Philippines’ best universities
Wanna know how our universities fare against others in the world?
Globally the University of the Philippines is ranked at 299.
- De La Salle 392nd
- Ateneo de Manila 484th
- University of Santo Tomas 500th
These according to the Times Higher Education Supplement-Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS) World University Rankings which ranks universities across the globe in yearly surveys that began in 2004.
Among Asian countries, UP is found at 47th. Our standing is considerable, given that our university systems have to deal with increasing budget cuts and the exodus of so many professors and teachers abroad.
What does it mean to be among the top universities?
For one, the rankings help students decide where to go, what kind of educational opportunities await them at their chosen schools. It also should provide incentive for flailing universities to do better.
Michael Tan of the Inquirer analyzed the rankings and the implications for our education system:
First, you don’t need to be a rich country to have good universities. Indonesia, a country less developed than the Philippines, is an example. It had three universities, all state-run, beating us in rankings: University of Indonesia (250th), Bandung Institute of Technology (258th) and University of Gadja Mada (270th).
Second, the other countries seem to recognize that excellence in education must be spread out throughout the country. The three Indonesian universities I just named are all on the island of Java, but at least they’re found not just in the capital, Jakarta, but also in Bandung and Yogyakarta.
Third, the state needs to invest in universities. The THES list is clear in showing that, with the exception of the United States and the Philippines, the leading universities in every country are state-owned. Sure, UP is the leader in the Philippines, but in other countries, several state universities – not just one — made it to the THES list.
Hopefully, being among the top 500 gives us something to be proud of as well as a lot to strive for.

299th Global and 47th Asian, astig pa rin ang UP!
Additional budget and more support from the government might make it even better 
Salamat sa mga tax payers
very proud of the universities in the phils. in par with other universities in the world, especially the ivy league school in the US. University of Santo Thomas, our Pontifical University is older than Harvard University of the U.S.,and is also rated one of the best. too bad, i earned my degree in the seminary and Adamson University under the Vincentian Fathers.
DLSU over ADMU?!?!?!?!?!
GO UP! GO UST! But the only question is DLSU over AdMU? That is highly unlikely!??!!
wow…….mga astigin kau HA!!!!whahahaha
DLSU has always produced top quality in terms of education, sports, its alumni, etc. We just don’t go about shouting it like uncultured creatures…like in other schools…
here we go now…
the classic rumbles among universities, hehehe… every graduate is fiercely loyal to his alma mater, but that’s expected. ang weird naman siguro tingnan kung graduate ka ng UP tapos, cheering squad ka ng ibang universities ano? hehehe.
We wish that the government should put more budget to UP because we are falling apart from the list. In time, we could be totally eradicated from the list because our government cant see the significance of UP to the country’s mark in tertiary education in the world…
POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES is still the BEST!!!!!
GO PUP!!!
What can I say but….no matter how good of our own alma matter is, i believe it would still depends on YOU, on US,of course, there is something to be proud of, specially when ur school belongs to the top, or to the so-called “elite”.But remember, once we leave school, most of us know that it is not as much a matter of college degrees from these universities that counts, in the real world outside of academics, something more than these are required….learning is beyond classroom, beyond school–beyond any elite universities.Instead search one’s self or rather ask one’s self, if there is something to be proud on you, then you should also be proud of where you belong or where you came from.
aGnioN
You are so right. I’ll never forget what one professor told me – having the right university, diploma or honor only matters in the first five years after college. After that, it’s more about experience and skills.
I’ll be always grateful for the training i got from college, and I thank them (and my parents) for that opportunity. But I know I can’t forever where my school on my sleeves, so to look beyond school for learning is what matters in our career.
Thanks for sharing that profound insight.
More power to all of our career.
for UP, until now, i jst dnt understand and i can’t even get why they imposed tuition fee/tuition fee hike, goodness…UP is a government institution….and it suppose to be a school for those who has the brain but no bread
(i mean…poor but has the intellectual capability)from the public school specially in provinces, but look…it seems go to the other way….the tuition fee is like (or even higher) of the other private schools, students are now mostly belong to elite (common you guys, there is ateneo or lasalle for them),UP is supposedly for the masses, the pride of the poor but deserving…..geez!those days are gone…
nag aaway pa kau eh!!! maging proud tau dhl filipino tau ganun mata2lino mga filipino…. tapus
i guess the ’stereotype’ that DLSU only caters to students who are “rich, brainless brats” is definitely proven wrong by this survey…
FYI: almost half of my blockmates back in college (of course in DLSU) are under full scholarship, coming from not so rich families… not so rich is actually an understatement… (imagine my classmates’ dad is an ordinary soldier – not those w/ the titles of general or major, mind you…)
so please enough with the comments like: – DLSU over ADMU?!?!?!?!?! AND – But the only question is DLSU over AdMU? That is highly unlikely!??!!
if you’ve got questions on how the survey was done please visit this site: http://www.topuniversities.com/worlduniversityrankings/2006/faqs/
by the way, im not trying to start a fight… ok? =) =D
im just making a point…
enough with being close-minded and lets face the real issue here: how the hell can our ‘top universities’ rank higher???!!!
im definitely not contented with a rank of 299….. are you???!!!
louize… that’s an eye opener for me about DLSU. I guess that is a stereotype I’ve applied to de la salle that it’s only for the rich. Thanks for clarifying that. It’s good to know there are a lot of DLSU scholars because I think the school is one of the best in the country, and rightly so should be open to more deserving students even when they don’t have the money.
aGnioN, I graduated from UP Los Banos, and I remember my first two years we were almost free. But by the time my fourth sibling got into college the socialized tuition fee kicked in and almost killed my parents’ budget. four children in college and still they considered us middle class enough to pay more than I thought we should. i haven’t been to Los Banos in a while so I don’t know the current mood but it’s too bad if what you’re telling is true.
the university of san carlos is the most prestgious university of the visayas, producing competent graduates,.. visit usc and feel the difference in this unique university with 4 campuses, the biggest campus in the visyas and mondanao area is the usc-tc, situated in a hill… this is the future universe-city
thanks Cris, for promoting USC. the visayan and mindanao universities don’t get as much exposure as those in Manila/Luzon but you do have top caliber schools too.
Any more universities in Visayas and Mindanao we should take note of?
In addition, UP and De La Salle are the only ASEAN universities in the country.
go UP! go go UP!
hellerr!!!!! still the best is the university in mindanao!!! mindanao state university!!!to be spicific..msu-iit is the best of all!!
UP,Dela salle, Ateneo, UST are the best schools! Including UA&P syempre. Wala na! Tigilan nyo na ang lasalle. Magaling talaga sila. Feu is still not highly recommended. That’s it I’m out.
excerpts from “The THES-QS explains university rankings, addresses issues”
The actual scores of the Philippine universities reveal a lot more than the overall rankings. The Ateneo de Manila University was the top-ranked Philippine university in the Recruiter Review, International Faculty, and International Students.
the Recruiter Review (38 percentage points against 32 and 31 of the other universities), International Faculty (7 percentage points against 6 of UP, 4 of UST, and 1 of DLSU), and International Students (6 percentage points against 1 of the other universities). The highest rank in recruiter review means that from the point of view of the world outside, Ateneo graduates are the most sought after in terms of employment. The top rank in internationalization comes as no surprise, considering that Ateneo has been a pioneer in providing students with a global perspective through its Junior Term Abroad in 39 institutions in 11 countries (Australia, China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, France, Spain, Germany, Norway, and the USA,), and its China and Europe study tours.
Haha…nasa AHS ako ngaun at pupunta nang UP Diliman next year. Ito lang masasabi ko. DLSU is the best school to supplement the needs of “challenged” students. It is easy to get to De La Salle- Manila. Failing students of Ateneo High got into La-Salle but rejected by both UP and Ateneo. So what does this mean for you guys out there?
well, UP is expected to be on top of all schools in the country, right? Proud to be a UP student.go UP!!!
matatalino mga estudyante up at ateneo at high tech univ ang la salle… no wonder nasa top silang tatlo…
university of san jose-recoletos is the best school in the visayas
i should that silliman university is the best….with all the licensure examination results, it’s evident that this school made to be on top…..soar high and be a true-blooded sillimanians…………..
For me, UP an UST. Hehehe… kasi BSEE ako sa Uste and ComSci naman sa UP. Bias ‘no?:) Pero minor factor lang naman ang school sa success in life ng isang graduate. Ang mahalaga ay ang magkatrabaho and be performing excellently in your profession at ang pagkakaroon integridad. Marami naman akong kilalang very successful graduates ng Feati, TUP, EARIST, PUP, UM, MCU and other “underdog” schools. Conversely, marami din akong kilala na grads ng UP, UST, DLSU and Ateneo na maraming taon nang tambay at “pal” ng parents nila.
GO UP!!!! do you really think that we deserved that 299th rank??? who d hell made that stupid stuff.. we are THE BEST isn’t???? other races even study here in our country because they jnow that the tuition in here is cheaper than theirs and because tehy know the facet that WE ARE INTELLIGENT!!!!!! nweiz, my younger sister is studyin’ at SLU-Baguio, and i believe that that university also provides better education like the famous UP and ADMU.
Here’s my two cents’ worth (quite hefty, though):
1. UP’s reputation will go down if tuition isn’t increased because its faculty members shall be pirated by other universities, local and international, which can compensate them better. The government of late cannot be trusted to support state education, therefore each university needs to augment its budget with either fee increases, alumni contributions (from the UPAA-HK, for example–shameless plug), links with international universities and corporate partnerships (e.g. the UP-Ayala Technopark at Diliman; on the more dubious side, the support granted by a well-to-do family–that’s mere hearsay from down south but I would appreciate verification–unto UP Mindanao in Bago Oshiro). UP is doing all that it can; trust me, tuition fee increase was the final recourse Chancellor Roman could take in order to ensure proper operations in the next decade or so.
2. Don’t be surprised about DLSU’s higher place in the rankings over Ateneo. DLSU does the following:
a. establishes study and exchange links with many, many international universities–that’s how it promotes itself, and how its faculty members are exposed to better post-graduate opportunities. A lot of them bag the Fulbright quite easily; I shan’t elaborate the details. Let’s just say that sometimes, UP faculty applicants have to work extra hard to bag the Fulbright; it’s not all about grades anymore. What can one do? Selectivity is a political thing. Erm. On to the next. (Sour grapes aplenty.)
b. secures aid and grants from wealthy Japanese universities, which is why their Robotics Engineering program is, techologically, better than UP’s Mechanical Engineering and EEE programs. This is admitted even by recent graduates of UP who are currently working for companies like Intel.
c. enhances its best qualities. A university’s business school is usually its star athlete, as in the US: Kellogg, Harvard and Stern are examples. DLSU has a program as competent as AIM and the UP MBA programs, yet is AS ACCESSIBLE as AIM’s and more than UP’s. Who wants to travel all the way to Diliman from Makati? Location, location, location.
d. Finally, DLSU’s course offerings are just as comprehensive as UP, except for the really traditional liberal arts courses like Anglo-American Literature as a major (note: the lib arts people from DLSU are education majors with Lit or Creative Writing minors, or enrolled in LiaComm), and offer courses as innovative as Ateneo’s. Expect UP to remain traditional in the way organises its disciplines; at least one university system in the Philippines should keep the disciplines sub-divided properly. Let the other universities do more cross-curricular dilettante work, only because they don’t have the faculty to do the hard-core research which UP still can do, dwindling resources notwithstanding. (Best example: The academic world of Physics is watching UP’s research in Optics. See http://www.up.edu.ph/) DLSU is doing the right thing in marketing itself; this is why it has been quite progressive in the rankings.
3. Only in recent years has Ateneo expanded its humanities (visual and theatre arts, in particular) and engineering programs. Third place is not so bad. DLSU has created an arts and design hub out of DLSU-CSB, since DLSU is primarily a business and technology geared university.
4. UST needs to market itself better as the oldest university in Asia, or Southeast Asia. I’m sure some Chinese university shall claim to be the oldest in Asia; or perhaps, factually, the oldest Asian university might be some ashram in the Middle East. It should also invest in better research grants for its faculty. At the moment, many of their liberal arts instructors obtain their PhDs from UP. It would be nice, however, if UST would establish more links with Spanish universities and re-establish itself as a centre for excellence in Spanish studies: culture, art, history, etc. This is because all the old texts are in their vaults. They may as well make use of them. The Instituto de Cervantes is and active cultural player in Manila. UST needs to create ties with that organisation.
5. UA&P is a major player in the “best university” category because all of its students graduate with master’s degrees. Their BA-MA; BS-MS programs allow students to transpose their undergraduate work into graduate work within one year. Feasible, efficient…daya! (Just being cheeky!) But it works. This is how Oxford and Cambridge work: three years of hard undergraduate lectures and research; after graduation, everyone waits one year and then they receive their master’s diplomas. Well worth the wait, to put it cheekily again.
6. To PUP, Siliman, San Carlos (my best mentor in American Literature had a BA with honours from San Carlos; that’s how she became a UP instructor in the seventies’), MSU, etc. – you can do any of the following:
a. improve your English department by making ties with UP and other ASEAN English departments, or inviting foreign professors to help improve your communication curricula. Siliman, however, is an exception; every budding writer flocks to Dumaguete for the prestigious Siliman Writers’ workshop. This is how Siliman has gained its reputation, by focusing on its faculty strength: the Tiempos. God bless Prof Edilberto’s soul.
b. invest in faculty development; if money is a problem, then send your faculty members to the University of the Philippines for their higher degrees, but higher degrees are compulsary. The higher a university’s PhD percentage, the better. The more PhDs, the more people–we assume–are doing research. The more research output, the more visible the Philippines shall be in global academic debates.
On a personal note, I’m glad that UP now has a presence in Mindanao; that way, deserving Muslim talents shall not feel that UP is a Manila- or Luzon-centric university system. Furthermore, it shall allow MSU and Ateneo de Davao to start re-evaluating their programs, if you want to see it from a competitive perspective, a counter-productive perspective if I ever saw one; or on a cooperative note, it shall allow universities down south to create more partnerships and opportunities for resource-sharing, conferences and the like. We’re all lucky to have many universities to choose from in our country, and all the luckier to have our parents pay for our university education, which is not a general practice in other first-world countries.
I am for the improvement of the general educational atmosphere in the Philippines. Our universities need to start sharing resources, creating partnerships (the word, I think, is “consortia”) down to the department level performing more public lectures to publicise themselves in the disinterested, inexpensive and fruitful way possible, and publishing, publishing, publishing on print, multi- and internet media. All this “my horse is bigger than your horse” reeks of petty tribalism which won’t work in the global age.
So let’s let all those professors out of their towers and let them all “profess” (hmmm…their job description, right?) what they claim to know in the public arena. (Goodness, after all that studying, it’s time to share!) It’s the only way our people (voters, esp) shall have a voice to counter all those self-serving politicians and foolish celebrities who are getting too much air-time on the networks. And quick, before our society plummets into the abyss of illiteracy, if it hasn’t already!

ung apat nmn n un tlg ang pinka mggndng univrsity s philippines..no doubt bout dat!!! away away p kau.. preprehas lng nmn tau nagaaral! bsta USTE prn! hekhek..
the school where you come from doesn’t really matter, you see. the fact that we’re all able to make it big in life (hopefully) is enough testimony to the ability of the institution to make us the best that we can be (again, hopefully).
maganda nga school, bum nmn pag-graduate; state college nga pero hinahabol ng employers; mahirap nga pero nsa exclusive school dahil sa scholarship; mayaman nga pero nasaan?
The thing is, pinapagpatuloy pa rin kasi yang mentality na yan about schools eh. Sobrang age-old issue na yan and it seems it will never die out. Ang CHILDISH! PATHETIC! POINTLESS!
I believe we’re all capable of thinking well enough and a bit more reasonably than years before pero nasaan ang maturity?
Ok, here goes: I’m from La Salle (full scholar), I came from a science high school, I passed admu (w/ scholarship), up, ust, mapua, lyceum (w/ scholarship), csjl. I’m not saying na matalino ako, in fact i’d say na ang challenged ako ngaun sa lasalle. For all of those na nagsasabi na madali sa school ko, I challenge you guys to take a term here under my course and let’s see how you fare.
Sa totoo lang, wala nga sa school un eh. Paglabas mo ng school pag graduate, wla n un eh. Sure, it will serve you well in terms of socializing and finding a good career blah blah blah pero years after that, you’re on your own. You can’t expect good old La Salle to back you up and point arrows at your enemies, same thing with true blue Ateneo to give you wings to soar high. It’s all up to you.

ngarks. typo sa previous post ^_^ “I’m not saying na matalino ako, in fact i’d say na challenged ako ngaun sa lasalle.”
Anong mas maganda?? UPD o UPLB??
mas mataas pa sana ang ranking ng UP
kung hindi kasama ang student-faculty ratio (masyado marami students)
at facilities (baba lang tuition sa UP kaya di gaanong maganda facilities).
superman,
That’s a really good question. But I’m quite biased. I grew up inside the UPLB campus.
i think deserving tlga ang DLSU sa spot nla kc i thnk karma lng ng ADMU yan, nggng myabang n tlga cla at pti UP pinapatos…mga atenista mxado niong pnapamukha sa lasalista na bobo cla yan 2loy, tgnan nio kung nsan kayo…
im stil luking forward n mkasama ang SAN BEDA sa top schools!
Among this UP, La Salle, Ateneo and UST. UP and UST are quit affordable. Yun ang mas mahalaga.
yeah…karamihan sa mga classmates ko nag take sa UP and UST kasi nga affordable aside from that ang taas ng quality. for me 4 universities in the philippines joining the world’s top 500 is not enough…dapat mdagdagan pa and wg lng mgfocus sa big 4 na yan, ang dmi pang universities here na mataas ang standards like Mapua, San Beda College, UA&P, PUP, SLU, Silliman and a lot more.
Sana sa mga susunod na yrs dumami n ang universities na mkakapasok sa top500.
un lng..
congrats sa UP, de La Salle, Ateneo de Manila and UST. great job! pagbutihin niO p lalo!
more power sa nyo and godbless…
Guys out there must look into macroperspective and not just keep debating or discriminating our own schools…these 4 schools should do something to uplift their standings…
What’s the best????
1.) UP – enermous campus, the government must improve UP, because as far as I know, UP even placed in the top 10 universities in Asia, now 47??? creepy ang campus, esp. pag gabi,, kung sinosino nakakapasok, dapat bakuran na ang UP!! kawawa naman mga students against bad people.
2.)ADMU – pinatunayan na they are on the top in the Bar exams, nice, school di for people who likes art. also produces great politicians. Sosyal, I’m not sure if they’re friendly. best facilities, nostaligic ambiance,
3.)UST – They are always included in the top 10 licensure exams, high passing rates esp. sa CPA, nursing, medicine, law, etc. people are not mayabang, pero matatalino . it’s like a university that reflects the past, present and future (because of the old buildings and the newly built buildings)mganda ang ambiance, though nakakatakot lang ang paligid nito, ‘_’
4.)DLSU – no comment, maganda naman buildings sa taft,
Ranking universities in broader sense is not trustworthy. You will make it harder for students to choose where will they be. It is because if a student thinks la salle is better than ADMU, then after reading some comments and being exposed to rankings, particularly worldwide rankings and he found out that the rank of the late is higher than la salle, so this event will confuse him.
Because competition can’t be avoided, i suggest that when you are to rank universities make it narrower, in the sense that it will not confuse students, instead will help them to choose which is better for their particular course or career. Rank them in a particular category, for example which is more appropriate for political science or business career. In that way, you will be helpful to students to choose which is more desirable.
I know this will work more effective than your(those that ranks, especially this site)strategy.
Let me rank in terms of business.
The best for this category is UA&P or University of Asia and the Pacific, Ortigas. parng OXford ang ddating, dito puro anak ng businessman kaya kung mag-uusap ang mga studyate puro business unlike in other univerties like UP(Nyaks!!!) na puro kagaguhan. It is where you can find students who are speaking in fluent english and gramatically correct.
When you are to pursue for law school.
You can enter either UP or Ateneo, but i suggest ADMU because of it’s facilities and there are a lot of decent students. Unlike in UP na palaging fraternities at ang dumi ng paligis nito. As far as I know place will reflect students. Kaya tignan ninyo puro gulo sa UP kaya yung mga studyante rin ay magugulo, walang galang at hindi pwedeng ipagmalaki worldwide, pero hindi naman lahat ng studyante. UP students are known as bright but saan ka nakakita ng matalinong tumatakbo ng hubu’t-hubad. Katalinuhan ba yan??? Stupidness!!!
Pag Pre-Law naman.
Either Lasalle o ateneo rin. Sa lasalle matututo kang magisip ng mabilis dahil narin sa Trisem sila.
Mind you…Ito ang pinakaMAGANDA AT EFFECTIVE NA BASAHIN Hind gaya ng mga nandito na mga comments, parang gawa-gawa ng tambay sa kanto!!!!No sense at all. Wag sasama loob ah!
Im an incoming freshman,,hindi ko pa gaano alam kung anu-ano yung mga universities in the philipines na masasabing maganda,,maganda hindi lang dun sa appearance kundi hanggang dun sa pagtuturo ng mga prof. at sa natututunan ng mga students…
Ngayon kasi sa aming mga freshmen ang pinaamalakig factor para sa amin ay ang pagipili ng school na aming papasukan,nag-search nga ako ng best univ. in the phil,,at ito ang lumabas!!!
Antway para sa ang top 5 universities ay ang mga sumusunod,,,
1. Definitely,,university of the philippines
-dba,ito naman talaga ang best university,pangalan pa lang,,best na,,pero ngayun mukhang ang mahal mahal na ng tuition fee,,tapos sabi pa ng mga seniors namin in high school, ikaw mismo ang magtuturo sa sarili mu??(ang hirap kaya nun!!),,tapos yung pwede rin lang ituro ng madali eh pinahihirap!!
2.Ateneo de manila
_wala lang,,feeling ko kasi ang tatalino ng mga atenista,,tama ba?,,pero may naririnig-rinig akong kahit na hindi nakapasa sa entrance exam,,maaaring makapasok!??
3.University of sto. tomas
-sabi nila,maganda raw ang turo ng mga prof. sa students as in makakaintindi ka talaga!!,,kaso lang hindi pa rin ganun katatalino ang mga students,,?
4.Polytechnic university of the philippines
-matatalino raw ang students dito,,,mura pa ang tuition kaso lang malapit sa squatter area,,baka ma-social shock ako dun,,hehe!
5.DLSU
-WALA LANG,KASI dba sikat ang skul na to,,,??>..basta wala akong ganu na backgaround sa skul na to!!
cge,,those are just my opinions!!!,,,at kasama na rin ang mag naririnig ko!!!
Where is University of Perpetual Help Las Pinas?
To Kim: Your entertaining statement about the tri-term system with people thinking on their toes and faster is the kind of thinking you need for the global factory. (But what can I say? La Salle does breed technocrats and entertainers.)
It is also sad for someone to think that a university’s stature can be judged by the number of air-conditioned rooms it contains (not to mention its capacity for contributing to the further destruction of the ozone layer).
The true university cultivates people who think deeply about issues and knowledge. This is why sufficient research time, and yes discussion-time with teachers and friends (i.e. tambayan talk), is required for ideas to simmer like proper stews. Research and discussions/conferences are more important than actual contact time with teachers in class.
Knowledge isn’t for those who eat curry in a hurry. (Because one ends up dashing to the toilet like a jet.)
This is why the two-term system works, if the nation is interested in training scholars and thinkers….not primarily churning a labour-force for the global market, which is the general aim of most technical schools.
And if one understands the imagery, then one shall know my meaning.
I shall lament the day the UP System turns into a “cheap labour” factory, bending its traditions to the will of fashionable education.
To LEJ:
I graduated from UST. For me di naman nakakatakot ambiance ng UST. I’ve visited UP, LaSalle and ADMU campuses and so far UST offers the best campus ambiance. No bias, malayo ang tatlo.
To all of you discriminating DLSU:
Tanggapin nyo na ang totoo. Magaling na talaga ang La Salle ngayon. Or matagal na, di lang natin nahalata kc tumatak sa isipan natin na mayaman lang sila pero kulang sa utak. Recently, I doubted a report from the Varsitarian (UST student organ) that UST is still the best performer in the board exams among PRIVATE universities, according to the PRC ranking. Kc sa nakikita ko sa Inquirer website, super impressive palagi performance ng DLSU! Of course, UP pa rin number 1 overall, palaging 100% passing – kainis! (LoL!)
Looking forward to seeing UPLB, Silliman, Saint Louis, USC and others in the top 500 soon! Napag-iiwanan na nga tayo sa ekonomiya, pati ba naman sa edukasyon?? Gumising na tayong lahat at magtulungan!
just accept the fact
top universities in the Philippines
UP, DLSU, UST, ATENEO,and others
DLSU is the country’s BEST PRIVATE university

Should you pretend and create more disturbing posts? It’s not DLSU or UP’s fault if your school suffers from a general erosion of academic standards and a radical polarization of the undergraduate curriculum.
para sa akin,,,pup ang da best public university!!!hehe,,
hindi lang dito mura,,,tiyak na may matutunan ka pa!!!!,,,basa,,to ol freshmen,,try niyo po ang pup,,12php lang po per unit!!!!

why would i say other schools are better than ADAMSON??..i came here so its the best
mali po yung ‘tuition fee’.redundant po. dapat tuition lang or tuition and other fees.
there’s nothing to be proud of regarding the respective ranks of the so-called philippine leading universities vis-a-vis that of the universities of other countries in the world especially in asia… several decades ago, these leading universities used to be described as “the mecca of learning” in the asia-pacific region…
what’s going on with us Filipinos? certainly, tuition fee hike is NOT the solution in order to accelerate the quality of education… the government needs to work on it and invest in it…
admu vs. dlsu: which one is better?? of course, the school scores in the total development of the individual… but frankly, the individual’s success greatly depends on how he leads himself–on how he responds to challenges…
semestral vs trimestral? remember, things can’t be learned instantly… it takes a great deal of hard work before one gets mastery…
kaya… wag ng pag-awayan yan… mag-aral na lang mabuti, ok?
POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES is one of top university in the Philippines.Why?Because of low tuition fee with a quality of education, many students were trying to get the slot to be the one of students here. I believe that education will not be based in terms of a high tuition fee as long as the university has a good teachings, many students will get a good job. PUP gets popular than other university because of having intellectual students…..
its ok….u shud be proud of
La Salle is the best!!!!! It is the school of the elite and the best private school in the philippines.

i think UE (manila) should be part of it. it should even rank ahead of FEU. for one under it’s new administration, facilities are being improved to cater the demands of quality higher education. faculty members are encouraged to grow professionally and pursue graduate degrees. in order to improve their teaching strategies. offcoarse!! the school environment is conducive to teaching-learning. NO DOUBT! international students are choosing to enroll in this university. Compared to FEU they only have a nice campus (newly painted lang!!) Do they excell academically???? hehehe. i think they only became popular when they won the UAAP championship a couple of years ago. he he he. they even say that our libraries are comparable to libraries of DLSU. no kidding!!!. ok that’s all bye.
GO RED WARRIORS!!!.
i mean off course he he he. honest mistake!
The University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P)has the best marketing course in the Philippines. The IMC program is paterned after the same program in Northwestern University, an IV league school in USA. Currently, the program from UA&P has a strong partnership with multinational corporations like Unilever, J&J, Citibank as well as in advertising agencies like JimenezBasic and Lowe, and media specialist agencies like Starcom. Those who get into the master’s program will automatically work in companies like these for 10 months, they call it residency instead of the usual OJT. They work as full time employees. Teachers from the IMC program are also CEO’s from these types of companies, which is a distinct advantage because some other schools on marketing are too theoretical and fail to impart what is necessary for the real/professional world.

UPD is the flagship and largest university in the UP System. But like Grace, I love UPLB. The University has the highest concentration of PhDs among all educational institutions in the Philippines. The College is also home to the country’s first and only Thomson Scientific/Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)-accredited journal, The Philippine Agriculturist. It has only 11 degree granting units compared to Diliman’s 26 (if I’m not mistaken). As of March 2007, the Commission on Higher Education has designated UPLB as a Center of Excellence in Agriculture, Agricultural Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Communication, Forestry, Information Technology, Mathematics and Veterinary Medicine. The University is also a Center of Development in Physics and Statistics. At least 22 of the 56 members of the prestigious National Academy of Science and Technology have studied and/or taught at UPLB. The University has likewise produced 11 of the 29 national scientists. BTW, UPLB has one of the largest campuses in the Philippines, with a total land area of 36 km², or roughly the size of the city of Manila. All info is from the Wikepedia.
I think UP is one of the best no doubt with it…and I think it could be also consider that FEU would be one of the top university in the Philippines..just recently on the newspapers I’ve read that FeU is winning in International Competition and considered one of the top business school in the Philippines, aside from that in just recent years also, FEU produced top students in board and bar, exams also FEU-Institute of Medicine ranked 3rd overall with the highest passing averages after UP and UST. The FEU East Asia College top 3 when it comes in I.T. In sports no doubt also in sports, FEU has 8 champions UAAP and I think 2nd or 3rd over-all champion. And FEu was awarded by UNESCO for its largest ARt DEco building in Manila..
..and no doubt it is popular and best in U-belt.. Good facilities, well and competent teachers..
so the best university also…
No doubt UP is best university…but I think FEU must be conder as one of the top university in the Philippines.
In Newspapers I’ve read that FEU just recently winning in International Competitions and considered as one of the business school in the Philippines,..through history of the Philippines without FEU there is no course as accountancy here. And recently FEU produced top notcher students in board and bar exams, and no.1 in CPA ng CE board exams,…
FEU-Institute of Medicine ranked 3rd overall with the highest passing averages after UP and UST.
and out of ten institutional entries from eleven countries in the Asia-Pacific region, FEU won the Honorable Citation Award from the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation. Bec it has one of the largest clusters of Art Deco structures in the Philippines. In sports no doubt FEU got 8 champions and ranked as 2nd or 3rd over-all champion and sent athletes as representative of Philippines for International Competition…The FEU East Asia College is top 3 when it comes in I.T…
That’s why FEU has a lot of Internation students, and FEU is known as the best and big university in U-belt…
Facilities were very great, campus is clean, and very discipline students specially students of Institute of Nursing….
FEU is also the best…and many hails FEU….
I (actually a lot of people) strongly think and believe that ATENEO is BETTER than DLSU! The criteria made are unjust and are simply unacceptable. ATENEO, honestly has and is producing more outstanding graduates/professionals than DLSU. Moreover, I firmly believe that one of the main factors that contributed to the “DLSU over ATENEO?!?!?!?!?!” thing are the superfluous and needless/unnecessary COURSES offered by DLSU; and the no. of overflowing teachers/professors. We all know the truth, therefore convincing yourself that DLSU is better than ATENEO is a waste of time and effort. I have actually read midterm examinations of some undergrad. students of the said school and sorry to say that I nearly puked because of the horrifying and inexcusable grammar and parahrasing skills of these students, to think that this so called “No.2 University” should be producing world-class graduates.
Nevertheless, I also believe that DLSU is more than capable of producing fine graduates/professionals. These ofcourse are my own opinions. Thus, no one else is held responsible of this comment.
ATENEO IS THE BEST!
hi,
i was a student from harvard university for two years before i transferred to the FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY in manila. the name is very prestigious in the u.s kasi, heard a lot about it, how it is the best university in the philippines, and even asia. that is why i transferred here.
if you would drop by the campus, you’ll see a huge expanse of campus grounds, gently rolling hills, very beautiful building, peaceful and safe surrounding at the U-belt, and conducive to studying. the library is the biggest in the country, the faculty majority has PhDs, the students are well-screened, in fact, it is the hardest entrance exam in the country. just last school year, over 200,000 students applied at feu, but only 2,000 was selected. grabe! it feels blessed and priveleged bo be studying at feu.
so, kayong mga taga UP, ATENEO, at LASALLE, magising kayo! tumigil na kayo sa kaka-dada dahil even sa harvard sikat ang FEU. Please stop imagining things, you sick bastards are living in your own world, believing that you are still the best, when in fact other univrsities like the FEU are leading the race.
Hi to UST students, as well as UE, and other schools near U-BELT! Let us be proud of being U-belt students! Grabe ang mga kainan at ang kalsada, ang daming okay-okay at carinderia! Makakatipid talaga tayo!!! Kitakits sa kainan ni aling minda sa may kanto ng morayta ever! By the way high way, ingat kayo sa mga kaklase nyo, kasi may classmate ako last sem na nakita ko nag-snatch ng bag ng isang ale last week. Ingats’ ingats!
Churva!!!!

Based sa Facts ng CHED, PRC at Times Higher Education Supplement. Di talaga kasali ang FEU.
Ba’t na lang parating pinagpipilitan ang FEU
SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY in DUMAGUETE CITY is the best and likewise home of the biggest library in asia. Academic excellence with christian values. Kudos to Silliman… “VIA, VERITAS, VITA” (I am the way, the truth and the LIFE). A world class university!

HINDE po KASAMA ang UST sa UBELT! sa espana po ang UST!
asa for the topic
they are only 4 schools in the philippines
UP
DLSU
ADMU
UST
OTHERS
PERIOD!!
UST is the best! UST is no doubt the best, in terms of sport (UAAP champion), but also in the field of studies… The university ranked 500th in the world rankings… In addition, UST was a part of the Filipino culture, for it is the oldest university at 400 years, and also, it was part of several wars. The university’s main building was a base camp against Japanese soldiers… The university is also the best in terms of medical sciences, architecture, and engineering to name a few…
GO USTe!
could anyone please send me an email concerning being a student in any university in the philippine that does not cost up to $2000 for international students. i am paying on my own. please help me with the university name and web address. thank you.
my email address is fiddy85@yahoo.com
Go USTe! Thomasians are humble enough to argue with this matter.
no comment. I want to transfer to UST! I dred the day I entered my school. I was forced to enter that school but then I passed USTET.
UAAP opened today, and I was supposed to be yelling, “GO USTE!”
Aaron Jan, can you please provide your sources of your rankings? (for both CHED COE/COD and PRC) For CHED, the only one I got is as of Feb 2001 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_on_Higher_Education_%28Philippines%29):
1. UP Diliman – 33
2. University of Santo Tomas – 15
3-5. Ateneo de Manila University – 11
3-5. De la Salle University – 11
3-5. MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology – 11
6-8. UP Los Baños – 10
6-8. University of San Carlos – 10
6-8. Xavier University – 10
9. St. Louis University – 9
10. Adamson University – 8
Per PRC rankings, the one provided above is quite out-dated I guess (period covered for such study is 1991-2001). The latest study is for the period 2000-2005 and I’ve read it somewhere and the rankings are as follows:

for me ateneo is the best!! there are alot of bright students why? because even our valedictorian failed here. but she passed in UP. so i doubt about UP because as what i hear TSAMBAHAN lang. I doubt also for those students in province because i think the education here in manila is better and how come they pass UPCAT??
so UPCAT is not a basis if you are really intelligent. not all UP students are bright for other students hu passed in Up they decide not to enroll but in ADMU or DLSU. THEn FOR me DLSU has the difficult entrance exam to be honest because those questions , iwe dont have them in my school so thumbs up aq s DLSU. hope naman sa UST, sana ala na ACADEMIC PLaCEMENT, korny lang un noh. BESIDES they should make the exam much difficult ang dali dali lng ng tanomng d nga aq nagreview but i pass in DLSU and USt. dapat higpitan ang pagpasok para tumaas naman ang ranking ng UST kc kulelat s Top world universities. MAGANDA ang facilities ng LAsalle compared to ateneo!!
Hang on…”tuition fee” is correct, because the word tuition refers to the instruction given you by a university. The fee is what you pay for having received “tuition” (another word, “tutelage” but this is used in a juvenile sense) at a university.
Tuition fee stands, except when the actual figure is printed beside it.
Most UK universities drop the word “fee” because it’s embarrassing to be repetitive about money. I.e.
“Tuition – GBP 13,000.00/annum”
You’ve got a price written beside tuition; to add the word “fee” would be superfluous and seemingly greedy.
What we really want to explore here, I believe, is how to better the status of universities in the Philippines in general.
My thoughts:
1. Create university partnerships; share resources.
2. Where faculty members at some university departments are found wanting, the top universities should be able to allow the members of their faculty to teach one to two courses at those universities as visiting lecturers.
3. I’m going to be questioned for this comment, but I really think it’s time to do away with the tenure system…Trust me, I’ve taught at a tenure- obsessed institution before. I’ll explain if someone asks me to.
4. The more mobility academics are afforded by their home institutions, the better for all universities in the Philippines, state or private.

Aaron, i think you should get an updated list of COE’s/COD’s. Again, I guess your bases are quite outdated.
For Science and Mathematics alone, CHED recently came up with CMO 5, series of 2007 ( http://www.ched.gov.ph/policies/index.html ) identifying the following universities as COE/COD:
UP Dilliman- 8 COEs
DLSU-Taft – 4 COEs
ADMU- 3 COEs and 2 COD
UP Los Banos -3 COE, 1
MSU-IIT 2 COE, 2 COD
USC 1 COE, 2 COD
UST 1 COE, 1 COD
CLSU 2 COD
CMU 2 COD
UP-Visayas 2 COD
UP-Baguio 1 COD
Silliman 1 COD
The physics program of MSU-IIT lost its COE status – it’s now a COD. The following physics programs lost their COD status: UP Baguio, Siliman, UPLB.
Moreover, your PRC rankings is again very outdated (its for the period 1991-2001). In recent board exams/bar exams UST, SLU, USC, XU and ADDU fared well among the private universities I guess.
Over-all, i must say that the quality of Philippine Education has been left out by our South-East Asian neighbors: Singaore, Thailand, Malaysia and even Indonesia.
UB is the best…. wooohhhhhhhhh
TOEFL information sheet: Two boxes succeeding the statement “University (Check box):” University of the Philippines (first box) Others (pls. specify) (second box)
In extreme cases there is only UP and others. Yet, if I am going to be extremely fair, there are four; namely UP, Ateneo, La Salle, and UST.
Student quality:
1. UP (malamang!)
2. Ateneo
3. UST
4. La Salle (let’s admit it they just have a better school but not better students)
Professors and facilities:
1. UP (malamang ulit!)
2. La Salle (La Salle can make competent graduates out of average or below average students)
3. Ateneo (modest in facilities but the Jesuit style of education combined with a body of fine students place kick ass)
4. UST (Modest in all sense. Simple yet substantial)
Sports:
1. UST (Overall Champion sa UAAP. Taga-UPD ako pero kampi ako sa Salinggawi)
2. La Salle (They have the perfect atmosphere for aspiring athletes…a.k.a. Special treatment for athletes plus light curriculum)
3. Ateneo (great support from Alumni, although the Eaglets fare way better than the Eagles)
4. UP (matatapang at matatalino pero hindi gaano suportado…plus mahirap ang academics. Hirap maglaro masyado)
would it make you a better person if you’re from one of the best schools? would it make you higher than others? so stop discriminating others just because you’re from DLSU, ADMU, UP, or UST. can’t we be proud for them instead.
by the way I’m from dlsu
Ano ba naman kayo? KAINIS kayo ha!
Hay DLSU should be no.1 sa Pnas….
Bakit di nyo tiganan kung ano ang binibigyan ng pansin sa Pilipinas ? Showbiz yata tayo. For your info DLSU has produced the most
alumni sa showbiz ha! so this is the best kasi sikat.
UP-wala kayo etiquette, tse !
Ateneo-trying hard copycat !
UST-ano kamo oldest university! eh lola institution pala kayo. di bagay sa sosyalan noh!
hay this thread so intellectual, nahihilo ako…i need to lie down muna……
A basta, ito ang mga prominent Philippine Universities
UP Diliman, Manila, Los Banos

Proud to be a FEUnian!!!!!! SUMA FEU!!!!
UP is such a prestige state university and i have no doubt about it. I’m existingly studying at PUP as a freshman with the course BSIT. well, students at PUP are really in hunger of better facilities because teachers there are really reaching out just for the students to learn and prove that facilities don’t hinder our studies and that’s what it’s all about but we believe that a school having better facilities will encourage more students to study twice or better and be proud of what we have and show our capabilities what a product from PUP is made of. anyway, i’ll just be proud to the top 4 univ’s and we’re all fortunate for that! i just want the schools to be united and don’t mean competitions. and all i wish is that i want my school to be added in an athletic association. Hi UAAP!!… How’s it goin’? Ü

Mindanao State University-Ilagan Institute of Technology (The best University in Mindanao, ala akong masyadong balita dito pero, it is 5th best university in the Philippines.
Xavier University (formerly Ateneo de Cagayan). This school is also prominent in high board ratings.

Bad 3p na UP yan! ang taas ng tuition… dyan sana ako nag aaral ehh.. walking distance lang, yan sa PUP bagsak ko.
Truth of the matter is, if you go to the United States, South Korea, Iran, Nigeria, Japan or Indonesia, if you ask the people there as to the best school they know of that exists here in the Philippines, they’ll say, SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY. You know why? Regardless of the rankings that you make here and there, Silliman University is the only university found here in the Philippines that is widely known internationally. Proof of that is the reputation of this university for having the highest number and percentage of foreign students enrolled in it’s courses. Foremost in its list at present (although this has changed from time to time) are Koreans, Indonesians, Iranians, Japanese, Americans, Europeans (Belgians, Germans and Austrians) and Nigerians. It has the reputation of being the oldest American university in the country; an affiliate of the United Board of Higher Education in Asia; the school that has the largest library in Asia; a partner of the USAID in marine research here in the Philippines; a campus that is conducive for learning-patterned after that of the Ivy League in the United States; the only ROTC unit during World War II that was officially commissioned into the USAFFE; an exceptional IT infrastructure -with an extensive fiber-optic Wide Area Network (that has not been replicated by any other school in this country); A Nursing, PT & Education Programs that has consistently ranked in the number 1 or 2 spots, and so much more.
While Silliman is not so known in the NCR area, Silliman has made it’s marks during it’s 106 years of existence. I attribute it’s seemingly unknown existence in the NCR region to the tagalog people’s myopic focus on it’s own big 4s or 3s or whatever they want to call it. They do not take into consideration the fact, that there are also great universities out there in the Visayas and Mindanao, such as San Carlos, Xavier, and MSU. Tagalog superiority complex perhaps? Hmmmm…. or Manila Imperialism.
While this comment has not been purposely posted to put down other schools, one should bear in mind that each school is unique; with it’s own bests, and with it’s own achievements. I think that ranking schools is but a mere futile attempt to measure one’s greatness: an arrogant endeavor to exalt one’s self. You cannot measure greatness -as greatness can be relative. One person’s great, may be another person’s least. One person’s intelligence, may be another person’s folly.
With the alarming trend of our educational system being overtaken by our neighbors in Asia, I think we should be one as a people in improving the quality of education that we have. Instead of putting other schools down, we should praise them for their achievements, take note of their strengths, and encourage them to improve more.
Erratum: It’s “United Board of Christian Higher Education in Asia”, and not United Board of Higher Education in Asia as I earlier stated.
What’s Olivarez College??? Where can that school be found???
haha!!! astig parin ng XU dude…
To Calvin:
Para kang tambay lang. Bakit? Do you really think that people from Manila are that intelligent so you can underestimate probinsyanos?
For your info, it’s not the place that counts when it comes to intelligence. It is the person’s mind and common sense. Atenista ka dba? So why can’t you accept it? U.P. is BETTER THAN ADMU.
Admit it. Talo na kayo ng DLSU kasi self-centered kayo.
Atenistas think that they are the best but how can they be the BEST when while they are on their way to success, they are already showing the BEAST in them? VERY BAD.

I am so delighted that everyone in here is raising their own banners and proving that their University is the best. It proves that everybody is doing their part to make IT the best… but what is important is not just to identify the Best University but to identify where we truly belong– a place where we could really flourish in different facets of life. Every University has its own approaches/techniques and/or fortes when it comes to teaching, and it depends on us to choose the University which will make us the Best. Need we fight more?
to julius cesar,
I think it’s not fair for u 2 say such thing to a university that u didn’t know. you may know FEU from d outside o wla kang nari2nig 2ngkol d2 pero that doesn’t give u any right 2 say such gastly words to my university. R-E-S-P-E-C-T..San ka ba nag-aaral? is that wat ur university or school is teaching you??? Kaming mga taga-feu ang maka2pagsbi kung d maganda ang quality ng education sa university nmin dahil kmi ang nag-aaral d2..NOT AN OUTSIDER LIKE YOU…Maxado kng judgemental…bisitahin mo na lng ang website ng skul namin o kaya hanapin mo sa yahoo wikipedia ang skul namin para malaman mo ang achievement ng skul..ndi kc well-exposed ang FEU kya marami ang ndi naka2alam kung anong
kalidad ang meron ito…we feu student know better when it comes to our university kya sa su2nod ingat sa pagbitaw ng salita…wag kang magsalita ng ndi mo nalalaman!!!!!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T…BEAR THAT IN MIND!!!!!
If youre gonna take up Nursing well sa FEU mas okey compare to UST same with Mass Communication so I think it depends sa course mo but honestly UP,ADMU,LaSalle and UST are the given universities on top as a whole.
julius ceasar:
i don’t knw u bt i guez u hav a gud taste…

Thanks for the info.

