Is there an enrollment fee for students in the Philippines?
Do public schools charge an enrollment fee? What about uniforms, are they mandatory in public schools? What about tests and exams, is there also a fee for these? I heard that both public and private elementary and high schools both have these fees. Is this true?

As far as I know, public elementary and high schools no longer collect tuition fees. Unfortunately, there may be other fees that the teachers might ask guardians or parents to pay. About uniforms, there are prescribed uniforms in every public school (female: white shirt or blouse and a specific color of pleated skirt, male: brown/khaki shorts or pants and white shirt or polo shirt, and black pair shoes of course) but I think some elementary schools, especially in remote areas, no longer require students to come to school in uniform. Exams - no, they don't need to pay anything except probably for the photocopy of the questionnaire.

Private elementary schools such as Catholic schools charge a 2,000 pesos fee every 3 months - this fee has to be paid at the start of the quarter in order to attend the exams. Of course they still have to buy their own books and uniforms and pay their own way for any excursions. But they are taught to speak English - which gives them much more of a chance in life. I dont think that there is a fee for public schools. they still have to have uniforms, but the education is of a lesser standard, and the kids - especially the boys are susceptible to falling into 'fraternities' or gangs in the poorer areas of the provinces. Public schools do very litlte for their morale or to give them any real skills - basically making them fodder for the farms and low paid wage jobs.

I'm not too sure about public school, but I do know that private schools charge hefty enrollment fees. Last time I checked, it was about Php 60 000 to attend 4th year high school in most of the private schools in Cebu. The fees increase every year, so it could be much higher than that now. Parents often have the option of paying per semester or paying for the whole year. Textbooks, notebooks and materials are at the parents' or students' expenses. For both public and private institutions, uniform is usually required and parents have to pay for those too. I don't think that standard or required exams carry individual fees (it's usually included in the enrollment fee), but some special exams (i.e. university/college entrance exams) might require a separate payment.

I'm really into finding a part-time job lately for some extra allowance. I'm staying here in Philippines and I'm also a college student. I want to have the most convenient job that won't interfere much with my studying.

it actually depends, what kind of job you would like to do. Better choose something you would also enjoy doing. some choices would be: working for a fast food chain or gasoline station try a call center try asking around from people you know, they might have some nice options I hope you find the part- time job you're looking for =)

Why not. As long as you are an exchange student in the top universities (De La Salle and Ateneo come to mind) and you have decent quarters near school. Also helps to befriend nice people, who can show you around.
3 :
Depends on what you want to learn. If you want to study poorness then you came to the right place but if you want richness, then industrialized countries is your target.
4 :
It is, you see education here is really serious and has a goal. someone i know who got a lot of A's in her card went to america and the principal was surprised she got a lot of 90's, coz in her new foreign school, 85 is considered high. no offense to anyone, just pure truth. education here in the phil. will get you somewhere in life.
