October 25, 2007 at 2:51 pm
san po ung source nito?…kasi the one i saw was university of the cordilleras was ranked number 14th eh… and ateneo de manila is missing in this top 20…hmmm
October 26, 2007 at 12:03 am
I got mine from an email through yahoogroups and supported by this link http://www.gov.ph/forum/thread.asp?rootID=68541&catID=6 only. As for the second list provided by Jun, I can’t find it.
November 21, 2007 at 11:47 am
Wow! my School University of Negros Occidental-
Recoletos was included…
December 14, 2007 at 1:26 pm
The study was based on the passing rate of each schools in several board exams. We all know that UP always has 90% or more passing rate because it has the less examinees.Which among the top 20 schools produces the most number of doctors, lawyers,engineers, accountants, architects, nurses, PTs, med techs? PRC should publish an article also about this one.
January 11, 2008 at 4:38 pm
..san po nkha ung mga datas na to?? nid ur help..nllto na q kng san univ. aq ppsok eh..,
January 12, 2008 at 8:48 pm
@beth
If your going to cite this blog for research I’m afraid this would not be a very good reference because I just got the data from an email of a friend. Now if it were to decide which school to go to then may I suggest that you look at what are your priorities.
Is it prestige? Is it affordability? Is it distance from home? Is it the number of old friends also there? Know what you want and decide on that.
Beth, hindi mo kelangan malito. Sa opinyon ko lang [pwede mong pakinggan o hindi] kasi ang success mo ay wala sa pangalan ng school mo kung hindi nasa pagsusumikap na gagawin mo.
Okay, I admit that in your first job more preference will be given if you graduated from a prestigious university but it will only be helpful for a year or two because honestly the real factor in climbing your way to the top is simply the attitude you decide to project towards any endeavor you take-on and especially towards the challenges that come your way.
January 15, 2008 at 3:42 am
didnt know that a school with lame teachers who doznt even know how to pronounce and explain well would make a name…hahaha… Xavier University nakalusot tayo!!!
January 15, 2008 at 3:44 am

January 16, 2008 at 10:56 am

January 17, 2008 at 10:35 am

San Beda is known for being a top school in the field of accountancy and law. how come San Beda didn’t make it to the top? karamihan dito mataas ang passing percentage sa engineering, education at nursing na napakadali naman ng board exems at may leakage pa. tignan niyo, cpa and bar exams are the toughest and San Beda are always on the top three of those exams
March 12, 2008 at 2:46 pm

Guys dont ger overly excited….
That list is only good locally (meaning just in the country)
The world is big, and none of the schools from that list even made it to the Top 1000 in the world or even asia.
For Tech guys…. invest on International Certificates such as Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle, Solaris…. that’s your only ticket to the real thing.
peace
April 26, 2008 at 12:07 pm
huh?
how come wala ang PUP?!
is this for real?
anyway, im proud UPD has once again towered the rest
GO UP!!!
April 26, 2008 at 12:09 pm
for neo,
please be aware that UP is included in the top 1000 schools of the world?
u must be crazy?!:)
April 27, 2008 at 3:11 am
I believe PLM emerges as one of the best schools same with UP and Ateneo. Though PLM lacks facilities, still PLM-students manage to excel.Shame to schools which offer high tuition fees yet with underrated students….you know who you are…..No need to mention…God Bless PLM!!!katalinuhan kadakilaan kaunlaran!!!
April 27, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Wrong source of information on the new top 20 school.
April 27, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Ateneo De Manila and Mapua should be their I think.
April 28, 2008 at 12:27 am
@reger
I hope you are not saying the above post on my blog is wrong simply because the schools you thought should be there aren’t there.
April 29, 2008 at 7:39 am
tanong ko lang saan yang University of Southern Philippines Sa Davao..
san yan sya banda? pls…………
i really need a reply
April 30, 2008 at 11:21 am
San Beda is still the top Law school in the country. Bedan lawyers are the finest law graduates in and outside the court.

baka naman CENTRAL MINDANAO UNIVERSITY?
paki check daw :-”
May 5, 2008 at 9:09 am
oh wel….central philippines university does exist nga…
i was just thinking for a bit lang…..how come wala ang central mindanao university?
we are number 2 or 3 in agriculture…4 in veterinary medicine…4th or 5th in nutrition and dietitics….5th or something in forestry….
is this based on the NUMBERS of those who passed ba?
May 7, 2008 at 8:24 am
“CMU IS THE BEST” kung marami lang course sa CMU siguro kasali kami sa top 5.
May 7, 2008 at 8:27 am
“Congratulatios to all Central Mindanao University Students”
CMU is “The Academic Paradise Of The South”
May 21, 2008 at 1:10 am
wow, SLU simply the best!
May 21, 2008 at 8:58 pm
i think ateneo de manila should have been included there.. ATENEO DE MANILA definitely is the best JESUIT SCHOOL in the country.
xavier university is a good school. bt its not the best in mindanao. the best school here in the south would definitely be MSU-Iligan Institute of Tecnology.
it excels both in the academic and extra curriculars. engineering students in msu-iit are even better than UP studs, top1 and top2 in rank. accountancy is also good coz they got the number 2 rank. also, msu-iit is the only school in mindanao bearing the center of excellence in science and mathematics. for the arts, msu-iit has the best performing arts guild and chorale in mindanao, naMely IPAG and Octava. and iit offers the lowest tuition fees..
quality education should be seen holistically
May 29, 2008 at 1:33 pm
MSU-IIT to be one of the best, got no doubt about it! Go, go, go MSU-IIT!
May 29, 2008 at 11:05 pm

Oppsss… Caution guys, because what you are seeing is just a virtual listing of top 20 colleges/universities in the Philippines. Please try to find out the real one. It is hard to believe ADMU-Manila, USLS-Bacolod and West Visayas State Univ are not found in the list. Don’t be over excited! The BIG questions are… HOW CREDIBLE WAS THE SURVEY? DOES THE ORGANIZATION (conducted such survey) HAVE AN ESTABLISHED INTEGRITY? Hhhmmm… I doubt it.
June 22, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Go msu main…????
Go IIT
June 24, 2008 at 8:56 pm
nagtataka lang ako…
oo nga sinasabi niyo na no. 1 kau sa ganyan… na nag excell kau sa program na yan..
pero panu naman sa ibang programs na inoffer ng skul nio na hindi nag eexcell diba?
sinasabi nio na dapat nasa list ung school nio….pero alam ko din na hindi ganun ka accurate and precise ung survey..pero goodluck na din sa ibang schools…
isa lang masasabi ko…
GO USTe!
400 years of unending grace!!
pis:D
June 26, 2008 at 8:38 am
have you revisted the results of the board exams? I think lasalle-manila have performed well and have always occupied most of the rankings in the list of board top notchers, be it in cpa licensure exam, engineering etc… Not to mention that there were also recent publication releases from the US which included UP, Ateneo-Manila and Lasalle as top universities in respective order. Could you give us a detailed information on how you came up on the list, were there any deliberations and study conducted? This is to give JUST credit to performing schools. You should review your procedure before you release any report.
June 26, 2008 at 11:22 am
May be the editor overlooked the word ” Public ” in the Title. It should be presented as Top 20 Public schools in the Philippines otherwise San Beda College should be number one in the list. For the mean time please search for the Top 10 schools that has the richest and good looking students in the world where SBC is rank number 1 as follows:
1. San Beda College (Philippines)
2. Harvard University (USA)
3. Cambridge University (United Kingdom)
4. Stanford University (USA)
5. University of California – Berkeley (USA)
Thanks!

San Beda is known for being a top school in the field of accountancy and law. how come San Beda didn’t make it to the top? karamihan dito mataas ang passing percentage sa engineering, education at nursing na napakadali naman ng board exems at may leakage pa. tignan niyo, cpa and bar exams are the toughest and San Beda are always on the top three of those exams – agree. perhaps ndi naman napakadali pero sobrang mataas ang passing rate compared with law and accountancy..
Besides, this does not include the “real thing”: Being Fully Human, Wholly Christian and Truly Filipino!=)

statistics are not meant for public bragging.
it should be a way to encourage other universities to keep up. (wag maxado insecure)
anyways, i am a prould PLMayer.
saludo ako s mga public universities that managed to be on their bests depsite of lack of funds, materials,facilities. (pure resourcefulness and sharp instincts ang tawag don) PARTIDA in popular term.
students from these schools learned to be leaner, tougher and realistic when it comes to the world outside because they already had the glimpse of it. kahet nkachinelas, shorts. damit na galing sa ukay-ukay. ok na. bsta makapasok.
=)
July 5, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Wish ko lang na ang mga pinost dito na mga top 20 schools e real…..mukha namang fabricated ang data
July 5, 2008 at 11:50 pm
well I don’t need this CHED data to know these things…. The best university in the Philippines is pretty much subjective. If you learned a lot from your school and managed to attain enriching life experiences, then who cares if noone passes the licensure examination? Unfortunately, that’s only my personal opinion, not something shared by most employers. However let me comment on one comment.
“he study was based on the passing rate of each schools in several board exams. We all know that UP always has 90% or more passing rate because it has the less examinees.Which among the top 20 schools produces the most number of doctors, lawyers,engineers, accountants, architects, nurses, PTs, med techs? PRC should publish an article also about this one.” Juan Tamad
Well… are you implying my university sucks?? How dare you?! Even a new york times higher education survey included our school in the top 500 in the world even though we haven’t submitted any of their requirements, jsut goes to show how good we are. How dare you even suggest that…………….

