In 2001, a group of information communications technology (ICT) practitioners established the Computer Professionals' Union (CPU) of the Philippines in response to the expressed need of grassroots-oriented organisations to understand the state of ICT that was becoming a very pronounced sector in the Philippines' national development landscape.

Eventually, the CPU would extend its reach to do advocacy and organising work amongst computer professionals and enthusiasts, i.e., programmers, system developers, system analysts, ICT project managers, university students, including teachers and researchers from the academe.
In 2008, CPU was officially registered under the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Philippines as a non-stock, not-for-profit organisation.
