Filipino Education

Have you guys ever gotten the saying "anak edukasyon lang maipamamana ko sa iyo"? I have gotten that every time I get to fail in my exams. But I really agree with what my parents told me because Filipinos, naturaly, value their education so much and this has really been one of the major things that helped some of our countrymen to help themselves out of poverty. Do you guys agree that Filipinos value their education?
