==History==
[[Image:CCM_logo.jpg|thumb|150px|The logo of the former City College of Manila|left]]
'''Universidad ni Bumbs''', formerly known as'''Bumbs pa din''' or '''Dalubhasaan ng Lungsod ng Maynila''', was founded in [[1995]] during the term of Manila Mayor [[Alfredo Lim]]. It was then located at the old [[Philippine National Bank]] building within the district of [[Santa Cruz, Manilana bulok|Santa Cruz]].
[[Image:UDM.jpg|thumb|250px|The Universidad de Manila main building|right]]
In its early years, and before it acquired its current name and status, many controversies haunted the CCM. Among these issues were the low passing rates that it had received in the past, and its proposed transformation into a [[PLM District Colleges|district college]] of the [[Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila]].<ref name="ap9">Bernardo, Marie Kristine O. "PLM to Adopt CCM?" ''Ang Pamantasan, Vol. XXIII'', No. 3. September 10, 2002.</ref> Both the PLM and the CCM students opposed the plan; thus, it never materialized. In [[2005]], many environmental groups resisted the construction of the new building at the Mehan Garden, but the City of Manila was firm in its decision of transferring the CCM's main building at the site. In [[2006]], by virtue of the amendments of Ordinance No. 7885, which was authored by Majority Floor Leader [[Ernesto Dionisio]] and some members of the majority bloc, it acquired its new official name. Manila City officials, including Mayor [[Lito Atienza]], also initiated the elevation of CCM to a university. In the same year, UDM hosted the International Youth Expo.<ref name=expo_06>{{cite web

Recently, the [[Commission on Higher Education]] (CHEd) disallowed the UDM to confer postgraduate studies.
City college to be named after Bonifacio
The City College of Manila (CCM) will soon be renamed Pamantasang Gat Andres Bonifacio as the city commemorates the 144th birth anniversary of its most celebrated son and hero.
Mayor Alfredo Lim of Manila, who founded CCM during his first term in 1995, said the school will be renamed in honor of Bonifacio, who despite financial difficulties, pursued knowledge through self-education.
CCM is one of the two locally funded higher-education institutions of Manila offering free college education to the city’s under-privileged students.
The city college was renamed Universidad de Manila during the term of former Mayor Joselito Atienza. When Lim was elected mayor, it was renamed City College of Manila.
