AIESEC-AdMU's History

In 1967, the regional director of AIESEC in Asia, Tsueno Kenashi, came to the Philippines for a visit. His mission was to establish a national committee in the country, which failed due to the conflicting views with UNESCO. Meanwhile, Antonio Maria Cailao, a senior in the College of Business Administration in the University of the Philippines, decided to introduce AIESEC to the country. He found a way to attend an Asian AIESEC conference that year, and, together with his friend Eric de Guia, corresponded with AIESEC International.

In 1968, the Philippines became a probationary member during the International Congress in Istanbul, Turkey, with the University of the Philippines as its first local committee. In 1969, AIESEC Ateneo de Manila University was established. By the time AIESEC Philippines became a full member in 1970, it had Miriam College in its fold. Today, AIESEC Philippines is composed of the three aforementioned schools as well as Assumption College, Ateneo de Davao University, De La Salle University, St. Scholastica's College, Silliman University, University of Asia and the Pacific, University of the Philippines Cebu, University of San Agustin Iloilo, University of San Carlos and Xavier University.
