Well, the CHED designated as Centers of Excellence (COE) the following Engineering Courses in the De La Salle University Manila - College of Engineering namely:

1. Mechanical Engineering
2. Chemical Engineering
3. Electronics & Communication Engineering
4. Industrial Engineering

Moreover according to CHED, De La Salle's Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering courses are the ONLY CHED-affirmed Centers of Excellence for these two respective Engineering courses.

So in my opinion De La Salle has the BEST College of Engineering in the Philippines.

Vinncho,

Just want to correct something, DLSU only has three COEs, minus the Industrial Engineering which you mentioned. DLSU is only a Center of Development (1) or COD1 on this category. UP is the only COE with regards to Industrial Engineering. All in all, UP still has the edge since they have more COEs than DLSU.

Me
Mar 5, 2000, 01:08 AM
Vinncho:

Are you sure that DLSU's Industrial Engg. program already got CHED's COE citation? Last I heard, only the first three programs that you've mentioned got that elusive citation. But then again that was last year.

Anyway, if indeed the IE program is already a COE then La Salle can safely say that based on CHED's citation she is one of the best, if not the best, in the engineering programs that she offers. This also means that La Salle's Manufacturing and Civil Engg programs are the only ones that are yet to get the COE citation. But I think CHED is not classifying manufacturing engg evidenced by its absence in the previous COE-COD list from the commission. That leaves the Civil engg program to aim for that COE. It is rather a tall order considering that it already shares with UP's Civil Engg program the highest citation given to any other school - a Center of Development (Category 1). But then again if the Chemical and Mechanical Engg programs can do it why can't the Civil Engg give another sole COE for La Salle?

Peace.

Well according to the statement that all in all UP has the most number of COEs well that may be a fact but the thing is that most of the COEs ng UP are also the COEs of La Salle and some courses with which UP got a COE are not even offered in La Salle.UP is not even a COD in Civil Engineering. In fact its only La Salle who got that citation.

DLSU-Manila has the distinction as the SOLE
Center of Excellence in Chemical Engineering and also in Mechanical Engineering among all Philippine universities as attested to by CHED.

DLSU-Manila and UP-Diliman were both conferred by CHED - Center of Excellence distinctions in Electronics & Communication Engineering and Industrial Engineering.

In terms of engineering labs and facilities having seem the facilities in UST, Don Bosco-Mandaluyong, UP-Diliman, Mapua and DLSU-Manila - DLSU-Manila has the best.

Well in the Philippines, high quality ENGINEERING is only offered in DLSU-Manila, UP-Diliman and Mapua.

I'd give the edge to DLSU-Manila due to its industry & CHED-acknowledged better & more modern engineering labs and facilities over UP-Diliman's which sad to say is not that up-to-date(probably due to UP's present government budget constraints).

DLSU-Manila has the best Engineering School in the country. The Bachelor courses it offers are:

1. Mechanical Engineering - only COE in the Philippines
2. Chemical Engineering - only COE in the Philippines
3. Electronics & Communication Engineering - COE
4. Industrial Engineering - COE
5. Civil Engineering - COD1
6. Manufacturing Engineering - only course being offered in the Philippines

Aside from the Bachelor courses, its also offers Masteral and PhD degrees in the various Engineering courses.

UP-Diliman is also good but its equipment are not up-to-date.

Mar 12, 2000, 10:28 PM
well, DLSU really has top notch facilities... but as blue fever had said..thats only part of it. UP has a lot of talent and faculty. And i have seen first hand what each eng'g person in UP has to go through. That's why it's an honor as it is to finish on time in UP eng'g.

Timothy
Mar 12, 2000, 10:59 PM
Like what the two posters here said, high-tech facilities is not equivalent to being the best. It's like saying that a futuristic-designed house is better than a house designed country-style. It doesn't make sense. There should also be brilliant faculty members and inspired, intelligent students. UP College of Engineering may not have the most high-tech facilities, but their students and faculty surpass the other schools mentioned here by at least a mile. And the board results speak for themselves--UP pa rin!

Ira
Mar 12, 2000, 11:23 PM
Here's a quote from a poster, Me, who is an engineer. He posted this is the thread with the same subject, which no one seems to have bothered reading, or maybe just chose to ignore. He got this from Manila Bulletin- Power Education Series ( Sept.19, Oct. 10, and Oct.24, 1999).

CHED sets standards in which certain courses offered by diff. schools are to be measured. It is like the ISO 9000 quality standards. A center of excellence (COE) rating means that a course is up to world-standard, a center of development (COD) means that its high standard but not quite COE yet.

1. UP = 10
COE - Geodetic, Metallurgical, Industrial, Electrical - 4
COD1- Chemical, Civil, Elec. & Comm., Mechanical, Mining - 5
COD2 - Computer - 1

2. DLSU =5
COE - Chemical, Elec.& Comm., Mechanical - 3
COD1 - Civil, Industrial - 2

3. UST
COE - Elec.& Comm. - 1
COD1 - Chemical, Electrical, Industrial - 3
COD2 - Civil, Mechanical - 2

4. Adamson
COD1 - Electrical, Industrial - 2
COD2 - Chemical, Civil, Computer, Elec. & Comm., Mechanical - 5

Snoc: Yes, UP is a COD1 for Civil Engg according to a list of COE and COD in Manila Bulletin - Power Education Series (Oct. 24, 1999). Anyway, one less COD1 won't affect UP's ranking above.

To answer the question forwarded by this topic, a ranking of engg schools has to be made. Being an engineer, I'm not inclined on making a ranking based on perception alone. I hope that you agree that one way of "fairly" ranking is by basing it on the no. of school's COEs and CODs. Its not the only way but at least, I believe that, it is FAIR. But by limiting the courses to be considered -to only those offered by one school - it could hardly be called fair. Don't get me wrong I'm not pro-UP nor anti-Mapua. In fact, I'm a Lasallian engineer and my father is a Mapua Alumnus. But you have to agree that no one comes close to UP in terms of diversity and no. of COEs and CODs. So to answer the topic's question, no doubt based on COEs and CODs, UP is the best.

Peace.

WELL NOBODY CAN REALLY BE SURE IF HE REALLY IS A TRUE LA SALLIAN. JUST A THOUGHT. JUST A REMINDER UPDATE YOUR RECORDS..

