Destiny has blessed with me with the name Dr. Manuel Luis Garcia Marasigan.  Having been born and raised in Manila, Philippines, most of my education came from the Pearl of the Orient Seas.

     I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree major in Philosophy and minor in Literature from the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines.

     Thereafter, I earned a graduate scholarship from the prestigious De la Salle University, also in Manila, Philippines.  This excellent university made me earn my Master of Arts in Education, and Doctor of Education, both majoring in Educational Management.

     I have taught high school Communication Arts in English for 9 years and College English for 2 years both in the Philippines. I look forward to this,  my 10th year of high school teaching here in the United States in general and in North Shore Senior High School in particular.

     I particularly enjoyed shepherding English as a Second Language students, as they learned the English language in their path to self-realization.  I humbly state that I advocated for the ESL students.

     Aside from being certified as an ESL teacher, I have also earned my additional certification for the Education of the Gifted and Talented.

     For the sixth year now,  teaching Advanced English II in the North Shore 10th Grade Center thrills me as we explore the realm of advanced English classes.  In my classroom, "Life Lessons are the norm, and deeper meanings reign supreme." Our learning environment promotes exploring avenues of critical thinking.

     Furthermore, I take pride in co-sponsoring the National Honor Society in our campus for the 6th consecutive year. .
