Ano ang masasabi ng mga tagapangasiwa, ka-guro, mag-aaral tungkol sa gurong Filipino or FilAm sa Amerika. Ito ay sing testimonya sa tatlong dekada ng presentia ng mga guro sa Amerika.
Gusto mo bang magturo sa Amerika. Halina't pakinggan ang bidyong ito pang matapatan mo ang galing ng mga gurong Filipino sa Amerika.
Not only nurses but also teachers!?!? Philippines, i salute!
More skilled jobs that should go to American citizens. No wonder there is a homeless and drug addicted culture.
hahaha. . . Filipino! Filipino! What Other Else that You Can Do?!!!
Nurses, teachers, singers😁
Now you can find a pilipino teacher all over the world from asia ,africa and to america .Their motto was to molded every student to be highly educated and be a respectful human being.
True
MY wife is a Filipina teacher, she managed to become a licensed Filipino Nurse, she teached in grade school as well, performing a nurse duty without additional compensation... its unquestionable devotion to her duty tho less in menetary gains... coz serving is loving God as well...
You’re wife should be compensated. She deserves to be compensated.
Here in our country, teachers would cross ocean, climb mountains everyday just to reach children to teach in remote areas where there is no school buildings. They teach the children under a tree or a canopy. And they even spend their own salaries for the children's school supplies. That's how dedicated they are.
Wow - in America exploitation is becoming a standard way of doing things - high cost of living , exceptional stress, sometimes dangerous students … :)

When you take away God in the school system .. the school system itself will be corrupted even more... Anything that is Good comes from God... taking out God in the system will result to be chaos... and it will be a menace to the society to produce children without respect to their parents, to their teachers, ti their government andd country, and produce evil people that have to be self destructive.... in itself...
True.thats why students respect the teacher may they be in the classroom or in their house. May they be in their uniform or house clothes.
Which country are you from?
My filipino math teacher changed me a lot when i was in high school, she was such a great influenced in our school, i highly respect her till now. I sometimes visit my old school just to say hi to her.😊
Your Filipino Math teacher was such a great influence in your school. 😊 That’s a great compliment! 😊🤗👍
Kudos to you on that! Take care & stay healthy!
She must also be old.
Hopefully she did not teach calculus.
Filipino teachers are the best, not only to teach the children, they can be a friend and also like a parent too!...
Filipinos in general seem to be much more tolerant of foreign cultures. I am retired in the Philippines and have found Filipinos to be the most friendly people I have ever met. The amount of aid a teacher can give their family in the Philippines is life changing to the current and future generations. Filipinos are not selfish. Usually a family receiving money from relatives in the USA, spread the wealth throughout the neighborhood.
Thanks dear 😘🇵🇭
Thank you for your appreciation! take care & stay healthy!
So true.
Beggars can't be choosy.
Very true!
Filipino English teachers are also very good in teaching literature where learners learn a lot of lessons in life. Truly, their teaching skills make learners' heart soft and kind.
Amen to that Abelardo. Mabuhay ka.
l love the Philippines and it's beautiful people.
And chinese should not allowed
thank you sir.
@@almamendoza7326 you're welcome and China are not welcome here
@@ronaldpagar6513 22
Thank you and may God bless you
that is why Filipino are great teachers because they are also teaching about good decision in life, family,your values,spiritual,etc.
GMRC everywhere. Hahahaha meaning they also teach good manners and right conduct
Filipino teachers are among the finest .
One quality of a teacher is to be selfless. And honest caring attitude treat the students as their own.
Correct.
Generally speaking, the quality of Filipino English teachers in Japan is quite high as well.
I want to try to teach english here in japan..,
English in Japan. 😊
Hello My friend's daughter she is a Registered Nurse from the Philippines went to Japan but instead of working at the Hospital she ended as an English teacher in Japan because she is also fluent in Nihongo.As a Nurse back in the Philippines we have been trained and had education or teaching as major subject at the University So as a Nurse we are also Educators and advocates.
@Mama moo why is it weird? Have you been to the American midwest and south? The accents are atrocious.
@Mama moo that depends. If you were just educated in the Philippines from a cheap ass school then you'll have a hard time adjusting from your heavy accent.
It was all started when a vessel that carried the thomasites, a group of American teachers disembarked in our Philippine Islands to teach the inhabitants their language and culture as part of American Colonization we had gotten the educational system that those pioneering American teachers imparted to us. Now it's time for Filipinos to be recognized as worthy and able teachers to give back to the Americans that kind of education being shared to them from the beginning.
