In this paper, we present the result of our analysis on the mathematic test that was conducted in public schools of the Republic of Philippines. We focused on clarifying difficulties that students in Philippines are facing. At the same time, we tried to find hidden issues that are not so obvious from the cross sectional analysis. While the Philippines' new mathematics curriculum guideline-that is recently undergone huge educational reform for K to 12-enforces raising students' critical thinking and problem solving skills, we found that due to the formulated solving methods, students do not fully understand the concepts of, for example, "sizes of angles" and "largeness/smallness of fractions". It is, therefore, urgent to train teachers so that they can understand various problems students are facing and give appropriate advice to each of them. We hope this paper will be a stepping-stone for clarifying current educational situation and improving qualities of teachers and education for future through educational cooperation.
