Mss. Josephine Bargas and Alma Alcantara, the College and High School Guidance Coordinators respectively, were invited by the Singapore Tourism Board-Philippines to join the pioneering team of guidance heads and media representatives to attend “Journey into Singapore Education”.  The all expense paid trip was held last August 16-19, 2006 via Singapore Airlines.  Prior to the trip, an orientation was held on August 11, 2006 at the Fraser Place in Makati City.

The educational trip started off with the presentation by the Singapore Education followed by visits to universities namely: the Singapore Management University (SMU) on Victoria Street which is at the heart of the study hub; at-sunrice, the Singapore Culinary Academy and Spice Garden; LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts; Anglo Chinese School; Tourism Academy @ Sentosa and the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM). 

The participants also had the chance to interact with Filipino students enrolled in some of these institutions who shared their experiences, challenges and joys as they pursue their college secondary and tertiary education in Singapore.  They visited a Filipino-owned home as one of the accommodation options available to international students.

Included in the exposure was the experience of visiting cultural and ecological attractions of Singapore like Asian Civilization Museum, the famous Night Safari, breathtaking Sentosa Island not to mention the sumptuous international culinary treats. 

The familiarization trip enabled the participants to acquire a comprehensive awareness and understanding of the various top institutions, its requirements for admission/scholarships and program offerings.  Linkages and network with the different institutions (local and international) were established to better equip the participants with the knowledge needed in their respective jobs and to broaden their horizon in the field of their work.