To Julius Cesar:
I respect your ranking (dated July 30 above). However, yung side comment mo na number 1 sa UAAP and DLSU that’s why you put it at number 1, is extremely baseless. PLAIN IGNORANCE. NEVER pang naging overall champion ang DLSU in the 70-years history of the UAAP. UST is number 1 with 42 overall championships. Ateneo is 2nd with 20 and FEU third with 16. DLSU zero. At least ang NU may isa. Kung UAAP basketball lang ang tinutukoy mo, kulang na kulang pa rin ang pinapakita ng DLSU. According to the UAAP, FEU is number 1 with 19 championships. UST and UE shares the 2nd most basketball winnings with 19. DLSU got only 6. In fairness to La Salle, 6 basketball titles is not bad kasi kakasali lang nila nung 1986.
Sana naliwanagan ka. No offense meant (“,)
To Julius Cesar uli:
Yung overall championship counts above will not total to 70 (number of years ng UAAP) kasi combined junior and senior overall titles yung figure na binigay ko.
Cheers!
There are only two universities in the Philippines…
UP and others. UP is the best so piss off, you “others.”
Matatapang, matatalino..Walang takot kahit kanino..hinding hindi kami magpapahuli..pagkat kami’y mga taga-UP.
Unibersidad ng Pilipinas!
hehehe, ok lang, kahit UP maroon ako eh pagdating sa uaap, ateneo ako, hahaha! UP Fight!
UP Fight!
To Spider,
Siliman??? yeah right, eh hindi nga kayo maka-pwesto sa local PRC rankings…….Hindi rin kayo prominently placed sa CHED rankings, wala rin kayo sa Asiaweek university rankings…masyadong sour graping ang comments mo….eh ano ngayon kung may foreign students sa Siliman, madami din naman dito sa Manila nyan…hindi yan basis sa rankings kundi Academic reputation and research output………Internationally recognized kamo ? bakit wala man lang kayo sa Asiaweek rankings eh within Asia lang ito? Foreign students in Siliman are not the yardstick for gauging international reputation of Siliman. They are not the authority in this….such a naive declaration. No wonder Siliman ang nag comment eh….Higitan nyo muna UST then maybe makikinig kami..
Pssst!!!!!! tumahik kayong lhat… hindi nyo ba alam…. ???? one of the class A university in the phils? the pride of cagayan de oro…CAPITOL UNIVERSITY.. it is also one of the youngest…so plzzz.. mtanda na kau… kme bata pah… for me kame ang no. 1 okey?
TOP SCHOOLS IN THE PHILIPPINES
University of the Philippines
De La Salle University
University of Santo Tomas
Ateneo de Manila University.
et.al.
to ven….
capitol university? there’s such a thing? hehe.. never heard of it. maybe one of those “universities” mushrooming around from nowhere.

To : Kim Chui
Napaghahalatang biased ang comments mo. WALA sa top 10 rankings ang UA&P sa center of excellence and development ng CHED at lalu na sa Asiaweek and THES rankings wala ito. In fact tapunan to ng mga wannabe students na hindi kayang pumasa sa DLSU and Ateneo. For course specific choices look for the COE and COE’s ng Commission on Higher Education to guide you. At anong tri-sem pinagsasabi mo na ito ay makakatulong mag-isip ng mabilis? dapat students should think RIGHT hindi mabilis……Pang diploma mill ang guidance mo Kim Chui ! Dyan ka na lang sa showbiz college mo na here today forgotten-who tomorrow and keep it to yourself. You are misleading people here!
Kakatuwa ang mga arguments ninyo re which are the top universities/schools in the country. why don’t we flip the question and ask instead, from which schools did our most prominent (and perhaps most corrupt?) leaders/politicians graduate from? ha ha
GOD made LASALLITES… too rich!
den HE made UP studnts… too brainy!
PERFECTION was made wen HE combined d 2!
a breed of BRAINY, slightly RICH, competitive yet HUMBLE indvduals…
and GOD named dem:
ATENEANS:-)
I dont care guys, we from MSU-IIT alumni are silent but we make tons of dollars and cents, i never met UP or any from manila on my entire life at work, it should be good to challenge! in physics and mathematics.

hey! I’m a student from De La Salle….
‘wag nyo naman sana husgahan kaming mga Lasallians… It doesn’t mean na if from De La Salle ka mayabang ka na…. we’re just trained to be confident and of course to be the best! Well sana tigilan na natin yung pagcocompare kong sino ang best… okay!!!???? ANIMO LA SALLE !!!
PUP is one of the best universities in the country. mahirap tlga makapasok. in fact, may mga kakilala ako na pumasa sa u.p pero waiting list sa pup.
yun nga lang sa process ng pag-aaral, hirap talga matuto ang mga estudyante.
pupians ang talagang iskolar ng bayan!.
500 pesos kada semester lang sa PUP.
sana taasan pa ang budget para naman mas mahasa pa ang kakayahan ng mga estudyante.
let’s just be proud of and be happy for the 4 universities from our country na nakapasok sa top 500 school.
it’s not an issue of which is better among this and that school. what’s important is we support these universities
sa cheer man lang natin masuportahan nating ang mga estudyante to aim & do higher 
to alankeithley,
you’ve never met a UPian at work? that’s because you’re in ohio baby. nasa san jose and other california (as well as in other BIG US cities) engineering and scientific centers mga UPian eh.
not in ohio.
to m.a:
PUP? seriously? what the %&*k!
UPian na waitlisted sa PUP? that’s so imaginative of you.
and just because mura tuition nyo doesn’t make you iskolar ng bayan. you ought to be malaya and mapagpalaya in order to be one. and UP is the only university that produces such students.
anu b? ha?
UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES==34

Parameter for considering the best universities in the Philippines. It should be based on the number of CHED’s Center’s of Excellence (CE, the primary parameter) and Development (CD, the secondary parameter): Also consider the PRC’ Board passing rate.

Here is the top 20 ranking in the list, this is the fairest ranking based on Commission on Higher Education, Professional Regulations Commission and Time’s Higher education supplement Peer Review.

-St. Louis University, 2 CE, 7 CD (Best University North of Manila, for the Ilocos, Colldilleras and Cagayan)
-Siliman University – 2 CE, 5 CD (Probably the best university in the Visayas and most underated, neXt to UP in PRC Licensure passing rate)

FEU is not that bad. It’s just that people from the big 4 (namely UP, Ateneo, La Salle, UST) are just better. Relatively speaking we are all good it’s just that there are those that are excellent.
FEU took a beating and it is indeed unfair. Let’s give them a slack shall we?
…still CMU (central mindanao university)… kahit d2 lang kami sa mindanao kaya din naming tumapat sa inyo jan sa luzon…d purkit may pangalan na kayo eh parang nag.aasta na kayo na kung ano…. wag kayo magyabang..lam ko, isa din kayo sa mga sakit ng ulo jan sa sinasabi nyong universidad nyo…. “langaw lang kayo na nakatungtong sa kalabaw” kaya wag magyabang…..be honest..kagaya ko…lam naman natin na mindanao rules pa rin ….1.) central mindanao university 2.)mindanao state university(iligan) 3.)xavier university(cdo) 4.) ateneo de davao 5.) bukidnon state university 6.) mindanao state university(marawi) at iba pa… (p.s : d po yan sa number ha…yan lang talaga ang best skuls sa mindanao..and sa philippines )…

I liked your suggestion above, hehe ;p. Don’t you think the rankings will be turned upside down once the question becomes: where does the most corrupt people graduate? i guess the consistent number 1 slot above will be retained harharhar!

What an arrogance, there are only two universities in the Philippines, University ng Pagyayabang and others. As if they always top lcensure examinations all the time. The question is: which are the top universities, the Univesity of Pagyayabang will answer they are only the best, as if the only monkeys created in the Philippines.
To Danilo:
Nice Acronym! Benta! haha. Oo mayabang talaga UP pasensya na. Well we don’t top the licensure exams ALL the time but we do top it MOST of the time. Easy lang bro may basehan naman ang UP magyabang e. hehe
haaayy…dapat bang manlait para lang masabing magaling kau???walang accreditation kamo????cgurado ka ba???kc kaba2sa ko lng ng listahan ng mga skul na may accreditation galing sa CHED!!!cgurado ka bang nabasa mo lhat???
FYI lng!!!
EDUCATION, MEDICINE, LIBERAL ARTS AND COMMERCE ng FEU ay accredited level II by PACOCUA…
And Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance (IABF) ng FEU ay accredited level III ng FEDERATION OF ACCREDITING AGENCIES OF THE PHILIPPINES(FAAP), kya anong pinagsa2bi mong wlang accreditation??? d man kmi kacng galing ng UP pero d kmi bobo!!!! kya sa su2nod research muna kau bgo manghusga at magkalat ng kung anu-anong di magandang salita!!!!tapos sa2bihin ninyo mataas ang edukasyon ng university ninyo…oo, mataas nga ang kalidad ng edukasyon ng university na pinag-aaralan ninyo pero sa kasamaang palad nasa2yang lng yon dhil di nyo iyon ginagamit sa tamang paraan… Ang 22ong mgaling at matalino ay hindi manghu2sga at manla2it…
WINNERS COMPLIMENT, LOSERS CRITICIZE!
ngtest ako sa Up. mahirap ung math kc d nman ako magaling dun.. gling aqng science high school. ppsa kya ako?
pra skin un ung biggest question.. kc if ever, i’ll be the first in my generation na ppsok dun. me sore eyes p nga aq ng exam… sana pumasa ako!
Cno po bang me alam kung pano kinocompute ang UPG? (knkhbhan tlga aq)
Dear eagletmaroon, heheh bakit pinangalanan mo yung university? sila ba talaga yun?
Anyway, alam naman natin na we don’t like arrogant people di ba? mas maganda yung kahit me pinagmamalaki ka, humble ka pa rin.
Tanong ko lang: Ilan ba sa 3 o 5 na pinakamayamang pinoy ang galing sa pamantasang yan? sabi nila: words are cheap!!!
Di ba ang matalino marunong sumagot ng tama sa isang tanong. Sa tanong na: “alin ang best universities?” hindi ba ang sagot na hinihingi ay more than one?
E bakit ganun ang sagot nila? Dapat bang haluan ng yabang ang simpleng tanong? Katalinuhan ba ang sagot na yan?
The point is if you do not top the licensure exams ALL THE TIME that means you have no monopoly of intellectual graduates whether you get the 99% of the pie, you do not own the other 1% which means you can not claim the FULL honors.
Peace tayo ha.

Nagkakagulo sa dami ng kanilang center’s for Excellence and Development, at high profile sa academics and research. Di ito dinadaan sa commercial. Mas maganda pag non-stock non profit, Hindi yung sinasali sa Philippine Stock Exchange. OK
To Danilo:
Point well taken brother! Poin well taken. Sa mga karatig na unibersidad, hindi lang kayo ang nayayabangan sa UP and others na iyan dahil ako mismo na taga-UP ay nayayabangan rin. (mas lalo na kapag tinitira ng UP jokes ang Ateneo…high school alma matter ko rin iyon).
To everyone:
Wave your alma matters high. Every university has something to be proud of. Competition makes all participants better. Yeah
To ATENISTA:
I doubt if you’re a real Atenean, literally and metaphorically speaking. Ateneans are braggarts but they are not rude. (I know I am one) Or is it that you are just a transferee from another school? (perhaps).
Mga bagong salta talaga sa Loyola Schools maangas. Ika nga nila ang mga lumaki sa mababa at mataas na paaralang Ateneo pa ang hindi malaki ang ulo. Sa kabalintunaan na dapat ang mga matagal na sa Ateneo ang magmayabang ay sinasapawan pa kami ng mga salta…Seryoso lang mag-apologize ka sa FEU. Most points are true perhaps but don’t rub it in their faces in such a despicable manner.
PARTIDO STATE UNIVERSITY poh nangungunah……..ala ng iba!
totoo bang nataasan na ng de lasalle ang up at pang apat na lang ang up, second ang ateneo at third ang uste haha? Ayon daw sa recent survey ba’r something ng ched? haha dahil daw sa facilities hahaha it’s crazy .. .
tanong lang…
totoo ba un??
hehe
re: aug 14 post
the question is, so what if DLSU ranked higher than UP? I’m not saying that it did but the way you stated your question was, in a way, odd. I’m not sure if you really did base the ranks from an official or an authentic (credible) source. Furthermore, it seemed like you just wanted to cause another stir among the schools. You and your kind, over the years, proliferated in an air/purpose of further causing division among the UAAP schools (& others).
Honestly, I find it illogical for everyone to be arguing about such petty issues. School wars my ass! We’re making our pitiful country look all the more pitiful. SHAME ON ALL OF US!
Nakakasuka na tayo. leche. tama na asaran. in years to come, uulit lng to ng uulit. It has become a vicious cycle.
“Globally the University of the Philippines is ranked at 299. De La Salle 392nd. Ateneo de Manila 484th.
University of Santo Tomas 500th.”
Is this what we’ve got? what a SHAME? PATHETIC!!! Bakit ala man lang sila sa top 200? Lam nyo ba mga kababayan kung anong imahe meron ang mahal naming Pilipinas sa ibang bansa partikular na dito sa Toronto pagdating sa edukasyon? Lam nyo ba na meron akong nakasama na gradweyt ng UP Los Banos na nagbubuhat ng karton sa factory? How about DLSU grad na alang trabaho dito sa Toronto at binubuhay lang sya ng kanyang asawa na gradweyt sa isang maliit na school sa mindanao? Di pa naman ako nakaka encounter na nanny na gradweyt sa ADMU pero nandito lang sila sa tabi tabi. Just go to http://www.notcanada.com and you will have an idea what i am writing about. For an appetizer, just read one of the comments from a full blooded, thoroughbred canuck named christopher reynolds.
I find a lot of things about your website disturbing and not necessarily supported by facts.
Q: Why are these so called Engineers and PhD’s from Pakistan, Africa, and South East Asia not recognized, while degrees from Japan, England, some Chinese schools, and most of Western Europe are recognized?
Q: I notice your website does not try to make any parallels to the British immigration system, the Dutch immigration system, the German immigration system, the Swiss immigration system, the Denmark immigration system, the Norwegian immigration system, the Icelandic immigration system, the American immigration system, the Japanese immigration system. Why do none of these countries recognize foreign PhD’s and many other degrees from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Sub Saharan African Nations? Is it a plot by the Western world to lure PhD’s into their countries to work as cab drivers? Or does it have more to do with the fact that these countries do not produce the same quality of graduates as Western Schools?
Q: Why do the elites of India, Pakistan, Iran, Malaysia, Thailand, The Philippines etc etc, send their youth to get educated in foreign schools as opposed to domestic schools?
Q: Why are PhD’s and Engineers who are Educated in Western Schools held in higher esteem in India and Pakistan and a whole slew of other third world countries?
Q: How do Third World Universities do in the rankings of independent surveys on degree quality, curriculum quality, and non biased admission quality? (Most of the time they are not even ranked in the top 200 schools globally in their respective fields)
All of these questions point to the same logical answer… the quality of education and admissions in Western Schools far surpasses the quality of education and admissions in Third World Schools. I would not want an unqualified surgeon to work on my heart and I would not want an unqualified engineer to design a bridge that my children would commute to school over.
The fact is that these immigrants may be qualified to practice in their home nations, but they do not qualify to practice in our nation due to rigid standards that are in place to protect the public, not some global plot to lure low priced labour into our country.

Thanks, man. I kind of can’t wait for this inane exchanges and barbs flying from Morayta, Diliman, Espana and wherever the supposed best U are, to stop. Anyone out there up to the challenge to start identifying the schools where the famous (or perhaps notorious?) Filipino misfits studied?
to flipside,
i was workin in CA(massive of filipino) for 2 companies, and lot of tagalog there and i sick of it! they are mostly hambugero….thats why i moved here in OH as i got big offer when they call me if i’m interested. i did work in silicon valley….i never met UP

the instructors in our school teach us not to brag. bragging leaves ugly marks on your school’s reputation. I am a freshman student of MSU-IIT, dito na rin ako nag-graduate ng highschool. Maganda ang training nila dito, and healthy ang competition. our school produces good graduates and we are proud of our alma mater. you should also be proud of your own school no matter how small the name is. what is important is the values you learned and the character you developed. stay humble, DON’T BRAG.

*GULUHIN ANG MUNDO NG MGA MAGUGULONG UTAK*
i am from dlsu but i also studied in up-baguio for months. you guys might say that 2 months there is nothing. but growing up here in manila and studying there alon was troo hard not only for me but also for some of my blockmates. those 2 months taught me a lot of life lessons and i dont regret those 2 months.
i only took 3 entrance tests during that time (this was way back in 2004). i passed the upat and the dlsucet. in the up test as a lot of the students would tell you, it relatively easy as compared to the acet and the dlsucet (again i am speaking from my experience and the experience of my friends studying from other universities.). in the upcat, the test is there to test you, but your main enemy in this test is not the test itself but the other students taking the test as well. in the upcat, they use a quadrant system, where the top 10% of the batch goes to diliman, the the other students who pass are divided into the different campuses like manila, lb, baguio etc. so if you are an above average student and all the students who take the test with you are average or below average then you end up in diliman. Up gets the best of the best per batch.
whereas in the dlsucet and in the acet, the test is the main hurdle.
determining the best university in the philipppines is a very hard thing to do because if you read the thes rankings or the asiaweek ranking, the schools woll be ranked this way:
1.up
2.dlsu
3.admu
4.ust
but each school has its strengths and weaknesses.
UP-more than anything, up graduates have a firm grasp of the real world. they are not protected in any way. just look at their campus and u’ll see what i mean. for as long as i could remember UP has always been the top university here in the philippines and i believe that it is still the top university today. although standards might not be at par with other universities abroad, they make do with what they have. although during one FX ride i heard one hr employee describing the applicants that she saw that day, one thing that she pointed out was that up students are not that good in speaking english. i dont know if there is any truth to it but that was just one thing i heard.
The quota courses in UP are the courses which are hard to get into. so i guess those courses are the ones that UP excels in.
DLSU- when i transfered to dlsu, i wasn’t really fond of it at first, and my friends will tell you that “nilait ko” and DLSU. but now that i am about to graduate, i now realize what DLSU gives its students. the trimestral system subjects the students to pressure. although all universities subject their students to pressure, for us it is different, we only have 14 weeks to absorb everything, plus add the fact that our summer us shortened. and also each college has a different required subjects. in the College of business and economics, all students are forced to take accounting,law,economics, etc. in the College of liberal arts, they are forced to take philosophy, additional english, filipino subjects etc.
strengths of dlsu:
facilities(because our tuition fee is one of the highest. kaya dapat lang…)
Engineering
science
business courses
liberal arts
ADMU-they have a lot of core subjects and these subjects build the character of each individual. they have 4 philo and 4 theo subjects(correct me if i am wrong) which helps the students. they are also fluent in english but you will be surprised that a minority of these atenean do speak mind-boggling filipino. ateneo gives importance to student leadership, to stress this point, they even have a building which houses the organizations of the school(MVP-CSL).
strengths:
core subjects
business(JGSOM)
humanities
last but not the least: i am still a firm believer that graduating from a famous school/college/university is just an advantage and nothing else. it does nt determine who you are, or limit you to what you can achieve in life. the name of the university helps you but it does not assure employment. it is ultimately the student who determines his/her future. you are only as good as yourself. the school only helps you it does not determine who you are…
… … …
UST is the best……..

Tertiary schools in the Philippines are either colleges or universities. Colleges are tertiary institutions that typically offer one or a few specialized courses, for example, in Science or in Liberal Arts, whereas Universities are tertiary institutions housing several constituent colleges or institutes, each offering academic degree programs of a particular type (i.e., college of commerce, college of law, college of denstistry, college of education, etc.). All tertiary institutions, also called higher education institutions are licensed, controlled, and supervised by the Commission on Higher Education of the Philippines. Volunteer accrediting organizations such as the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) exist to upgrade the standards of higher education in the country.
Tertiary schooling in the Philippines is more cosmopolitan, with thousands of international students enrolling here, the vast majority of which come from United States, South Korea, India, Pakistan, and other European countries like Sweden and Italy. The number of American nationals applying for tertiary education may be due to the fact that the Philippines itself has a large population of Americans. Most Korean students are transients, studying for the first two or three years in the Philippines to have a working knowledge of English, and then transferring abroad to the United States for degrees, but many still complete their tertiary education in the country.
Noteworthy universities that enjoy national recognition of academic excellence include the Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University-Manila (DLSU-Manila), the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), the University of the Philippines (UP), and the University of Santo Tomas (UST). The Ateneo de Manila and UP-Diliman are in Quezon City, whereas DLSU-Manila, PLM, PUP-Sta Mesa, UP-Manila, and UST are in Manila. All, except for UP, PLM, and PUP, are private schools.
Other reputable universities are the Saint Louis University in Baguio City, University of the East, Far Eastern University and Centro Escolar University in Metro Manila, University of San Carlos in Cebu City, University of St. La Salle in Bacolod City, Silliman University in Dumaguete, University of San Agustin in Iloilo City, Xavier University (Cagayan de Oro), Ateneo de Davao University, and the Mindanao State University in Mindanao. Popular women’s colleges include Assumption College (Philippines), Miriam College, and St. Scholastica’s College.

hey think before you say something!
“UP(nyaks!…)” , “puro kagaguhan” or “tumakbo ng huba’t hubad”!
very NONSENSE comments! maybe from a nonsense person! how’d you know na puro kagaguhan pinaguusapan ng UP students!
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ‘COZ HINDI KA UP STUDENT!
up students talk about great ideas! and about acads esp pag dami exams.
sa UP natrain kaming magpakaTAO, tumanggap ng failure, maging responsible sa actions, maging leaders and to apply and pinagaaralan sa totoong buhay!
kaw d mo alam yun kc wla ka sa UP! stop bragging about UA&P wla naman dun eh kaya wag na pagtalunan! be proud of your school if you want pero PLEASE wag ka naman magTALKSHIT ng ibang UNIVERSITIES!
ang kapal mo pa sa lahat ng lalaitin mo ang UP pa!
congrats up, dlsu, ateneo and ust
about dun sa “tumakbo ng hubat hubad”! haha UP students lang ang makakaintindi ng SENSE ng oblation run! need not to be eplain plus hindi yun maabsorb ng MABABAW NA TAO.
As of March 2007, the Commission on Higher Education has designated UPLB as a Center of Excellence in Agriculture, Agricultural Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Communication, Forestry, Information Technology, Mathematics and Veterinary Medicine.

i don’t know why some people say there are only 4 univ. in the phils. They confined themselves in manila whreas there are quite a no of good schools w/c are located outside m manila. The most famous of w/c is a Siliman University. Passing perecentage in the board exams very hight, neXt only to UP Diliman (higher than ATENEO or UST)If you are in doubt you may verify with PRC.

Tama sila, magaling talaga ang UP… No. 1, no question! Most of our leaders in government are graduates of UP… I’m sorry [I'm just reiterating Sen. Santiago's observations], but many of our leaders in government are, all these years, corrupt and; they are good only in papers but not good in implementation… That’s what is happening to us!
Abante tyo noon, nangulilat na tyo ngayon. Pag naunahan tyo ng Vietnam, ano na tyo?
To all Ateneans who can’t believe La Salle is better than you now, just look at the facts please. Dont start with “i strongly believe” because no one cares what you believe, what matters is what is true.
guys… Let us not FORGEt U.P. Cebu…
It offers the best training for Business Management Students in the Visayas…
Last year, The Com. Sci. Division of U.P. Cebu got the “Center For Excellence” title from CHED… Pls. do not forget that…
In fact when it comes to management courses we are way better than the University of San Carlos…
for me the best parin xavier university and university of san carlos..likewise both are among the leading educational institution in the philippines (faculty-wise+research-wise) both made it to CHED’s list of excellent school in the country along with MSU
to RAffy
I belive youre right but youre source was quite outdated hehehe
SILIMAN has just been accredited level 3 by CHED. IT has 2 CE. USC HAS ONLY 1…… not really quite outdated, the passing percentage of CPA board exams last may 2006 of Siliman was 92% whereas that of UP DILIMAN was only 88%
To Roque,
“Abante tyo noon, nangulilat na tyo ngayon. Pag naunahan tyo ng Vietnam, ano na tyo?”
Aba, huwag kang mangamba ‘igan kung maunahan tayo ng vietnam..bagkus magpasalamat tayo at may bansang mangunguna na naman sa pinas dahil balang araw ay makakapagbigay ang mga vietnamese sa atin ng mga trabaho…napakarami ng mga university graduates sa pinas na pwedeng mamasukan bilang nannies, chambermaids, at factory workers (or sweatshop workers). magiging kaakibat natin ang mga vietnamese balang araw…kaya lang kung may japayukis sa japan …vietnayukis sa vietnam? sama ng tunog noh.
UP – beyond doubt is leading pa rin sa philippine schools
DLSU – engineering
ADMU – business, marketing, law
UST – medicine
though the Ateneo ranked 3rd, their graduates naman have a very low unemployment rate

aanhin ko ang ranking kung wala naman akong trabaho after..hahahah
go ateneo! one big fight!
Cebu Institute of Technology is the best in the Visayas and Mindanao!! USC?USJR? UV?They pirated our professors and made them Dean of Engineering in their respective schools.
hay nako, ano 22o namang ang pangetz sa FEU noh?! mataas na nga ang tuition eh, malalandi pa mga student, wla clang alm gawin kundi lumandi.. hay nako, kya wla kau nra2ting! haha!

The University of the Philippines is a no-doubt-highly-academic school in the country, having most of its students, if not all, intellectual. Matched-up with the excellent quality of education, students will really get the best of their abilities… Its main campuses are in Diliman, Los Baños and Manila. But it also has other campuses outside Metro Manila like UP-Baguio, UP-Miag ao, UP-Cebu, UP-Tacloban, UP-Davao, UP-Open University… University of the Philippines has equal standards on education with their campuses. It’s just that the 3 main campuses are relatively bigger in area and population, and is famous throughout the country. So to some who said that we should not forget about their UP-campuses, don’t you worry. You’re still a Upian… You aren’t different from those of Diliman and Los Baños. You’ll wear that tag just as all the Upians do… Makibaka! Huwag matakot! hahaha! Go Unibersidad ng Pilipinas!!!!!

oi no offense sa ako gi post hah!! I have nothing against SILLIMAN in fact I have a cuzn studying there and she really good in academics MOREOVER I CONSIDER SILLIMAN AS ONE OF THE BEST UNIVERSITIES HERE IN THE PHIL ALONG WITH MSU USC AND XU… we’re just being overshadowed by so called tagalog superiority heheheheheh!!!
to all the universities.. even if your from the top univesities or from the big four they say.. your school will be useless if your a god damn idiot.. i knew lots of people who study in DLSU and ADMU, .qui a juste de l’argent., in UST and UP, un cours facile ou pas un cours de cota.. im not trying to say any bad comments from those universities, its just that no matter how best your school is, if your just trying to be a smart ass, your nothing from the universities that wasnt even on the list of the top universities.. its not always in the school.. its more on the students.. it’s like planting a seed.. even if it’s the best soil, when it isn’t a good seed, the hell if it will grow the best, i doubt if it will even grow.. what im saying is stop being a smart ass and let’s do this outside! no.. seriously, your school is nothing if you have a pea as a brain.. Donc l’arrêt est des ânes intelligents et va à l’enfer !

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.
You may consider yourself KNOWLEDGEABLE, a member of a highly-reputive college/university.
But do you have the virtue?
Remember KNOWLEDGE without VIRTUE is NOTHING.

to Aaron, talaga lang walang paltos yang list of COE and CODs ha, hehe
fyi: to date, the University of San Carlos in Cebu the oldest school in Asia (it started offering college education only in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s though) has 2 COEs and 8 CODs! USC, I believe, is among the best outside Metro Manila, with MSU, XU and SU.
Aaron, may paltos ata yang COD/COE list mo. hehe. para maiba I’ll focus on provincial schools.
MSU has the most number among universities outside Metro Manila though (w/ the exception of UPLB), followed closely by USC and XU. The University of San Carlos in Cebu has the most number of COD/COE in the Visayas having two COE (Teacher Education and Chemistry) and at least 8 other CODs. Silliman has 2 COEs and 5 or 6 CODs.
Just a trivia: USC is the oldest school in Asia being established in 1595. USC started offering College Education only in the late 1930’s though. My parents studied there.
In terms of board and bar exams performance, SLU in Baguio is the best performer in recent years (2000-present). In 1991-2000 SU was the best perfomer, but I dont know what happened to SU’s performance in recent exams other than Nursing and Accountancy. USC, XU and MSU has overtaken SU I guess. Mataas pa rin ang respesto ko sa Silliman though. Ang dami kung pinsan jan na taga SU eh.
yah..you’re right daemon… go uste! we’re next to UP in terms of number of CHED’s Center for Excellence and Center for Development… UP has 34 … UST has 18… LASALLE has 15… AND ATENEO has 11…. hahahah..beyond the rest…………

In fairness to Ezekiel he’s stating what is true.. USC is a very good school. I remember when i was very young a debate was held here in cebu between UP DILIMAN and USC. That was many years back. Nice to hear the intellectuals from both schools say their words…The result, it was USC whon won the debate. So it means UP did not hold the monopoly of all the intellect… Kinsa bay di ma bright nga the oldest institution man ni founded in 1595 Colegio de san ildefonso ang name sa una taas kaayo experience. so let’s us not be so occupied with rankings, ched , paascu accreditation etc.. let’s us not be so confined in manila .. we think they are the only good or best. there are many univ. out there taht can perfom even better than schools in m. manila…
Many schools out of manila are good. Some are patterned after the IVY league of schools( Say IVY league: HARVARD U., YALE U., CORNELL U., U. OF PENNSYLVANIA, BROWN U., COLUMBIA U., DARTHMOUTH U. and PRINCETON U.) This is SILIMAN UNIVERSITY.
ops mali grammar ko ng english. it shud be let’s not
To Raffy,
A single debate does not explain that provincial schools are at par with manila schools. Most especially if your basis is just one school from manila and one school from the province. A school must be judged according to the consistency it shows.
To: popoy 13534:
well having said that na daghang kurakot na gikan sa inyo school maybe sa sobra nila ka bright nakalimot na sila sa ilang social and moral reponsibilities..
subo kaayong pamalandungon gikan man unta sila sa gi bantog og nag unang tunghaan pero unsa man ang nahitabo sa ilang prinsipyo?
i thought they’re idealistic? but they only serve for their own interest.. they have brilliant minds but where’s the heart? they have the ability but do they have the integrity??…
I pointed out some personalities maybe because im just too proud of my school.. can’t help it..
I LOVE MY SCHOOL!!!
I pointed out some personalities maybe because im just too proud of my school.. can’t help it..
I LoVe mY ScHoOL!!!
HOW DARE YOU TO SAY THAT THERE ARE ONLY 4 UNIVERSITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES???
wala nalng mi kwent diri sa VISMIN pag xure mo oi!
Why is it that most people in manila thinks that they can do better? Not just in the context of what school is the best but almost in all aspects…
to think the first and oldest city is CEBU and it’s in the coutryside meaning we’re ahead of you.. the only thing that hinders us from progress (although progressive man sad mi) is that the IMPERIAL manila focused it’s developments e.g. infrastructure, services, communication etc. in the Greater Manila Areas.. amp!
Cebu is more progressive than MANILA. mas develop nga lang manila bec it’s our country’s capitol but in terms of growth cebu is way ahead….
we must be putting down on provincial schools. let me remind you that if only given the financial resources these schools can easily outshine their manila counterparts… every year many schools in the province get higher board passing rate than in gma schools and this trend is very consistent. siliman u, USC, XAVIER U, st LOIUS U, MSU to name a few are at par with ateneo or UST. the only diffrence is that they are situated in the province. nothing more nothing less!!!!!
MGA TAGA MANILA MGA HAMBOGERO!! PA HAWD2X MURAG TAG-IYA SA PILIPINAS!!! GRABEH MAKA LOOK-DOWN OG MANG INSULTO SA MGA TA-GA VISMIN KILATAN PALANG MONG TANAN DIHA!! LOLZ
Realit Check!….
I have to admit, I was once a part of the many stereotypes from the province who thought that Ateneo was way better then LA SALLE. Na ang mga atenista matalino, magagaling, mayayaman at humble. Sympre sabi nila dati, ang DLSU-exact opposite, except for the “mayaman” part. Hindi ako nakapagtake ng ACET dahil nagkasakit ako. Nagtake din ako ng la salle at nakapasa ako. At oo nga pala, I took and passed UPCAT. My parents wanted me to go to La Salle (di kami mayaman may dad is just being practical kasi ECE ang course ko). So ayun, I went to lasalle thinking beforehand that I will not fit in, but then habang tumatagal yung mga kwento nugn hs ako.. Hindi naman totoo yun eh. True enough, DLSU has been accepting rejects from admu and up (tinanggap sila hindi dahil rejects sila nung ibang school, tinaggap sila dahil nakapasa sila ng DLSUCET) Now I post this question: What is wrong with that? Ang success ba ng isang tao nakabase lang sa isang entrance test? For those who keep on using that against DLSU.Cmon guys, you must be more intelligent than that. And so u think na yung mga tamad nung HS easy2 lang sa la salle. Just to inform you guys, sa amin sa engineering, kahit matalino ka pa kung tamad ka naman, wala rin, pag naiwan ka at di ka na makahabol, sory nalang.. kick-out ka. Do you get my point? DLSU gives these people a chance. No discrimination. Ako honor student ako nung hs pero irreguluar na ako.. And i dont even belong sa top 50 ng batch ko. Isang issue palang un.. Pero mejo tinatamad na ko magtype pero ang gus2 ko lang talagang marealize ng lahat ng tao na-we lasallians, are achievers for God and Country. We stay true to that whatever people say or do. We don,t need to bash other schools or shout to the world that we are the best just to disprove other people’s claims. So for those people like me before, open your eyes at wag basta2 magpapadeceive sa mga kwento. For the issue on dlsu being better than admu and vice-versa, sa blog palang na ito makikita mo na ang difference between ateneans and lasallans. Lasallians are proud of what they achieved so they talk about it, and nothing’s wrong about that they deserve it. Wala naman akong nabasa na La Salle post na minaliit ang kahit anong school (Ung ATENISTA I also doubt na taga-ateneo talaga un). Pro ung “mga ibang atenista” naman, nataasan lang ng la salle di na matanggap puro bash ang alam. Advice ko lang sa “mga atenistang ganun” sa mga forum na ganito , stop bashing make the term “ATENEO better than LA SALLE”, more than just a forum post. Andito ako para linawin ang mga bagay. Not to bring down another school, but to defend the institution i give much love and respect to. Animo La Salle!

pls behave when making comments on your posts. iF ALL OF YOU HERE ARE educated then it must reveal in the way you speak how you minced your words……. pls avoid slamming other schools if your beloved alma mater is good then fine… without saying bad things about the others. if you profess to be intelligent and wise then be so humble… just a piece of reminder
PUP is one of the best.. state university lang kami pero kaya naming makipagsabayan sa mga private schools. i have nothing against the big four but believe me.. PUPians can made it!
to van:
well i think they really are idealistic… and the problem is on how to apply those ideas… they seem to think just what utopia is… it will never be at hand. it will only remain as an idea.
(just like communism… it really is a brilliant idea by karl marx but real communism has never been achieved by any country for resources are scarce…)
back to our topic…
and i think everyone serves their own interests first… because first and foremost, no matter how they try to say that they want to be the president to serve the people, they just can’t deny the fact that their main priority is really power. and no matter from what school they come from, that’s human nature. an evil in us will really arise. someday, somehow, cruelty will come in mind. but it’s a matter of decision… something can be done with it. and you have that word,,, integrity. People in any position must have that integrity for us to see progress.
So the ultimate solution to this is having a leader who is also a man of God. and man here is in general. it can be a woman. i have to point this out because feminists group will really oppose me in this.
west visayas state university soar thy banner high…

USC? the oldest UNIVERSITY in philippine and in asia?? I know that the University of San Carcol was established in 1595..but as a COLLEGE only and not as a UNIVERSITY. So, I think, its wrong to say that is it the “oldest university”..it should be “oldest COLLEGE” only.
UST, on the other hand, founded in 1611-as a college. I think, it still deserved to hold the title “oldest university” because it was immediately converted to university since 1645.(compared to USC1948)…isn’t it??
..university of san carlos rather..sorry for the mis-spelled
SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY IS THE BEST SCHOOL IN THE ENTIRE PHILIPPINES FOR IT’S QUALITY EDUCATION OFFERED TO THE STUDENTS. IT IS THE OLDEST UNIVERSITIES IN THE ENTIRE PHILIPPINES. SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY IS THE BEST AMONG THE REST!!!!
SILIMAN oldest protestant univ. yata but not all the universities
Mindanao State University is one of the prestige universities in the PHILIPPINES because of its HIGHLY RECOMMEND EDUCATION!!
I am very proud of being an MSUans.
Mindanao State University is one of the prestige universities in the PHILIPPINES because of its HIGHLY RECOMMEND EDUCATION!!
I am very proud of being an MSUans… = )
USC 16 years older than UST whether college or university… USC, an offshoot of Colegio De San Ildefonso. USC a school from 1595, a UNIVERSITY since 1948. Siliman on the other hand is oldest protestant school.
To Xax, masyado na pong maraming school and may center for excellence in education and Philippine Normal University, Holds the best teacher education in the country.
University Of San Carlos is the oldest school in Asia..
located in CEBU CITY, the first and oldest city of the Republic of the Philippines..
USC is walking distance from COLON ST. the philippine’s oldest street..
Unsa pa lain old?? lol
how about Central Philippine University (CPU – Jaro, Iloilo City Philppines) guyz?..hehe one of the biggest baptist schools in asia..
hey!!.. how about Central Philippine University?.. located at Jaro, Iloilo City..
UNIVERSITY OF SAN CARLOS IS TRULY THE BEST UNIVERSITY IN VISAYAS AND MINDANAO and one of the best universities in the country based on coe’s, cod’s, boardpassers, and topnatchers!,why? because it offers the highest-quality education, and it gives to the students an education with a mission,.since it is a private-catholic school, this is also the most-disciplined university because the rules and policies are very strict,.USC is a school since 1595 and the oldest in asia and even older than HARVARD university,.
go carolinians!!
MAY WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE QUALITY EDUCATION TO THE WHOLE ARCHIPELAGO ESPECIALLY TO VIS-MIN. PEOPLE!!!!!
MSU, USC, XU, SU, ADDU,
e kung bkt b nman hind p ngng university ang mapua e,,, e d sana number one ang pinas sa buong mundo!!! go cardinals!!!!!! pero lilipat n ako pup!!1 go pup!!!
Epiphany…ang dami palang Universities sa Pilipinas. No offense, but some of the schools mentioned I never even thought existed. I wish every school can be acknowledged. Each school has its so-called “forte”, or a field where it excells. So Kudos to all Philippine schools.
Note: Nakakatawa lang iyong ibang line of reasoning sa forum na ito.
example: X University is the best because X university provides the best education…(the thought is so redundant…it’s the best because it’s the best??…labo…anyway, I would just like to point that out.
Anyways, despite everything said against FEU or to La Salle, I still respect these universities. The faults stated against them are GENERALLY TRUE but not ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Besides, there is no such existing institution without a fault. So I guess we all just have to accept these faults and improve on them.
I am an Illongo pero I did not study college in Iloilo. I know CPU is a good school, pero it did not excel much. It has no CE either. West Visayas State University and St. Paul University – Iloilo is better cause each has 1 CE. CPU is not that prominent in the PRC boards exams. While SPU-I is very recognizable in Nursing and WVSU in Education. It does not matter if it is the biggest university in the Region 6, what matters is if it EXCELLING (pero the truth is I did wish it to be one of the best school in Philippines). Sya nga pala it’s U.P Miag-ao with 1 CE and 2 CD is the best in Region 6.
we shoud be proud that pinoy are intelligent s2dent right??…

Huh… FEU although not as prestigious as the top schools, it does produce topnocthers in medicine, law, nursing etc. and successful alumni. many grduates have been successful in their fields of endeavor. For the record FEU once had a college dean who was a very prominent figure.. He was once the SEnate president, once the youngest dean of the philippines He topped the bar exams, his score was second highest in the history of bar (the score was 95++.) he is Jovito Salonga, dean of the college of law. no, I’m not from FEU. i just compliment the school.
USC… Talo naman ng CIT when it comes to Accountancy contests… Then u are saying ur the bEst???
van:
yes..it’s the oldest SCHOOL in asia..but not the oldest university in asia just what you’re saying on your previous post (last sep 3, 2007 at 12:59pm)

add me up sa friendster guys! i’m a UPian but i want some friends from other schools… thanks! irvin_binoy@yahoo.com………..
thanks guys! i wud love all of u to be on my list!
huh?! oldest universities? ilan ba lahat ang silliman sa pinas?
Silliman University was founded on August 28, 1901, making it the oldest American university in AsiaOriginally named Silliman Institute, an elementary school, it was established by Protestant missionaries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States and started through a gift from Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, a retired businessman and philanthropist from Cohoes, New York. He was an active layman in the Presbyterian Church. The school was thus named after him.
The school began with 15 male students, four long desks, two tables, and two chairs. The First President of the University, David Sutherland Hibbard of Lyndon, Kansas statute is in front of the CAP Building, Rizal Boulevard, Dumaguete. The first faculty was the Reverend Hibbard and his wife Laura. From 1901 to 1912, it was a boys school. In 1910, Silliman was given the right to confer degrees. In 1912, girls were admitted for the first time. In 1938, Silliman became a university, the first school outside of Manila to be granted university status…..
De La Salle is still the best.. lahat ng campus ng la salle are the best!! animo la salle!!
van, am i right with my clarification? do you agree?
colegio de san carlos was older than colegio de santo tomas BUT university of san carlos1948 was never older than the university of santo tomas1645
to guads
tanong ko lang po, meron bang COE at COD ang CIT? or any award from CHED?
as far as accountancy is concern anong place po ang pinakataas na naabot ng CIT sa accountancy board exams? i have nothing against CIT though… just asking….
to guads
anong contest po yun? when it was held? who are the contestants? i check ko lang po sa department namin..
if CIT is better school than USC well…. you are entitled to your own opinion.. but i guess it’s not the opinion but rather the reputation of the school..
peace!
congrats pala sa CIT may COE na sila sa information technology…..
ngayon ko lang po nalaman..
hoi mga taga cebu! ayaw lang pud mo ug away oi… magkaisa tayo..hehehe

last june i was planning to transfer in st. louis baguio for some reasons..but when i visited the said school i refused. honestly, it didn’t satisfy my expectations and i can’t imagine myself to be in that university..i’m scared especially on it’s surroundings..it’s located in a hilly place right? so i prefer to go back and stay in my present school here in manila..and i realized it’s more better compared to SLU
peace!
UE!!!!
ue!!!
PEACE SA LAHAT
to all:it’s better lang not it’s more better kc it becomes (superfluous)redundant to use double comparatives, d ba? transfer to instead of transfer in, correct me if i’m wrong…
some errors noted in some of the posts, use ” its” to show ownership like its prestige. its professors,,, not it’s professors. it’s is contraction of it is while its is possessive case of it.. ok ba huwag ma offended ha kasi nagkakamali rin ako sa mga grammar ko….
i think what makes this country even more ununified is because of “sinful pride,” as what G. Marquez calls it. If we started building walls between us, university students, then more likely philippines in the future could have been driven apart. I’m from UP and I guess it’s not worth our time battling to what schools are the best. “relax lang mga ‘tol”
wui…!!! mga fellow cebuano, relax lang ‘bai!!!
peace ta tanan oi!!!
NOHhhh DISCRIMIATION!!!!
add me up nalang sa YM:
meesh_cam_19902000@yahoo.com
watashiwa anata tomodachi desu?
coz’ i really love to be your friend.
the ‘better’ here is used as an adjective not as a comparative. if you translate that in filipino, it becomes ‘mas maganda/mas magaling/mas masaya. i didn’t used the exact word for it kc baka maoffend tga ibang school or it can cause damage esp. the school’s reputation. the “it’s” ya..i admit..i was just confused! about the transfer in..i think it is correct to use it kc your pointing to a place/giving a location..to or in or even at can also be used in the sentence..
i think mali pa rin to use more better kasi nga more is comparative degree then use another comparative degree better (better is comparative degree of good, right?)(more is comparative degree of much or many).. we can’t translate it to tagalog mas maganda bec mas maganda is more good not more better…it is safe to express it’s better not more better siguro sabihin natin MUCH BETTER … sige na nga….. peace! this is a small issue

First Honorable mention: U.P. Cebu…
Don’t know about the other schools… That’s all…
to kate:
hahaha…ur ryt, ganyan tlga facilities ng SLU baguio, im from SLU baguio BSN student but i transfered to UC-BCF(university of the cordilleras), may quota kasi ang SLU for incoming 3rd year BSN…haii if u compare these 2 universities mejo luma na facilities ng SLU, i dont even know where the money of the students go to…anweiz wer do u study now kate?
Hey Daemon!
Marami ngang Center of Excellence sa Education pero try to compare naman para malaman mo… Being the only state university who able to reach the level III accreditation.. ang layo diba?!

