I don't mean the kind of education there, I mean the bloody tracheotomy word that I can't be bothered with. The thing is, you only encountered one student you been asking question about the word and it happened that she was puzzled. Then you started pointing that schools in provinces are rubbish. Be specific!

FYI, even if I have a comfy house, and hubby has got a great job here. I never think of just doing nothing, sitting pretty, and spending all his wages to shopping. Im still working my ass off and choose not to be a leech. And if I choose to be a madame, and be sitting all my life in my comfy house? so what? the hell you care?
And oh yes im helping my lil brothers and sisters in there, its me who send them to school. I don't need to be there to help, they know that they got my support.



Good for you. Goodluck! Hope the Philippines people will recognise your effort in the future. Who knows? and they might even put a statue of you in every school provinces.
how much of that cash are you reinvesting in the Philippines? other than your family. A total of 13 billion US dollars is sent back to the philippines every year by OFW's, 10 % of the PGNP if you know what that is dear. Where is it going?

The educational infrastructure here is capital starved, the Dep Ed allocates it's scarce resources by political means not by need. Students in the public schools have to pay for an electric fan for teacher, all project material costs, are forced to photo copy books as there are none for most of the tudents here, even in the City schools, I have done my research.

The Universities require payment for every special project, or in service, and students are required to pay up to 200 pesos (a lot for many) to attend a recreational concert or activity. If they do not, it goes against their academic record. They lack an adequate number qualified teachers.

Your out of touch, or just have forgotten how it is here.
