Andres Bonifacio College was founded in 1940 as Andres Bonifacio Institute by Amando B. Amatong and Felicidad S. Amatong. The college was named after Andres Bonifacio, a revolutionary leader, to which Amando himself found inspiration being born to poverty in Dalaguete, Cebu. The original location of ABI used to be in what is now Festival Shopping Arcade 1 in Rizal Avenue corner Magsaysay Street, Barangay Central.
Amando Amatong died on April 21, 1943, leaving his wife Felicidad to operate the institute while taking good care of their eight little children. To maintain ABI's operation, Amando's youngest brother Silverio B. Amatong was appointed as the institute's president. From its original campus used since its founding, the college permanently transferred to what it is now known as College Park in Barangay Miputak after a fire razed the institute's buildings and nearby structures to the ground in 1968.[5]