Filipino teachers or teachers in the Philippines are great good math teachers,they’re proficient and are well trained .they’re wise ,smart,brilliant.
Mr. Lito Verdeflor was my teacher in high school back in the Philippines. I'm proud to hear about Filipinos' significant contributions in educating young Americans. Kudos to all Filipino teachers around the world!
I'll give your regards to Mr. Verdeflor! He is one of the best indeed!
Kane! Karon pa nako nakita ni ba. 🙏. Salamat.
Pilipinos are awesome people whether at home or in other countries. They are genuine and compassionate people. They're all over the world giving their best.
@@stony0219 Bisdak diay.
Thank you for your comments about Filipinos teachers in your country. God bless us all.
I'm sad that we lost these excellent teachers but I'm happy at the same time because I know they're earning better than being teacher in the Philippines. Same with the nurses.
Ok lang po yun, dagdag kita naman yan sa ekonomiya... Dami pa naman kaming natitira dito na dedicated din na teachers... Hehe... Di lang namin kaya mag abroad
You have a different way of thinking and that gives an indication of affection thank you beautiful lady with a beautiful heart
No need to be sad when there are thousands of qualified but unemployed teachers here.
YES Sir, I don't think our government here in the Philippines aware some talented and young Filipino teachers are going out of our country to teach other nationality.Well Good luck to all Filipino teachers outside our country.And God bless.
Viva to all our kababayan Teachers, real heroes of our beloved ❤ country Philippines.
Jealosy,..cant accept that Filipinos are excellent teachers,hardworking,,,,,thats why envy makes them hit dislike....God knows Filipinos work with their heart open to students....
You have a different way of thinking and that gives an indication of affection thank you beautiful lady with a beautiful heart
Filipino teachers in the USA are the best among the best
Thank you Rein.
Best caregiver too.
Bullshit pig nose .
@@eddiesaninocencio6635 Stop saying bad thing to your brothers and sisters that's bad
OA
You know why Filipino have a beautiful education because of U. S. A . We inherit from you guys. The books we use came from America 🇺🇸. I got my American Citizenship only 9 minutes.
I'm here working as a multi-grade teacher mozambique...just now I cannot hold my tears leaving these kids someday.
Maria Theresa Lacro , see even outside the USA, Pinoy teachers excel in what they do best. Maria, continue you love and passion for the students entrusted to your care.
+Rampage Math thank u..God bless u
💪💪💪
I remember when I was in sixth grade, our teacher (adviser) cried during the last day of school. Some of us were in tears too.
Wow ! I didn't know that there are Filipino teachers there in Mozambique. I have the impression that they would prefer French speaking foreign teachers, not American English speaking Filipinos. Enjoy the adventure. Manny from the U.S.
OFW’s are modern day heroes not only for the Philippines but for their host countries as well.
Oh hi, I, am not a teacher,just a ordinary citizens,but as a Filipino thank you for the compliments,,to you all.
I'm a teacher, too - I teach about Triune God. We're all over the world to TEACH everyone so they will always be in GOOD HANDS towards the FINAL GOAL: SEEING GOD FACE TO FACE. Keep it up!
I'm proud to be a filipino!💚 Teachers here are really great! I had the best teachers since elementary until highschool.
Si true.
I'm a language teacher here in Xiamen and I find teaching profession very challenging for me. Getting along with diverse cultures requires a lot of patience in order to persevere this noblest profession.
Mabuhay ka Hirro. I’m sure you’re making your mark in the hearts and minds of the Chinese students.
All I can say is that, we are being loved generally anywhere we go, but as the saying goes, we cannot please everyone.Bottomline, we ROCK!!!!!!!
I appreciated everything they said about filipino teachers. But i am more touched to those who give speech directly without reading a letter of speech.
Opo.pareho tayo ng napansin
Filipino teachers are all dedicated to teaching and everyone in the country respects them. Teaching is the most noble profession for us.
Proud to be Fil-am and Philippines system of education are still the best.I graduated with my BS degree in Nursing and easily found employment here in the ISA bevause of our great teachers from school back home.
Goodluck my fellow Fil-am.
Mabuhay ka Kling. We are also very proud of our Pinoy nurses like you.
My Aunt teached in Missouri for many many years. 11 years ago she retired as a happy and fulfilled teacher.. She's now enjoying her life. She said that her school superintendent doesn't want to let go of her yet at that time because she's a very very good teacher and her students love her and learned many many new things from her. 💗👉🇵🇭👉🌏
I believe your story. Mabuhay ang Aunt mo. Pls. give my regards.
Wow I’m impressed, I wish I had Filipino teachers when I was younger. The teachers I remember didn’t give a gottamn
California Dreaming , thank you!