To Vael:
Pasensya na naoofend kc ako sa mga ignorant comments (even opinions!). PUP? TUP? PNU? Take PUP for example. In this year’s CPA board (May 2007), PUP (formerly the Phil. College of Commervce and supposedly should be strong in business courses) achieved a poor 28% passing only. Only 99 of its 349 takers passed. Yung sinasabi mong sikat pero bobo mga students: DLSU 77% (114 of 149), UST 70% (59 of 84). Last year (October 2006) was the same story, PUP had 28% when only 147 of 527 takers passed. DLSU got 57% (53 of 93) and UST 74% (159 of 214). Dont tell me mmas marami kc takers ng PUP compared sa dalawa. In this year’s Nursing board, UST achieved 98% passing (577 of 587 passed). Pag magaling ang school, magaling talaga regardless kung konti o marami estudyante.

I believe Van has the right to tag USC as among the best shool of accountancy

I believe the Polytechnic University of the Philippines deserves some credit. Kadalasang left-out ang PUP pagdating sa top universities sa pinas. Unfair naman yata yun. Hindi naman kasi basehan ang high tuition fees pagdating sa quality education no. Lagi nalang kawawa ang mga STATE U ng pinas particularly PUP. Kahit naman ganun ang PUP, maganda pa rin naman ang turo ah. Im just justifying my school. Oo, PUPian ako and I’m not being bias. Pero wag naman sana minamaliit ang school namin. Oo nga’t hindi kagandahan ang anyo, ngunit nahuhubog ang karamihan sa mga professionals sa school namin. Mahal na kasi mga schools ngayon, tulad ng UP. Dati pwedeng pwede pa ako mag-aral diyan. Sakto namang nakapasa ako, nagtaas na ng tuition fee. Hindi naman ako capable financially. Kaya nagPUP ako. But that doesn’t mean na bobo or incompetent ang mga katulad ko no. We are globally competitive and we are trained for REAL LIFE survival, much like other STATE U’s. And I for one does not speak for myself or only for my school. I speak for the millions of universities taken for granted and looked down upon. Di kami basta basta! We’re PUPians!

to kate
buti at hnd ka lumipat ng SLU bka pagsisihan mo,malayong mas mganda ang UST hehehe…physical infrastructure palang hehhehe,i always wanted to study at UST but i didnt take the USTET hehehe
“wag po nting kalimutan ang unversity of the cordilleras” it is one of the top institutions in the country weeee…
I’m a senior HS student (from a science high school). So much for those debates, ates and kuyas! Siempre, ang isang magandang university…tunya na maganda at performing…eh re2viewhin nang mga kilalang private mags, orgs and accrediting bodies (like THES, Asiaweek). Kung wala kau dun, sorry na lang. But xemps ulet, laging me exemptions. I took UPCAT, will take USTET, UA&P and umm.. basta. D namin afford ang DLSU at ADMU. Thank God sa sci high ako nag-aral. Me advantage!
Para sa aking it doesn’t matter kung sino 1, 2, 3 o 4 sa ranking ng universities sa Pinas. And layo naman nila lahat kahit sa Top 100 lang man.
Lasallistas and Atenistas (including myself) could argue endlessly about which school is better but in the end both universities would still fall far short of the Top 350. Ang layo nun. Can’t say either group could be really proud of that.
Anyways, my 2 cents on the whole ADMU-DLSU debate is this:
1) Both are good schools. Good profs, facilities and programs. Both produce good quality students.
2) Both schools have pretty high standards (although ADMU might be more selective in accepting freshmen) BUT both have cakewalk programs (yung madali lang ipasa). I know this for a fact. So please, if pinagyayabang mo na Lasallista ka or Atenista ka sana naman you were not getting mediocre or pasang-awa grades while enrolled in such a course.
3) Both have their share of financially-challenged scholars, rich people, brilliant students, slacker idiots, mayabang and humble, etc. etc. Meeting an intelligent, conceited and spoiled Atenista shouldn’t be taken as a cue to generalize the whole student populace as such. May iba dyan “humble” kunwari pero pag talikod ng kausap… naku!
4) Should it really matter when it seems like most people consider UP to be a clear number 1?
5) Why can’t we all just get along? My barkada’s got a lot of people from both schools. It can be done. Except during Eagles vs Archers bball games.
Eh, wrong spelling.
“Para sa akin*”… Kung meron pa, bahala na.
ahhhhmmm… wala lang.. post lang ako..hehehe… tama c ralph.. thank God at science school din ako nanggaling… no joke talaga, may advantage ang mga students na nag-aral sa science high school… halos lahat ng topic namin sa 1st year ay na-take na namin sa high school.. so to all graduating elementary students, go for science high schools… medyo mahirap xa pero sulit talaga! but it’s not a guarantee na sure ka nang papasa ha! you still have to study. and of course be humble…
but some high schools also have good training… and i can see it myself..some of my classmates that are not from science high schools are damn good students!
me myself came from a science high school, but i’m really having a hard time with math…hehehe… honestly lang… di bale malapit na rin matapos math courses namin…. yehey!!!
To xax, wow at least level 3 na ang WVSU, good for the school. I’m an Ilonggo naman e.

No doubt, this school’s are really prominent and has very good curricular offerings and offers many programs. I think this ranking is fair for the Category of the Philippines Best Universities
to guads:
I think you’ve not checked what the students’ course is. What you’ve probably encountered was just BS MANGEMENT students bec. we have no BSA in cebu. well, in fairness, they still had a fairfight with all the accountancies. that’s not bad
To MeEsh,
What do You think of me, Dumb? Am I that stupid that I wouldn’t know how to read the word which spells “A-C-C-O-U-N-T-A-N-C-Y”?
To MeEsh,
What do You think of me, Dumb? Am I that stupid that I wouldn’t know how to read the word which spells “A-C-C-O-U-N-T-A-N-C-Y”?
It was not a BS Management competition … The contest was held in USJR… U.P. Cebu just joined for the sake of joining… U know what they say, “U.P. Pride” but it was really an accountancy contest…
to Adrian and Guads:
Meesh isn’t that dumb eh! FYI, UP-Cebu is not offering any accountancy programme… Only Management programme… ok? And Management offers some accounting courses, in fact only very few, which means it is only a part of their programme and not their major field… by the way, the Course in UP means Subject and Programme means Course… Since Guads just stated about the “U.P. Pride”, let me expand it more… If management students of UP-Cebu joined that certain accounting contest, and won 2nd place, how much more if they were Accounting Students??? am i making any sense here?
now tell me how can there be an Accountancy student of UP-Cebu in that contest, where in fact UP-Cebu is not offering such programme?
I know that contest GUADS!!!
It’s not an Accountancy contest. It’s a FINANCE Competition (The ICFC or Inter Collegiate Finance Competition). CIT won last year’s edition. UP-Visayas, USJR and Silliman were runner-ups and made it to the national finals.
USC did’t made it to the finals for the first time last year. In fairness to USC, they won almost all of the earlier editions.
For me the best university in the country is UST! hehe. Maybe because i belong and everybody is entitled to his/her opinion as long as he doesn’t offend anyone. Either way the thread says OPINIONS ABOUT PHIL BEST UNIV. Meaning, its 100% pure opinion. The reason i said theyre the best because i guess they have good sport programs and acads as well. just want to make a point to some, correct me if i’m mistaken that UST just got almost all UAAP overall championship because ‘panu di mag-ooverall e lahat cnalihan nila’ – i think its just tantamount to saying that ‘ang di pagsali o walang maisali ay kaparehas na rin ng pagkatalo? Di ba? Dont expect a trophy nor respect if you dont strive hard for it’. another one is, Major in sports, minor in acads??? the school have already proved itself (COE, passing rates, topnotchers). Sorry if you may find it offtopic but i guess it would still be under why your school the best. just same with everyone here proving to the world that they have the best alma mater in the Phil. hehe.peace
go uste!
Hahaha. sorry for establishing an egocentric response. why cant we conclude this by saying ‘Our school is one of the best rather we are the best’. Believing in the latter would be a proof of one’s love for his school but it would just promotes crab mentality among schools. Do you think Harvard would argue that they are the best over Princeton or Yale? I guess it would be a waste of time for them. they’d rather study to become better rather pull others down. Let competition be bound within you. peace. sorry for my previous post.
yeah i agree with viva la liga el tomasino… it’s about our opinion on what is the best university in the philippines… but there are some categories that we can notice that gives the guidelines on how to choose the best universities in the philippines. Like for example the number of COE’s and COD’s… then there also are the results of board and bar exams… then the number of Phd’s in the certain university… and the list goes on and on…
so we can’t really say who the best is because somehow the rankings based on these factors change from time to time… but there are also schools who always stay on top of their forte… they maintained to grab the number one spot…and maybe, by combining all these factors we can conclude who got the highest number of 1st’s, thus making it the number one university in the philippines…
Silliman University!
wohooo!!! champion ang UP sa 2007 UAAP Cheerdance Competition!!!!!
1st runner-up: UST
2nd runner-up: FEU
congrats sa lahat!
well….i just wanna add up…
sana nman.the whole MSU system (not only iit and marawi) will be givan a break.MSU-IIT has been producing a lot of good quality students….the only thing is, nde kami nabigyan ng enuf attention. nde,naman sa KSP kami, ang gusto ko lang ay kikilalanin ng mga tao ang MSU…masakit kasi purket nasa mindanao kami, eh puro digmaan na ang iniisip…sana lang, MSU should be given into consideration especially when it comes to job opportunities….
nde namn kami mag claim na kami ang BEST…we just dont need any words to prove our WORTH….we only got one thing in mind, and that is to live up to the standards that were given to us by our ALMA MATER….
hehe…nag drama bai…ATOT…..
ay uu nga pala…congrats sa UP, UST, at FEU sa cheerdance competition kanina…ung crush ko kasi nasa UP pep squad…hehe..galing nyo…
Vael:
You forgot to include PLM Pamantasan Ng Lungsod Ng Maynila. This is a state university with very low tuition much like your school. Has a high board passing rate though the school doesn’t have COD or COE. Ang hindi nga lang kaaya aya sa school is its facilities they are outdated na and it lacked financial support from government. iwan ko ngayon kung nagimprove na and facilities ng school.This is the school where i was from. But you would probably wonder why i kept on defending or promoting Vismin schools as SILIMAN, USC, MSU etc. in many of my posts hum… kc BISDAK( bisayang dako) kasi ako. sige Let’s support them para mapasok din sila sa THES or whatever rankings at lahat na rin ng schools. Remeber that good schools shud not be concentrated in one area but must be spread out throughout the country much like that in Thailand, INDONESIA U.SA. etc.
University of the Cordilleras!!! -Were not claiming we are numver 1 but were 1 of the best weeeeeeeee!
umm sorry “number” not “numver”….haii typographical error…
Popoy…
U.P. Cebu only offers a minor in accounting subject… I know that okay???
Yeah. Congrats sa UP. they really deserve it. hehe. From the bottom of the hearts of the Thomasians, we want to congratulate you for a job well done. take the bragging rights of the year. hands down. For those who didnt enter the top 3 or for FEU that i guess was disappointed about the outcome, hehe, always stood up to the challenge. peace!
Banga ang UP, mga gagong activista kayo!… ADMU na lang, maspeaceful ang environment compared sa mga fraternities ng UP. its not only education that matters, its also the environment, dUH!
CIT is a good SCHOOL but some schools can do better…
este some UNIVERSITIES rather, My mistake!
PEACE!!!!!!
tuition ng pup pang load lang ng dlsu, pang drinks lng ng admu
sabi ng pup s dlawa finals nyo…
quizz lng nmin…
HAHAHAYYSSSS!!!
PHILIPPINES BEST UNIVERSITIES ang main topic right?? nakalimutan ko hindi pala university ang CIT tsk!tksk! sana hindi na pinatulan…
kasali ba???? PEACE!!!
to miki
hahaha! yan lang masasabi ko sa comment mo…
sana naman huwag mo i-generalize na gagong aktibista kami dahil hindi lahat sa amin ganun…
Medyo liberals nga yung Upians, but we’re the ones who make things happen.
well juz want 2 congaratulate UP dey won d UAAP CDC..also 2 UST and FEU!!!!
U’ve done great guys…
parang FEU,UP,UST lang naglalaban sa Cheerdance Competition..
cguro ung basis nyo ng top school is ung cod or coe… pero tingnan nyo yung board performance ng mga school na my ganitong recognition..mataas ba? eh talo pa sila ng mga feu.anf feu pumasok sa top performing school like medicine, med tech, cpa.etc..eh tong mga my mga coe o coe kuno…ang ateneo 2 lng nman napasukan eh chemist tsaka law…un lng..tska ung record na basis nyo is from 2001 to 2005 try to look at the record from 2005 to present..were feu change the policy and education were the former president edilberto de jesus doing nothing….atenista un eh wlang kwenta…mag isip nga kau ng mga sinansabi nyo do not based on the past performance.. try to look at the present performance of the board exams…kya kayo mga atenista d lng kau mayabang ignarante pa…ano ba pinagmamalaki nyo ala nman ah
law lng…business course were on at par….talo pa nga kau palagi sa business plan compitition eh..ung mga school na may coe at cod binigyan cla ng ganun recognition is becoz of there performance sa board exam several years ago. pero ngaun hnd na nila na maintain ung passing rate nila sa board…im bias coz i graduated from feu last 2005 and on going ung MBA ko sa International Academy of Management and Economics…..one thing..try to comapare the puclic servant who graduated from up,ateneo or even la salle and ust….most of them lalo na ung mga up at ateneo ay bulok ang systema ng pamamalakad sa gobyerno…si brion ng dole na grad ng ateneo compare nyo sya kay former sec sto tomas ng feu…eh halos lhat ng problema sa dole ngaun…..un lng….kya tumahimik na kau kasi ung bases nyo is from 2001 to 2005 were i accept the fact that feu did not perform well during that year… try to based the performance from 2005 up to present para matahimik kayo……un lang
eh halos lhat ng coe at cod nyo eh sa engineering eh….ang feu nagreopen ng engineering last 2005 i think….
i challenge those school who have coe and coe ung mga course nila….compare ur board performance sa performance ng feu…try to go to Philippine daily inquirer board exam result..dun ung board performance ng bawat school….wag kaung mayabang dahil my coe or coe kau….
congrats sa UP! babawi kami next year..hahahaha!:)
To Blukinight:
Isang bagsakan din ng UP at Ateneo ang PUP. Tumira ka ng iba kung meron kang ipagmamayabang. Check the PRC board exam ratings.
To Blukinight:
Isang bagsakan din ng UP at Ateneo ang PUP. Tumira ka ng iba kung meron kang ipagmamayabang (in your school’s case I think you are on the losing side). Check the PRC board exam ratings and see that UP-Diliman is number 1 and ADMU is number 6 while PUP is a mere number 15. You can insult La Salle because they only ranked number 16. By the way that insult originated from UP. It actually started as “UP to Ateneo and La Salle: Finals niyo homework lang namin!”. Mang-iinsulto ka na nga lang, kumuha ka pa ng insulto ng iba. (rage? haha)
Patawad ulit. Ayaw ko lang ng mga nagyayabang ng walang pinaghuhugutang basehan. hehe. If ever you have the urge to brag, be sure you have the credentials to do so.
to pits:
sorry to argue about some misunderstandings but the COEs and CODs are just again one of the many factors that would tell you that it is one of the best schools. the difference is we can tell that it may be superior to the other factors because they undergo accreditation and intense studies if they are worthy of the so called ‘title’. For your info, these COEs and CODs also expire. example of which is when a school doesnt maintain his COE (board exams, way of teaching, etc.) then it will be taken away from the school making it COD then if things still goes worse remove the identity. Hence they must maintain it. Another one is when you said that lets compare it to the present and not from 2001-2005, this is another mistake. CHED or other survey-related organizations do not act hastily to arrive at certain conclusions. what they want to see is CONSISTENCY. thats why some studies release outputs every 5 years or even 10 years or even only once. Maybe your school is better today from these COE colleges but it would still be studied not annually but in a series of years. you cannot say that one time school#1 garnered 52% passing rate then got 90%. on the same situation, a COE school#2 got 92% then got 88%, then school#1 can claim he’s better? thats a big NO. numbers may fluctuate. let the professionals do their job. to become a number 1 school for example (undoubtibly UP), they must topped if not all, most of the factors i’m talking about. About the secretary and the business competition, they are maybe just 2 of the thousands of factors. hehe peace!
As what I said before… U.P. Cebu joined that contest for the sake of “U.P.. Pride”… Of course… as UPians, they have to prove that they can also win even though it’s only a minor subject to them…
I think that’s one of the factors that made U.P. one of the best universities in the Philippines…
to pits again:
Compare? don’t stick to one source (board exam result for just one year or two). Challenge is good but with nothing to prove – its just pure trashtalk. I think its their right to boast their COE’s but its their responsibility to maintain it.
gumanda nga performance ng FEU at 82% medicine is quite impressive, at 44% passing of cpa is highly commendable considering the low national passing rate. We shud learn to appreciate one’s performance instead of trying to pull them down. in this way we can share other’s victory…bolster their morale..parang victorious na rin tayo. Anyways, highways my alma mater scored highly at 89% PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MAYNILA.
to PUP 28% (ranked third pa nga ito in its category)CPA passing is not that bad kasi ang dami ko nakitang schools garnering 0% passing rates or walang pumasa ni isa. but we have to strive to improve the ratings next time around lalo na yung mga 0% schools. cge huwag nga kayo mag away dyan no, cheer up!!!!!!!
Based on the PRC’s release of best performing schools, again PUP’s rank at 15th is so high considering the hundreds and hundreds of schools, universities and colleges scattered throughout the land, others may perform better but it’s position is worth a million praise. DLSU’s rank at 16th needs improving considering the school’s standing in THES but it doesn’t give us the right to insult the institution. This is prestigious inst. with high tech (exceptional) facilities….It is noteworthy that Siliman Unversity of Dumaguete soar highly at 4th place the best performing school outside of the UP system, outdoing even ATENEO or UST. Other exceptional schools are UNIVERSITY OF SAN CARLOS of cebu, xAVIER UNIVERSITY, Mindanao State UNIV., St LOUIS Univerisity. My beloved Alma MAter PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MAYNILA is at 9th place. the escolar ng Bayan must have exorted all the energies to be on top. For FEU you must maintain your good board standing. I expect you to be on the league soon. FOR the complete list pls see below rankings of schools based on all the board exams conducted for the last ten years.

to viva la liga el tomasino….
as what i hav mention from last message ko that feu did not perform well during 90’s..becoz i notice that the study of prc based from that year…one thing is feu is a corporation tumatangap ang feu b4 kahit hnd competent ang student sa isang course kaya mababa ung percentage namin though my mga nagta top sa board…ayoko na sabihin ung recent development ng feu…kaya ko nasabi na magbased nlng muna ung mga nagcocoment bout feu ung sa performance from 2005 up to present..kasi nagsisimula plng kami….
anyways…dapat lng na kaung mga matatandang school meron na kau nyan lalo na ikaw na tga ust…mag 400 na kau sa 2011..nakakahiya nman cguro na ala pa kaung ganyang recognition..same thing with ateno, la salle, up…kung sa bagay we are proud of what we achieved for 79 years…un lng..
to atenista
you have mention that kahit sa panaginip mo hnd mo pinangarap na mag aral sa feu…sabihin ko rin sau na kahit sa huling buhay ko di ko papangarapin na magaral dyan sa ateneo mo n yan…
my dad is an atenista but he sent me to feu rather that ateneo ayoko na sabhin kung bakit….its not bout the money nor the location etc…kaya wag ka magmayabang dahit kahit atenista ka wala ka parin…
i worked as an accounting associate sa isang company dun sa ortigas and i decided to resigned last june…dun my nag apply na ateneo grad he is management engineering bpero hindi sya tinangap perhaps tga feu din ang pumalit saken he is mathematics grad…kaya wag ka magmayabang sa school mo…tsaka dapat lng na my coe at cod kau ksi sing tanda nyo si jose rizal…wag mong i compare ang feu sa ateneo kasi we established 1928 and nagoperate after world war 2..kya masyado kau atrasado to gain recognition ang achievements….un lng my comment ka….
to raffy..
that ranking released by prc was 5 years ago hnd recent yan….
tsaka pansinin nyo ung my mga coe and cod..mostly are public and sectarian university…
to atenista..
ung panlalait mo d ko tlga palalampasin…
kasi parang no;ait mo narin ung mga prominent alumnus ng feu eh…
sino ba pinagmamalaki mong grad ng ateneo na public servant ngaun..eh halos lahat palpak sa serbisyo eh….sayang lng ang pasweldo sa kanila ng mga tao…
To raffy: Luma na po ang rankings na yan from PRC. Ito na ang bagong Top five (to lang ang naala based from 2001-2005.)
1. UP Diliman
2. UP Los Banos
3. UP Manila
4. st. louie university (slu)
5. university of santo tomas(ust)
well, thanks for the update but i guess i mentioned the record as good for ten years……..you may keep a record for your perusal, and importantly i’d rather keep myself as being friendly at all times not bashing any schools but coming to the defense of the opressed, drama!
DAEMON:
daemon,
would you pls provide a list of top twenty instead of 5 so we can compare with the previous rankings?
I have read it somewhre, I can’t remember where.
The new rankings (for 5 years 1999-2003 or 2000-2005 ba yun) released by PRC:
1.UPD
2.UST
3.SLU
4.UPLB
5. XU
DLSU, ADMU,USC, MSU and PLM complete the new top 10. Im not sure of the order though.
the prc rankings doesn’t consider the bar exams results. the ff are the top schools based on recent bar exams:
1.ADMU
2. San Beda
3. UPD
4. ADDU/USC
5. UST
to pits:
yes we’re old and well established and we’re proud of that. but its losing the point. i guess 79 yrs is fair enough. do you think UST has that much progress during the Spanish times? I think no. The real “progress” started after world war II same with you when different colleges and univ started maybe they were beginning or rehabilitated from the war. so I guess no need to argue especially that as you have said you are a corporation(fast-earning) unlike the Big4 (which are sectarian and a government-based) on which progress is often filtered. i hope you get what i mean. (ex. UP since government-based doesn’t really got that much support to improve, ADMU and DLSU which only got so much progress due to their powerful alumni. if you would go to DLSU or ADMU, almost all infrastructures are named after people bec. they were the alumni who support in building these things, about the plan of UST 19 storey hospital tower which was banned because they say it will make UST hospital commercial-centered).well i just raised some points. no need to argue though. peace.
ok…noting to argue about that..i hope that you guys will not jeopardize the reputation of one’s school….especialy atenista…mayabang ka talaga…
one thing….your posdted rankings is just the number of coe and cod but not the ranking of of schools performance of board exams….

it would be better if the comments in this forum be written in such a way as they could be understood… i mean to say the words should be written in full not the abbreviated ones as if they were written in cell phone SMS for text messaging. it’s like writing a correspondence. i think it’s appropriate since we are making a comment for THE PHILIPPINES BEST UNIVERSITIES… ehem just a suggestion
naka silent mode MSU Marawi.
hellow to all, I am very lonely sometimes when my university(the Pamantasan ng lungsod ng muntinlupa) is not popular among other universities in the metro, But I guess Its a great university offering quality education to the filipino youth, Go on PLMUN someday magiging kalevel din natin ang UP La salle, at ateneo, go go go
for me the Pamantasan ng lungsod ng muntinlupa, humanda kayo at papalitan na sa trono ang UP ateneo at lasalle,
hahaha! Go Unibersidad ng Pilipinas!!!
La Salle, UP, UST, ADMU
best universities out there
Semester is going to end soon and I plan to transfer to those choices I’ve written above.
Ofcourse meron din iba pang magagandang university dyan, But those I’ve mentioned already has their name engraved as “bests.”
i know not so smart people or got low average grades back in high school who got into UP. Some got their through connections. Others, by transferring, so and so forth.
Students who study at DLSU are impressingly intellectuals. They are really good in math (well, of course it’s a business school, you should be good in math). Name it accountancy, financial managment, business management and others.
However, admu is adept in humanities and law. in acet, they get 60% of ateneo high school students and 40% from other schools.
plus, I know people who are not so rich who are studying in admu and dlsu.
let us not stereotype.

Go for UP…hehehe… ang bias ko
anyway since corporation ang feu….we are proud that we granted the ISO certification..that means that the quality and standard of education that we have are competitive internationaly…ano ka atenista meron ba kau ISO….sa panaginip mo lng my ISO ATENEO….we are now ongoing for ISO 9002 CERTIFICATION….
na share ko lang sau kc my coe at cod kau eh…hehe
Honestly don’t you even bother to wonder why this Tiny University they called MSU- IIT ranked 5- 8 (whatever) when they are just silent about it. Siguro you haven’t seen one. Well to tell you honestly, We dont have a WORLDCLASS LIBRARY OR MUCH OF YOUR BRAGGED FASCILITIES… we are poor! oh God help Us! Yung mga boards and chairs sira- sira yung iba kinakalawang…. yung books namin ….ALL DONATED! Shocking! Pero dont be…. I wonder kasi bakit yung mga parents outside Industrial City of Iligan ( as far as Davao) are sending their children here….?
at nung nag enrolled na ako…. dun ko nalaman….. Its not the fascilities or stuff that matters… Yung utak pala ng estudyante….. siguro hardworking lang kami…. kaya we mostly if not always ranked top among examaminations…. Yung mga faculty…. kung ilalaban ko ang taga DLSU AT ATENEO… ewan ko nalang! Pero yun nga lang we kept silent about it because the government is not paying much attention to us…. alam nyo ba… we are not at par with your budgets? Sus kopo, yung ngang computers namin…. dated 1980’s pa! Tinitiis lang naming gamitin! Yung mga books naku mostly Donated! Pero yun ngalang magaling magturo ang mga faculties at ang mga students dito isa lang ang alam…. Day and DAy…. walang tulugan… yung iba hindi na naliligo o nagsusukaly, matapos lang ang reports at projects…… Ito ha…. Hindi ba kayo nahihiya …BIG FOUR ET AL… ang gara gara ng school nyo but still low parin ang ranking ninyo…. eh paano nalang kung meron kami ng meron kayo…. Tingnan ko lang…… atsaka ito ha TRIVIA: PAG HINDI NATANGGAP SI UP CUMLAUDE SA INAAPLAYAN NYANG TRABAHO, SINO ANG NEXT PRIORITY! BUT OF COURSE KAMI!… but i dont hold a grudge on you, it’s reality UP as of now, IS THE NO.1 but ang No. 2, I dont think you deserve it………. Sukatin natin sa employment rate….
Konting clarifications lang:
Xavier University’s OFFICIAL name is:
XAVIER UNIVERSITY – ATENEO de CAGAYAN
(XU-AdC) 1933
Yup… we are blue-blooded Ateneans (oo… not Xavierians… Xavier School Yun). And minsan, na-leleft out kami na part sa “Ateneo family” kasi sa name namin… but we got used to it na… Atenean or taga-Xavier, oks lang.
Paano naging Xavier ang Name?
During the 50’s there was a move to change Ateneo de Manila to Loyola University. (I-ch-change ang name pag naging university ang AdMu during the time). Syempre, anong sabi ng Manila, fo-follow lang ang ibang ateneos(zambo, naga, cdo and dvo)
Why Loyola University? Siguro mas Jesuit ang Sound ng Name… sa ibang bansa kasi, mas madaling maidentify ang school na under Jesuit Admin pag ang name may “Jesuit” na words such as : Loyola, Xavier, Ignatius, etc.
So, there… it was not yet official but the other ateneo colleges were aware of it.
1957. Ateneo de Cagayan became university. It was the 1st Jesuit(Ateneo) University in the Philippines and the 1st University in Mindanao.To this, they change the name to Xavier University, hoping that Ateneo de Manila will soon change to Loyola University.
1958. Ateneo de Manila became university… and decided not to change the name… retaining Ateneo de Manila. So XU was left behind with the name…
There were moves of changing the name back to Ateneo de Cagayan Only… but, that means paperworks and other things…
Soon, as the other Ateneos became universities, walang nag-change ng name…
Well… that’s history… but sa amin diri sa XU, oks ra kaau ang XU na name! We may not be the #1 sa phils, but at least , pumapalo pa rin…

AMDG
Huy, I have another feed… I heard it from an Insider sa San Carlos U…
Jesuits pala ang unang nag-establish ng San Carlos University! It was a parochial school made by the Jesuits… Jesuit mission area pala ang Cebu sa una… kasama na ang Iloilo, Misamis, Zamboanga, Bukidnon at Davao. Sa una pala ang daming Ateneo schools sa pilipinas… Ateneo de Tugegarao at Ateneo de San Pablo…. but nawala din…
there was a point in history na ang Jesuits e pinaalis sa mga mission areas (excommunicated, or exiled yata)… So binigay nila ang San Carlos to a group of religious order na nakalimutan ko…
Anyway, I just heard it…
To POPO_XU:
At nga pala… Xavier U pala ang pinakamayaman na Ateneo School? Is that True? May nakausap ako na Jesuit, sinasabi nila na mayaman ang XU kasi maraming properties sa Cagayan de Oro na binenta makailan lang (ginawa yatang Xavier Estates? tama ba?). Kaya pala siguro mababa ang tuition dyan sa inyo, Popo. May isang ateneo na pinahiram ng XU for their building, di ko lang alam kung anong ateneo… but nagtutulungan naman daw ang mga ateneo schools…
Sana ganun din ang school ko… pero walang sister school ang school ko…
To Pits:
Sa sobrang ‘asar’ mo sa Ateneo (or Atenistang nagpost dito), mukhang irrational ka na mag-reason. Honestly, FEU pales in comparison with Ateneo. NOT even worth the comparison. FEU’s performance and quality is only comparable with UE. I just hope FEU really wakes up now and start to improve soon.
For me, the BEST STUDENTS go to or are filtered at: UP (Diliman/LB/Mla/Tacloban/Iloilo), Ateneo (Mla/Davao), UST, Silliman, MSU (IIT/Marawi), DLSU, SLU. Sumusunod na rito ang USC, PLM and Xavier U. Most COEs and CODs are awarded to these institutions (except for PLM who hasn’t got one yet) and correspondingly reflects consistently in their very high board exam perfomances. Kaya the COEs and CODs are relative to the school’s board performance (although not so true with DLSU kasi pang-16 lang sila dun sa list above).
To those who come from the Big 4 (UPD/DLSU/ADMU/UST) and the next Biggies (UPLB/UPM/Ateneo-D/MSU-IIT/MSU-M/SLU/SU/USC/XU):
You knew you belong to the best educational institutions of the land. UP? Ateneo? DLSU? UST? Sus! Wala na dapat sabihin. No need to brag about it. Hayaan nyong mag-explain yung iba na wala pang napapatunayan. Para tuloy kayong insecure or not so sure na magaling ang pinasukan nyong unibersidad ;p. Tsaka bragging won’t do anything good. It only promotes chaotic exchange of opinions like this post which has been actively running for so long already….
SA PALAGAY NYO SINO AND NUMBER 1 UNIVERSITY SA MINDANAO IIT, XAVIER O ATENEO DE DAVAO, O UP MINDANAO
SORRY, IISA LANG PALA ANG XU AT ATENEO
i’ve experienced studying in up, pup, admu and dlsu.. i’m just wondring about the comments kasi base on the reputation i think naririnig ko rin ang UE and CEU. dami nila kasing center for excelence and center for development, tahimik nga lang un 2 schools na yun..
4 me TUP ang da best when it comes sa technology but my dream skul is UST, DLSU at HARVARD basta as long as nasa top best producers ng mga graduates masaya ako bsta nangunguna ang PHILIPPINES…. MABUHAY PHILIPPINES
it does not neccessarily follow that the best go to UP, or Ateneo, It’s just that they filter /screen the best. this is the reason why we can find topnothcers from not so known institutions like… X UNIV., X intl school and X business School etc…. how i wish all the comments in this forum could be posted in a way that’s fair enough to all schools, colleges and univs.
to otin
you know you can’t compare FEU to UE…hnd mo rin kayang patunayan that feu is at par with ue….any way so far we have 1 CODE and thats our I.T course…..isa plng yan, hayaan mo dadami yan…tsaka nasabi ko na before that feu is a corporation at sinasabi ko lang na ISO kami..think pareho lng ung recognition na yan sa cod or coe…international pa nga yan eh…tsaka si atenista kasi hindi nagiisip kc bobo cguro yan..alam mo kong bakit?basahin mo lahat ng comment nya then analyze….
anyway ala rin ako pakialam kung sang lupalop ka nagaral..amg saken lang RESPECT lng…
tsaka hindi rin naman consistent ung board performance ng mga nabanggit mo eh….
sabi mo nga just like to PLM na kahit ala sile cod/coe they have good standing in board exams…un lng..
tsaka meron ang FEU na ala sa ATENEO…VICE VERSA kaya patas lng….
to otin..
siguro ung coe/cod is just like with you earned the MBA OR PhD degree….kc maganda record mo pag meron ka nyan but the thing is..competitive kaba?…marimmi my degree na ganyan pero puro yabang lang….parang ganyan din ung ibang school na may mga cod/coe…hehe
to APOLLO 11..
None of the above!!! Because only MSU-Marawi is the BEST and STANDARD University in MINDANAO! Asus, yang sinabi mong manga UNIVERSITY ay sisiw lang sa amin dito sa Lanao.. Tzk’tzk.. La nga akung masyadong nakikitang or naririnig man lang na naka PASS sa Board Exam dun sa sinabi mong manga university… :p
To Apollo 11:
Super bilib ako sa board performance ng MSU-IIT. Parang UP-Diliman ang lintek na MSU na yan hehehe.. Para saken, the best universities in Mindanao, in this order: 1. MSU-IIT, 2. Ateneo-Davao, 3. Xavier U. Ang tatlong to very consistent. I’d like to think na ka-level nila ang Big 4. On the other hand, tae UP MIndanao, parang UP-Cebu hahaha! Sorry for the words, no offense meant
To Pits:
Depende sa school yan. Pag UP, mayabang talaga yan kasi pinalaki sila ng slogan na ‘Matapang, Matalino.. Di Takot Kahit Kanino’. Madalas nakakainis asal nila. Ang Lasalista may image din na mahangin although di naman talino at tapang ang pinagmamalaki nila. Di ko lam kung ano. In fairness, I have plenty of friends who graduated from DLSU but very down-to-earth and humble. Ateneans should be humble kasi they’re trained to be ‘Person for Others’. Ang mga Thomasians naman mababait at simple. Wala na ko masabi eh, have a great day na lang!
Far Eastern University-East Asia College has one COD, which is IT. I know FEU (by this time) cannot level with the four best schools (kung COE/COD pinag-uusapan dito), pero improving naman. Ayaw ko naman magmalaki kung hindi ko masusuportahan ng facts diba. Pero FEU is one great university parin. May uniqueness kasi bawat university kaya walang dapat magpayabangan. Hopefully FEU will be one of ‘the best universities’ when time comes (siguro decades pa). By the way I’m a FEU student. This is my honest opinion, lalo pa I can see what’s happening inside. Greetings from the Far East!
To Otin:
Excuse ME??? FYI U.P. Cebu is the best when it comes to management courses… pLEASE do not EXTENUATE us because we got a CENTER OF EXCELLENCE in information technology this year…
All of you out there,
All of us don’t have the right to say we are the best coz we are from the best schools… As what our National Hero have said: “Knowledge does not choose any place for it to dwell it simply sprouts like a seed…”
STOP saying that you are the best…
You should not be proud that u are from that school coz think about it… “THE SCHOOL IS NOT EVEN PROUD OF YOU!!!”
waaaa…..nyc…sana magkaroon na ng support ang MSU-IIT gaya ng ibang malalaking public schools…hehe…malaki kasi ang potential ng MSU-IIT…especially when it comes to technology courses…..i know na if that time comes graduate na ako…pero at least….ung mga nakaka bata sa akin ay maranasan nila ung standard education na inoffer ng MSUIIT….with support pah….hehe..
GO IIT
to Otin:
hahaha! panu mo naman nasabing tae yung UP-Mindanao at UP-Cebu? May proof ka bket nasabi mong Tae kami? yeah we may not be that prominent as compared to other UP Campuses, that’s because we aren’t that big and students are very few… Kumbaga hindi pa masyadong established… Cnu pa b sa inyo dyan ang nakakaalam na may UP-Cebu at UP-Mindanao? Konti lang… kaya wag mo naman sabihin agad na tae kami because UP standards of education is the same in all the UP campuses..
One more thing, UP does not need to expand their campuses in places like Cebu and Davao because a lot good schools are already available in those places. UP is not only aiming for being on top, it also considers where to put up large campuses because its budget is not that high. Cebu has University of San Carlos, University of San Jose-Recoletos, Cebu Institute of Technology, University of Cebu, University of the Visayas, Cebu Doctors University, Cebu Institute of Medicine… while Davao has Ateneo de Davao, University of Mindanao, University of Southeastern Philippines, Davao Doctors College and Holy Cross College of Davao… Anu pa ba hahanapin nila? Magaganda naman record ng mga schools na yan? Eh sa Tacloban? sa IloIlo? di naman maxado marami schools dun. Kaya medyo improved (in facilities as compared to Cebu and Mindanao) ang UP schools dun… As for Diliman, Los Baños and Manila, eto yung kumbaga haligi ng UP System… iba2x yung field of expertise ng mga campuses na ito kaya tlagang the best.
Kaw, san ka ba nag-aaral?
to otin
alam mo kaw ala ka rin pinagiba kay atenista eh..pati ba nman up mindanao at cebu nilaait mo tama si popoy eh may ebedinsya ka ba?…tsaka kahit san angle mo tingnan mayabang talaga mga atenista..gaya mo rin may mga friends ako from la salle at down to earth nga iba sa kanila..iba lang ha ewan ko sa di ko kakilala.
mga uste nman mostly mayayabang..ewan ko kung ano pinagyayabang nila…hehe…tsaka alam mo pansin ko sau at kay atenista mga ingitero…alam mo kung bakit? hindi nman naninira ang isang tao kung di sya naiingit eh..un lang yun…cguro kaw kung University of RECTO lang nag aral kaya ganyan ka manira…hay buhay talaga…try nyo kaya mag aral sa mga school nya nilalait nyo para malaman nyo…tsaka hindi lang coe at cod ang basis ng isang school may mga accreditation din yan..and feu belongs to the elite schools that has number of accredited courses…yun l
to atenista.
you mention that feu doesn’t have any accredit courses..fyi we have 2 level 3 accredited college..business and arts and science..the rest level 2 na…i know you have level 4 but that pertains to only one of your courses whatsoever…..gusto mo samahan pa kita sa PACUCUA eh….
i mean pertain….corection…
to otin
san ka nga ba talaga nagaral..at san ka nagwowork….ang yabang mo rin kasi eh…sana kaya mo panindigan yan…kasi ako kaya ko. i am working now at international company in makati top 500 fortune company..cguro kaw sa top 1000 lang d2 sa pinas…or ala kapa cguro trabaho kaya ganyan ka manira….
may nakakasabay din ako na big 4 nung nagaaply ako b4 and some are rejected…un lang..have a nice day…
So sorry for igniting the discussion even more
.
To Popoy:
The ‘tae’ statement above was just an exaggeration. Again, sorry pa rin. Regardless of the whys, I know you know very well na SUPER LAYO ng board performance ng UP-Cebu compared to UPD/UPLB and other UP campuses. Kahit sa Cebu na lang, compare mo sya sa USC. Lampaso talaga. My apology for UP-Mindanao, cant support my statement just yet. Another thing, this is not about whose proud of someone or something. This topic is about the best universities.
To pits:
Nakadagdag pa pala ako sa disappointment mo. Sowee. Rest assured I do not intend to sound disrespectful. Anyways, your statements and line of questioing above is adding more vagueness to the topic. Imbes na objective (nasusukat), nagiging subjective (mahirap sukatin). Likeyung sinabi mo na patas lang lahat kasi yung meron sa isa, wala sa isa and vise versa. Natural yun, kasi everyone and everything is unique! Another thing, nag-apply ka ng work, ikaw nakuha, ung iba coming from the Big 4 nareject. Malay ko ba naman kung top graduate ka ng FEU at yung kasabayan mo mga nangamote sa Big 4? Dont get me wrong, what I’m saying is nagiging malawak lalo ang usapang ito dahil sa ganung klaseng comments. Kaya nga may THES World University Rankings dahil may sinusunod silang criteria for judging which is best among the best. Kaya rin merong CHED para mag-identify ng centers of excellence among Philippine schools, according to established criterion. Yung ISO naman, it just ensures consistency in doing what you’ve been doing. This means that an entity can be certified even if its performance is not excellent. At least, the ‘quality’ is consistent.
Harsh ba ko? Sensya sa lahat.
“You are, to a little extent, what you hate”
“The things we despise are the same things we do not like about ourselves, it’s the natural pattern of eugenics.” – Karl Marx
Ponder on these thoughts my dear friend Pits. Isa ka pang mayabang e. haha. It just so happens that others are just more blatant in their expression of pride, or maybe they just seem to have more things to be proud of. I guess you are somehow restrained by your background to fully exercise the natural urge to brag, but as it seems you are a braggart anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a full-fledged braggart too, but at least I know I have something to brag about. If ever someone threatens my self-esteem at least I know that I can fully defend it. Do not take insults as given but rather use it to improve yourself because maybe there is a reality that underlie the said criticisms regarding your university. Peace. haha.
To pits:
Just read Atenista’s posts above. Except for the ’sound’ (parang galet), everything he wrote were aggreeable. He’s right when he mentioned about the low passing marks of FEU in licensure exams. He’s truthful about the lack of COE/COD of your school. Yung ‘bagsakan ng mga bagsak ng UP’ mejo subjective sya, although I have a few experience similar w/ his. Pero dapat nga proud kayo kung sa FEU pumupunta bagsak ng UP di ba? Kasi magaling pa rin yun – nakapasa ng UPCAT yun! Undeniably the most difficult entrance exam; never tried the UPCAT though kasi 1 university lang talaga gusto ko.
Okay, I come from the Big 4 also but I’m also honestly proud of other schools that deserve recognition, namely:
1. Silliman U
2. MSU (IIT and Marawi)
3. SLU
4. Xavier U
Further, parami ng parami ngayon ang magagaling na institutions outside Metro Manila. Gaya ng Cebu Institute of Medicine, Velez College, St. Mary’s University, Batangas State U, St. Paul Iloilo and West Visayas State U. In terms of licensure performance, I can come up with an OVERALL TOP 20 and still not find FEU there.
TO THE FEU MANAGEMENT:
Para irespeto kayo (you don’t ask for respect, it is earned), please find ways to immensely improve your performance in licensure exams. Sobrang napag-iiwanan kayo. Well, sa nursing at medicine, di mashado pero iwan pa rin. Please lang kasi kawawa naman mga estudyante nyo, sobrang proud pa naman YUNG IBA.
to otin
Cebu Institute of Medicine and Velez College is one school… and by the way, bisaya ka ba?
hello otin:
tanong ko lang bakit otin ang pangalan mo, bisaya ka ba or tagalog? kasi your name is sooo creepy and sooooo kinky when translated to cebuano. he he he
pits:
i agree with eagletmaroon, your way of reasoning here is mostly the same with atenista. parehas kayong mayabang kung magbrag..ang pinagkaiba nio is from ateneo sia (kung totoo nga) and from feu ka. i think, may mas maipagmamayabang sia..un nga lang,mali ang way of speaking nia. anyways..i also came from big 4, kaya please..hwag mo naman i-generalized lahat..like for example u said na mga taga ateneo, la salle, ust ay mostly mayayabang..anong tawag mo dito? ikaw nga tong mayabang magsalita eh wala kayong pinagkaiba ni atenista…
peace..:)
For everybo’s info… PAASCU is more reliable and prestige than PACUCOA or other sources. Because in here they set stndards that are very competitive and can be comapred to international universities outside the Philippines. Its a combination of ACADEMIC REPUTATION, which includes the passing rates in every licensure exams and the accredited course. The STUDENT and FACULTY strength FACILITIES and RESEARCH.. that makes a university the BEST!!!
I’m a Thomasian (from UST). And I can say that my school is good enough beyond the rest.
See these comparisons.
COE/COD;
1.UP has 34
2.UST has 23
3.ATENEO has 16
4.LASALLE has 15
(LATEST # OF COD/COE BY CHED these Sept.2007)
PAASCU ACREDITATION is BETTER than ANY OTHER.
ATENEO AND LASALLE got LEVEL 4 (the highset possible accreditation
UST got LEVEL 3.
(it is based on the over-all performance of these inatitutions not just for one course or one college its the TOTALITY of everything!!!)
kya un mga ngssbing best sila tpos s accountcy lng naman sila accredited. YOU’RE NOT THE BEST!!! Learn things first before you conclude. Hndi yung porket dun ka ng aaral or alumni kn..niloloko mo n srili niyo!
and the big four instill its prestige upto now. UP,ATENEO,LASALLE and UST… NOTHING FOLLOWS… (again sum up your totality before you comapre…. hndi ung sa isa,dalawa,tatlo,apat or more than course lang kau ngeexcel e,,kala niyo the best na kau. At hndi lng dun bnbase…s faculty and students.alumni din.) gets??? im not bias dhil tga uste ako, i jz want to wake up those minds na pnpniwala n sila and best.nkktwa kc e… wlang bsehan..at walang ebidensyang sapat!!!
To Popoy and Raffy:
I stand corrected Popoy about CIM and VC being one. Anyways, pano nyo naamoy na Bisaya ako? Wahaha! ;p Yup both my parents roots are from the Visayas, esp. my mom who’s a true blue BK (bisayang dako). Sa dila pa lang di mo maitatago hahaha! But she’s proud of it. The whole family’s proud it. Yung Otin naman is just part of my whole name. Ayun, didn’t realize marami pala bisaya dito, hehe.
Mabuhay ang mga Bisaya, pride of the Filipino nation!!!
to Otin
hahaha! talaga? does your name reflect who you are in Bisaya? hahaha! it really sounds funny in bisaya.. and may be weird for some bisaya, especially the conservative ones…
FEU bulok!! NAPAKALAKING BULOK! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh
I HAVE THIS CLASSMATE WAY BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL AND SHE WAS CURRENTLY STUDYING AT UST COLLEGE OF NURSING. SHE SAID TO ME THAT THEIR PROFESSORS REALLY HATE THE UNIVERSITY STARTING WITH A LETTER ‘F’. WONDER WHY? DAHIL NAGUGULAT N LNG DAW SILA KUNG BAKIT NAPUPUNTA SA FEU UNG MGA POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS NILA, PATI UNG MGA PRINEPARE NILANG MGA EXAMINATIONS AND QUIZZES, PATI CURRICULUM GINAYA, AT ANG MGA LIBRO NILA NG ESTUDYANTE NILA MAGKATULAD. WAAAAAAAAAH TALAGA. WALANG BANG TIWALA ANG SKUL NYO SA MGA PROF NYO???? CGURO MALI AKO. CONCLUSION: MGA UST TALAGA O. MAHIYA NAMN KAU!! WAG NAMN KAU MAGLEAK SA FEU. RESPETO LNG. HAHAHAHA
to otin and eagletmaroon
no doubt mayabang kaung dalawa…cguro ngaun namnamin nyo dat you guys belongs to big4 school sa pinas…tsaka para sabihin ko sa inyo na d lahat na bumagsak na up at lumipat sa feu eh scholar..ano kau hilo kala nyo ganun kadali maging scholar…cguro ung iba na nagloko sa up na siniryoso ang feu…kaya naging scholar sila…bakit lumipat kaba sa feu? mahilig kasi kau mag rerive sa conclusion without basis. puro yabang lang kasi kau ala nman ibubuga..
one thing try to look at the ranking during 1999 until 2006..try nyo tingnan ranking ng up.ateneo,la salle, ust…hindi ba paurong kau…ang ust malapit na nga mahulog sa top 500 eh…buti nakapasok pa hehe.hayaan mo 3 years from now ala na kau…hehe
tska ung sinasabi mo na velez college.sa medtech lang sila magaling..other than that mas magaling ang NRMF..sa CIM nman cguro specialty nila yan kaya dapat lang magaling sila..and try to look at the figure or the number who took up the board di hamak na mas marami ang feu kesa sa cim were mga 30 to 50 examinees lang sila minsan mas mababa pa…
ang siliman ngaun medyo sumasablay na..siguro during last 10 years magaling sila but now i dont think so…tska isa pa otin hindi kawawa ang istudyante ng feu…baka kau kawawa mas marami ang tambay nyo na graduates,nakakahiya galing pa nman ng big 4 daw….
hindi sa pag mamayabang pero nahire ako ng 27 time after i graduated 2005.ung iba di ko na pinasukan kaya umabot ako ng ganito karami na trabaho..and from that experience marami ako nakasabay na mga galing sa big 4 daw…and i try to ask kung ilan bwan na sila ala trabaho..unfortunately minsan umaabot na halos ng i year ksi mahiraw daw maghanap….anong nagyari? nadadala ba ang prestige sa paghahanap ng trabaho? cguro ung ibang company…hindi kaya wag kau mayabang at least ako nageexperiment para malaman ko…hindi gaya nyo mahilig kau sa salita…

