HISTORY
"Four Groups of Pinoys in Beijing" There are four main groups of Pinoy students in Beijing. The first group is called the “Language Pinoys” who sojourned to China for a six-to-twelve month intensive language program. The second group is the “Graduate Pinoys” or those who committed themselves to a graduate/postgrad program, lasting at least two or more years. The third group, endearingly referred to as the "GIs" for "Genuine Intsik", are Pinoys who had lived in China for five or more years, most of them had families immigrating to CHina when they were young, and speak better Chinese than Filipino. The last group, also endearingly referred to as the “TAGS” (short for Tagalog Specialists), are the Chinese students who are pursuing a undergraduate degree in the Philippines Studies Program in Peking (Beijing) University, the most prestigious university in China. The friendship established led to the idea of PCFC. |
