Most of schools from primary to colleges have a field trip or known as

Educational tour yearly, that is a part of the academic experience of a student to
understand about various subjects, provide them with an opportunity to collaborate
with other teachers, different student, different people and integrate new
perspectives with informal environments to enhance learning initiatives. And of
course to get out the student from their comfort zone, from stresses due to different
activities inside the school.

On November 28, 2019 The ROYAL BRITISH COLLEGE students had an

Educational Tour with the partner of Solomon Travel and Tours. This activity IS NOT
was not just for fun only, but for us to get more knowledge, ideas about the given
itineraries as part of my strand, as well as to educate us from some places especially
for me as a Tourism student, it is my opportunity to take some good trip with other
itineraries outside the Province of Batangas.

The first itinerary was Lakbay Moseo found at the Mall of Asia area, City of
Manila, It was almost four hour bus ride from Lipa City to Pasay City, the bus ride
was so fun, some students eating their snack while on the go. The tour guide has a
good sense of humour, outstanding and the information given to us well informative.
We spent an hour in Lakbay Museo were Fourteen unique experiences and eleven
different destinations and lets travel to Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and get to
know more about Philippine history and culture without having to spend days of
traveling and a lot of money. Take my taste buds on a journey with different Pinoy
food, drinks, take a look and pictures, textiles, and even try on various traditional
clothing, open my eyes to the many traditional dances, shows and of course, go
around interactive exhibits which we can experience through different senses that
deserved to be proud of. Though this experience, I gather more information and
knowledge to be used as a Tourism student. I enjoy the place because it narrates
the life and cultures of the filipino's, that reflects to our daily lives.

The next itinerary was The senate museum at the Senate of the Philippines,
almost 10 to 15 minutes bus ride and already you’ll be there. Mr, Christian Daryll
Linga Falible the "Tourguide" tells some trivia about the senate, some additional
information about how senate of the Philippines going on as well as the flow of their
job, on how the bill becomes a law from the legislative department. It is my pleasure
to enter in this place since we all know that the Senate of the Philippines is a place
where the Law is created a place where the senators, staffs and the senate
president is working. I'm so impressed because I saw a lot of interesting things and
historical inside the museum, I was overwhelm about the historical value of the
materials even it is displayed and not to be seen in personally during the used of the
senate staffs and senate president.
 The last itinerary and adventurous place was the Enchanted Kingdom at the
Sta, Rosa Laguna, almost 2 hours bus ride from manila before you get there. It is the
most exciting part of educational Tour, lots of fun and extreme rides that make me
alive on the trip despite the tiredeness due to the crowded place in the 1 st and 2nd
itinerary. I take three rides only EKstreme, roller coaster and ferris wheel, due to
many people wants to take rides, almost 1hr and thir30 minutes of waiting before my
turn. I’m enjoying this filed trip particularly on extreme rides that will leave my lung
screaming and spirit out. This is my way to release the negativities, stresses as well
as my eagerness in extreme rides. It is my first time rides in extreme tower, a tower
where almost 100 feet high, roller coaster with the speed of almost 60 kph, and the
last and the best ride for me is on the Ferris wheel its feels like I’m on the cloud nine,

and I want to stay upstairs and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It is worth even the time
is limited because of the call time to go back in batangas. My Educational tour will
not completed if I don’t take a picture at ferris wheel that almost 100 feet high with
the breath taking over view all over the city of Laguna, Batangas and Manila and the
beautiful light forms from the building and the street lights as remembrance and for
compilation of final product.

This Educational Tour gave to me and additional ideas likewise opportunities to

visit prestigious places that may help us visualize what we are learning at school. This
is a great way to explore and gain experience as well as knowledge. This activity
helps to me to develop my personality since social graces and etiquette are learned
too by experience. Since, it is a part of our learning process as a student to acquire
more knowledge through actual exposure to the different aspects of tourism industry.

This is the second time I’ve been on educational tour and it was the greatest
time of my life. Since I was come from the Eden land of Mindanao, It was a great
privilege to roaming around in Manila area and visit prestigious places like senate of
the Philippines, since then I was see it only on television I’m not expecting that I can
personally visit it. This is unforgettable moments in my life ever.
