Hi everyone! My name is Ghina Fazriani Hasbullah, i'm an elementary teacher education student at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. I am currently in my 4th year of collage and i had the opportunity to take part in the SEA Teacher batch 9 program for one month at Far Eastern University Philippines.
Firstly, when I heard about the opportunity for the SEA Teacher program, i immediately contacted my mother to confirm whether I was allowed to take part or not. Then when my mother allowed me to take part, I contacted my lecture to register for this program.
I went to the Philippines together with 2 other friends, Nataline Sesaria Carmenette and Anida Shoba Alfianti who also came from the Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. Initially we were going to run the program from September 3 to September 30 2023 but due to several reasons our schedule was changed to from September 18 to October 16 2023.
We went using the Philippines airline departing from Soekarno-Hatta International airport with a destination of Ninoy Aquino International airport with a dawn flight time of 00.45 am and arrived at 06.10 am. A pleasant experience, on the plane we were given food and had entertainment facilities so we could watch various film and listen to songs.
After several hours of travel we finally arrived in the Philippines and we were picked up by Mam Dena Cukaba, one of the lecturers at FEU Cainta. After that we were invite to lunch at a local grilled chicken restaurant called Mang Inasal, the food was very tasty and delicious. After lunch we went to FEU Cainta, we meet several lecturers, our buddies, and 2 students from Bengkulu Indonesia syaila and putri.
