The best thing about Competing in other countries is that
you spend time to roam and spread chaos all over, hahaha(jowk)
and you get to spend the time wandering in streets buying (weird) foods
roaming in the parks, trying to find a place to feel the cold weather.
Quan Zhou park
and one of the best part of our stay in china is we got a chance
to visit and witness amazing chi exercise and wu shu exibitions
at Quan Zhou Buddhist Shaolin Temple.
and got a chance to meet some of the young shaolin students in the temple.

About The Teacher Adviser:
Is a graduate of BSED major in English from West Visayas State University.
one of the admired teachers in ICCHS, Sir Jun Victor F. Bactan.
and one of the four 4th year advisers.
You know you’re from ICCHS when…
1. Unlike other people, you don’t refer to your Alma Mater as “Chinese Commercial.”
2. You wonder why they do.
3. You belong to a section that’s named after a fruit, flower, tree, or planet (a virtue if you’re from Ledesco.)
4. Your class resembles a mini-Philippines in that you have classmates from all over the country, and beyond.
5. You have at least one relative who’s also from ICCHS.
6. Red, white and green does not always mean Christmas.
7. You are sick and tired of hearing “Diligence, Sincerity, Loyalty, Courage” (or its Chinese counterpart) over and over again.
8. For all you know, you don’t take it too seriously.
9. You have chanted “Hua shang wan suei! Hua shang wan wan suei!” countless times.
10. You have memorized all the Chinese holidays and festivals for the sole reason that you get to have no class.

13. You revere and worship Ty Sian like a demigod.
14. You refer to your Chinese teachers as “lao shi” or “sian si.”
