Being a SEA Teacher Batch 10 participant at Capiz State University, Philippines, is not only about the practice of teaching at school, but also the opportunity to explore the culture and natural beauty of the Philippines through the Cultural Trip held every week. We visited various historical places, beautiful nature, and famous tourist destinations which made this experience even more colorful!

After that, we continued our journey to the museum in Iloilo, where we saw various extraordinary works from artists of all times.
