MANILA, Philippines - A glamor model who got linked to a rape rumor involving members of the Philippine Azkals national football team did not graduate with an Applied Physics degree from the University of the Philippine in Diliman, a university official said Monday.

Amanda Coling took up BS Applied Physics but transferred to another course in the university, according to Jethro Salapare, acting college secretary at the UP College of Science.

"Ms. Wynnel Amanda Coling (Wynnel Joy Coling) is NOT a graduate of ANY degree programs offered by the College of Science, UP Diliman. Thank you," Salapare said in a Facebook post.

The Office of the College Secretary (OCS) is responsible for the accuracy and safekeeping of undergraduate student academic records. It is also tasked with administering undergraduate student services such as students' admission, readmission, shifting, leave of absence, registration, dropping, disqualification, and graduation.

The OCS also takes charge of identifying undergraduate University and College Scholars every semester and certifies the graduation of undergraduate students with honors.

"She (Coling) was a former BS Applied Physics student in UP Diliman... then 1st sem AY 2007-2008, she transferred to Library Science also in UP Diliman," he said.

"I dunno na what happened after that," he added.

"She's a CS student... then transferred to ILIS. Basta wala syang degree na nakuha sa CS... madami dami din sya nakuhang Physics subjects," Salapare clarified.

Coling made the rounds in entertainment gossip shows on Sunday over the rumors linking her to the alleged rape incident.

'I am the alleged victim'

She neither confirmed nor denied the rumor and said she will issue an official statement through her lawyer on Monday.

"Ako iyung alleged na biktima (I am the alleged victim)," she said in one show.

Coling said she wanted to keep mum on the rumor linking her to the reported rape incident until one tabloid writer approached her.

"Nagpakilala siya as a sports writer from some peryodiko. He wanted to interview me daw. I was thinking, 'bakit lawyer ka ba?" she said.

"My friends were telling me don't trust anyone. You don't know who this guy is," she added.

She has not accused the Azkals of any wrongdoing and refused to comment on the alleged incident.

Condom promo show

Coling surfaced last week not to accuse the Azkals members of rape but to cry foul over being removed from the roster of a condom promo show allegedly because of the issue.

Her legal counsel, lawyer Apollo Sangalang, said the model was pulled out "because of the issue the management has heard about."

She has also come out in support of the national football team and said she wants the Azkals to beat Kuwait in their FIFA World Cup qualifying clash later this week.

"I have high regard for the team Azkals for bringing pride to our country and popularizing football," she said.