“puro yabang lang kasi kayo ala naman ibubuga”
-Pits
Do you still want me to contest with FEU’s performance? Do you want to get your pride trampled upon again? UP and Ateneo walang ibubuga? Why do you think we brag in the first place? Open your eyes to reality sir, FEU is not a bad university but it’s not at par with UP and Ateneo. I can prove that in more ways than you can think of.
“How can you earned a respect”- Pits
I hope the so-called Far Eastern University teaches proper grammar.
Huwag kang maghahamon ng laban na hindi mo kayang panalunin. It’s better if you accept your place and improve yourself. The philippine academic community will respect FEU if they really deserve it, but as of this point in time, I do not think so. You are being criticized because people see something to criticize. I tried to defend FEU but ,as it seems, you’re really looking for conflict.
Bottomline: Know your place!!
I know I am harsh. I know I am somehow insensitive, but you provoked me.
to Pits:
as what i’ve posted some time ago, Velez College and CIM are the same. At isa pa, this school is not only good in MedTech, Medicine has been its forte for such a long time… the latest board exam for Doctors showed that CIM got the 3rd place…

Enough with your non-sense pits.. eagletmaroon was right about you and FEU. his last post above was loud and clear and should end all these. will not reply to you anymore.
To Popoy:
Kakabilib talaga CIM. They lead this year’s Physician Licensure, followed by UP-Manila. Combining the Feb and Aug. 2007 results, all 81 CIM takers passed for a convincing 100% rating. UPM had 158 of 159 for 99.37% mark. Here’s the complete TOP 10 list:
1. CIM –> 81/81 (100%)
2. UPM –> 158/159 (99.37%)
3. MSU-M –> 41/44 (93.18%)
4. PLM –> 99/108 (91.67%)
5. UST –> 377/420 (89.76%)
6. Cagayan State U –> 25/29 (86.21%)
7. Ateneo – Zamboanga –> 13/16 (81.25%)
8. St. Luke’s Col. of Med –> 104/128 (81.25%)
9. SLU –> 90/112 (80.36%)
10. WVSU (La Paz) –> 86/108 (79.63%)
Sensya na sa FEU community, may nabasa lang kase ako na previous post (di ko na ma-trace kung sino) na accredited na level 3 ng PAASCU (or was it PACUCOA?) ang business school ng FEU. Kinda weird kase hindi consistent pag binangga mo sa CPA licensure performance. Here’s the TOP 10 schools n the last two CPA board (Oct. 2006 and May 2007):
1. UP-Diliman –> 57/59 (96.61%)
2. Col. de San Agustin (Bacolod) –> 9/12 (75%)
2. Silliman U –> 15/20 (75%)
3. UST –> 218/298 (73.15%)
4. DLSU (Mla) –> 167/242 (69.01%)
5. U of Northern Phils (Vigan) –> 13/20 (65%)
6. Adventist U of the Phils –> 8/13 (61.54)
7. UP (Tacloban) –> 23/39 (58.97%)
8. Palawan State U (PP) –> 10/18 (55.56%)
9. UP (Iloilo) –> 38/69 (55.07%)
10. USC –> 68/124 (54.84%)
The scores of schools occupying the 11 to 20 slots are in the range of 47 – 52%.
FEU-Manila’s rating is only 27.47% (only 50 of 182 passed). Just pondering here, I’m not questioning the credibility of PAASCU or PACUCOA.

san kau ng first? sa recent chemist board/WHEN WAS THE LAST TYM NAG FIRST KAU SA BOARD NA YAN…alam mo nagcocoment ka lang kasi hindi mo muna basahin ng maiigi….mag research ka kung maari..alang duda atenista ka nga..hahahahahahaaa..compare the graduates of ateneo at feu……magresearch ka para malaman mo….
to I HATE FEU..
talga lang my proof ung mga sinasabi mo…patunayan mo yan kung sa korte talo ka.kakasuhan ka pa.bakit kasi bobo ka.di ka nagiisip..sabi lang lang yan eh tapos maniniwala ka..siguro ung prof na nagsabi nyan hindi nakapasa sa feu na maging prof. kaya puro sira nalng sya..di hamak na mas mataas magpasweldo sa feu kesa sa ust…cod nga business nyo ala nman kwenta…..
TO OTIN…
ok kung ayaw mo mag reply nasa sau yan. pero wag mo sabihin na non-sense mga sinasabi ko..ang hirap kasi sa inyo nagbibigay na kau ng conclusion na hindi pa malinaw…kung sa bagay ano mapapala ko sa inyo eh pareho kau magisip….hahaha…wers UP,ateneo now? anong nagyayari sa bansa natin dahil sa mga graduates nyo…nakakahiya kau.alam nyo ba yun…lalo na sa international community…alang duda bumababa quality ng education nyo….
wag nyo maliitin feu.bakit my ISO BA KAU?mahirap maatain yan ng isang company…tandaan nyo yan..kung mag coe/cod kau my ISO nman kami….recognized kau sa philippines kami international..
ang hirap kasi sa inyo hindi nyo pa nasubukan magaral dun bakit hindi nyo ba kaya?ata hindi rin kau tatangapin dun kasi mahina kau magisip…
gud night..
Otin. I missed visiting this blog site for some time. I could not agree more with you about this ‘discussion’ being ‘overly extended’ na ba. Anyways, masaya gud ang na-spark mo na further discussions. One thing about the PRC rankings mentioned, though. The picture would be complete if the N (number) of examinees from each of the schools cited was indicated, too. I think it is reasonable to think that it would not be really ‘fair’ to compare University A with N=3 examinees all passing and University B with N=90 with only one not passing. Cheers!
‘kung mag coe/cod kau my ISO nman kami….recognized kau sa philippines kami international’ -pits
Hay nako! kast reply ko na talaga sau to pits. Di nako magpapa provoke sau. Sobrang nakakaawa comments/ opinions mo. If that’s how the entire FEU community thinks — nakakaawa talaga! You’re right, pang-RP lang ang COE/COD ng CHED but the THES World University Rankings recognize the Philippines’ Big 4 among the Top 500 in the world (although, nangungulelat nga lang).Finally, I repeat, the ISO only ensures CONSISTENCY in doing what you’ve been doing. That’s why, even if an entity’s performance is not excellent, it still can be entitled to an ISO certification. Kareerin mo lang ang procedure, magkaka-ISO ka na. Nakakaawa talaga FEU kase it turned its head on the ISO thing dahil hindi sya mapansin ng kahit na anong pretigious academic/professional rankings (THES, CHED, PRC, etc.)! Kung tutuusin walang kasalanan dito FEU. IKaw ang dahilan kaya naglabasan ang mga datos na may basehan at nasusukat na impormasyon para lalong ipamukha sa lahat kung gaano ka lunus-lunos ang kalagayan ng FEU.
go dlsu… ur the best!!!

gaya mo di na rin ako mag rereply sau..dinaig mo pa si atenista…alam mo ba ibig sabihin ISO. alam mo ba ssignificant nyan sa mga companya nyan….lahat ng companya yan ang aim..marami na rereject dyan….talaga lang…hayaan mo next year wish mo makita mo pa school mo sa ranking….hehehe…ISO is a prestige…kahit malalaking companya sa pinas ala nyan kasi mas extensive pa ang basis nyan kesa sa PRC ang accreditation….ala ka nga talaga alam…alam ko isa lang cod namin pero competitive naman…na try nyo na ba kalabanin ang harvard sa business plan? cguro kung sa UP ka pwed pa…pero kung sa uste ka malabo yan…..gud luck…
hindi consistency lang ang ISO…mag research ka kya kung ano ang ISO? its nature and its role…bago ka mag derive sa alang kwenta mong sinasabi about sa ISO…
buti naman at nag research ka na level 3 na business namin…at parang sinisisi mo pa paascu kasi hindi consistent board namin sa cpa…ano may conflict ba sa prc at paascu…how come na nangyayari yan…alamin mo….cod nga kau ala naman kwenta course nyo….ang paascu dumadaan yan sa masusing pagaaral kasi they give singular previlage at funds sa school who attain level 3…eh ang prc nagbibigay ba ng ganyan…..bago ka mag react magiisip ka muna….
hi to all..kanina nagcomment na ko dito kaso hindi na-post eh..yung una kong comment eh peaceful..until nung mabasa ko yung huling post ni pits..
para kay PITS ang message na ‘to:
hoy pits, ano ba problema mo? di mo ba napapansin na ikaw lang ang kaaway ng mga tao dito? sige na, ikaw na pinaka matalino at pinaka magaling sa lahat ng tao, pero wag kang masyadong mapanlait..sa mga nabasa ko dito, ikaw ang pinaka offensive sa lahat sa totoo lang..wala namang nagsasabing pangit o walang kwenta ang school mo ah until mag umpisa ka ng gulo..sabihin na nga natin na naka 27 times ka nang naeemploy eh ano naman? wag mo i-base sa employment ang kagalingan ng school..ang school eh para magprovide lang ng training at knowledge and the rest nasa tao na mismo yon..eh mas mayabang ka pa sa mga taga UP ateneo dito eh..
sa totoo lang, sa una kong pinost hindi kita inaway kc ayoko sumali sa gulo..kaso, nakita kong nilait mo ang school ko..ako, proud to be thomasian ako..kaming mga taga ust, wala kaming paki kung sino ang pinakamagaling basta aim namin maging excellent hindi maging the best, hindi kagaya mo gusto mo perpekto ka..
napansin ko nga sa lahat ng sinabi mo eh parang sa sarili mo lang binase ang galing ng school mo..bakit? “primary standard” ka ba kung anong school ang maganda? di naman kami nakikipag pagalingan sayo eh..edi mas magaling na at mas maganda FEU..tanggap naming mga taga ust kung hanggang san palang kami ngaun..hindi namin iniisip kung sino mas magaling samin..basta kami, striving for excellence for our institution..wala kaming paki basta wag mo kami lalaitin..kung magsalita ka kasi para kang hindi nakapag-aral..umayos ka..
hello guys! wow ngayun ko lang nakita tong site na toh ahhh (special thanks to tomasino ako!) anyway reaction ko sa article sa taas ay WOW galing naman ng UST pasok sa list… congrats to UP, ADMU, and DLSU. kahit naman anung rank ng big 4 schools na yan ay okay naman dahil very deserving naman… diba?
@ tomasino ako = sobrang tama ka sa mga sinabi mo sa lahat lahat! grabeh nilait niya ang USTE? hmmmppp… at pansin ko din na siya lang ang kaaway ng karamihan dito… anyway you’re right! panawagan sa mga estudyante ng DLSU, UP, ADMU at iba pang mga universities na tanggap ang mga resulta ng iba’t ibang ratings eh pagbigyan na natin si PITS! kelangan nya yan para gumaan ang loob niya eh kahit sino naman eh pagtatanggol ang school na pinangalingan niya diba? yun nga lang makipag away daw ba… ahehehe… anyway, TOMASINO AKO! ang ganda ng comment about PITS being a “primary standard”! LOL….
Hehe ang husay mag-provoke ng KATANGAHAN mo pits.
Who says hindi prestigious ang ISO? I’ve been employed with three prestigious companies; all of them ISO-certified. I don’t have to research about ISO because I’m already involved with it. Are you? I know a lot about ISO and I know you dont. You’re just ABSOLUTELY WRONG comparing ISO with THES/CHED/PRC. Sa ISO walang ranking. Sa THES/CHED/PRC makikita mo kung sino MAS MAGALING. Thus, this thread is all about. Gets moooo??????? ***mit, where’s your logic, man? Naka graduate ka nga ba talaga? Hindi na ko naniniwalang taga-FEU ka. I’m sure di naman ganyan KATANGA mga taga-FEU! You’re the worst thinker (if ever you were) I ever encountered.
pits you might want to know, Boy Bawang is ISO-certified also. No I dont work there (wish I were, fave ko yun eh, hehe).. just sharing ISO stuff with you.
To draw:
Ang saya nga eh no. Minsan nakakainis tong si pits pero pag nahimasmasan nako, mas naiinis ako sa sarili ko for ‘making patol’ hahaha! Sensya kana kung pinag-combine ko ranking ng schools with few examinees and those with hundreds. Kasi I believe dapat ma recognize ang ibang schools na totoong magaling din pero tahimik lang. Tsaka isa pa, pag kinategorize natin, malamang hindi maglalaban ang UP/Silliman (few takers) versus UST/DLSU (hundreds of takers), for example. Thanks for the comments anyways.
To Otin:
saludo ako sayo..mas credible ka..naunahan mo nga ako sa pagcompare ng ISO sa THES/CHED/PRC eh..hehe..i admit konti lang ang alam ko sa ISO pero i’m sure naman na mali ang mga pinagsasabi ni pits about ISO..hehehe..if i were u pits, tumigil ka na kc napaghahalata ka na..hehe..baka naman hindi ka talaga graduate ng FEU..tsk tsk..

salamas!
hei tama na yan guys… kawawa naman c pits..
To Pits:
Pits be proud of your school pero wag mo siraan yung iba… Why don’t you point out all the good things about your school and our schools? Para naman walang away. We all excel in different areas and being an ISO certified or topnotcher in CHED or THES standings does not mean being the best. Anyone from any school can always be on top if he/she strives to be on top. Does CHED take note of the sports area? How about theater arts? If you base your rankings on who’s the best university in CHED rankings, then one school is surely to be on top. But does this school top among the sports area? the theater arts and other related stuffs? You see different schools top in different areas. So the best is different in every area. And the results are not ALWAYS the same. It always changes… So if you’re from FEU, be proud of it! Do your best and beat all those who are in the rank! Those rankings are only temporary…..
Parang nagiging personalan na tong away na to ah… Cool lang kayo guys! hehehe… CIAO!
thanks for moderating popoy.. we can always start anew.. pits my ways of pointing out my views towards you was wrong.
.. my sincerest apologies…
Guys, ang topic po ay Best Universities blah blah blah di ba?, pero po kase sa inaasta ng iba sa atin, parang sinasabi lang natin na wala tayong natututunan sa mga kanya-kanya nating unibersidad. sana naman po kung magkakaron ng diskusyon dito ay gawin sya in an academic manner, hindi yung puro insultuhan. kung magaling talaga school niyo, iprove niyo yun by showing the kind of students it has di ba???
To popoy:
very well said..sana naman maunawaan yang mabuti..tama ka! i couldn’t agree more..
)
to otin, tomasino ako, popoy
di naman siguro ako mag comento ng ganito kung di nyo sinimulan di…lahat ng scul my kalakasan at kahinaan…kaya wala naman siraan..bakit magaling ba sa lahat ng aspeto ang big 4 na sinasabi nyo?hindi ba nauungusan ng feu ang 4 na to sa board exam minsan?ang sabi ko lang kung may cod/coe kau my ISO naman kami at corporation kami kaya may ISO…isa pa wag kau masyado kompyansa kasi hindi sa lahat ng oras dyan kau sa posisyon na yan..un lang hope we can be friends kahit di tau nagkikita…
to tomasino ako
“if i were u pits, tumigil ka na kc napaghahalata ka na..hehe..baka naman hindi ka talaga graduate ng FEU..tsk tsk..”tomasino ako
sana bago ka mag bigay ng ganyang comento,mag isip ka muna…tingin mo kaya mag aaksaya ako ng panahon kakasagot ng coment nyo kung di ako taga feu..one thin,pano ka nakakasiguro na mali ang pagkaiintindi ko sa ISO? eh ikaw nga alang alam…try to research bout ISO at ung significancce nya sa Business Industry para malaman moi…wag ung nagcocoment ka ng hindi mo alam…
to otin
ako nga dapat mag doubt kung nkapag trabaho ka sa ISO company…ala nga ranking ang ISO pero tumataas ang level ng ISO…anung level ba nag pinagtrabahuhan mo na ISO?BAKA 9001 palang…kung pwed nga lang bigay ko info ko para ma verify mo na feu ako bibigay ko eh…ako nagcocomento lang sinasagot ko lang lahat ng coment nyo…tsaka isa pa hindi ako tanga…kung tanga ako cguro kaw narin ang tao na nakilala ko na bobo..kasi hindi ka nag iisip bago ka mag coment…kkung pwed nga lang makipag debate ng harapan gagawin ko eh..matanong kita..ilang companya palang ang ISO certified? ilan ang companya sa pilipinas? at ano ang aim ng mga yan…hindi ako nagmamayabang u.s based ang company na pinapasukan ko ngayon kaya pang gabi sced ko…hindi to col center…its 1000 fortune company….may mga taga la salle,up at ust ako kasama..salamat at walang ateneo….at la salle ang mas malapit saken kasi humble sila d gaya ng mga taga uste at up kala mo kung sino….naishare ko lang
pits i don’t think we have to further the ‘heated’ exchange of opinions here, parang unproductive na. esp now that i already apologized to you. hope u accept it..
i guess you are really a warfreak pits. stop making yourself as the primary representation of an FEU student and your friends from lasal, up or ust as general representation of the school they represent. O cmon. i think if you are really an outstanding graduate of your university, ur better than that. we are not blind to see what the board results speak of your school. yes you may claim that nauungusan nyo nga ung big4 pero gaano kadalas? not more than five? or havent heard of anything either. Can u give one specific course? If you really want to persuade all the people here to prove that your school is the best, just remain silent and prove us wrong. because no matter how you protect ur school, what we see is what we perceive.. its just how we write this comments about ur school. you may be one of their best graduates but we cant help generalize things based on generalized factors such as the board exams, coe and cod. You can never generalize the whole FEU of what you have achieved nor ur friends from UP UST and Lasalle as their general attitudes.
btw peace. keep it cool
hi! im from ust. la lang. sobrang nag-enjoy lang ako sa site no hehe..
that’s my point nga pits… di sa lahat ng pagkakataon lamang ang big 4… kaya nyo naman silang lampasan ah… no need to point out this thing and that thing to prove that you are the best school… ika nga, the true champion does not need to shout. they simply glow…
pits, bakit hindi ka consistent..sabi mo hope we can be friends kahit di tayo nagkikita pero bakit ganyan ang attitude mo after mo sabihin yung mga linya na yon..anyway..it doesn’t matter..sure pits i/we can make friends with you kaya ayoko na makipag-banggaan or argue sayo kc sa nakikita ko, kapag sumasagot kami eh mas lalo ka lang nagiging mainit..kung ano ang sabihin namin sayo, doble pa ng isasagot mo kaya wala itong katapusan..pero eto lang ang masisiguro ko sayo..don’t generalize..kc i believe, most thomasians don’t brag about anything..hindi kami mayayabang..kaya ko lang nasabi na nagtataka na ko kung taga FEU ka talaga eh malay ba naman namin kung you’re just making fun of us db at pinagtatawanan mo na kami kakasagot sayo..ayun..u got to admit, kada statement mo napapasagot talaga kami..ayun lang..pero sana wag na tayo magtalo at uulitin ko, hindi kami nagyayabang because there is no point of doing it..it won’t get us anywhere..words are only words..it can be simply said by anyone..i believe credentials and records speak for themselves so ano man ang ipagsasabi natin dito won’t matter kc opinion lang natin yon..additional lang pits, wag ka na kc sumagot ng para kang galit..maging peaceful naman tayo..ok? magkalapit pa naman school natin..i have friends din from FEU..
pits, magsosorry ako sayo..i guess now i know the reason kung bakit ka galit na galit..i’ve read the posts here yung sa mga sobrang luma at mukhang sobrang offensive nga against FEU..kaya lang ako nainis sayo kc u mocked our school na para bang we don’t deserve the credits na natatanggap namin..still, wag tayong maging war freak ok? keep it cool..kasi napansin ko rin na yung mga posts mo eh sobrang emotional talaga na para kang bulkan na matagal natulog..ayun..sana naman tapos ka na sumabog..hehehe..basta tandaan na lang natin, dapat lahat tayo nagtutulungan for progress..ok? peace na ha..
)
i’m not from the big 4 pero lam ko na deserving mga institutions na to. shock ako na may kumukwestiyon sa integrity ng UP, Ateneo, DLSU at UST. Kasi sa pagkakaalam ko halos lahat ng mahuhusay talaga na high school valedictorians at salutatorians yan ang target schools nila for college. Yung iba pa nga di nakakalusot entrance exams pa lang. Anyways, yung val namin asa UP taking up engineering. yung no.2 namin went to ust, pre-med yata. same story sa mga friends ko sa ibang schools. yun lang po.
GLOBAL ang listahan na yan. Mga ibang bansa ang “kalaban” natin. Hindi ako natutuwa makitang 299th, 392nd, 484th at 500th tayo! At apat lang sa bansa natin ang nakapasok??? Nakakahiya! Alam kong mas may ibubuga tayong mga Pinoy!
At maari bang itigil nyo ang crab mentality na yan sa kapwa nating Pinoy? Sa nalalaman ko ay elementarya pa lang ay itinuturo na pangit ang kaugaliang yan, dahil yan ang nagpapabagsak sa ating bansa!
At oo, La Sallian ako. Marunong at mahusay din mag-Tagalog ang mga taga-DLSU. At maraming iskolar na mahihirap ang DLSU. Alam kong meron din sa ibang unibersidad, pero ginawa ko ito para malaman nyo na hindi lang pang-mayaman ang DLSU. Itigil nyo ang kabalintunaang kaisipan na “pang-susyal” lang ang DLSU. At ang nakakatuwa ay hindi ako itinuturing na “iba” ng aking mga may-kayang kaklase, at lalong hindi nila pinagtatawanan ang aking mumurahing damit at mga gamit. Marunong silang makisama at umunawa. Sana ang ibang eskwelahan, o LAHAT ng Pinoy ay ganon.
Pero mas masaya at mas maganda kung mas dadami ang mga Philippine schools sa listahang iyan, at kung aangat pa sa listahan ang ating mga eskwelahan!
mga taga feu jan!!!!!! wag nang mpilit!!
dapat kasi we should refrain from using unrefined thing such as bulok na school, academically bobo , idiots etc. these lines really ignited Pits ego this is why he retaliated or fought back.i’m really surprised to know people behaving in such uncivilized manner! these glaring comments are well noted in posts made by someone who hated FEU so much. i don’t mean to side anyone here but i strongly protest, that should not be tolerated. well anyway anybody can raise his alma mater high without pulling down the other di ba it’s his responsility to prove it? kung disagree then you can argue but not up to the point of losing your temper. Ano ba makukuha natin if X university is being raised as the best? just be sure you present the proof. sige na nga please filter your words ha before pressing the submit button and please review your grammar, he he he…..
attn: SILIMAN UNIV.
Kumusta kana mukhang bumaba yata ang mga passing rates ng board exams, what happened? bumaba din passing ng PLM, It used to post 100% passing in nursing board exams. same with Siliman. bumaba din sa CPA ang passing rate ng dalawang univ.
erratum:responsibility
To Pits:
I guess you have a reason to retaliate and I apologize for my actions. The things about this is that you must learn when or when not to fight. I hope you realize that at this point in time, we are performing better. I guess I just got irritated when you said that “wala kaming ibubuga”. I am just curious why you keep on discrediting the achievements of my universities when the criteria used to evaluate my schools are the same criteria used to evaluate FEU. So it is indeed a lose-lose situation if you keep on discrediting the PRC, CHED, and THES-QS rankings. If you refuse to acknowledge the achievements of the so-called big 4 universities then you also refuse to acknowledge the achievements of other universities as well as the achievements of FEU. I just hope that you stop belittling the local rankings because I believe that the local rankings are more objective than the international rankings. I also have a basis to brag but I just realized that I do not have to flaunt it right in your face. It was a very ungetlemanly for me to do. I hope you can see our point clearly. So I guess we can have a truce. Again Pits, my sincerest apologies for bragging too much, I must have crossed the line at some point.
Hope you understand what everyone’s saying Pits. Peace.
kj naman baket puro apologies na (haha! joke!). been enjoying this site for days.. kaabang-abang talaga mga replies nina ano, hehe… sayaang! ;p
anyways po, im not from the big 4 pero shock ako na meron pala inde naniniwala sa achievements ng big 4.. school ko siguro asa top 20 naman pero wala naman talaga kadudaduda na the best ang big 4. kase yan talaga ang target ng mga top high school graduates (xempre not always, depende po sa kanya-kanyang sitwasyon). our valedictorian is now at UP taking up engineering, ung salute namin asa UST college of science. Ganun din sa iba kong friends from other high schools, dun daw talaga pumupunta mga vals and salutes kung papasa sa entrance exams (kase bumabagsak pa rin ung iba eh)..
to otin, tomasino ako, eagletmaroon, viva laliga…
anyway guys, im very sorry kung naging war freak man ako…actualy hindi ako galit….sinasabi ko lang kung ano nararamdaman ko…hope you understand din ung side ko..i mean ala naman ganyanan bakit ala na ba bukas para sa feu?di ba….so kung ano meron kau ngaun be proud hindi ung titirahin mo ung isa….be humble guys…
nakangiti ako habang sisinusulat ko message na to…hehehehe…kung sino man sa inyo ang ala pa work or gusto mas magnda na work just feel to reply here…sasamahan ko pa kau sa company wer i belong…its a bpo co….kalaban nya accenture..its started its operation d2 sa pinas feb. of this year so mas malaki ung chance nyo for career growth..you can also bring your friends kasi kelangan talga nila ngaun mga associate for expansion…i can even give my cp# kung interested kau….gud nyt…
Quit saying your school is the BEST! Remember: Each school has its own strength and weakness. It is its graduates/ alumni/ alumna who will make/ brave it and reflect it back to the school.
All we have to do is… “Let time [history] and people judge your school!”
Time has proven that there are many schools [like Silliman University, Central Philippine University, Saint Louis University, Xavier University, University of San Carlos, Velez School of Medicine, Mindanao State University, Visayas State University, etc.] that are more superior in many aspects than their Metro Manila counterparts.
Instead of bragging, let’s start counting our blessings!
I’m challenging you! Yes, you… to tell us all about the uniqueness of your school: why did you choose and entrust your future to your school?
Be cool guys, di naman dapat mag-away kayo dito eh! I think we just proud na lang siguro from what school we from. Like me, I am proud as an ADAMSONIAN. I love ADAMSON UNIVERSITY . . . . For me, wala naman din yan sa school, kundi sa tao rin. Good luck na lang to everyone!
correct!
Go UP! hehehe
GO UP! but strive more para makasama tayo sa TOP 100 UNIVERSITIES not only in asia but also around the world kasi before UP and other schools ay kasama sa TOP 100 at ang rank ng mga shools are 1,2,and 3 but now mga pang 299 na lang ba no kailangan we have to maintain the rank of 1,2,and 3 AROUND THE WORLD”
go UST. UP, LA SALLE…………….UN NA!
For FEU:
Kawawa kyo, wala kasing graduate o tao na galing sa inyo na nagiging chairman ng CHED. Kung mayroon sana kyo, malamang your school gets a share sa COE/ COD na yan. Kung may ISO kyo, that only shows your school’s systems are logical and maximized towards better school function. Wala ito sa karamihan school parlance. But this show be considered first prior to granting COE/ COD, not merely on facilities and teachers.
Kagaya ng dating president ng DLSU na naging CHED chairman. Kita nyo, marami silang share ng COE/ COD. Syempre, excellent naman facilities nila at teachers nila. Kita nyo, matataas yong mga buildings nila. Kaya naman ng DLSU yan. I should know these because I am an alumnus of DLSU-Manila. Yong naging CHED chairman din yong chancellor ng UST, madami din silang share ng COE/ COD. Of course, excellent din naman yong facilities at teachers nila. Mas marami atang leaders natin ay galing ng UST. Mas excellent yong mga students nila din.
Kaya, kyong mga taga FEU, you wait for that time to come and I’m sure it will. Kasi sa tingin ko magaling yong medicine and medicine related courses nyo including architecture. Tignan nyo yong UE, dating CHED chair and president nila ngayon. I will not wonder that someday, UE will get its share sa COE/ COD na yan. Kagaya ng FEU, magaling ng medicine nila.
Ok ba?
Kyong taga taga UP Systems:
Magaling talaga kyo dahil kyo yong “cream of the crop” na napili through UPCAT. Kaya di nyo na kailangang makipag-away sa iba. We look up to you as the model in all aspects!
roque:
pls stop discriminating, the issue has been closed already.
i second the motion raffy. let’s be objective and pertinent with the info we post here, re: philippines’ best universities. if anyone has something to prove with regards to rankings of universities, show us your proofs, sources and links if necessary. of course, opinions are always okay as long as they’re not discriminating others (parang hindi ako dapat magsabi nito, haha!)
Thanks Raffy! And I third the motion. Hehehe….
Basta, ito ang mga prominent Philippine Universities
UP Diliman, Manila, Los Banos (ranked 1,3,2 by PRC, sila-sila ang halos nangunguna sa lahat ng pataasan ng passing rate sa boards, ayaw paawat)
De La Salle University (wow, bilid ako University na to, konti ng admission, pero nakakapagsustain ng sangkatutak sa dami ng graduate courses, I also like their curriculum, and their website) 11 CE, 4 CD.
University of Santo Tomas(My recent School, di naman siguro ako bias. But, by the biggest volume of produced professionals from the 35,000 students, it still maintains very high passing rates, ranked 5th by PRC. 10 CE, 8 CD.
Ateneo de Manila (wow, nagpatayo ng college of public health at medicine, Medical City pa ang base hospital, ayaw patalo, kaya UP at UST, ingat. It is also nice for Ateneo de Manila to have a 1.2 sq. km campus with just 12, 000 students. Fell good ang ambiance siguro nito”,)
9 CE, 2 CD.
Mindanao State University-Ilagan Institute of Technology (The best University in Mindanao, ala akong masyadong balita dito pero, it is 5th best university in the Philippines. Very recognizable ang ratings nito sa boards.
Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan). This school is also prominent in high board ratings. It’s the best private University in Mindanao. Isipin mo, dalawang ateneo universities and included sa top 10.
St. Louis University (ranked 4th by PRC, best university north of manila, lumalaban na sa UP sa pataasan ng board rating). I think masyadona nga din silang perfectionist in board ratings like UP.
Siliman University ( The university that has it’s own island, very prominent school in the Visayas).
My new comment now is that it is continually depressing in board ratings. (Correct me if I’m wrong, based lang kasi sa napapasin ko sa PRC board results since past years).
University of San Carlos (Oldest school in the philippines) 15′ hundreds something yata na establish. The best university in the Visayas a very, prominent school in Cebu.
Pls correct me if I miss other prestigious and of excellent universities. Tingin ko ala nang pweding tatapat sa mga ito.
Meron pa bang iba?
SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY the best pa rin……..
To ROQUE:
You must be referring to Fr. Rolando De La Rosa, O.P., as the UST chancellor (actually, he’s called rector) who became CHED chairman. He did held the post in 2004 but only for 6 months because he resigned due to heavy pressure against his drive to shutdown poorly performing nursing schools. Fr. De La Rosa is a man of integrity and even before his CHED post, UST’s COEs and CODs were already there. For your info and proper guidance.
To Aaron:
Just want to correct your info that USC is the oldest school in RP. It is true that USC claims its roots from the Colegio de San Ildefonso which was founded by the Jesuits in 1595. However, historians point out that this school was dissolved in 1769 with the expulsion of the Jesuits. The Colegio-Seminario De San Carlos opened in 1783 with entirely different owners. It became University of San Carlos in 1948. UST was established in 1611 and was made university in 1645 and continuously running up to this very day.
Kung matalino and tao, kahit saan mag-aral, talagang matalino. Our scientists and scholars didn’t go to formal schools to get their degrees, but they really succeeded to their goals. there are many UP graduates mostly diplomats and politicians, they don’t even speak English fluently
and don’t have enough general informations about Philippines when you ask them in the embassies. There are some unpopular universities that topped the bar exams ( first ) twice, University of Cordillera ( Former Baguio Colleges Foundation ). There are many bright students who can’t afford to study in famous schools. Some famous schools need money and connections so you can enroll. This maybe the reason why UP just ranked that low compared to Indonesia. In the school, 50% to the student and 50% to the school. After school, it depends on you already. I’m a graduate of SLU baguio, I
thank my alma mater but I continue on my own.
That’s why there’s a board exam to test every individual students on how they absorb everything what is thought in the school, so it depends on the full understing of the student. so when board exams result comes, you can see board passers fro different universites not only the popular ones. I HOPE I’M TELLING THE TRUTH.
OMG pipol… Grabeh nman kau… patalbugan kau always sa mga schools ninyo.. Oh well, i dont think my parents would let me study here in Silliman University (with my tuition fee na almost 40,000-50,000 per semester lang nman) if this is not a “quality wise” and excellent school.. Besides, this is the only American School here in the Philippines.. Overflowing na nga ng mga Iranians and Koreans dito.. Should i say ginawa ng “refugee camp” ng mga foreigners ang Silliman University? Hahahaha… Anyways, say something nice nalang about your school..Kaysa tapakan nyo pa ang iba…right?! I also hate it when others think na Silliman doesn’t deserve to be part of the top schools in the country… Hello??? It’s not our fault if we got the brains and the money….! Dli jud namu sala! Duh…
to boy: Sabi mo DLSU ang BEST PRIVATE SCHOOL sa pinas…Bakit? Magkano ba tuition fee jan?
maybe ateneans have to accept the bittersweet fact. rankings show.
But then, Ateneans are great, ateneo has produced the country’s finest leaders. And sure, its students are excellent.
As for La Salle, shall we say more?
By the way, let us support the FIRST Philippine Solar Car to compete in Australia. Students of La Salle, Faculty and Sponsors help build the car. visit their website. http://www.philippinesolarcar.org/
Stand corrected Dhong but whether you like it or not, that’s the results…
Yes, I also agreed with Raffy, Otin and Caday… Show us the proof, not with your wild imaginations!
But whether you like it guys or not, these systems of ranking of schools set by human knowledge and creativity are not absolute.
The school will be the best if its alumni/ alumna have made prints and achievements in their respective endeavors.
Ika nga, “Kung mahusay o magaling magtrabaho ang graduates nila, ito’y dahil sa nanggaling sila sa mahusay o magaling na school!”
‘Stand corrected Dhong but whether you like it or not, that’s the results…’ — ROQUE
I wasn’t questioning the results. What I was saying was it’s wrong to say that DLSU and UST got their COEs and CODs during the terms of their chancellor/ rector as chairman of CHED. The COEs and CODs were already awarded many years before they were appointed chairmen of CHED. Insinuating that they have influenced the awarding of COEs and CODs to their respective universities is baseless and unfounded.
Di namin kailangan magbayad ng mahal na tuition to earn a QUALITY education, nasa estudyante yan and beside PLM is just simple university with excellent students but with good heart. Di na kami makikipagtalo p. Masaya na kami makasama sa Top 10, and still this university is only funded by our Local Manila City hall. MABUHAY!! PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MAYNILA.
anybody from USC who would like to comment on Dhong’s post? That USC is not oldest school. Okay, we were taught in our high school/secondary educ. years this institution being the oldest school in the phils. I can only say that though Colegio de San Carlos and Colegio de San Ildefonso were owned by diffrenet personalities but the same standard of education, same educ system proceeded and the same cultural standard was adopted until the USC came into being. Then every San Carlos system was a copy cat of Idefonso so then they could be considered as entirely the same thing. Well, a comment from USC student is best appreciated and since you are student from said school you must know better than we do. This fact is already posted on the books and i wonder such a opinion appeared in a comment. Awaiting a reply from USC………
I’m surprised na ang baba ng rank ng DLSU sa PRC/CHED rankings. ‘yun pala, hindi kase cinonsider sa rankings na ‘yun ung research output ng mga schools, especially ung research na pinublish sa international peer-reviewed journals, something which was considered by THES. Unless i’m mistaken kase, second ang DLSU when it comes to research (next to UP).
Hindi ako taga-DLSU ha. Observation lang. GO PEYUPS! Hehe.
Well for you Dhong, Thanks for the information”,)
hmmm… i’m not from USC but i know that USC is the oldest school in the Philippines while UST is the oldest university… i think there’s no question about that… pero go UP pa rin! hehehe
To Dhong:
Bago lang itong COE/ COD Project [2000's] ng CHED and its during their terms that identified many of their programs were considered.
As I said Dhong, magagaling talaga programs, facilities at faculties [atmost all have PhDs] ng DLSU [Manila] at UST [I don't know in the case of UST]. Emphasized ko ang DLSU – Manila because I graduated from this institution.
You’re right Dhong, they have influenced on this COD/ COE Project.
Guys, let me share you this joke which I felt very insulted!
There were group of researchers asking one the same question from students of 3 universities in Metro Manila:
Researchers [to Ateneo students]: What’s your difficult course/s here in Ateneo?
Ateneo students: Our philosophy and logic subjects!
Researchers [to UP-Diliman students]: What’s your hard subject/s here in UP?
UP students: Our engineering and mathematics!
Researchers [to DLSU students]: How about yours here in DLSU?
DLSU students: Parking lots! We need more!
I felt insulted because this is not true! Unlike in other universities, our professors at DLSU-Manila never leave us behind. Di sila nag-aksaya ng oras o lumiliban sa pagtuturo. Ganon ka dedicated and professors namin.
to roque,
tama ka dyan..my reason ka nga cguro…hehe…kaya mas gusto ko mga lasalista kesa sa iba eh….hehe
no wonder ue will create a big bomb to have cod/coe someday..hehe
basta dlsu ako if i will choose from the big 4….hehe
i find dlsu srudents more rational than others…
To PLM:
Although it’s true that you pay only a small amount for your “high quality education” at PLM. But are you not aware that the money that is being used to fill the gap in order to have and maintain high quality education at PLM is taken from people’s taxes?
That’s why students at PLM must study very hard because they are being there because of the people. Perhaps, maibalik nila sa taong bayan ang kabutihan nila sa pamamagitan ng pagtapos nila ng maayos.
Ok?
To Sillimanian:
Sa De La Salle University – Manila, ang Tuition namin [science courses, iba sa iban courses] per trimester ay 18,000. That was in early 1990’s. Ang alam ko ngayon, nasa 65T-75T na ata. Tuition fee lang ito.
i think pareho lang na mahal ang DLSU at SILIMAN. 44T is too expensive at a provincial rate. i never thought ganito kamahal ang SILIMAN!!!!! for DLSU 75T is also expensive but given the high cost of standard of living in Manila i think SILIMAN is a more expensive school. On the light side, SILIMAN has a higher standard of education than DLSU, is more selective to freshman students, has higher board passing rate. Meanwhile DLSU’s facilities are the better.
to PLM:
kumusta naba dyan, during my years in PLM the college of Nursing used to garner 100% passing marks in the board exams, it was a trend it was a tradition. But just recently the college could only be content with 70%+ passing why??has the trend turned upside down, wag naman i hope and pray the college bounces back, kombate uy!
uhm.. i like ateneo than la salle. go blue eagles!
hehe.
to cecilia
Amen!…university of the cordilleras is also one of the prestigious universities here in the philippines…mejo hnd lang xa kilala kasi some people are more focused on metropolitan schools..marami din kasing mggling na universities sa probinsya tulad nlng ng siliman univ. ,ateneo de davao, urios university at mrmi pa…
to micah valer:
talaga na ranked top 1,2 or 3 ang UP noon, ANONG SURVEY NAMN YON? baka southeast asia yata but not in the whole world.UP used to be the best school in SEA pero hindi whole world heller!! pakireview mo nga sinulat mo baka nagkamali ka.
guys magtatanong lang ako… magkano po b tuition ng DLSU-Manila? ADMU? UST? just curious lang po… thanks!
Sa USTe affordable (considering its prestige), tuition is only around 30-35k per sem (2 sems/year) depending on the course.
Our neighbors like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore have all crossed and established networks with international universities. We should do the same and continue upgrading programs.”Start to bench marck our schools now with those outside of the Phils.”..
I’m into green!!!!!!!!
to raffy’
i had a friend who used to study in Silliman..but the tuition there was not so expensive…baka nursing naman kasi ang 44t na yan…kasi mga ganyan amount tuition nya….mas mababa pag ibang course…..mas mahal pa rin ang la salle..ang sa la salle ung 1 year around 180t that was based on the article from PDI.cguro un ung sa enginering nila….pang apat feu-east asia which has 120t/yr
pero nag inquire ako sa la salle last june for planing to pursue my post grad at ung undergrad nila ay 60t ang pinakamataas na tuition nd mas mababa ung post grad xempre..un lang….hehe
to raffy.
I think you have to define what standard of education is because i dont think that if siliman is picky (which is highly questionable in the first place in comparison to dlsu) that it essentially equates to a higher “standard of education” than dlsu. Moreover, i think you have to tell us in which board exam is silliman higher because if dlsu is not included in the roster of schools who take the exam (because they dont offer a particular course i.e. master plumbing), then your comparison is void for it doesnt have any basis. Peace!
to all,
i think you must not downplay if a particular school has very good facilities like DLSU. A conducive envirionment makes it possible for students to excel. Moreover the best universities in the world also have great facilities which means that if you want to be one, you should at least have good facilities. DLSU made that small step. Peace!
Eh kung mag-aral na lang kaya kayo ng mabuti para someday kayo naman ung ipagmamalaki ng school n’yo ‘di ba? Pati ba naman ‘yan pinag-aawayan n’yo? How pathetic! Those arguments are pointless, bawat isa ay may kanya-kanyang criteria on judging a school. Ika nga, “Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder” you can’t please everyone, on the same thing that you can’t please nor force everyone to agree on what you are saying. Bawat isa ay may sariling opinyon and kung hindi mo matanggap ‘yung opinyon n’ya then pabayaan mo s’ya dahil opinyon n’ya ‘yun kaya ‘wag mo ng awayin para ‘di na lumaki ung gulo ‘coz in the end hindi rin kayo magkakasundo. Mag-aral na lang tayo men dahil wala rin namang mapapala kung maganda nga school mo tapos wala ka rin naman palang effort mag-aral, so what’s the use of studying in a prestigious school? ‘Yan ang hirap sa Pinoy, may Crab mentality pa rin kaya hindi umuunlad. Eh kung pagtulung-tulungunan n’yo na lang awayin ‘yung universities ng ibang bansa [Joke! haha] Kung sa mga ganyang issue ay hindi na nagkakaisa mga Pilipino, paano pa kaya kung tayo na ‘yung magiging next leaders ng ‘Pinas? so talaga bang wala na ‘kong aasahan na mag-uunite tayong lahat? Gising mga kapwa mag-aaral, mamulat tayo sa katotohanan na Pilipino tayo at hindi na kailangan pang mag-away sa kung sino ang ano. Dapat magtulungan tayo kung paano naman haharapin ang hamon ng ibang bansa pagdating sa quality of education. Freshman ako ngayon sa isang unibersidad na hindi ko na babanggitin pa ang pangalan para at least hindi ako bias. Hehe. Peace tayong lahat! Goodluck sa ating pag-aaral. Maging successful sana tayong lahat. =>

