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：台湾和菲律宾之间有著长久的友谊历史，包括文化与经济合作活动、共同的发展目标以及对独立与和平的共同追求。
1975年，为了加强并推进菲律宾和台湾的双边关系，马尼拉经济文化办事处（MECO）成立，这标志著两国间互惠发展的开始。随著两国关系的逐渐巩固，这一努力已显现出成果。
多年间，台北经济文化办事处（TECO）在菲律宾提供了多项奖学金，供有意在台湾学习的菲律宾人申请。作为台湾最接近的南方邻国，菲律宾人近年来越来越喜爱到台湾旅游放松。台湾不仅拥有多样的美丽景点、浓厚的文化、经济实惠的生活环境和美食，还有亚洲最强大的教育系统之一。因为这些原因，再加上TECO提供的各种奖学金，越来越多的菲律宾学生将台湾作为他们的学位学习地点，同时学习中文。台湾被认为是世界上最友善、最安全的居住地之一。
此外，台湾允许外国学生在学期间工作，这不仅增加了留学生未来的就业机会，还可以补充他们的生活费用与教育费用。
以下是提供给有意在台湾攻读学位的菲律宾学生的奖学金：
