MANILA, Philippines — It has been an easy road for five universities from Japan, three from Hong Kong, one each from Singapore and South Korea to land in the 2011 top 10 slots of the best universities in Asia this year.

For the most part, Times Higher Education-Quacquarenelli Symonds also hands it to four Philippine universities to be at par with international education standards.

Alongside their ranks and scores, the Philippines’ big four, in keeping with their last year’s standing are — No. 62. University of the Philippines (UP) –58.10 percent; No. 68. Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) – 57.20 percent; No. 104. University of Santo Tomas (UST) – 47.10 percent; and 107. De La Salle University (DLSU)–45.90 percent.

Ateneo was ahead of UP in 2010 list.

It’s also a purposeful stride in that direction of higher quality tertiary education to have 11 additional Philippine universities cited in list of the top 500 universities in Asia.