well sa nabasa kong mga comments,, buti at naayos n’yo rin ang kaguluhan.. even i disagreed to what i have previously written: “Bawat isa ay may sariling opinyon and kung hindi mo matanggap ‘yung opinyon n’ya then pabayaan mo s’ya dahil opinyon n’ya ‘yun kaya ‘wag mo ng awayin para ‘di na lumaki ung gulo ‘coz in the end hindi rin kayo magkakasundo.” See, i proved myself wrong.
TO LA SALLISTA:
I’m a la sallian too [I finished my masters degree in Biology from DLSU-Manila emphasized not from other DLSU units] but it hurts to hear a fellow la sallista downgrading other schools like the prestigeous silliman university.
Board exams that SU excelled DLSU? Many, like CPA [SU's performance is no match with ours], Nursing [our DLSU is not even comparable to SU], Education, etc. Yes, DLSU excelled in ECE but SU does not have a course like this.
Facilities, yes, we have the best in the Philippines or even in the world. Admittedly, because many patrons/ benefactors/ supporters [syempre sikat at di sayang investment nila. Those who'll walk through DLSU campus will know them. That's prestige!] are helping DLSU put up these facilities. Like the new Performance Arts Building, I think it fully funded by well-known a businessman. I’m asking you fellow la sallista, is our university already run by businessmen these days?
But if you go to Silliman University, they have good facilities too fitted for their own well-selected admissions. In Marine Science, our Marine facility in Batangas has no match! It requires a major facelift! In Business, DLSU is teleconferencing capable, SU too. Silliman’s new Business Building affords that! One thing that DLSU can not match with SU is its IT facilities. SU is already WIFI.
SU is older than DLSU. SU is 106 years old. Conducive to learning? SU is more conducive [65 hectare main campus is dotted with century-old Acacia trees better than UP Diliman Campus backdraft by Cuernos de Negros, a beautiful scenery] than DLSU that is located in busy urban area. DLSU has to designed is classrooms that noise could not be heard inside.
At SU, there’s practically no outside disturbance unlike at DLSU, there are many of them.
SU is known to be the only American University in the Philippines being established by Americans. It’s well-known for its literary influence. Dr. Evaresco is a product of SU.
I can go on and on, but 1 advice I could give to my fellow la sallista: DON’T UNDERSTIMATE OTHER SCHOOLS. LET US HUMBLY OURSELVES! OTHERS MAYBE SUPERIOR THAN US.
I stand corrected, it is Dr. Evasco of the DLSU English Department.
Dr. Evasco directs the literary unit of DLSU and sits as a member of the literary panel at SU’s Annual Literary Assembly.
SU’s Literary Group, put up and nurtured by the National Artist Tiempo, is way ahead than UP.
SU’s medium of instruction is English since 1901 and never change unlike UP that it adopted and practically made Pilipino as medium of instruction in many courses. Yet, SU’s English is not even recognized as COE/ COD. DLSU is a COE.
There are many engineering expertises like Plumbing, Geodetic, etc. than any graduates of engineering can take. Kung suwerte sya, papasa.
Yong engineering graduates ng SU na pumasa sa plumbing recently at mero pa nga geodetic ay ganon yon.
Wala naman ganong course sa SU pero kayang kaya pasahin.
Silliman University’s Admission is selective and by invitation.
At our DLSU, if one who took the College Admission Examination at DLSU-Manila can not pass it, he/ she is still admitted but at the College of St. Benilde. By the time his/ her grades are ok, he/ she can transfer at DLSU-Manila. That’s DLSU’s innovative educational approach!
The College of St. Benilde – DLSU offered accountancy but no one pass. It has to phase it out upon instruction of CHED.
Pabigat yon sa amin. Biro mo, DLSU’s standing sa PRC ay No. 3 [No. 1 and UP and next, SU] nationwide tapos itong isang unit namin [DLSU College of St. Benilde] di makapasa sa Accountancy.
Parang nabunotan ng tinik ang DLSU noon.
To everyone:
MINDANAO STATE UNIVERSITY-MARAWI CAMPUS IS THE BEST!!!
MSU RULES!
For me the following are the top universities in the Philippines in tiers (based on over-all performance— CHED COE/COD, International Recognition, Research Output, recent PRC rankings, etc)
tier 1:
UP-D
UP-LB
UP-M
DLSU-M
ADMU
UST
tier 2:
MSU-IIT
USC
UP-Visayas (Ili-Ilo)
Xavier University
tier 3:
PLM
SU
SLU
ADDU
UP-Tacloban
hopefully makapasok na sa THES rankings and MSU, USC, XU and SU this year. hindi pa ba nirelease ang latest rankings ng THES?
But my guess is SU and USC have the stronger chance of breaking it in the World’s top 500. It can be noted that criteria used by THES include student:teacher ratio, % of international students, etc. Sa dalawang criteria palang, lamang na ang SU.
Sana econsider din nila ang research output and other local rankings (tulad ng CHED, etc.) para makapasok din ang the likes of MSU and XU.
God bless sa lahat ng excellent schools na ito!!!
TO LOIS:
I don’t know where you get and what’s your basis of your “3-tier” classification of top universities in the country. If its your personal thing [invention], no problem Lois, you can always have your way. But dont you ever mislead others that CHED has this system.
Ang alam ko, CHED, per its COE/ COD Project, classified higher institutions into:
A. Those higher institutions with COE/COD and without COE/COD; and
B. Those institutions that are Fully Autonomous, Partially Autonomous and Non-Autonomous.
Lois, don’t just brag. you have to back up your imaginary claim by citing your reference/s.
Just recently, CHED awarded PhP 1 Million to Silliman University for its outstanding research entry; UP came next. Simply because SU is one of CHED’s Research Zonal Center.
hi roque, opinion ko lang po yan! ang basehan ko ay ang # of CHED COE/CODs, recent PRC board exams, among others.

“Times Higher Education Supplement-Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS) World University Rankings” that has ranked universities across the globe is not only very subjective/ opinionated but also discriminatory. It’s a rocket by some influential businessmen that have connections/ kickbacks with the so called “top universities!”
Imagine, it could ranked about 40,000 universities [about 1,500 in the Philippines] across the globe in a short time through peer evaluation and research output that must only be seen at a certain research institution.
The bases are all subjective!
12 ZRC, not 9… sorry
To deregulate the research management functions of the Commission, twelve (12) HEIs were identified as the CHED Zonal Research Centers (ZRCs) based on strict selection criteria.
These ZRCs are the following; Luzon Area – a) Mariano Marcos State University; b) Central Luzon State University; c) U.P. Los Baños; d) De La Salle State University; Visayas Area – e) U.P. Visayas; f) University of San Carlos; g) Silliman University; and h) Visayas State College; Mindanao Area – I) Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology; j) Notre Dame of Marbel University; and k) Mindanao Polytechnic State College.
Imagine, collating information alone, say for 40,000 universities at 4 hours/ university would already entailed 7,000 days or 18 years. How much more if peer evaluations are conducted? A good and comprehensive peer evaluation can be done in 4-8 hours.
So here is a more objective list of top schools in the Philippines. A list made by the PRC using board exam results.
This statistics is a result of the
study conducted by the Professional
Regulations Commission (PRC) and the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED),
based on the average passing in the
BOARD EXAMINATIONS OF ALL COURSES of
all universities and colleges in the
Philippines . This study is concluded
every 10 years.
Eleven schools come from Luzon, two
from the Visayas and seven from
Mindanao .
1. University of the Philippines
(Diliman Campus / Luzon )
2. University of the Philippines
(Los Banos Campus/ Luzon )
3. University of the Philippines
(Manila Campus / Luzon )
4. Silliman University ( Dumaguete
City / Visayas)
5. Ateneo deDavao University ( Davao /
Mindanao )
6. Ateneo de Manila University
( Manila / Luzon )
7. University of Sto . Tomas ( Manila /
Luzon )
8. Mindanao State University (Iligan
Institute ofTech/ Mindanao )
9. Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila
(Manila/Luzon)
10. Saint Louis University ( Baguio
City / Luzon )
11. University of San Carlos ( Cebu
City / Visayas)
12. Xavier University (Cagayan de Oro /
Mindanao )
13. Mindanao State University (Main /
Mindanao )
14. Urios College ( Butuan City /
Mindanao )
15. Polytechnic University of
the Philippines ( Manila / Luzon )
16. De La Salle University ( Manila /
Luzon )
17. Mapua Institute of Technology
( Manila / Luzon )
18. Adamson University ( Manila / Luzon )
19. Central Mindanao University
(Bukidnon/Mindanao)
20. University of Southern Philippines
( Davao /Mindanao)

top performing schools in the
Philippines listed above, please

Ay…. naku naman…. maliwag na pangloloko ito!
Ay…. naku naman…. maliwanag na pangloloko ito ng mga dayuhang ito!
Sorry, I’m referring to my earlier posts…
to pits:
Oh really, baka nman nasa Divinity School yung friend mo na yan nag-aaral dito sa Silliman kung kaya’t nasabi nya na “not so expensive ang tuition sa Su”…True enough, 44k+ per sem ang tuition fee di2 sa SU pag nursing course mo..TUITION lang po yan..k? sum everything up from top to bottom pra nman may masabi kang maganda..oK? And oh, by the way, tama yung may nag-post di2 na wala sa tuition yan..kundi sa students, alumni and board rates…pati COE/COD….i’m still a freshman nga pala…but i’m superbly proud na from SU aq coz grabeh ang standard di2…;)

buti pa si pac-man mayaman kahit di masyadong nakapag-aral.. wala lang ‘toh, papampam.. haha
Congratz to manny pacquiao!!
tumahimik nanaman buong ‘Pinas kanina
Im not downgrading Silliman. I agree that it can be superior to DLSU and others too. WIFI narin tayo ah. =)
Yes, Pacman did it again dispite the dirty tactic that Barrera did to him!
Lahat ata huminto [walang away muna, nagkakaisa] para manood sa laban ng “Pambansang Kamao.” Buti pa si Pacman, kayang kayang pag-isahin ang lahat. Yong mga senador at congressmen, di kya. Sya pa yong dahilan sa pag watak-watak!
^ ha? kaya nyang pag-isahin ang lahat? the mere fact na maraming nagtatalo-talo at nagpupustahan kung sino ang mananalo sa mga laban niya ay sign ng hindi pag-iisa. sabay-sabay lang sila nanonood, that’s all. Elaborating my point is way off the topic of this blog entry, though. hehe. By the way, congrats to the Animo Team for winning the 2007 UAAP Men’s Basketball Championship. You really deserved it.
bakit hindi na lang natin tanggapin ang ranking ng mga schools na to and from there isipin natin kung pano natin mapapataas ang mga ranking nito at madagdagan pa yung mga universities na makakapasok dito… may crab mentality parin even sa mga schools…
CLARIFICATION:
i just want to defend la salle for being stereotyped na mga mayayaman lang ang mga studyante dito… masakit naman diba paggrumaduate ka tingin sayo mayaman lang… well totoo may mga mayayaman but not all…
kahit yung mga walang kaya pwede din…ako umaasa ako sa scholarship na binibigay ng Cultural Arts para makabawas sa tuition… hehehe kung matalino ka talaga kuha ka ng scholarship para makapasok ka sa DLSU ganun lang yun…
at dagdag lang may nabasa ako regarding UP na kagagauhan lang pinaguusapan nila at puro tambay???… hindi ibig sabihin na pag asa magandang school ka at nageenglish kayo eh mas may kabuluhan na yung sinasabi ninyo.. you have no right to say that…
i agree that other shools ay may kakayahang makapasok sa ranking nato kay magtulungan tayo hindi manlait.. bow
La Sallista:
i’m just stating facts. tingnan mo naman passing rates ng board exams (pls see above rankings)ang taas taas ng nakukuha ng Siliman . Siliman is seemingly unpopular inst its unpopularity can be attributed to Tagalog’s myopic treatment of their big 4
congrats! PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MAYNILA at no. 9
and also to Siliman univ at 4TH and USC AT 11TH
congrats nga pala kay PACMAN. Sayang di ako nakapanood i was at St. Teresa’s College to attend Rainbow Conference. mayron ba kayo video clips dyan?
So happy Pacman won na nman! Go Philippines! Itaas ang bandila..HEhehehe..;)
taga cebu ka raffy?
To Raffy:
Ano ba naman yang Rainbow Coalition na yan at tinaon pa nila na laban ni Pacman, hehe… Whatever, if you enjoy brawl in boxing, you may not like last Sunday’s fight kase natuto na si Barrera. Dumidistansya na sya kase alam nyang di sya ubra makipagsabayan kay Pacman. Sorry, out of topic na, hehe (uli)..
actually i was born in Bohol (dili ko ija ija aho aho ha) but studied in Manila and lived for about 4 years in Laguna. Ngayon nandito nako sa Cebu. ive been here for years. pero Bisaya jud ko.
i watched the Pacquiao-Barrera fight nalang on you tube medyo labo eh. Pacquiao is as strong, expert in his profession as ever. He’s able to evade the punches despite the dirty tactics employed by Barrera. well well i’m also active kasi in community work so i had to attend the rainbow conference. i’m an active member of the SFC Couples For Christ. Somehow i gained lots of inputs in the conference. maganda rin yun our wisdom being guided by the Word Of God. ok back to the topic…
ANYWAYZZZ.BACK TO THE TOPIC NA MUNA TAU GUYZ…BAKA MA SHOCK UNG OPERATORZZ NG SITE NA ‘TO DAHIL GINAWA NG BOXING FORUM NI PACQUIAO..INSTEAD OF SCHOOL STUFFS..Heeheeheehee..
ahhh… ok…hehehe.. Go UP! Go Bisaya! ahhhhmmm… Go Pacquiao??hehe
im back again para magbigay ng latest news….
According to the CHED here is the top 3 state universities in the Philippines.
1. UP
2. Mindanao State University
3. West Visayas State University
Top 3 lang po… Tnx
Na notice nyo po ba… wala ang WVSU sa mga rankings nyo. Dahil po kasi sa ang target ng WVSU is to be one of the top ten universities in SEA, International po ang standard namin, at hindi sa mga….._________nyo!
DLSU over ADDU is true..I used to study in ADDU nung 1st year ako but on my 2nd year my parents told me to transfer to DLSU,i find DLSU education system better than ADDU…Galing ng mg prof…..
There are schools in the provinces w/c are underrated and unpopular but have good standings in the board exams. They are occupying 14th spot(URIOS COLLEGE), 19TH and 20th spots (MCU, USP)respectively all coming from Mindanao. They don’t have to shout but simply shine, unrecognized due to lack of exposure but imprints a sterling legacy in the academe, humble but exalted, simple lang pero matinik, if you school is one of the top twenty then be proud you belong to one of the finest institutions in the country. Imagine there are more than one thousand schools, colleges and universities established in the land that to be on top one hundred is already a high honor.
Outstanding provincial universities/colleges, in terms of licensure performance:
1. Silliman U – Dumaguete
Consistent in nursing. Had a bad year in
engineering (50% overall)
2. MSU-IIT
No. 3 in engineering, next to UPD & UPLB
3. West Visayas State U (Iloilo)
Consistent high passing marks in
physician, nursing and techers’ exams
4. SLU – Baguio
Consistent in architecture, nursing,
physician. Had a bad year for CPA (25%).
5. USC
6. Xavier U – Cagayan De Oro
7. Ateneo De Davao
8. Cebu Institute of Medicine
9. TUP-Visayas
One of the best engineering schools in
the country. Somehow better than DLSU
& UST.
10. Batangas State University
Another engineering hotshot; in the level
of DLSU & UST
11. Saint Paul U – Iloilo
One of the top nursing schools.
12. UP – Iloilo
13. UP – Tacloban
14. MSU – GenSan
15. MSU – Marawi
16. Velez College – Cebu
Honorable Mentions (magaling kaso di pa consistent):

2. Velez College
3. DLSU – Dasmarinas
4. DLSU – Lipa
5. CPU – Iloilo
6. CLSU
7. Negros Oriental State U
8. UNO-R
9. University of St. La Salle – Bacolod
10. Cagayan State U
I’d like to take up engineering in college. Right now I’m choosing among MIT/UST/DLSU. Observation lang po. Why is it that MIT is well known as ‘the best engineering school’ but when I checked their board exams performance — 40% — ang baba! It may be true that the school produces the most number of engineers but its passing rate is quite low for a top engineering school. Sabi ng tito ko from Cebu, ganun din daw sa Visayas with CIT claiming the distinction. I checked CIT’s performance and its only 30%!
xax 1989:
You know what?? I find you boastful…
Hehehe…. No offense ha??? just giving my opinion…
Sorry to Siliman, 2007 na po ngayon ang ranking na ito ay hanngang 2000 ata. Malaki ang naging pagabago from 2001- 2007.

to Estudyanteng Pinoy
i don’t know where you got your information or maybe it is just your opinion. Cebu Institute of Medicine and Velez College-Cebu is only one school.. one more thing, your honorable mentions contain Velez College.. may iba pa bang Velez College sa Pinas? wala na ata eh. sa Cebu lang.. so anu b talaga? honorable mention o no. 16 yung Velez College/CIM?
If we are to base the best university in the country on the financial successes of its graduates, I’d say nothing beats FEU. The top two richest men in RP, according to Forbes, are Henry Sy (Net worth: US$4B) and Lucio Tan (US$2.6B) –both FEU ‘products’. I’m not from FEU (Thomasian ako), defend ko lang mga lumalait sa FEU.
These are my top universities per field based on PRC/CHED/THES/PAASCU, peer reviews, prestige, alumni achievements, etc. I’ll sum up the top 5 but if lacking that means malayo pa ang susunod:
Accounting: 1.UPD, 2.DLSU, 3.UST, 4.UP-Iloilo, 5.UP-Tacloban
Agriculture: 1.UPLB, 2. CLSU, 3.MSU-Marawi
Architecture: 1.UST, 2.UPD
Business: 1.DLSU, 2. ADMU, 3. UPD, 4.UAP, 5.FEU
Dentistry: 1.CEU-M, 2.UE-RMMMC
Engineering: 1.UPD, 2.UPLB, 3.MSU-IIT, 4.DLSU, 5.UST (TUP-Visayas & Batangas SU are very near)
IT: 1.DLSU
Law: 1.UPD, 2.ADMU, 3.UST, 4.SBC
Medicine: 1.UST, 2.UPM, 3.FEU-NRMF, 4.UE-RMMMC, 5.CIM (PLM & St. Luke’s are very near)
MedTech: 1.UST, 2.UPM
Music: 1.UST, 2.UPD
Nursing: 1.UPM, 2.UST, 3.Silliman, 4.SLU, 5.SPU-Iloilo
Pharmacy: 1.UST, 2.UPM
PT: 1.UST, 2.UPM
Teacher: 1.UPD, 2.DLSU, 3.UST, 4.USC, 5.WVSU (SLU & PNU-M is quite near)
your schools are useless if you have a pea as a brain and you don’t have the virtues. no matter how genius the person is if he doesnt have virtue he is still considered an idiot
popoy if ul ask me, i think velez college-cim is consistent enough to be at no.16.
Daemon:
Pls wait for the rankings to be concluded in ten years . Recent rankings of PRC are good for five or so years coverage. So that’s not conclusive yet.
sorry po sa lahat pero what i can say is hindi naman lahat ng nagtatapos sa top 20 universities sa buong ‘pinas ay nabibigyan ng magandang oppurtunity, pupunta nga sila sa ibang bansa bagsak naman nila caregiver ng mga matatanda and besides hindi pa tayo pasok sa top 250 universities in the world according to the Times Higher Education Supplement-Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS) World University Rankings, compared to USA na halos lahat inagaw na nila from the very first rank up to the last, kaya kung pwede lang tama na sana ang payabangan, iisa lang naman ang pupuntahan natin when time it comes. opinion lang po.
If we will base the best university in the country on Forbe’s Top 40 Richest Filipinos, FEU will lead the race. The first two slots were comfortably occupied by its alumnus — Henry Sy (Assoc. of Arts in Commercial Studies; Number 1 with net worth of US$4B) and Lucio Tan (BS Chem Eng but did not finish; Number 2 w/ US$2.6B). Huwag laitin ang FEU, it has many distinguished personalities in its alumni as well.
for me the best universities in the Philippines are the following:
1. West Visayas State University
2. Central Philippine University
3. St. Paul University
wla kayong laban dito…
To hiskul:
Dont be discouraged with MIT because of its overall passing rate. In the last two years, close to 2000 of its grads took the board and around 800 passed, almost the same number of passers of UP/DLSU/UST combined in the same period. Tsaka napakarami ng Mapuans who distinguished themselves in their fields. One is Dado Banatao, inventor of S3 graphics. You won’t enjoy your computer screen right now without it. He’s the Bill Gates of the Philippines, who made himself a multi-million dollar man in America.
To Estudyanteng Pinoy:
UC-BCF is a good performer in licensure exams. Sa bar nga, nakaka-2 topnothers (as in number 1) na ito. However, sa overall passing rate, around 40-60% pa lang nakakayanan nya kaya di pa nya kayang dikitan yung Provincial Top 15 enumerated above.
To cometothinkofit:
True, no contest about that. In addition to that si Amb. Alfonso Yuchengco (RCBC) is also an alumnus of FEU. I think he’s in the top 20 richest Filipinos.
To aoc:
WVSU and SPU-Iloilo palaban talaga. Pang-Philippines’ Top Ten ang kalibre. CPU kulang pa. I think West Visayas’ finest should rank like this:
1. Silliman (Dumaguete) – only WVSU is competing with its consistent high passing marks in board exams. TUP-V is also consistent but limited to Eng’g courses only.
2. WVSU – (Iloilo)
3. UP-Iloilo
4. SPU (Iloilo)
5. UP-Miagao
I think next na dito TUP-V (Talisay), CPU (Iloilo), NORSU (Dumaguete), USL (Bacolod) & UNO-R (Bacolod)
i acknowledged your being resourceful enough in gathering your data. only i observed that the mode of you voice is getting high if not being aggressive. well, on the other hand, its not unusual and its healthy i second though. so, just continue and be brave enough to stand tall in behalf of your strongest belief. Good Luck!
by the way, i graduated at CAGAYAN DE ORO COLLEGE, Cagayan de Oro City. Haven’t heard that before? You may include it in your facts search anyway for 5 points.
This forum has been running for about a year already. Several opinions have been heard, so what’s the bottomline here?
yes there are no arguments about that. FEU alumni made their university popular, they excel in all aspects of life……….
all universities are good because they teach us morals in life so, to all don’t be too engrossed with the rankings as they are not accurate (i.e. THES-QS, shanghai jaio tong univ.-academic survey, webometrics, etc). even our local rankings, we must not be swayed.
cool lng kau guys….basta ala lang siraan…hehe..theres nothing to argue about this…we can all make proud of our school…
naunsa na ba, bati-bati na ta, karon kay si kuya raffy na pud ang nasuko sa ato, nyehehehehe…
naunsa na ba, bati-bati na baya kita, karon kay si kuya raffy na pud ang nasuko sa ato, nyehehehehe…
what???????? wa ko nasuko uy, dong otin. bitaw uy padayon lang. remind lang gud ko we must do our best even if we are not studying in a top four inst. ug dili ta mag salig sa mga ranks kay dili gyud na sila kasaligan. ok ang kalinaw maana-a kaninyo
to raffy
amen… hahaha
to raffy
maanaa usab kanimo… hahaha
anaa pud kanimo kuya raffy, ahehe.. musta na lang jan sa cebu.. diha baya ko sa cebu ug bohol niadtong july (3 months ago; 1 week vacation).. nindot gyud kaayo uy! esp. bohol (balicasag island the best for snorkelling!).. u may want to see some of the pix sa yuwie, multiply or friendster (leave me ur email and il invite u there)…
It’s nice to know that UP is still number one in the Philippines and 299th in the world. I agree with previous comments that UP should’ve done better had the government did something to fund the institution without imposing the tuition hike. Imagine a thousand per unit! That’s a few hundred pesos away from the likes of ADMU or DLSU.
I think that the malappropriation of government funds has gone worse. This is a wake up call to voters. Please, vote wisely! Remember that the Congress has the power of the purse. UP students, as well as the students of other state Us may certainly have the brains, but without enough funds, sayang lang.
Just sharing hehehe…

i came from SLU baguio then i transferred to UC-BCF …well all i can say is this 2 universities are the best universities in northern philippines..
Nice choice dude! SLU and UC-BCF are collaborating in terms of academic programs…yan nga ata dalawa magksma sa north eh..
I also heard about those news u posted…
To Livana:
I agree with you that the University of the Philippines [UP] should be ahead of other universities in the country for reasons that:
1. Among the public HEIs, UP gets the biggest share of the budget. Tapos gusto nyo pa dagdagan and budget. Kawawa naman yong ibang HEIs. Puro naman hingi kayo ng hingi sa government at wala kayong sinusukli kundi rally against the government instead of helping it! Mga ingrato! Magpasalamat kayo dapat kasi taxes namin yan ginastos sa pag-aaral nyo!
2. Dapat lang kayo mag perform better, if not best, in all examinations! Kayong mga taga UP ay well-selected ika nga, the Cream of the Crop.” Piling pili ng UP ang lahat na mga graduates. Tignan mo closely kung sinu-sino itong nag compose ng lahat ng boards sa PRC, halos lahat taga-UP. Mas madali dapat pasahin ang examinations dahil alam nyo ang line of thinking ng mga ito!
Pacensya na kung ganito ako nag over react sa comments mo!
I’m sorry but I already said so!
Uhmm. Excuse me, Roque. Gusto ko lang ipaalam sa iyo na hindi lang po allotment ng funds para sa UP ang gusto namin. Ang gusto namin ay higher subsidy for ALL state colleges and universities (SCUs)–please read Livana’s post carefully. SO ang ibig mong sabihin dahil sa government-subsidized ang pag-aaral namin eh hindi na naman icricriticize yung faults nila? Ganun ba ang gusto mong sabihin? Besides, napaka-shortsighted naman para sabihin mo na ang alam lang ng mga taga-UP ay magrally ng magrally. We do help the government. The fact na marami nga na maraming taga-UP na nasa PRC boards is a proof. Shame on you, taga DLSU ka pa naman.
You should think before you talk.
Why should I’ll be ashame? To whom should I be ashamed of? Sayo… excuse me Gian Palo Samson! I’m paying my taxes! I have all the right to say so!
I would like to bring out to you Gian Paolo Samson Senator Mariam Defensor’s observation about our present leaders… Clearly according to her, we are led by almost all UP graduates whether in government or in private… See, where we are now? Mabuti yong sa private, they are doing excellent! But many of those in public service, my God, halos lahat Corrupt!
That’s a fact…. sorry Gian Paolo Samson!
I mean Gian Paolo Samson, they either tolarate CORRUPTION in government or be part of it!
Kung sana, they fight against it, asensado na sana ang bayan nating Pilipinas… Nasaan ba yong maka-nationalistic na UP graduates!
Have I already thought before I talk?
I repeat: Shame on you for your hasty generalizations, Mr. Roque (and I am not saying that you should give any apology to me). What I meant was that you should have researched first that not all UP students are not the traditional activists. It’s just the same hasty generalization that all La Sallians are rich but stupid (which I do not believe, personally).
Isa pa, kanina ang sinasabi mo kanina ay wala kaming utang na loob dahil “wala [kaming] sinusukli kundi puro rally”. My goodness, common sense and economics will tell you that the fund allotted by a country to education is directly proportional to the economic development of that country, and, sadly, hindi enough yung binibigay ng government natin. What is wrong with requesting for more funds, when in fact we are not requesting funds not merely for UP, but for all state universities and colleges as well?
Kung sinabi mo kaninang walang utang na loob ang mga taga-UP dahil nga sa mga corrupt officials nito (which you did not), I would’ve partially agreed with you. Wala talaga silang utang na loob. But, geez, para sabihin na ang buong UP population ay walang utang na loob?!
redundant ‘kanina’ haha
WE tolerate corruption? How come? “Kung sana THEY fight against it….”
How about you?
hindi sya napublish kanina. hmm.

Gian Paolo Samson:
I’m not apologizing you but to those who are part of this… Shame on you too!
Why should I be ashamed? I did not insult anyone or any institution. I did not generalize. I only corrected your wrong perception of us UP students, and I hope you won’t take that personally.
boo. ayaw ipublish yung sinabi ko kanina. wala naman akong sinabing bad words ah. hahaha.
to roque
please bear in mind that even if you are an alumni of lasalle, you still represent the institution and the values that it strongly upholds. with your candid words – you have easily put shame to our school. (oo, lasallista din ako)
to all – please no degrading of other schools. we are all intelligent and mature (hopefully) individuals here. it is interesting to see provincial schools speaking up for their alma mater, hands down to you guys. you have the capability to outdo manila based universities… but still… animo lasalle.
Look who’s talking! If you won’t respect my comments, mas lalo na ako! Truth hurts!
Anong gusto mong perception na gusto mong i-buo naming non-UP sa aming kaisipan sa inyo… na kayo lang magaling? …na kayo lang ang tama?
May tama ka nga!

…”I hope you won’t take that personally”… pini-personal mo na nga ako kanina pa!
Sa totoo lang Gian Paolo Samson, marami akong ka-officemates at mga kaibigan na taga UP but never ako nagpapababa… I always think I’m better than them!
Ikaw, student ka pa lang, you are telling me to be ashamed? Aba, mukhang di tama yon! Kasama sa budget nyo ang malaki kong taxes yearly para paaralin kayo! Kaya, hwag kang magmamalaki!
Sa amin, di kami pina-aral ng bayan kaya walang sinu mang mag-insulto sa amin!
In a democratic society, we are all free to have our own opinions. Therefore, I respect your right to have your own opinion, however short-sighted it may be. However, a democratic society also allows us to criticize and contradict others’ beliefs, as long as there’s respect. That’s what I am doing. Now, if you’re going to contradict mine (my opinion), then suit yourself. As far as I know, I am not taking this exchange of words personally–how about you?
I never said in any of my posts here na “kami lang ang magaling”. You can check all the comments posted here if you want. I personally believe we can all excel and contribute to knowledge and the development of the country. So how can you say that what you said above (“[kami] lang ang tama”, “[kami] lang ang magaling”, and such)was what I had had in mind? What you are doing is making conclusions out of thin air and committing a fallacy of hasty generalization.
pinepersonal? Can you give any proof for that?
It’s good for you if you think you’re better than them. I never told you na magpaapi ka sa sa mga taga-UP or anything like that.
Do you have any grudges towards us UP students? Pansin ko lang. Kasi ang sinabi ni Livana, natutuwa lang siya dahil nagawa pa rin naming mag-top dun sa list kahit na inferior yung facilities namin and sana madagdagan pa yung budget ng gobyerno para sa education para lalo kaming mahasa. Then kung anu-anong pinagsasabi mo like mga “ingrato” kami. Isn’t that mean?
At sinong nagmamalaki? Sinong nang-insulto sa iyo? Ako? Ang sinabi ko lang naman ay hinde basehan ng pagiging “ingrato” ang pagrarally, at kahit man basehan yun, hindi mo pa rin masasabing “ingrato” kamng lahat dahil hindi naman kaming lahat ay rallyista.
Sa nakikita ko, mukang may nakabangga kang taga-UP noon na pinagmayabangan ka or minaliit ka pero please lang, don’t take it out on all of us.

Alam namin ang UP, bilang isang institution, magaling na magaling talaga!
Unang una, todo suporta ito ng government [pinalaking budget nila compared mo sa lahat na HEIs dito sa Pilipinas]. Di naman problem sa pag-allocate ng lupa para gawing campus. Malalaki pa. Nasa Kongreso ngayon yong UP Charter Act, mas lalong aasenso ang UP.
Unlike private instituions, except of course those church-related institutions kagaya ng UST at marami pang iba, ang lalaki ng lupa nila at tax-free pa. Kawawa yong non-church related, they have to put up their own. Laki pa ng taxes na babayarin.
Pangalawa, well-selected and students nila [biro mo di ka makapasok kung di ka kasama sa top 10 at dapat pumasa ka sa UPCAT].
Unlike other schools, they have to content with those remaining students, karamihan, para sa kanila. Pero di naman ito disadvantage. Kasi, maraming magagaling na citizens din, in fact kasama sa “among the riches in the world” na di UP alumni/ alumna. Mas magaling yong paaralan na naka-produce ng graduates na magaling out of ordinary.
At sinong nagmamalaki? Sinong nang-insulto sa iyo? Ako? Ang sinabi ko lang naman ay hinde basehan ng pagiging “ingrato” ang pagrarally, at kahit man basehan yun, hindi mo pa rin masasabing “ingrato” kamng lahat dahil hindi naman kaming lahat ay rallyista.

Short-sighted pa ba ko nito Gian Paolo Samson?
correction lang: hindi mo kailangang maging part ng top 10. So what is your point here? Na di namin narerealize yun? Roque! We do! Pero sana maintindihan mo na UP used to be the school for those who are intelligent but are poor. And dahil sa kulang na budget na binibigay ng gobyerno, napilitan ang UP na magtaas na tuition nila. Dahil doon, bumaba ang enrollment sa amin (In fact, the College of Social Work and Community Development registered 0 freshmen enrollment this year). Dahil din dun sa nangyari sa amin sumunod na ding magsitaasan sa ibang public colleges and universities. Nagresulta rin ito sa mabababang enrollment. Sayang yung mga estudyanteng may potential sana pero hindi makapag-aral. Now, tell me, are we being “ingrata”? (wahh sana mapublish na ito kanina pa hindi napupublish mga tinatype ko eh)
Hahanguin ko na lang yung analysis na binigay ni Michael Tan of Inquirer (see the blog entry in this page):
“…Third, the state needs to invest in universities. The THES list is clear in showing that, with the exception of the United States and the Philippines, the leading universities in every country are state-owned. Sure, UP is the leader in the Philippines, but in other countries, several state universities – not just one — made it to the THES list.”
Inuulit ko po: hindi lang pondo para sa UP ang hinihingi namin kundi pondo for all state colleges and universities.
At dahil hindi napupublish kanina, uulitin ko din: The amount alloted by the government to education (i.e. ung pinuhunan mo sa iyong human resources) is directly proportional to its growth. Economists will tell you that.
Isa pa, are you aware na malaking part ng budget namin ay napupunta sa pagmamanage ng Philippine General Hospital?
to ROQUE
you know what, from your statement, “Sa amin, di kami pina-aral ng bayan kaya walang sinu mang mag-insulto sa amin!” ganyan ka ba talaga? porke’t nakapagtapos ka na ay ganyan ka na kayabang? at sapagkat kaming mga UPian ay pinag-aral “lang” ng bayan ay pwede mo na kaming insultuhin? Mag-ayos ka nga.
la lang nagulat lang ako at may bagong ‘telenovela’ na namang aabangan dito, hehe.. roque dude i really think that many of your points thrown at UP and Gian Paolo Samson are agreeable. however the latter is more eloquent (also agreeable; ang gulo ko yata) and civil in delivering his opinions kaya i’d rather side with his. reminder lang, wag mo kaming tularan, ahehe! peace! peace!
nasa propesyon ako ng pagtuturo ngayon.
dati, nung hs ako, mga mid-eighties, ibang-iba ang choices ‘nun ng mga nakatapos sa mga tinaguriang top hs dito sa maynila. up noon ang gusto ng lahat. ngayon naman, nagbago na ang panahon. ang dlsu ay respetadong-respetado na at ang admu ay masginagawang priority kesa sa up ng marami. hindi ko sinasabi na mas nakakarami. sa opinyon ko, mas marami parin ang gustong mag up. gagulatgulat lang itong parang mad-rush to admu ngayon. hindi pa ata ito naranasan ng admu kahit kailan. ewan ko kung marami lang may crush kay chris tiu. talaga naman kasing matalino yung bata at pogi ‘din. magaling siya mag piano, mag tres sa basket (3pt shot) at m.e. pa ang tinapos. mas guwapo man at dean’s lister si simon atkins sa mabigat na tri-sem system ng dlsu, ‘di naman siya m.e. tulad ni chris. ang balita ko pa, si chris ay ubod ng yaman ang pamilya. ang problema lang kay chris ay meron siyang tics (papikit-pikit yung mata parang ilaw pang pasko) at peke ang pinapakita niyang kasosyalan kasi siya ay intsik. kung nalalaman niya lang ang bulong ng mga galing ahs sa likod niya, baka hindi siya nagpapakamatay sa pamantasan niya. haaaaaaaaay. dapat ay pinagbabagsak itong mga ingratong ito. buti na lang matatalino sila.
mabalik tayo sa panahon nung pagpasok ko ng kolehiyo. ang laking gulat ko nun sa katotohanan. pagdating sa pambanderang kurso, sa up, ang magagaling ay galing phisci, qsci, kung ano-ano pang sci at ahs. sa admu, kagulat-gulat man, ang mga galing lsgh ay dean’s listers. at sa dlsu, galing chinese schools ang mga hari. alam ko ito kasi buo ang napakalaking barkadahan namin kahit iba’t iba ang pinasukan namin.
so dumating din ang panahon na nakatapos ako ng kolehiyo. pakiramdam ko, walang mangyayari sa buhay ko kaya kumuha ako ng abogasya. sa klase namin, puro taga up; mga 15 galing admu; at pakalatkalat na mga dlsu at ust. parang thes din diba? dito lang nga, lamang ang admu sa dlsu. hehehe. so ayun na, nagumpisa na ang klase. pinamalas na ng mga taga admu ang kanilang pagka-clannish at ang up naman, kabobohan sa ingles. grabe talaga. meron pang parang jimmy santos. wika nga ng isang prof, “that is your trade in craft. improve your english please!” yung mga taga dlsu naman at taga uste, mga ligaw na bata. kung kani-kanino lang sumasabit. nagkalagas-lagas tuloy sila, bale na sipa. natira sa kanila tig-iisa pero 1 & 2 nung class. weird ano?
nung nagtrabaho na ako, nakita ko na may katotohanan ang sinasabi ng mga atenista tunkol sa pagpili ng mga kumpanya. ang starting offer sa galing admu, minsan, umaabot pa ng 50% na masmataas sa kakumpitensiya niyang galing dlsu para sa parehong posisyon. ngunit, isa pang kagulatgulat din, ang nasa top management naman na galing dlsu (at masmarami sila), degree lang nila ang hawak. ang mga galing admu dun (na maskakaunti) kailangan may hawak pang post-grad na titulo. napansin ko ito sa tatlong malalaking organisasyon kong napasukan. ganun din ang napansin ng aking mga kaibigan sa labas.
kung sino ang masmagaling, bahala na kayo sa mga biases niyong nagpapatanda sa inyo.
what i just wrote has a lot of b.s. i sprinkled it with some facts just so it will appear real. lesson: don’t get info in blogsites!
lesson2: it’s not trade in craft. it should just be trade craft.
peace guys.
What do you mean by “mag-ayos” popoy 13534? Talagang pa-aralin lang kayo namin… That’s true and you can twist the fact! Anong sober adjective ba ang gusto mo para sa inyo? I said “namin” dahil kasama ako sa nagbabayad ng taxes, unfortunately malaki ang binabayad ko sa government para part nito goes to the education budget and to your school… Ikaw ang umayos!
Whatever Gian Paolo Samson, responsibility ng UP Administration yan to budget the resources allocated by Congress and to implement necessary strategies like socialized tuition, etc. Ang point ko, my taxes also goes to UP budget. And it’s all my right as a taxpayer!
Otin, thanks for your concern…
Malala yata mga isip nitong mga estudyante [mention ko itong si Gian Paolo Samson and Popoy 13534 in particular baka ma-akusahan na naman ako nito ng "generalization"] ito ng UP…
Ang puntos ko lang naman ay ganito: …hingi kayo ng hingi, may banta pa, na taasan budget nyo… …bakit di nyo puntahan yong ng prepare ng budget ng school nyo at tanungin nyo kung bakit ganito lang budget na prepare ninyo?… …bakit di nyo puntahan at magpikit kyo sa Congress para madaliin yong UP Charter nyo?…
…kasi dapat di kyo umasa lang sa budget na ini-allocate sa inyo ng government… …dapat bilang COD kyo [3 lang ang COD ng business, kasama dito ang DLSU at SU] ng business ng CHED dapat ipa yong entrepreneurship isama din. Gumawa kyo ng paraan na kumita para madagdagan budget nyo to maintain “Excellence…”
Correction lang sa earlier kung comment: …instead na “you can twist the fact…” dapat, it should be …”you can’t twist the fact!…”

I was on leave yestreday and i missed the thrill. hehehe you know i what i mean nagkarambola lagi na sila.