Timothy
Mar 14, 2000, 09:52 PM
Anong connection ng pagiging taga LaSalle niya o hindi niya pagiging LaSalle sa sinabi niya? Does his alma mater make what he said less true? He based his comments on what he read and what he experienced as an engineer, dude. He even cited references. Or does a true LaSallian always say "DLSU THE BEST" kahit wala na sa lugar? Just wondering.

tr|n|ty
Mar 15, 2000, 06:28 AM
I have to agree with Timothy, what does not being a true la sallian have anything to do with saying that UP may well be the best eng'g school? it's just a fact that you have to admit..it doesn't mean that you are less of a person by admitting what seems to be the truth. Admitting that you are not the best makes you a better individual because not all can say that.

DLSU-Manila.

Although UP-Diliman offers more Engineering courses than De La Salle, in the FIVE(5) engineering courses where DLSU & UP-Diliman compete HEAD-TO-HEAD, as per CHED - DLSU's courses are rated higher in three courses and tied in two courses.

Examples:
Mechanical Eng'g: DLSU-COE;UP-COD1
Chemical Eng'g : DLSU-COE;UP-COD1
Elect.& Comm. Eng'g: DLSU-COE; UP-COD1
Industrial Eng'g: DLSU: COE; UP-COE(tie)
Civil Eng'g : DLSU: COD1; UP-COD1(tie)

DLSU-Manila does NOT offer the other four(4) Eng'g courses mining, geodetic, metallurgical & electrical engineering where UP-Diliman has COEs. Nor does DLSU offer computer engineering since in DLSU - a separate College is devoted to Computer Studies & its sub-branches and is not under the engineering department.

DLSU-Manila though offers Manufacturing Eng'g (robotics specialization) which UP-Diliman does not offer & is still currently unrated by CHED since its a pioneering course in the Philippines.

I also give DLSU-Manila the edge in equipment/facilities and caliber of its engineering professors.

However I also have the highest regard for UP-Diliman's Engineering program also.

DLSU-Manila is the best in the Philippines when it comes to Engineering. Aside from Bachelor degrees it also offers masteral and PhD degrees in Engineering.

It is to be noted that in the FIVE(5) Engineering courses where DLSU-Manila and UP-Diliman compete HEAD-ON, in NONE of these Five(5) Engineering courses does UP-Diliman OUT-RANK that of DLSU-Manila as per CHED.
Out of the Five(5) Engineering Courses, CHED gives De La Salle the edge over UP-Diliman in THREE(3) courses namely Mechanical, Chemical and Electronics & Communications Engineering.
In the other TWO(2) Eng'g courses namely Civil and Industrial Engineering, CHED ranks both of them equal. It is also a FACT that CHED ranks De La Salle's Chemical and Mechanical Engineering programs as the ONLY
Center of Excellence in the country.

DLSU-Manila is also No. 1 in the Philippines in Accounting, Business/Commerce, Computer Studies, LIACOM, Communication Arts and Mathematics/Sciences.

I would rank UP-Diliman as No. 2 and Mapua No. 3 in Engineering in the country.

I've known him for a long time and I trust his judgment. He gives a fair assessment of the state of engineering in UP - tops in EE and in the material sciences but terrible in Mechanical Eng. and average in Civil and Chemical. He has nothing but nice words to say about DLSU's Engineering School and says he thinks the competition will be good for both schools. He says DLSU's revenue stream is a definite advantage and that the money he thinks is being put to good use.

I think La Salle is generally good in Engineering courses but that doesn't mean they dominate the arena. There are actually lots of factors to take into consideration before La Salle can be regarded the dominant icon in Engineering Education. They may be the best (although for me its still UP) in some areas, but on the other hand, they are not the frontrunnner in other areas. For example in Board Exam performance...seldom I see La Salle grads dominating different Engineering disciplines as in landslide ha!...a feat which were already done by UP, Mapua and UST in the past and still doing at present. La Salle is definetly good in design contests, they win some, lose some, but can we regard them as dominant? NO!. In some intercollegiate engineering quiz contests, sometimes they are not even seeded to win. They even didn't place in the top three. After all the analyses done by different sectors like CHED, It all boils into one conclusion...NOBODY is really the BEST!

I believe that an up to date engineering facility is a big factor for producing effective engineers. But inspite of UP's lack of facilities, it is able to produce quality engineers. Why? because UP does not let these problems hinder them. They may not have access to the latest equipment but they have the best ATTITUDE.

The fact that DLSU-Manila and UP-Diliman are just about the ONLY PHILIPPINE universities that offer quality Engineering Education amid the vast sea of Engineering College Diploma Mills says A LOT about the philophy of these two universities - THEY ONLY STRIVE FOR THE BEST IN WHATEVER THEY DO.

Personally, I would give the EDGE to DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY-MANILA over UP-DILIMAN. In fact even in the Engineering Courses they similarly offer, even CHED gives the superiority EDGE to DLSU-Manila.

However, UP-Diliman is very good also in Engineering. I cannot say the same about the other universities offering Engineering courses.

Sa mga inhinyero, mahalaga ang RESULTA. Magandang gamiting basehan ng isang magaling na engineering school and performance ng kanilang engineers sa industriya. Sa trabaho kase namin di ka tatanungin kung ilang COEs mayroon ang school, kung anong grade mo sa board exam (some don't even bother to ask if you passed), kung gaano kaganda ang pilot plant ng school ninyo, o kung sumali ka sa battle of the brains. May isang insidente pa nga na ni-lait-lait ng manager ang "school" ng isa sa mga kasama kong engineer dahil di siya "maka-deliver." Nakakalungkot pero totoo.
Bottom line - there sould be homogeneity between the engineering school and its engineers. Kung anong "puno" s'yang "bunga". Ano ba ang mas nakikita ng maraming tao? diba ang "bunga?"

DLSU has the most COE's of the 3 i mentioned above, UP second and UST has a COE in ECE, COD-1 in Chemical Engineering,Industrial Engineering,Electrical Engineering...COD-2 in Civil Engineering & Mechanical Engineering!....
Mapua naku paki improve ang facilities at building nyo ha!....sorry pero bulok compared to facilities and laboratories of DLSU,UP & UST!....

And if passing percentage ang paguusapan sa Board Exams in dif. fields of Engineering.... UP, DLSU & UST ang nangunguna and take note these 3-schools have divided among themselves ang mga top-notchers over the various engineering fields! and acc. to PRC UST has the most no. of passers in the 50-100 examinees, DLSU in the 25-50 examinees, at UP-Diliman sa 1-10or20 examinees!

That's not true!

