Aguiluz V, who named it after the initials of his father's name, Amable Mendoza Aguiluz, Sr. A visionary, Dr. Aguiluz saw the need and demand for fully trained computer professionals in the country. Sadly, during the said time, no institution in the country was willing to offer computer education to professionals.
Having seen the importance of computers in the corporate world and emerging industries, Dr. Aguiluz saw that existing computer schools then lacked computers and planned to offer a curriculum based on a one computer per student policy.
     Aguiluz founded the AMA Institute of Computer Studies on June 1981, with the first computer school located along Shaw Boulevard on October 20, 1980. At that time, AMA Institute of Computer Studies offered only short-term courses in Electronic Data Processing Fundamentals, Basic Programming, and Technology Career.
