Do you think the culture of private schools in the Philippines affect the students' love for their country?
Do you think the culture of private schools in the Philippines affect the students' love for their country?
The culture of private schools in the Philippines means being more western and discriminating the lower classes.

Unfortunately,there's a fallacy on that view. A lot of our countrymen working overseas are Westernized to some degree; however, it didn't affect their love and loyalty to the Philippines. In the school context, Filipinos were never taught about discriminate, prejudice, or apartheid.
2 :
Government schools face too many problems. The quality of education had been compromised. Imagine a class with 60 above students per class. A public school teacher teaching a lot of subjects, not just one or two but more in different levels. Imagine a student with no chair and table to sit into. No books to read.. etc..etc..etc. Can you blame parents to enroll their kids in a private school? I don't think so, enrolling your child to a school that you think can give the child quality education is not and should not be considered as "being western" and "discriminating" other kids who are in "lower classes". Private schools teach what is also taught in public schools. Their curriculum is the same as that of the public schools because they still monitored by the government. Being in private school for me has nothing to do with you being a Filipino affecting your love for the country.

if you're saying that the culture of private schools affect their love for the country, i think it would be more appropriate to say that it affects their love for their countrymen. it's not the fault of the school alone. you see, it's in everybody's nature. i think everyone has a proud side who wants to look better than anyone else. well, who the hell in this world had never felt (even for a second) that s/he is better than someone else?

sorry but i may be biased since i've always studied in private schools. here's my answer anyway: Honestly, i must admit that i've met a lot of people who put fellow filipinos down, pero wala naman sa pinagaralan yun eh, nasa kinalakihan. most of my friends in ateneo are very idealistic, everyone wanting to change the country AND ACTUALLY STAY IN IT. first of all, there's a difference saying that people are western and discriminatory because of their education or if it's because of their upbringing. i think upbringing is the answer. in fact, ateneo has so many programs that aim to make us more nationalistic. one of them is that, to be able to graduate, you have to do blue collar jobs/stay with a native community for a couple of weeks in fourth year, along with a wide array of charity and social work for the whole of your 3 years before that. but no matter what it does, hindi niya mababago ang mga ugaling kinasanayan na ng iilan. kung pinalaki kang spoiled, no school can change that.

YES, not entirely because of the schools themselves but because of their upbringing. Those who afford to study in Philippine private schools are themselves the upper and middle class descendants of illustrados, Spanish mestizos, Chinese entrepreneurs, and indigenous royalty. And we all very well know that these groups historically tended to side with the colonizers more than to the native Filipinos. Manuel Quezon to his Spanish friends: "As long as this Castilian stands (referring to himself), NO Indian Malay (a.k.a. Indio, referring to unmixed Filipinos) shall command". This has been carried over to many private schools. La Salle and Ateneo up to the 1970s were largely populated by Spanish Mestizos, as were Assumption, Poveda, Kostka, and International School Manila. Fortunately, both La Salle and Ateneo, after being "infiltrated" by indigenous Filipinos, have reinstated requirements for serving lower income families before being able to graduating. So the students do them begrudgingly. English speaking people (konyo) predominate in private schools and everyone knows that since language is based on the state of mind of a person, he is less nationalistic and thus have less love for the country. Most even have parents who tell them not to speak Filipino, "because it is the language of the katulong and the yaya" (from my classmate). I know how the culture of Private Schools create a barrier between the rich and the poor Filipinos, because I studied in Private School all my life - after my graduation from Elementary, I knew every detail of American History from Sacagawea to the Sta. Anna but I didn't know who Raha Humabon is. Now, who is still brave enough to say that Private Schools don't make nationalistic fervor down the dumps? :)

What is the best way to send money to Philippines?
What is the best way to send money to Philippines?
not western union, lbc or moneygram etc I am a student that will be studying in the Philippines soon. I have a parent with a separate Citibank account in the U.S. that automatically has funds transferred there every 2 weeks and is not linked to any automatic withdrawals or anything. Citibank though charges $8 for international transfers and $30 for wires. My question is.... Is there an automatic and cheaper method of sending money from the U.S. to a bank account (BPI,Citi,BDO) in the Philippines with any other company/bank?

You can try Western Union. You can receive the money in less than an hour. They charge minimal fee. However, get the dollar remittance, do not have them convert it to pesos since they have a low exchange rate. Go to any money exchange for the conversion of your dollars to peso. SM Malls have Western Union branches inside the mall and you can exchange your dollars at SM. Just ask the guard where their money changer is inside the department store and supermarket. This way you get your money's worth.