UP Engineering is 5 years (10 semesters w/ summers) with no practicum.
DLSU Engineering is 4 years and 1 term (12 trimesters w/ no summers) with one summer and one trimester of Practicum, Except in Manufacturing Eng'g and Management, having 3 trimesters (1year) of Industrial Training.

UP Diliman. as i've said, it's what you do after college that matters the most, and UP has earned it's outstanding reputation not by winning major sports event or high tech facilities (although i admit, DLSU certainly has those two) but because most of its students are not as well-off as that of the others but still managed to excel in their chosen fields.

I have nothing against DLSU Engg (my sister is currently studying there!) but i have great respect for the graduates of UP Engg.

i agree that its up to the student as to how well he can excel in his chosen field. what i just dont get is the perception that dlsu has a great engineering program just because it has high-tech facilities. it's more than just the hi-tech facilities(and they dont even let the students use majority of the machines there)that make its eng program good. magaling din faculty ng dlsu eng and school projects are nothing to sneeze at. add to that the trimestral system which forces you to learn things at a faster rate and you'll see that the facilities is just a part of what makes dlsu's eng program good.

Mapua! bago kayo magambisyong maging best! eh paki renovate ang buong building nyo at sobrang kahiyahiya! and just for the record you cant claim to be one of the best when you have no proof at present that your indeed one! Mapua Wala kayong CoE's sa kahit saang field! na offered sa schools like UP,DLSU & UST!!!

Only Three schools today can claim to be the BEST! and that it DLSU,UP-Diliman & UST! on the basis of their CoE's and CoD's as recognized by CHED! and Passing Percentage by PRC! as baka isipin nyo na dahil you hit some top places in the board eh best na kayo!?? MAGISING KAYO!

Facilities....Mapua yours is obsolete and quite old needs to be improved!
Laboratories....you damn need the help of an expert!in improving these things!
Quality.... Your drifting away from the major league!...as reflected in different board exams results!!!!....

Your school charges quite high in tuitions but your students dont quite get the facilities that they deserve to have!.. for the record your fee is the third highest next to DLSU&UST! but when it comes to improvements of facilities and laboratories your logging behind the big three!!!

The Quality of Prof. are also quite behind in your dear Mapua! DLSU<;UP&UST! have many masteral and doctoral degree holders while yours are only bachelor degree holder now how can you have quality when your prof. is'nt quality at all!!

Paki renovate ang building nyo! ang panghi! ang sikip! ang dilim! parang pagpumadyak ka eh tutumba na!!!...pls.! lang NAKAKAHIYA!

Mapua....hmmmmm.saka na magambisyon pag na renovate at na uplift na ang facilities nyo!...

I have read all the posts on this thread and learned that most of the posters are metro manila based students.Only one post i've read from a promdi student (from MSU).I agree that these schools you are fighting for(maybe with your life :D )are schools having very huge financial capabilities aside from charging exhorbitant tution fees. Yes, they have the best facilities money can buy and the best professors they could pay, but are the courses they offered affordable to everyone?In my opinion, these great courses they offered with CHED's COE/COD certifications are only for the moneyed student,maybe except for UP which gives upportunity to ordinary students with extraordinary intelligence as scholars.
There are schools outside metro manila which also offers excellent engineering education like USC & USJR in Cebu, XU in CDO, MSU in Marawi & MSU-IIT in Iligan.USC,USJR & XU are private schools which also chaged high tution fees.MSU main & MSU-IIT are state universities that produces excellent graduates.Yet these grads finished school without spending lots of money by way of scholarship.These schools also have excelent facilites to talk about...IIT also has CHED's COD1 & COD2 certification to speak of....
Now, which school is the best...those schools for the elite or those schools for everybody?

UP Engineering facilities are not bad. We use Cadence in designing microchips. We have Suns and a Silicon Graphics. We have a wafer probe and logic analyzers. Our Comm engg lab is into microwave. It has spectrum and network analyzers. Our Software applications lab is into databases (used outside the university). Our Instrumentation, Robotics, and Control lab is into medical instrumentation. Our DSP-Texas Instruments Elite lab is the only one in the whole country. We teach DSP to the faculty of other engg schools. Most of our labs are open
24 hours a day. So if a bright idea hits you, you can go straght to the lab (of course, you have to be affiliated with the lab first).

Our Yamatake lab won the mobile robot race in the microcontroller design contest.

im not impressed with the board exams but we are hitting a 100% passing rate (if you insist on measuring the worth of an engg school through the board exams. im not impressed with it because all you have to do is answer multiple choice questions-pathetic!)

Best of all (La Salle will never top this), we have the best talent pool. Most science high grads go to UP. And the UPCAT, with the competition, it's like passing through the eye of a needle...

So tell me, what does La Salle have?

You must be referring to Dr. Diosdado Banatao. Yeah, you're right, it should not be taken as a proof because Dr. Banatao himself admitted that what he got from Mapua was insufficient.

Entry level car? really? He boasted in the Inquirer that one of his toys is a business jet.

For your info, Ateneo's Management Engineering course is NOT recognized as a real engineering course since it does not include core engineering subjects common to all engineering courses as specified by the CHED.

So the Ateneo ME course is actually a MISNOMER. It is basically a management course with a lot of math subjects.

So please do not confuse Management Engineering as a real Engineering Course just because it carries the word "engineering".

Just an explanation.

BTW to me the best engineering schools in the Philippines are UP-Diliman, DLSU-Manila and Mapua in that order.

Ust and dlsu both have excellent engineering programs, they have excellent facilities for their hands-on training but because of UP’s College of Engineering low quota/student selectivity they still get the best h.s. grads for their engineering programs. But this doesn’t mean that ust and dlsu engineering grads are not as good as up eng grads.

May nakita akong facilities kanina sa UP. Ayos yun. Actually may mga ka-batch ako noon sa ECE (sa La Salle) na pumupunta pa sa UP para magawa ang thesis nila.

May kanya-kanyang strengths talaga e. Kesyo topnotcher ang mga graduate ng isa, hindi ibig sabihin astig na ang school niya. I agree that where the individual lands after graduation is the judge.

One thing that bugs me though: Mapua graduates are known for being one of the best and most well-trained analysts and techies in the country. Kaso noong nagre-review ako para sa board exam, nasira ang impression ko sa Mapuans. Hindi kasi nila matanggap na may mas matataas sa kanila sa 'mock' examinations, at kung anu-ano pa ang sinasabi.

Clearly a view point from a narrow minded individual.


FYI this thread has come to a very senseless derogatory remark-throwing situation, clearly just a form of "d*ck-measuring" assertions.