A-T-E-N-E-O!!! yeehah!
xavier university-ateneo de cagayan consistent yan! congrats, ateneo de davao and ateneo de manila (but why only at #6?).
let’s get real, whatever the standards, ateneo schools would always make the it to the top of any study/survey, so for all the sorry whiners out there, wise up and concede! there are hundreds claiming to be the best but surely not all can fit into the top 20 (but ey, if it were a top 50, your school just might have made it, too) and you can scream and argue all you want but the numbers pretty much ends the discussion.
kudos to u.p. and the rest of the top 20. but san beda… you poor, misguided thing. sure, you’re good but there’s probably a good reason why
up to this day, you still call your pretty little school ‘college’.
(heheh. funny how we all bicker about being the best when we can’t even put our country to any but “the worst” list).

No doubt that ADAMSON UNIVERSITY (AdU) is part of the Top 20 Universities in the Philippines…
It only shows that we don’t need to spend so much just to educate ourselves in a highest paying tuition fee schools here in the Philppines.
Adamson, a private-catholic, Vincentian university could give us the proper education that we need.
Being on the list simply deserves by the institution for it produces several and uncountable students who passed the board examinaitons in their respective field..
As ADAMSON said, “Education with a heart is what they served.”

@ Val please read and understand.
PRC and CHED also release school performance every year.
The 2007 Top 20 Schools in the Philippines, According to CHED
Posted Dec 13, 2007
The Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) have determined the Top Twenty Schools in the Philippines, namely:
Luzon, arguably the most developed area of the Philippines, remains on top of the Visayas and Mindanao. Eleven of the institutions listed are based there, compared to the 2 of Visayas and 7 of Mindanao.
1. University of the Philippines
2. University of the Philippines
3. University of the Philippines
4. Siliman University
5. Ateneo de Davao University
6. Ateneo de Manila University

Philippine News speculates on the reasons behind these rankings:
Any reader would be inclined to state that those focusing on the quantitative sciences, technology, mechanical arts, applied sciences and the like achieved their ranks because of their role in today’s educational landscapes in line with global concerns that come with the majority of professional stipulations and requirements. [emphasis ours]
In layman’s terms, the schools deserve their rank because of an apparent focus on in-demand fields (particularly those related to IT and technology). But the same could be said of institutions that focus on these “in” courses. Perhaps prestige, reputation, and perceived quality also go a long way.
Update: Reader Josh has called our attention to a thread on the Tsikot forums. Apparently, the list above is “superseded” by a study conducted by the CHED and PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) over the past five years. According to the study, the following are the correct Top 20 schools:
1. University of the Philipines-Diliman
2. University of Santo Tomas

To a large extent, institutions differ in real effectiveness of instruction, and there are some that possess a high prestige and merit it, while some are simply tagged as “lesser fancied school”. Leaders in all walks of life are by no means confined to being graduates of those so-called “high-ranking” schools. Undeniably, much depends upon what a student brings with himself, and being a graduate of such institutions guarantees nothing in the way of learning and success. After all, life is more than just about schools.
I am from New Era University. I am not from any of those “top” schools; but I’ve learned what I’m supposed to learn.

i think PUP is one is one of the best universities in the philippines…
hndi lang kc pancnin pero matatalino tlaga mga stdyante dun…
sana alam un ng ched..
isa ang PUP s mga schools n ngpapatunay na “MAHIRAP K MAN, MATALINO K NAMAN… d kc k2lad ng ibang schools, mayayaman man ang mga studyante, hndi naman PINAPAIRAL ANG UTAK…
October 11, 2008 at 3:49 am
wahehehe….
Kakatawa mga comments ng mga taga-Luzon… Too assertive and defensive… Hahaysss….
I-qualify lang natin ang mga arguments nyo ha…
Those list, ranking or whatever you may call it, is a supposed ranks of the school according to “studies” made by the CHED or PRC… Combined ba to??
Kasi kung combined study to, it is more or less credible… Why??
CHED – Government agency who checks and regulates schools performances, facilities and the likes; and
PRC – Government agency who administer professional exams and passers…
Grabee naman… with those two agencies, di pa kayo nagtitiwala…?? Alam nila lahat kung paano i-rate ang isang school according to their standards, AND NOT YOURS, like the passers which will tantamount to schools performance….
Pero tama yung nagsabi na there should be a categorization of ranking kasi kawawa yung mga schools na hindi nasasali dahil kakaunti lang yung mga courses na ino-offer… Tsk tsk….
Anyways,
Yung halos mangbulyaw sa galit dahil di deserving ang ganito ang ganyan, tanong lang…
yung mga nasa top ang school at nagmamalaki:
* may na-contribute ka ba para magtop ang school mo?
* are you living with your school’s mission and vision?
* are you living with your school’s standards?
* na i-sapuso mo ba ang mga itinuturo ng school nyo sayo?
yung mga di nakapasok ang school at nanggagalaiti sa inis:
* itanong nyo kaya sa sarili nyo kung bakit…
* hindi purket sikat ay pasok na.. okies…
* maniwala na lang kayo sa salitang “HOPE”
* ‘wag mag-alala, di lahat nang nasa top 20 ay 100% na nagpo-produce ng matatalinong estudyante..
* tingnan nyo na lang ang strength ng school nyo na pwedeng ipagmalaki..
hahaysss…..
I was also once struggling to find the best school here in visayas but I later found out na wala sa school ang success ng isang tao… It’s on the student or person himself/herself…
I am currently a Law student of the Best Law School outside Manila and it has been a debate between classmates kung makakaapekto ba ang school for us “future lawyers” kuno and sad to say I am not one of those who are defending in favor of our school kasi nga daw nagpo-produce ng mga bar topnotchers..
For me, it is the attitude of the student of how he/she accept the fact that studying is and will never be easy and thus he/she should study hard to exile no matter what school he/she is enrolled…
Last 2007 Bar Exam, the Top 5 Performing Schools are the following:
1.) Ateneo de Manila University
2.) San Beda College
3.) University of the Philippines – Diliman
4.) University of San Carlos
5.) Ateneo de Davao University
I maybe proud that I am studying in University of San Carlos but in the end it won’t be the school that will matter to know my self-worth but my determination to fulfill my dream….
Carolinians are not bound to brag what we have but the marks are there… We are one of the best and we will always be….

It is good to be able say to someone with pride the name of one’s school specially if you know that the person can recognized your school as one of the best. However allowing it to be the sole criterion for pride is childish.
Pride is defined “a feeling of self-respect and personal worth”. Emphasis on words self and personal. It involves you! So assess what YOU have contributed to gain that should be given honor and respect. Have YOU done your part?
Give more pride on yourself – not by what you can do but more on what you have done. Remember that after school we mold our self to perfection and drive ourselves to greatness. And that decision will always be ours.

Well, MSU-IIT someday would rise up to top 1. hehehe..!
October 13, 2008 at 11:18 pm
well, every school/college/university deserves to be in the top list because they did their jobs to impart what must be imparted to every student. It now on the hands of the student on how they will carry themselves, (of course alongside with them is the name of the school where they grad.)to prove that their school is the best.
Determination and hard work is the key pals.
October 15, 2008 at 8:23 pm
hey paki ask daw who is the highest gainer of score on mechanical engineering on the history of the phillipines..pls….is it rolando maliwat jr.

most grad students in that school are many-paid!!!!want some proof??? it may lead to blacklist those prof!!!

i dont think that PUP deserves to be in the latter part of the ranking…

Proud to be PUPian…

October 21, 2008 at 8:56 pm
ba’t walang nakasama kahit sang university sa bicol? kung tutuusin walang binatbat yang mayayabang na eskwelahan sa manila compared sa university of nueva caceres, ateneo de naga or universidad de santa isabel.

