GMA News
Dr. Mely Caballero-Anthony has recently been promoted to full professor status in one of the best universities in Asia, earning her accolades from the Philippine Embassy in Singapore.
Ambassador Joseph Del Mar Yap called Anthony a "global Filipina" who made her mark in Singapore, one of the "centers of academic excellence in Asia and in the rest of the world."
"Dr. Caballero-Anthony’s achievement will surely inspire and pave the way for more Filipino professors to achieve the same recognition,” Yap said.
Anthony's promotion to full professor at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) was also cited by Education Minister Ong Ye Kung in his speech at the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit 2018.
Kung said Anthony was recognized for her work outside of the university and "for her work in chairing the United Nations Advisory Board on Disarmament matters in 2016, and having served as the Director of External Relations at the ASEAN Secretariat."
Anthony heads NTU’s Center of Non-Traditional Security Studies (NTS) and teaches at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS).
Prior to her work in Singapore, Anthony finished her BA and MA in Political Science in the University of the Philippines and her PhD in Political Science at the University of Hong Kong.