Like our teachers said "our second home is our school" and " our second family is our teacher" I know because I'm a Filipino student
Filipino teachers are best in their field of experties plus the good points learned from good manners and right conduct.
They serve as a role model in the school and in the society as well and serve as the second parents in school.
THAT IS HOW FILIPINO TEACHERS MOLDED.
MABUHAY KAYO MGA GURO!!!!
i have a niece working as teacher in one of the schools in Kisseme,Florida...She was awarded recently as one of the best teacher of the school
While lots of people feel bad due to the idea of losing good teachers who seek employment abroad, I shall say we still have a lot of good ones who choose to stay in the country in spite of their salary which is not too much for a living, we still salute them for their dedicatio. and loyalty to the Filipino children. Nevertheless, we salute Filipino teachers outside the world who keep waving the banner of fhe Filipino teachers teachibg with compassion.
Congratulation maam and sir...im.very proud for u as pilipino...tagumpay ng buong pilipino...God bless watching from abudhabi uae.
yes it’s definitely true are Filipino Teachers are curious and very good in Teaching Academics ...
They are awesome, hard working...great manners. Our district in NM hires 150-200 a year. Ive never heard a complaint. Their kids are great students too, bonus
Thank you for the heartwarming compliments to my countrymen. Please continue to support them. Their fear in working abroad is racial discrimination.
Filipino teachers will make you a good friend even as your added family , because they wants thier students to be succeeded . God Bless !!!
Thank you so much for the heartfelt gratitude’s I’ve heard from you all “ for our Filipino Teachers “ appreciated you all sir, mam, i am proud to be a Filipino❤
Our pleasure!
Who hit the dislike button are Asian who’s jealous of Filipino instead of making them an Inspiration.
let them be....the video speaks for itself. thanks Yujina.
I'm Indonesian and have been following these stories for quite some time, I believe we as Asian are also proud of Philifino who succed working overseas, they represent South East Asian in the world and become inspiration. Please don't be negative or making projection, it's counter productive.
You are right.. 👌
Let's not be like that, we as a whole should tend to act as the one of the aggressor to be adept on this field so that others may really learn inspiration and suit up, don't skip and cite any kind of statement that might be result in reverse action otherwise.
Wow your youtube can see who actually click the dislike button, and where they are from?
I wonder,.. The one's who hit dislikes are those who envy the Philippines ☺️ ...
Filipnos are great teachers!!
francois williams hi po I'm one off your sub.
yess.....thanks for appreciation !
Thank you for your appreciation!
Thank you for the information i like it!!
@@carlocachero4093 Cool, where now?
I know a lot of teachers here in my locality and must say that they work hard even after school, bringing their work at home, sleep at midnight preparing tomorrow's classes
Proud to be pinoy ..... pinoy teachers are best teachers in the world...
Very proud of all Filipino teachers her in USA.. Very good feedback,
I'm happy to hear about the positive satisfactory comments. Its heart warming to know about their multi dimensional contributions to grade school student here in US of A. I hope the country of Philippines can also benefit to improve even more the competitiveness of their students. MABUHAY..
CHRISTOPHER ASUNCION . thanks for the generous comment. Througg AFTA, these teachers also go to the Philippines to do Balikturo sessions with teachers. Teachers in the USA share subject content and best practices to administrators, teachers, and student teachers during their summer vacation in the Philippines.
Filipino teachers are actually great, great in patience, creativity, and passion especially if they feel being challenged they will give their heart out. It just that here in our own country, we can't do that due to its dumb system, if only we let teachers do their own craft inside the classroom there will be changes in the learning. Praying that our education here will revive too.
Amazing , proud to be Filipino !
Mabuhay ka kabayan.
Our Philippinos teachers are one of those best in the world .... their very dedicated in what they do of teaching ....If you go to Philippines , education is the biggest thing to do in the Philippines, besides singing .... The also have the most amazing voices singers in the Philippines..... 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👌👌👌👌👌❤️💜💚
You have a different way of thinking and that gives an indication of affection thank you beautiful lady with a beautiful heart
Maraming salamat din po sa iyung mga nag patunay sa mga katangian ng mga FILIPINO nawa ay mag patuloy ang kanilang mga kilos saan man naroon
wow,that was pretty amazing.it inspires me a lot for our kababayans.good job
I have read a comments that states: "Bakit ang sipag kapag nasa ibang bansa ( Why are they so industrious when they are working abroad"
My answer is:
BECAUSE THE BEST TEACHERS WERE WORKING ABROAD.. and if the government will not take good care of them probably NOTHING WOULD BE LEFT IN THE PH... #truthhurts
John Cezar Hindi mo man nasagot yung tanong eh
Comprehension iha kulang noon..
