Ateneo, UP lead Philippines in THE 2025 Asia University Rankings

Andrie Hans Bayon

Ateneo de Manila University and the University of the Philippines have been ranked as the country’s top-performing universities in the 2025 Asia University Rankings released by Times Higher Education (THE) on April 24. 


The THE Asia University Rankings assess higher education institutions based on 18 performance metrics across research quality, teaching, industry, research environment, and international outlook. The rankings compiled by the same organization behind the THE World University Ranking, first launched in 2004.

In the results released Tuesday, Ateneo and UP both placed in the 501–600 bracket out of 853 universities from 35 countries and territories across Asia.

Despite sharing the same overall bracket, Ateneo outperformed UP in five key areas: Research Quality (57), Industry (24.4), International Outlook (33.4), Research Environment (10.8), and Teaching (30.1).

Ateneo encountered a slight drop from the 401–500 bracket in 2024 to the 501–600 bracket this year. However, Ateneo still remains the highest ranked Philippine university in Asia.

UP maintained its position, remaining in the same rank bracket as in the previous year. 

Several other Philippine universities were also included in this year's rankings. De La Salle University remained in the rankings but dropped from the 501–600 bracket in 2024 to the 601+ bracket in 2025.

Mapua University, Mindanao State University- Iligan Institute of Technology, and the University of Santo Tomas were also included in the ranking, landing in the 601+ bracket. 

Fifteen other Philippine universities were listed as “reporters”—universities that submitted data but did not meet the criteria for inclusion in this year’s rankings.

In Asia, China's Tsinghua University and Peking University topped the ranking placing 1st and 2nd respectively, followed by National University of Singapore in third.

Adam, the pot with cocks

 By Rjay Zuriaga Castor The pot with cocks ( PHOTO:   Thodoris Thou ) Far beyond the traditional terracotta pots, a Cyprian sculptor figuratively creates an eccentric "Adam", a male genetilia flower pot. Thodoris Thou (Greek word means "gift of god"), born in Cyprus but now living in a remote Grecian island in the Mediterranean Sea, is a self-taught sculptor and ceramist. In a magazine "Boys with Plants", he shared that his inspiration comes from Greek mythology, modern pop culture and nature, noting his passion about gardening. "I've been working with clay since 2006, and in the last few years, have managed to set up a small workshop in Nicosia. For the last two years I've focused on the 'Adam' pot," Thodoris said. "It started as a very personal project, that our body is basically a container. A vehicle that we have on this Earth, and through it you are born and grow into everything we want and love, like a plant growing in ...

54M Filipinos fully-vaccinated amidst Omicron surge, ST Odette damages

Image
By Eden Eve S. Lacea PHOTO: SunStar/Yahoo! News Fifty-four million Filipinos or more than 70% of the target population are now fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 despite the surge of Omicron cases and the difficulties caused by Super Typhoon Odette. According to the National Vaccination Operations Center (NVOC), a total of 111,383,756 vaccine doses were provided, of which 54,457,863 Filipinos or exactly 70.60% of the aimed populace had received full vaccinations as of January 13. In a statement by National Task Force Against COVID-19 Chief Implementer and vaccine czar Secretary Carlito G. Galvez Jr., damages caused by Super Typhoon Odette impeded the government's target to inoculate 54 million people last December 2021, but continued vaccination efforts helped raise the rollout even as Omicron cases continue to rise in the country. "Typhoon Odette had a huge effect on our vaccinations, which is why we weren't able to achieve the targeted 54 million fully-vaccinated individu...
