(UPDATE) PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday admitted that 'much work is still to be done' after no Philippine university made it to the top 100 of the Times Higher Education's 2024 Asia University Rankings.

In his speech during the National Higher Education Day Summit at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City, Marcos acknowledged the stellar showing of the country's higher educational institutions (HEIs) in various world university rankings but stressed the need to improve the country's academic performance.
