By agreement of the major Protestant denominations, the Philippines were divided into mission territories. Western Visayas went to the American Baptists, hence Baptist institutions such as Filamer Christian University, Central Philippine University, Capiz Emmanuel Hospital.Filamer Christian University, which was then known as the Baptist Home School, was one of the earliest institutions of learning in the province. It started as an orphanage, evolved into a high school (then known as Filamer Christian Institute, then to Filamer Christian College, and now Filamer Christian University).The first university president was Rev.
