Filipino students see benefits of studying in the US

In a globalized economy, international experience is coveted. A degree from a high-quality college or university sets the stage for a successful career. This is why hundreds of young Filipinos flocked to the Shangri-La Hotel in Makati on October 25 to visit the first-ever Education USA Student Fair hosted by the US Department of State and the US Department of Commerce.

US Embassy Chargé d’ Affaires Brian Goldbeck, along with two eager students drawn from the crowd, cut the ribbon and welcomed students to the event where representatives of 29 different US colleges and universities discussed the exceptional educational possibilities of the United States.
