Community Engagement, Solidarity and Citizenship (CSC) is a specialized subject that encourages the students to participate and contribute to the community, build relationships with diverse backgrounds, and assume civic social responsibilities. Proficiency assessments in this discipline are necessary to check the learner’s acquisition of competencies. Hence, this study assessed the students’ motivation and competence in CSC. Likewise, it identified the challenges encountered in learning the subject. Using a quantitative design, a validated and reliability tested questionnaires and checklist were administered to a total enumeration of 31 students. In data analysis, frequency count, percentage, rank, mean, and standard deviation were employed. Generally, the students showed a very high motivation and a proficient level of competence in CSC. Meanwhile, they were challenged in terms of teacher’s instruction that is out of their specialization, inadequate feedbacks for students’ learning, poor management in accomplishing the tasks, limited funding and facilities, little allocation of time per topic, and limited number of linkages for community engagement activities. With the identified results and challenges, it serve as basis in the formulation of CSC Primer for the future implementation and improvements of the transformative learning education through community engagement activities.

In response to the escalating mental health crisis that calls for accessible, evidence-based resilience programming tailored to students' needs, this experimental study developed and tested an online psychoeducational resilience program for distressed Filipino college students. Grounded on the mental health and psychosocial support pyramid and the Katatagan Resilience Framework, the program promoted resilience, mindfulness, adaptive coping skills, and well-being. Using a pre/post-test control group design, 45 students were randomly assigned to three groups (resilience classes, self-paced journaling, and control). Analyses revealed that resilience classes and self-paced journaling significantly increased resilience, well-being, mindfulness, and adaptive coping while reducing distress and maladaptive coping versus controls. Moreover, the resilience classes yielded better results than the journaling mode. Findings demonstrate the value of tailored, non-specialized interventions within the IASC framework for student mental health. This culturally nuanced program offers an accessible, scalable solution to support distressed students sustainably.

In the higher educational setting measures have been initiated to aid college students in overcoming various setbacks and hindrances that can limit them from academically performing well. Extant literature pointed out the significant role of resilience in addressing the concerns of the college students, such as drop-out rates, academic failure, high perceived stress, low school engagement, and poor sense of psychological wellness. Different variables emerge after data analysis were helpful in understanding the deviant points or outliers/distinct. With this, the present study aims to determine the outliers’ profile, resiliency component scores, General Weighted Average (GWA) and outliers’ detection criteria and; examining outliers using Stem-and-Leaf plots and Scattered Diagram and explored outliers’ distinct characteristics or emerging themes. The present study assessed 560 students and yielded 15 data outliers/distinct that appeared in Stem-and-Leaf plots and Scattered Diagrams. Eleven (11) outliers/distinct were identified as mild outliers/distinct, and four were extreme outliers/distinct after the observation was conducted. It is evident that four (4) extreme scores were described with very low academic performance, but the resiliency score fell into average to high resiliency values. The present study is vital in understanding resiliency and academic performance in the present context thus recommends the exploration of mediator variables namely students' innate intelligence and resiliency behaviors are product of extreme experiences that may affect the relationship between resiliency and academic performance.

This paper investigates the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on educational challenges and youth well-being in Iloilo Province, the Philippines. This article offers a holistic understanding of youth wellbeing. Based on micro survey data (N = 212), we conducted a mixed method analysis focusing on content analysis and logistic and order-logit regression to investigate socio-economic factors and spatial differences. Contrary to expectations, our analyses reveal no profound geographical differences. At the personal level, students struggle the most with learning, respondents identify families’ financial and work stability as the biggest concerns, adverse environmental conditions at the community level, and a lack of educational alternatives at the government level. Students’ happiness is mainly determined by the parents’ financial situation during the pandemic. Based on these results and given heightened societal and environmental uncertainty, we propose a stronger focus on educational management such as temporary (boarding) schools and sustained, long-term poverty reduction efforts.

