History

The Eulogio "Amang" Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST) was established after the liberation of Manila in 1945. It started as a vocational school with only one room at the second floor of the Mapa High School, nine teachers, a clerk, and 147 students. Its former name was Eulogio Rodriguez Vocational High School (ERVHS).

In July 1946, EARIST acquired its present site in Nagtahan, Santa Mesa, Manila. Apolinario Apilado was appointed as the principal, succeeded by Dr. Hilario Nudas in 1949. [8]

EARIST's development was made possible through three Republic Acts and a Presidential Decree:

"Section 1. A vocational technical department which shall offer courses above secondary level is hereby established in the Eulogio Rodriguez Vocational High School in the City of Manila." [9]
"Further amending certain sections of Republic Act numbered four thousand seventy-two entitled "an act providing for the establishment of a vocational technical department of the Eulogio Rodriguez Vocational High School in the City of Manila" as amended by Republic Act numbered five thousand eighty-eight entitled "an act converting Eulogio Rodriguez Vocational High School into Eulogio "Amang" Rodriguez Memorial School of Arts and Trades" by providing for a board of trustees, defining the board's powers and duties, and for other purposes."

'No haircut, no enrollment' controversy

On March 16, 2024, the EARIST administration voided a 'No haircut, no enrollment' provision in its student handbook denying "enrollment to male students, including transgenders, unless they conform to the prescribed hair length and uniform". “This afternoon we facilitated a dialogue between the EARIST administration, led by president Rogelio Mamaraldo, and the affected students led by Red Riotoc of the Bahaghari-EARIST body to dialogue and find ways of solving the problem... Both sides found common ground,” CHED Chair De Vera said. Manila Councilor Joel Villanueva moved for “the strict implementation and enforcement of Ordinance 8695, a measure passed in 2020 meant to protect members of the LGBTQIA+ community". [18] [19]