I will not rebuttle by throwing mud at you. But instead, I'll give a something to think about. It's quite lengthy, but a good read.

The Filipinos: Why We Are Poor

Please read with an open mind and open heart. Any soul puporting to be patriotic should feel the honesty of this essay.

In one of the luncheons he hosted recently for clients of the Rizal Commercial Banking Corp., Ambassador Alfonso T. Yuchengco asked the writer Francisco Sionil Jose to share some of his observations of the current scene. This is the paper Mr. Jose read on that occasion.

What did South Korea look like after the Korean War in 1953? Battered, poor
- but look at Korea now. In the Fifties, the traffic in Taipei was composed of bicycles and Army trucks, the streets flanked by tile-roofed low buildings. Jakarta was a giant village and Kuala Lumpur a small village surrounded by jungle and rubber plantations. Bangkok was criss-crossed with canals, the tallest structure was the *** Arun, the Temple of the Sun, and it dominated the city's skyline. Rice fields all the way from Don Muang airport - then a huddle of galvanized iron-roofed bodegas, to the Victory monument.

Visit these cities today and weep - for they are more beautiful, cleaner and prosperous than Manila. In the Fifties and Sixties we were the most envied country in Southeast Asia.


Remember further that when Indonesia
got its independence in 1949, it had only 114 university graduates compared to the hundreds of Ph.D.'s which were already in our universities. Why then were we left behind? The economic explanation is simple. We did not produce cheaper and better products.

The basic question really is: why we did not modernize fast enough and thereby doomed our people to poverty. This is the harsh truth about us today. Just consider these: some 15 years ago a survey showed that half of all grade school pupils dropped out after grade 5 because they had no money to continue
schooling. Thousands of young adults today are therefore unable to find jobs. Our natural resources have been ravaged and they are not renewable. Our tremendous population
increase eats up all of our economic gains. There is hunger in this country now; our poorest eat only once a day.

But this physical poverty is really not as serious as the greater poverty that afflicts us and this is the poverty of the spirit.

Why then are we poor? More than ten years ago, James Fallows, editor of the Atlantic Monthly came to the Philippines and wrote about our damaged culture which, he asserted, impeded our development. Many disagreed with him but I do find a great deal of truth in his analysis.


This is not to say that I blame our social and moral malaise on colonialism alone. But we did inherit from Spain a social system and an elite that, on purpose, exploited the masses. Then, too, in the Iberian peninsula, to work with one's hands is frowned upon and we inherited that vice as well. Colonialism by foreigners may no longer be what it was, but we are now a colony of our own elite.

We are poor because we are poor - this is not a tautology. The culture of poverty is self-perpetuating. We are poor because our people are lazy. I pass by a slum area every
morning - dozens of adults do nothing but idle, gossip and drink. We do not save. Look at the Japanese and how they save in spite of the fact that the interest given them by their banks is so little. They work very hard too.

We are great show-offs. Look at our women, how overdressed, over-coiffed they are, and Imelda epitomizes that extravagance. Look at our men, their manicured nails, their personal jewelry, their diamond rings. Yabang -that is what we are, and all that money expended on status symbols, on yabang. How much better if it were channeled into production. We are poor because our nationalism is inward looking. Under its guise we protect inefficient industries and monopolies. We did not pursue agrarian reform like Japan and Taiwan. It is not so much the development of the rural sector, making it productive and a good market as well. Agrarian reform releases the energies of the landlords who, before the reform, merely waited for the harvest. They become entrepreneurs, the harbingers of change. Our nationalist icons like Claro M. Recto and Lorenzo Ta±ada opposed agrarian reform, the single most important factor that would have altered the rural areas and lifted the peasant from poverty. Both of them were merely anti-American.

And finally, we are poor because we have lost our ethical moorings. We condone cronyism and corruption and we don't ostracize or punish the crooks in our midst. Both cronyism and corruption are wasteful but we allow their practice because our loyalty is to family or friend, not to the larger good.

We can tackle our poverty in two very distinct ways. The first choice: a nationalist revolution, a continuation of the revolution in 1896. But even before we can use violence to change inequities in our society, we must first have a profound change in our way of thinking, in our culture. My regret about EDSA is that change would have been possible then with a minimum of bloodshed. In fact, a revolution may not be bloody at all if something like EDSA would present itself again. Or a dictator unlike Marcos.

The second is through education, perhaps a longer and more complex process. The only problem is that it may take so long and by the time conditions have changed, we may be
back where we were, caught up with this tremendous population explosion which the Catholic Church exacerbates in its conformity with doctrinal purity.

We are faced with a growing compulsion to violence, but even if the communist won, they will rule as badly because they will be hostage to the same obstructions in our culture, the barkada, the vaulting egos that sundered the revolution in 1896, the Huk revolt in 1949-53.

To repeat neither education nor revolution can succeed if we do not internalize new attitudes, new ways of thinking. Let us go back to basics and remember those American slogans: A Ford in every garage. A chicken in every pot. Money is like fertilizer: to do any good it must be spread around.

Some Filipinos, taunted wherever they are, are shamed to admit they are Filipinos. I have, myself, been embarrassed explain for instance why Imelda, her children and the Marcos cronies are back, and in positions of power?

Are there redeeming features in our country that we can be proud of? Of course, lots of them. When people say for instance that our corruption will never be banished, just remember that Arsenio Lacson as mayor of Manila and Ramon Magsaysay as President brought a clean government.

We do not have the classical arts that brought Hinduism and Buddhism to continental and archipelagic Southeast Asia, but our artists have now ranged the world, showing what we have done with Western art forms, enriched with our own ethnic traditions. Our professio

Yes, that's why people go back to school and take their MS, and PhD regardless which college they came from.

Also, I don't see the point of arguing which is the best engineering school in the Philippines since when we go to the global IT market, we are all seen as engineers who graduated in engineering schools in some 3rd world country... and that levels up the playing field.

FYI I know a number of engineers in the US who graduated in an (as earlier claimed) ill-equipped, ineffienct, and piss-smelly place called Mapua Inst. of Tech who earn in the USD 6-digit range, and are only in their mid-20s... This is not to discount engineers from other schools, all 'am pointing out is it is not how glary the facilities, and etc., etc. it is what you know, and can do that matters; regardless, of school, race, nationality. Wala taga-La Salle, Ateneo, UP, UST, Mapua, etc. MIT, UC-Berkeley, UI-Champaine, CalTech, Indian Inst. of Tech, etc.

