University of Ilocos Philippines - Main Campus

The institution's legal identity has changed. Ilocos Sur Polytechnic College was created by Republic Act No. 7960 in March 1995 and converted into Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College by Republic Act No. 8547, signed by President Fidel V. Ramos on 24 February 1998. Republic Act No. 11755, approved on 27 April 2022, then converted the state college into a state university and integrated the North Luzon Philippines State College with it, creating the University of Ilocos Philippines with its main campus at Candon City. Records and signage may still carry the older name during the transition. This record corresponds to the former North Luzon Philippines State College, the institution that Republic Act No. 11755 integrated into the system and designated as the main campus. The Act provides that it becomes the main campus immediately on effectivity, and that the incumbent president of the state college serves as the first president of the university through the transition. The parenthetical in the name reflects a record captured mid-transition rather than two separate institutions.
