PART 2: ESSAY

Question: How does a Filipino teacher compare with a teacher in the ASEAN and beyond?

Although teachers across the globe were expected to demonstrate the required competences in
teaching, they still possess uniqueness that made them different from others. For instance, comparing
Filipino teachers in ASEAN teachers and beyond. We knew that international teachers were already
exposed in modernization compared to Filipino teachers. They already gained and continuously
upgrading their skills to provide a quality of teaching to their students. However, not all of them possess
the good qualities of a teacher that most Filipino teachers already have.
When it comes to emotional aspect, Filipino teachers are more affectionate to their students.
They were able to compartmentalize their problems and are excellent in managing their emotions.
Despite the load of works and duties they have to handle, their diligence and passion in teaching
students remain firm. In the aspect of competency, Filipino teachers have better English communication
skills. They work hard to improve themselves to respond to the demands of changes in educational
system to provide a quality of education to their students. They have better patience when it comes to
teaching students with behavioral issues. Filipino teachers are also good at playing the role of various
professions: it could be a nurse, a coach, a singer, an engineer, just to name a few.
Naming and remembering the good qualities of Filipino teachers will make us appreciate them
even more. These are the reason why they deserve to be respected and must be paid with adequate
salary.
