HOW TO SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS ON HOLIDAYS  

By Teacher Jelle 


Holidays in the Philippines are treasured moments filled with laughter, food, and heartfelt connection — seasons where friendships are celebrated like family and traditions shine with joy and unity.

One of the most anticipated holidays is New Year’s Day, bursting into life with fireworks, festive meals, and hopeful cheers. After midnight, friends often exchange warm wishes, eat leftovers from Media Noche (a grand midnight feast), and visit one another’s homes for a salubong — a joyful welcome to the year ahead.  

In January, the Sinulog Festival in Cebu comes alive not just as a religious event, but as a colorful celebration of friendship and heritage. Friends join parades, dance to the rhythm of drums, wear vibrant costumes, and paint each other’s faces for fun. At the heart of the festival is Santo Niño — the Child Jesus — a symbol of faith, innocence, and divine protection.   

Each celebration is more than a date — it’s a living memory shared. As Filipinos, we carry pakikisama — a deep sense of harmony and connection. And during the holidays, that spirit glows brightest. Because in our culture, presence is the most precious present.

Introduction of new banknotes
    By Teacher Yen



Cash Back in Time: Philippine Banknotes Got Their Glow-Up                                   

When visiting the Philippines, you’ll quickly notice something special about the cash in your pocket—it’s colorful, full of faces and landmarks you might not recognize, and packed with stories that go far beyond their monetary value. But Philippine banknotes aren’t just pieces of currency—they’re pieces of history, culture, and national pride. From vintage portraits to sleek modern designs, these bills are like mini postcards from the past and present. 

High-Tech Bills, Filipino Style 

Modern Philippine banknotes—especially the new polymer ones—include: 

•See-through windows with native flora designs 

•Color-shifting ink and detailed print patterns 

•Tactile marks to help people with visual impairments 

•Holographic features that add both style and security 

These changes make our currency not just smarter, but also more inclusive and visually engaging. By evolving its currency, the Philippines is blending tradition with technology, security with sustainability, and legacy with a forward-looking vision.

What I want to do in Japan
By Teacher Vien


Japan has always been at the top of my travel list. There's something about the mix of tradition and modernity that draws me in. If I ever get the chance to visit, here's what I'd love to experience. 

• Visit Kyoto's temples. 
Next, I'd head to Kyoto to see the Golden Pavilion and walk through the famous red gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine. I've always wanted to experience the serenity of Kyoto, especially during cherry blossom season. 

• See Mount Fuji. 
I've always dreamed of seeing Mount Fuji. I'd love to get a perfect view of it from Kawaguchiko Lake, surrounded by nature. 

• Relax in an Onsen. 
Finally, after all the exploring, I'd unwind in an Onsen, soaking in the natural minerals while taking in Japan's beautiful landscapes. 
There's so much to look forward to in Japan, and I can't wait to dive into everything it offers. Whether it's the food, the culture, or the stunning nature, I know this will be an unforgettable journey.

・the Golden Pavilion: 金閣寺

・serenity : 静けさ、のどかさ

・surrounded : 囲まれた(surroundの過去分詞系)

My Volunteer Work: A Journey of Teaching and Learning

By: Teacher Gee 


During my time at university, I was given the opportunity to participate in a community extension program, a volunteer work experience that I will forever cherish. Little did I know that this would shape my perspective on teaching, community, and personal growth in ways I could never have imagined. 

What made this program unique was that it wasn’t just about teaching them the lessons but about understanding their individual needs, finding ways to make the material accessible, and creating an environment where they felt safe to ask questions and explore.

My time as a volunteer reminded me that sometimes, the smallest gestures—like offering a helping hand or sharing a lesson—can make a world of difference. This experience was a reminder that teaching is not just about academics but about building relationships, understanding the person in front of you, and fostering a sense of belonging and community. It was an experience that not only shaped my teaching philosophy but also deepened my understanding of the world around me. 


~重要単語~

・cherish: 大事にする、宝物
・perspective : 考え方、見方(perspective on teaching : 教育観)
・explore : 探求する、調査する
・fostering : 育む、世話する(fosterの現在分詞)
・philosophy : 哲学

CEBU’S SOUL ON THE 
Discovering the beauty behind the chaos
By: Teacher Che



 

Traffic... Scorching heat and dripping sweat... 

Crowded and noisy streets... 

 

These are the first things that come to mind when people think of the streets of Cebu. You can hear constant shouts of jeepney conductors, feel the sweat from the rush of people squeezing into overstuffed jeeps, and see the frustration of commuters caught in traffic. 

 

But hidden in this chaotic scene is something most don’t see. It's the quiet smile in the eyes of the passengers when they find that tiny space inside the jeepney to stand or sit on. They endure, squeeze, and adapt, not because they have to, but because this is the way of life. They embrace it with certain joy and understanding, knowing that this is the life they’ve come to love, this is Cebu. 

 

No matter where you're going, Cebu has a ride that fits your style. These are just some of the lively sounds that echo through the busy streets of Cebu. These are the snippets of everyday chatter that capture the Cebu City life.

Dry Season

By: Teacher Rose



There are only two seasons in the Philippines: the wet season and the dry season. The dry season officially lasts from December to May. However, March through May is the hottest and driest season in our nation, so we sometimes refer to it as "summer." Because Cebu has so many lovely beaches, people usually go swimming during these months, but for me, I most enjoy seeing waterfalls.

 Experiencing this natural splash of water will forever be one of my most precious snapshots, a stash of time. The experience of a waterfall hitting my skin and affecting my entire body was the most rejuvenating therapy, even though the journey, the heat, the steep slope, and the danger of every step I took may be a little stressful at times. The time is always worthwhile. 

What about you? What do you look forward to doing in summer? Hope you can add our country to your bucket list! Come and visit Cebu, where the adventure doesn’t stop at the beaches! Leave no trace and discover hidden gems and cascading waterfalls that will leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed.



～重要単語～
・stash：隠し場所（stash of time: 時間の隠し場所）
・entire：全体の(entire body: 全身)
・rejuvenating：若返らせる、 元気を回復させる
・worthwhile：時間と労力をかけるだけの値打ちのある、価値がある
・bucket list：バケットリスト（死ぬまでにしたいことをリスト化したもの）
