Introduction
The Philippines (Filipino: Pilipinas), officially the Republic
of the Philippines (Republika ng Pilipinas; RP), is an archipelagic
nation located in Southeast Asia, with Manila as its capital
city. The Philippine archipelago comprises 7,107 islands in
the western Pacific Ocean, bordering countries such as Indonesia,
Malaysia, Palau and the Republic of China, although it is
the only Southeast Asian country to share no land borders
with its neighbors.
The Philippines is the world's 12th most populous country
with a population approaching 87 million people.
Its national economy is the 47th largest in the world with
a 2006 gross domestic product (GDP) of over US$117.562 billion.
There are more than 11 million overseas Filipinos worldwide,
about 11% of the total population of the Philippines.
The Philippines was formerly Spanish then an American colony.
The Philippine Revolution was an attempt to gain independence
from Spain, and later from the U.S. in the Philippine-American
War. The Philippines ultimately gained its independence from
the United States on July 4, 1946 after the Pacific War via
the Treaty of Manila.
Today, the Philippines has many affinities with the Western
world, derived mainly from the cultures of Spain, Latin America,
and the United States. Roman Catholicism became the predominant
religion, although pre-Hispanic indigenous religious practices
and Islam still exist. The two official languages of the Philippines
are Filipino and English.
Education in Philippines
In the Philippines, half of the foreign students come from
East Asia, particularly from China, Korea, and Taiwan, according
to the UNESCO. While lots of foreign students are found anywhere
in the world like in US, UK, Germany, France, Australia, or
Japan some cannot ignore studying in the Philippines.
Studying in the Philippines helped students not only to improve
English skills but also to become more of a global citizen.
Aside from Koreans, an increasing number of Americans, Koreans,
Taiwanese, Chinese, and other foreigners also pursue their
education in the country.
As the world's 3rd largest English-speaking nation, the Philippines
provides huge knowledge resources, up-to-date instruction,
and a multicultural learning atmosphere with its 93.9% literacy
rate. It is home to a number of ISO-certified universities
and 275 higher educational institutions identified as Centers
of Excellence and Centers of Development. There are also several
international schools in the Philippines which are on American,
British, German, Chinese, French, and Japanese educational
tracks.
The business and accounting schools in the country adhere
to the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) while
the engineering and marine schools are included in the APEC
Engineer Registry and International Maritime Organization
(IMO) white list. Students are also guaranteed of getting
training from more than 115, 000 teachers with master's and
doctorate degrees in the Philippines.
Studies also show that it is more affordable to study in the
Philippines compared with other countries offering high quality
education. It is because a person can live a modest lifestyle
by only spending US$350 to US$500 a month.