Ateneo tops UP in world list
DLSU, UST cited
By Kristine L. Alave
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 06:28:00 10/16/2008
MANILA, Philippines—Ateneo de Manila University is not only No. 1 in basketball, but is also the leading tertiary school in the Philippines, based on several criteria like peer and employer review, faculty-student ratio and citations of teaching staff.
But the University of the Philippines (UP), ranked No. 2 in the country this year after being No. 1 in 2007, dismissed the findings of The Times Higher Education-Quacquarelli Symonds (THE-QS) World University Rankings 2008.
UP said it did not take part in this year’s survey.
The THE-QS World University Rankings 2008 showed that the Jesuit-led Ateneo was leading the pack in the Philippines, followed by UP, De La Salle University (DLSU), and University of Santo Tomas (UST).
In the survey released this week, Ateneo ranked 254th, leaping from between 400th and 500th position last year. Ateneo was sandwiched between London’s School of Oriental and African Studies and the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain.
UP, the country’s premier state university, was at 274th place, up from 398th last year. UP was placed between two German universities—the University of Hamburg and Ulm University.
DLSU and UST, both Catholic universities like Ateneo, were ranked 415th and 470th, respectively. In the past year, the two schools were out of the Top 500.
The 2008 results reversed past trends, where the state-run UP led in the rankings and where Philippine universities hovered between the 400 and 500 levels.
Best showing for RP schools
Overall, this year highlighted the best showing of Philippine universities in the rankings yet.
The survey was conceived to rank the world’s top tertiary educational institutions based on how other academies (40 percent) and employers (10 percent) perceive them, the number of citations in accredited publications (20 percent), student and faculty ratio (20 percent), and the number of international teachers (5 percent) and students (5 percent) in the institution.
The survey also measured the schools’ performance in the fields of life sciences, arts and humanities, natural sciences, social sciences and technology.
The THE-QS website only lists the top 100 schools in the field subject rankings. None of the Philippine institutions made it to the top 100 list.
Heartened
Ateneo officials said they were heartened by the school’s strong showing.
Antonette Angeles, Ateneo vice president for academic affairs, said the community “was very happy” about the results. “It is important to us because it shows how people outside see us,” she said.
The findings, Angeles noted, reflected Ateneo’s efforts to internationalize the university and to encourage more research work from its faculty.
Ateneo has consistently enjoyed positive perception from the business community, she said.
By contrast, UP raised doubts on the survey’s validity, saying the university did not take part in this year’s survey. It took part in 2007.
Problematic methodology
In a statement, Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo, UP vice president for public affairs, said the state university did not join because the survey organizers refused to disclose where and how they got their data.
“Since it does not specify who are surveyed or what questions are asked, the methodology is problematic,” Hidalgo said.
For this year’s survey, UP was not invited to participate, she said.
Hidalgo said UP president Emerlinda Roman only received an e-mail message from QS Asia Pacific director, Mandy Mok, notifying her that UP had “gone up in the rankings.”
The QS e-mail also informed UP that it could advertise in the 2009 Top University Guide and join the university fair for a fee of $49,000, Hidalgo said.
“UP can hardly be expected to spend more than P2 million on publicity for itself involving a survey conducted by an organization that refuses to divulge where it obtains its data,” Hidalgo said.
Harvard tops list
The survey showed that Harvard University in Massachusetts topped the 2008 list, as it did in the previous years. It was followed by Yale University, also in Massachusetts, and University of Cambridge and University of Oxford—both in Britain.
Two institutions from the Asia-Pacific landed in the Top 20: the Australian National University at 16th place and the University of Tokyo at 19th place.
October 23, 2008 at 12:26 pm
UP, ateneo and DLSU are not the best schools in this country. There are other schools outside manila that produce quality education just like SLU and MSU. SLU and MSU are not that popular compared to these schools in manila simple because their students are not that mayayaman. Thats my beliefs.
October 29, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Go silliman university… The best university in the south…
No wonder we ranked 4th!
Hahah…

I would just like to point out that the true list coming from CHED and PRC shows SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY in Baguio City no 3 and not no. 10 as presented. To avoid confusion show the latest one so that those not listed will be able to make the necessary adjustment so they will be included next time around. Eka nga sa mga wala sa listahan better luck next time. School administrators should view this as a wake up call or a yard stick for improvement. At least this time may ginawang mabuti ang CHED at PRC.
November 5, 2008 at 7:14 pm
“To the listed schools congratulatios”. One thing that i want to point out that not all expensive schools when it comes to tuition fee will make it to the list. Look what happened to Saint Louis University #3 in the list and one of the cheapest private schools in the north if not in Luzon. So, its not always that expensive schools will produce top notch student. Its a fact.
SLU is the proof.
November 6, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Tama ka dyan kabayan, like Univ of Negros Occidental-Recoletos dati wala pero kasi kunti pa lang courses dun. Ngayon dami na, Nursing, Law, Medtech, Dentistry, ECE, COE, Social Work, Criminology, most especially sa ENGG like EE,ME,CE, CHEM dati pa kaming nasa top notch sa board exams. ENGINEERING LANG PAG-USAPAN marami masisibak sa listahan. Itaga man sa bato!!!
Congrats! SLU-No.3
at sa mga Visayan schools, USC-CEBU, Siliman-DUMAGUETE, CPU-ILOILO,
at sa School ko UNO-R * Bacolod,,,,, No. 14 na. -VISAYAS yan ha!!!

well, congratulations sa SLU. ito ang patunay na hindi kailangang mahAl ang edukasyon…. shame to those schools na abot langit ang taas ng TF pero basura naman ang klase ang edukasyon ang ibinibigay. GOD BLESS SLU… SApIENTIA AEDIFICAT (WISDOM BUILDS)

All of the country’s top universities would boast of offering quality education. Silliman is no different. But while it joins the ranks of prestigious Philippine universities, it is humbled by a gift of a location that bespeaks of the natural environment’s complement to academic learning – one feature that sets Silliman apart from the rest.
November 13, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I acknowledge the presence of the “big 4″ namely UP, ADMU, DLSU and UST.
Actually it is my dream to study in UP, but I did not meet the deadline in getting the application form for the UPCAT. I only drean of UP and no other schools in metro manila. Maybe Ateneo, but I think I will be needing a scholarship for that. hehe! Mahal kasi! Pero sa UP mahal na rin eh pero kaya pa naman.
Unfortunately, PUPCET is the only entrance exam I took because it was in the latter part of the school year. Dun lang ako tinuliro na mag-exam sa manila-based school.
So dito ako sa PUP ngayon, even though not the best, but I firmly believe that it is one of the best as stated above. Wala akong regrets na dito ako napunta (meron din pala, konti lang.haha). Sa tingin ko, PUP is a great training ground for future journalists like me. I must admit, maganda rin ang education dito, not as I expected, akala ko maning-mani lang hindi pala. Hehe! Inadequate ang facilities dito kaya matututunan ko for sure ang isang quality nawala ako nung high school—–resourcefulness. hehe!
But I really feel that discrimination of being a PUPian (you know what i mean?) and I don’t feel the need to elaborate. But despite that, I know my Alma Mater and its students have something to prove. Most of the student here are under financial problems but we are no imbeciles. We can slap it onto to the face of those who will say we are.
Magaling Kami! At hindi yan kataka-taka!
Mabuhay ang Iskolar ng Bayan sa PUP!
Mabuhay ang Sintang Paaralang PUP!

perhaps one of the best things readers should actually know and discover is the performance of the University of the Cordilleras. Inspite of its meager resources, the university produced over a hundred topnotchers (and still producing) in the field of law, engineering, teacher education, architecture, accountancy and the best in the country for 23 consecutive times in criminology. Maliit talaga ang campus unlike other schools na sprawling pa , and yet the university is making its hay in the field of quality education. Its not even imposing rigid college entrance exam and retention policies, but true to its mission, they developed a kind of moral compass guiding everyone to fulfill their dream minus expensive tuition. Anong sey nyo?

ei guys.. i’m from SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY.. well, i was a bit shocked knowing Silliman is in the number 4 spot sa top performing schools. and i guess most of the students do feel the same way too. well, we sillimanians assume that lots of schools (especially those of the NCR) are way better than us. i could say that we always keep our feet on the ground and make sure that all glory and honor still goes to Him.
i’m an accountancy student and most of the board passers i talked with would say that the board exam per se is not as difficult as those exams we usually have in our school. they say that lots of factors affect their performance in the board exam: homesickness, lacking of financial support to name a few. our mentor who was working in SGV would say that what makes Sillimanians stand out among other students, even those from intimidating schools like UP, Ateneo, and La Salle is the fact that the’re humble. Sillimanians don’t refuse when given menial tasks such as photocopying in the basement and all, those tasks that students from other school feel they don’t deserve doing, saying that they’re not sent to school in order to do such tasks.
Silliman is not as fame-hungry as other schools especially those in ncr. but one thing for sure is that we always make sure that excellence ,competence ,character and faith always go together.
Go Silliman University!
the journey of 107 years goes on and on…

