Episode 9 - Filipino Education is in Trouble

…at least where we are. Last episode we talked about how much the Filipino language impacts our lives. This episode, we hear the impact earlier Filipino immigrants had as Tita Josie tells how she helped build a province-wide Filipino language curriculum FROM SCRATCH which was eventually certified by the government. Plus, learn about some Filipino language resources you might’ve never heard of. Currently, though, Filipino education is in trouble since many significant obstacles threaten its growth. Despite this, our awesome guests aren't backing down and are looking for more people to rise above the challenge – including, perhaps, you. Prefer to watch a video?
