You're doing great so far Mimi.. Not only you're beautiful but you can be a great talk show host, too. I can imagine your face like one of those African-American reporters on ABC or Good Morning America, etc. It's great that you're giving the foreign students to voice out or share their experiences here, talk about their own country, etc. I enjoy watching you, along with your friend Dorcas and other African descent vloggers here in the Phils. coz most of the time it's caucasian vloggers here, etc. Japanese, and Korean vloggers are second to them in number when it comes to foreign vloggers. So I'm happy to see Nigerian vloggers, and we get to know diff cultures through channels like yours. Keep up the great work, Mimi! More power to your channel!
This is really a heartfelt and warm message. I love reading feedbacks like this.
Before I started med school, I searched for channels that shared about experiences from real students but I really didn’t see much and I thought it would be nice to incorporate that as well in my channel to give people genuine experiences of foreign medical students here in the Philippines. I’m glad my channel has been informative. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. God bless❤️
@@adiimimi Sure Mimi! You're welcome. This message is really meant for you and to empower people or women like you who give great content in social media and become another source of valuable information for both viewers and other foreign students alike. Keep up the great work, we're just here to support your channel, just balance both your studies and vlogging, so you can still ace up your medical school. Just enjoy what you're doing. Good luck Mimi!
@@fkoff7649 Thank you so much for your support. God bless you😊😊
That's right she can be an excellent TV host to, maybe, a medical talk show in Nigeria.
@@travelingtheworldonfingers9156 Thank you so much
Thanks to all foreign students who chose to study here in the Philippines. Good luck to your studies and enjoy your stay! ^^
Thank you so much. Philippines has helped a lot of us to achieve our dreams. God bless this country
@@adiimimi With Open arms Mimi. You guys are very much welcome here in the Philippines and we're also happy to share goodness to the world through our education system. Wherever you guys may be in the world in the future, do consider Philippines as your 2nd home and remember, keep your feet on the ground, and your head to the stars. More power to your dreams guys!! Enjoy! ^^
@@adiimimi God bless Nigeria, too. ^^
@@adiimimiI love your English accent. And I love biryani chicken, craving most the time.
@@victorvegafria3057 Thank you 😊
My opinion: Ultimately, it is the individual that determines whether or not he/she learns, not the school, not the country. My Burmese uncle came to the Philippines and attended a "so-so" community college to study engineering. The school wasn't known for successfully passing engineering graduates. Hardly anybody passed the board. However, he was determined to become an engineer so he did what he needed to do. So, when he took the national board exam, guess what? He made it as a third placer nationwide. Who would have thought? Now, he is a successful engineer and now calls Taiwan his home.
I totally agree. However, the school also do play a part. It’s also the individuals responsibility to learn as well. You are right. Thanks for watching
So so college, then he wouldn't have been accepted. I know to take up engineering one needs to pass through rigorous tests. Good he is now an engineer and he should be grateful for having studied in the Philippines.
@@hillroberts1311 @Hill Roberts Im sure he is grateful. Im sure had my grandmother had the means to send him to a good school, he probably would have made it as well. He struck me as being very intelligent. Back then, my ten-year old mind was very impressed with what sounded to me as British English. Idk. I could be wrong. But he was born and raised in what used to be called Burma, now Myanmar, until my grandmother's brother brought him and his brother to join their family in the Philippines. But, yeah, for me, he exemplifies what a determined and persevering person can do, regardless of whatever limitations one is confronted with. ULTIMATELY, it is all up to us to be what we want to be and make do with what we have, regardless of our circumstance.
Ultimately yes but do not downplay the role of the educational institution because while the brain resides in the human, that brain will need access to resources that have been built and tested over time. It could not just be the brain and determination alone. Also what you said is pretty obvious and seriously does not necessarily need to be stated.