WITH DUE RESPECT
Bar exam roll of honor
By Artemio V. Panganiban
Inquirer
First Posted 08:11am (Mla time) 04/15/2007
Filed Under: Laws
MANILA, Philippines — For a job superbly done, unfettered felicitations are due the 2006 Supreme Court Bar Examination Committee (chaired by the able and amiable Justice Angelina Sandoval Gutierrez) and the following examiners: Salvador B. Lao (Political Law), Salvador C. Medialdea (Labor), retired Supreme Court Justice Josue N. Bellosillo (Civil Law), Court of Tax Appeals Presiding Justice Ernesto D. Acosta (Taxation), Nilo B. Peña (Mercantile Law), retired Sandiganbayan Justice Romeo M. Escarreal (Criminal Law), retired Supreme Court Justice Bernardo P. Pardo (Remedial Law), and Deputy Court Administrator Zenaida D. Elepaño (Legal Ethics). The Office of the Bar Confidant, headed by the indefatigable Cristina B. Layusa, assisted the committee.
Highlights of the 2006 test. Of the 6,187 who took the exam (the largest batch ever), 30.60 percent passed. During the last 60 years, from 1946 to 2006, the highest passing percentage was registered in 1954 at 75.17 percent; the lowest in 1999 at 16.59 percent. From 1982 to the present, the passing grade had consistently been 75 percent. Prior to 1982, the passing mark was invariably “reconsidered” to include grades below 75 percent; to as low as 69 percent in 1947, 69.45 percent in 1946, and 70 percent in 1948, 1963, 1972 and 1974.
In the latest test, Noel Neil Q. Malimba of the University of the Cordilleras came out numero uno, followed by Deborah S. Acosta (UP) and Ricardo M. Pilares III (Ateneo de Manila) who tied for second place; Erika Ana Andrea C. Jimenez (Ateneo), third; Maria Charizza B. Carlos (Ateneo), fourth; Gina Lyn R. Rubio (Far Eastern University), fifth; Anjuli Larla A. Tan (Romualdez Educational Foundation), sixth; Karen H. Gaviola (University of San Carlos), seventh; Al-shwaid L. Ismael (University of Cebu), eighth; Timothy Joseph M. Mendoza (UP), ninth; and Alain Charles J. Veloso (UP), 10th.
The year 2006 marks the first time that four non-Metro Manila schools landed in the top 10. This is also the first time that the Romualdez Educational Foundation and the University of Cebu (UC) produced placers. Congratulations to Deans Martin Romualdez and Adelino Sitoy. UC president Augusto Go was so enthused by the success of UC’s first law graduates that he gifted Ismael with a brand new car.
Top schools in bar history. During the last 37 years, from 1969 to 2006, the first place had always been monopolized by Ateneo and UP, interrupted only in 2006 and 1998 (Janet B. Abuel) by the University of the Cordilleras, in 2002 by the University of Santo Tomas (Arlene M. Maneja), in 1975 by the University of the East (Nicanor B. Padilla Jr.) and in 1970 by the Far Eastern University (Romulo D. San Juan). From 1944 to 1968, San Beda, FEU, MLQ University, Philippine Law School, University of Manila and Divine Word College (of Bohol) competed actively with Ateneo and UP.
From 1944 to the present, the top 10 spots were captured mostly by the above-mentioned schools, plus Lyceum of the Philippines, San Sebastian College, Arellano University and Adamson University.
Provincial schools with top 10 placers include the University of San Carlos, Ateneo de Davao, University of Perpetual Help, Bicol Colleges, University of San Agustin, Colegio (now University) de San Jose-Recoletos, University of the Visayas, Silliman University, University of Bohol, University of Nueva Caceres, University of Southern Philippines,
*University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos*,
University of Iloilo, St. Louis University, University of St. La Salle, Mindanao State University, Xavier University and others.
Past top 10 achievers. Four incumbent Supreme Court justices are bar placers: Antonio T. Carpio (6th place, 1975), Adolfo S. Azcuna (4th, 1962), Presbitero J. Velasco Jr. (6th, 1971) and Antonio B. Nachura (7th, 1967), along with two Supreme Court officials, Assistant Court Administrator Antonio H. Dujua (8th, 1969) and Corazon G. Ferrer-Flores (10th, 1986).
Of the 21 past chief justices, nine were topnotchers: Jose Yulo (3rd, 1915), Cesar Bengzon (2nd, 1919), Roberto Concepcion (1st, 1924), Querube C. Makalintal (7th, 1933), Ramon C. Aquino (6th, 1939), Claudio Teehankee (1st, 1940), Pedro L. Yap (1st, 1946), Andres R. Narvasa (2nd, 1951) and Artemio V. Panganiban (6th, 1960). Notably, the first three lady Supreme Court justices rated No. 1: Cecilia Muñoz-Palma (1937), Ameurfina A. Melencio-Herrera (1947) and Carolina Griño-Aquino (1950).
Retired Supreme Court members who figured in the top 10 were: Mariano H. de Joya (1st, 1907), Antonio Villareal (1st, 1909), Jose Hontiveros (1911), Jose P. Laurel (2nd, 1915), Alejo Labrador (1st, 1918), J.B.L. Reyes (6th, 1922), Conrado Sanchez (3rd, 1923), Julio Villamor (6th, 1926), Calixto Zaldivar (3rd, 1928), Estanislao Fernandez (4th, 1933), Pacifico P. de Castro (2nd, 1939), Lino M. Patajo (7th, 1939), Guillermo Santos (5th, 1944), Buenaventura de la Fuente (5th, 1947), Irene R. Cortez (9th, 1948), Jose C. Campos Jr. (5th, 1949), Isagani A. Cruz (8th, 1951), Florentino P. Feliciano (6th, 1952), and Florenz D. Regalado (1st, 1954), who obtained the highest grade in bar history at 96.7 percent.
Other notable placers (former presidents, vice presidents, Senate presidents and speakers) were Manuel Roxas (1st, 1913), Carlos P. Garcia (6th, 1923), Eugenio Perez (1st, 1926), Arturo M. Tolentino (2nd, 1934), Diosdado Macapagal (1st, 1936), Emmanuel Pelaez (1st, 1938), Ferdinand E. Marcos (1st, 1939), Jovito R. Salonga (tied 1st with Jose W. Diokno, 1944), Neptali A. Gonzales (9th, 1949), Ernesto M. Maceda (10th, 1956) and Franklin M. Drilon (3rd, 1969).
Where are some schools in the top 20? Sorry for that.

Soar high Sintang Paaralan! Go PUP!
Pamantasang Utak ang Puhunan!
You know few things that make us a proud PUPan:
1) We may not be from high paying institutions, with the P12 per unit, no tuition fee hike in two decades and counting, the lowest in the country, we still manage to keep the zeal of academic excellence burning. We have the right determination and firmness of purpose. We don’t buy our education. We’re home to scholars and achievers;
2) despite the poor facilities due to budget denial of the state, still we excel and prove that we are worthy of the taxpayers’ subsidy as TUNAY NA ISKOLAR NG BAYAN!;
3) we carry with us the responsibility of rebuilding the nation. We understand the social illness and give our modest part in solving it, we are vigilant with social issues. we care for the nation. We don’t just consider that we are ahead of others, we care to help others;
4) we have the true brand of nationalism cause we’re exposed with the right social background, we came from the masses;
5) above all, we are humble yet great! we don’t brag whatsoever. We know where we are, our capabilities, and the role we are playing.
These are just few things that run in our blood!
Mabuhay ang mga Tunay na Iskolar ng Bayan!
PUP Tanglaw ng Bayan!
Cheers to the top 20 Philippine Universities!
It’s time to unite! Can you imagine how far we could go with the fusion of great minds from this top universities!
All the best!
February 22, 2009 at 11:01 pm
This is an interesting post. Most of the schools mentioned here are really deserving to be in the top 20.
I agree with one commenter that these schools are not created equal. So we have provided a poll in our website where we Pinoys can vote as to which is the best school for them and which schools should be in the top 20.
February 25, 2009 at 1:32 pm
i think la salle should be on the top 1!!!
it deserves the highest rank coz they are not only intelligent they have also values that other universities dont have!!!
no doubt!!
you can easily identify who are the lasallians!!!
February 27, 2009 at 8:44 pm
To be listed in the top schools in the philippines does not necessarily mean you have to excell only in law or bar exams. It would be unfair to other institutions if the basis for the selection will only be confined to law. However, I wish to congratulate the law schools whether in the list or not for the effort. Since the government knows exactly which schools are best and worst then, what actions will the prc and ched recommend to those least performing schools? Is the government willing to help those at the bottom end by providing assistance? Or, are these agencies have the power to close or give such institution a time table to improve?
The government must prepare a plan to push the owners to improve the quality of instruction so that would be enrollees will receive the quality education everybody is aspiring for. Other wise, these institutions will be forever in the bottom list and students at large will suffer. The survey or study prepared by the governmet will be useless if no related solution will be implemented to correct low performance or rating.
Also, are these agencies who are supposed to monitor the performance of each schools implementing the law before an institution can open or offer new courses? Otherwise, if prc and ched are not implementing the regulations then they too are part of the system and therefore partly to be blamed for the low performance of said schools.
Yes, I agree that ched are giving autonomous status to top performing schools but what are the steps done to correct the status of those not performing well in the government exams? It should be a two approach
by helping those at the tail end , after all it is the thrust of the DepEd and Ched to give quality education to all.
Lastly, I’m just lucky enough that my school was included in the top performing schools in the phil ” SLU “