Wala man mi magkarambola uy! Pero kung gusto nila, sigi pod, arya gyud! Di gyud ta magpalupig nila!
to Roque
well salamat po sa taxes mo! yes we can’t change the fact na pinapaaral lang kami ng bayan. o baka gusto mo i-point out na ikaw pa ang nagpaaral sa amin? well fine! ikaw na kung ikaw! pero ang tanung, nagbabayad ka b ng buwis para kaming mga UPian ay mapaaral? o dahil ito’y isang obligasyon lamang?
kahit yung tax mo ay nagpapaaral nga sa amin, does that give you the right to insult us?
at isa pa Roque, gusto mo yatang ipalabas na ang laki ng naitulong mo sa amin? alam mo, kayabangan na ata yang lumalabas mula sayo. nakita lang namin yung totoo mong ugali. hindi bukal sa iyo ang tumutulong kundi gusto mong maipakitang may naitulong ka at maghambog.
correction:
tumulong instead of tumutulong
Masama ba na pondohan ng republika ang mga mag-aaral na naghihikahos sa pera ngunit matatalino? Sa tingin ko nga ay dapat ang edukasyon ay para sa lahat at hindi lamang sa mga may pera. Kaya nga mayroong mga pampublikong paaralan at pambansang pamantasan. Sa katunayan nga ay tungkulin ng estado na panatilihing maganda ang pambansang pamantasan. Isipin mo bakit pa tinawag na Unibersidad ng Pilipinas ang aming pamantasan kung ipagkakait sa amin ng republika ang pondo na nilaan para rito?
Isa pang punto ko na nais kong sagupain ay ang panglalahat sa mga mag-aaral ng UP. Hindi naman lahat ay radikal na aktibista at nagrereklamo sa bawat hakbangin ng gobyerno. Mayroon ding mga mag-aaral na ipinaglalaban lamang ang mga bagay kung talagang lantaran ang katiwalian, at naghahanap ng mas magandang solusyon kaysa sa pagrereklamo.
Hindi kami mga ingrato sa pamahalaan dahil hindi ang pamahalaan ang nagpapaaral sa amin kundi ang sambayanang pilipino. Sa mabuting pag-aaral at pakikisangkot sa mga isyung panlipunan kaming mga iskolar ng bayan tumatanaw ng utang na loob sa mga nagbabayad ng buwis at tumutulong sa aming pag-aaral.
Huli, hindi dahil nagbabayad ka ng buwis ay may karapatan ka nang bansagang “ingrato” ang mga mag-aaral ng UP at ng iba pang state schools. Mantakin niyo sana na may mga mag-aaral din ang UP na nanggaling sa mga pamilyang nagbabayad ng buwis. Sa pagkakataong ba iyon ay maari nang angkinin ng mga mag-aaral na ito ang pribiliheyo na nakukuha nila? Ibig sabihin ba nito na akong taga-UP na galing sa pamilyang nagbabayad ng buwis ay maari nang bansagan ang mga mahihirap kong kamag-aral na “ingrato”? Hindi nila kasalanan na ang mga magulang nila ay hindi sinisingil o hindi makabayad ng buwis.
Sana lang ay maintindahan ng lahat na ang mga mag-aaral ng UP ay hindi mga linta sa lipunan. Bagkus, ang kanilang pribilehiyo ay kanilang pinaghirapan mula sa kanilang pagsisikap makapasa sa UPCAT at manatili sa UP. Iyon lang po. Ang aming subsidy ay hindi hiningi ngunit ipinagkaloob mismo ng republika noong 1908 sa mga mag-aaral na kinakitaan ng estado ng angking galing upang maging mga pinuno ng kinabukasan.
nyek ang daya naman ayaw mapublish ng comments ko. hmm.
(Haha thanks Sir Otin for the compliment.)
“Ang puntos ko lang naman ay ganito: …hingi kayo ng hingi, may banta pa, na taasan budget nyo… …bakit di nyo puntahan yong ng prepare ng budget ng school nyo at tanungin nyo kung bakit ganito lang budget na prepare ninyo?… …bakit di nyo puntahan at magpikit kyo sa Congress para madaliin yong UP Charter nyo?…”
->
It also seems that you are not aware how the budget of SCUs are approved. Ang tanging magagawa lang po ng nagbubudget for UP and other SCUs ay magbigay ng proposed budget sa Congress. After that wala na kaming magagawa kung hindi maghintay kung anong magagawa nila. Unfortunately, in recent years, laging half (or less pa nga)lang ang naapprove.
Nagbabanta? Hahaha. Anong meron kami para takutin sila? Please, Roque, do not insult my intelligence. Contrary pala to what you think, may lobbying efforts din para mataasan ang budget namin–contrary to what you think, hindi puro rally sa UP.
Another correction: We are not the most favored institution of learning by the government. It is, in fact, the Philippine Miltary Academy, at around 8000 per day per cadet. (Source: http://www.bulatlat.com/news/5-3/5-3-cadet.html)
Unless my interpretation of Popoy’s message was incorrect, sinasabi lang niya na hindi mo kami pwedeng matahin dahil lang sa isang state U kami nag-aaral, considering na wala pang piso ang nacontribute mo sa tuition naming dalawa. Kung susundan ko kasi yung logic mo, pwede ko rin palang sabihin na pwede kitang matahin dahil we also pay our taxes, and part ng pinanggastos para sa paggawa ng kalyeng dinadaanan mo ay galing sa amin.
Unless my interpretation of Popoy’s message was incorrect, sinasabi lang niya na hindi mo kami pwedeng matahin dahil lang sa isang state U kami nag-aaral, considering na wala pang piso ang nacontribute mo sa tuition naming dalawa.
hahaha ayan tagpi-tagpi na ang message ko dahil ayaw mapublish pag buo.
Roque:
hehehe linguistic man diay ka bay. just take hold of your emotions ( keep it nice and slow). Bilib sad ko nimo da daghan kaayo ka research. Keep it up!
Besides, hindi naman nagrarally yung mga rallyista (I am not one of them, FYI) sa tapat ng bahay mo, so hindi ko alam kung bakit galit na galit ka sa amin.
At anu ba talaga? Parang sa sinasabi mo kase kanina, magtiyaga na lang kami kung sa anong ibibigay sa amin (which is unfair kase we deserved better; all SCUs deserve better), then ngayon gusto mo kaming magpicket? actually, kahapon pa ako nahihilo sa kahahabol sa lumilipad mong arguments.
Di rin pala nagwork yung socialized tuition, dahil kung iisipin nga naman, nagtaas ng tuition para may added funds. so ang nangyari mas naging mahigpit sa pagkuha mula sa lower brackets than the upper brackets.
And yes there are also efforts to increase the revenue, pero hindi kase pwedeng doon mo i-asa lahat dahil baka macommercialize na masyado (we all know what happens when an institution is overcommercialized). Bago mo pa sinabi yan, matagal na siyang ginawa ng UP. Walang mali sa paghingi ng dagdag na funds dahil hindi naman kami nagpapabaya.
Just a thought triggered by ROQUE and Gian Paolo Samson:
‘Sa amin, di kami pina-aral ng bayan kaya walang sinu mang mag-insulto sa amin!’ – ROQUE
It is reasonable for ROQUE to expect humility from the ‘iskolars ng bayan’ kasi nga when you pay a lot for your tax tapos eventually kunsumisyon ang babalik sa yo eh nakakasama nga naman ng loob. When I drive and pass by many baku-bakung daan, nadidismaya ako. When I read news of unaccounted hundreds of thousands of pesos of gift-giving during government official meetings, naaasar ako. When I see UP studes palaging nasa kalye carrying suggestive posters as if sila lang ang may alam kung pano patakbuhin ang gobyerno, nadidismaya ako.
Masarap magbigay sa gobyerno, thru tax, kung maayos at efficient ang paggamit dito. Sorry pero napipilitan lang din ako mag-tax (kasi automatic deduction) dahil sa mga kadahilanang ito. Btw, I contribute around 140K a year to the kaban ng bayan.
Ponder on this UPians: the richest Filipino is FEU alumnus Henry Sy (though I read just recently parang natalbugan na sya ni Ayala in 2007 rankings). Sy is a productive Filipino – a major economic contributor for progress, an economic driver, that is. On the other hand, the (Guiness) record holder for the world’s most corrupt is Marcos, iskolar ng bayan. Of course, for years UP has been producing numerous productive people also but have they brought the country to the point of progress? Isang iskolar ng bayan lang (Marcos) bumagsak tayong lahat.
Tama lang din naman siguro sabihin na umayos naman kayo.
Hi Otin. ^^ Ang gusto ko lang namang sabihin sa kanya ay mali po na ijudge natin ang isang buong institution dahil sa mangilan-ilan nitong bad eggs na naiproduce. Katulad nga ng sinabi mo, marami rin naman OK na graduates ang UP tulad ni Ramon Magsaysay (president noong ‘Golden Age’ ng Pilipinas) at Ninoy Aquino (I hope sana ako din balang araw). Lahat naman tayo ay nakakapagproduce ng bad eggs.
Hindi naman LAHAT kaming mga taga-UP ay umaasta na parang kami lang ang tama.
Para tawagin kasi kaming mga “ingrato” ay insulto, dahil marami sa amin ay gustong makatulong sa bayan. Kung ang pagiging rallyista (Hindi ako rallysta, FYI) sa inyong opinyon ay pag-asta na parang sila lang ang nakakaalam kung paano patakbuhin ang gobyerno, gusto ko lang ipaalam sa inyo na unfair naman sa kanila yun lalo na ang gusto lang naman nila ay dagdag na suporta.
Malimit ding naikakabit sa mga taga-UP ang pagiging rallysta, when, in fact, mas marami na ngang ganun ngayon sa ibang state university tulad ng PUP kesa amin.

Tama ka dyan Otin [unsa gud ni bay! di ba pwede bag-uhin nimo ang imong ngalan?], UP has been producing the best and the worst!
I have been under-estimated by “Eskolar ng Bayan…” pero isa ako na nag contribute ng pambayad ng tuition nila in the form of taxes. Kaya sabi ko mga ingrato sila!
Gian Paolo Samson at Popoy, di lang kayo ang pumasa sa UPCAT. Me too, I passed the UPCAT Exams in 1981 pero pinili kong mag-aral sa Silliman University at magtapos doon. I like the system, the campus, the peaceful atmosphere, the people there… Pinili ko rin mag-aral sa De La Salle University – Manila for my masters degree [Biology]…
Immediately after my graduation, I taught at Silliman University, then at OB Montessori and at the Philippine Christian University. Right now, I’m the training director of the largest pest control company in the country and I’m the secretary of an NGO.
I’m now sharing with Gian Paolo Samson and Popoy my blessings! I hope you two guys could show to the whole world that you could make the difference!
Wow, Roque, you obviously did not get my point. Ang akin lang naman, mula pa sa unang pagsagot ko sa comment mo, ay huwag mo sanang ibrand kaming lahat na mga taga-UP na mga ‘ingrato’, ok? Tulad sa sinabi kong hindi napost dito, wag mong isisi sa aming lahat kung ano man ang ginawa ng isa sa amin. simple lang di ba? Wala naman ako ditong balak makipagyabangan or whatever else na pumasok sa isip mo.
*ah ayaw talagang mapublish*
you didn’t get my point, did you? ang akin lang, simula kahapon pa, ay huwag mong ijudge kaming lahat as ‘ingrato’, ok? wag mong isisi sa aming lahat kung ano man ang pagkakamali ng isa sa amin
simple lang di ba? wala naman akong balak makipagyabangan or kung ano pa man yang pumasok sa isip mo. wala rin akong planong makipagtalo sa ‘yo kung sino ang mas magaling.
nga pala, natatawa naman ako everytime na ang tawag niyo ay Gian Paolo Samson. ang buo kase. hahaha.
hahaha! go gian!
If we include the criterion of our rankings the no. of beauty queens that a university produces, what do you think will emerge as the frontrunner? well, i think it’s still UP. uhm, i’m not from UP i’m from PLM. i just admire the school since it has got not only brains but beauty as well. Does it have any relevance to this post? yes. Because they say beauty and brains should come in the same package….If your school is excellent, it should also consist of students possessing excellent looks. They say beauty comes from deep within but it also shows in the outside and be manifested by your outward looks. It exudes in the way you look, you speak – that’s eloquence and you carry yourself…..ok i’m just really attempting to shift the topic to appease your anger or to give you some entertainment.
let me recall this:
…. if your school is excellent it should also consist of students possessing excellent looks… not necessary but it’s a plus factor
Word for the Day: ‘diversion’
wahaha!
You’re good Roque. I’m soooooooooooo proud of you. Pero sana naman cool ka lang. Wag mo sana pag-initan kaming mga UPian. Yes i know we have some negative attitudes. But we also have positive ones. Pero anyways, tama na ito. I’m tired of arguing. God bless po sa lahat!
i’ll have my piece of opinion: sa kagandahan ng mga kababaihan, i think UP and UST but UST is my best bet. Tantya ko lang, hehe..

The same message goes to PMAers. SANA UMAYOS DIN SILA. Parang awa naman nila. Namp*cha mas malaki pala budget sa kanila per student! Kaso ang matitino sa PMA maagang namamatay (o pinapatay?).
hoi otin! wa kay laing pwede ipangalan nimo? kataw-ana man gud kaayo paminawon..hahaha!
hoi otin! wa kay laing pwede ipangalan nimo? kataw-anan man gud kaayo paminawon..hahaha!
To popoy (nangengealam ng pangalan):
Ganun… w8 a minute kapeng mainet…. okay wish granted, i’ll change my name from Otin to BatotoyBibo.. pamasko ko na sa yo yan ha, hehe…
Test lang, hehe…
To Otin:
Ganon din yon [sagwa talaga, he, he, he]… pasencia na… yong “batotoy,” the same lang din ng “otin” yan. Lain nalang unta bay!
To Gian Paolo Samson and Popoy 13534:
We have already expressed and brought out our thoughts/ opinions/ etc., and of course, over-acted [particularly in my case] about them. Those things are just “word wars…” There’s really nothing personal about them. I think we need to cool down.
Let’s collectively focus other issues like the “Times Higher Education Supplement-Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS) World University Rankings that ranks universities across the globe in yearly surveys…” I doubt their reliability; their manner of conducting them involving around 45,000 universities worldwide in so short a time; their method which is peer evaluation; among others. Good for UP, DLSU and ADMU that they are included.
In my masters [Master of Science Teaching, major in Biology ako sa DLSU-Manila], we studied various evaluations for educational institutions. I know that evaluations, to be credible, must be pre-tested first and they must be refined, not once but many times.
Even our own CHED, when they ranked our schools/ colleges/ universities, various parameters are included to be credible. We have about 1,000 institutions but it took them some
time to complete the rankings.
Ok ba sa inyo ito?
Bumaba ba talaga ang quality ng education natin? Siguro on one side, but on the other side, siguro hindi… kasi marami tayong doctors/ nurses/ other-related fields na magagaling talaga abroad; mga teachers natin, the best abroad, just lately, may kababayan tayo in the US na pinarangalan dahil sa nakakabagong systema o style ng pagtuturo nya; marami tayong computer experts abroad na magagaling talaga, sino ba yong nang hacked na Pinoy na natakot ang buong mundo; mga PTs/ OTs natin di lang magagaling kundi may puso pa for the job; in Asia, tayo yong pinakamaraming female ceo/ coo/ managers; sa sea, tayo yong the best seamen in the whole world; sa larangan ng outerspace, our fellow scientists at NASA invented the moonbuggy; sa electricity, tayo inventor ng flourescent lamp, di sana mas maliwanag ang buhay ng mga tao sa mundo kundi di sa atin; at marami pang iba.
Ito ba’y mga indications ng kababaan ng quality ng education natin?
O sadyang may mga iilang schools/ colleges/ universities tayo dito na “diploma mills,” di pa kasama dito yong “Recto University…”
Like for example, Silliman University… It didn’t become university when it started in 1901. It was thought as a reformatory industrial school for boys. You can visit SU’s website: http://www.su.edu.ph for more details.
Yes, yes, word wars will be just word wars. ^-^
Actually, even President Roman of UP doubted the credibility of the THES rankings. In fact, hindi nagparticipate ang UP dun sa evaluation na ginawa nila kaya nagulat siya na UP is in the list. It’s in a 2007 issue of the UP Forum. You can check it out at http://www.up.edu.ph. Kaso ilang days ko ng hindi ma-access yung site. Ewan ko kung bakit.
CLSU NUMBER ONE SA INYO LAHAT PERIOD…………………….SALAMAT
CENTRAL LUZON STATE UNIVERSITIES ANG PANG ALL OVER THE WORLDS……ANG GALING NG MGA STUDENTS……….TOPS SA LAHAT…..
SORRY NALANG SA MGA IBANG SCHOOL….THANKS
Ito na Gian:
Announcement: UP foregoes participation in THES survey, Monday, July 23, 2007
The University of the Philippines decided to forego its participation this year in the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) project of ranking the world’s universities according to pre-selected indicators, due to time constraints.
UP President Emerlinda R. Roman enjoined the chancellors of all constituent universities to disseminate this information “especially in the event that the [THES] survey will still include UP even without its consent (as it did last year).”
Otin salamat sa pagtupad ng request ko… hahaha!
Roque, ewan ko sa THES-QS na yan… I’m a person who believes easily on surveys conducted basta sa tingin ko ay mapagkakatiwalaan. But i know there are some nga kutikutihon gyud ang pag-investigate sa surveys..hehe… well i can’t blame them… ah basta i’m doing my best now for my family and for the country… Char! hahaha!
to otin:
according to the fortune magazine 2007 edition…Henry Sy is the #1 richiest fipino w/ total of $4B asset, next is Lucio Tan w/ $2.8B, 3rd is Ayala and 4th Gokongwei..etc……
unbeatable na c henry sy..na share ko lang……gd
If you’re looking for a more objective survey, check the survey done by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. ang criteria nila ay alumni and staff winning prizes and awards, articles covered in major citation indexes, highly cited researchers, articles published in journals Nature and Science, and per capita academic performance of an institution
ang source nung citation and publications data ay yung indexes ng Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Ang criticism nga lang sa nasabing survey eh biased siya sa science-and-technology-centered universities at mga old universities as well. Unfortunately, wala pang nakakapasok na Philippines university diyan sa top 500 or kahit sa top 100 ng Asia Pacific
correction: “…wala pang nakakapasok na [Philippine] university diyan…”
So what does this survey show? Kulang pa ang country natin sa internationally published researches. Karamihan ng researches done ay either unpublished or locally published lang, na hindi naman napapakinabangan ng international community dahil most international scientists eh sa mga indexes lamang tulad ng ISI tumitingin.
pits, inadjust yung 2007 ranking, eto na raw ang latest:
1. Jaime Zobel de Ayala (US$2.0B)
2. Henry Sy (US$1.7B)
3. Lucio Tan (US$1.6)

To Carol:
I’ve read similar posts from other sites wherein they tell the world that they come from this or that school but their english grammar, even so basic, is so wrong and so funny. i think you guys do it intentionally to destroy the reputation of a good school like central luzon state u.
otin:

raffy:
honestly, i don’t know why do they have to run naked. In fact, here in UP-Cebu, some of the ‘runners’ run with shades as, kumbaga pantakip ng mukha…hindi na mask… cguro sa susunod ay wala na talagang takip sa mukha..hehehe… well as what some of my classmates said, all they want is freedom. Ganyan naman talaga karamihan sa mga UPian di ba? freedom, freedom, freedom… and the oblation run is just a freedom of expression… and i can’t say they are wrong… no wonder most, if not all fine arts student in UP go in favor with pornography in painting… it is an art according to them… ikaw anong say mo? hehehe…
waaaaa! taga lapu-lapu ka raffy?
thank you nalang sa lahat… indi na ko sari ka comment di ah… tak-an ko!
Hi Otin,
i’ve watched (in a detached manner) the ‘ebbings’ and ‘crestings’ of arguments (honestly, i thought some were no-brainers, to say the least) and the attendant strong (sometimes) emotions in this forum. thanks to you for tempering/moderating the exchanges. it seems the forum would now finally draw to a close. btw, thanks for mentioning my school as one of the best four, aside from the usual bests. pag naa kayo chansa na maka-adto sa city of pines, perhaps you might fancy doing a walk of some of the schools/universities. would be happy to show you around didto. just let me know. i did and still do development works in mindanao and the visayas – so trying hard ko mag-binisaya (and i did understand most of what you and the other true-blue visayans were saying in cebuano). incidentally, your name in my far-north Luzon mountain dialect refers to the same body part in Cebuano. ciao

1. University of the Philippines – Diliman
2. Silliman University
3. De La Salle University – Manila
taga lapu2x pud ko raffy…hehehe
To Kiko:
Thanks for sharing. Pansin ko lang, among the top 20 you enumerated above, only UST (86%) and PUP-Sta.Mesa (57%) have more than 100 examinees. The rest konti lang mga examinees. Thus, for schools with more than 100 examinees, these institutions top (using your data above):
1. UST, 191/223, 86%
.
.
.
2. PUP-Sta.Mesa, 259/453, 57%
3. Xavier U, 58/107, 54%

To mark, CAROL and vic santos:
Kung taga-CLSU talaga kayo please ayusin nyo naman ang posts nyo. For sure many will agree on CLSU’s good reputation kaya wag nyo naman sirain yun with your bad english skills.
Kung hindi kayo taga-CLSU, then wala namang ganyanan. Walang siraan. Pupurihin ang school using grammatically wrong statements. Tsk tsk…
mao ba? it’s a small world.
dhong:
hehehe all i can say is that with the advent of modern or high tech. even our manner of writing is affected. to suffice your inquiries, let me give you some examples, anyway is written as anyways, get as gets mo, and some words are written backwards to give the meaing as toyab instead of bayot, lalake as ekals di ba popoy? how dare, they do these. As students pls refrain from doing such in your correspondence otherwise, it will jeopardize your school’s prestige.
it’s a world of laughter, a world of hope and a world of fears…hehehe
hay si popoy naa ra na nagpuyo sa likud amo bay.
sorry ha nahut dan nako tagalog. wa na man gud ko sa manila dugay nang panahon. anyway, tangkilikin nato ang sariling ato!

To raffy:
I think what Dhong was referring to was not really the effect of technology on our communication skills. He’s after the elementary grammar na minamali pa:
‘CLSU NUMBER ONE SA INYO LAHAT’ – mark
‘CENTRAL LUZON STATE UNIVERSITIES ANG PANG ALL OVER THE WORLDS’ – CAROL
‘kaya kme alam namin lahat ng works sa fields after graduated.. kaya sa ibang Bansa kame priority to hired for that positions’ – vic santos
Since three individuals na pawang sablay sa elementary english pa lang and claiming to be coming from CLSU, eh minus points to sa school na nirerepresent nila.
kiko:
Well.. ang iba kasi satin nagmamadali sa pagsulat kaya tuloy sa pagmamadali eh balibali.Baka ganun yun. At siguro naman matatalino din yung mga yun kaso nga lang di nila ginamit ang kanilang angking talino. They just take it for granted. If you try to analyze the manner of writing, they were done as if they were written in SMS for text messaging.(hahahah redundant)
kaya nga ingat kayo sa pagsusulat ha maraming mata ang nakatitig and we are on-line. oo nga naman the grammar is so basic yet we failed to distinguish between right and wrong. eh tagalog na nga mali pa ano pa kaya kung everything is stated in distinct English? hum minus nga ito sige kumuha kayo ng papel dyan at isulat kung sino yung nagkakamali ng grammar.(at i-report sa school, naku ha may mali din yung iba kung grammar hahahaha)
anu ka ba naman raffy, basahin mo ulit (di ganun ang SMS-like writing)…
ooops sorry may pahabol ka pala na comment, hehe…

Pwede rin siguro nagkamali sila [those from CLSU] sa pagpost…
kadalasan kasi na-post na di man lang na-review kung tama ba mga yon…
I mean siguro sa bilis o excited lang sila…
Karamihan, akala nila pwede rin dito yong short messaging na nakasanayan na sa pagtext…
He, he, he!

ooops – my apologies for using your previous name, i missed out that u sincerely wished to change it. mao ba? am glad you like the cordi. yes, indeed, it’s sad that baguio has lost its ‘innocence’ (daghan na mga tawo with all the subsequent environmental deterioration). so u find the picture of the concrete jungle university good. i spent a good 11 years of my life in there. btw, far north are mountains (not as tall as Pulag of course) that are interesting to climb, particularly in that place where the white water (rapids) rafting is. i could also show you those, aside from the school walks.
On Elap: sad, sad, how the people heap adulation on a person whose actions has wreaked havoc on their own and other people’s lives. think of the floundering SSS and GSIS, just to mention one. tsk, tsk. if the number of people prancing with glee and joy at the release of this convicted plunderer is a measure of the filipinos’ character, the philippines is hopeless. would be interesting to find out where the fellow attended school. anyone out there who knows? pa-share naman. tenk yu!
Erap attended high school at Ateneo de Manila then went to Mapua in college but dropped out somewhere along the way… raffy di ba sa may Kalinga pa yung may white water rafting? Sobra layo pa nun sa Baguio, hehe…

Can anyone provide a valid list of top universities based on CE, CD, and Board Exams Results per 2006-2007 records?
I know everyone has the right to their own opinion but we need facts, okay?
Thanks!
Please… anyone?
hahaha! murag dili pyesta sa inu anang adlawa noh? hahaha…
Ei guys… about this statement:
“Xavier University (formerly Ateneo de Cagayan). This school is also prominent in high board ratings.”
We are still Ateneo de Cagayan… We carry it with our name: Xavier University. Here at our place we’re called Xavier University- Ateneo de Cagayan. We just added the “Xavier” to honor the patron saint of our school: St. Francis Xavier.
That name was given when XU received its university status. To quote Fr. Francisco Araneta S.J., Rector when the Ateneo de Cagayan became a university, explained that the change of name “merely crystallized an old spirit that always had been the soul of all Ateneos, the spirit of learning and service, the spirit of purposeful scholarship.”
I hope that was clarified.
Also, I don’t feel the need to compare the Ateneo institutions… We’re all Ateneos! And for crying out loud, we share presidents bawat campus..! Ung dating president ng XU president na ngaun ng ADDU so… basically kung iicipn mo… parepareho lng kami lhat… ung nag differ lng is ung pagpapatupad ng programs for the school’s advancement, ung ibang subjects at ang location ng school.
TO GEARUP_22:
“At nga pala… Xavier U pala ang pinakamayaman na Ateneo School? Is that True? May nakausap ako na Jesuit, sinasabi nila na mayaman ang XU kasi maraming properties sa Cagayan de Oro na binenta makailan lang (ginawa yatang Xavier Estates? tama ba?). Kaya pala siguro mababa ang tuition dyan sa inyo, Popo. May isang ateneo na pinahiram ng XU for their building, di ko lang alam kung anong ateneo… but nagtutulungan naman daw ang mga ateneo schools…
Sana ganun din ang school ko… pero walang sister school ang school ko…”
Yeah, XU is the richest Ateneo. It’s because of the properties nga and the said Xavier Heights. It also has Housing areas and it has a lot of auxiliary units to support the school. ^_^ Yup, nagtutulungan ang mga Ateneo…
I’m glad that this thread isn’t all about bashing each others schools.
Mjo i’l post the top schools in terms of prc performance 2006-2007 soon as i complete my data. Yung iba jan na may latest COE/COD pa-share naman…
for sure many of us will be surprised sa prc ranking that i’ll be showing because many very little known universities outside metro manila rank very high in prc exams..

What is San Carlos University [source: http://www.usc.edu.ph?
Carolinian (kãr’o lin yan or kã ro lin’yan) is a student of the University of San Carlos who is
a witness to the Word and a witness to the World. It also means a citizen of noble character who is true to
the University’s commitment to excellence.
Since it pioneered systematic education in the Philippines as a small colegio founded in 1595, the University of San Carlos (USC) continues to become a leading academic institution in the country.
Today, USC offers a broad spectrum of academic programs through its eight colleges. It consists of four campuses located in the different areas of metropolitan Cebu – the Main Campus, the Talamban Campus, the North Campus, and the South Campus.
The USC’s reputation as a leading Catholic school providing quality education attuned to the needs of a fast-changing world, has been proven by the constant enrolment of students coming from different regions in the Philippines and abroad.
As the oldest school in the country, USC has left behind a long tradition of education geared towards producing not only qualified professionals but leaders in the different fields of science, technology, and the humanities.
At the core of the Carolinian formation is the harmony of science and faith, the mark of the SVD (Society of the Divine Word) mission in education.
Life in the ever-expanding “universe-city” is a balance between serious academic pursuits and fun activities. A predominant life of learning in the campus is spiced up by the student’s exposure to different sports, religious, cultural, and social activities, meant to achieve the time-honored vision of “a sound mind in a sound body”.
San Carlos Univewrsity:
Vision Statement
The University of San Carlos sees:
A WORLD where the darkness of sin and the night of
Unbelief vanish before the light of the Word and the
Spirit of grace.
A SOCIETY where citizens are competent, noble in character, and community-oriented:

The USC Today:
“They say that England was built in the playing fields of Eton. I, meanwhile, was molded in the playing fields, classrooms, and chapels of San Carlos.”
John L. Gokongwei, Jr.
Filipino industrialist and tycoon
Crossing the threshold of the 21st century, the University of San Carlos (USC) continues to train future leaders as it did in the past by providing them with holistic quality education in an environment conducive to learning.
With an evangelizing zeal, the University also undertakes research aimed at producing and disseminating knowledge that is not only new but is relevant to the current needs of its immediate milieu, in particular, and the world, in general.
Various scholarships, research grants, and exchange programs for faculty facilitated through linkage with local and foreign academic institutions, foundations, and other sponsors, enrich USC’s teaching capability. The University has also been recipient of foreign-funded development programs that not only enhanced its facilities but also affirmed its prestige as a catalyst for change in the Philippines.
Foreign students, lecturers, and researchers come annually to USC for short and extended visits, adding to the multicultural character of the Carolinian community.
The Silliman University [Source: http://www.su.edu.ph:
Past:
It was immediately after the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1898, by which Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States, that a retired businessman and philanthropist of Cohoes, New York, walked into the Manhattan office of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church and presented a generous and totally unexpected proposal. The man, Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, wanted to establish an industrial school for Filipino boys, and offered the sum of $10,000.Although the board secretary, reportedly, felt it was too early to think of opening something like a school in that remote part of the globe, the visitor’s interest remained in the Philippines.
To Americans of zealous evangelical Christian sentiments, the relative swiftness with which the Philippines became a U.S. possession in 1898 served as an urgent invitation for them to come in to insure that a religious dimension, quite apart from political and military objectives, should be strongly felt in the administration of the new territory.
Dr. David Sutherland Hibbard, a Presbyterian pastor of Lyndon, Kansas, who sailed with wife, Laura, was commissioned to make the exploratory trip to determine the best location for the third mission station (Manila was their first station, Iloilo, second), as well as for the proposed school. A suggestion offered him during his stopover at Cebu led him to Dumaguete on nearby Negros Island. Arriving in Dumaguete, he was greeted with the warmth and friendliness of the people. After meeting with the local folks and officials of Dumaguete, he went back to Manila convinced that he had found the right spot.
On August 28, 1901, Silliman Institute was established. As Dr. Hibbard recalled 50 years later:
“There were fifteen boys that first morning. The equipment consisted of four long desks about ten feet long, two tables, and two chairs, a few McGuffey’s Readers, a few geographies, arithmetics and ninth-grade grammars. I was President; Mrs. Hibbard was the faculty.”
As the student population increased, the Institute also struggled to put in place a suitable curriculum. It was in 1910 when Silliman was awarded government recognition and the right to grant a degree. In the same year it was incorporated under the laws of the Philippines. By Board action in 1912, girls were admitted to the Institute. Silliman won full recognition as a university in 1938.
Present:
What started as a school with only 15 young boys and humble resources is now considered as among the Philippines’ top institutions of higher learning. Over 7,000 students from around the country and the globe trust Silliman with their future.
The University is located on a beautiful 62-hectare campus with the sea at its frontage and the majestic Cuernos de Negros mountains in its background. It is an hour away by plane from the bustling capital of the country, Manila.
At Silliman University, we see our success in the future of our students. It is our mission to provide the highest quality Christian education to those who quest for knowledge. We open our Gates to both Filipino and foreign students, and continue to commit to offer them no less than an education that leads to a career which concept of fulfillment and success involves faithful service to God and fellowmen.
It is the conducive residential campus life that sets Silliman University apart from the other leading universities in the Philippines. Corollary to this sense of community is the so-called “Silliman Spirit” — an atmosphere of personal closeness, warmth, friendship and concern that can only be found in an institution that aims for the holistic development of the person.
We journey with our students at Silliman. But it is our belief that although graduation day marks the end of that journey, their experience on campus is one that will forever guide them and serve as their source of hope and inspiration when they embark on their individual journeys.

HISTORY OF SU SCHOOL OF MEDICINE:
By: Jonathan C. Amante M.D., F.P.C.P., F.P.S.N
The present effort started on October 20, 1997 when the first meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee was called. This was attended by Dr. Jonathan C. Amante, Prof. Reynaldo Y. Rivera, Dr. Brenda V. Diputado, Dr. Lynn L. Olegario and Dr. Erlinda Lim-Juan at the Cunningham Hall. This was a brain-storming meeting, covering the issues on curriculum, physical plant, and related concerns.
On October 21, 1997, Dr. Amante consulted with Dr. Fernando Sanchez in Manila, the latter being the Chairman of the Task Force on Reformation of Medical Education and past President of the Association of Philippine Medical Colleges (APMC). The results were reported to Silliman University President Dr. Agustin A. Pulido, VPAA Teresita Sy-Sinda and the members of the Ad Hoc Committee. Another serial follow-up meetings were done in Manila until November 6, 1997 where the plan to hold a Symposium on Innovative Medical Curriculum was finalized. This was held at the Cunningham Hall on November 29, 1997, facilitated by the members of the Task Force attended by the Silliman University Administration, Ad Hoc Committee and the prospective faculties.
After two more meetings in February and April 1998 in Manila of Dr. Amante and Dr. Sanchez with the Task Force members, Dr. Reyes and Dr. Tantengco, a Workshop on Medical Curriculum planning was scheduled and implemented on April 24-25 1998. This was followed by another meeting in Manila on May 6, 1998 for re-evaluation. Meanwhile, the prospective Faculty Teachers’ Training was started on January 31, 1998 and almost every Saturday thereafter at the Cunningham Hall. This was conducted by Prof. Reynaldo Y. Rivera, Silliman University Registrar, Dr. Betsy Joy B. Tan, Dean of College of Education, and Prof. Loreta Lachica, Director of the Office of Instruction. The training ended on June 6, 1998.
Subsequently, the Silliman University Medical School Program proposal was endorsed by the University Academic Council on August 18, 1998 for opening the following school year 1999-2000. But the Board of Trustees (BOT) deferred the decision. It was only during the BOT’s meeting on January 11, 2003 that a decision was reached: to open the new Medical School in School Year 2004-2005 on the basis of an updated feasibility study and provided that quality of education is maintained.
An updated Feasibility Study was conducted then by the 1998 Ad Hoc Committee, together with VPAA Everett Mendoza, Internal Auditor Mr. Jenny Chiu and Registrar Annabelle Pa-a. The results later presented for re-evaluation to the Board of Trustees on January 31, 2004. Finally, the Board of Trustees approved the medical school program on March 20, 2004. Dr. Agustin A. Pulido publicly announced the approval during the Silliman University Commencement Exercises the following day. The Commission on Higher Education approved the program for School Years 2005-2007 during its 243rd Commission en banc meeting on April 25, 2005.

The results were reported to Silliman University President Dr. Agustin A. Pulido, VPAA Teresita Sy-Sinda and the members of the Ad Hoc Committee. Another serial follow-up meetings were done in Manila until November 6, 1997 where the plan to hold a Symposium on Innovative Medical Curriculum was finalized. This was held at the Cunningham Hall on November 29, 1997, facilitated by the members of the Task Force attended by the Silliman University Administration, Ad Hoc Committee and the prospective faculties.
After two more meetings in February and April 1998 in Manila of Dr. Amante and Dr. Sanchez with the Task Force members, Dr. Reyes and Dr. Tantengco, a Workshop on Medical Curriculum planning was scheduled and implemented on April 24-25 1998. This was followed by another meeting in Manila on May 6, 1998 for re-evaluation. Meanwhile, the prospective Faculty Teachers’ Training was started on January 31, 1998 and almost every Saturday thereafter at the Cunningham Hall. This was conducted by Prof. Reynaldo Y. Rivera, Silliman University Registrar, Dr. Betsy Joy B. Tan, Dean of College of Education, and Prof. Loreta Lachica, Director of the Office of Instruction. The training ended on June 6, 1998.
Subsequently, the Silliman University Medical School Program proposal was endorsed by the University Academic Council on August 18, 1998 for opening the following school year 1999-2000. But the Board of Trustees (BOT) deferred the decision. It was only during the BOT’s meeting on January 11, 2003 that a decision was reached: to open the new Medical School in School Year 2004-2005 on the basis of an updated feasibility study and provided that quality of education is maintained.
An updated Feasibility Study was conducted then by the 1998 Ad Hoc Committee, together with VPAA Everett Mendoza, Internal Auditor Mr. Jenny Chiu and Registrar Annabelle Pa-a. The results later presented for re-evaluation to the Board of Trustees on January 31, 2004. Finally, the Board of Trustees approved the medical school program on March 20, 2004. Dr. Agustin A. Pulido publicly announced the approval during the Silliman University Commencement Exercises the following day. The Commission on Higher Education approved the program for School Years 2005-2007 during its 243rd Commission en banc meeting on April 25, 2005.

nice to know those stuffs (news about SU qualifying for debate finals, UST celebrating 400 years, some universities’ history and mission-visions, at sobrang daming iba pang bagay-bagay.. ).. what’s the point?
request granted ang galing ni roque wala ako ma say…
just a question, can a school’s endowment influence the rankings of the universities in THES-QS. fyi, pls find below some of world’s univs biggest endowment:
IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS
harvard univ. = 34 billion $
yale univ = 22 b $
princeton univ. 14 b$
dartmouth college = 3 b$
univ of pennsylvania = 5b$
compare them to some of our schools
U.P. = 90 MILLION $ (based on 5 billion php endowment)
PLM = ABOUT 7 MILLION$
naku ang layo ng endowment natin sa mga foreign schools…
Woah! US$34B endowment for Harvard? Is this government or private? Or both? Where’d you get that info? Very relevant Kuya Raf, paki-post naman yung link. Sana meron ka rin similar info for Philippine universities. Thanks!
From Kiko
nice to know those stuffs (news about SU qualifying for debate finals, UST celebrating 400 years, some universities’ history and mission-visions, at sobrang daming iba pang bagay-bagay.. ).. what’s the point?
To Kiko:
My point Kiko is to present all information about universities that are considered BEST!
Previous posts kasi panay bragging… wala naman proofs na best university nga… to the point na personalan na…
May I know your school Kiko so I could search for its info [mission-vision, facts, etc.] for me to share it here? Thanks…
Ok?
Those endownments of the members of the Ivy league are secured by themselves or through their generous donors. But I doubt those endowments from UP or PLM. Probably they put up by the government.
SU is established through the help/ donation of Mr. Silliman of the USA. Most of the buildings, facilities and properties of the University are generously donated here [by friends, alumni, benefactors, etc.] and abroad including the United Board of Christian Schools in Asia.
I misspelled the word “endownment.” I should be “endowment.”
hayz nkuh guys after I read this!!! All i can say lahat ng Universities here in our country is the best okay. Alam ko our dream is to be successfull in the future pro ang sekreto lang dyan ay dapat madiskarte ka wag kang tatamadtamad walang magic sipag at tiyaga lang yan mga tol.
this is getting more and more factual… weeeeeee
factual, yes but disorganized information.. anyone with the impressive ‘presentation’ of the best universities?
batotoy:
you can trace or get info from wikipedia x university. yung ivy league kulang ng tatlo yun the others being Brown university, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND ano nga ba yung isa pang member nakalimutan ko. yung harvard pakitingnan uli kung private yun or state univ. yung mga schools na yun are ” toughest to get into schools” in the USA(ivy league nga naman). YUN HARVARD UNIV. is the richest school in the world while Princeton Univ. is the world’s biggest per student endowment. comparre ko yun sa PLM, school ko yun kasi grabe namang outdated ang mga gamit ng PLM. naalala ko nga nung mag aral/research sa library madalas akong inubo kasi puro alikabok ang mga books!!!! ang UP naman ay govt subsidized ang endowment nila. yung mga private schools natin ay galing sa mga alumni ang kanilang malalaking endowment pero kung compare mo to sa mga american schools ay parang muta lang sa liit ang endowment natin. hindi ko alam mag kano endowment ng DLSU, ATENEO, UST, USC. SLU, SU etc. pero kung titignan mo kung gaano kalaki ang endowment ng school ay ganun ka prestige ang institution na ito. ok sige i try mo nga i research yung ivy league sa wikipedia.
hindi lang ivy ang malalaki ang endowment mrami pa dyan kagaya ng Standford Univ., MIT, UNIV. Of PARIS,CAMBRIDGE, OXFORD hindi bababa sa 5$ billion. so rich they could easily influence the scores in THES-QS rankings. samantalang sa Pinas ay kulangot lang kung ikukumpara mo.
Cornell Univ pala yung isa pa member ng ivy league. Several univs. are trying to duplicate the ivy league’s success in education by adopting its system. Siliman Univ. is being one of them.
Sa palagay ko naman hindi na kailangan pang impluwensiyahan ng mga binanggit mong unibersidad ang THES dahil their prestige already speaks for them. Hindi na kailangan pa ng THES.
I understand universities could not be run by tuition fees alone, they have to have funds, endowment fund is one of them for them to have quality education.
That’s why, universities have to go into business to earn aside from the traditional instruction, research and extension, the 3-prong hallmarks of quality education.
For tuition fees, take for example, DLSU, its tuition fee has reached from 50,000 – 70,000 by now… in late 90’s, nasa 18,000 – 20,000 lang… malaki na yon. Silliman also increases a lot. From mere, 4,000 – 5,000 in early 80’s to about 40,000 today.
Now, Silliman has invested on putting up the 3-storey Silliman Portal Building, the income [from space rentals] of which shall help in maintaining quality instructions and other services to students. Silliman allows Jollibee to be constructed/ established [following the old design of the Silliman Hall, the first building on campus] within the campus [after getting permission from the Heritage Commission] so that rental can help in the operations.
Hirap talaga… tapos students would rally pag mag increase ng tuition…
I have to various libraries [like DLSU, PNU, UP, etc.] but guys, I found SU library as the biggest.
SU library collections is one of the biggest in SEA. It is on-line and one of the few US depositories in Asia.
rOQUE:
We cant just say one library is the biggest by just looking at it’s physical aspect (I mean building, space, etc). I think the size of the library is based on the volume of its collections. Do we have a comparative data for that?
agree. some universities claim they maintain the largest museum and library collections but they don’t show proofs as to what made them the largest..

PIA Press Release
2007/11/06
Energy chief to attend Ipil-Ipil Drilling Project forum in Cebu November 7
Cebu City (6 November) — Energy Sec. Angelo T. Reyes will be in Cebu tomorrow (Wednesday), November 7, to deliver the keynote address of the public forum on the ‘Ipil-Ipil Exploratory Drilling’ Project in Tañon Strait set at 11:30 a.m. at the University of San Carlos Main Campus Auditorium along P. Del Rosario St., Cebu City.
The forum aims to address concerns of the different sectors from various municipalities directly affected by the project as well as the concerns of local government officials, fisher folks and other stakeholders in the area.
The Ipil-Ipil Exploratory Drilling Project started in December 2004 when the Department of Energy (DOE) and JAPEX Philippines Ltd. (a leading Japanese upstream company) entered into service contract (SC-46). The project has subsequently undergone the process of surveying the area for the possibility of oil and gas deposits. When the surveys yielded positive results, drilling will soon commence.
Since the area, however, was declared as a protected seascape by virtue of Presidential Proclamation 1234, an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) was requested in March 2006 to ensure the project will not cause harm to the fragile marine ecosystem. The request for ECC was granted in March, this year. To proceed with the project, a location site survey was done last July and this month, the project will drill an exploratory well to determine the quality of the oil and gas deposits.
The forum will be moderated by Prof. Rene Alburo and attended by officials from the DOE, Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Dept. of Tourism and representatives from non-government organizations and members from the academe such as Dr. Ben Malayan and Dr. Angel Alcala from Silliman University.
Also expected at the forum are the local government officials whose towns are directly affected by the project. (PIA-Cebu/FCR)

Yes, I agree with you, however, I would like to present to you the Silliman University Library System.
The Silliman University Main Library System began its services with only two bookcases and one small room in Silliman Hall. From this humble beginning, the library collection grew steadily.
Today, with its present magnificent edifice, some observers have been heard to remark that it could well be among the best in Southeast Asia.

The SU Library is host also the Philippine-American Educational Foundation [PAEF] for the Visayas and Mindanao areas.
As you know, the PAEF is a binational organization responsible for the administration of the Fulbright exchanges between the Philippines and the United States, the Hubert H. Humphrey fellowships, and the East-West Center scholarships. It also serves as a clearinghouse for information on educational institutions and programs in the Philippines and the United States.
PAEF was established through an executive agreement signed by the governments of the United States and the Philippines on March 23, 1948 to carry out educational exchanges involving students, academics and professionals from both countries. Since 1948, Fulbright grants have been awarded to 1,700 Filipinos and 700 Americans for graduate degree study, teaching and research in the Philippines and the United States. Close to 400 graduate degree awards and 2,000 non-degree grants have been given to Filipinos through the East-West Center program. Another 70 Filipino professionals have gone to the United States on Humphrey fellowships. The Philippine program is the world’s longest continuing Fulbright program. It has enriched several generations of Filipinos and Americans. Living in a different culture, forming lasting friendships with colleagues in foreign countries and sharing new horizons are all part of what has come to be known as the “Fulbright experience.”
Principal funding support for the exchange programs administered by PAEF comes from the United States and the Philippine governments. In addition, the Philippine Department of Agriculture, the Philippine Commission on Higher Education, and the Washington SyCip Family Foundation have generously supported the Fulbright Program in the Philippines. Other organizations and institutions, including US and Philippine universities (link to page which lists names of Philippine universities, which also links to the universities’ websites), contribute through direct and indirect cost-sharing.
While continuing to strengthen links with the academic and policy community, PAEF will broaden partnerships with the private sector and build new connections with business and philanthropic organizations in order to carry on its mission of recruiting the best and the brightest young leaders and professionals for the service of Philippine and American societies.
Organizations and corporations can be part of the best known and most prestigious scholarship program in the world by being a sponsor of Fulbright awards. Sponsoring a scholarship award or awards earns the institution the right to have its name linked to the prestigious Fulbright name. Organizations may also sponsor Fulbright publications and orientation programs for scholars.
The 3-storey SU Library System is complete of its amenites including AV and theater rooms.
Each college/ school of the University has its own library collections and periodicals.
To Roque:
A three-storey library building is not that big. And the facilities you mentioned were basic and standard for well-established universities. If you have visited UST, it’s central library (officially named Miguel de Benavidez Library) boasts of a six-storey mammoth building completed in 1990 (no info on total floor area though) at the back of the stunning UST main building. Di pa kasama dun ang branch libraries of Ecclesiastical, Health Sciences (Medicine, Nursing, etc.) and high school. And it’s been on-line since 1998. Just recently, another accolade was added to the oldest library in the Philippines (its roots dates back to the book donations of Manila Archbishop Miguel de Benavidez 400 years ago) when it was awarded Outstanding Academic Library by the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians.
Will try to get info on its volume of collections soon.
For more info and photos of the UST Library, visit this link:
http://library.ust.edu.ph/history.htm
I’d like to correct my previous post above about the library’s completion date. It was not 1990 but earlier – 1989. And about its volume of collections, currently it has more than 300,000 already, including the rarest and oldest books/maps/manuscripts my eyes have seen.
Now, can we have library info on DLSU, UP and ADMU? And perhaps, SLU, USC, XU. etc.

