Eriza’s Language School wins ABMC English training contract in Manila

Eriza’s Language School has landed a 20-week workplace English contract with the American Battle Monuments Commission for four staff members at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. The program is meant to improve day-to-day communication with international visitors, researchers and military delegations at the ABMC’s largest overseas site.

Why it matters: - The contract puts workplace English training inside a major U.S. government-run memorial site that handles international traffic and formal diplomatic visits. - The program is designed to improve how support staff communicate in a setting where clear English can affect visitor service, coordination and daily operations. - The award adds another institutional client to Eriza’s Language School’s portfolio in government and diplomatic training.

What happened: - Eriza’s Language School won an institutional contract from the American Battle Monuments Commission to teach workplace English to four staff members at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. - The program runs for 20 weeks and totals 80 hours of instruction. - Training is set at four hours per week. - The site is in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, Manila, Philippines. - The contract was announced July 8, 2026.

The details: - The instruction uses a hybrid format that combines synchronous online lessons with in-person training at the Fort Bonifacio facility. - The curriculum focuses on practical, job-specific terminology for daily operations at the 152-acre site. - The training is aimed at support personnel who interact with international visitors, researchers and official military delegations. - The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial is the largest overseas site administered by the ABMC. - The ABMC is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government that oversees 26 permanent military cemeteries and 31 federal memorials, monuments and markers across 17 countries. - The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial is the agency’s largest overseas cemetery by number of burials and a key site for historical preservation and public education tied to the World War II Pacific Theater.

Between the lines: - The award suggests Eriza’s Language School is positioning itself as a specialist provider for institutional language needs, not just private ESL instruction. - The contract also signals continued demand for practical English training in government-linked environments that serve international audiences. - Founder Eriza Cuizon said the ABMC contract demonstrates the school’s ability to meet rigorous government procurement standards for language education. - Cuizon also said the school provides targeted, high-output language training that improves operational communication within critical international institutions.

What's next: - Eriza’s Language School will deliver the 20-week program through its hybrid training model. - The school is expected to continue pursuing embassy, government and multinational institutional clients based on its existing track record. - The company has previously delivered professional language programs for the U.S. Embassy in Manila, the Embassy of Austria, personnel of the Embassy of Japan and scholars supported by the Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan.

The bottom line: - Eriza’s Language School has added a U.S. federal agency contract to its institutional training business, with a focused English program built for a high-profile memorial site that serves international visitors and official delegations.