DLSU puro yabang and I can attest to that.
There was this instance na may game ang UST at DLSU. Nung nasa gateway kami, may group of la sallians na dumaan. Then there was this girl na nagparining ng “EWWW UST.” Hindi ko alam kung paano magrereact so tumahimik na lang ako. Ang point ko lang, hindi naman kasi kailangan magyabang. Dapat patunayan yun. We are where we are because we ought to be there. I may be in UST but the girl who insulted my alma mater doesn’t know that I passed the UPCAT. She doesn’t know that I am in the UST-College of Nursing wherein may cut-off na dos bago makapag-second year at bawal ang kahit isang unit ng bagsak unlike in DLSU, kahit bumagsak ka, uulitin mo lang or tatawid ka ng Benilde. She doesn’t know that when I was in 4th year highschool, I had a girlfriend na 1st year sa DLSU na pinapagawa sa akin ang paperwork nya and guess what, my articles were always chosen by her professors. take note, I was in 4th year HS.
This post may have traces of bitterness and belligerence but the main point of this article is to expose this girl’s folly. School pride is good when it molds the students into humble and well-rounded individuals. It is a poison when it disrupts judgment and promotes arrogance.
Being the best isn’t achieved by stating things that would elevate one’s self to a self-created pedestal. It is neither achieved by having expensive and state-of-the-art facilities. It is achieved by working hard in the silence of one’s heart while staying anchored to the bosom of the earth.
BITTER? hahahaha
April 29, 2009 at 4:51 pm

many of the universities now are competing if who will be on the top of the list, undeniably, it only goes into an unhealthy competition… FAME, PRESTIGE, HONOR and all!!!Are these enough in looking after for an almost admired school?Or even the benefit that we can get from it?But remember my fellows, it doesn’t matter of what school you came from, the only only thing that matters is that how it shapes you as a better human.
Be proud where you are now…whether your school belongs to the list of highly recognized or not!!!!Remember to be contented and you’ll be recognized in your own…

UP students are always stating this cliche: “100 years of excellence vs. 400 years of existence” eto lang masasabi ko,
yeah right we’ve existed for 4oo years pero naisip niyo ba na kahit 400 years ng ang UST most of it’s programs ay nagstart lang noong 1900’s
na halos nagkasabaysabay lang.?
perhaps you were sleeping when your history teachers is lecturing about this
the first programs that UST offered were theology and philosophy-1611- course para makapag pari
1733- canon law–laws ng church
(programs offered para makapag-pari)
——————————————–
1871- faculty of medicine/pharmacy
1907- faculty of eng’g
**the rest follows
eh sa Up
1908 courses offered:
-fine arts, liberal arts and medicine
**the rest follows
—-lumamang man ang UST, pero ilang taon lang, saka mas ok pa na sabihin nio yang cliche na yan if UP is offering theology, philosophy and canon law kaso hindi..
—-saka mas ok na sabihin nio yan if all the programs which UST is offering all started on 1611 kaso hindi din eh.
kaya sana wag mang away!..
400 and 150 years of nothing? haha
you made me laugh…

Okay!!!! Enough with these school wars netizens!!!! All we can do now is just to keep ourselves preserved and not be consumed with belting out our institutional ego…. It has not done good to any one of us here so if your school has not made it to the list FORGET, IGNORE THE LIST!!! Five-year study lang yan…. Soon enough..I mean within these years or after that changes will happen. In this world nothing is constant but change. GO IIT!!!GO USEP!hehehe toink!
May 4, 2009 at 10:09 am
i know, and i think everybody would agree that msu-iit is doing really great. however, stundents of iit should not brag nor hallucinate that they’re the best school in mindanao because that isn’t right. COme on! if we talk about employment and other stuff, xu is still a lot better. Jesuit education is always the best and XU has helped build MIndanao all throughout its existence. And yes, even if we talk about rankings, XU still soars higher and farther!
May 4, 2009 at 11:16 am
fr. saturnino urios university is not a big university but it has consistent passers in the different board and bar exams kaya no. 14 tau sa top 20 , di tau nazezero, nobody can argue that record. dito sa butuan city at buong caraga region, FSUU is the best. regards pala to atty. rey salve , a councilor of tagum city, hes a product of FSUU,

As I browse this thread, there are some people who were questioning why UST is at sthe second place of the rankings.
Just so you know, UST has lots of courses that needs licensure examinations compared to AdMU at DLSU.
(no need to take board exams for liberal arts at business course just so you know)
Yah, its true, UST is not the best university in the country BUT still one of the best.
The ranking is not surprising to see since I always see UST graduates in the top ten of various board exam results.
As PRC said, UST has produced the most number of board passers in 2008.
I just do hope that when questioning things, do your research first.
Last year,
University of Santo Tomas,
Ateneo de Manila University and

Instead of doing school bashing, let us face the reality of REAL status of our education system
Did you know that, the Philippines has the record of having the most number of higher education institutions in Asia according to Forbes Asia.
And Yet, only four were being recognized internationally.
Even Times Higher Education Supplement (the people behind the Top 500 world’s best universities) said that what is lacking in Philippine universities is that our higher learning institutions are not research oriented.
Most universities in the western world are actively inclined in research.
Harvard University, US
Massachussetts Institute of Technology, US
University of Oxford, UK
University of Cambridge, UK
is cited as the world’s premiere research universities.
Here in the Philippines, universities are text book based.
A UP professor said that research is what’s lacking in our universities. Local professors doesn’t invest time on research.
As of today, only
University of the Philippines
Ateneo de Manila University
University of Santo Tomas
De La Salle University- Manila
Silliman University
University of San Carlos
is gearing up re established themselves as “research university”
One more thing,

Article from Varsitarian
(UST’s official student publication)
UST is best-performing private university
By Andrewly A. Agaton and Prinz P. Magtulis
WITH AGE comes wisdom – and a good academic reputation.
But aside from the the 100-year-old University of the Philippines and the 397-year-old University of Sto. Tomas which have consistently stamped their class as the top two higher education institutions in the country with a rich history of academic excellence, there are also other universities in the far off provinces that deserve a second look as far as performing well in various licensure exams is concerned.
Statistics from Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) in 2005 showed that Mariano Marcos State University in Batac, Ilocos Norte was the leading school in Region I, acing seven of 13 licensure exams, the highest of which was the 89-percent passing rate in Electrical Engineering. In all, it registered an average passing rate of 58 percent in 13 examinations that it participated in.
Mindanao State University (MSU)-Iligan Institute of Technology, MSU-General Santos, Bicol University-Legazpi, and MSU-Marawi followed suit with 57, 52, 49, and 47 percent overall passing rates.
Among private institutions, Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro, followed UST, with a batting average of 70 percent in 11 licensure exams. Its board exam result for agricultural engineers was the highest at 86 percent.
The other private universities that registered good ratings were Silliman University, Saint Louis University, Ateneo de Davao University, and Central Philippine University, which had an average passing rate of 66, 65, 62, and 60 percent, respectively.
The common denominator is that these schools have a long tradition of research, faculty development, and educational, rather than commercial pursuits.
Government versus private
The PRC acknowledged UST as the top performer among private schools nationwide, tallying an 80-percent overall passing average and recording 14 high passing rates in 19 licensure exams.
However, UST’s passing rate fell a few notches short to that of state-run UP, with passing rates from eight campuses delivering an 85.3-percent overall passing rate, enough to be hailed as the best performing higher education institution in the country.
Three UP campuses – in Diliman, Los Baños, and in Manila – were also named by PRC as the top three government schools in terms of performance in board exams. The three all posted perfect scores on a number of licensure examinations.
UP students produce good results in licensure examinations because of the demanding academic requirements of the university, UP-Diliman Registrar Pamela Constantino said.
“Because of the usual students’ strenuous academic life in here, they are already being trained to be hardworking people,” Constantino said.
The former Commission on Higher Education (Ched) chairman, UST Rector Fr. Rolando de la Rosa, O.P., noted that the University has maintained its high stature considering the large number of UST examinees every year.
“Usually, UST is the highest in the rank of 100 and above examinees,” De la Rosa said. “For instance, medicine performs well because there are almost 500 examinees and most of them pass.”
In 2005, 456 Thomasians took the licensure examination for physicians and 384 passed, leaving UST with a passing rate of 84 percent. The University also produced 386 professional nurses out of the 411 examinees, with a 94 percent passing rate in the same year.
UST produced a total of 2,409 new professionals that same year, much higher than the 1,979 professionals coming from the three leading UP campuses.
For the first three months of academic year 2008-2009, UST has already produced five top notchers in different licensure exams.
Figures from the PRC showed UST topping board exams in architecture, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, and pharmacy with 68, 98, 84, 98, and 83 percent passing rates, respectively.
But despite the remarkable performance of Thomasians in the board exams, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Clarita Carillo believes “dominating” the exams is not enough.
“We are performing well, but we can always do better,” Carillo told the Varsitarian

