Is 10th Grade equivalent to 4th year high school in the Philippines?

Is 10th Grade equivalent to 4th year high school in the Philippines?
So I'm a 10th Grade student here in Vienna, Austria. And the educational system is very much the same to that of in the US (with all the middle school and high school stuff) My family is planning to move back in the Philippines and I'm planning to apply in certain universities. What I'm worried about is, if I would be considered a 4th year high school student, since the graduating year here is the 12th. Help?

Yes. In the Philippines, the highest achievement below college is 4th year high school. But there's a bill that may or may not be passed about adding two extra years. Note: It all depends on the school you go. Some schools have Grade 7, some don't.

If graduating year in your country is the 12th (so is in the US) then as a 10th grader you are at 2nd year in high school in the Philippines. What matters most is that you have to pass their education standards.
