[...] whole discussion and debate about international university ratings is I believe, largely limited to UP, Ateneo, De La Salle and to some extent UST. It is not really a [...]

The survey is not a marketing ploy because UP participated in similar surveys in the past. As for the argument that the survey is “flawed,” all surveys are flawed.

Both schools are not “top universities” because they teach “useless” subjects but for other reasons. Those “useless” subjects are also taught in other schools that follow CHED guidelines for general education.

It’s the good alums that should shame their alma mater. If you read the story of Edjop, the Ateneo couldn’t have the guts to hold a full wake for him. So Edjop, the magis seeker, in death shamed the Jesuits.

As for UP’s alums those of us who really work, live and die for what we believe in shame the university. The university is always a place for compromise and ideals. That the UP can’t do much for its two missing students is extremely shameful.

blackshama, why don’t you think the good eggs in a given school (whether ateneo, up, dlsu or ust) censure the bad ones? why don’t the orders that are running these schools take this as an opportunity to take a stand for their beliefs (e.g. ‘Man for others’)? if there are honorary doctorates for those who have noteworthy achievements, shouldn’t there also be symbolic expulsions for these dishonorable alumni/alumna?

All they really know is polite behavior and etiquette. Like I said in the past, they confuse ethics with etiquette.

Hehe. More true than not.

UP and Ateneo’s best contribution to our fruit or egg basket

GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO -MA Econ (1978) AdMU, PhD (1985) UP

Ooops I forgot that she is an alum of Assumption but I give the nuns the benefit of the doubt!

Of course Ateneo and UP have produced the antidotes to this like

Dr Ting Tiongco BS (1966) AdMU, MD (UP) 1971

and many more. I know some of these Ateneo-UP alums who are serving their people without due recognition. These “hybrids” as we may call them are decent men and women and live up to being men and women for others who have genuine concern for the country and the poor.

But for every bad egg, Ateneo and UP produce two or more good eggs. Unfortunately rotten eggs smell bad and people tend to notice them first!
