The law-school scam reaches the Philippines?

Manila, one of the largest cities in the world, is home to an über-toilet law school that has been ordered by the Legal Education Board to close down. Specifically, the University of Manila College of Law can no longer operate because, according to the article, "the college failed to meet prescribed curriculum and academic requirements, performed poorly in the Bar Exams, and lacked adequate facilities and resources".

This law school was ordered to close its doors in June of last year, but it continues to accept new students. Enrolling there is quite unsafe: the LEB has reminded the public that it does not recognize the law school, so presumably a graduate might not be eligible for admission to the bar.

Unlike the pusillanimous, scam-enabling ABA, the LEB seems willing to take on what must be a prominent university. It is well known that numerous law schools in the US exhibit all of the defects listed above and more (something tells me that the U of Manila doesn't offer courses on law & hip-hop or publish self-indulgent crapola about The Open Road), yet hardly ever does the ABA do anything about them.
