Thanks a lot for the comprehensive explanation.
I'd also cross check with the school where my daughter goes later.
She's going to a private school so there will be a little difference as you mentioned,
neverthless I'm curious with the general expectation.
Since both parent are foreigners the Filipino subject is quite problematic for her.
She joins the Intensiv English Program in her school now while trying to learn Filipino slowly.
I supposed she'd probably stay in a private school for this reason.
How about the requirements for college / university here?
Is Filipino a compulsory subject?
