University of Northeastern Philippines
History
The University of Northeastern Philippines was established in 1948, in the then Municipality of Iriga. It was founded by a young couple named Felix Sr. and Remedios Alfelor as small school and was first located in a rented property in the town center. Mabini Memorial School, as it was named in the beginning, offered complete high school and degree courses in Education and Liberal Arts.
The school, in a few years, outgrew its space located downtown. The school then bought 17 hectares of land, a former dumpsite, near the town center. It then transferred into the new site and developed the campus, completing it in the early 1960s. It then was renamed Mabini College. Additional degrees were offered and school population even grew more rapidly with the diversified campus offerings.
In 1974, the school received its university charter and was finally named the University of Northeastern Philippines.[1] Four years later, the College of Law opened. It is the only law school in Iriga. UNEP is considered one of the oldest universities in the Bicol Region,[2] and is also one of the only two universities in Iriga (the other is the University of Saint Anthony).