I dont know what so so scholl in cebu you are referring to because as far as i know engineering schools in cebu are good or excellent. They produce not only passers but also topnotchers. My father graduated chemical engineering from mapua institute of technology in in 1952. He passed the board exam and landed a job at del.monte philippines. His brothers, my brothers, and my cousins went to cebu for their engineering courses, particularly the cebu institute of technology. The reason was that the schools in cebu had levelled up and became competetive so that students coming from.mindanao and the visayas no longer went to manila for engineering courses from 1950 up to 1980, when cagayan de oro in turned had excellent engineering schools. The same with medical schools. My aunt graduated from ust in manila in the 60s. But my cousins graduTed at southwestern university and cim in the 70s and 80s. Now in our place In cagayan de oro there.are good medical schools that the exodus of medical students to cebu had stopped. They prefer to study in cdo for comfort being in their or near their hometown and off course for financial reason, a lot cheaper. Cebu did not become a student mecca for engineering and medical students for nothing. During opening of classes you could see boatloads of students for the 12 hours voyage to cebu almost daily, a testament to the high standards of these schools.
Very nice content😍
It was mentioned that in India medical MBBS colleges, there's Forensic Science which is not present in Philippine medical college. Actually it goes by a different name called Legal Medicine.
Preparatory Medicine in the Philippines is 4 years followed by 4 years medical proper and 1 year of rotating internship. These requirements apply to local Filipinos who want to be M.D.s
Nice interview Adii, take more iterviews from different students it is helpful for their countrymen
Thank you for watching ❤️
This interview was very insightful. I know the pharmaceutical and medical industry in India is thriving and global.... it would be hard to compare both country's output as regards medicine. Educative content!
Thanks dear. Exactly
Great interview and great experience for both of you. Interesting ❤️
Thank you 😊
I like your passion mimi...keep it up and God bless you and your journey.
Thank you so much 😊
very good idea and interview guys
Thank you so much 😊
I think the Philippine Congress should do something about the duration of student visa, making it longer than 6 months for renewal
I think we also have that difficulty when it comes to getting admissions to best medical schools in the country. For instance, in University of the Philippines they only accept certain number of students and also you need to have high NMAT score, and good credentials. Also there is interview part that may affect your admission. Same goes to UST, PLM, UERM, etc. I think most medical schools in manila are like that and some schools in Cebu and in Pampanga like AUF in Angeles City. It's hard to get in medical schools in big universities.

😀 YT recommended your channel because I am a subscriber to Bimbo Cornejo Vlogs, a Filipino guy married to Gujarati woman and now lives in Nadiad with his family. Good luck in your med school school and beyond...
Thank you so much ❤️
thats great info😀👌
Thank you
thanks
It makes economic sense to have foreign students studying in the Philippines' academic institutions. It will help improve the standards as well.
Exactly. You are right
Interesting interview the guy is very calm
He is. Thanks a lot for watching
@@adiimimi welcome Dr ✌🏾
Nice video Doc!!
Thank you 🙏
A lot of Indonesians are also taking med in the philippines specially ob-gyne
Thanks ma'am I thanks so good accent beacous like accent of pilipino God bless you ser.maam
Hi,it's glad to see many Indian nationals coming to the Philippines just to study because of cheap costs and the linient educational system.Wishing all Indian students best endeavours in their studies in the Philippines...
Thanks for your kind wishes and thanks for taking out time to watch my video.
I would say not linient, Philippines has also high standard for medical courses, its just that in India their is alot of competition due to their high population.
What happened to the medical students from India studying in Ukraine ?
You can be a tv talk show host in the future. Keep up the good work.
Pls do also an interview with students from other schools .
Thanks for the suggestion. 😊😊
Nice.....
good interview.
Thanks a lot
For the medicine program in the Philippines. The entry level you need a High School diploma. Then take a 4 years pre med which is a bachelors degree then pass the NMAT. That’s a requirement n prerequisite to enroll to the medicine proper(MD) Some school in the Philippines cater Indians student n they open the MBBS program. There is 1 year internship program before you graduate.
Adii m ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Great content as usual
Thanks love. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Whats the point of limiting 150 medical student on.every universities or med school in India it will not help their country.With big population India needed more doctors and nurses and the best way is to allow more student on medical field.
I can' believe that the Caste system in india is even applied in their education
Actually, having a Philippine nurse degree is just like having a higher salary in working abroad. In hospital abroad, they have a percentage of nationalities hiring system following salary category. Filipino nurse are slightly running of work seat because of the rise of foreigner having Philippine degree in my opinion..
new follower your channel from philippines
Thank you po
Hi, could you interview Iranians who study dentistry in the Philippines?
Tnx for sharing new friend here!
Thank you for watching as well. I’m grateful
nice topic
Thank you
nice content.