You Know... I agree with ur opinion on the topic, it really does not matter how nice and clean the school is, or how hi-tech or expensive the facilities are... It is on how good and how persevering the student is.. As many of u would recall, the number 1 in the Bar exam a few years back, was a student from DAgupan , from a not so reputable school, with poor library resources, and such... The case is the same with any field of specialization... Everything depends on the Student.

Moreover according to CHED, De La Salle's Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering courses are the ONLY CHED-affirmed Centers of Excellence for these two respective Engineering courses.

So in my opinion De La Salle has the BEST College of Engineering in the Philippines.

up diliman, hands down. the facilities of dlsu, though, are very up-to-date. in the last nstw (national science and technology week) fair held at the pttc, the dlsu displays were impressive. but here you can see the creativity and ingenuity of the up engg students. we may not have access to the most expensive equipment, but we matched their machines and we won the mobile robot races.

i have a lot of respect for mapua, since they usually top the board exams, but i still believe that the up engineering graduate is better, since we have extensive hands on experience in our fields. the board exams are just objective type exams, and not really a good measure of engineering capability.

What is your basis for this question ba? Is it the performance of the students in school... the EXPENSIVE facilities which you mentioned... the SCHOOL itself... or the results which you get from the students after graduation? Judging the best school is not a matter of determining whose facilities are the most advanced (or obsolete for that matter) because as people have different point of views, they could look at this ONE TOPIC in several different ways. ITS ALL THE SAME BANANA!!! It really depends on the student as one said...

As per CHED standards, DLSU-Manila is the ONLY CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (COE)in two of its Engineering Courses namely Chemical Engineering and Nechanical Engineering in the Philippines.

UP-Diliman only has a CENTER OF DEVELOPMENT (COD) distinction in Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

However in Electronics and Communications Engineering, both DLSU-Manila and UP-Diliman have the SAME CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (COE) distinction.

Personally, I would give the EDGE to DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY-MANILA over UP-DILIMAN. In fact even in the Engineering Courses they similarly offer, even CHED gives the superiority EDGE to DLSU-Manila.

However, UP-Diliman is very good also in Engineering. I cannot say the same about the other universities offering Engineering courses.

I really don't think that we can just simply compare DLSU & UP since there are eng courses in UP that we do not have in DLSU, although if we're gonna consider what DLSU presently has, they definitely have the edge over UP due to the distinctions that DLSU has received from CHED such as the COE's & COD's........

:rocker: I don't see anything wrong with that........well maybe those 2 professors are sick of the stupid system of your school that's why they left......in fact we have 2 professors in the IE Dept. who came from ur school who just received their Masteral Degrees in DLSU and currently pursuing their Doctoral degrees in DLSU as well....why is that??? well according to these 2 professors, they believe that DLSU has a better engineering program than UP, as simple as that! they even confessed that students in DLSU show more sincerity and eagerness in learning.............and about the FACILITY issue well its just one of the areas where DLSU surpasses UP.........you want some more :shrug: .........well we just marked another 100% passing rate in the recent ME Board Exams for the 4th consecutive year. :cheers:

Although UP-Diliman offers more Engineering courses than De La Salle, in the FIVE(5) engineering courses where DLSU & UP-Diliman compete HEAD-TO-HEAD, as per CHED - DLSU's courses are rated higher in three courses and tied in two courses.

Examples:
Mechanical Eng'g: DLSU-COE;UP-COD1
Chemical Eng'g : DLSU-COE;UP-COD1
Elect.& Comm. Eng'g: DLSU-COE; UP-COD1
Industrial Eng'g: DLSU: COE; UP-COE(tie)
Civil Eng'g : DLSU: COD1; UP-COD1(tie)

DLSU-Manila does NOT offer the other four(4) Eng'g courses mining, geodetic, metallurgical & electrical engineering where UP-Diliman has COEs. Nor does DLSU offer computer engineering since in DLSU - a separate College is devoted to Computer Studies & its sub-branches and is not under the engineering department.

DLSU-Manila though offers Manufacturing Eng'g (robotics specialization) which UP-Diliman does not offer & is still currently unrated by CHED since its a pioneering course in the Philippines.

I also give DLSU-Manila the edge in equipment/facilities and caliber of its engineering professors.

However I also have the highest regard for UP-Diliman's Engineering program also.

Tunog UP. heheheeee

Maybe you better transfer in some school na may subject pa ring Good Manners and right conduct,

ps. But I'm not from Mapua,ok.


hEY, excuse me? Do you might wana check hu among of us badly needs character building ha? We UP, DLSU and UST don't have to wrap it up on your face unless you want us to.

Our parents didn't prepare us for college and guide us to the best skuls just to become inhuman and not human-like with big heads.

I don't know where in the world you sprouted, I just hope your skul is very proud to have you to belong there moreso if your school has a very good reputation and standards.

Adios!

Correct me if I'm wrong okay?


Very true. So many. There is a certain faculty dept. that almost or i think all have Masterals here. It's not bad, I think it's good. That wud help Mapua improve pa. I just think they should at least serve La Salle too after their MA's.... after all, they are scholars here, But I don't think that is similar as to the phrase "milking the nature dry"

Konti ang nagtatake ng board and usually di kasabay ng mga grad from semestral skuls kac we are in a trisem and only few afford to graduate on time, sa hirap dahil sa sobrang bilis at pressure and just imagine na *** na we're given the same scope of lessons just like any other engi'g skul around. Walang nababawas sa mga topics.

To be the a good eng'g skul you must equip your students with knowlede and upgraded facilities in balance. That's the fact. Geared up with an atittude a future engineer ought to have.

Kung COEs at CODs lang naman ang pinag-uusapan eto ang dapat malaman ninyo. (Facts in addition to the ones given in earlier posts.)

UST offers 6 eng'g programs: ChE, CE, ECE, EE, IE, and ME. One is a COE (ECE) and the rest are CODs.

DLSU-Main offers 6 eng'g programs: ChE, CE, ECE, IE, ME, and MEM. 3 are COEs (ChE, ECE, ME) and 2 are CODs (CE and IE).

UP-Diliman offers 11 eng'g programs: ChE, CE, CoE, ECE, EE, GE, IE, ME, MetE, MinE, and MatE. 4 are COEs (EE, GE, IE, MetE) and 6 are CODs (ChE, CE, CoE, ECE, ME, MinE).

Adamson U has 7 CODs (ChE, CE, CoE, ECE, EE, IE, ME).

