VISA-Student Permitt

To make Visa/Student Permitt, we must go to the Immigration office in Manila. Because the distance is 5-6 hours, we have to be ready at 3:00 am to arrive in Manila at 09:00 am, when the immigration office is just opened. That day was a day we didn't expect at all. Because we had to pay 4720 PHP for the Student Permitt at the Bureau of Immigration of the Philippines in Manila. At first we thought we would not pay for a visa because we would not stay in the Philippines for more than 30 days. But apparently we were still asked to make Visa/Student Permitt.

Another tragedy also is when my ATM card couldn't make a transactions at any bank in Philippines at that time. Luckily my friend was kind enough to lend me some money for my card can be used for transactions.

From 08:00 pm to 15:00 am we are at the immigration office and get ready to go home to Tarlac Agricultural University. But before that we had to pick up one of the ELIA leaders at Commission on Higher Education, Manila. We waited for 2 hours then go back to TAU. What a long day.

Closing Program

Four weeks just passed. We have united for a month. At the closing of the program we gave souvenirs to the Tarlac Agricultural University and TAU-Lab School. Also to the Cooperating Teachers and Supervisors, the staff who have helped us while living in the Philippines. "On the first day we count down the time to return back home, but at the end of the program we naively re-count the day from the beginning until the day we are reunited". Thank you!

Practice Teaching & Class Observation

A week goes by with so many agendas from getting a Visa/Student Permitt, opening the program, to having dinner together. The second week quite different, it was filled with an introductory to the education system in Philippines. We have a tour and shown various laboratories that they used in the learning and teaching process. We were also taught to make lesson plans and exchange information related to differences in the education system implemented in Indonesia and Philippines. Indonesia applies the K-13 curriculum while Philippines applies a curriculum called k to 12. From the terms used they are almost similar but the application is different. Indonesia and K-13 apply the concept of learning more easily because some of the material is streamlined and narrowed down but it is still adjusted to international standard learning materials so that the education can be balanced with foreign education. Philippines with k to 12 is designed to provide holistic education for all Filipino s...
