Hear it straight from UP and Ateneo's administrators how this ranking could help UP lobby to receive more funding, and why PH universities went down in this year's QS ranking.

Obvious financial turmoil in Diliman. As if the dilapidated edifices do not say it all out loud.

What dilapidated edifices are you talking about? In case you havent noticed there's an ongoing construction boom in UPD right now which includes a major refurbishing of bldgs and roads. Thanks to donors and alumni who continue to keep the E fund robust...(and no thanks to cuper and his admin). Now, only that god-forsaken excuse of a gym needs to be repaired/refurbished.

GMA talaga o. They never bothered to talk to ust which suffered the biggest drop in the rankings. Oldest Univ in Asia pa man din. In addition if only the upper half of the top asian 300 are being ranked by QS then ust, at 148th place, is already at the fringe.

in fairness, nanananghalian ako kanina habang nanonood ang katulong namin ng Pinoy Henyo sa Eat Bulaga. Nanalo ang UST at nilampaso nila ang PATTS. Congrats! Tingnan natin kung sasali ang DLSU, UP at ATENEO. Makakaapekto kaya 'to sa ranking? Charotz.

^ PUP at PLM ata mga magagaling sa ganyang contest.

[haqseau]

^ Huwag nyong under estimate ang ust sa ganyang pa contest. Sasali at sasali mga yan at todo preparation pa.
