Asiawise's Background
At ASIAWISE, teaching and mentoring are immediate, personalized,
and comprehensive. The atmosphere in the study center is relaxed and
fun so students learn faster, retain more lessons, and gain deeper wisdom.
To ensure the quality of our services, ASIAWISE mentors undergo a
rigorous selection process, trainings, and skills development seminars.
ASIAWISE initially offered academic tutorials for all levels
(preschool to college/graduate levels). On April and May 2007, it conducted
its first College Admission Test Review with at least 20 students. In 2007
and in the succeeding years, reviews for Civil Service Exams (CSE) and
High School Entrance Tests have also been held. On March 2013, ASIAWISE
transferred to its present location in Grageda Bldg., Sta. Cruz St. corner Barlin St., Naga City.
It also offered National Medical Admission Test (NMAT) Review for the first time.
ASIAWISE takes pride in having produced at least 17 topnotchers and thousands of passers in different exams in its first
13 years of service.
Aside from academic tutorial and review programs, the study center also
conducts tutorials and workshops in guitar, violin, sketching, Power Reading,
Public Speaking, English Proficiency Program, campus journalism, Math Mastery
Program, MS Office Applications, Adobe Photoshop; Thesis/Research Consultancy;
and Albay and Camarines Sur (Caramoan and CWC) Discovery Tour in the Bicol Region.
Since 2007, ASIAWISE has been a partner of the University of the Philippines (UP)
Harong organization in its annual conduct of the Academic Festival, which includes
competitions in debate, public speaking, photojournalism, essay writing, poster making,
radio broadcasting, and quiz bee. UP Harong and ASIAWISE have also worked in tandem in
several disaster relief operations and seminars for high school students. The study center also partnered with the Naga
City Youth Officials in the latter’s activities for the advancement of youth welfare.
On 21 August 2016, ASIAWISE launched Asiawise U mobile application. Initially, Asiawise U
may be downloaded from Google Play store in any Android device. The app contains review materials
and tests for CSE, PhiLSAT, HS entrance tests, Economics, English, Mathematics, Philippine Constitution
and History, and Reading Comprehension. Moreover, it contains inspiring quotes and educational games.
New milestones marked the company's first decade of operations. On February 2017,
the Study Center sponsored the 17th Association of Bicol Business Students (ABBS)
Regional Congress held in the Ateneo de Naga University, giving away scholarship grants
for CSE Review Program. In addition, ASIAWISE and UP Harong co-organized the 9th UP
Primer for senior high school students on July 2017. In response to a clamor of future
law students, ASIAWISE offered Philippine Law School Admission Test (PhiLSAT) Review
for the first time on March and April 2017. It was a very good start as 100% of its
first set of students passed the test and are now studying in the country's leading
law schools. The Study Center also started selling PhiLSAT and CSE Reviewers in 2017.
The reviewers were written and edited by exam topnotchers, university professors, and
licensed professionals who had first-hand experiences in taking various examinations.
The reviewers have reached different parts of the country, from Northern Luzon to
Southern Mindanao, via online selling (Facebook).
On 21 February 2018, the company website,
www.asiawiseu.com, was officially launched to
better serve its customers and other stakeholders,
where ever they are in the Philippines and the world.
In 2020, in response to a “new normal”
brought about by the coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID—19) pandemic, ASIAWISE has started
offering its services via online platforms. The
first online classes via Zoom, Facebook Social
Learning, and Google Classroom started
in May, while many parts of the Philippines
and the rest of the world were still in
lockdowns. Face-to-face classes are still offered
in the center while observing strict physical
distancing and other preventive measures. This
is a testament to ASIAWISE STUDY CENTER’s
resolve to provide top-rate services and ensure
the best of health of all its stakeholders.
ASIAWISE STUDY CENTER, INC., South
Luzon's leading provider of top—rate tutorial
and review services, assures its valued
customers that excellence is not just a single
act but a habit.
The Official Logo
The official logo or seal of Asiawise Study Center, Inc. (ASCI) exudes the brilliance,
power, and dynamism of the Asian and Filipino mind and soul. The
two swirls or swooshes around a golden orb represent the balance between mental
and emotional intelligence, mind and body skills, and learning and leisure. The orb or
sphere represents the world, which stands for the world-class standards maintained
by ASCI to help bring about globally competitive Filipinos. The circle or ring stands
for continuous learning and never-ending passion of ASCI for academic and professional
excellence. At the center of the logo is the acronym “ASCI” which stands for the
company as a center of excellence in service delivery.
Generally used as backdrop for the logo, red color represents passion
and happiness—passion for wisdom and happiness to serve. The gold color
represents ASCI’s valuable contribution in the advancement of academic
and professional excellence. The black and grayish-white colors
represent the colors of yin-yang, a fundamental concept in East Asian
philosophy and culture. White stands for creativity while black stands
for transformation. These are also crucial qualities in the delivery
of the company’s academic and professional services.
Inscribed in the golden ring around the core logo are the name of the
company and its motto: “Where Excellence is a Habit,” which is adapted from
the words of Greek philosopher Aristotle and American philosopher Will Durant.
