PLM Alumni Community

The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila Alumni Association, Inc. (PLMAAI) is a SEC-registered non-stock, non-profit organization of graduates from various academic units, colleges and batches of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM).

The PLMAAI is dedicated to bringing together the thousands of PLM alumni all over the world in order to form a unified, viable and empowered alumni community. As men and women graduates of PLM bound together in promoting the common good, the PLMAAI strives to be a proactive member of the PLM community and of the country, and play an active role in alumni affairs and in the PLM’s development.

The PLMAAI traces its roots in 1981 when a group of first batch graduates formed an association with the objective of promoting and serving the interest of its members and of the PLM. The organization however did not live up to its objectives, became inoperative until its franchise was revoked by the SEC in August 2003. On 16 October 2007, the PLMAAI was reorganized by a group of graduates from different batches and colleges and formed a transition, interim Board of Trustees of 15 members.

The members of the current Board of Trustees and officers of the PLMAAI are:
                       Jesus B. Triños, Jr.                President
                       Atty. Bernard S. Gregorio      Secretary
                       Josefina A. Velasco               Asst. Secretary
                       Lorna M. Orbe                      Treasurer
                       Dean Felix F. Aspiras            Asst. Treasurer
                       Remedios N. Gadia               Auditor
                       Graciano C. Bautista, Jr.       Trustee

Mr. Ceasar M. Apostol, first elected President, resigned from the Board of Trustees for health reasons and was succeeded by Mr. Jess B. Trinos, Jr. With the appointment of Atty. Adel Tamano as PLM President in August 2007, a new beginning in alumni-alma mater relationship emerged, as the then newly installed transformational President welcomed the alumni community back to PLM.

The PLMAAI, along with other alumni groups, undertook a program of re-engagement, re-established ties with the Alma Mater, and actively participated in a number of university activities, most notably in the series of relief operations and medical missions in October 2009 at the height of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.

The Batch ’68 Development Foundation, Inc. launched a Balik Eskwela program to help schoolchildren return to schools. On 22 December 2009, the alumni community from the USA and Canada conducted a medical mission to indigent families of Intramuros. A way to give back from grateful graduates.

The PLMAAI is committed to remain a strong partner in PLM’s development. A number of plans and programs are currently in the pipeline, designed to promote the interest and welfare of its members and of the Alma Mater.

With the alumni association in place, all PLM graduates get a sense of unity and identity after they leave the university. The PLMAAI's aims serve as a strong link between the Alma Mater and its community of graduates.
