Under Senate Bill No. 2013, the new PUP Caloocan North Campus will be PUP’s 23rd branch and satellite campus in Luzon. This will also be the first state-sponsored University in Rainbow Village Deparo which aims to address the absence of state-run tertiary education institutions in Metro Manila North or Caloocan-Malabon-Navotas-Valenzuela (CAMANAVA) area to allow the learners to attend university and complete their education.

Muhi, Vice President for Branches and Satellite Campuses Prof. Pascualito B. Gatan, Vice President for Research, Extension and Development Dr. Anna Ruby P.

Michael-Angelo Atanis.
In his Facebook post, Caloocan City Mayor Malapitan expressed his gratitude to PUP and highlighted the importance of the construction of the new campus in the City.
“Alam po natin na ang pagkakaroon ng campus ng isa sa mga pinakamahuhusay na unibersidad sa buong bansa ay tiyak na makatutulong sa ating mga inisyatibang paunlarin ang kalidad ng edukasyon dito sa ating lungsod,” said Malapitan.
