The three-month training was organized by the Philippine embassy in Phnom Penh upon request of the Cambodian Senate.

Embassy chargé d’affaires Myca Fischer said the Philippine government has provided various capacity-building programs to Cambodians.

“The English language training is a manifestation of our continuing commitment to an ASEAN community that is socially cohesive and people-oriented,” Fischer said, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

English is the working language of the ASEAN.

The embassy tapped the services of Publico, who committed to deliver quality English education for professionals and promote the tatak gurong Pinoy (mark of a world-class Filipino teacher).
Publico, who hails from Cavite, arrived in Phnom Penh in 2014.

This is the third English language class arranged by the embassy for the Secretariat-General.

The initial three-month course was held in May 2015 and benefited 18 participants.

The second three-month module was offered in January 2016 to 20 Senate staffers.

As of June this year, there are 1,023 education professionals among the 6,773 Filipinos in Cambodia registered with the embassy.

The Filipino teachers are working in universities, international schools, language training centers and kindergartens.

Some of them teach music, physical education, mathematics, science and English.

Fischer said the embassy has received feedback from students and their parents that they appreciate the nurturing and hardworking nature of Filipino teachers in Cambodia.
