pioneer, a leader, and a model institution of higher learning in the Philippines.
PLM is acknowledged as the premier scholars' university of the capital city of the Philippines whose academic excellence the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) recognizes as "beyond reproach and a class by itself."
To the graduates of Bachelor in Public Administration, SY 2009-2010, our warmest felicitations and congratulations.
The off-campus program of PLM for government employees is effectively a big boost to the morale of public servants, now faced with new challenges and certain anxieties of a fast-paced changing world. More than ever, one needs all the strength, inspiration and encouragement to strive and forge ahead.
Happily, having attained the education relevant to serving the public, you are now rightly equipped to buckle down to greater responsibilities. However, to complement your honed talent or ability, you would do well to focus next on your ethical demeanor and integrity.
We therefore sincerely express our very best wishes to each graduate for a fruitful career and successful life. Mabuhay!

As then-PLM President, Adel Tamano was in-charge of translating into reality the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the scholars who hail from the financially-strapped spectrum of the society. It is but fitting that the youth of Manila come to PLM to fulfill the Filipino dream.

The PLMAT is a 3-hour examination consisting of sub-tests on language proficiency, reading comprehension, mathematics, science, and reasoning, written in English and Filipino. Processing usually starts in November, and administered in December and January.
An applicant's score is weighted against a standardized PLMAT score. If the score satisfies the suggested cut-off score, the examinee successfully qualifies for enrollment.
The range of cut-off scores approximates the applicants' expected performance in the University. Examinees who successfully achieve a score that is equal to or better than the standardized cut-off score are expected to exude the capacity to hurdle the rigors of an excellent yet exacting university scholarship at PLM.
