Here’s something to make your day a little brighter. U.P. (University of the Philippines) made it to Times Higher Education Supplement-Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS) Top Universities in the World. We are 299th in the world, 47th in Asia, 10th in Southeast Asia and the best in the country. But then again, as an old colleague of mine said, during her college years, UP was 23rd globally (not sure if this is true, though). Anyway, also in the list are Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU), De La Salle University (DLSU), and University of Santo Tomas (UST). I wonder why Silliman University is not in the list when I’ve been hearing stuff saying Silliman is already next to UP in the local rankings. Hmmm…. Perhaps the group who conducted this study did not take a look at and into Silliman.
Here’s the summary of the list.*

sabi nila mas magaling ang ateneo kesa la salle..anlayo ata sa katotohanan…galing naman ng ust.hihi..sumabit di ba?
oo naman, mas magaling ang ateneo sa la salle. syempre may bias ako, nag-aral kasi ako sa ADMU.
pero isa kasi sa criteria nila e facilities, mas OK yata facilities ng la salle.
sorry kung bias, pero i do believe ateneo is a better school tahn la salle
i don’t think so. i firmly believe that la salle is better that ateneo

“Perhaps the group who conducted this study did not take a look at and into Silliman.”
If I’m not mistaken, there are qualifications that a certain school needs in order to be included in universities ranking such as that of Times Higher Education Supplement-Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS).
One more thing, even if the school is qualified to join any said rankings but it opted not join, then the school should not appear in those lists.