Thank you
There are too many applicants seeking admission into the too few medical schools in India and Nigeria. As a consequence, Indians and Nigerians are propelled to seek out schools of medicine abroad. Now, this is a comparative advantage for those students because they obtain better instruction along with facilities and faculty expertises.
Thanks for your contribution and thanks for watching also
Pls Visit City Of Good Life Oroquieta,Province of Misamis Occidental Its More Fun in Philippines.
Education is a BASIC right of the people, we are NOT discriminate your Race, Religion, Creed, or Classification of people if you HAVE the money, and capability you can study anywhere in the Philippines. Right, now, even Poor Filipinos who are deserving can ENROL in the Medical Schools, the Philippine Government will shoulder your educational fees.
Nice video
Thank you
150 out of 200thousand is admitted for medicine degree in India. They are the bests among the bests and by no doubt can be the best doctors in the world.
No dude, It's more than 2 million people apply for neet(the medical entrance test) but seats are 50,000 in Govt colleges.
Ph Immigration has so much red tape. Ph Immigration offices should be available in large major cities like Cebu (which they are now in Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Bohol, IloIlo, Zamboanga etc. I know Davao City has a large Indian students.
Thanks for your contribution to this topic. Thanks for watching also
i have lots of foreign
engineering classmates
when i was studying.
Thats nice, thanks for commenting
Am a new subscriber. I think your channel is quite nice. Looking forward to watching more interesting topics and experiences you encounter in the Philippines. 🤗
Thank you so much for subscribing ❤️
I like the style of your hair is that natural?ganda Kase🥰
Thank you. It’s not my real hair. My natural hair is Afro kinky. The hair on my last two uploaded videos😊
My nephew is Filipino American studying nursing had to come back to USA just to exit for visa. Imagine the flight round trip of $3,000 or more just to fulfill visa requirements for a student, insane!
Wow that’s a lot of money
Back in the days when I was in HS & in college teachers doesn’t speak Tagalog while teaching. Always English
That’s nice
He’s handsome... Gwapo mo ser
In fairness, India has a long history of educators, philosophers, mathematicians, lawyers, engineers and the list goes on. Great civilization, Respect here from the Philippines
I totally agree also. However from his explanation, getting into medical school isn’t easy. Thanks for watching
@@adiimimi there is history of Indian teachers teaching in African University too since 1960
india is one of the oldest civilisation...
@@adiimimi When I was intermediate I was in confusion whether to choose medical or engineering but in general I was sure of going into science field. Giving exams was like class action. I tried very very hard to win a medical seat with a backup on engineering. This is only in my state karnataka where 70000 appeared for the exams and 50000 among them had given for medicals as well with at least 10000 among them trying seriously. I got 1300 ranking for medicals and 1100 for engineering and could not secure a medical seat as all medical seats got over by 800 ranking. Dental was available for me but I took engineering in electronics. I am talking about 2009 here, even though medical colleges have increased by now but no of students have also increased equally. Imagine the competition now for medicals.
U more beautifully looking Dr
Thank you 😊
For Indians and other nationality, if you completed medical course in the Philippines, do you have to undergo exams in your country so, govt would allow you to practice your profession there?
Yes of course, you have to write board exams to practice in any country as a Doctor
I am from gambia and am interested in studying medicine in Philippines but i need assistance to start the process. I need your help please🙏
Hello pls send a message on Instagram or Facebook. Adii Mimi is my handle
Ok
Hi
Ate, you are a good host, you can use it in your country. TV network. Same like Oprah. Women empowerment! Power On!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😊
Hello, Ma'am. Are u from SWU Phinma? Because the uniform looks familiar.
Hello, we are not wearing uniforms😊 It’s personal clothing
Infairness to this man I clearly understand what he’s says too he speaks English really well he speak Filipino accent thats good..in Davao City a lot OF Indian medical Student there hospital partner is Davao Medical School Foundation...mostly are Indian Student s there.
You are right, he speaks very well and is very intelligent as well. Yes, there are lots of Indian medical students in Philippines. Thanks for watching
i studied in in India and I also have to renew my visa every six months...so same same hahaha
Wow, you renewed every 6months as well?
Demand and supply issue. Is the same situation in most black africa countries.
Can you kindly explain further?
@@adiimimi I mean limited availability of vacancy in universities offering medicine courses. In the case of indian too many people chasing few vacancy. Africa too.