Autonomy and Deregulation
In an effort to rationalize its supervision of institutions of higher learning, CHED has also prescribed guidelines for granting privileges of autonomy and deregulation to certain schools. According to the guidelines, the general criteria examined by CHED are an institution’s “long tradition of integrity and untarnished reputation,” “commitment to excellence,” and “sustainability and viability of operations.”
Autonomous status
Autonomous status allows universities to design their own curricula, offer new programs and put up branches or satellite campuses without having to secure permits, confer honorary degrees, and carry out operations without much interference from CHED. Aside from all host state colleges and universities and other chartered public universities, such as the University of the Philippines, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, and Mindanao State University, a number of private schools have also been granted autonomous status. These include the following:
5 years, 15 November 2007 to 14 November 2012
Assumption College
Ateneo de Davao University
Ateneo de Manila University
Centro Escolar University
De La Salle University
Miriam College
St. Joseph’s College of Quezon City
Saint Louis University,Baguio City
University of St. Louis,Tuguegarao City
University of Santo Tomas
1 year, 15 November 2007 to 14 November 2008
Ateneo de Zamboanga University
Baliuag University
Central Philippine University
Holy Name University
San Beda College
Silliman University
St. Paul University Manila
St. Paul University Dumaguete
St. Scholastica’s College
University of San Carlos
University of San Jose-Recoletos
University of St. La Salle
Deregulated status
Deregulated status enjoy the same privilege as autonomy except that they must still secure permits for new programs and campuses.
The following schools have been granted deregulated status:
5 years, 15 November 2007 to 14 November 2012
Ateneo de Naga University
Jose Rizal University
1 year, 15 November 2007 to 14 November 2008
Adamson University
Far Eastern University
Manuel S. Enverga University
Notre Dame University
St. Mary’s University
Universidad de Sta. Isabel
University of Baguio
University of the Cordilleras
University of the East
University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos
This March 2009 until 2014
A 5 year Autonomous status was given to:
Silliman University
De La Salle Dasmarinas
University of San Jose – Recoletos
University of San Agustin – Ilo Ilo (I think)

This article caught my attention, read carefully
(source:http://filipinovoices.com/what-is-terribly-wrong-with-the-university-of-the-philippines,
Written on Saturday, September 27th, 2008 at 11:22 am | by blackshama)
“The 100th year of the University of the Philippines is a time for a series of big parties, oblation runs, centennial lectures, a Big Dome Alumni homecoming, several theatrical extravaganzas and of course the Mother of all Lantern Parades to close the year.
Not even a typhoon could stop the Alumni homecoming. But the only lowdown could be that UP once more failed to make it to the final four of the UAAP basketball tourney (Ateneo won!). Oh well we can look forward to the bicentennial for that.
At the risk of being called as the centennial party pooper, I will have to dish out criticisms not of my own but that of an American professor that the UP invited to do a critique in 1947. The destructive war just behind it, UP under President Bienvenido Gonzales invited Professor Harley Harris Bartlett of the University of Michigan to critique the university, its priorities and the state of higher education in the Philippines. Bartlett an eminent botanist and Southeast Asian scholar; in his convocation address to the university, identified key areas that UP should focus, namely research and strengthening graduate programs . Bartlett believed that by doing so, the Philippines can kick start its development by laying the foundations of what we now call a “knowledge based economy”. Bartlett wanted a university that cuts across academic disciplines or what we now call as “interdisciplinarity”. Bartlett also envisioned a more international university.
Bartlett noted problems that have bedeviled UP since 1908 and up to the present. He noted that UP was losing its best profs, the low professors’ salaries, its obsession with increased state subsidy, Malacanang’s meddling in the Board of Regents, its ungrateful alumni (who refuse to give generously), abuse of academic freedom, and of course, the lack of a research culture. Bartlett’s prescription was like that of corporate restructuring; make UP competitive, make sure the best profs stay and kick out the mediocre ones, get external funds, focus on science and technology, improve graduate programs and make the university more autonomous.
Bartlett didn’t say it but from the context of the speech he really means to have a new UP charter. Even in 1947, the 1908 charter was oudated. If Bartlett were alive in 2008, he would wonder how come it took UP 61 years to have a new one.
Bartlett’s criticisms were respectfully taken but largely were not acted upon. The Philippines was a prostrate nation and America exacted onerous conditions for aid. UP was cash strapped.It is understandable why UP started to lag behind US and European universities at this time.
The professor’s critique is significant since UP’s weaknesses is also the weakness of Philippine higher education. Bartlett was livid in his critcism of the Bureau of Higher Education (the grandaddy of CHED) for giving university status to “diploma mills” that sprouted after the war. These private universities were given substantial autonomy and they did pirate many UP profs. Many of these “universities” offered only law programs and Bartlett was aghast that as a result, the Philippines would have an oversupply of lawyers. This would be a tragedy for the nation. If the nation were to succeed, Bartlett wanted an oversupply of scientists, engineers and good teachers.
These diploma mills were unlike Santo Tomas, Ateneo de Manila, De La Salle and Silliman. These schools had good reputations as teaching colleges. Bartlett believed that they didn’t compete with UP but helped UP in its work. (How about that? Schools don’t compete but collaborate! Ateneo helps De La Salle and vice versa!)
Bartlett then throws Filipinos the question. What is the value of the University of the Philippines to your nation?
The fortunes of the Republic is mirrored in the fortunes of UP. And in this centennial year, it doesn’t look good. Bartlett writes that UP is really a barometer of our people’s committment to democratic ideals. That the elite fails to give generously to UP (and public education) really betrays their lack of faith in these ideals. Public education then as now is the best way for people to lift themselves out of poverty. It is the best way of empowerment. But Bartlett predicted that this won’t happen. He predicted the spiralling cost of fees as education became a profitable business. And in its centennial year, UP is guilty too. I have known students (kids of government employees of SSL grades 15 and below) who have to drop out since they can’t fork out the 21K a sem fees.
Thus we have the anomaly that the people have private education as a first option (even if they have little means) then public if there isn’t any choice.
As for the teaching problem, Bartlett noted the anomaly that there were few assistant professors since many of them left UP. Today there are departments with one or two assistant professors and a lot of senior tenured professors (and a lot of instructors who have no postgraduate qualifications). These top (or bottom) heavy departments (and they are many of them in all of UP’s constituent campuses) with their frustrating politics tend to drive the juniors out of the campuses. This reduces the university’s competitiveness since it is the junior professors that churn out the best research and most innovative teaching.
The College of Science in Diliman is one of the few exceptions. Its professoriate is composed of all PhDs many of which are world class in their fields. The junior to senior professor ratio is respectable. The college is not exempt from the problem of attracting newly minted and young PhDs. The PhDs that were sent overseas in the 1980s and returned are now in mid-career as associate professors and professors. In 10 to 20 years we could expect some if not many to seek early retirement. Thus there is a need to attract young PhDs to the faculty. The science professors are experts in their fields but many fields have only one or two PhDs. We need teams of experts if we want to launch the Philippines into a science and knowledge based economy as Ateneo’s Father Nebres pointed out in his centennial lecture.
Despite these signs of progress which are uneven. UP has difficulty attracting new and young PhDs to staff its colleges as assistant professors. In some cases, a department in one UP campus has no choice but to “poach” a professor from another UP campus where the politics has become unbearable. This shows the dire straits the university is in. Also academic freedom has been abused and even Bartlett noticed this. Academic freedom has been made an excuse for lousy teaching and research. In his centennial lecture, Randy David defined the real sense of academic freedom and this includes profs showing up for class prepared!
UP may have to address its own way of doing things and its structure. It has to institute reforms to make the university competitive and in an academic community with petrified ideologies, we can expect that this would be met with strong resistance. I believe that the kind of nationalism that pervades the UP ethos is retrogressive. The idea of the university never limited itself to a certain class or nationality despite the sectarian origin of universities. Universities are meant for all who qualify for admission. If UP wants to be a University for Filipinos, it has to be a university for all, even non-Filipinos.
Reforming and reorienting UP may take a decade or even hundred years. The 2008 Charter gives the opportunity and the difficulty. President Emerlinda Roman, I believe is keenly aware of these. The work does not end with the centennial year and Roman’s term, it will continue with her successors. Thus we have to pay tribute to UP’s American founding presidents, Murray Bartlett, and Guy Potter Benton, and also to its first Filipino president, Ignacio Villamor. These gentlemen faced gargantuan challenges which are essentially what Emerlinda Roman faces today.
The UP needs a real peer review. It has invited its outstanding alums and academics from other Philippine universities to give their critique like what Ateneo’s president did. But we have to remember that what ails the UP in many ways ails other universities. That’s why I believe we have to take seriously the international university ratings where UP never got into the top 100. While the methodology of these surveys isn’t perfect, it reflects to a large extent how competitive the university is.
When Bartlett gave his lecture, the Republic was young and even when faced with the ravages of war, it had optimism. Will the celebrations of the centennial provide the optimism that matters, or is this ephemeral?
Also can the UP still have the sense and objectivity to invite an American professor to give it peer review

