The year was 1978. Amable R. Aguiluz V., fourth son and namesake of Amable M. Aguiluz (1913-1977)     who was the former Auditor General during the Macapagal administration, formed a distributorship in Manila for "Computerland". The firm became one of the main distributors of Apple Computer in the Philippines. It became one of the venues by which advancements made in Computer Science and Technology was absorbed in the Philippine industrial life.

    Due to the Filipinos' deep hunger for computer education, AMAICS founder Amable M. Aguiluz opened AMA Computer College(AMACC) the center for degree courses, and years later AMA Computer Learning Center (ACLC) started its operation in June 1987, but it was in the year 1990 that expansion took place.
