Precaution
Most Filipinos are kind and mild. However, it is better to avoid quarrels. No matter how nice the Philippines look, they can turn scary when it comes to blasphemy or blasphemy of the country.
Night roads can be just as dangerous for our country as well as the Philippines. Don’t go around late at night, and don’t go to the crime-prone area.
Carrying a small amount of money and keeping the bag in front of you can help avoid pickpockets.
The Philippines is a place where everyone lives, so you don’t have to worry about life itself, but it’s more important to know the risk factors clearly and be careful.
Symptoms of water contamination can include upset stomach, diarrhea, and high fever. These symptoms typically occur 3 to 4 days up to several weeks after exposure. It’s important to drink boiled water and ionized drinks to stay hydrated. If the symptoms persist for an extended period, it’s important to notify your manager and seek medical attention.
Air conditioning sickness, cold, and dehydration – It is easy to experience air conditioning sickness due to the significant temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. Wearing long clothes inside the building is essential, and it is also important to control the air conditioner’s temperature when going to bed. Drinking water frequently and taking vitamin supplements to replenish the minerals and vitamins lost through sweat is also a good idea.
“English is not just a subject; it is a matter of repetitive practice and training.”
Let’s study English during the week and engage in activities on the weekend. This time will never come again. In alignment with the original purpose of the training, we recommend that you study diligently during the week and participate in various activities in different travel destinations such as Guimaras and Boracay on the weekend. This will help rejuvenate your body and mind, enabling you to attain higher levels of success and creating unforgettable memories and experiences.
Trust yourself (Don’t rely on your parents and friends)
Let’s use a tutor. Instead of spending time with Korean friends, meet with a tutor during your free time or breaks and have conversations. It will be a great opportunity to study English and learn about the other person’s culture.”
