The History of the University of Eastern Philippines

The University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) has a rich history that dates back to its founding in 1918. UEP began as the Catarman Farm School (CFS) in September 1918. Located on a 516-hectare site of forested mountains and rice fields facing the Pacific Ocean, the school was established through the efforts of then Samar Governor Clodualdo Lucero, who sought the approval of the Provincial Board.