Yes, I have gone to the Central Library of UST. It is mammoth, really big… I expect that buildings here in Manila to be taller than the province counterparts.
Kahit 3-storey lang yong SU Library System, pero its wide and spaceous.The central part of the library is open and landscaped. It’s really conducive to stu.
Guys/ gals, if you happen to pass by Dumaguete City, dubbed as the City of Gentle People, I’m inviting you drop by Silliman University. The 63-hectare campus is magnificent, the campus by the sea. See/ visit the following at SU:
1. Silliman Hall, the oldest building built in 1901. Its American architectural/ structural design is preserved. It houses SU’s Anthrophological Museum that contains rear artifact collections
2. Luce Auditorium, the site of the cultural center in the South, is like the Cultural Center of the Philippines. But this facility is donated by Henry Luce.
3. Marine Laboratory, donated by USAID, has extensive marine life collections and maintains 2 marine protected islands [Sumilon Island, Santander Cebu] and Apo Island, Negros Oriental.These islands are very good diving sites.
4. Wildlife protected facilities.
5. Optic cables collecting all units of the University.
6. National Literary Center, the oldest literary forum in the Country run by the Tiempos.
6. Many more…
To ROQUE:
Thanks for the tips on the ‘must-sees’ at Silliman. For sure, when I get to Dumaguete for a visit, I won’t miss Apo Island and the famous university by the sea.
nosebleed……. hahaha/
it’s nice to interface and interact with one another regarding who’s the best of the best…comparatively we should not judge ones knowledge in general…alam naman natin na iba-iba ang mentalidad ng tao and it’s up to your capability to deal of what you would be one day…i work in a company wherein i come to get along from different schools and some became even my best friend outside of my hometown…andyan na graduate sila ng la salle,ateneo,ust,up-diliman,don bosco mandaluyong,adamsom u,feati,bulacan state,tup-visayas and other schools…probably its my humble personality kaya siguro naging malapit sila sa akin.far beyond,its still the maturity of handling your work and dealing with them is what is important for a good personal relationship with them…probably being meek and humble is my greatest facet that they come to like me…in a working environment one has to share his knowledge be whichever school you graduated for the best interest of the company…i’m sorry to say that what i have read along this columns is not beneficial for the good of our country,well i put things as being immature in nature or childish act for those who are conceited of being boisterous that of having graduated of your own prominent school…i’m just proud that my school isn’t much on the high-light of whose who in the top position of our country wherein some are the most corrupt personalities of the land…good politicians and good lawyers are one and the same as the best of liars in our country…let’s just be factual and condemn who they are…they went to the best university in the philippines …alumni of same university and yet they show bad examples of what kind of mentality they got…same feathers same together…sila sila rin nag-aaway kasi mga swapang at sakim sa material na bagay na kailanman di naman nila madadala sa hukay…and here are the famous taipan your bragging to be the most richest in our country earning millions a day and yet they’re just giving a meager part of their earnings to those whose make good of their business…are these the type of people that you people want to idolize…far away of the ideology during those times of our heroes, would die for the welfare of the country and his fellowmen…ngayon sila na mismo ang pumapatay sa kapwa nilang pilipino…come to think of if and comment to what i would say “a greedy person doesn,t have any contentment in life,his/her fulfillment is to reach their goal no matter who would cross along their way they would go into the extent of killing them just to reach their goal”
…it’s so ironic to see in our society that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer…well, i look up to you guys that you won’t be idolizing these people whom you are so proud to be an icon in these menace society…live a life in the most modest way and idolize those who fought for everyone’s welfare….theres lot that have change in our society since the day we became liberated…dati rati mga dayuhan ang kalaban natin ngayon sariling lahi na ang atin kalaban….ginagamit pa ang Diyos para sa kanilang masamang hangarin at binibigyan nila ng biyaya ang mga uliran mga mamayan na naging tapat sa paglilingkod na datapwa’t mga mababa lang ang position sa pinaglilingkuran na hamak na isang kain ing tuka ay naisip nya pa rin isoli ang mga bagay na kanilang napupulot…ang hangad lang naman nila ay maging ulirang mamamayan na dapat tularan….ngunit ano ang ginagawa ng iba,kanila pa kinakasangkapan para pagtakpan ang kanilang karumal-dumal na gawain at ito’t nakikita natin binibigyan pa ng pabuya na walang kamalay malay na manggagawa ay galing din sa nakaw(di ko po nilalahat kung sinuman ang pumiyok sya ang nangitlog)…for me, i take such actions being done only signifies that giving them reward in exchange for their honesty is strong action of saying….wag nyo na kaming gayahin na magnakaw at magpakita kayo ng kabutihan at gagantipalahan ko na lang kayo ng akin ninakaw.
what i would to imply in here is to be an honest and trusted servant of our community…kaya yun pinagmamalaki nyong mga taong ay dapat pinipili nyo …wag yun nagsasamantala sa kapwa tao…naging presidente/senador/congressman/topnotcher na abogado/human rights protector,parepareho lang naman sila kung mangurakot…di tayo bobo para sabihin nila na malinis sila,maraming loopholes ang batas natin na kaya nilang lusutan(yun nga lang di nakalusot yun isa…naging presidente pero nahatulan na magnanakaw)…saka yun mga negosyanteng mapagsamantala sa mga manggagawa,di pa kuntento sa panunupil sa mga empleyado di pa nagbabayad ng buwis…sino ngayon sa inyo ang makikiisa sa akin na ipagsigawan nyo ang mga taong ito na produkto ng inyong institution ang ipagkalat at isumpa nyo kung bakit sa inyong paaralan pa sila nagtapos….theres nothing wrong whichever school you came from what is important is you dedicate oneself beyond your ego for the good of the country…yun lang po.
by the way im proud to be a “LOUSIAN”…kadakayu nga kailyak ahan nyu kuma tularan dagiti tattau nga dagis…MABUHAY PO TAYONG LAHAT NA NAGKAKAISA SA PANANAMPALATAYA SA DIYOS…Let GOD be our guiding light.

A cultural renaissance in Dumaguete
By Joan L. Butalid
DUMAGUETE City has always been considered in the Philippines as the cultural center of the south.
Culture – in its various artistic modes from literature to performance to visual to film – always had a home in this city.
The Cultural Affairs Committee of Silliman University hopes to elevate the status of the community even further by taking the local artistic culture to new heights starting with the coming Cultural Seasons of 2007-2008.
The goal is to bring top cultural acts, such as Repertory Philippines, Manila Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Manila, Bayanihan Dance Company, Ballet Philippines, Tanghalang Pilipino, Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, or the Philippine Madrigal Singers from all over the country for the cultural education of the country for the cultural education of the community and at the subsidized price.
Silliman University also hopes to nurture local talents for them to achieve artistic success nationally and internationally.
As a leading Christian Institution of Learning in Asia, Silliman University is committed to the total human development for societal and environmental well- being.
The cultural affairs committee, under the leadership of chairpersons Mrs. Isabel Vista, Prof. Elizabeth Susan Vista-Suarez, Dr. Laurie Raymundo, Ms. Eva Rose Repollo and Prof. Joseph B. Basa, has continued its mission to bring to Silliman University and the Dumaguete Community various cultural representations.
The cultural season 2007-2008 was formally launched Tuesday November 6.
The second cultural season Tanghalang Pilipino presents GEE-GEE at Waterina on November 10, a lecture forum on Dumaguete Noir 20 on the process of personal art with artist Kitty Taniguchi on November 29.
Violinist Jay Cayuca will have a concert on December 1.
Another lecture forum on “The Art of Coffee Stains” on December 4 is slated while a performance lecture forum on the 7th is in line. Other concerts, shows, lecture forums are in line.
The university works to maintain and preserve the Luce Auditorium as center for Culture and Arts in the Central Visayas region, and to continuously cultivate and promote the passion of theatre, music, dance, and other forms of art expression among the students of the university as well as the rest of the community.

American Institutions Fare Well in British List of World’s Top Universities
American institutions dominate the latest edition of a ranking of the world’s top 200 international universities by the Times Higher Education Supplement and Quacquarelli Symonds, a company that provides career and education information. Fifty-seven American institutions made this year’s list, dubbed the “THES-QS World University Rankings,” which will be published online tomorrow. They include private universities, such as the eight Ivy League institutions, as well as public powerhouses like several University of California branches and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
The BBC News, in a report on the rankings, noted that British universities had improved their performance on the list, claiming four of the top 10 spots. But the rest in that group were American. Harvard University was ranked No. 1, while Yale University and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge tied for second place. Rounding out the top 10 were, in order: Imperial College London, Princeton University, the California Institute of Technology, the University of Chicago, University College London, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The THES-QS rankings, now in their third year, are based on reviews by faculty members and corporate recruiters, and measures such as the ratio of faculty members to students and how often faculty members’ publications are cited. The British list and a similar compilation produced by China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University have helped to fuel internationally the kind of scrutiny and discussion that such popular ranking systems have long provoked in the United States (The Chronicle, May 25).
Amid growing international competition for foreign students, and because of the influence such lists wield on students’ decisions about where to study, scholars increasingly are raising questions about the methodology the rankings employ. The authors of a recent paper in BMC Medicine noted a number of problems in existing lists and suggested that, absent improvements, such rankings should be abandoned.
Some of the Comments Comments:
1. Someone should certainly raise “questions about the methodology the rankings employ” when it puts Imperial College and University College in that top-ten group. Apparently, “located in London” is a hidden term in the quality metric. — S. Britchky Nov 8, 02:59 AM
2. Without bragging too much, it’s worth pointing out that the #1 North American public university on this list is McGill in Montreal, Canada! — patrick gutteridge Nov 8, 04:17 PM
3. The immaturity of these measures and rankings is shown by some universities rising a dozen points and others falling by similar amounts. This either means that the rankings are too crude, or that they are much too sensitive to the data used. Frankly, universities are pretty conservative enterprises, and it is highly unlikely that any one of them has implemented changes so dramatic as to allow substantial gains or declines in just a single year! Consumer beware… — Hassan Aref Nov 8, 06:03 PM
Harvard Leads World University Pack
November 9, 2007
Harvard University still reigns as top dog in the world university in the top 50 rankings put out by Times Higher Education Supplement-QS — UK’s definitive university ranking guide — on Thursday. Cambridge and Oxford tie for second place, along with Yale.
What’s different about this year’s rankings is an increasing internationalisation of universities — with 27 universities from 14 different countries entering the top 200 for the first time. However, while Chinese universities, as well others from Asia make it to the final 50, Indian universities have still to make a debut in the top 200.
Three Latin American universities make it to the world’s top 200, while even Africa makes a debut, with Cape Town ranked at 200. IIMs and IITs are not universities.
According to Martin Ince, who compiles and edits the survey, “The 2007 THES-QS World University Rankings are the most rigorous and complete so far. They show that the US and the UK model of independent universities supported with significant state funding produces great results.”
UK universities are closing in on their American counterparts, with University College, London, making it into the top 10 for the first time, and Imperial College, London, moving up from 9th to 5th this year. Chicago too, is a first time entrant into the top 10.
While the top 10 list is still restricted to the US and the UK universities, in the top 50, the addition to the Netherlands, 12 countries are featured in the top 50 compared to 11 in 2006.
Universities of Tokyo, Hong Kong, Kyoto, National University of Singapore, Peking, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua and Osaka lead Asian higher education, all featuring in the top 50. The top 100 sees the number of Asian universities increase to 13 (12 in 2006), while the number of European Universities has dropped to 35 (41 in 2006).
North America strengthened its tally to 43 Universities (37 in 2006). McGill tops in Canada, and a number of universities from New Zealand and Australia have also joined the top 50 list.
The increasing trend in internationalisation is also borne out by the fact that 143 of the top 200 universities reported an increase in their percentage of international faculty to total faculty, while 137 of the top 200 universities reported an increase in their percentage of international students to total students.
The study was conducted by QS Quacquarelli Symonds, and the rankings was compiled by and published in Times Higher Education supplement, an independent annual education survey. In the absence of a more formal ranking system like the US, in the UK these surveys are used as a benchmark for the UK colleges.

To nomad_d_gypsy:
the best opinion i’ve read in this blog so far. kudos to you!
to batotoybibo :
thanks for taking time in reading my comment…and even those who come to read my opinion.it’s ironic to see ourselves shoving our mentality just to show our egoistic attitude…time has change a lot in our society and that of our crab mentality has been a contagious disease that it lingers too inside the basic form of our society which is our family…we may say na ang school natin ang the best among the best but still all things lies to rest pag nakatapos ka na sa pag-aaral…some may be not lucky to land a job but deep inside its still our loyalty to where we studied gives pride within us na nasa one of the best schools in our country…we just have to move on with our lives and be proud that we have been a part of our school…at the end of the day its not the wealth we counts but the blessings we got from God.Share whatever blessings you got and it would make a big difference…our schooll groom us for what we would be in the future…please check our website to know more of our school’s vision and mission at http://www.slu.edu.ph
Good try, Sally, in destroying UPLB’s reputation–but not good enough.
nomad_d_gypsy:
hi! Am pleasantly impressed to read the piece of someone from my own school – i meant, the school i graduated from. you should be proud, somebody as level-headed, sensible and smart person like BatotoyBibo says something so positive of your opinion. I found your piece refreshing and a respite from the ‘more-than-usual’ heated and boisterous exchanges in this forum (kakatuwa naman nevertheless, that’s why i visit it whenever i can, which is not that frequent – he he). There has not been a lot of graduates from our school who have posted opinions in this forum – there were people who sent in their ‘thoughts’ (but who obviously did not ‘think’) about how bad our school was, but those were not worth responding to. Am sure you must have seen/read these. Anyways, since we are alumni of the same school, and believing that pareho ta nga taga-North, adda koma kayat ko nga i-feedback kaniayo. It’s minor ngem i could not help noticing it. Daydiay use of double superlatives (‘most richest’). Pansinen ngamin ngay dagitoy dadduma nga participants ditoy nga forum ti grammar. I know it must just be a lapse, which i and probably every other person (from our school or not – he he) commits at one time or another, especially when writing passionately (as for a topic like ‘what is the best university/school in the philippines?’ – ha ha). Daydiay laeng, and continue to offer to the Almighty the best services and work that you are doing (that is what they taught us at is-il-yu, d b?). Cheers!
To BatotoyBibo: ang ako nga adris pala is drawnagnid. gamit ko nga email ang lycos. do pls consider ang akong offer to walk you around the baguio campuses ug trip sa white water rafting capital sa norte as a standing offer.
draw sir im so humbled by your impressions on me — level-headed, sensible and smart — loved it!!
about your offer, i’ll take it as soon as time permits.. thanks much, really ‘preci8 it 
as in! sumakit ulo ko kababasa ng mga posts nyo! iba nga nakakatawa kasi wrong grammar. susmaryosep! kung mag-eenglish man, siguraduhing tama po ang subject-verb agreement. teehee!
anyway, in Manila, re: employment, they opt to hire students coming from UP, DLSU, and ADMU only. the rest are either doing their best in their provinces or go abroad. (i don’t feel bad about it
)
I’m a proud alumnus of MSU-IIT (take note, Iligan not Ilagan). maski nga in Mindanao, nag-aagawan sa pwesto kung sino talaga top performing school. of course, proud tayo pag recognize ng national and international institutions kasi it’ll be an added point to your resume pag naghahanap ka na ng trabaho or just simply make you happy that you’re part of the recognition.
my point is, no matter how we prove it here na where we’re from is one of the top performing schools (national or global), its really up to ourselves on how to prove it to the society we belong. lets just do our best to excel in what we are doing and not make bangayan over who’s who. maybe someday marecognize yung school mo because u excel in ur field… matutulungan mo pa ang bansa natin na maiangat ang kalidad ng edukasyon…thereby boosting our economy.
eto kasi sakit ng mga Pinoy… crab mentality. lets just be happy and contented that a few schools here in the Philippines are recognized globally (because they really do excel in various areas).
To Popoy:
Ngeks. Nagkamali ako ng na-invite sa friendster! Just checked above, irvin_binoy@y.c pala email u. Ang na-invite ko arvin_binoy@y.c (cno kaya un?).. Wahaha! Next visit ko sa cafe invite na kita with the correct email. Kya lang bka matagal pa un kc bhira lang ako mag-net sa labas, hehe…
Yes, SILLIMANIAN Me, I’m a proud through and through red-blooded Sillimanan!
I graduated from SU in 1985 and I pursued my MST [Master of Science Teaching] major in Biology at the De La Salle University – Manila.
Why?
To Roque:
Ahh..ok..guess you’re way older than me..Hehehe..I’m still a freshman here in Silliman.. Taking up BSED English..Still 17 years old..
Hey guys, really great talaga d2 sa SU.. the facilities as well as the site of the campus are really conducive for learning..
Ok na ok rin ang teachers dito sa SU..same with the students..Although may mga students talaga na panay ang pasikatan at pasosyalan dito.. But k na rin.. Silliman eh.
TO WHEW:
OMG..Nag-komento ka about some of the posts here..Sabi mo “as in! sumakit ulo ko kababasa ng mga posts nyo! iba nga nakakatawa kasi WRONG GRAMMAR.” Please stand corrected my dear friend..
Ayon kasi sa itinuro dito (and perhaps sa ibang schools na rin), there’s no such term as WRONG GRAMMAR.. Mali rin kasi yun eh.. It should be GRAMMATICALLY WRONG o GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT..o any word na synonymous sa salitang erroneous and idadagdag mo sa salitang GRAMMATICALLY…
U might say na it’s a matter of reading lang nman, not SPELLING.. But u should have been extra careful coz maraming meticulous pipz na bumabasa sa mga posts dito..:)
Hehehehehe..
Hahahahaha..
To SALLY:
Hahaha! I like ur style..
But friend, ayaw cge pang-daot ui..
Lain pud bya au ron sa side sa UPLB…

Update: Duke University is the 13th World’s Best University!
The Times Higher Education Supplement and Quacquarelli Symonds [TES-QS], an education research firm, ranked Duke the 13th overall best university in the world in an annual report released last week.
Duke’s place on the list was unchanged from 2006. The THES-QS report placed Duke between No. 12 McGill University in Canada and the University of Pennsylvania, which came in 14th.

UP is the BEST, no doubt about it! State university pa yan ha…meaning, walang budget, kulang sa amenities, pero puro GREAT MINDS. We need not have a tuition fee increase every year to provide the UP system adequate resources. Hindi kase nakukuha yan sa mahal ng tuition, sa yaman ng mga estudyante or sa ganda ng building. Feeding the mind is a not a money’s game. Salang sala lang ang nakakapasok sa UP. Ika nga, when you did not pass the UPCAT, others ka na lang….walang pikon. We are just stating the FACTS. proven na yan.
to whew:
it’s almost (not only) graduates of the big 4,but again i come to agree your observation…may trending na and it will end up that way na one day most companies owned and controlled by alumnae of said school will opt to take co-alumnus in their company and so goes within the government, mga graduate naman ng mga state universities ang kukunin…and the less fortunate na di nag-aral sa abroad na lang sila ng bansa if ever makapasok man within that circle either thru padrino o as they say “it’s not what you know but it’s whom you know” or either end up yourself in your own domain (sarili mong lugar wherein ganun na rin mangyayari kayo kayo na rin co-alumnae and magsasama sama)…it is also evident that most who can afford would rather send their children to college of the above mentioned top 4,kasi they know the value of being within that circle education in the philippines is already a commercial commodity for sale…its not what you learned but its where you studied…kaya nga mahal ang tuition fee ng mga private schools kasi yan ang bentahan…you have to pay the price para may assurance ka…if ever di ka naman nakatapos of said school, kailangan magmasteral o magdoctorate ka pa…the more you invest on your schooling, the more you would end up a good job…
point of view…in the future discrimination in applying for a job would be evident…proof: with the growing advancement of technology, human work will be replaced by robotics cutting employment jobs to a less availability…so with office works, much are being done thru computer,a job which usually being done by 3 or more during those days can be done by a single person…with the yearly growing population and with the ongoing advancement of technology…job opportunities will be that rare and more will be concentrated on research and development in the field of mechtronics and information technology.
di kaya pagdating ng araw ang mga nakatapos ay maging magsasaka na lang o mangingisda o di kaya alipin ng sariling bansa.
so, we know now who are the best schools in the country does it make any difference?we have our time ,for me i come to see how things has change during my yesteryears.i didn’t count of that idea of who’s the best but for now what i fear is that of the future…our children’s childrens future…sometimes you wouldnt mind those sci-fiction movies would one day come into reality.
ok…so who’s the best school for now…just be proud of your school…basta kami …andyan lang sa top school at nakahirit pa ata ng pwesto …i just need to justify if its true…pakihanap na lang po…
to roque:
to our mr. researcher, thanks for sharing your time researching.
to draw:
thanks for reading my article…alam naman natin san tayo nakalagay and we don’t have to brag things but share what is best to be done…less talk,less mistake…pasensya ka na kailyan,i’m not that much of talking ilocano ‘born in manila but grew up in baguio…maski na elementary to college ako nagtapos sa school natin tagalog na talaga nakasanayan ko salita…isungarud idi ketnu kasaritadak iti ilokanu,sumbaku ku ket tagalog …okey latta…maawatable met…but lately somehow i have to learn it…sorry for my erroneous grammatical mistakes (tindi naman redundant na…para ba nagsusumamo sa kamalian…hehehe)…as they say,we are only human born to make mistakes…its nice to have a room such as this,open and democratic. at least dito malalaman mo klase ng tao na nakakaharap mo and learn their culture lalo na pagkatao nila.different regions has different personalities and traits…from here maamwan ta nu kasanu tayu pakibagayan dakiti nalaslastug iti ut-ugali da…ok .kailyan …thanks uli…hanggan sa muling pagbabaliktaktakan.
How true is this ranking? If you search for top 500 Universities in the world, none of the Universities in the Philippines would even come in even in the last slot.
Untrue Yvette!
I posted about UP-D. The University wondered why it was included n the ranking where in fact it didn’t participate.
I think it is a big scam! THES-QS, the agency that has been conducting the ranking in 2005, 2006 and now 2007, has interest on the results of the ranking. It’s like “pay me for a favorable ranking.”
Imagine, it’s method of ranking is only peer evaluation through selected evaluators; previous evaluation/s made is/ are just updated; evaluators are checked whether they are still present in the institution; evaluating roughly 40,000 institutions worldwide in so short a period!
Wow, fantastic!
I chatted in its website! But it has not responded to my posts!
THE TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPLEMENT [THES] – QUACQUARELLI SYMONDS [QS] WORLD UNIVERSITY RANKINGS
The Times Higher Education Supplement [THES] is a weekly newspaper published by http://www.thes.co.uk that is dedicated to provide academics with the information they need from job listings to news to research findings. Quacquarelli Symonds [QS], on the other hand, is the world’s leading network [www.topuniversities.com] for careers and education linking undergraduate, graduate, MBA, and executive communities around the world with recruiters and education providers, through websites, publications, selection services and events. Some of its main products are the World MBA Tour, World Grad School Tour, QS Leadership Career Forums, and Scorecard (an online tool for comparison of business schools and university on individual criteria). It’s global focus makes it unique.
The THES and QS have devised the selection of criteria and indicators on research quality, graduate employability, international outlook and teaching quality. The THES makes all decisions regarding the allocation of weightings as follows research quality (peer review – 40%, citations per faculty – 20%), graduate employability (recruiter review – 10%), international outlook (international faculty – 5%, international students – 5%) and teaching quality (student faculty – 20%). About 3,700 academics and over 730 recruiters are included in the rankings.
The THES and QS did not use the “Nobel Prizes Awarded” and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s “Academic Ranking of World Universities” for a number of reasons. The former appeared to be just a measure of academic performance and has a number of flaws [such as the Nobel Prize winners were awarded years ago; faculty and standards of universities change. Majority of Nobel prizes are awarded in science-based subjects, disadvantaging institutions that have strengths elsewhere. Nobel Prizes are another measure of research quality and we wanted to present a more holistic set of rankings]. The latter is a domestic academic ranking that compared a large number of indicators. Both measures failed to provide an international prospective thus disregarded in the rankings.
Majority of academic journals around the world are published in the English language favoring institutions in English-speaking countries. However, the THES and QS apply only 20% to ‘citations per faculty.’ The Peer Review isn’t a language-independent measure of research quality thus given more weights.
[Read the Background/Context and Initial Objectives of the THES - QS World University Rankings at: http://www.topuniversities.com. - comment edited by Moderator]
THES-QS University Rankings rank universities by several indicators of academic or research performance, including academic peer review, recruiter review, student-faculty ratio, citations per faculty member, proportion of international faculty and proportion of international students. Additional criteria in the future may be included subject to availability.
[Read the rest of the information on Ranking Criteria and Weights at: http://www.topuniversities.com/.]
Responses are weighted by region to generate a peer review score for each of THES-QS principal subject areas which are:
• Arts and Humanities
• Engineering and IT
• Life Sciences and Bio-medicine
• Natural Sciences
• Social Sciences

Selection of the initial list
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive regarding the THES – QS World University Rankings is how we came up with the intitial list of 500+ institutions
The Peer Review and Recruiter Review constitute 50% of the weighting used to calculate the THES – QS World University Rankings and are both based on online surveys. In both cases respondents are asked to select up to 30 institutions they consider to be excellent in their area(s) of knowledge.
[Read the rest of this information at: http://www.topuniversities.com/]
Methodology: The Peer Review
As the “centrepiece” of the THES – QS World University Rankings the Peer Review is the inspiration for a lot of questions.
In the 2006 THES – QS World University Rankings the Peer Review Score was based on the responses of 3,703 academics around the world. The most common question we receive on this matter is “How do you identify these peers”.
Firstly it is important to understand that the Peer Review operates on a three year “latest response” model. That is to say that the respondents are those that have replied in the last three years but if an respondent comes back and replies again – updating their opinion – their previous response is discarded. The 2006 Peer Review was the first where we have had the full three years of response.

nomad_d_gypsy: – Absolutely right about this forum being a learning opportunity. This forum is quite interesting in many ways – like for example the tenacity, persistence and passion of some forum members to make the point/claim that the school where they graduated from is the best; as well, the diversity of ideas and opinions (a whole diverse lot, including outright no-brainers, inanities, the laughable, the outrageous, the obviously ‘hambog’, the weird, to the unbiased, the sensible, the intelligent, the almost divine and sublime – ha ha – the range provides good entertainment). Yes, let’s get all the learnings we could possibly obtain from these exchanges. Naimbag nga aldaw yo!
BatotoyBibo: yes. just get in touch when you find the time, please. my pleasure.:-)
There is one point that i would like to ask fellow members of this forum. I have not seen any expression of opinion or thoughts about the selection process for students that some schools stringently apply. Some forum members have made the claim that their school is the best because only the best ‘minds’ get to be accepted in their school. I make the point that perhaps it is the selection process that happens in these so-called best schools that makes their graduates achieve higher passing proportions in the common indicators for measuring the ‘bestness’ of schools being bandied here (Licensure Exams results, Bar Exams results, etc) rather than the school itself/per se. For schools that have a highly selective process of admitting students (and thus enrolling the cream of the creamiest crop), it would be understandable and expected that their graduates would do very well in the licensure exams. To be concrete, consider the schools commonly claimed by some members of this forum to be the best schools in the Philippines. Notice their highly selective and stringent process of admitting students. There are schools (like mine) whose bases for admitting undergraduate students are the most basic – graduated from high school, good character, definitely not a criminal, etc – in other words, mostly the average students with some sprinklings of the superior and the below average. These latter schools (like mine) produce graduates whose licensure examination passing proportions are equal to or sometimes even better than the former schools’ (those with strong and highly selective admission processes) graduates. What would be the logical or correct interpretation of these observations as regards the question of what are the best schools in the Philippines? What do you think? By the way, the same highly selective process of student admission happens in the Ivy League schools that are mentioned in this forum.
Hey Roque: You think the TES-QS is a scam? Didn’t you notice what the Q stands for in the acronym? Doesn’t it (Quacquarelli) sound something like what we call a fake doctor in our country? ha ha
To all: dpat wag na tayong magtalo..kc kung pinagbasehan tlga ee ang statistics at mga research..at ang resulta ay UP,ATENEO,DLSU,UST ang top schools.klangan n lng ntin un tanggapin. wala na tyong mgagawa dun.I know,masakit s mga tga ibang skuls n di sila kasali.khet sakin,I’m from UE-Manila..
pero khet di nakasama ang pinakamamahal qng skul..I will still continue supporting and loving my beloved alma mater..kming mga tga UE mga low profile lng kmi..di man kmi ksing talino ng mga tga UP at ksing sikat ng ateneo at la salle,di man kmi kasing tagal n ng UST.pero s khet anung laban di kmi mgpapahuli..s sports man o s academics.
“we are competitive” yan ang tatak ng mga tga UE.kya we really deserved to be called WARRIORS.
okay,prang wlang away..lahat n lng skuls magaling! di naman kc mganda kung magaaway tayo diba? dpat kung educated tlga tayo ipakita ntin sa lahat…cge God bless sa inyo! ^____^V
GO UE! we accept the fact,na di kmi one of the most prestigious universities in the Philippines..pero considering na U.E IS ONE OF THE REPUTABLE UNIVERSITIES.we got the potential to be the no.1 someday…I pray…hahahaha! basta GO UE RED WARRIORS! kming mga UEnian..simple lng kmi pero magagaling!
hay nako….NDMU nalng ako……..! tama man? para wlang gulo….
uhmmm. . guys,can i just speak something bout my school?heheh. .am a newbie n dis site and i was entertained by the comments you leave, that was very informational too, every school has its own strong and weak points, the thing is, Davao Doctors College is guided by its motto- excellence service to God and humanity! hehe(“,) iL soon be leaving DDC for I will be graduating by April 18(alam na alam ang date eh nuh, haha. .nanimaho na mi ug toga! in tagalog-nangangamoy toga na kami! hahaha! that’s if, dili magbinuang ang teacher! in tagalog agen,pag di nagloko ang teacher! hehe. .)and the only thing I can contribute to it is imbibe in me that motto. True,hnd ganun kasikat skul nmin, pero mas masarap ang filing na kasabay mong ngimprove ang skul nyo kesa the school has already established its name and u just came in to share its fame. u can visit our website: (http://www.davaodoctors.edu.ph) for an overview of the latest updates in DDC, thank you, Godbless us!(“,)
Davao Doctors College pala is one of the top performing school when in comes to Radiologic Technology(1st to acquire the RT positioning doll in d Philippines), pero BS Psychology course ko, hahah. . . . later today, the Nursing Department bagged 1st place in the PNSA Cheering competition(am hapi with d idea lng na despite der very-super-and agen-very hectic schedules,dey manage to balance curricular fr extra-cu.). The HM Dept is slowly establishing its name for winning the Mindanao Culinary Fest. Davao Doc, may HRM? yepz! we dfinitely have one, ours is not just a school for future nurses. We too had the Education Dept. why am i saying all this things now? la lng, we cannot please everybody same as we cannot insist on evreyone that “our” school is the best among the rest. but, we can always believe that within ourselves. .(“,)
Lumabas na ang top 400 sa THES 2007. Hanggang 400 lang ata ngayon. Only UP made it to the list at 398th (tied with 2 other universities). I wonder, saan kaya nila nakukuha yung info nila?
Source:http://dev.topuniversities.com/worlduniversityrankings/results/2007/overall_rankings/top_400_universities/
to gian carlo:
bakit top 400 na lang ba,dati ba ano?…500! if previously they can audit and evaluate (am i using the right term …hello) top 500 why now only 400? well, ako mag-aanalyze lang, why do they have to rank such school? is this one form of advertising the name of the school of said country to entice local and foreign students?…di kaya dito napupunta ang allotment ng gobyerno para sa UP ay syang pinambabayad dyan sa pagkuha ng ranking?o di kaya kaya pagkamahal mahal ng tuition fee ng DLSU,ADMU at UST ay dahil dito rin nila pinagkakagastusan para lang maipakita na isa sila sa mga kilalang top schools?
to be a top university dapat kumpleto ka ng lahat ng field of studies at kumpleto ka sa gamit. di kaya ang ranking na binibigay ay parang bidding kung sino ang mataas ang bayad sya ang number 1 and so forth…bakit top 400 na lang?baka naman di na nagrenew ng contract yun ibang universities?i hope you could give a posting of the top universities for 2006 and that of 2007 and lets evaluate kung ano ang consistencies ng ranking ng mga universities…sa akin palagay its money talks,masyado na kinocommercialize natin ang mga school natin lalo na yun top 4 dito sa atin while aside syempre UP being on top, there are other schools that deserved to be on the next ranking like silliman u o ateneo de davao o msu-itt o western visayas states university or even university of kalinga-apayao (dito po nagtapos si jack maawatan bago sya naging endorser ng smart o globe).
well,yun lang ang opinion ko…bakit yun mga university na mas maganda ang ranking sa local ay di naman nasali dyan sa top 500 na yan?…ano sa tingin nyo mga dre, may tamang hinala ba ako na pera pera lang yan?kaya mataas ang tuition fee ng DLSU at ADMU kasi nagbabayad sila thou mababa ng konti ang UST sa tution fee pero sa dami ng estudyante kaya nila magbayad at ang UP,imbes na mapunta para sa ikagaganda at madagdagan ang facilities nila dito na lang nila ginagastusan ng gobyerno.
ewan ko lang …bakit nga ba?
mr. researcher,baka pwede mo busisihin nga ito? ang mahirap pa nito baka may kickback din yun nageendorse sa school?
nagtatanong lang po…ano sa tingin nyo?
hirap talaga ng adik …napaparanoid tuloy sa usapan.
sir gian, could you possibly take and post the top 25 or 50 schools for year 2006 and 2007 and lets make an assessment of their ranking?…kasi ako duda yun nasa top 10 ka tapos biglang nasa below top 20 ?there’s more explanation that we need to know ?kasi sa tingin ko kailangan mo lang magbayad para bumango pangalan ng schools and aside doon, sino naman nagpopondo nitong research institution na ito para mag-audit at mag-evaluate sa ranking ng mga schools?
mahirap yun gagawa ka ng gawa na wala ka naman makukuha in return,i mean wlang katapat na bayad, di ba?
yun lang po…
to draw:
i think you are right about all these rankings being published …probably its not fake but in a sense money involves to get the best ranking…it shud have been written in a way like this “Top 500 Bidders as basis on their ranking for Top 500 Universities in the World”(…sagwa pakinggan),masyado na kasi commercialize ang pag-aaral kasi…di kaya balang araw pati sa tv mag-advertise na rin sila….well look what AMA and STI have done, dati parang learning basic computer studies lang ngayon pati nursing ata computerized na?…ewan ko ba! kaya ayun college na rin sya…pag may B.S. Computerize Nursing na sila doon ko pag-aaralin anak ko…ano ba ranking nila sa nursing …akala ko computer major studies nila bakit napasok ang nursing sa curriculum nila?
ewan ko ba ,pagkadamidami ng nursing schools ,wala naman sariling hospital para sa internship o on job training…kaya tuloy mas marami bagsak kesa sa pumasa…
ewan ko ba!
pasensya na po kayo…minsan ang taong sbrang talino nabobobo rin …ewan ko ba?…onli en di pilipins.
naalala ko tuloy yun klasmate ko nung elementary ….sa english sabi ng teacher namin a–as in apple, nung yun klasmate ko nagsalita e–as in apol…ngayon lang ako natawa after how many decades at naalala ko layo pala ng a sa e…apple at apol…ano kaya yun)…nung naghigh school kami sya pa valedictorian namin (may pagbabago na rin sya …sabi nya a–as in epple na…basta ako naniniwala sa kanya kasi yun pagsasalita nya typo error lang).
ewan ko ba!
The highs and lows of rankings
Gulf News, November 16, 2007, 00:09
Since 2004, many Indians have revelled over the presence of a few prestigious higher education institutes featuring in The Times Higher Education Supplement -Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS) World University Rankings.
There is no doubt that the institutes have produced some sterling individuals, who now regularly feature on “most influential lists” across the board, around the world.
And so each time an Indian institute finds place of prominence on any international ranking, there is the predictable celebratory wordage and reporting.
This year, however, it was not to be so. The latest THES-QS Rankings of 200 universities don’t feature a single Indian university. On the contrary, there are six from China resulting in petty sensationalist and unimaginative murmurs along the lines of “Indian education sees red.”
Apparently a shift in the ranking’s methodology was the cause for the dropping out of the various Indian Institutes of Technology, as they now were being evaluated as separate entities as opposed to a system at large. In other words, not one of the centres, was deemed good enough to fit in a list of 200 top universities, headed by the United States’ Harvard University.
Of course, there’ve been the expected lines of defence that Indian institutes don’t need Western validation, with the defenders often being the very same voices that screamed “Indian pride” when the West validated them.
The rankings itself cannot be taken to heart and it seems extremely silly to react with television speed and intensity to it. However, at a time when there have been announcements to open more “centres of excellence” by adding eight more Indian Institutes of Technology, it might be worth looking at fixing the existing ones before rushing into building new ones.
While most of the alumni have flickering memories everyday of their nights spent reading Jack Kerouac with Pink Floyd playing in the background, they are also all mostly thankful to their alma maters for the brand name and doors it’s opened abroad. However, with regards to more institutes, the boys and girls remain largely sceptical.
From fears of dilution of the brand, to the complete erosion of an already thinning culture of research, the alumni are not surprised their Institutes have fallen off the rankings.
“Why do we all run abroad? It’s a culture. Most of the best Indian professors are abroad. Lack of funding in research and development, lack of resources and now they want more institutes in places that don’t even have proper roads” wrote a friend, who is an alumnus in an email when I asked him about his higher education experiences in India and elsewhere.
Close on the heels of the rankings emerged another report. For the sixth successive year, India emerged as the leading exporter of students to the United States, according to Open Doors: Report on International Educational Exchange, which is published annually by the Institute of International Education with support from the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Again no surprises. Sure, given our numbers, we’re going to be top or bottom of any list in the world. But, looking at attitudes and policies towards higher education, instead of a qualitative approach, the focus seems to be on quantity. Spokespersons in the government have attributed this to the “long-term vision” anticipating more students, more enrolments, therefore, more varsities.
Sounds like a plan. Except given the state of primary education, its accessibility to all children in the country and a rising middle class preferring to go abroad, it’s not looking like an easy equation.
At last count, these were the numbers: 75,000 primary schools in India had no classroom; 9,503 primary schools in India had no teacher; 1,22,355 primary schools in India had only one teacher.
And more than 2,000 primary schools in India had no students.
Now, who is going to do the maths?
To flipside,
Enroll to other schools and learn about ellipses.
Sarcastically yours,
University-belt student

quac, quac doktor quack
the university ranking is much alike that of a beauty pageant more subjective than being objective. the closer to the heart the better the rankings. Like in Miss Universe the latin beauties of the Americas will likely clinch the crown. why? beacause Miss Universe is owned by the Americas region. Whereas in MIss World the european/British org. pageant, the Euorpean beauties are sure to wear the crown.
it’s better to get back to our school than focus on this nonsense rankings. study hard, aim higher and succeed! GOD BLESS everyone
The 2007 THES-QS ranking finally revealed the overall score of the four Philippine Universities included:
UP 34.7
ATENEO 30.8
LA SALLE 23.9
UST 20.8
THAT’S JUST IT!
@ SILLIMANIAN_ME:
ei glady gurl, i know Silliman’s famous of ‘coniotic’ peeps but admit it gurl that your school’s not in the list of the Top Performing Schools maski sa National category man lang. so zip it!
zip… zip.. zip it! lol!
p.s. even if you post mala-litanyang ka-ek-ekan of how your school is performing in some areas, it doesnt, wont, and never will count because you only see what is good… and not what needs to be improved. so zip it!
a thought for you: the difference is still the same. pag isipan mong mabuti. ok? :p
@ nomad_d_gypsy:
indyak maawatan dayta sinulat mo kac basit la ti amok! i i only know a few Ilocano phrases. hehehe. my mom’s from Laoag, Ilocos Norte, unfortunately, Bisaya na yung nakasanayan namin sa bahay.
nwei, congrats that your school’s one of the top 4. in case you’ll have a higher position in any company ull be working 4 n d future, just remember na u can make a difference by hiring not only grads from ur school, but those that really excel amid the intense competition among them.
Unus Instar Omnium! Pinoy… Mabuhay ka!
SUPER KARMA ang ibang school jan that used such ranking study last year to the hilt just so to make their school appear superior to the rest (to the point of dragging other schools down.) Yes, I’m talking about that particular school sa Taft na uber hyped ang pagka 392nd last year and even claimed that they indeed WERE the best private university in the land.
So kumusta naman??? Im sure that particular enhancement in the peer review criterion wherein one can no longer vote for its own school affected them so much.
Of all 4 Philippine schools, the one that enjoyed most the result of last year’s ranking is the WORST casualty of this year’s result – DOWN BY 127 PLACES!!! That school officially participated in this year’s ranking (unlike UP)
2 SCHOOLS THAT MADE THE TOP 500
UP – 398TH (non-official participation)
ATENEO – 451ST
_________________________________
DLSU – 519TH
UST – 535TH
Whew, be gentle enough… You’re insulting a girl [SILLIMANIAN_ME] and my schools [Silliman University and De La Salle University - Manila]! I dare you to watch your words!
If you think your UP is the best, so be it! No one argues you!

Has this been the learning you got from your school? Insulting? Putting others down? Boy, you’re a bitter! I pity for you!
good day everyone…it seems things are getting worse if we are going to look after the results of the THES-QES…the abrupt change in ranking of our top 4 seems to be getting out of place in said survey…i question why it goes beyond our imagination that would had happened.
just as i assumed previously about the criteria of giving such ranking …had anyone taken into consideration and look the listing of the past and previous ranking? with such outcome i foresee that this is really a scam…as in pera pera lang.what makes me think deeper ay yun dating wala naman sa listahan ay bigla nalang nagsulputan…i won’t ever give credit to this ranking but instead focus more on our principles of education in our country.
let us just be realistic that we can’t compete with other universities in other countries…the more we expect the more we get frustrated …there’s more to be done by our government to uplift the educational system of our country…our country does not only need foreign investors to showcase our status as a developing country but we have to upgrade the system of education is within par with the outside world.
to ronnel:
i just forgot the name of one of your professor,just like to check if you could ask your dean in engineeering if he graduated class ‘77 of slulbhs?…thanks
@ ROQUE –> double dare!
i’ve learned to differentiate between a rotten fruit from the good ones. at tinuruan din akong magbasa (read my previous post as to what school i’m from). nyahaha! >:) dba, ur school excels in doing research? u might want to try to live by its recognition.*wink!
if you could contest my substantive argument on how well your school’s doing, ilantad mo dito. cite evidences that your school should be among the top 10 performing schools of the philippines. magfile ka kaya ng kaso to the organization who made the listing. (that would be CHED and PRC???
)
fyi, the list is not used for discriminating other schools. think of it as a constructive criticism. u’ll never know someday ur school will emerge in the global list. *wink!
p.s. i’ve never mentioned DLSU-Mla in my previous posts. tsk. tsk. tsk.
p.p.s. Advance Merry Christmas!!!
erratum: Silliman University – Dumaguete is among the Top 10 Performing Schools in the Philippines.
my apologies… *wink!
Damaged done!
Think first before to talk! Magsalita ka ng maayos, di yong pabalang o mag-insulto ka ng ibang tao o institutions!
Don’t you know that “Your person speaks the kind of words that come out from your mouth?” May God bless you…
@ ROQUE
kaya nga naimbento ang word na erratum para sa mga ganitong mistakes. even an institution like Inquirer commits inadvertent errors, ako pa kaya?
you said: “Think first before to talk!”
and i say, “Silence is less injurious than a bad reply.”
you said, “Magsalita ka ng maayos, di yong pabalang o mag-insulto ka ng ibang tao o institutions!”
and i say, “He who says what he likes, must hear what he does not like.”
you said, “Your person speaks the kind of words that come out from your mouth?”
and i say, “Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.”
another thing, let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue.
May you have a meaningful celebration of the holy nativity of Christ!
Whew, I am proud to finish my college degree from Silliman University and my Masters degree [Master of Science Teaching, major in Biology] from De La Salle University – Manila.
For your brief information, Silliman University was founded on August 28, 1901, making it the oldest American university in Asia [even older than the UP System]. Originally named Silliman Institute, an elementary school, it was established by Protestant missionaries of the Prysbiterian Church in the United States and started through a gift from Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, a retired businessman and philanthropist from Cohoes, New York. He was an active layman in the Presbyterian Church. The school was thus named after him.
The school began with 15 male students, four long desks, two tables, and two chairs. The First President of the University, David Sutherland Hibbard of Lyndon, Kansas statute is in front of the CAP Building, Rizal Boulevard, Dumaguete. The first faculty was the Reverend Hibbard and his wife Laura. From 1901 to 1912, it was a boys school. In 1910, Silliman was given the right to confer degrees. In 1912, girls were admitted for the first time. In 1938, Silliman became a university, the first school outside of Manila to be granted university status.
Silliman has a main campus near the center of Dumaguete City, dotted by large acacia trees. The campus has a land area of 610,000 square meters. It originally faces the sea to the east and its gates are flanked by the portals which are now symbols of the university. [source: http://www.answers.com/topic/silliman-university - comment edited by Moderator]
If you have the opportunity to travel south, find time to drop by Dumaguete City, the “City of Gentle People” and Silliman University. We’ll be glad to tour you around the Campus. If you inform me ahead, I might accommodate your stay inside the University for free, courtesy from me. That’s how I dearly love the University.
Whew, we don’t have ‘coniotic’ peeps in the Campus; but outside of the University, there are many.
Whew, my words are not poetic as yours… It is because I’m a biologist…
No matter what ranking system is used, I think it is useless. In fact, all the ranking systems have different top 10’s, 20’s etc. Come to think of it, EVERYONE thinks their school/university IS the BEST in the PHILIPPINES. I am even guilty of thinking that my university is the best.
I’ve been a Sillimanian all my life and I still am. Yes, it’s true that there are a lot of things/areas Silliman still needs to improve and develop but Silliman HAS proved that it is ONE of the BEST schools in the Philippines. It has been standing for more than 100 years (read above post by ROQUE).
It’s just so sad that people/students/alumni from other schools/universities put SU down. Have you BEEN to SILLIMAN? Have you even seen our facilities? Have you ever attended classes there? What is your basis for putting it down? And for that matter, putting other schools down when you haven’t even been there? I mean, if someone should diss my school it should be ME since I’ve been studying there all my life. Doesn’t that make sense?
I am really proud to be a SILLIMANIAN. And just because SU is OUTSIDE Manila doesn’t make it INFERIOR. Sure, a lot of pressidents, political figues, etc come from schools in Manila but Carlos P. Garcia was an SU alumnus.
@ ROQUE
my bad. i made a hasty generalization of the students in ur campus.
i’ve been to dumaguete once when i went to siquijor for a vacation. correct me if im wrong, but isn’t ur campus located near the port area? i’ve never been inside though. i slept at the port area because we had to wait for the pumpboat to transfer us from there to the port of siquijor. it was not a pretty sight, mind you. the experience was never any better. hehehe.
also, i’ve been to sumilon island where it is establised as a marine sanctuary of your university. ’twas awesome!!!
about the offer to stay in your school for free… hmmm. tempting! hahaha. ill see if it fits my ‘toxic’ work schedule.
glad to befriend you here, ROQUE… *wink!

