INTRODUCTION TO CIP
Clark Institute of the Philippines
was established in 2007. This insti-
tute is an accredited one-on-one
English education center by the
immigration bureau and the educa-
tion department.
CIP is located at Lot 18-19, Blk. 37,
Kamantigue St., Brgy. Cut-Cut,
Angeles City, Pampanga. Angeles
City is classified as a first-class,
highly- urbanized city. The school
accepts students aged 7 and above
from various countries in Asia like
Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan,
Thailand, Vietnam and Russia.
These students have classes in
comfortable and well lit one-on-one
and group classrooms. They are
housed in a beautifully designed
and fully furnished dormitory.
Students may enroll in any program
which suit their needs, and the pro-
grams are ESL, IELTS, TOEIC,
TOEFL, LCCI or Business English.
CIP is very proud of their native-led
one on one and group classes.
Having a group class comprised of
students from different nationalities
and a native teacher allows for a
wide variety of multi-cultural inter-
action. Learning a culture can be as
important as learning a language
itself. The native teachers strive to
build a very active, fun and educa-
tional atmosphere in all of their
group classes. This allows students
to study in a group setting with
other students of an equal level.
CIP has been around since the
year 2007 and have been instru-
mental to the success of many indi-
viduals who have taken the TOEFL
ibt, TOEIC and IELTS or plain ESL.

BUDDY TEACHER
Living outside of your home would
always send a nervous feeling to any-
one and living outside of your country
would make anyone feel worse. Con-
cerns about safety are always ex-
pressed during any student’s prepa-
ration to study in the Philippines. It is
a very acceptable feeling, and CIP
has always been proud to be called
the student’s home away from their
home. The buddy teacher is an inte-
gral part of this. Each student is
paired with their own buddy upon
their arrival. A buddy teacher’s role
initially is to be the student’s aca-
demic adviser. Together with the stu-
dent, these teachers evaluate the
student’s level, create a study plan,
determine strengths and weak-
nesses, coordinate with other teach-
ers regarding the student’s goals and
ways to achieve it. In my point of view
this is a very rigid definition of being a
buddy teacher because it is a
common sight that buddy teachers
and students after some time grow
attached to each other. They develop
some bond which makes their rela-
tionship like friends or siblings and
not just student and teacher anymore.
This kind of support helps students
deal with their homesickness and
other personal matters that may
greatly affect their stay in CIP. Buddy
teachers, therefore are not just aca-
demic advisers, but also a pillar of
strength and personal friend. CIP has
always put students first and continu-
ously provide services beneficial to
students. The buddy system has
grown to be more than what it was
supposed to be, it is now an essential
aspect of providing personalized at-
tention to students. If studying in CIP,
one would be a witness to the dedica-
tion of teachers, who often go out of
their own way to help these students.

always monitors my progress and gives academic advice, while the staff
takes care of the other things, like my laundry, food and cleaning. I can focus
on studying here in CIP.”

ORIENTATION DAY
CIP students are required to arrive
on the weekend before their first
day, so that they can attend the
orientation on their first Monday.
The orientation is significant be-
cause students have the right to be
informed about the do’s, don’ts and
pertinent information in the acad-
emy. The first day starts with the
student’s initial level test. This test
helps determine the student’s initial
levels and that their classes, books
and teachers can be matched ac-
cordingly. For aspiring TOEIC,
TOEFL and IELS students, the re-
sults of the initial level test serves
as an index if there are qualified to
enter those courses. After the level
test, which lasts for an hour and a
half, is the school orientation and
tour, wherein rules and regulations
are discussed in detail and the
school facilities are showed. After
the tour is lunch and later on the
city tour. During the city tour, stu-
dents are brought to malls and
banks near CIP, so that they are
given a chance to shop, exchange
their money and identify them-
selves with the city environment.
Upon return to CIP, students will
then settle their accounts with the
general manager and rest. The next
day, students are required to visit
the office at 8:30 am to get their
timetable and discuss with the of-
fice any question or clarifications
regarding their schedule, materials
and teachers. Lastly, at exactly
9:00 am on their first Tuesday, new
students will have their first class.

International Relations
On august 8, Taiwan ended an almost 3-month stand off with the Philippines,
after the death of a Taiwanese fisherman and the Philippines failing to meet
Taiwan’s demands. Taiwan has invalidated its ban against the hiring of Filipino
workers and other suspended bilateral exchanges after the Philippine govern-
ment approached Taiwan with condition and punitive measures for the people
involved. Red alerts against any tourism activities in the Philippines has been
cancelled which could be treated as a positive sign for CIP and all its partners.
