Resilience amid COVID-19-induced remote learning difficulties is disproportionate for disadvantaged families due to structural inequalities. This paper investigated the resilience process of economically disadvantaged households by examining how they mediate responses to the challenges in COVID-19-induced remote learning. Utilizing a case study research design, 15 purposely selected households from Naval, Biliran, with children enrolled in remote education and monthly income below the poverty threshold, were interviewed using an interview guide, and their narratives were thematically analyzed. Results revealed that households mobilized their available resources to minimize the difficulties in COVID-19-induced remote learning. However, in the process, risks are shifted to their consumption, productive work and livelihood, parents’ health, and children’s learning. In the end, the resilience process of households was characterized by the management of time and capital and unsustainability. This paper argues that increased community and government support is needed for sustainable household implementation of remote learning.

Existing literature shows that visual art-making as a spiritual practice is more common among older adults. This study aimed to examine the experiences of individuals in early and middle adulthood who are into contemplative visual art-making as spiritual practice using Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological method. Twelve participants aged 31 to 58 were interviewed online. Results revealed 11 themes from three substructures constituting the overall structure of contemplative visual art-making as a spiritual practice. The first substructure is the lived experiences in visual art making consisting of four themes; the second is the forms of contemplative practice in visual art making consisting of five themes; and the third is the benefits experienced in contemplative visual art making consisting of two themes. Results underscore the value of a contemplative approach to one's visual art-making as a spiritual practice. Similar studies focusing on males, LGBT+, individuals who are self-taught in visual art making, and members of indigenous communities are recommended for further research.

One of the problems being addressed in the care of chronic pain patients is pain catastrophizing, an exaggeration of the threat of pain that results in a distorted perception of patients’ quality of life. Literature has yet to explore the relationship between pain catastrophizing and the perceived wellness of chronic pain patients. This descriptive-correlational study explores the relationship between the pain catastrophizing of chronic pain patients and their degree of perceived wellness. Historical patient charts in a local physical therapy clinic were used to gather data. Male patients are significantly more likely to be non-catastrophizers. Clinically significant pain catastrophizing scores strongly correlated to lower perceived wellness [rs(33)= -0.626, p=0.000], while non-catastrophizing scores only moderately correlated to higher perceived wellness [rs(54)= -0.520, p=0.000]. Both correlations were statistically significant. The concomitance between psychosocial perceptions and chronic pain necessitates the creation of a pain counseling program by pain specialists and counselors to holistically understand and treat chronic pain patients.

On top of the country’s predicament to bolster the number of vaccinated older adults is the perpetuating transmission of health mis- and disinformation. Following the approach of Grounded Theory, this study examined the role of radio personalities in the vaccination status of older adults drawing from the data of the 14 semi-structured interviews: seven vaccinated and seven unvaccinated. The study found that radio personalities contribute to their attitudes and behavior about the COVID-19 vaccines. The recurring information learned by older adults from them led to the discovery of wired and unwired trusts, placing both agents in the line of responsibility. This interpretation was derived from the dominant themes emanated by the channel of motivation, views toward radio personalities, emerging mis- and disinformation, credibility indicators, and substantiating information. The study recommended a full-swing collaboration between radio entities and health agencies to increase vaccination uptake among older adults.

The performance of a judge in the disposition of cases may be affected because of occupational stress. It may be both psychological and physical stress. This phenomenological study explored the work stress, stressors, and coping mechanisms of judges in Central Philippines. Participants were identified using a purposive sampling technique. Ten (10) female judges of the first-level courts answered using an unstructured interview. Six themes emerged from this study: deadlines in deciding cases, struggling with compliance with the reglementary period, balancing work and family life challenges, dealing with courtroom challenges during the pandemic, handling lawyers in the courtroom, handling various roles, and engaging in positive stress management activities. Hence, the multifaceted roles of judges in their work challenge them to dispense justice fairly. The prevalence of burnout and stress experienced by judges must be addressed.

