The City University of Pasay was founded on May 26, 1994, by the virtue of city ordinance.^[2] The constitution was conceptualized by Hon. Pablo N. Cuneta with the city councilors and other local officials.

The school started with 384 students and 11 faculty members, holding evening classes at the Pasay City West High School. Dr. Felimon Salas and his staff at the guidance research center composed the working group for the university. Dr. Amor Peñalosa and Dr. Estela Portugal paved the way toward the recognition of the university as an institution of higher learning leading to the approval of programs by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The Division of City Schools, Pasay played a significant role in the development of the university: not only the consultative service but also personnel services including the use of school facilities.
