About

Mabuhay! I am Hazel Manalo from the Philippines, a teacher for 32 years. I have always believed that teaching is a vocation, it’s God’s calling because He has a mission for us to make a difference in the lives of children. I have always looked into teaching as an opportunity to expand my horizons, grow more professionally, and gain valuable teaching experiences that I may be part of a child's realization of his full potentials and his bright future. I have been teaching Grade 7-10 English at the DepEd-Buhaynasapa Integrated National High School, and I have also handled various subjects in Grade 11 and 12 like Oral Communication, Reading and Writing, and 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World. I am also a part time professorial lecturer at the Batangas Eastern Colleges where I teach English and professional education subjects. I commit myself to a lifetime mission of serving the youth through quality teaching service that is inclusive, accessible, and equitable- for the love of learning. I want to take part in the Cultural Exchange Program of the US because I believe that being a cultural ambassador gives so much opportunity to promote our country's culture, traditions, and values abroad. I’m 52 years old now but because I do love to learn, I want to gain vast experiences from another part of the world, aside from my beloved Philippines. I know that if given the chance, I could someday be able to share valuable knowledge I gained from teaching in the US to my fellow learning leaders when I go back to teaching here or be invited as resource speaker or whatever chance I may be given. I hope to be among the Filipino teachers in the US who build bridges between different cultures, fostering mutual understanding and respect while continuing our mission to nurture minds and transform lives.