Map&uacute;aTech offers 11 courses (ChE, CE, CoE, ECE, EE, EMSE, EnSE, IE, ME, MetE, MinE) and has 3 CODs (ChE, MetE, MinE).

Based on the information above (not yet counting PRC Licensure Exam results, industry links, curriculum, and facilities) and depending on how you look at it, either UP or DLSU is the best. UP for its diversity—offering 11 courses with 10 being at least a COD. And DLSU since it has COEs in the more "relevant" courses (ECE, ChE, ME). Not far behind is UST and Adamson.

If you're going to look at PRC Exam results, you need to look at it in a lot of different ways (all years or recent years): Passing rate (percentage or absolute), average grade of passers, topnotcher positions, relevance of exam to actual field situations, etc. You can almost show that any school is the best given the right combination, so I would caution against basing judgement using licensure exam results.

i pity you for living in a dreamland...

first, UP doesn't get high passing rates because we have less examinees. we simply get high passing rates! and having less examinees is not our fault. some of us don't appreciate the relevance of the board exams and more importantly, we don't have a diploma mill for your highly esteemed ECE degree.

you got a 95% passing rate in the Nov board? well, good for you! UP made 100% and nobody from UP has ever failed the ECE board exams. if you'd argue that it's because we only had 30 examinees... well, if we're only as good as you are, at least two should have failed right? but nobody did.

second, you seem to have so much respect for an ECE exam which does not have a single electronic circuit and asks questions about children's software... ("LOGO" remember?) oh, and remember that question about anything which occupies space and has weight? even the question was inaccurate... i don't think such an exam is a proper measure for academic merits in ECE. oh by the way, should an ECE really concern himself with the medical term for gradual loss of hearing due to old age? get real man!!!

what then is the proper measure of achievement in any of these disciplines? undeniably it is the quality of graduates and that of their relevant research output --if you attended the ECE Conference last November you would see how your beloved alma matter has shied away from showing any of your papers and researchwork... or could it be because you have none to be really proud of?

finally, don't talk to us about you being softspoken and humble and all that crap. the way you bashed other schools and the way you flaunted your little "achievements" is a proof that you don't have a drop of humility in your veins.

envy...yipee...
the results of these exams is just one factor where the excellence of a particular school shows...winning isn't everything, i know that....
so tell me what's the purpose of board exams...well i believe that "HUGE" companies use these results as a gauge or as a basis for hiring and i've proven this to be true in my brother's case
so what do u think made this happen??? simple,it's the good training and discipline that he's acquired from DLSU, he did not graduate as an honor student he was even an irregular student and yet he bested most of ur graduates when he placed 11th...
personality is just another thing...personality alone will not take u anywhere...that's the right way of sayin' that.

it’s no big deal din for us mga taga UST…i admit that nasayang lang yung 3 years ko of majoring sa board exam...i think you can still pass the board kahit di ka nag-aral nung college ka coz many of the questions especially sa electronics were out of this world talaga for an ECE graduate...kung pwede nga lang puro design and problem solving ang board exam...im pretty sure we would be able to maintain our passing rate or even better inspite of the fact that we have many examinees...why not kaya i-try ng UP na magproduce ng at least a hundred students yearly sa ECE???i doubt if you would still be able to get a 100% passing rate...tska don't get me wrong ha...kasi some of you wants us to believe that UP students can't fail in the board exam...we'll you should check past board exams and board exams in other courses...
i'm shocked nga to know if a UP student failed a board exam because i used t think before na there's no reason for you to fail an exam kasi nga taga-UP ka and you're the #1 school...pero let's learn to accept victories as well as defeats...hindi **** palagi nasa itaas kayo ng wheel..."bilog ang gulong"....

may i ask, kelan ka nag-start magwork???I bet, nag-full time review ka..ako, I started working May last year…nagstart lang ako magreview 2nd week of august and I know many of my schoolmates na ganun din ang ginawa…board exam is no big deal for us…but we know we have to pass it just to get the title…don’t say na its no big deal sa lahat ng mga taga-UP yung board exam!!!meron din **** taga UP na ksama sa top 20 dba??? Do u know wyant chan???can u please ask him kung hindi sya nag-aim para makasama sa top 20…too bad, # 4 lang cya…alam ko *** over-all awardee ng Globe Telecom Achievement Awards…I expexted talaga dat he’ll land sa top 1... i admire him a lot and i believe that he deserved to be #1...that certainly proves dat kahit na you’re a graduate from the best school , it does’nt mean that you’ll be the best in every aspect of the game…kakatuwa nga lang kasi masyado kayo feeling superior???
Hey, why don’t you look at your feet!!!akala nyo ba nakalutang na kayo sa hangin??
Hehehe…no offense…(I don’t generalize kayong mga taga-UP…I have officemates from your school and they are very humble and simple…I admire them coz talagang magaling sila…para tuloy naiisip ko na tong mga guys na taga-UP na masyadong proud sa kanilang sarili are those students who belong to the lower 25% of their class!!!hehehe)….
.about dun sa ECE conference na sinansabi mo,we’ll im not surprise na marami taga UP ang nagparticipate and konti lang taga UST…common sense na lang…there’s no such thing as Masters of Science in ECE or in EE sa UST…
Unlike sa UP na u have master of science in EE with different majors(
Major in computers and communication, major in microelectronics, major in instrumentation and control, major in power )….that’s the reason why marami napoproduce na research papers ang UP…(ewan ko lang pero I’ve heard na marami daw dun sa mga research papers eh pang-library lang tlaga, they were not used in the industry)…perhaps you can correct me…why don’t you cite some papers na talagang napakinabangan or talagang kapaki-pakinabang…tsaka are you sure na lahat ng students sa UP Eng’g Grad school came from UP???I bet most of them came from other schools din… there’s only two university dito na nag-ooffer ng masters sa ECE…sa lasalle and UP lang…what is offered sa UST is “master of engineering program”…it is intended for faculty members…that’s why I’m not expectin a very complicated research paper from them..i’ve heard that they passed a paper on how to improve the ECE education in this country… if that’s true,then im very proud of it kasi they know how bad the ECE education is in our country…I think it will help a lot kesa naman dun sa mga papers na pang-library lang na gawa ng mga students from other schools who happened to study sa UP Grad School…i admit that if there's one thing na nagla-lag ang mga taga-UST, it's in the research field...thats one of the setbacks ng ust...sa asiaweek na lang,UST got very low score sa research unlike UP, lasalle and ateneo....if it is not to be included in the criterias, then we can be 2nd to UP sa asiaweek survey...pero i dont blame thomasians for not doing research papers...masyado na maliit yung library namin para sa mga research papers na wala nmang pakinabang, pampasikip lang!!!we would rather make one research paper per year, pero yung sigurado **** na mapapakinabangan talaga!!!

you are gravely mistaken mark_d_spark!

