You’re a Filipino student if…
Admit it: you can still perform the entire 'Desiderata' by heart

MANILA, Philippines – Every nation has a particular school culture, and the Philippines is no different! Go to practically any elementary or high school in Luzon, the Visayas, or Mindanao, and you’re sure to spot certain similarities. From rules on writing on the blackboard to beloved science experiments on a budget, Filipino students past and present tend to share common ground. 

Can you relate to these Filipino student “customs”?

The “grime” for your costume was care of your mom’s eyeshadow and mascara.

On some particularly unfortunate days, classes get canceled the second you arrive on campus.

Of course, the muse and escort end up having a short-lived romance!

The class’ most artistic student is also tasked to draw a fancy border around the notes.

For “Pag-ibig,” a Katipunero hat earns you extra points. 

It never ceases to amaze how munggo seeds can grow so fast!

It’s embarrassing how all of us were such fashion victims then!
