Wow! A visit to the Philippines after 23 long years! I’m sure Dagupan looked alien to you already by then.. hehe.

As I told you, there are other schools here who have offered Mandarin but not quite successfully: Ednas School, La Marea Academy. Okay, I will try to research and then email you.

Thats awesome that PUI is making Mandarin classes available to the public. What are the other schools that are offering Mandarin? I’m putting together a list of all secondary schools, colleges and universities that offer Mandarin for Filipinos in the Philippines who wish to study the language in their respective provinces and soon post it on the internet.

Thank you for the insight and keep in touch. Small world indeed!

This coming summer, PUI is offering Mandarin classes. I think it’s open to all. Chinese teachers from mainland China and Taiwan will be teaching, so you can be guaranteed genuine Mandarin instruction.

Magallanes Merchandise along Galvan and Rivera? I will look into it next time I do my marketing. So you are also based here in Dagupan?

Thanks for the visit, Ken!

And this is what I hated most with our government and politicians: that intelligent and bright kids can not pursue that dream where he/she would excel because the government does not provide the opportunity to realize it ; that both parents and kids have to undergo the anguish of seeing once dream go unfulfilled because of economic debacle that these people in the government puts on its citizenry.

Except for that dream, you kid is still very lucky as compared to the rest.

May God Bless you both.

I can also remember the uncertainties I felt when I was graduating from high school. So many life changing decisions at such an early age. On the other hand, my oldest son, who’s also graduating in a few months already knew what he wanted and what school to go to 3-4 years ago. He’s gonna follow his dreams.
