During their visit, the children witnessed a presentation on basic information about the Philippines, were taught basic Filipino phrases, and listened to a story entitled "Alamat ng Pagong" (Legend of the Turtle) by Segundo D. Matias, Jr. Ms. Claire Fababaer, a Filipino Beijing-based teacher, read the story to the children.

In return, the students performed a rendition of the documentary "Amazing China", as well as a song and dance number using Chinese traditional musical instruments and showcased their calligraphy skills.