Aral aral muna ha, wag ka pakababad sa youtube..😂
Mas gusto kasi ng Gobyernong busugin ang mga Opisyales na Corrupt kaysa as mga Guro na humuhubog ng mga Kabataan na Pagasa ng BayanSimple as that
Danny Barcenas true enough, at naaawa na ako sa mga kaguroan natin andami nilang ginawa na hindi naman naayon sa working description nila. Tulad na lang ng kakilala ko panay paper works na lang daw inatupag nila. Department of Deparment na nga daw sila.. Kaawa-awa ang mga mga Filipino teachers..😣😣
Yes, we always go beyond our job description.💖
Filipino teachers are great educators coz of their long patience and the teaching strategy is different coz its came from heart.proud of them of their accomplishment. God bless all the teachers
Josephine Leona, thank you for your testimony. God bless you too.
Filipinos are very creative n' passionate in everything they do.whether in dancing,singing, acting and etc..
tweety carmona . correct! and that’s in general meaning including all workers and no just the teachers. mabuhay ang manggagawang Pinoy!!!
Most of my friends are now teachers😊 and I'm so proud of them .😊
The last part caught me off Guard. Didn't realize I was tearing until my sight gets blurry!
Proud Mom of a Filipino Science Teacher in Lake City, South Carolina :)
Well, Filipinos in general learned about GMRC.
...and we try to practice GMRC as well. We also model it to our students.
Thank you we do good in numbers and science too but GMRC is the basic foundation for every individual to succeed in life , if individual dont have gmrc then probably he or she will be poor in numbers or science because lack of passion , dedication and discipline.
I think GMRC was the only subject I passed before hahaha
correct ' I agree :)
To Deborah Rock: This G.M.R.C., is it an acronym for Good Manners & Right Conduct? I remember taking that while in grade school in Project 6, Quezon City in Manila, Philippines back in the early & the mid-1960s. Then I lived most of my life in the U.S.A. I tutored part-time in English when I was in Hong Kong from 2010 through 2013 at three English learning centers. G.M.R.C. should be made mandatory in grade school here in the U.S.A.
So glad I found this. Proud Teacher here.
Happy to know you are a teacher too. More power!
i cried to the testimony of cerelia..it's nice to hear wonderfull words from their former filipino teachers who all worked in U S
Touching indeed. Salamat Julie!
Thank you so much the good word of this Filipino educator is nice to know..

Sa ngayon bag aaral pa lng Ang Anak ko secondary education English major,pro ngayon pa lng sinabi ko na sa kanya na magtutro sya sa public schools ng Pilipinas para mabayaran nya pinag aral sa kanya ng Gobyerno,at dahil kulang talaga magagaling na teacher ngayon Ang Pilipinas dahil puro abroad na..pero pangarap talaga ng Anak ko maging flight stewardess,Kaya Sabi ko at least 2 yrs.gusto ko makapag turo sya sa public school.
We don't need anymore filipinos, go home, Trump already placed a ban on filipino workers going to the USA. Hurray.
@@eddiesaninocencio6635 You're an idiot and racist at the same time!..These Filipino teachers were legally hired by the US gov't to teach there because American students that are lagging behind to their Asian counterparts.www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2018/01/198_78302.html
Filipino teachers ROCKS!

China wants 150 filipino teacher"s" japan" also " even russia" kuwait" saudi arabia" filipino teacher" spread worldwide"
It is through the testimonies of international students and administrators that we claim how good these teachers are. It is good news that other non-USA countries have started hiring Pinoy teachers. Mabuhay ang mga guro!
wow! Pinoy teaches should check out POEA postings.
Jesus Tosim even in thailand
No pilipino teachers left here in philippines,, my goodness what happen to our children's when they grow up?.
ches lequin dont worry we have too many teachers and just graduated and no job in the philippines😃
yung mga talangka na filipino dito, stop commenting bad to our teachers, whethere abroad or local, they have the same level of competency....
Whether 😊
The Education in the Philippines is American standard because the AMERICANS EDUCATED THE PILIPINO during the World War 1 / 2.. We were Americanized. Thank you America..
Salute to These teachers.
So proud of our Aunt Mercidetas Dungog! Mabuhay ka!🎉💐
Ill say hi to her from you. She's an awesome and hardworking officer of AFTA Thanks Ellai.
I am planning to apply in US as math teacher. Thank you for making me inspired and encourage to work outside in the PH through this video.
