GLC offers real freedom — but freedom here is never the same as going easy. With online lessons before you even leave and plans built for parents and children alike, our representative found a school where you choose the Cebu study-abroad experience that fits you, not the other way round.
Our representative visited Stargate, a language school in central Cebu City, to see at first hand why it is easy to recommend to English beginners and first-time travellers — and to share, honestly, both what reassured us and what is worth checking before you go.
A plain-English guide to how TOEIC, TOEFL and IELTS differ, how many weeks of test preparation short-term study abroad or a Working Holiday in Australia realistically needs, and which test suits students, working professionals and readers considering a second career.
The final day of our Cebu inspection — confirming nature-rich campuses and thorough student support, and coming away with a deeper resolve to develop a new study-abroad plan.
When's the best time to study in the Philippines? We break down the dry and rainy seasons, when the sea looks its best, and how to dress when flying in from snowy Hokkaido.
Will Filipino food suit a Japanese palate? Our staff ate their way through the Philippines and came back fans — here's our honest verdict, plus a Top 10 dishes and Top 5 sweets to try.
New study-abroad plan development kicked off in earnest in Cebu — inspecting a Japanese-affiliated university and three Korean-run language schools as we searched for the right fit for people from Hokkaido.
We signed a friendship-partnership agreement with the Mayor of Lingayen and spent the day immersed in a town where English is genuinely woven into everyday life — a reminder of just how much this place has to offer our students.
Our representative sets out from New Chitose, flying via Nagoya and Manila before the long drive north to Lingayen — Series II of the Hokkaido study-abroad site visit diary opens with a day of connections, first impressions, and the warmth of familiar faces at the end of the journey.
Is the Philippines really dangerous? We walked Manila and Lingayen ourselves — here's the honest picture, the precautions that genuinely matter, and why Lingayen felt far more reassuring than we expected.
We flew home from Manila to New Chitose on the final day of our eight-day reconnaissance trip, taking with us a deep appreciation for the warmth, the learning, and the people we encountered throughout our time in Lingayen.
We made the long journey from Lingayen to Manila by intercity bus, then spent the remaining daylight exploring Manila on foot — a side of the Philippines quite unlike anything we had seen so far.