IT’S SO UNFAIR!
“i won’t ever give credit to this ranking but instead focus more on our principles of education in our country…let us just be realistic that we can’t compete with other universities in other countries…the more we expect the more we get frustrated” -sapienta aedificat
What is your basis, then, of saying that we “can’t compete with other universities”? Forgive me for sounding arrogant this time because it’s just so degrading of you to tell everyone we cannot compete–BUT, just because your institution cannot compete internationally, does not mean the others also cannot. For crying out loud, we are not expecting anything from an unreliable list like THES. We know that we still have a long way to go before reaching international prominence, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and strive to be among the best.
Hi nomad_d_gypsy, hindi ko kaagad nabasa yung reply kaya hindi ko nasagot. Hehe. Anyway.
Una po sa lahat, hindi ako endorser ng THES. Kung babasahin mo yung naging usapan bago ka dumating, you will find out that I and other posters here agree that THES is an UNRELIABLE list. What I did was to merely post an update about this ranking, since this blogpost-turned-forum is already obsolete.
The top 400 list was updated na. Actually may top 500 na. Only Ateneo de Manila made it to the list at number 451. De La Salle is 519 and UST is 539. Ngayon, I said “saan kaya nila nakuha yung info nila?” BECAUSE, in case you do not know, UP publicly declared that it will not participate in this year’s survey. Ang link po ay binigay ni Roque. Hanapin mo na lang somewhere above. It turns out that they used UP’s data last year. I believe it’s wrong to do that dahil outdated na ang data na yun. They shouldn’t've included UP in the list. As for UST and Ateneo, they still remain uncooperative with THES, just like what they did last year.
I cannot give any comment kung dapat ba talagang kasali ang Silliman or MSU-IIT as I am unknowledgeable about these schools. I haven’t even slept in the province ng kahit isang gabi lang kaya wala talaga akong maooffer na explanation.
Even though THES is unreliable, I do not believe that ANY university in the country will pay such institution para lang tumaas ang ranking nila. Think: nung 299 ang UP last year, do you think it mattered to the world? Heck, only the universities in the top places benefit from this. Harvard is number 1–Do you think na nagbayad sila para maging number 1?
On a more personal level, galit ka po ba sa akin? I have this feeling na oo, galit ka. Or kung hindi man, naaasar ka.
Friendly advice: Please read and think before you talk. When I first stumbled upon this “forum”, I read ALL the posts before I said anything. Siguro sasabihin mo, “I don’t have the time to read all of these”. You don’t have to read everything sa isang upuan lamang. And kung tinatamad ka, ang masasabi ko lang po eh ito ang dapat nating bayaran para makapagpost ng matino. If we don’t kasi, we just end up misunderstanding others.
And no, I shouldn’t be given the Mr. Researcher Award. I sincerely believe that it should be awarded to no other than Mr. Roque. Hehe.
And pahabol lamang. Gian Paolo ang name ko at hindi Gian Carlo. Paumanhin din nga pala sa mga typographical and grammatical errors. It’s readable naman, I believe.
to gian paolo :
that’s just my opinion…and things ain’t impossible.when money talks anything could be done even to the worse scenario…for me anything that is done by human are prone to manipulation…it can and it could be manipulated…thou some school may not be consistent in their standards but still somehow they come out to be on top of the list in board examinations…take for example the bar exam, most often during those days who usually top the bar UP,Ateneo,SBC but somehow some unknown schools has made to beat them on top…well, percentage wise they may be above the others but still it’s not such reason to gage the outcome of the school in totality…i think its within the person itself that makes the better half of whats the standard of their school…correct me if i’m wrong, all i know of UP should be a school for the less fortunate…para sa mahirap dapat yan kung tutuusin but sad to say mas marami pa yata ang mayayaman who could afford to study on exclusive schools with same caliber with the standards of teaching…how could these low incomed who graduated in a public high school lacking the advance knowledge against those who graduated in a private school…the entrance exam is real tough and i’m just too happy that two of my siblings passed the exams (UPCB and UPLB)…anyway, my point is we just have to respect ones opinion and never stepped down on others for the reason that they are not on said school as where you are…secondly, we don’t need to know if your school is on top of the list of the Top 500 Universities in the World…what matters most is you just have to be humble and humane…instead of bragging your school to be the best…dapat nga tumulong ka pa nga sa kanila’such as giving them tips or pointers on what must be done if ever some of their relatives would like to take the entrance examination…it only shows your personality of being conceited, egoistic and selfish manners…i’m being annoyed by how things are going about this forum…very unprofessional sad to say.
i hope you won’t be hurt about whatever i said…and so to each and everyone (kilala natin kung sinu-sino)…please lets just lend hands on how we could help each other from whatever school we came from…sana naman maging constructive ang usapan natin di yun destructive.
again, its only my opinion about how the ranking is being done…no offense, just benefit of the doubt…
GOOD DAY po sa inyong lahat …..PEACE BE WITH EVERYONE.
Hala. Nireport ko lang kung ano ang sinabi ng THES ngayon conceited na ako. FYI, I also mentioned the results of the Shanghai Jiao Tong’s own university rankings (see the post way way above this)–I believe it’s a more objective one. I said that NO Philippine school made it. I even gave out my idea kung bakit walang nakapasok (i.e. kulang sa research; the said ranking focused more on research and publications). Kung lahat pala ng magpopost ng ganung fact (fact dahil totoo namang UP lang ang nasa 400 ng THES; kung kapani-paniwala naman iyon eh decision mo na) ay conceited, then hindi lang ako ang dapat mong pagalitan. When Thomasians say that their school is the only royal and pontifical university in Asia, does that make them conceited? I don’t think so. Totoo naman na sila ang official university ng Holy See sa Asia (kung deserving man sila or hindi ng ganung title ay depende na sa taong sinasabihan niya)
Ni hindi pa for bragging purposes ang pinost ko.
Yes, I will correct you. I used to think that UP should be EXCLUSIVELY for poor but deserving students pero nagbago na yun. Ang UP po ay hindi lang eskwelahan para sa mahihirap–but I agree na nakakaasar na unti-unti ng nagiging mahirap pumasok para sa ilan sa UP dahil sa incapability nila na mabayaran ang mataas naming tuition (kung baga, hindi na lang UPCAT ang hindrance ngayon, pati pera na)pero hindi ibig sabihin nun na dapat ng bawalan ang may kaya na pumasok kung naipasa naman nila ang UPCAT.
Kahit given na napakareliable na list ng THES, we shouldn’t be proud dahil bumagsak kami by almost 100 places. Hindi mo ba naisip yun? Tsk. Ang nabasa mo lang kasi eh yung sinabi kong results. After that, probably, hindi mo na binasa yung sinabi kong, “saan kaya galing ang info nila?” Or kung binasa mo man, eh hindi ka nagwonder kung bakit ko sinabi yun.
I admire your efforts to “cleanse” this group of all the conceitedness (Is there such a term? hehe) pero sana naman before you go jumping to conclusions, find out the story behind each post.
But I guess ganun na talaga ang image namin (arogante, conceited, etc.) I rest my case.
Nga pala, ieelaborate ko lang, kaya ko pinost yun (and maniwala ka man o hindi eh ito ang dahilan ko) eh i was under the impression that this blog post was about the 2006 THES results. Dahil naman hindi pa rin terminated ang exchange of words dito, i thought na dapat ung latest data na ang gamitin ng mga tao–hence, the 2007 THES result. Ngayon, if you’re saying na you don’t care kung anong nakalagay sa list, then you’re probably in the wrong forum, err, blog post. Hehe.
I have a lengthier response to defend myself, but it’s still under the moderation process. I am not sure kung kelan maaapprove.
well noted …no need to argue…its just a constructive criticism….no offense meant.
Yes, we need to collectively focus our attention and perhaps dissect our educational system to know why almost all of our colleges and universities [about 1,400 of them] here in our country have not fared well in that “THES-QS.”
Let me start by giving you some general information RE: OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:
1. We patterned our system of education [curricula, etc.] after the US Educational System only we shortened the number of years in schools. Worse, many schools now are implemented the trimestral system that some courses [like sciences that require certain number of quality time to conduct/ complete researches/ laboratory experiments, etc. to check/ verify whether concepts, etc. are correct or not] may have difficulties of catching up.
2. We are the only English-speaking country [although in different areas in the country, the English has pronunciation/ intonations that may differ from others] in Asia. This language facility made our OFW fare better than other Asian counterparts. Many of our neighbors are trying to catch us up on this proficiency.
3. Many of our educators have developed many innovations in teaching [we are best in developing programs/ strategies/ etc] but most of these innovations have not been tried out [because we are poor in implementing them].
And many more… Please help me…

According to Martin Ince, of the Times Higher Education Supplement “The 2007 THES-QS World University Rankings are the most rigorous and complete so far. They show that the US and UK model of independent universities supported with significant state funding produces great results, but they also prove that academic excellence is found on every continent.”
Nunzio Quacquarelli, Managing Director of QS, says: “The THES-QS World University Rankings has met an important need amongst universities, employers and young candidates to be able to compare and benchmark institutions across borders. They have generated intense interest in recent years – this year, over one million unique visitors have checked out the results and methodology on http://www.topuniversities.com.
The 2007 results are likely to generate even greater interest. Reflecting this, QS has received detailed survey responses from a record-breaking number of academics and employers to underpin these results. The QS website http://www.topuniversities.com will have profiles of all ranked institutions available at a click and detailed information on this year’s enhancements to the research methodology”.
whew! as in!
‘Even though THES is unreliable, I do not believe that ANY university in the country will pay such institution para lang tumaas ang ranking nila. Think: nung 299 ang UP last year, do you think it mattered to the world? Heck, only the universities in the top places benefit from this. Harvard is number 1–Do you think na nagbayad sila para maging number 1?’ — Gian Paolo
I couldn’t agree more with you Gian. Let’s refrain from giving out sheer insinuations. Wala na tayong pinagkaiba sa mga asshole (I mean it!) na pulitiko na wala ng ginawa kundi ituro ang gobyerno sa mga kaliwa’t kanang pagsabog at pambobomba. They’re not helping; they’re making things worse!
By the way, I enjoy reading your intelligent posts too. Keep it up!
Let’s examine our Educational System:
A. THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is responsible for formulating and implementing policies, plans and programs for the development and efficient operation of the system of higher education in the country.
The delivery of higher education in the Philippines is provided by private and public higher education institutions.
At present, there are 1,647 higher education institutions in the country.
1. Private Higher Education Institutions
Private higher education institutions are established under the Corporation Code and are governed by special laws and general provisions of this Code. Those under non-sectarian are duly incorporated, owned and operated by private entities that are not affiliated to any religious organization while those under sectarian are usually non-stock, non profit, duly incorporated, owned and operated by a religious organization.
Generally, private higher education institutions (PHEIs) are covered by the policies, standards and guidelines (PSGs) set by the Commission on Higher Education in terms of program offerings, curriculum, administration and faculty academic qualifications, among others. The heads of PHEIs usually manage its internal organization and implement the PSGs formulated by the CHED.
A total of 79 PHEIs were granted autonomy or deregulated status by CHED in recognition of their committed service through quality education, research, and extension work (per CMO No. 32, s. 2001, CMO No. 21, s. 2003, CMO No. 21, s. 2004)
2. Public Higher Education Institutions
The State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) such as the UP Systems, etc. are chartered public higher education institutions established by law, administered and financially subsidized by the government.
The Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) such the PLM, etc. are those established by the local government units through resolutions or ordinances LUCs are financially supported by the local government concerned.
The CHED Supervised Institution (CSI) is non-chartered public post-secondary education institution established by law, administered, supervised and financially supported by the government.
Other Government Schools (OGS) are public secondary and post-secondary education institutions usually a technical-vocational education institution that offer higher education programs.
Special HEIs are directly under the government agency stipulated in the law that created them. They provide specialized training in areas such as military science and national defense.
The SUCs have their own charters. The board of regents for state universities and a board of trustees for state colleges maintain the formulation and approval of policies, rules and standards in SUCs. The Chairman of the CHED heads these boards. However, CHED Order No. 31 series of 2001 of the Commission en banc has also authorized the CHED Commissioners to head the board of trustees or board of regents of SUCs.
Implementation of policies and management are vested on the president, staff, and support units of the public higher education institutions.
Sorry for this opinion of mine but I think that CHED should look into the curriculum of Medina College in Ozamiz City, Mindanao. I have colleagues before in my previous work who are taking their MBA at Medina College. One of my friends told me that she graduated her MPA (Master in Public Administration) without taking the major examinations, comprehensive exams and worst without thesis. But still, she was surprised when she found out last March 2007 that her name is listed in the graduates of MPA. It is just surprising that CHED still allows this school to operate knowing that they have a poor quality of education.
Updates: 2007 Best World Universities Ranking

China is no longer a sleeping dragon when it comes to drawing foreign students as the world shows growing interest in the country.
CHINA today is certainly much more than just an economic powerhouse.
The modern China not only aims to make itself recognized as the host of the upcoming Olympics, to be held in Beijing next year, it also wants to be better known as an education provider.
Association of Graduates from Universities and Colleges of China (AGUCC), Malaysia president Ting Chee Seng says the trend of learning Chinese has attracted foreigners to study in China.
As he sees it, the language has gained popularity and prominence in recent times given the global interest in China, especially in relation to business.

“It’s important to master Chinese to stay competitive in the job market. It is not enough to know only Mandarin, the person should also know how to read and write in order to understand the culture and business etiquette,” he observes.
According to the website of Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE), a body affiliated to the Education Ministry of the People’s Republic of China and specializing in services to facilitate international scholarly exchanges, New China began accepting foreign students in 1950.
Last year, more than half a century down the line, the number of international students around the country stood at 162,695.
And these days, they come for more than the Chinese language programmes on offer. Other popular areas of study include the arts, medicine, economics and management.
“It’s important to master Chinese”- TING CHEE SENG
The creme de la creme
Chinese universities are divided into several categories, with some under the Education Ministry while others are managed by provincial, autonomous regional and municipal governments.
Although there are over 1,900 universities and colleges in China, only 500-plus accept foreign students. The top schools in China are recognized globally.
This time round, six Chinese universities made it to the top 200 in the latest Times Higher Education Supplement-Quacquarelli-Symonds (THES-QS) World University Rankings, released recently.
Besides Peking University (PKU) at 36, they are Tsinghua University, also in Beijing (40), Fudan University in Shanghai (85), Nanjing University (125), the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, capital of Anhui province (155), and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (163).
The institutions give students a wide range of choice.
Founded in 1898, PKU was the first national university in the modern history of China. Commonly known as Beida in Chinese, it offers 100 undergraduate programmes and over 200 at the master’s level as well as 199 doctoral and 35 post-doctoral programmes.
Tsinghua offers 51 undergraduate programmes. There are another 159, 123 and 27 respectively at the master’s, doctoral and post-doctoral levels.
Fees are affordable.
For those who love Chinese poetry, actually seeing the scenes described can be an amazing experience.
They can be as low as RMB14,000 to RMB26,000 (RM6,370 to RM11,758) per annum for undergraduate arts programmes, going up to RMB60,000 (RM27,284) for some post-doctoral programmes.
The Chinese Government also offers full and partial scholarships for qualified foreign students.
Life on campus
Students, especially those in urban areas, will find things fairly easy and convenient, as there will usually be supermarkets, post offices, banks and hospitals on campus or within easy reach.
Those with a cultural bent should find much to keep them happy such as student groups dedicated to Peking or Zhejiang opera.
As for housing, foreign student have to spend between RM360 to RM1,200 monthly.
Food also should not be a problem, being both varied and cheap. Canteens in Tsinghua, for instance, serve offerings from various provinces such as Sichuan, Guangdong, Hunan and Shandong as well as halal food at about RMB12 to RMB30 (RM5.47 to RM13.68) a day.

Chinese Embassy first secretary and cultural office head Gu Hongxing says there is at least one halal dining hall or restaurant in each university or college.
“China respects the interests and customs of every ethnic group,” he points out.
According to AGUCC’s Ting, there were 1,800 Malaysians studying in China last year.
Malaysian students, he adds, favour institutions in places such as Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Fujian and programmes such as science and engineering as well as business studies.
Ting says students need not worry unduly about the question of recognition, as most graduates from Chinese universities have had no major problems finding a job upon completion of their studies.
Gu, however, admits that some of students in Malaysia are reluctant to opt for China given the lack of recognition of Chinese academic qualifications by the Malaysian Government.
“However, both Chinese and Malaysian governments are doing their utmost to reach mutual recognition of each other’s degrees,” he says.
No need to worry
Ting says the medium of instruction is primarily Chinese, but reference books are available in English.
However, as Gu sees it, there is very little for those who are not fluent in Mandarin to be worried about.
“English is widely spoken in China nowadays, especially among young people. Programmes taught in English are also available in most higher education learning institutions,” he says.
For example, according to the CSCSE website, some physics and chemistry courses are offered in English at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Students can certainly expect a holistic education in China – seminars, forums and activities are popular on campus. Moreover, universities often invite prominent public figures to give talks on current global issues.
One example is the recent visit of South Africa deputy president Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka to Tsinghua, where she gave students an insight on “The Nature of Desired Relations between China and South Africa”.
Jordan’s King Abdullah also spoke at Peking University late last month during a state visit.
The right choice
Many of those who have opted for China speak highly of their experience.
But when she first set foot in Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, back in 1994, Dr Woo Yet Ha was not sure if she had a made the right choice and had second thoughts about spending the next four years doing her undergraduate studies in a place she was unfamiliar with.
However, she soon settled down and fell in love with the Chinese culture.
She subsequently obtained her master’s in modern and contemporary Chinese literature and her PhD in media and international culture at the university.
During her doctoral programme, she was required to teach at a college on a weekly basis.
The move was to ensure that students had the ability to form opinions and pass on the knowledge they had gained in the classroom to others.
“Academic standards are very high in China. It is very competitive to get into university because of the huge population.
“There is no spoon-feeding. Students are expected to be independent learners,” says Dr Woo, who is head of New Era College’s Chinese Language and Literature Department.
For those with a passion for Chinese language and literature, there is an added reason to consider China.
Kolej Tuanku Jaafar Chinese teacher Tan Yok Phoy, who studied in Guangzhou’s Jinan University and spent seven years in the country, describes it as “the best place to learn the Chinese language”.
She adds: “The beautiful poetry and literature strongly reflects the rich history of China, and to actually see the things described in the poetry, like the mountains and the landscape, is amazing.”
SU inaugurates Portal West Building
ALTHOUGH known for its being high-standard education oriented, Silliman University (SU) diversified a portion of its property to house the Portal West Building that now becomes a commercial center.
Portal West Building, located at the corner of Silliman and Hibbard Avenues, was formally inaugurated on November 23, 2007.
SU President Dr. Ben Malayang said: “With the recent economy that we are facing right now we have to fight and continue to face the giants.”
The ceremony was done in honor of the university’s alumni who were the investors of the building and the Board of Trustees.
SU Women’s Ensemble hosted the affair.
To Roque:
Grabeh..U are so informative…:)
hEY rOQUE!
I was there during the Portal West Building inauguration..:)
Gosh, I’m so proud to be a Sillimanian….
Salonga book launched
Former Senator Jovito Salonga launched on November 23, 2007 his latest book titled “Not by Power or Wealth Alone,” at the Main Library of Silliman University, Dumaguete City .
Salonga, a 2007 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Integrity and Government Service, was recognized for his long public career in service to democracy and good governance with exemplary integrity and substance.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Reynato Puno said Salonga “richly and powerfully inspires readers to step back and take a long view and search into the innermost selves to find the strength. This strength to fight the evils that grip our beloved country and serve the least of our brethren,”.
The SU College of Law is now called the Dr. Jovito Salonga Law Center.

you’re maybe right!
I finnished my undergrad course in FEU n 2006 and I’m now taking up my masters in UP.
But I guess as a “TaMaroon”, FEU as well as its students are doing very well right now. This University, is something to be discovered. The students are said to be comparable in between than UE and Santo Tomas
I could say that, “Kung ano ako sa UP ngayon, puhunan ko yun sa FEU”
i wouldn’t tell everything about FEU or UP, bout the figures! Hell I care! FEU is really a
For Everybody’s University
The difference I see between FEU and bigger schools like UP is that in UP and Ateneo they pick the excellent while in DLSU and UST choose the remaining excellent and those who are superiot but in FEU, they choose the satisfactory and above average or even the average
Sa totoo lang, hindi naman ako kagalingan nung high school, kahit sa FEU dmi kong nakukuhang 3.00 sa mga professors on my first years.
Basta ang alam ko, kung hindi ko nakilala ang FEU, wala ako sa UP. Mahal ko ang pagiging Maroons pero dito sa UP, dala dala ko ang pagiging Tamaraw.
The tamaroon that is loved by my classmates who finnished their undergrad course in ADMU, UP and UA&P.
Basta! FEU is school na pag naligaw o nagtungo ka dun, ayaw mo nang umalis pa!
FYI: Far Eastern University was created by the best of the Faculty of UP School of Economics!
FEU peeps, let’s wait for our time! Let’s begin to start the figures! ^^.
For FEU:
Kawawa kyo, wala kasing graduate o tao na galing sa inyo na nagiging chairman ng CHED. Kung mayroon sana kyo, malamang your school gets a share sa COE/ COD na yan. Kung may ISO kyo, that only shows your school’s systems are logical and maximized towards better school function. Wala ito sa karamihan school parlance. But this show be considered first prior to granting COE/ COD, not merely on facilities and teachers.
Kagaya ng dating president ng DLSU na naging CHED chairman. Kita nyo, marami silang share ng COE/ COD. Syempre, excellent naman facilities nila at teachers nila. Kita nyo, matataas yong mga buildings nila. Kaya naman ng DLSU yan. I should know these because I am an alumnus of DLSU-Manila. Yong naging CHED chairman din yong chancellor ng UST, madami din silang share ng COE/ COD. Of course, excellent din naman yong facilities at teachers nila. Mas marami atang leaders natin ay galing ng UST. Mas excellent yong mga students nila din.
Kaya, kyong mga taga FEU, you wait for that time to come and I’m sure it will. Kasi sa tingin ko magaling yong medicine and medicine related courses nyo including architecture. Tignan nyo yong UE, dating CHED chair and president nila ngayon. I will not wonder that someday, UE will get its share sa COE/ COD na yan. Kagaya ng FEU, magaling ng medicine nila.
Ok ba?

In UP they pick the BEST
In FEU they pick a nobody like me to be among the BEST that’s why I’m now in UP living the TAMAroon life!
I love UP Love ko FEU!
FYI: FEU already Attained the Center for Excellence in Medicine (FEU-Institute of Medicine)
and FEU-east asia college (FEU’s Institute of Computer and Eng’g) attained Center of Development for Excellence in Information Technology Education status nung 2001 pa
Something that wasn’t seen in the statistics!
but anyways for me UP is undeniably the BEST because the BEST are already here ever since! ^^.
Yeah Roque and Rico
FEU peeps! Let’s not wait or wish
We are already starting but it takes time.
I’m sure before we reach our centennial year,
We’re gonna make if not the best, to be the next to the big4
Let’s not argue with them because if we argue about the stats what if kung tayo na ang andon… right!
Take care guys peace out!
SU is lone institution tapped for Visayas Rapid Site Assessment
Silliman University is the only institution in the country granted by the Foundation for the Philippine Environment (FPE) to conduct a Rapid Site Assessment (RSA) of the biodiversity in the entire Visayas area.
SU, through the Institute of Environmental and Marine Sciences [IEMS] headed by Director Dr. Hilconida Calumpong, is tasked to conduct tests in Eastern Samar, Western Samar, Northwest Panay, and the North Negros Forest Reserve including the Mt. Talinis-Twin Lakes.
These sites have already undergone previous RSAs by the FPE. However, according to the Terms of Reference for the RSA 2007, previous data-gathering techniques suffered from minor inadequacies that FPE aims to correct through the use of a more standardized assessment.
The major data components that will be gathered during the survey include the following: Biophysical, Socio-cultural, Economic and the Geo-political situations in the respective sites.
“[This] would update us of what is the condition of biodiversity in these areas so that in the future, if we’re going to look at the impact of all the conservation activities, we could really see the difference. And then we can say if it’s successful or not successful and therefore we could justify the use of the money in all these projects,” said SU Director for Research and Development Dr. Enrique Oracion.
The team from SU, which is composed of members from the Biology and Sociology-Anthropology Departments, expects to complete the RSA in four months. The actual data-gathering started in the first week of November, and all gathered data and information will be used as important inputs to the FPE’s Area Development and Management Plan (ADMP).
The FPE was created and is mandated to help fund the initiatives of Philippine civil society aimed at conserving biodiversity and putting a stop to the further degradation of priority biodiversity sites.
For those who are interested in in-depth conservation projects, visit our website: http://www.su.edu.ph.
Only very few of our local universities can tap foreign fundings like the USAID, etc., Silliman University is one of them.
The buildings and facilities of Silliman University Institute of Environmental and Marine Sciences [SU-IEMS], formerly called the SU Marine Laboratory are made possible through the assistance of USAID.
If you drop by and visit the SUIEMS, the “Center of Excellence in Coastal Resources Management” in Asia, you’ll see and learn a lot all about marine lives including the Philippine Crocodile captive farm where our already becoming extinct crocodile species is being bred. It’s located along the Silliman Beach in Bantayan, Dumaguete City.
Akala kasi ng mga studyante na getting education in Metro Manila is the best option! This is untrue!
Many universities in the provinces [like the UPLB, USC, XU, SU, CPU, Ateneo - Davao/ Zbga/ Naga/ CDO, DLSU - Bacolod/ Dasmarinas, etc. are far better or even best than their counterparts in MM.
They are conducive to learning; and of course very safe.
Only very few universities [I am proud, SU is one of them] in the country that accommodate their students in their campus because they have dormitories/ housing services (you can choose your accommodations: Private/ Semi-private/ Cooperative) and food services (through the SU Cafeteria). In fact, at SU, if you’re from outside Dgte., you are obliqued to stay in Campus for at least first and second years of your residence in the University.
And only very few universities that has “live of its own” such as concerts/ performances/ etcthat are held Campus.
One of our Marine Biology graduate students at the SUIEMS won the grand prize on his research on Transporting Live Fish Without Water in USA.
Imagine that… that’s a lot of savings [for space, handling, fares, etc.]. Before, we use to transport live fishes [particularly those expensive aquarium fishes] with water. With his invention that made him famous, there’s no need for water. The fish is made to “sleep/ hibernate” while on transit. It is awakened upon arrival.
I am proud with our SUIEMS’s Coastal Resources Management/ Marine Science courses [graduate level] and a lot of conservation projects [like Sumilon and Apo Island Reserves, etc.] jointly undertaken with the local government units.
During the Guimaras Oil Spill, SU was quick to conduct the Rapid Site Assessment [RSA] to find out whether or not it affected the environmental lives within the area.
And guess who on top of these? It is Dr. Angel Alcala, the Magsaysay Awardee in Public Service, and former CHED chair and DENR Secretary; and SUIEMS Director Dr. Hilconida Calumpong.
I don’t cre watz the ranking below the no. 1 spot,…coz mgkabalebaliktad man ang kanilang ranking,…University of the Philippines is still the Best! Sulooooong,…mga anak ni OBLE,..! UP….up….!Sulong mga Iskolar ng Bayan!!!!!. . . . .!
Sa inyong schools, are you proud of their achievements and their various services including those services for the communities that they belong?
Share them with us…
yepz roque, Davao Doctors College had a lot of contributions to our community, try to visit our website(“,) http://www.davaodoctors.edu.ph/index/
tenchu. . .
Godbless everyone! (“,)
hello New Eranians! (“,)
To Roque:
Those community contributions achieved by SU peepz, particularly the invention of transporting fish without water and SU’s initiatives during the Guimaras oil spill were both remarkable and commendable. These are the kind of help our nation badly needs. Not the noisy and corrupt lawyers/ politicians and the quiet but greedy businessmen that the Big 4 has been producing and bragging since long ago…
Godspeed Silliman!
TaMaroon:
Hahaha. Tama ka. Many think na ‘jologs’ ang mga taga-UP. Kung tama ang definition ko ng jologs, ang masasabi ko ay marami naman sa ‘min ang normal manamit hehehehehe. Siguro yung iba talagang dun lang nailalabas ang ‘kajologan’ nila. Hahahahaha.
Disclaimer: Hindi ako kasama sa kanila.
di ba 40% ng score sa THES-QS ay galing sa Peer Review? Masasabi ba nating kulang lang talaga tayo sa pag-’market’ ng universities natin?
Yes, ganon nga Gian Paolo…
Since the ranking is done by entities [the THES and the QS] that have personal motives because they are internationally working on and promoting various institutions/ universities to prospective students, then it certainly defeats the purpose!
SU is now the Center of Dev’t in Accountancy
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has recently designated Silliman University as a Center of Development in Accountancy.
SU consistently shows quality performance in the Certified Public Accountant [CPA] Board Exams from 2003 to 2007 of the Professional Regulatory Commission [PRC]. Silliman was awarded as Top 1 accountancy school for Category 4 [10 to 25 examinees].
Silliman’s application for COD in Accountancy was reviewed by the Technical Panel for Business and Management Education and approved by CHED sitting en banc at its 12th Special Meeting on October 15.
Congratulations Sillimanians!
“i won’t ever give credit to this ranking but instead focus more on our principles of education in our country…let us just be realistic that we can’t compete with other universities in other countries…the more we expect the more we get frustrated” -sapienta aedificat
What is your basis, then, of saying that we “can’t compete with other universities”? Forgive me for sounding arrogant this time because it’s just so degrading of you to tell everyone we cannot compete–BUT, just because your institution cannot compete internationally, does not mean the others also cannot. For crying out loud, we are not expecting anything from an unreliable list like THES. We know that we still have a long way to go before reaching international prominence, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and strive to be among the best….
previous posting….Globally the University of the Philippines is ranked at 299.
* De La Salle 392nd
* Ateneo de Manila 484th
* University of Santo Tomas 500th
recent result….the top 400 list was updated na. Actually may top 500 na. Only Ateneo de Manila made it to the list at number 451. De La Salle is 519 and UST is 539. Ngayon, I said “saan kaya nila nakuha yung info nila?” BECAUSE, in case you do not know, UP publicly declared that it will not participate in this year’s survey. Ang link po ay binigay ni Roque. Hanapin mo na lang somewhere above. It turns out that they used UP’s data last year. I believe it’s wrong to do that dahil outdated na ang data na yun. They shouldn’t’ve included UP in the list. As for UST and Ateneo, they still remain uncooperative with THES, just like what they did last year.
my comment:all results that you have posted ( if ever who posted it, i will presume to be true…and i’ll just use it as our data) will be my basis on this forum…
to gian paolo:
firstly,i don’t have any personal hatred on you…as i said its only my opinion…well as you said thats the person in you and i won’t argue if thats how you think of yourself…thou my comment may seem rude as you perceived; we just have different personality and understanding on how we deal with the discussion…i’m just sharing my thoughts and view…at walang personalan.
secondly,again its just my opinion…i said we shouldn’t compete with other universities in other countries (clearly stated as i wrote) but that does not mean that we should not strive to make the best of our schools…you make conclusion without thinking, taking things so literal beyond your imagination…we try to know everything but knowing nothing…i stand to be corrected and i don’t meant any offense…thats the difference among ourselves, i may misinterpret what you say but thats how i see it…sa akin lang, we have different point of views and understanding, kailangan maging malawak ang pag-uunawa natin.
third, base on what are posted it seems only ADMU made good in its ranking DLSU and UST slide back a notch lower, and UP didn’t participated…need i ask why?…if things are not reliable its not best that we post it…now that UP did not participated does it mean, its not one of the best universities…if other universities in our country participated (say SIlliman University), we would be shocked to know that they are better than any other universities? even UP would be offended for such outcome…my point is, let us start within our country how we could unite all universities and have a caliber education that we could compete in the outside world…there are lots of schools in our country but not properly screen to the quality of teaching…just as i read from one of our contributor…he found out na may isang school where masteral is being offered tapos wlang thesis or other requirement eh pumasa?…daming school who have their students took the exams at yet they fair so poorly in the overall result of passing to the extent na wlang pumasa…i pity those who spend money and time but they are only considered as milking cow of this schools…
and lately…these examination scams that were into it again…Civil Engineering examination recently finds out leakage of its examination?…it’s ironic that we become known in other part of the world of such incidence,look what happened to the Nursing examination…nakakahiya para sa atin ito,ito pa naman ang one of the biggest contributor para sa atin ikauunlad but shame on those officials who make things worse for our identity…we couldn’t blame if we are made to be a laughing stock in international tv sitcom because of all this mess…i may put my words in general that anything that is done by human are prone to manipulation that even the integrity of the institution itself make a big blackeye on the integrity of our existence as students of our own school.
what we should stand for is to upgrade the integrity of our knowledge and condemn these officials who make a living of their wickedness…as i say, education in our country is commercialized…with these review centers who connives with this erring officials they take advantage of making a name of its business giving credit to the schools who top the board (again, i’m not saying in totality but for those who knows themselves who gets involved in this anomalous dealing and so with those students who are also a part of it).
this are only my opinion and its for everyone to react about it.
i don’t have any grudge with anyone…if you think i am advise me and i accept your comment and leave this forum with great pleasure…thank you.
PEACE TO EVERYONE…
I wasn’t asking you kung may galit ka sa akin. I said to that to nomad and not to you. (I only replied to your post once. The rest was to nomad–unless you and nomad are one?)
As I have said. The basis of this post is the THES 2006. Unreliable or not, this is the basis of the author of this blog post in determining the “Philippines’ Best Universities”. It is therefore imperative that we show the 2007 results to lessen confusion to the new readers of this post. As I have said, if you think that no-one should post it, then I think you are commenting on the wrong web page. Just because you posted something, it doesn’t mean it’s reliable or you are in favor with it. I am just trying my best (but is my best not good enough? hahaha) to be unbiased that is why post info.
The way you said it, you are implying that we do not have hope. “let us just be realistic that we can’t compete with other universities in other countries…” or something to that effect. That is how I perceive your message. And that was how you said it. However, I may be wrong with my interpretation. Rephrasing your sentence, if that was not what you meant, will be most helpful.
And yes, I do not take this personally din naman. Haha. I may have reacted, well, harshly, but hindi ko naman talaga minasama yun. Hehe.
There are still a lot of universities/institutes here that are globally competitive. Kaya naman hindi ko matanggap na sinabi yun. For instance, the “Harvard Business School of the East” is in the country–the Asian Institute of Management, which both La Salle and Ateneo helped in establishing.
To Sapienta Aedificat:
Anong ibig mong sabihin nito: “If other universities in our country participated (say Silliman University), we would be shocked to know that they are better than any other universities? even UP would be offended for such outcome…?”
Do you mean Silliman University is no good so that when you’ll see it as among the top world universities, you or UP will be offended?
Hello people !!! I am very surprised that nobody mention about the prestigious University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC) of Davao City. UIC is the oldest private Catholic instituiton of higher learning in Davao region and the first school to offer Batchelor of Science in Pharmacy, as well as Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering in Mindano. Lately, the University of the Immaculate Conception was awarded Center of Development for Information Technology. UIC is an autonomous university with Level III accreditation granted by the Commssion on Higher Education.
Thank you Paul for adding the UNIVERSITY of the IMMACULATE CONCEPTION in the list as one of the best universities in the Philippines. UIC has all the reason to be proud as one of her graduates is now a cadet of the prestigious United States Military Academy at West Point in New York. CADET CHRISTY ISIS ACHANZAR is the FIRST FILIPINA to graduate West Point in 2008. She took up Electrical Engineering from the University of the Immaculate Conception and graduated in 2004. Neither UP, UST, Ateneo, DLSU, Silliman, USC etc. could claim this honor, only the UNIVERSITY of the IMMACULATE CONCEPTION of DAVAO CITY. KUDOS UIC !!!!
FYI here is the press release on Cadet Achanzar: http://nancydrewandme.blogspot.com/2007/04/first-filipina-to-graduate-west-point.html
or for more info google: United States Military Academy and search for Cadet Christy Achanzar

arrêtez la mentalité de crabe! nous sommes nés du même sang. il ne vous fait pas moins qu’un homme pour admettre que votre école n’est pas incluse dans la liste d’écoles d’exécution de dessus ni il vous fera sur le dessus si votre école est énumérée dans elle!
comment pouvons-nous atteindre la liberté vraie quand nous nous-mêmes sommes faits à captif de notre propre avarice? comme ligne célèbre de notre héros national, Dr. Jose Rizal va… ‘Unus Instar Omnium’.

Joyeux Noël à tous!
to sir roque:
i’m just making a statement if ever Silliman University or other universities would have participated and submitted the requirement as needed to THES, wouldn’t it be possible that any one of these universities (as i cited Silliman University) be more better in ranking than UP or even be the topnotch in our country?…i’m seems that your giving me a negative impression of Silliman University and i feel that all i’m saying are negative against said school…for everyones information i’m not putting anything against any school…masyado kasi tayo consentrated with our own school…we know who’s the best and who’s the worse school in the country…kaya tuloy namimisinterpret nyo ako kasi nakaconcentrate lang tayo sa sarili natin (i’m sorry if that’s how you interpret it)…every student has his/her own right to say that their school is the best and im’m proud of everyone saying that their alma mater is indeed the best…if only we have the voice to say to our education official it’s much better if we tackle things what is best to be done how we could make our system of education be at par with the best universities outside of our country…kaya ang nangyayari we are making things worse, kailangan magtulungan ang mga school para mapaganda ang systema ng antas ng atin edukasyon.
we don’t need to brag about where we come for…ayan na nga’t nagsalita na si kathy na sa school nila ang 1st Filipina West Pointer…baka sa susunod na magbabasa ako…may magreact at sabihin na nasa kanila ang pinakamaraming naging Presidente ng Pilipinas…i feel proud that indeed we have a filipina to graduate one of the prestigious military academy in the world…at least alam ko na meron na palang babae na nagtapos sa West Point…thou she may not be that prominent as those of being the president of the country,i’m proud that your school (University of Immaculate Concepcion) has produce a distinguish alumnae…we too has produce such noted graduates of said Military institutions (Acop-West Point and Jaurigue-Naval Academy)…actually, we are all graduates of same boy’s high school which has produced topnotchers or made a name in UP…noted is atty. marvic l of college of law and recently the bar topnotcher who graduated in a different university…we just have to be proud of everyone who made a name for their school…at the end of the day lilipas din ang lahat.
hope i have clarified things up (sir roque) and also to gian paolo, sorry and i stand corrected for what i have written probably you just misinterpret what i mean.
sir roque, does it mean that ranking of THES would i say a gage to market a local university for foreign students who would like to study in said country?would i be correct if i say parang sila ang advertiser…correct me if i’m wrong…thats how i interpret what you reply to gian paolo….thanks
Yes, the THES and QS are actually doing promotional activities for students who would like to study in foreign universities initially for graduate studies… That’s why the ranking that they are making for world universities is nothing but a big SCAM! They have personal interest on the matter!
Who says that Silliman University is not a Global University? Di sana, walang foreign students dito… Di sana, walang foreign volunteers who either teach or under research dito…
Maraming Americans, Canadians, Africans, Iranians, Malaysians, Thais, etc. who are presently studying in the University right now!
Noon, mayroon akong classmates, who belong to royal families from Nigeria and Tasmania.
Since SU is now partnering with the Chinese Government and selected universities in China for their training in nursing and English [take note, the University is one of the Centers of Excellence in Nursing Education and is known for proficiency in English language plus the fact that the University is the Oldest American University in Asia], Dumaguete City is now loaded with Chinese. Marami na ring Koreans in the University.
Our Silliman University Institute of Environment & Marine Sciences [SUIEMS] has non-stop local and foreign visitors/ exchange researchers to undertake studies on marine sciences and environmental management.
And many foreign retirees are now staying/ living in Dumaguete City, the City of Gentle People and Negros Oriental.
Among foreigners, napapansin ko kakaiba ang Koreans… Mahilig sila mag-stay together, mayayabang, walang paki-alam, at pangit ugali nila…
Kayo, napapansin nyo sila?
to sir roque:
well, thats their culture.mga arrogante mga yan and whats funny about them pag nagkagalit nagsusuntukan sila…we can’t do anything about what they are,dito man sa amin madami rin koreans…probably its the climate and aside that of the schools around our city…i got a brother n law who lives in bais city,villanueva’s and a family friend canga’s and also a boarder of us who use to study in UPCB and eventually Diliman by the name of ursicio cenas so with lopez who migrated in our city and have been my classmate in high school and college…are you familiar with them.
Very familiar yong mga Villanuevas, Lopezes [itong dalawa of Spanish blood I guess], Cangas, etc. dito Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental.
Sa totoo lang, maraming mga mistisa/ mistiso of Spanish blood dito sa Dgte and Negros Oriental.
Sa Silliman University, marami yan… at simple lang sila… walang make up… makita mo talagang litaw ang ganda!
Simple lang kasi mga students dito… halos walang maskara… ang nagmamake up lang yong students coming from Manila or Luzon…
And we really speak English inside the Campus…

You may add your opinions to this recent development of our universities in the Philippines. For one thing though, Ateneo de Manila is doing really great !!!! Ateneo outranks DLSU. UP went down with DLSU and worse came UST in the last.
Thanks sir Otin (oops.) Nakakapressure naman. Hehe.
Nah, I do get off-topic din, especially when my emotions over me.
Alleged conspiracy aside, one thing that is probably not good with THES is the idea of ranking itself. Parang ang hirap naman kasing icompare ang isang humanities-centered institution at isang technological institute. Ang hirap icompare ng isang research university at isang university na ang concentration ay pagproduce ng mga graduates for the industry.
For example, one incoming college freshman looks for a university to pursue a degree in engineering. He/She checks the ranking. In the ranking, he finds out that University A is 100 places higher than University B. However, University B is better in engineering than University A (let us assume that this is an established fact that is not based on another ranking). Unless magreresearch pa ng maigi yung student, he/she will conclude na mas maganda kung sa University A siya papasok–hence, confusion.
It would be better sana, kung ang ranking ay per category (e.g. Top IT schools, top humanities schools, etc.) na lamang at wala ng unification. Hindi naman kasi sports event ito na tulad ng SEA games na may overall champion.
Aww… Too bad bumaba rank ng La Salle. I pretty much don’t care, though.
I still think DLSU is a very good school especially when it comes to business courses like accountancy (I’m a BSA student in DLSU =D). GO LA SALLE! 
To cempire:
I think mali yong sinasabi mong rankings [Kung tama yon, di dapat kasama sa Top 401-500 sila at di dapat ibanggit sa results ng studies... common sense naman, pre!]:
2 SCHOOLS THAT MADE THE TOP 500
UP – 398TH (non-official participation)
ATENEO – 451ST

DLSU – 519TH
UST – 535TH
Kasi, itong 4 na universities na ito’y part ng Top 401-500 Top World Universities in 2007.
