The Philippines is an archipelago made up of 7,460 islands. Manila, its capital, is known as the "Pearl of the Orient." This city is full of historic buildings, museums, parks, theaters, shopping malls, and countless delicious restaurants to dine at (National Geographic, 2019).

Other places to visit include:

Davao City: This is the largest city in the Philipines and is home to many significant landmarks such as Eden Nature Park, Malagos Garden Resort, and Mount Apo. Mount Apo is the highest mountain in the Philippines, with its highest peak being at an elevation of 2,954 meters (National Geographic, 2019).

Chocolate Hills: Located on the island of Bohol, the famed Chocolate Hills are a natural formation that slowly took shape ages ago. They're a popular tourist spot in the summer because when the peaked mounds aren't covered in green vegetation, they look just like giant pieces of chocolate. The Chocolate Hills was nominated for the status of National Geological Monument by the Philippines in 1988 (National Geographic, 2019).

El Nido: This island is home to gorgeous rock formations, beautiful beaches, and clear aquamarine waters; El Nido is on the northern tip of mainland Palawan and is considered by some as the "best island in the world" (Escalona, 2021)

In the interview with Hannah's cousin Caroline, she responded, "Since the classes are pretty big, sometimes class management is difficult. Most teachers are pretty strict, and if a student is persistently unruly, they will be sent to the discipline's office. Teachers do give students warnings, and grades are also affected by attendance and behavior in class" (Pao, 2021).

For this project, Hannah interviewed her cousin, who spent time going to school in the Philippines. According to her, "Most classes are pretty full, with about 30-40 students. The teacher mainly lectures, and students take notes. There are times when the teacher asks questions, and students are required to answer and vice versa, but in the schools in the Philippines, most subject matters are memorization work. Memorizing definitions of terms and theories and being able to recite them or define them on written tests" (Pao, 2021).

Since America occupied the Philippines, the education system is modeled after the one we have in the United States. Filipino students are required to attend six years of primary school and four years of secondary school. They also urge all students to attend four years of college. A difference is that an academic school year in the United States runs for forty weeks, starting in early September and ending in June. In the Philippines, the school year is a little longer and runs from June until the following May (Study Country, 2021).