Email this | Email the Editor | Print | ShareThisMANILA, Philippines – Four Philippine schools have made it to the Top 200 Asian Universities list of the Quacquarelli Symonds Ltd. (QS.com) for 2009.
Leading the Philippine schools was the University of the Philippines (UP), which shared No. 63 spot with Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee of India, Osaka City University of Japan and Universitas Gadjah Mada of Indonesia.
De La Salle University (DLSU) was 76th, Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) was 84th, while the University of Santo Tomas (UST) shared 144th spot with Nanjing Agricultural University of China.
Japan had the most number of schools in the list at 58, including 10 in the top 20 ranks.
South Korea was next with 46 universities, of which three were in the top 20, while China had 39, including two in the top 20.
Taiwan had 15; India, 11; Thailand and Indonesia had 8 each; and Malaysia, 6.
Hong Kong also had only six, but four were in the top 20, three of which occupied the 1st, 2nd and 4th slots.
Singapore had only two universities in the list, but both were in the top 20 slots.
Occupying the Top 10 slots were:
1. University of Hong Kong;
2. Chinese University of Hong Kong;
3. University of Tokyo (Japan);
4. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HK);
5. Kyoto University (Japan);
6. Osaka University (Japan);
7. KAIST – Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (South Korea);
8. Seoul National University, South Korea;
9. Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan);
10. National University of Singapore (NUS) Singapore and Peking University (China).
For the complete list, check http://www.qs.com.
Results of the first QS.com survey was officially released on Tuesday.
Managing Director Nunzio Quacquarelli said the results of the Asian University Rankings focus on regionally relevant measures of excellence, with the top performing universities distinguished not only by quality, but also by high productivity of research, compared to their regional peers.
While the Philippine universities were way below the rankings, QS Managing Director Nunzio Quacquarelli had this to say: “Philippines universities have performed well, with high recruiter review scores. These results make study in the Philippines an attractive option for international students studying abroad,”
Quacquarelli said QS based the first ever top Asian universities list on regionally relevant measures of excellence, selecting schools noted not only for quality, but also for high research productivity compared to the institution’s regional peers.
The ranking of Asian universities used to be done yearly by Asiaweek, a Hong Kong-based English newsmagazine, which folded up in December 2001 due to a downturn in advertising revenues.
Subject rankings
When it came to the 2009 Asian university subject rankings, University of the Philippines (UP) rose to the 12th spot under Arts and Humanities, while ADMU, DSLU, and UST got the 19th, 44th, and 55th slots respectively.
Under Life Sciences and Biomedicine, UP was 47th, ADMU was 52nd, DSLU was 79th, and UST was 85th.
The Social Sciences list placed UP as 22nd, ADMU as 28th, DSLU as 51st, and UST as 75th.
In subjects under Information Technology & Engineering, UP ranked 63rd, ADMU was 64th, and DSLU was 79th.
Under Natural Sciences, ADMU took the 24th spot, UP got the 32nd, UST got the 94th, while DSLU placed 97th.
The THE-QS 2008 world’s top 500 universities rankings had raised eyebrows when ADMU overran other Philippine schools in the top 500 list by rising from somewhere between 401st and 500th in 2007 to 254th, edging out UP which ranked 398th in 2007 and fell to 276th the next year.
DLSU and UST ranked 415th and 470th respectively.
UP officials earlier doubted the survey’s credibility, since the organizers refused to disclose where it acquired the data used, thus making the methodology “problematic.”
Officials also revealed the “business side” of the survey where QS sold its various services to help universities improve rankings.
On the other hand, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) refused to comment on the rankings, pointing out that Chairman Emmanuel Angeles, who also presides over the UP Board of Regents, was out of the country.
QS research chief Ben Sowter said “the advantage of regional rankings is in the richer picture we can create when comparing universities at a regional rather than global level, through the inclusion of additional factors.”
Sowter added that the shift to a regional focus proved to be significant, “The position of institutions in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore was to be expected, but the stronger performance of South Korean institutions in contrast to the world rankings suggests a strength known in the region that has yet to be fully acknowledged globally.”
QS.com, which conducted the Times Higher Education-QS University Rankings, is the world’s leading information specialist in the higher education sector. – GMANews.TV

buti na lang hindi kkasama sa ranking ang school facilities…….kung hindi…….
May 17, 2009 at 3:13 am
Kaya kaonti ang nagboboard exam galing sa UP ay dahil onti lang din ang gumagraduate. Mahirap kasi ang “screening” dun, kaya magagaling na talaga ang gumagraduate sa UP. Pansinin niyo sa board exam, onti lang, 90+ % pa, at puro nasa top, kaya hindi dahilan na kaya mataas ang passing rate ay dahil konti lang ang nageexam. Compare niyo kaya sa ibang school, minsan nga mas marami pang nageexam galing sa UP mas mataas pa ang passing rate, puro topnotchers pa..
May 19, 2009 at 10:31 pm
It’s not all about the ranking but rather how a school moulds it’s students to be the best after leaving the institution. PRC board exams only represent few subject areas and DOES NOT show the whole capacity of a certain graduate.
In the actual field, what’s important is the attitude of each individual because it will naturally show up to what depth his school had influenced his ideas, how he can cope with what’s hot and what’s not, and how he can deal with people from all walks of life. Sure thing though, we are all proud of our Alma mater but the real question is, are you making her proud of you?

HELLO Philippines is right.
Make your school or alma mater proud of you.
I’m very much sure that ALL SCHOOLS doesn’t teach their students to degrade other people.
whether it is a public/private/sectarian/non-sectarian institutions.

Well, the survey only shows that Imperial Manila has already lost it status as the center of excellence. It has really detoriated na pati ang educational system is also affected. It is now only catering to most students coming from the provinces around it unlike 20 years ago when everybody around the archipelago wants to study in the NCR. All the NCR graduates in the past two decades have come home to their own regions to built their own niche. And for the Davao Jesuits, go blue knights! Padayon sa paglambo! Tinuhog na nila ang Blue Eagle. Hehehehe

central philippine university is good in engineering also with consistent 100 percent passing rate in ECE board exams.
western institute of technology is the mapua of western visayas.
univ. of the phils. in the visayas in miag ao being the center of the u.p. system in the whole of visayas of which u.p. cebu is just an extension campus is very good in accountancy and in fisheries.
no wonder why yahoo finance recently ranked iloilo city as one of the next wave of BPO cities worldwide because the educational standard here is exceptional and globally competitive with english language as the strenght.

for the record, UC produced the two topnotchers (ist place) in the sanitary engineering in the March and September 2008 board examinations. Likewise, Ist place in the criminology board examination with the highest passing percentage for the 24rth time. Palagay ko, no schools have done the same even in any field with board examination. 375 pesos nga lang per unit tuition dito. Even without the rigid screening (unlike SLU) in the nursing and other courses, UC was ranked 5th overall in the category of more than 500 examinees (nursing) coupled with 2nd place in the may 2008 CPA board. E? what more we can ask with a university with a less than a hectare lot area?Kung malaki nga lang sana compound niyan, it might have a bigger population than SLU. One evidence why UC is really a good school, ung 2 bar topnotchers nila ay parehiong CPA graduate ng SLU. They took their law at UC not from their alma mater. And they are doing injustice sa UC at bakit ipinalit Urios University sa tutoong PRC at CHED ranking? hehe , kaduda duda naman yata, e , kitang kita naman ung board examination results where UC got those toipnotchers, a ang Urios me top ba in 2008 Siyanga pala, tama iba comment diyan, me nacontribute ba kayo sa school niyo to make it a performer, ako, meron, andito ako sa professor ng adamson, naging faculty coordinator ako dati ng community college, director ng student affairs, at author ng mga textbooks.

…..why msc is not there…!
September 2, 2009 at 9:51 am
Naturally, UP is number 1 because their examinees are very miniamal. But if you based on which school produces more passers, i doubt if UP would still be on top. Ateneo is still the best. Try to check on “top universities in the world” Ateneo has ranked higher than UP. This research was conducted by most trusted professors / researchers in the world. Thus, this is of no bias. Purely factual.

