The Central Philippine University Republic (CPUR), often referred to as CPU Republic, is the student government of Central Philippine University in Iloilo City. Established in 1906 a year after Jaro Industrial School (the forerunner of Central Philippine University) opened, it is the first and oldest student council (student governing body) in South East Asia. CPU Republic is modeled on the Federal government of the United States and consists of three branches: executive, legislative and judicial.
In 2005, a new constitution was ratified that changed the form of government to a federal parliamentary style, drawing inspirations from various types of government structures like the Philippines, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
