The Philippines In-Depth

The Package

Our culture and leisure package contains 50 to 100 hours of fun-filled learning activities, which cover subjects as varied and interesting as the EDSA phenomenon, Philippine flora and fauna, the legend of Mayon Volcano, and Philippine cuisine. These are actually equivalent to 3-unit or 6-unit collegiate courses in the in the social sciences.

Still, these hours are interspersed with even more enjoyable experiences like mountain climbing, spelunking, island hopping, and swimming.

Indeed, the line up of activities we have designed for you is aimed at giving you the most accurate picture possible of what makes the Filipino: his natural environment, his day to day experiences, and the society which forms his consciousness - everything from the most grand to the most mundane. In other words, we hold the formula to what will be one of the most fantastic adventures of your life!
