PUP ranks 10th as the best university for Communications and Public Relations in the Philippines

Sta. Mesa, Manila — The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) was hailed as 10th best university for Communications and Public Relations in the Philippines based on research performance, as reported by the 2024 EduRank rankings by academic field.

The ranking was based on the research performance of various universities. A graph of 14.4k citations received by 2.49K academic papers made by 10 universities in the Philippines was used to calculate publications’ ratings which then were adjusted for release dates added to final scores.

In accordance with EduRank methodology, the selection of schools for Best Communication and Public Relations Schools in the Philippines wasn’t based on a specific selection process, but rather on the availability of data for research performance.

EduRank uses the number of citations and published academic papers in its rankings. Universities with active research programs in Communications and Public Relations are more likely to have data available for EduRank to analyze.

The independent metric-based ranking “EduRank.org” consists of 14,131 universities from 183 countries.

Meanwhile, PUP placed 14th out of 229 Philippine institutions and fifth among universities in Manila in Edurank’s February 2024 edition of the international university rankings.

CCP community grieves the loss of former Trustee Zenaida ‘Nedy’ Tantoco 

The Cultural Center of the Philippines, with its Board of Trustees, Management and employees, extends its deepest condolences to bereaved family and friends of its former Trustee Zenaida “Nedy” Tantoco, who passed away on February 8, 2024.

A top honcho in the luxury retail industry and a philanthropist, the late Tantoco has been part of the CCP Board of Trustees from 2002 until her resignation in 2021.

During her 19 years as CCP Trustee, her accomplishments were defined by her integrity and reliability, as well as her unwavering love and inspiring passion for arts and culture.

The indefatigable chairman and CEO of the Rustan Commercial Corporation and Stores Specialists, Inc had masterminded numerous fundraising efforts, putting her boundless energy for the benefit of the CCP, its resident companies, and employees.

She has raised funds for new musical instruments and regular repairs of musical instruments of the PPO musicians. She had been instrumental in bringing the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) to the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York.

An impresario of opera in the Philippines, Tantoco had also underwritten several CCP productions, including the opera productions in recent years including Gaetano Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore (The Elixir of Love) in 2017, Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor in 2020, and Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot in 2022, among others.

A staunch supporter of the arts, Tantoco’s legacy will persist at the Cultural Center of the Philippines long into the future.

The CCP and the art community in general grieves the loss of a strong ally in pursuing cultural endeavors and promoting artistic excellence. May her soul rest in peace and rise in glory.

PUP Education on Wheels provides learning opportunities to underprivileged youth

The project is truly living up to PUP’s reputation of giving people a chance at a quality education regardless of their stature.

 

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines’ (PUP) Education on Wheels is a project that caters to the educational needs of out-of-school youth in various places. This project aims to give everyone more learning opportunities and ensure that more people get access to education, regardless of their background.

“The EOW has been part of the vision of our Sintang Paaralan, to make education accessible and of quality. It is ongoing and has benefited the youth in Smokey Mountain,” PUP President Manuel Muhi proudly shares.

The Education on Wheels also seeks to expand nationwide, seeking out underprivileged youths – truly living up to PUP’s reputation of giving people a chance at a quality education regardless of their stature.

“The goal is straightforward: to bring education to those who cannot afford it, right at their doorstep. This would not have been possible without the generous contributions of our donors, all of whom shared the same vision of educating the next generation,” Muhi explains.

The Education on Wheels has 65 students with a Bachelor of Science in Office Administration. Their courses are TESDA inclined, which guarantees them a job after two years of education.
