Defining the News
The success of Filipino-Chinese businesses can be attributed to several factors, with a strong emphasis placed on school education, which is deeply rooted in their cultural heritage.
Filipino-Chinese schools typically offer a range of educational levels, from kindergarten and elementary school to junior and senior high school. Presidential Executive Order No. 176, issued in 1973, mandated all Filipino Chinese schools to adopt English and Tagalog as their primary languages of instruction. Since 1976, Chinese language instruction became an elective, limited to a maximum of 100 minutes per day.The implementation of this executive order marked the end of the dual academic system and the full integration of Filipino Chinese schools into the Philippine educational framework.
Filipino Chinese schools are regarded as valuable assets within the Philippine education system. A growing consensus suggests that the Philippine government should allocate more resources and support for Chinese education, reflecting the rising demand and recognition of its importance in the educational landscape.
