Philip Wong Yu-hong, GBS (Chinese: 黃宜弘; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: N̂g Gî-hông; born 23 December 1938, Quanzhou, Fujian, China). He is a legislator in Hong Kong as a member of the legislative council (Functional constituencies, Commercial (Second) and a representative of the National People's Congress.
On the Legislative council website, Wong is listed to have a Master of Science from the University of California, Berkeley, a Ph.D in engineering from the California Coast University, and a Juris Doctor from Southland University.
Share market analyst and Hong Kong activist, David Webb, requested an investigation be launched to check for his possible improper academic credentials. Nothing has come from Webb's request.
The University of California credentials passed muster as well as California Coast University's. California Coast University's bulletin states that it "does not require formal, on-campus residence or classroom attendance" because it is an online-only school accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council. DETC specializes in the accreditation of online-only institutions and is a recognized accrediting body of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Wong did receive the engineering degree from California Coast University on 27 August 1984. However, Southland University is no longer in existence.
