Abstract: This study examines the transnational higher education in the Philippines using sequential exploratory mixed design based on document analysis, and tools to conduct cross-sectional survey. The survey was developed and standardized interview was adopted where results were transcribed and coded for emerging themes. Four research questions guided this study: 1) What are the motives of international mobility of students? 2) What are the problems met by Filipino international students; 3) What actions taken by SUCs to address concerns of mobile students; and 4) What recommendations can be offered to better enhance the transnational higher education in the Philippines. The results exhibited challenges still persist that hinder transnational higher education programs, notwithstanding the long-term consequences of COVID-19. Most SUCs included internationalization in institution’s policies and plans to be compliant with the SUC levelling, quality assurance assessments and responding to the ASEAN regional integration. Adoption of open and distance learning (ODL) as part, or an alternative modality of internationalization of higher education under RA 11448 is timely and pragmatic.
