THE ASEAN UNIVERSITY NETWORK
The ASEAN University Network was formed to speed up the development of a regional identity and solidarity and promote human resources development in our region.It's a list of Southeast Asia's Top Universities and was drafted in 1992 and founded in 1995 by ASEAN member countries. This is in declaration to promote ASEAN awareness and in preparation of the eventual establishment of the ASEAN University based on its member countries. It's another step towards the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015. Here’s the list:
Universiti Brunei Darussalam
Yangon Institute of Economics, Burma
University of Yangon, Burma
Royal University of Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Universitas Indonesia
Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia
National University of Laos
Universiti Sains Malaysia
Universiti Malaya, Malaysia
University of the Philippines
De La Salle University-Manila, Philippines
National University of Singapore
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Burapha University, Thailand
Chulalongkorn University, Thailand *Yipeeee!*
Vietnam National University in Ha Noi, Vietnam
Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The AUN preamble states the promotion of Human Resource... Ok, does it mean that we have better chances of being hired in other ASEAN countries if we graduated from an AUN member university? – the answer is a resounding “yes”.
TAKE THAT!

Yep, but the Myanmar Junta crackdown is spelling doom to the ASEAN (Economic) Community / Integration...
Check this interesting report I just found a few minutes ago: http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view_article.php?article_id=92627
I don't want to say it, but me and my colleagues were discussing about the growing possibility that the ASEAN will fail... it is so hard to admit, but that article I linked above said it all.
Will fail where? On the Burmese issue? Yeah maybe. But not as an organization.
To hell with those juntas. Big brother America will do something soon about it anyway. But of course our Burmese brothers will have to suffer the consequence.
Thanks for the input Laibeus. Aren't you going to party tonite? It's like almost 10 in Manila, right? Go party dude!
In my humble opinion ASEAN should match its words with action and suspend Myanmar from the organization. We should show our displeasure about what the generals are doing in "Asia's Zimbabwe." And their actions shouldn't have to be associated with us all. *sigh*
On a happier note, i'm glad La Salle is a participant in the ASEAN University Network! ANIMO! :))
@ Carlos...Go LaSalle! Go! Go! LaSalle, LaSalle! Wooohooo! I laways hear this from my noisy neighbors. LOL
I would agree to suspend Burma in the ASEAN. But I personally will go for more drastic action.
Invade Burma and give it back to the people.
*Sigh* I really do despair for the Burmese, how they are ever going to throw off their rulers. Tsk.
And I notice you use the name Burma, and not "Myanmar." So a name-change by an illegitimate government makes the new name illegitimate too huh? ;)
Hey wow, you even know our cheers! Most impressive indeed! Plus very good timing on your part, since LaSalle just won the Philippines' University Athletic Association basketball championship yesterday. LOL. :)
Aung San Suu Kyi calls her country Burma. Never Myanmar.
Oh... I see. Doubtless its for the same reason. I myself think the British "Burma" sounds better.
Thanks!
Wow im glad that Philippines has two representative in this partnership. well deserved universities. thanks to this post. i really like the content.