Albert Santos good luck! I’m sure you will do great here. Keep us updated.
But what is going to happened to the student there. If teachers there would want to go abroad? :(

Amazing positive attitude towards helping very loving and caring ,passionate and great motivation like family members , that treat good to the USA students it’s honored of our President Duterte to hear this Pilipinos teachers are very supportive to the USA students ,according to the USA Schools administrators, very welcomed mabuhay.
Thank you Maria. Pinas will always be in our hearts. Mabuhay ka.
Teachers are student 2nd parent. More often, they are the one that changes student behaviors to be more HUMANE than own parents. They have all the time to listen, answers questions about life and everyday problem.
To say that Filipino teachers are exported to work regionally and internationally is a testament of their dedication and professionalism.
The USA recently caught up with this trend whilst the rest of the the world already have employed their services for years. China too with its insatiable appetite to learn English are requesting the Philippines to provide educators to consider teaching there.
So what’s new? Globally the Philippines exports OFW talents such as engineers, doctors, nurses, construction workers, skilled & semi-skilled, nannies and Domestic Helpers and educators.
The downtrend are that the country may experience a brain drain but it seems not happening and being replenished.
Congrats. You make all of us proud especially the school administrators of FAPSA, the Federation of Associations of Private School Administrators. Thank you very much.
Salamat po. A number of these teachers were Adminstrators too when they left the Philippines. Shout out to FAPSA! Feel free to reach out to AFTA to find ways that we can collaborate.
Not only nurses but also teachers!?!? Philippines, i salute!. Not only nurses but also teachers!?!? Philippines, i salute!.
Im very proud....im filipino..and my mom is teachers.
my uncle and aunt is a public teacher as well in Pennsylvania for almost 40years and both of them are retired now. and I'm following their path now .. i am an english teacher her Thailand.. thanks for this video
Kudos to your uncle. Happy to know that your teach in Thailand. Mabuhay ka Michael.
Rampage Math
thank you so much ,, i just really wanted to help people in thailand so that in the future all asian people will understand and speak english as well not only philippines
Sure, you are an English teacher.
when we are young they all told us that all teachers is our second mother or father.
... there’s some truth in that. But in reality they are also a friend, counselor, advocate, babysitter, custodian, .... you name it.
That’s the truth plain and simple!
Very , very proud filipino down here
When I had to leave from the US back here to the Philippines, literally all my students tried to hold me back and shed tears.. I was sad. They consider me as their second parent. There would be no one else they'd go to.. The admin also held me back then.
You are a treasure they cherish. Mabuhay!
@@RampageMath Opo. Kaya po I miss them a lot. Siguro ngaun high school na po sila. Mabuhay rin po! 😊
All of these teachers are a great help to americans, In the other side a great loss to the filipinos.
I have a Science Teacher which is a half Spanish and half Filipino
exactly ^_^ i remember my teachers who always taught us through singing ^_^ ....
They are very good in instilling good morals and right conducts.
I know that filipino teachers are one of the good teachers in world maybe because my parents are teachers but never help to us or help our assignments.,specially my father,the he always ask check our assignments every night if its already done.,but sad to say they are already gone.
They're gone because of economic reasons. Nevertheless, quality teachers are growing pa rin sa Pinas.
Awesome 👏
Kudos to our Filipino teachers
Salamat po.
Sad for the Pilippines educational system deprived of excellent teachers and lucky for USA.
Wala lang, feeling so proud as a Filipino
you know why Filipino teachers can be in-demand in other countries especially those English speaking coutries. It is because they speak, read, write and compute in English language. as to their dedication, I think all teachers in the world should be dedicated because without it they can not teach efficiently their pupils or students. in the Philippines teachers in the rural areas learn to be very initiative and must improvised on their teaching materials and tools because they lack materials; in fact they have to use their own money to produce their materials. Necessity is really the mother of invention. Teachers here must be inventive in their ways and means in their visual materials and other necessities which the government could not provide.
True, Filipino teachers are very innovative, most especially those teachers who are assigned in far flung villages, lack of school devices so they must invent these materials for the class.
Wowww, marvelous!!
,,,,, A jack of all trades,, congratss to you sir👍👍
I forgot the teachers name.. Sa lhat na filipino teachers congratss, 😘👍
That's Mr. Verdeflor from NYC. Salamat. Mabuhay ka The maidasan.
lol im from philippines id rather have my teachers leave school for their own sake cus four idiots are in my class and they don't listen,talks back and disrespectful
Hi. Salamat @maidasan @ramil na rin for the video.
