Eulogio "Amang" Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology, public college in the Philippines
The Eulogio 'Amang' Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology, known as EARIST, is a public college in Santa Mesa, Manila, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs focused on science, arts, business, and technology. The campus has classrooms, laboratories, gardens, and spaces for studying and socializing where students move between classes.
The school was founded in 1945 as a small vocational institution with only nine teachers and 147 students in a limited space within a building. After acquiring land in 1946, it relocated to its current site on Nagtahan Street and later expanded into a full college through government legislation, offering higher-level programs.
The institution is named after Eulogio Rodriguez, a prominent senator whose legacy shapes the school's educational mission. Students wear uniforms and participate in sports teams, artistic groups, and clubs that define daily campus life.
The institute is located in a busy area of Manila with easy access by public transportation such as jeepneys and buses, plus shops and food options nearby. Visitors should expect an active campus where students move between classes, outdoor learning areas, and school events throughout the day.
The school operates its own publications like Earist Technozette and student newspaper The Champion, giving students a platform to share their ideas. The institution has made a commitment to create a welcoming environment for all students, including those from the LGBTQIA+ community.
