Why is Taiwan becoming the top overseas education destination for Filipinos?
Overview: Taiwan and the Philippines have a long history of friendship, cooperative cultural and economic activities, shared development objectives, and a shared desire for independence and peace.
The establishment of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in 1975 to strengthen and advance relations between the Philippines and Taiwan marked the beginning of these bilateral benefits and developments for the two neighbors. And as evidenced by the two nations' strong existing relations, this has paid off over time.
For many years, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in the Philippines has offered a variety of scholarships to Filipinos interested in studying in Taiwan. The Philippines is Taiwan's nearest southern neighbor and in recent years, Taiwan has emerged as a favored tourist destination for Filipinos looking to unwind. While Taiwan has a diverse range of gorgeous sites, a strong culture, an economical living environment, and wonderful food, it is definitely one of Asia's most robust educational systems. And for this reason, in addition to the several scholarships offered by TECO, an increasing number of Filipino students are eyeing Taiwan as a destination for their diploma programs while learning Mandarin at the same time. Taiwan is home to some of the world's kindest people and is regarded as one of the safest places to live.
Additionally, Taiwan permits foreign students to work while they are enrolled in classes. This increases the overseas students' prospects for future work while giving them additional money to cover their living expenses and educational expenses.
The following scholarships are provided to the Filipinos who wants to pursue their diplomas in Taiwan.
- Ministry of Education (MOE) Scholarship
- Huayu (Mandarin) Enrichment Scholarship
- International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF)

概述：台灣和菲律賓之間有著長久的友誼歷史，包括文化與經濟合作活動、共同的發展目標以及對獨立與和平的共同追求。
1975年，為了加強並推進菲律賓和台灣的雙邊關係，馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處（MECO）成立，這標誌著兩國間互惠發展的開始。隨著兩國關係的逐漸鞏固，這一努力已顯現出成果。
多年間，台北經濟文化辦事處（TECO）在菲律賓提供了多項獎學金，供有意在台灣學習的菲律賓人申請。作為台灣最接近的南方鄰國，菲律賓人近年來越來越喜愛到台灣旅遊放鬆。台灣不僅擁有多樣的美麗景點、濃厚的文化、經濟實惠的生活環境和美食，還有亞洲最強大的教育系統之一。因為這些原因，再加上TECO提供的各種獎學金，越來越多的菲律賓學生將台灣作為他們的學位學習地點，同時學習中文。台灣被認為是世界上最友善、最安全的居住地之一。
此外，台灣允許外國學生在學期間工作，這不僅增加了留學生未來的就業機會，還可以補充他們的生活費用與教育費用。
以下是提供給有意在台灣攻讀學位的菲律賓學生的獎學金：
教育部（MOE）獎學金
華語（普通話）強化獎學金
國際合作發展基金（ICDF）
