A place of promising futures sets out to step

achieving dreams in a much faster way. Davao
del Sur Institute of Languages and Technological
College has been actively giving lessons for 8
years already and was best known for Japanese
Language Training to students and after 4 years
they decided to build a Senior High School
department to give more windows to pioneering
individuals. Through diversity, the school has
been influenced by many ideas and strategies

that their school can help make an
undergraduate assess a much ameliorate way to
make their lives better especially for those who
do not have enough aptness and gumption to
continue being in school for how many years.
DILTC opens doors for such people that surmises working can make life stable and not harrowing with no financial expenses
much needed. Not only does this school lends out chances but are also a home for comfort and fun.
DILTC overtures strands which are Accounting, Business, and Management; Humanities and Social Science; and General
Academic Strand under the academic track while in the TVL track there are Home Economics and Industrial Arts Strands.
During the Senior High school phase, Korean and Japanese Languages are taught throughout the year. Through the past
years, the school has had an estimated number of 500 accumulated senior high school students each year including those
who have attended the virtual classes and face to face students. Although this school has produced competent and
promising senior high school students, the individuals who have been sent to Japan were the luckiest.
The school may have strands that are mostly picked but the offers they propose are what will really pique each of
undergraduates’ interests. Who wouldn’t agree to enrolling into a school that proffers no enrolment fees, no tuition fees, and
no miscellaneous fees? Besides from expunging financial issues if being enrolled here, acquisition of studying, working and
living in Japan is possible including the study now, pay later program for qualified students which is promising basing from
the 400 students sent already to Japan.
Studying Japanese Language with the sole purpose of going to Japan, perquisites a student where they will be able to
access the fastest and easiest way to go to Japan for a long term stay; has a fixed departure month; only two months of
Japanese language study in the Philippines; learn Japanese language to the fullest; getting hired by Japanese companies

THE USE OF
RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
TO CREATE A NEW ART FORM
Quenny Lanzaderas

On September 30, The MathSci Event transpired within the campus of DILTC. During
the search pageant event, students and teachers were all mesmerized by the costumes of
the contestants. Every contestant wore elegant custom-made attires created from
recyclable materials such as paper plates, plastic cellophane, sacks, and newspaper.
Learners collected these materials to produce such debonair outfits for their contestants.
DILTC students have put together effort to procure refined ensembles.

“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks,

breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” – Mary Lou Cook

MathSci event, showing their skills in experiments and the
knowledge they gain from the school. On September 30,
students presented every one of their experiments in front of
the teachers and visitors. Some students who did not join the
experiment, joined the science quiz. DILTC held this event to
allow students to show off their potential skills and their
intelligence. The event encouraged the students to be more
optimistic and to gain more confidence within themselves.
Students and staff personnel commented that the
participants present in the competition did not fail to amaze
the audience. They had their own different substances for
their experiment and used them confidently. Each student
confidently explained their experiment and how they did it.
This only proves that DILTC is a great school where students
can learn. The competition became intense due to the
competitiveness the students showcased. Learners showed
their learning competency, especially in science.
