The
Professional Academy of the Philippines (PAP) is a higher educational institution in
Naga, Cebu. It was established in 2005 as the
Criminology Forensic Investigation and Law Enforcement (F.I.L.E.) Academy in Cebu City. It initially offered BS Criminology, and after some time, programs in Information Technology, Education,b and Hotel and Restaurant Management were opened for college students. In 2009, PAP extended its services in Naga; a new building was constructed; and, as years passed, facilities were added like a criminology laboratory, a mock hotel, a computer laboratory, and audio-visual/ amphitheater rooms.
At present, PAP provides programs from the preschool to the college level. Its basic education department includes a Senior High School (SHS) program, with selected strands from the
Academic and the
Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) tracks. Its college department, on the other hand, has five academic units:
Criminology, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Computer Studies, Education, and
Engineering.
