CEBU, Philippines - The world-class education that Cebu offers has once again been recognized as ten students from Papua New Guinea arrived on May 13 to study in the established universities in Cebu.

Among the students who aspire to finish a degree include: Tahala Singham, Lorraine Angham, Hebou Kedea, Jason Lokani, Wayne Joe, Napolean Ilofa, Lloyd Sphinx Simango, Melvin Tonneman, Greg Tonneman, and Eddie Steven Wak.

“I am very much interested to study here in the Philippines, that’s why I have decided to come here and take up Mechanical Engineering at the University of San Carlos.