Hey Mimi... When is the Philippines open again to allow prospective international students ?
Hello, it’s not certain yet. We don’t know. There’s also a new COVID variant and the Government is trying to prevent the spread by modifying the community quarantine. Over all, we don’t know. Lots of foreign students are currently outside the country.
so if you can't pass admission
exam in nigeria/india and any other
foreign countries go to philippines.
It’s like this. Even you will pass still there will be cutoff for admission in medicine school. Since 150 per each school only allowed so definitely there will be cutoff. Everyyear cutoff is different. Like percentile rank will be made. For example if one state has 4 university so 150X4 so 600 students can enroll. Means top 600 of that state will get enrolled there rest other students have to find another way.
Thailand only approves few phil universities such as UST, FEU, UERM, MCU. I had my thai classmate at FEU NRMF.
I guess that’s what he meant. Are you also in med school?
Thanks for watching
@@adiimimi nope hes into refrigeration vocational course
@@dantesalazar7805 Not sure I get or understand what you mean
@@adiimimi its commentor arch sword what im referring to
@@dantesalazar7805 Oh Alright. Thanks for watching
I read one Indian student comment and said that those who graduated or took Medicine course in the Philippines make the top 10 exam in India...just want to know if this is true!
I’m really not sure about the information but I will ask my guest to find out if he knows about that. But I know that the Indian students from my school who went back to India for the Indian medical board exams passed the exam.
Thanks for watching.
@@adiimimi Otherwise, Indians would stop coming to study in the Philippines. But just like other countries, Indian authorities have to accredit or approve certain schools in the Philippines where Indian students can only enrol. For example in Cebu, Iranian authority only accredit SWU, MHAM, and Cebu Doctors' University for their citizens to study Medicine but only accredit SWU for Dentistry students. The Medical Council of India have accredited 5 schools in Cebu for Indian students to study medicine: UV's Gullas College of Medicine, SWU's School of Medicine, Matthias H. Aznar Memorial College of Medicine, Cebu Institute of Medicine and Cebu Doctors' University.
@@lionhearted1969 Noted, thank you for watching
I saw on youtube bro philippine graduate indian student in 2021 has d most passing rate ratio,second is bangladesh graduate,and six indian med student from davao medical foundation make it to top ten in recent indian medical board exam among foreign student,med board exam on foreign graduate is maybe done separate
Hi Rodolf, I recently saw a post by a Medical School In Manila that an Indian student who graduated in Feb 2021 made it to Top 1 in the June 2021 Indian Foreign Medical Graduate Exam. Here’s the link: facebook.com/1744311849179802/posts/3006516562959318/?d=n
Interesting to know Indians limit their admission to 150 students per year in government schools.. the standard gradesto high too. Hard..
Yes, it’s really hard to get in from his explanation. Thanks so much for watching
@@adiimimi It's the same with the Philippine state-owned University of the Philippines. UP is the most prestigious and highest-ranked university in the Philippines and has 8 constituent universities across the country, one of which is UP Cebu (located in Lahug, Cebu City). UP School of Medicine is located within UP Manila campus and has its own quota system as to the number of freshmen (normally between 50-80 per year) they accept every year based on the student's score) in UPCAT, the admission test for graduating high school students who wish to enroll in UP. That means, UP could only admit no more than 80 medical students every year out from the hundreds of thousands of applicants. State-owned universities and colleges in the Philippines are free starting 2019. Prior to 2019, UP System has a socialized tuition fee program wherein students, regardless of economic status, can be admitted as long as they pass the UPCAT and pay (or not to pay) according to their family's annual income. So the richer you are, the higher you pay. The poorer you are, the higher subsidy you get every month. Students who are recipient of monthly subsidies get varying amount based on the economic brackets of their family. Some don't get subsidy at all but free everything. Some get as much as P3,000 every month in the form of living, transportation and book allowance. That's how UP System worked prior to 2019. In 2019 the President approved the bill allowing all state-owned universities and colleges in the Philippines free for all Filipinos, regardless of social, economic and academic status.
Why does my city have immigration than others who are a lot of foreign students?
Hello, not sure I understand your question. What’s your city?
@@adiimimi Batangas City
Wow! Immigration is really a hassle. I expected better treatment for international students. Maybe the schools should have lobbied better policies from BI.
Can Indian nurses proceed to medical school?