Unemployment among college graduates has become a global issue that puts young people in a disadvantaged position. Employing a collective case study design, this paper aimed to understand Kachin graduates' life experiences, subjective perspectives on unemployment, and career interests and challenges. Online interviews were conducted with seven participants who had graduated but remained unemployed for at least six months. The results showed that political instability, a downturn in the economy, and a mismatch between education and the job market were the key factors that contributed to the unemployment problem of Kachin graduates nowadays. The research also found that low self-esteem, social isolation, and financial problems are the major consequences of unemployment experienced by Kachin graduates. The majority agreed that they had career interests in self-employed business but faced the challenges of lacking economic capital. In conclusion, the systems of social institutions were the key factors causing the unemployment problems of Kachin's young graduates; therefore, structural reforms are required to achieve lasting change. Putting this into context, unemployed Kachin graduates should try to be job creators at an individual level and in cooperated means rather than being job seekers or employees.

This qualitative study employed a descriptive phenomenological approach to explore the experiences of school principals who also serve as teachers in Leyte and Southern Leyte, Philippines. Thirty school heads, selected based on experience, marital status, and willingness to participate, provided insights through a Pre-Survey form and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis (Colaizzi's method) revealed challenges in teaching strategies, behavior management, technology integration, and parental communication, while strategic management skills included prioritization, planning, and stress management. Findings have implications for policy development, professional development programs, and curriculum design, benefiting scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. The study highlights the unique experiences of teacher-principals, contributing to scholarly dialogue on educational leadership. Recommendations emphasize ongoing strategic management training, self-assessment, and collaborative input. By exploring innovative teaching strategies and sharing insights, teacher-principals can enhance collective educational knowledge. This study offers valuable perspectives on educational leadership, guiding policies and practices for a more effective and responsive educational system.

The preservation of ethnic identity in a host society requires the ability of an individual to manage a balance between the need to adapt and the desire to remain connected to one's roots. Thus, this article investigates how the Kapampangans, one of the major ethnic groups in the Philippines, imagine and preserve their culture and ethnic identities in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Five (5) Kapampangan participants were identified through the snowball technique. It was found that the Canadian government supports individuals in preserving their culture and identity through programs, activities, and communities. Kapampangans utilize their native language, provide Kapampangan cuisine, and revive the Kapampangan spirit through festivities and gatherings to maintain their ethnic identity. These individuals acknowledged that maintaining one's identity in a foreign country like Canada depends upon how strongly one wishes to uphold his culture and tradition. This study offers valuable insights for Filipinos, Kapampangans, scholars, and other countries with an increasing number of such ethnic immigrants. This may also impart knowledge for migration studies and other related courses.

The study discussed the telemedicine trends in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2023. Determining the frequency of use of telemedicine, the factors that influenced its use before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects of telemedicine in improving the healthcare system in the Philippines. A systematic review was conducted using thematic analysis and the PRISMA checklist. The results presented a pattern indicating that teleconsultation usage corresponded to increased COVID-19 cases. Furthermore, telemedicine utilization surged from March 2020 to March 2022, with video consultations increasing from 5 to 495 monthly visits between 2019 and 2022. The study concluded that it was driven by increased mobile phone usage, improved patient satisfaction, government support, and increased video consultations, offering alternative healthcare delivery. Future studies should include more regions and timeframes to comprehensively present telemedicine trends in the Philippines.

Disaster vulnerability is not just a condition but a consequence of the interactions of natural and social factors. From this viewpoint, it is imperative to consider both natural and social factors when planning effective disaster risk reduction strategies. This study sought to determine factors that predict disaster vulnerability. Specifically, this research determined the associations between several socio-ecological dimensions (e.g., environmental, social, and economic profile), coping capacity, disaster preparedness, and disaster vulnerability of selected households in Dumaguete city. Using snowball sampling, a descriptive correlational design was used to collect data from self-report surveys of non-probable samples of 150 households from different disaster-prone barangays. Frequency count, weighted mean, and standard deviation were used to describe the data, and a multiple linear regression analysis was done to test the study's hypotheses. Findings show that the respondents manifested moderate levels of coping capacity and disaster preparedness while having high levels of disaster vulnerability. The study revealed that disaster preparedness and coping capacity were negatively correlated to disaster vulnerability. Aside from coping capacity and disaster preparedness, environmental, social, and economic profiles were also noted to predict disaster vulnerability significantly. Environmental profile was the most vital determinant of the participants’ perceived disaster vulnerability. To better prepare for disasters, it is suggested that city disaster risk reduction strategies focus on helping vulnerable barangays develop better adaptive capacities and manage environmental hazards. This could include providing training on essential hazard management and creating income-generating opportunities to offset the adverse effects of disasters.