1) i aint frustrated for not being a topnotcher, if i wanted to --i could have been one, but the only serious reviewing i did was a month before the exam... so i don't really expect to do that well.

2) i didn't say that UP people aren't good in objective questions --if only the questions were relevant enough, objective or not, we could do exceptionally well. i don't suppose "prebycousis" is a relevant e.c.e. term...?

3) it is impossible to produce 100 e.c.e. students a year for a number of reasons:

a. we try to limit the number of students so that the teacher to student ratio and the ratio of students to lab equipment is optimized.

basta sa ECE ang alam kong da best ang UP DILIMAN. I went to the 2nd ECE conference last Nov. held at UST, and from the qualities of the papers presented by La Salle, Ateneo and UST, panis sila sa UP. lang silbi mga scientific papers nila, pang-machine problem lang.

Jan 15, 2002, 07:54 PM
hey, it isn't impossible to produce more than a hundred ECE students a year if your school really want...compaer to the students from our school, i but i guess,its because you won't be be able to get a 100% passing rate...tska why limit the students just to optimize the teacher to student ratio???for me, its just another excuse!!!i admire your professors and i think that they are a little better than ours because they have PhDs...so why optimize??? hindi **** ***** maganda na you have a doctorate degree in ECE,but you're teaching a class of 5 or 10 students lang???hehehe...tska why be afraid eh puro **** kayo "iskolar ng bayan"?im very sure that most of the students in UP were highschool valedictorians and salutatorians...and with your good policy in student selection, why not produce more than a hundred of ECE students per year....pero i really doubt tlaga if you cud still obtain a 100% passing rate in any board exam if you have more than a hundred examinees....


tska bout the ECE conference, let us not compare the papers from your school to UST and Ateneo...we don't offer a masters degree in ECE...what is offered sa UST is a master in engineering program which is intended for faculty members to enhance their teaching skills and to become updated with the current techmologies..kaya don't expect that UST will present a very technical research paper...lasalle and UP lang meron masters degree sa ECE and sa UP, there are 4 majors(power,microelec,instrumentation,computers and comm) kaya it is expected that UP will present more papers in any ECE conference...if you want to compare the papers, compare it with the papers from lasalle...tska the students of UP Grad School came from different schools din ****..i bet only a few graduated from UP tlaga...

Tom_Riddle
Jan 15, 2002, 09:26 PM
obviously, i wasn't through...

you are saying we don't need to optimize the student-teacher ratio? and you're from the institution whose only contribution to the ECE Conference was a paper on ECE Education? tsk, you're a disgrace mister.

and how shallow can you get? do you think UP even cares if their students take the board exams or not? why would they limit their graduates just to make sure that everyone would pass the board? the major reason why we don't reach the numbers you are proposing is because we have to uplift the high standards we have set. either you meet those standards or you're out... and while we do have more than a hundred ECE freshmen every year, less than half are able to make it through the rigid screening effectively imposed by our undergrad subjects. we don't have the diploma mill that most other schools do when it comes to ECE. in our block, for example, we were 35 during our freshmen year but only 4 of us graduated last March --do you think UP stopped the other 31 from graduating because they might not pass the board exam? that's preposterous!

oh, and you are arguing that the papers we presented in the ECE conference were graduate papers? for your information, more than 90% of the 30+ presentations from UP were done by undergraduate students. now, i'm pretty sure that 90% of 30 is still way more than your 2 papers...

so, where ECE is concerned, by board exam passing percentage and by research output... you are definitely, the weaker link. goodbye!

Some more information.

Only 43 students graduated BSECE from UP EEE in the second semester of last year (April 2001). Of those, 36 decided to take the board exams last November 2001 and all passed.

The department actually doesn't care if the graduates take the exam or not. They know that the graduates will excel in the field whether they take the exam or not. Besides, we all know that what is tested in the licensure exams is a far cry from what is taught to us in college.

So I really don't think you should base the quality of education on the board exam results. Some students just study enough to simply pass the exam. Whether you are a board topnotcher or just a 'sabit' you are given the same title: Engineer.

In the context of which is the best engineering school in the Philippines, probably none?c Is there any school we can possibly say ?gGood?h and now why are we talking about the ?gBest?h?c Isn?ft it ironic?c

I?fm a graduate of one of the schools you are mentioning right now?c I?fm a little bit proud for where I came from but there?fs a lot more reservation. Maybe its an entire Pinoy culture not to be proud of themselves. Currently I?fm working in what they called ?gFirst World Country?h, though I?fm a ?gThird World Educated Engineer?h I would say, I have a competitive advantage, Why? ?ecoz I belong to those who graduates from a school which builds the character of an engineer?c So much for the CODs and COE?fs of DLSU, the Board Exams of MAPUA, and Highly credible exams of UP and the undermining History of UST?c But it all boils down to the graduate?c If you think your school can carry you on top, how pathetic you shall be!!! But if you think, you can maximize the little resources of your school to fit your needs, well in good, you have the real know how of an engineer.. Its not about the school, its about the graduate!!!

Basis of Excellence:

1. Research- the school which can offer the best research facility and tools would be a big factor.

2. Affiliations - in these times we can always say we have these and that, but without the support of the industry, all are in vain.

3. Faculty
4. Specialization


Just a simple comment on the COD's and COE's CHED is giving, definitely there are standards but are those standards reflect on what the industry needs right now...

Who sets the criteria?
A group of people who until now cannot convince Intel to build a wafer fab in the country...
who cannot convince investors that filipinos can do what malaysians, singaporeans and thais can do... Yes you heard me right, our neighbors are getting stronger and better... and now the chinese.

Where shall you place yourself fellow engineers... these are things we should ponder about... not to disgust each other by trying to prove which is the "BEST SCHOOL" When in FACT "THERES EVEN NO GOOD SCHOOL YET"

Don't try to say that engineers must be well rounded(as one UP Grad have said)... Its the entire opposite...YOU MUST BE SPECIALIZED to be competitive in the current statusquo... Thats why engineering discipline is divided into such fields because of the matter of specialization...

