2. Those who have completed the Eighth Grade abroad are eligible for admission to Grade 9, but shall take Filipino 7.
3. Those who have completed Grade 9 abroad are eligible for Grade 10 but shall take Filipino 7 and 8.
4. Those who have completed the Grade 10 abroad are eligible for Grade 11 but shall take Filipino 7 and 8. They need not take Filipino 9 or 10 in order to finish Junior High School.