Yes you can. Nursing counts as a premed
cheap/very good professors
or instructor/philippines cater
for foreigners
It's much cheaper in India if u study medicine as far as I know. Why do they need to be separated from their parents?
It's very cheap only if you get good ranks in entrance tests as you can secure seats at very subsidized rates. Else its exuberantly high for the seats we call payment seats. It's like donate and secure the seat.
Like FEU. Every year6 they. Have exam pang hnd la mkapasa hnd kna pwd mag patuloy sa medecine
Can you kindly translate to English.
Heloo iam new here
Welcome ❤️
why hasn't India abolished the caste system in the modern times?
I really cannot say. It’s really sad to hear about that.
@@adiimimi why sad ? We have religion system ..like Christian hindu muslim... 🙄
We will abolish it when all the peoples of low caste will be educated and stable.
Indian system feels like the Nigerian system too. Getting medicine in gov't schools is a tug of war
Absolutely. They also do MBBS like Nigeria. Similar struggles
Actually it is the same for state universities in the Philippines. University of the Philippines is one of the hardest to get into. University of City of Manila is also hard to get into. Even in the regional state uni. They have limits as to the number of accepted students. Usually, you have to be in the top percentile of NMAT (National Medical Admission Test), passed a rigorous interview, and most of the accepted applicants are with latin honors. However, there were so many private universities in the Philippines offering medicine. But the top tier universities, they are hard to get into as well but there are those who catered more to foreign students than Filipinos.
I think he said Gujarat.
Most likely, I repeated what I heard. Thanks for watching
Why is he talking about only thousands 😂 sorry to say but this year 16 lakhs student applied and there is only 60-70 thoudand seats
Hello, not sure I understand you. What is Lakhs
@@adiimimi 10 lakh means 1 million....
He means
1.6 million applied and only 70000 accepted
@@adiimimi 16 lakh is 1.6 million. 1.6 million people apply for all of India and there are only 60000 medical seats in India. Each state has somewhere around 2000-3000 seats.
Adii u can be oprah winfrey
We all do have our Individual uniqueness ❤️❤️ Thanks so much for watching
i hate to say this, like avoid saying Nigeria is very difficult to obtain medical degree because maybe Philippines wiill also follow those rules and it would be difficult for foreign student like you to come and study in Philippines
It’s absolutely true especially for Government owned universities. Speaking about it may help in some ways to address it in the future. Nigerian students also go to other countries like Ukraine and Caribbean for med school. Thanks for watching
@@adiimimi Ukraine is worst. Professors do not know English and students end up having less ground knowledge. I studied in Europe and met a lot of transfer students from Ukraine before. They don't even know basic knowledge of medicine and their knowledge in the principles of physiology and biochemistry is really low that understanding the effect of medications on a certain population is really hard on them. I struggled in internship covering these guys and helping them. Philippines really is 10x great in education compared to these countries. Try to go there and you will know. But I agree Carribean is also tough!
You said there's no difference ,so why you study here
It’s easier to get admitted into in medical school in Philippines
No. of students was 1.8 mil this year
edit:
10:28
For private university, the lowest is 17.8 mil pesos/annum
Looks like Indians are obsessed to have medicinal course ..
200k medicinal students to take med exam is too much ..
You are lucky to study here in Philppines , we have a very organized and precise educational programs , , we have quality educational system and student friendly atmosphere.
With outmost respect Indian medical education is one of the best now we have cutting edge technology in medical science ,our post graduate courses are top notch like MD ,Mch and DM ( Specialities courses in Cardiology , Neurology , Nephrology , Oncology ,etc ,etc ) ,the reason being is every year about 9 hundred thousand appear for medical entrace test ( NEET ) and only 15000 are selected ( both private and Govt medical colleges including BDS , Homeopathy ,etc ) so literally only about 100000 in allopathic medical science and then for post graduate one have to again clear PGNEET ,which is very ,very tough .With out most respect their can be no comparison between India and Phillipines .One can get the proof of what I commented from the thriving medical tourism in India ,where people from the developed countries vist India for inexpensive and expertise medical care of their complex medical ailments ....but we have long way to go for more development of medical research. Lastly, mostly those who do not have the capability to clear Indian Medical entrance test but aspire to become a doctor and has lots of money to study overseas opt for foreign medical education .
