Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Monday, 15 April 2024 is Big Four (universities).
The Big Four refers to the top four universities in the Philippines: the University of the Philippines System (UP), Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU), De La Salle University (DLSU), and the University of Santo Tomas (UST), all located in Metro Manila — although UP is scattered across eight constituent universities, located in different parts of the Philippines.
The four universities are regarded as the most prestigious in the country, with admission being highly selective. Additionally, the four universities are the largest members of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, have long-established school rivalries, and are perennial champions in the league.
Many influential figures in the Philippines, such as politicians, artists, engineers, and journalists, have studied at these universities. Graduates of the Big Four are seen as more employable, with many companies preferring or prioritizing graduates from the four universities.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:11 UTC on Monday, 15 April 2024.
