00:21 Alright, welcome to our class.
00:23 How are you today?
00:25 It's great to know that you are fine.
00:27 The teaching of English is very popular among Filipinos.
00:31 In fact, thousands of Filipinos have worked as online English teachers abroad.
00:37 But now, one of our countrymen is teaching Filipino to other countries.
00:43 For the first time, the Filipino Language will be taught as a course at Harvard University.
00:50 The teacher is Lady Aileen Ursal, a.k.a. Tubong Amadeo Cavite.
00:54 She will start teaching elementary and intermediate Filipino courses there this month.
00:59 She is a former faculty member of Cavite State University.
01:03 She is a student, but she is already very talented and hardworking.
01:07 She is a very young student.
01:10 We have an activity where she runs around and covers our first summa cum laude,
01:17 Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication.
01:20 She graduated in 2012.
01:23 Her teachers were impressed by her, who became her co-teachers.
01:27 She is one of the advocates of the Filipino language here.
01:31 She will share whatever she can share, be it research, extension, or class references.
01:41 Aileen thanked those who congratulated her on her social media posts.
01:46 She said that she is just a small part of the success,
01:49 but she is a great example of how a great teacher can be successful both inside and outside the country.
01:53 She is also famous for being a Filipino.
01:55 Teacher Aileen proved that the Filipino language is very good abroad and can be successful.
