8 for APEC: “What are you most grateful for with APEC Schools?”

This year, APEC Schools is celebrating its 8th anniversary with the hashtag #Gr8fulToBeAPEC. In line with this, Amplify San Pablo interviewed eight students from the newest branch of APEC Schools, none other than APEC San Pablo, which is in its 3rd year. Let’s hear your fellow students about what they are most grateful for with APEC Schools.

Richlyne Martinez:

One of the things I'm grateful for APEC is making me realize that I can be a better person than I was before with the help of their MCH (Mindset, Character, and Habits) subject and other self-development-related subjects. APEC is also a student-centered school that helps me to learn on my own with the help of the Learning Facilitators and my classmates. APEC also helps me in improving my English speaking and communication skills with the help of their EOP. These are things that I am forever grateful for with APEC and I will treasure these learnings until I step into the new world ahead of me.

SJ Guia:

I am grateful for APEC Schools because even though we are in the new mode of learning they are still able to provide knowledge to their dear students like me. I am also grateful because they have activities that are implemented like clubs, through this I can still do my hobbies. APEC Schools assisted me in exploring this online learning, they pushed me to seek new experiences like speaking in English, using various G Suite applications, and more.

Dexter Gonzales:

As an APEC student, I'm grateful for having a chance to study in this kind of environment. I'm also grateful for being part of APEC Scholars, which helped me to continue my studies and helped my parents by reducing the expenses for my school. Lastly, I'm grateful for the people and LFs that will help me to gain knowledge amidst the new modality.

Nicole Ilan:

I am very thankful to be one of the students here at APEC Schools. I experienced here how to learn on our own but with the guidance of Learning Facilitators and that kind of strategy really helped me to build myself. I found my second family here at APEC Schools so I'm very glad to be one of the students here.

Draven Xyouz Serrano:

I am grateful to APEC Schools for providing us with very wonderful and happy classes even during the pandemic. I am also grateful because the school knows how to respect and help students in every situation. They help each student to leave their past self and keep on moving forward for our brighter future.

Merlyn Bea Enriquez:

I am grateful to APEC Schools for providing me with a different kind of learning approach. Also for letting me study comfortably in this kind of situation.

Diana Mae Franchesca Ticzon:

I am grateful for being part of their scholarship. I am grateful for their way of teaching. I am grateful for meeting amazing people here at APEC Schools.

Jerry Y. Bombane:

Having good character, habits, and learning new things is one thing that I'm grateful for in APEC Schools. They build and form us to achieve better versions of ourselves. They help us find the solution for the things that helped us reach what we achieved in the past year and I'm very thankful because I was given an opportunity to show others who I am now - the new me with confidence and ready to fight and destroy any obstacle that I might be facing in the future.
