The 2007 Top 20 Schools in the Philippines, According to CHED

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
  7. University of Santo Tomas
  8. Mindanao State University
  9. Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila
  10. Saint Louis University
  11. University of San Carlos
  12. Xavier University
  13. Mindanao State University
  14. Urios College
  15. Polytechnic University of the Philippines
  16. De La Salle University
  17. Mapua Institute of Technology
  18. Adamson University
  19. Central Mindanao University
  20. University of Southern Philippines

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 Apparently, the list above is “superseded” by a study conducted by the CHED and PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) over the past five years.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
  3. Saint Louis University
  4. University of the Philippines-Los Banos
  5. Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan)
  6. Ateneo de Davao University
  7. Ateneo de Manila University
  8. Silliman University
  9. University of San Carlos
  10. Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Tech
  11. University of the Philippines-Manila
  12. De La Salle University-Manila
  13. Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila
  14. University of the Cordilleras(Formerly Baguio Colleges Foundation)
  15. University of Negros Occidental
  16. Mindanao State University
  17. Polytechnic University of the Philippines
  18. Mapua Institute of Technology
  19. Central Mindanao University
  20. Adamson University

    @ pits

    YUCK…wag mo i compare ang PUP sa FEU pagdating sa EMPLOYABILITY..napakalayo ng agwat…pwed ang PUP sa mga service crew at related na work kasi masipag kayo…haha.,,

    Hindi mo kasi alam kasi sa PUP ka lang..hanggang ngayon RANK AND FILE parin ang PUP grad after 10yrs…yan ang katotohanan..sinong PUPian ang nasa GOBYERNO NGAYON?…SINO PUPian ang mga TOP OFFICIALS SA PRIVATE SECTOR?…WALA..dahil kahit skills wala kayo..sipag lang meron kayo..hahaha..A CHEAP UNIVERSITY IN METRO MANILA

    BAKIT NA ISA-ISA MO NA BA ANG MGA GRADUATES NG PUP AT NASABI MO YAN? TANUNGIN MO MUNA ANG SARILI MO BAKA NGAYUN WALA KA PANG WORK?
    NAPAKARAMING GRADUATES NG PUP NA TAHIMIK LANG ABOUT THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS IN LIFE AT HINDI NAGYAYABANG.

    AT SINO NAMANG MGA FEU ALUMNI ANG TOP GOVERNMEWNT OFFICIAL NGAYON? WALA DI BA KASI DI NA SILA KUMUKUHA NG MGA GRADUATES NA MAHIHINA AT WALANG ALAM.

    ANG ALAM KO LANG NA CHEAP SA PUP IS THE TUITION FEES BUT NOT STUDENTS. DI TULAD SA FEU ANG MABABA/CHEAP ANG UTAK AT MATAAS ANG TUITION FEES.

    “Tamaraw CPA honored in US

    The Illinois CPA Society recently bestowed its 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award to IABF alumnus Edilberto Ortiz. The award is the highest honor given by the 25,000-strong organization and was given in recognition of Mr. Ortiz’s major contributions not only to the group but also to the Accounting Profession and for establishing E.C. Ortiz and Co LLP, which is regarded as one of the biggest firms in the United States.

    Mr. Ortiz stressed in his acceptance speech “I was not born out of privilege, as such I had to work to support myself in college. I am glad I became a member of the CPA profession, one that has provided opportunities and experiences that helped me build a diverse CPA firm with the goal of providing outstanding service to our clients.”

    According to Consul Leo M. Herrera-Lim, the FEU alumnus is one of the best Filipinos in the US”
