Growing up, I was taught that sweatshops were places where people would work out and sweat profusely (think of going to a packed gym at mid-day with no air-con). To our surprise, Dualtech has their very own sweatshop – except it wasn’t hot and people weren’t working out on machines, they were working WITH machines. And this just wasn’t any ordinary work, this was heavy-duty manual labor that you thought you’d only see in factories. The sweatshop is the place where the students spend a bulk of the semester working on their final projects (good case in point: the C-clamp that we mentioned in one of our previous posts – which was by the way 100% man-made).Now you may be thinking, “Why are students working on such heavy machinery? What does that have to do with their studies?” Well actually, Dualtech firmly believes in the Dual Training system, which is a balance of classroom teaching and practical application. Cool, right?
Stay glued for out succeeding posts! Here’s a teaser, it has something to do with money! Woohoo!

where is this?
Hello Pagong! This is in the outskirts of Binondo! :D
Hello, thanks for leaving a note on my blog. The content of your website is so interesting; I've long ago wondered what students do in Dualtech. I look forward to reading more.
Cheers!
How does Dual Tech work, I mean do people just sign up to get in?
Hey sal! Good question :D Dualtech is a private vocational school for boys, meaning they have to pass certain qualifications (i.e. be a highschool graduate, pass the entrance test), in order to become a student there. :D hope that clears up everything for you!
Hey there witness street!! Thanks for the message too! So does this mean you've heard about dualtech before? May we ask, how'd you hear about the school? :D
these students rock! very hardworking and imagine creating a clamp for the whole sem? that's a lot of job
Sweatshop! yeah, people become involve in this kind of work because of poverty and lack of education. Education is really imprtant.... stop sweatshop
hi earl, i don't think they just make c-clamps. basta anything related to cars. like yung sa honda whatever churva
is this considered as part of their PE? hehehe. sorry, just curious! more power to your blog!

i share the same sentiments with twix. does this count as their PE? haha
Hey guys!! Thanks for all the comments! Never thought this post would bring so much controversy! Anyways, the name sweatshop is a nickname for the place they work in, just as how students would give different buildings in their colleges nicknames. :D Althoug the students working in the sweatshop really do sweat a lot, we've been told :D
