The influx of American and other international experts in social

among the Filipino people that relief can be a systematic means
to alleviate suffering with more lasting effects, spurred
professional development.
The United nation and the US was the pioneer in teaching Social
work as a course in 1946. The first university in the country that
offered it was the Philippine Women’s University in 1959.
