MANILA, Philippines - In a country where diplomas are displayed prominently in living rooms and name plates bearing professional credentials hang outside homes for the neighbors to see, degree holders who have spent a fortune on their college educations will be dismayed to find out that Philippine universities do not fare well in global rankings.

Only four Philippine universities out of the country’s more than 2,000 higher education institutions have produced flickers on the global radar screen - state-run University of the Philippines (UP) and three Catholic schools: Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, and the University of Santo Tomas (UST).
