History of TCAGP
An Ad-Hic Committee composed of the representative of the Board of Technical Surveys and Maps, the Land Authority, and the University of the Philippines, was convened in August of 1963 to plan and program the establishment of a Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry in the Philippines under the administration and supervision of the University of the Philippines. A memorandum of agreement, signed on December 18, 1963, by the Governor or the Land Authority and the President of the University of the Philippines, culminated in the establishment of the Training Center on October 7, 1964.
The core competencies of the Center include the following:
