High School should be extended to five years. Why? According to the Monroe Survey in 1925, basic education is not enough preparation for life and students are not well-prepare for further studies, such as commerce industry. It was a long time ago since the extension of the basic education is suggested because, as what the study said, basic education will never be enough to face the future that awaits the students who will undergo basic education. Aside from that, we were one of the few countries that are using basic education since the implementation of the K-12 program.

It’s said to have come from the Tagalog term “lo-ok”, which means “bay”, as Caloocan is just close to the Manila Bay. Others followed another version that “lo-ok” referred to “corner” because the town was concretely located “at the corner” in early days.…
