After 10 years of serving Filipinos worldwide, FI 2.0 begins a new chapter. For the resilient, for the rebuilding. Filipino at heart, open to all.
Born from fire, built for legacy. This is the Filipino Institute. Filipino Institute is committed to providing uniquely designed professional programmes and to make a difference to the lives of Filipino expatriates in the UAE and elsewhere in the Middle East. Established on November 19, 2015, the training facility is the brainchild of Gabriel John Rimando, 34, a Filipino accountant who has lived a
nd worked in Dubai since 2007. Rimando, who is an avid photographer, felt the need to help empower Filipinos by providing access to high quality yet affordable education. Since opening its first training facility at the Al Quoz district of Dubai in 2015, the institute now has branches in Al Rigga, BurJuman, Business Village and Jumeirah Lakes Towers in the emirate, as well as in Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi. It offers short courses in photography, accounting, human resources and office administration, caregiving, IT skills training, guitar and Arabic language classes, among others. Students can choose from basic, intermediate and advanced courses designed to update their skills and knowledge, help them advance their career, or give them a competitive edge in the job market. In a span of two years, Filipino Institute has produced 30,000 graduates in the UAE and some countries within the GCC. The institute stepped up its presence in Qatar by opening a campus at West Bay in November 2016 and at Al Waab a month later. And on the same month, it branched out to Bahrain and in Kuwait, marking another milestone in its Middle East journey. Rimando has now set his sights on Oman and Saudi Arabia as well as in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei before 2020. The expansion is no mean feat but definitely doable, he says.

UPCAT is not something students should prepare for at the last minute.
If your child is in Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11, now is the best time to start building the habits, confidence, and academic foundation they may need for the UPCAT.
Weβre launching our UPCAT Review Program soon β designed to help students prepare earlier, review smarter, and study with more direction.
β For Grades 7β11
β Ideal for students who want to start early
β Helps build confidence before the pressure gets heavier
β Online and parent-friendly
If you want your child to start preparing before it becomes stressful, this is a good place to begin.
Nasa UAE kaβ¦ pero may condo ka sa Pilipinas? π¦πͺπ΅π
Minsan hindi sa property ang problemaβ¦
nasa maling setup, maling simula, at maling expectations.
Maraming OFW ang may unit,
pero hindi nila namamaximize ang potential income nito.
Bago ka gumastos pa, mag-launch nang mali, o umasa sa trial-and-error,
mas okay na maintindihan muna paano talaga gumagana ang short-term rental / staycation setup.
This is for Filipino OFWs in the UAE who want to learn how to turn their PH property into a more practical income opportunity.
β Beginner-friendly
β OFW-friendly
β Philippines property setup focus
β Practical guidance before you start
Comment βVAβ if gusto mong matuto habang nasa UAE ka.
