Dive into a seafood spectacle — see the lobster up close and celebrate James & Carmina’s birthdays at Fresh International, Solaire Resort.

While traveling around the world, the family visited the Philippines and decided to combine a double birthday dinner with James. In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort  website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not. Carmina replied to the SMS since Mom Violy wasn’t sure how to do it. We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled entry time, which was 5:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026. When we arrived, we were informed we couldn’t enter the dining area until exactly 5:30 p.m...

Requirements For Your Child to Study in the Philippines

Before you decide to move to the Philippines it is best to apply for dual citizenship. The school will question if your child is allowed to attend school. They will request your passport, dual citizenship and birth certificate.

What are the process when choosing the right school for your child in the Philippines?


First Step:
  • Choosing a school if you want it to be Catholic or Montessori.

Most schools are not co-ed most of the time they are all boys or all girl school.

Even if our kids go to a Catholic Private School our school is like going to a Montessori in California. 

Only difference the school in the Philippines every one is wearing school uniforms to make all students equal. 


It just depends on what school you decide to pick for your child.

Second Step:

  • Inquire at the school and fill up an application and give them the required documents
  • Schedule your child for an entrance test to be able to enter the school
  • There will be a payment for the test to be taken at the school
  • Some schools will interview your child once accepted

Third Step:
  • Class schedule
  • Buying school uniforms 
  • Buying school supplies there is usually a list given by the school
  • Schedule school bus service if your child needs transportation 

Fourth Step:
  • Attending your child's parent orientation a summary what will be expected during the school year
  • If, your child is entering Grade School they will choose parents to participate as a member of the PTA

The first language is always spoken in English and Tagalog. 

The hardest part is your child going to a new school. It will take time for them to adjust themselves especially if they had attended school in another country.

They will adjust themselves from the school environment. They will also have a difficult time when they know less of the language of Tagalog.

It is best to teach them the language when they are young. My parents talk to me in Tagalog and explain it in English when she was talking to me. It was easier for me to understand simple conversation. 

There was one time I had attended a party when I was young. I saw my Mom's friends talking about me. They we're talking in Tagalog saying watch out on those kids they understand Tagalog because their mother taught them.

They couldn't say anything bad to us because I understood if they decided to talk back at us. I can easily tell my Mom about it.

I did the same to my son so they too wouldn't have a difficult time.

Now, days the language Tagalog are in the deeper language and you too are having a difficult time explaining the meaning to your child.

There are even students who come from different country to attend college. Our education is inexpensive that their parents can afford it. 

Where do they live? They rent places like condos or boarding home with other students to share the expenses.
