TALK ILC: The first of its kind in Iloilo
Taking pride as the first language school to be owned by a Filipino, TALK International Language Center (ILC) was formally inaugurated last June 1, 2006 at the former Chito's Hotel. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was headed by Mr. Giovanni P. Singson, TALK ILC's Chief Executive Officer.
"I have always considered a clear sense of values as a prime asset gained from education at home and at school and thus, this is what TALK ILC have that other English schools don't have," explains Mr. Singson. "TALK ILC makes me feel so proud because we have the so-called VMG... Vision, Mission, and Goal," adds the young seaman, entrepreneur and Japanese Chef.
TALK ILC has 12 existing cubicles for one-on-one sessions and will soon have a dozen more, a library, 2 classrooms, a speech room, and a study room.

TALK ILC offers a PhP 22,000 package which includes a 20-day one-on-one and group classes, hotel amenities at Chito's, plus monthly and weekly social activities like parties and outdoor adventures!

"The students will have a sort-of OJT two weeks before they fly back to their countries. They will act as teachers, company heads and so on. We give them oral and written exams upon enrollment as a form of level assessment," relates the TALK ILC Chief Operation Officer Marissa Fernandez, a former administrator of two English schools in Iloilo.

"Most of the teachers are Filipinos. What sets us apart from other schools is that here we teach Filipino values," claims TNT's columnist Mrs. Julia Carreon-Lagoc, who acts as the Academic Head of TALK ILC.
The blessing rites was officiated by Fr. Dionisio Suyom of the Tanza Parish.