In any school, creative learning as an enjoyable experience for students signals effective cognitive thinking in the teaching-learning environment. This study targets to explain the level of how creative and enjoyable learning statistics and determine its cognitive factors among students amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The study exploited secondary data from an existing study and analyzed it using descriptive statistics and regression modeling. Results showed that learning statistics during the pandemic is “moderately" creative (M=6.07, SD=1.86) and "moderately" enjoyable (M=5.78, SD=1.98). Based on Pearson correlation and simple regression, if the level of creativity increases, it is more enjoyable to learn statistics online. The regression model reveals that internet signal, students using cell phones, and how rewarding learning statistics is as significant predictors of creativity. Additionally, for older students, how rewarding learning statistics, physical health, and lower statistics anxiety are the significant determinants of enjoyment level in learning statistics online. In that case, to maintain creativity and enjoyment in learning statistics amid the pandemic, it is suggested that teachers must encourage and show a positive attitude to the students to lower their anxiety levels. Furthermore, teachers must consider interesting and healthy learning activities to step up the creative ideas of students and enjoy learning despite the adverse effect of the pandemic.

Building on research that problematizes how Filipinos embrace in varying degrees Roman Catholicism, my study probes how differentiated Filipino migrants intimately explore and experience Roman Catholicism's malleability as they create Filipino Chaplaincy in Brussels, Belgium. Using data gathered from the archives, interviews, and participant observation, this ethnographic study demonstrates that "standing for the marginalized" among the Roman Catholic principles, socio-political circumstances in Belgium, and the interpersonal relations within the Filipino community as potent forces for religious authorities as well as Filipino Catholic leaders' desire and project. While my study argues, these areas unveil the Filipino Catholics' strategic moves to create Filipino chaplaincy in Brussels. They also take their share in objectifying Roman Catholicism's very structuring mechanisms. By looking at this distinctive and religious form, we can inform critiques of the mainstream account of anthropology and, by extension, social science to the study of Catholicism.

This study explores the application of feminist pedagogy to create an inclusive learning environment. The teaching methodology has no standardized set of characteristics, aiming to address societal issues present inside the classroom. The objectives include describing the profile of the research participants, identifying their teaching practices, examining their experienced challenges, and gathering their recommended strategies. It follows a thematic case analysis design and uses Snowball sampling to identify four teachers handling different subject areas at the secondary level. After ensuring consent, they were interviewed online using Eaton’s (2017) interview guide. Ten themes under categories of practices, challenges, and recommendations were formed. The data analysis using Creswell’s (2007) spiral design revealed that all participants are self-identified feminists and use a student-centered approach. Moreover, results have shown that they empower learners through reflection and collaboration activities. The challenges revolve around learners' responses and attitudes. Maximizing technology is a primary strategy they suggested. This article illustrates how feminist pedagogy is a new option for teachers to provide learners with a safe space to learn, free from discrimination.

With the onset of the pandemic, small-scale fishermen (SSF) in the country have become even more vulnerable to multiple adverse stressors. It is important to remember that fisher households have minimal assets, and their ability to mitigate the effects of crises and shocks is restricted. This study aims to enhance our understanding of livelihoods by using the idea of resilience as an analytical tool in examining the different aspects of fisherfolks' adaptive systems during the pandemic and the role of the government in bolstering their livelihood resiliency. This qualitative study utilized a multimethod case study design, and for the data analysis, I utilized Clarke and Braun's six phases of thematic analysis. Four major themes were uncovered in the study: assets and livelihood resiliency; livelihood challenges and stressors in the pandemic; SSF with adaptive strategies vs. without adaptive strategies; and Government's role in SSF livelihood resiliency. The study produced findings on resiliency and adaptive strategies pertaining to livelihoods in the context of a pandemic. The study found that SSF who diversified during the pandemic were more robust in their livelihood than SSF who did not have any adaptation techniques applied during the pandemic.

The series of devastating typhoons during the COVID-19 pandemic was a remarkable event in the Philippines’ history of natural disasters. This case study documented the impacts of the two overlapping shock events on the livelihood of small-scale grouper farmers in the towns of Ragay and Del Gallego, Camarines Sur, Philippines, while reflecting on their coping strategies and social support. The findings revealed that the typhoons induced additional pressure on the well-being of the farmers while they were still dealing with the negative impacts of the pandemic. The contributing aspects to their livelihood vulnerability were attributed to their limited adaptive capacity to withstand various shocks and the susceptibility of their farm sites to repeated natural hazards. The study also identified different coping strategies the farmers undertook, including the roles of social support, in dealing with the impacts of these shocks. Establishing anticipatory action protocols is necessary to manage the long-term impact of repeated shocks to strengthen their livelihood and household resilience.
