What a nice tour! Beautiful neighborhood and it's great that they encourage a positive learning environment

[@jessiesantiago7994]

I am impressed and surprised that there is an International school in Iloilo. I admire the founder of that school. I really enjoy this kind of video that showcases worthwhile public information unbeknown to people outside of the area. Kudos to you guys.

[@checkthelogic]

I wasn’t expecting the international either!

[@tristan605]

Aside from Santa Clarita International School, Iloilo has St. Robert's International College, Georgia International Academy, The Great International School, and Brilliant Mind International School. But those are just small schools. Most of the top schools are Catholic and Chinese Academies and Universities.

[@jrap170]

Those international schools are now closed bankrupt like rest of the malls here

[@andrewbaxterestante3358]

I went to Santa Clarita international while my family and I had a longer vacation in iloilo before heading back to Canada. I had incredible teachers and had such a great time meeting other international students there.

[@smartbiz888]

That school is cutting edge! I did a practicum for a year in a grade school in Pirmasens, Germany back in the 80s as part of a Master's program with Boston University... I was working on a degree in psychology and boy oh boy, it was an eye-opening experience... Needless to say, the military sponsored school was not on the level of this school! It was a good operation though... The degree I completed back then opened the door to teaching as an adjunct professor for 10 years in 3 overseas programs with colleges and universities in Germany... This tour takes me back Haha... The cost for this school is likely high, but the value is priceless for the children IMO... Thanks for the tour, it's nice to see that strides in education can be developed anywhere in this big world! I look forward to getting over there and contributing as possible to the community I end up in... Good session guys! 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍

[@smartbiz888]

By the way, I was doing this stuff while in the Army... The education and experience I gained has been used in the 25 years in military service and since for 25+ years as a civilian... In the Corporate world and as an entrepreneur having access to quality education and learning how to apply the lessons in real life is useful... Schools like this are crucial to opening the eyes of kids to what is possible... It can be scaled to other areas too, IMO... Perhaps not to the degree they've been able to there, but most certainly a bit... Again, good stuff you two! Enjoyed this episode... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎😅

[@artvandelay409]

Cutting edge? It looked like the schools we had here in Canada in the mid-1970's.

[@wahoowahoo2341]

​@@artvandelay409 I agtee . Canada is RICH... Philippines is Sooo Poor Country 😂😅😂

[@smartbiz888]

​@@artvandelay409I'd say you must have been in an area with nothing but high worth folks and budgets to match... Could be... I've been in neighborhoods and areas with all ranges of economic conditions, and believe me, what I've seen makes the school toured in this video look pretty darn good... I guess it's all relative...TomAto or ToMAWto... Let's also consider what schools are intended to accomplish... IMO the main job these days is to get the kids to know about basic life skills in addition to the cutting edge stuff covered (on top of the basic Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic stuff)... This school is doing that in spades... I compare that to the schools I've worked in and attended as a kid and again IMO they're doing a darn good job... 🤔🤔🤔

[@i-am-your-conscience]

What could be also interesting for you - at least I would be interested in it! - there is a Waldorf School near Iloilo. I dont know if Canadians are familiar with Waldorf Schools, but it is some kind of school with german origins that have some different kind of approach to teaching & learning. A bit like Montessori, but different. Maybe you can visit this too. It is called "Gamot Cogon Waldorf School" in Zarraga, Iloilo. I only know another Waldorf School in the Philippines, but I dont know the one in Iloilo. So I think this could be quite interesting. For people who dont know that kind of schools it might be very new and different. Maybe you visit. I would be happy as I look for a place for my offspring ;) :D

Hello I'm form santa clarita and I was in a video for the first time at 1:54

[@BiancaBeyond]

Hello 👋

[@DoniCato]

Several schools in the Philippines hv speech labs. Xavier High School in Greenhills, Ortigas Avenue has speech labs. Same for La Salle etc. In fact, Xavier has 2 football fields, lots of basketball courts, ping pong tables, pelota courts n lap pools for 15-20 people n other sports!!! Xavier also has the IB diploma program, a tough program which is much, much difficult than the AP courses. Shoutout fr Wall Street, Manhattan!!!

[@BiancaBeyond]

I don't think these schools are in Iloilo? What city are you referring to?

[@denillearenga7274]

almost all private schools and universities merong speech lab. nag aaral ako sa central Philippine university sa iloilo 2003 2001 meron din speech lab.

We have a land there, a corner lot. It's near that school. No house yet cause we are still working here in the US. Mang Inasal owner Injap has a house near the club house.

Yes we saw apparently they don't live there but keep it for when they are in town. We can see they have tons of staff there . Great place to have land

[@Joepoe20041]

In high school in Cebu in 1968 we had a speech lab in Cebu Institute of Technology now a University. It was so cold in that room that I have to wear a sweater.

[@Joepoe20041]

These students are well-off. If you live in that subdivision and you have a driver you are rich in the Philippines.

[@BiancaBeyond]

As they mentioned the school sponsors children from poor families for example they had 46 out of 300 students given scholarships there prior to pandemic

[@groundbreakingtherapies4535]

In the video it mentions that the school sponsored I think 47 students. I assume sponsored children wouldn't have a driver?

[@BiancaBeyond]

@@groundbreakingtherapies4535 not sure why anyone would expect a free driver that no paid kid gets paid by the school? The girls family situation has nothing to do with the school helping others

Its a wonderful school and kudos to it, sadly I can't help feeling for the non exclusive school children who's families in a million years could hardly send their children to an ordinary school not to mention even being considered for a school like this even if they had money, any chance you can show the real life of people and their families there, please don't misunderstand me, its a really good video but not a true representation of Filo school kids which I know it was never intended to be, thankyou

[@BiancaBeyond]

I'm sure you appreciated the part where they talked about giving full scholarships to the poor in large numbers

[@groundbreakingtherapies4535]

47 non-exclusive children sponsored maybe tells a story about how much the school tries to help everyone?

[@zackparker7756]

Mike and Bianca...Thanks for another informative vid...Based on your past blogs...Seems like some affordable housing is somewhat difficult to find in Iloilo? If you do not mind? Housing for single expat in the 20 to sub 20 php per month range. Is it available? 1 to 2 bedrooms...Subdivision, apartment or condo. Many of us are just single guys.

[@BiancaBeyond]

Yes definitely, not so much the condos in the desired area but definitely. I'll keep that in mind

[@Phil-Am_in_the_Philippines]

[@groundbreakingtherapies4535]

[@buckeyeadventures1631]

All of the books are an opportunity for an expat to engage with the poor communities and pass out the reading material... I"m sure they would love it.

[@BiancaBeyond]

Trying to understand your comment, but assuming you meant the pile of books, yes each year they give away the books you saw stacked up to the schools and community who do not have the money to buy books

Yes, the books are given away every year. Sometimes a Barangay ( a village) is able to create their first library

[@artvandelay409]

It is extremely rare to see Central air in a home in the Philippines. In America and Canada, homes are built with heating ducts to heat the house during the winter. Central air is added after the homes are built and fed through the heating ducts of course. In the Philippines, homes are not built with heating ducts for obvious reasons and therefore Central air can't be added.
