Top Philippine universities based on Web presence bared

MANILA, Philippines — Spain-based research group Cybermetrics Lab recently released the world ranking of universities including the top 200 colleges and universities in the Philippines for 2015 based on their respective Web presence.

"We intend to motivate both institutions and scholars to have a Web presence that reflect accurately their activities," the group under the Spanish National Research Council said in a statement, explaining the objectives of the "Webometrics" global ranking arm.

"If the Web performance of an institution is below the expected position according to their academic excellence, university authorities should reconsider their web policy, promoting substantial increases of the volume and quality of their electronic publications," it added.

The University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman came with a lead over De La Salle University Manila. This is the 12th time that UP Diliman has been hailed as the best university in the Philippines in the Webometrics. UPD also ranked as 1356th worldwide.

Also included on the top 10 are Ateneo de Manila University, UP System, St. Michael's College of Iligan City, University of Southeastern Philippines, University of Santo Tomas and Aquinas University.
