Orientation in Dominican School Manila


Today Hani and the other friend came to pick us up, so when I walked with Hana I asked her “Are we going to UST first?” Cause our supervisor told us that today we’re going to our assigned school, the Dominican School. Well, that was actually a mistake, my roommate and the thomasian had miscommunication cause we were actually instructed to be picked up at 8.45 am by our supervisor luckily we met them across the street, so we’re coming with them to the Dominican school. The first person we met is the security guard ”the kuya” kuya is how we call older guys in filipino. We met with the sister, and the vice principal we were talking about education in Indonesia, and the education in the Philippines, then we met with our cooperating teacher, but we haven’t got time to talk with our cooperating teacher cause they still have class, the vice principal, Mr. Kenny showed us around the school, we went upstair to the second floor, we went to the teacher’s office and to the library I love how the library is so comfortable, there’s a part of the room for the nursery which there are cute seats for them, and the other part they have a pair of seat around for student to discuss, I think and there’s another space outside with leaves hanging on the wall to make it look nature.








After that Mam Cordura asked us to go to library in Education Building, the library is in the left at the corner on first floor, she said that UST used to have Elementary School, but it closed around 2011 I am not so sure why, but the library still have the design for elementary student. The library provide internet accessible and to print papers.

Last Friday my student Erin said “ You’ll see my big luggage on Monday!” Well just as soon as I arrived in Dominican, Many Kuya came back and forth to get the big luggage to every classes and not for long until I noticed that there’s written name of the kuya that responsible for bringing their luggage on it. I need to wait for Mam Prado because She got stuck in a traffic, She arrived at class immediately and started the class with praying and tell the students to arrange their seats cause their friends is going to practice the Dulaang Kamang in front of the class. Mam Prado showed me the things she brought to school, She said she brings a lot green pens “ What pen color do you use in Indonesia?” “ Is it red?” She added “ We use green pens now, cause I read that the red pens make the student feel down especially when they failed” “We’ll go upstairs Mam Icha” She smiled. So I came to grade 5- Humility after break time with Mam Prado, It’s a Filipino class so, the stud

Waking up to horn sound of those vehicles and this city vibe is never really my  thing, but start from now I’ll be living here for a month, in Manila the capital city of the Philippines.
