QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – You reap what you sow, the saying goes, and the University of the Philippines learned this lesson well.

After naming ex-Vice President Leni Robredo one of its top alumni, U.P.’s ranking among universities in Asia dropped almost 50 percent!

The state university is now ranked in the 201-250 bracket, according to the Times Higher Education Rankings for 2023.

Last year, U.P. placed 129 in the rankings.

What a difference a year makes. What a difference an award to Robredo makes!
