Trinity University of Asia (formerly Trinity College of Quezon City), also known as TUA, is a non-sectarian private university located in Quezon City, Philippines. Originally established in 1963 as an elementary, high school and collegiate educational institution, then-TCQC acquired university status on July 18, 2006.
Trinity University of Asia is one of only five universities in the Philippines with current Institutional Accreditation granted by the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP). The accreditation has been granted for a period "effective August 2009 up to April 2014". It is also one of few universities in the Philippines that have been granted full autonomous status by CHED "from 6 October 2009 to 5 October 2012". As of October 2009, only 44 (2.5%) out of 1,726 higher educational institutions in the Philippines had been granted autonomous status by CHED. Trinity University of Asia is one of the Centers of Development in Nursing Education in the Philippines, in accordance to the CHED CMO No. 38 series of 2015.
Protestantism developed in the Philippines through the United States taking possession of the Philippines with the 1898 Treaty of Paris. United States rule allowed more opportunity for missionaries to enter the Philippines than under Spanish rule. In addition, there was a backlash against the Catholicism of the Spanish and a greater acceptance of Protestant Christianity represented by the Americans. The dominance of the Catholic Church in the Philippines and Protestant animosity towards Catholicism were prominent reasons for the start of Protestant missionary activity. In 1901 the Evangelical Union was established in the Philippines to co-ordinate activities amongst the Protestant denominations and lay the foundations for an indigenous religious movement.
Manila was opened to all denominations and mission agencies. The Seventh-day Adventist Church and Protestant Episcopals did not join because they wanted to go to all parts of the archipelago.
