Makati - Philippines Last March 12, 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte suspended the classes at all levels in Metro Manila for one month in line with the announcement of the community quarantine. This announcement has led the AMA Management to convert the remaining one month of classes in Virtual Class using the OEd or LMS platform. That is why the students are confused about seeing duplicates of subjects in their OEd account; one is blended and the other is virtual. To illustrate, the blended(BL) is the traditional modules and activities available since the first day of classes, while the virtual class (VC) is accessed only when their F2F teachers upload a lesson, modules, or even activities. Despite a great platform, the Department of Education released a memorandum last March 15, 2020, about the Guidelines for the Remainder of School Year 2019-2020 in Light of COVID-19 Measures (DepEd Memorandum no. 042 s.2020), which drove the AMAES to suspend the implementation of the ab

Classes are delivered online, but not everyone will pass Makati, Philippines - The memorandum that was issued last March 11, 2020, regarding the implementation of fully online delivery of classes from March 12 until the virus in the Philippines is contained raises questions among the students of AMA Education System. However, Mr. Ronald Michael Quijano, the Senior High School Head of AMA Makati made clarification with regards to this implementation; "The memorandum was implemented only last March 12, and effective onwards, the teachers already have the students' records - including attendance, quizzes, etc., - which will help us determine the 50% of their 4th quarter grade. We have the list of those students who did not comply with the necessary requirements for graduation, and those who have committed unexcused and numerous absences, carrying out the 100% online-delivery won't affect the consequences of their deficiencies." The statement ha

The AMAES is ready if a month suspension will happen due to COVID19 threat COVID-19 cases in the Philippines keep on rising, this concerns not just the Department of Education but also President Rodrigo Duterte. Last March 9, 2020, the Malacanang declared a week suspension in all levels at Metro Manila, followed by the advisory of AMAES that all employees are not required to work until March 14, 2020. The school officials are confident that the school is a COVID free-zone, however, they cannot disregard the fact that most of the students and employees are using public transport and are going to crowded places on their way to the school. As per the Department of Health, this is where the virus is usually transmitted, advising the citizens to distance themselves from crowded places. So, what will happen if a month-suspension was announced? Or if the government decided not to send students in school until the end of the school year?  The AMA Education System has an

AMA Makati Trumps sanitizing the offices Yesterday, March 9, 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte suspended the classes at all levels in Metro Manila until March 14, 2020, due to the COVID-19 threat.  The AMAES Chairman hereby mandates all employees of AMA Education System in Metro Manila - faculty members and non-acad employees - are not required to work starting March 10, until March 14, 2020, in congruence with the mandate on the suspension of classes from Malacanang. This is also to minimize the risk of exposing themselves to the virus and for the school to be sanitized by the Trumps Personnel today.  The school officials considered the fact that the employees, not just in our school, are coming from different places that require public transport to get to their workplace.

COVID-19 versus Physical Education AMA Makati Senior High students learning the basics of swimming - 2019 As part of the curriculum, the grade 12 students are about to take their swimming lessons for the fulfillment of their subject Physical Education and Health 4. For the last 2 years, they've been using the Swimming Pool in Pasay Complex to conduct such activities. However, the swimming class for grade 12 and volleyball class for grade 11 will not be pushed through due to the risk of COVID-19. The school administrators do not want to risk the health of the students in accessing such public places . Furthermore, they cannot monitor the in and outs of walk-ins in the said venue.  AMA Makati SHS after their swimming class - 2019 Last February 5, 2020, the Department of Education issued the DepEd Memo No.15 s. 2020 reminding both public and private schools regarding the risk of NCoV or COVID-19. This is also to reiterate and encourage both education sectors

An outreach program administered by the AMA HOMES The AMA HOMES members School supplies and giveaways The AMA HOMES proved once more that they are indeed humanitarian. The organization administered an outreach program with the children of Brgy 127, M. Dela Cruz, Pasay City. The attendees' age is ranging from 5 years old to 10 years old, and it is seemingly tough for the organizers to communicate with such delicate kids.  Games, storytelling, feeding program, and educational activities were performed with the help of its members. The organization is only expecting 30 kids but at most 60 showed up. This surprising number of the audience did not stop the AMA Homes from continuing their program. Donations of school supplies from the students of AMA Computer College Makati surely induced a smile to the face of the kids.  The event was supervised by their adviser - Mr. Milton Mosquito together with the Child and Welfare team. Yet, all the mem
