Philippine Tiong Se Academy
Tiong Se Academy, (Abbreviation: TSA; simplified Chinese: 菲律宾中西学院; traditional Chinese: 菲律賓中西學院; pinyin: Fēilǜbīn Zhōngxī Xuéyuàn) formerly known as Anglo-Chinese School and Philippine Tiong Se Academy, is a non-profit, non-sectarian private school located at Sta. Elena Street, Binondo, Manila near 168 Shopping Mall, the Cityplace Square, and Lucky Chinatown Mall. It was founded on April 15, 1899 in response to the growing need of education in the post-Spanish era Chinese community, hence, it turned the first page of formal Chinese education in the Philippines, and earned the recognition of being the country's pioneer and oldest Chinese school.
