(FEU), STI Education Systems Holdings Inc. (STI), Centro Escolar University (CEU), Phinma Corp., and iPeople Inc.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese five entities have been living up to tougher corporate governance principles and guidelines compared to other private education firms not listed on the PSE,\u201d Romulo pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are encouraging other private, non-sectarian school operators to offer their shares of stock to the public and list on the PSE, so that they may also enjoy access to fresh capital that would enable them to improve and expand their services,\u201d Romulo, chairman of the House committee on higher and technical education said.<\/p>\n

PSE-listed corporations are able to raise funds by selling new shares of stock or bonds to many potential investors.<\/p>\n