Wow grabe ang dami na pala ang nagreact sa pinost ko na ito. Sorry ngayon lang ako nakapagsurf ulit. Well, it seems that the debate is between La salle and UP. La salle in terms of its facilities and UP with its quality education and instruction and of course with its bright students(kasama ba ko dun?). I'm an incoming 5th year BS ChE student from UP Diliman at masasabi ko na kailangan na ring iupgrade ang facilities sa Che Lab. Magtataas na nga ang tuition fee this coming June para maimprove ang mga ginagamit na chemicals and wares. Sabi nga ng prof ko sa thermo na super ganda talaga ng facilities sa La salle kaya nageexcel din sila pagdating sa ChE. Pero sa tingin ko mas magaling pa rin ang UP, especially in ChE kasi napanatili ang 100% passing rate except last year which broke the record. But i dont think maapektuhan nun ang quality of education sa UP. Basta ang alam ko ,resourceful ang mga Isko at Iska especially the engineering grads kasi nakakapagisip agad sila ng maraming paraan sa design ng mga products. That's my insight.

Our DSP-Texas Instruments Elite lab is the only one in the whole country. We teach DSP to the faculty of other engg schools. Most of our labs are open
24 hours a day. So if a bright idea hits you, you can go straght to the lab (of course, you have to be affiliated with the lab first).

Our Yamatake lab won the mobile robot race in the microcontroller design contest.

im not impressed with the board exams but we are hitting a 100% passing rate (if you insist on measuring the worth of an engg school through the board exams. im not impressed with it because all you have to do is answer multiple choice questions-pathetic!)

Best of all (La Salle will never top this), we have the best talent pool. Most science high grads go to UP. And the UPCAT, with the competition, it's like passing through the eye of a needle...

So tell me, what does La Salle have?

you may want to look up the thread that discusses the merits of management engg against industrial engg. ME students are quite admitted that management engg focuses more on the management issue, it utilizes the word "engineering" to emphasize the difficulty and analytic nature of the course.

about the ateneo and its engineering courses, i personally find the physics-computer engg fusion as a good combination. much of electrical engineering (to which com engg was derived from) relies on physics. maybe students/graduates of chem/ce would like to participate in this discussion. im quite curious how the two courses complement each other.

It's funny that people still considers Mapua one of the best Engineering school in the Philippines. Mapua may "have been" the engineering school of the 80's but today..hello??!!! It's no doubt that its quality has nose-dived. The only thing that keeps it from staying alive is the reputation and its new found investor. This is one school that is sending out graduates in hoards.

I think UP, La Salle and UST offer the best engineering education today. Adamson is worth mentioning too - better than the much-hyped Mapua.

BS Chem

You're going to study the science (Chemistry). Reactions are done in small scale (test tubes, beakers). You're going to search for the answers to the "why's".

BS Chemical Engg

You're going to apply the knowledge accumulated in Chemistry to real world problems. Reactions are done in commercial scale (big reaction columns, big tanks, big heat exchangers, basically, unit operations). Kinda empirical because there are a lot of variables that are difficult to capture in equations. You'll be dealing with a lot of empirical curves and tables. You're going to search for the answers to the "how's"

The traditional fields (mech, elect) are dominated by males (in terms of population). But there are a lot of women in chem engg and computer engg and electronics and communications engineering (and they get to excel in these fields, a number of women had topped the eee dept of UP in the past few years).


Yeah, maraming Math, di naman masyadong mahirap, tiyaga lang, and you should have the passion for it.


Chem engg people usually land jobs in the oil refining industry (shell, caltex, petron), soap business (p&g, unilever), cosmetics (avon), geothermal industry (pgi, pnoc edc), oilfield services (schlumberger)

Yes, chem engg is a five year program in UP

Chem Eng'g is a 5 year program in almost all schools!who offer this major!

topping the board exams is more on luck and analytical skills retained but no one can claim monopoly on this because if you are to see the records of the PRC UST also has it's own share of glory in terms of topping the board.

UP Diliman graduates usually have a 100% passing because their population is small in the first place. UP quality is far better because teachers can focus on their students,however,we cannot say that the other schools are inferior to them because records usually bail them out. UST-ECE(for example) are in the 50-100 category because this are the usual number of graduates we produce, when you compare faculty resources UST-ECE also bears a competitive edge with 10 or more faculty member in the majors having obtained a masters degree in MIT-USA, princeton and the likes... when it comes to resources again we can say that we're not behind with philips,Intel,sony,acer and other electronics company providing ample help; I think these are the major reasons why UST-ECE is given a COE status by Ched.

Personally I still believe that UP Diliman maintains a high quality of engineering education but DLSU and UST are not far behind.

syempre depende sa course yan.
Pero kung yung college of engineering mismo, syempre UP pa rin.
maglasalle ka kung gusto mo alagang-alaga ka. Yung walang kahirap-hirap kang ipapasa. Spoonfeeding.
Sa UP, survival of the fittest, kaya honored ka kung up eng'g grad ka, lalo na kung on time graduation mo. :)

i agree to agent1611 but you missed one school and that's mapua. Mapua was the number 1 school when it comes to engineering during the 1950's until 1980's together with their rivalry feati!

but today, it is now a different story. Im not saying that mapua is not good anymore. Im just emphasizing that many schools and universities had bloomed out and achieved a center of excellence!!!

1. UP and DLSU
2. MAPUA and UST

Almost all of the engineering courses in DLSU already achieved the Center of Excellence!!! Off course, UP is on the list. UP is our State's University. Followed by the best private school, DLSU. And then ADMU and UST.

Let's stop bashing. Let's accept the fact that UP is number 1, DLSU is number 2, AMDU is number 3, and UST is number 4.

Off course, these 4 big universities have their own specialties.

Okay!!!

Stop bashing!!!

UP Fight!!! Animo Lasalle!!! One BIg Fight!!! Go USTe!!!

Viva to all schools!!!

Personally I chose La Salle dahil nga graduate ako ng chemical engineering ng La Salle. Tsaka iyong nagsasabi na alagang alaga kami na madaling pumasa nagkakamali kayo. naghirap po ako para maka-graduate and ilang gabi rin akong di natulog para sa mga exams and projects namin. we even top the board exam last time. we got the 1st, 2nd and 4th place. so sana walang siraan ng school.

But all i can say is nasa tao iyan. Oo nga magaling school mo pero tamad ka naman, paano makikilala school niyo if tamad estudyante. What it matters eh tapusin ang pag-aaaral. trust me kahit saan ka man galing school, basta ok grades niyo, makakapasok kayo ng magandang trabaho.