September 13, 2009 at 10:35 pm
well for me, every university has its own forte why are we fighting for the top spot? we really cannot say who’s the best because there are a lot of brilliant students but they are not given the chance to go to other schools because of some factors. being in a top school will not make you famous or great. what we should do is to study hard to uplift the crisis in our economy. studying in a great could be a big factor especially for job applications but what the companies here are looking are the skills and dedication of each employees….

The school rankings by CHED & PRC is a good reference for less fortunate Filipinos who can’t afford to study in the best universities of Metro Manila. If you are in Mindanao, you can choose from among the 7 top performing schools. In the Visayas you can also choose between San Carlos & Silliman. Nevertheless, there are other schools who are better than all these schools. For the seafarers, Iloilo has JB Lacson Maritime University, the only Maritime university in the country. St.Paul of Iloilo and of Dumaguete are excellent in Nursing (100%passing rate). UC & CIT of Cebu is good in Engineering. Cebu Institute of Medicine is the best medical school in the south. For the poor but deserving students in the MINSUPALA region, the MSU system could offer a lot. Nursing costs only 9,000 pesos per semester and they are among the top 10 nursing schools in the country. Their College of Medicine, whose tuition fee in the 90’s is as low as 1000 pesos. has 80% to 90% passing rate. The MSU main campus are giving full, partial., free tuition fee scholarship status and many students are receiving monthly stipends besides free books and dormitories. That is why because of the incentive, MSU Main & MSU Naawan, MSUTawi-tawi are good in fisheries. MSU General Santos and MSU Maguindanao is good in agriculture. MSU Main, MSU IIT and MSU Gensan are excellent schools for engineering & education. If in doubt, you can browse the internet for previous results. Not only these, high school students who came from MSU IIT, MSU main, MSU Gen San competed with other best high schools in the country and finished their courses as magna cum laudes & cum laudes for UP, Ateneo de Manila, De Lasalle and UST, just to mention a few. Well, learning knows no boundaries and transcends gender bias as well as geographic, social, cultural and sectoral barriers. To attest this Maranaos and other minorities have also excelled in board exams. The 2nd placer in the recent bar exam is a maranao woman. We can’t say that you are “bobo” because you are of from poor ethnic minority background and either from the Visayas or Mindanao. In fact poverty is not a reason we could not finish college. For all we don’t know, the goverment whom we criticize with no end and rallied against is doing a lot to improve our status through education. Summing up all these things, the ranking just showed that we need not gripe or resort to selling vast of our properties just to send our children to UST, Ateneo or De Lasalle. Above all our attitude determines our altitude. If you are diligent in your studies and industrious worker, you will attain greater heights.
Let us endeavour more and dream higher for the sake of loving this country. Avoid bickerings and supressing competition as these could not achieve either godly or noble purpose. Maybe, it is one of the reason why we lagged behind with other developing countries in Asia like India, China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. In fact China & India have already send their satellites to the moon. Tata of India had produced the Nano (cheapest car) and Malaysia had produced a proton car while we vouch on our ingenuity making jeepneys which nobody from abroad dared to buy. We are proud of Dr. Ed San Juan and Mr. Banatao, but how many are like them from the 92 milion Filipinos. We still have a lot of work to do and improve this country. We need to solve our dependency on petroleum products as source of energy. We have to make solutions for the peace and order situation of our country. Criminality, lawlesness and poverty are the biggest problem our country is facing today. There are a lot more and to enumerate them is so taxing. How can we reason? Where are the bar and board topnotchers? What are the mentally gifted people doing? What are those popular and intellectual senators doing? Look at the irony, if not for the number of lowly and average OFW’s, our country will be in an irreversible recession. Let us think about this.

how I wish SLU will include in the list of professors German engineers, who are MS/PHD in their choosen careers just like what they did in the late 70’s and early 80’s where exchaged professors from Germany handled electronics subject to tranfer
and enlightened filipino students with new technologies and usage of advanced equipment and prepare SLU at that time for the new course electronics engineering. The effect was very encouraging because SLU produced topnotchers and one the institutions that is included in the list of best performing schools not only in electronics but also ece.
To SLU, keep it up. God bless
October 5, 2009 at 11:50 pm
correction, the letter “s” was missing in the word “transfer”.
Any way, congratulations Saint Louis University – Baguio City

Does anyone have a more up-to-date data regarding this school ranking?
My personal viewpoint is that it’s worthless to compare schools by just the AVE board exam performance. Some schools offer more courses than the others, so I think it’s not a fair comparison.
October 25, 2009 at 2:01 am
uhm i am going to take up medicine at parang hindi ko n kayang i-afford pa ung med ng slu, which is my alma mater, kaya iniisip kong mag western visayas university… pero ng mabasa ko ito, parang gusto ko na ulit magbalik louisian…pero gusto ko din talagang i-try ang iba… especially now na am aftering the scholarships…first choice ko plm pero me back subjects daw xe ang mga nursing kaya hindi ko na tinuloy… hahy, lalu tuloy akong nahrapan sa pagpili….. btw, sa mga nagmamaliit sa ub, pines, uc at bcu, wag nman ganyan, xe nag-eexcel nman sila sa iba…wag magpaka bad…louisian arrogance nga nman…hehehe…. sapientia aedificat!
October 28, 2009 at 9:17 am
I am a mathematician and I just have a few observations on the different sets of data supposedly extracted from well recognized agencies. The first report covers a period of 10 years while the second report covers a period of 5 years. Though the second report is based on more recent results, I don’t think it’s safe to say that the second one supersedes the previous one considering that the second only covers a period of 5 years. Basic rules of statistics mandate that for a subsequent set of data to supersede a previous one, the same criteria must be applied. In the present case however, the second one is predicated on a different set of criteria -e.g. covering only a period of 5 years. Assuming that both the first and second reports are genuine, I would say that the second one, as of now, will not be able to supersede the previous one unless the second report is based on data collected over a period of 10 years. We will therefore have to wait for the proper time to have another report released. Maybe 2 or 3 years from now. This is not to totally disregard the second report though. The second report can be a good indicator on the current trend. But then again, it’s not safe to immediately say that it supersedes the previous one. Things could change in terms of trend in the next couple of years. We will then have to wait for the next 10th year report. I hope this commentary is objective enough, considering the current confusion plaguing this forum. Just sharing a piece of my mind. Cheers!
October 30, 2009 at 12:34 am
Bisglish: “Agree ko nimo brad”. Taglish: “Agree ako sa’yo brad”. English: “Will have to agree with you bro”.hehe….
Anyway, let’s not be too shaky on this one. There are lots of good schools in the Philippines and there could be one near you. If you’re in Central Luzon, you can have SLU, or the other good schools there. If you’re in Manila, well you already know what the good schools are.hehe… so you just take your pic. If you’re in the Visayas, you can have USC or Silliman University depending on where you’re located. If you’re in Mindanao, well, you can always choose between Ateneo de Davao, Xavier University or MSU-IIT. Just take your pic.
Each school is peculiar though, so you can’t just depend on generalities. There are schools that are good on this field, and there are some that are better on another field. A good indicator would be the level of accreditation that the program has been given, e.g. Level I, II, III, IV. But a Level I does not mean that it’s not good. The moment a program is given accreditation status, then it means that program has passed the test on quality. If it’s a CHED Center of Development, even if its on Level I, that would even be better. My advice, is, if you’re looking for a good school for the “kind” of course you’d like to take, select the one with a good “program-based” accreditation.
Finally, don’t rely only on accreditation, you have to remember that ultimately it will be you who determines your future. NO MATTER what school you are in, if you don’t work hard, you’d still not make it.
October 30, 2009 at 3:22 am
the ranking presented was extracted from the files of PRC and Ched. however, it does not follow that once your school is included in the list is already a license to discredit other institution after all we studied because we wanted to be educated and being educated we must be civil mannered in what we say or write so as not to create hatred and animosity to everybody. The truth is, there has to be no. 1 and no.2 and so forth and so on. It so happens that (maybe) the school where we came from made it in the list, it means well and good and even congratulations for the accomplishment. However, to boast and use deregatory language to other school is foul and shows immaturity and lack of good manners. The school is a part of breeding ground on how far we have accumulated good behavior outside from home, nevertheless, because of inappropriate acts that is manifested on how we talk and write then we can say that indeed even our parents failed in their pursuit to mold us as good citizens of this country. It is very unfortunate that we, who were given the chance to further our studies and use it to the fullest are the one’s acting like we were never educated, and up to this point in time never left behind that crab mentality. What a pity that even a list will be a source of discord and division on a supposed to be united country like philippines.
Again to the top performing schools, congratulations and to those whose schools didnt make it in the list keep improving for the students welfare.
