The study assessed the perceived psychosocial impact of lockdown and life satisfaction of Nigerian working adults during the coronavirus pandemic. A cross-sectional research design was adopted, and 518 working adults participated in the study using the convenience sampling technique. Two sets of questionnaires served as the data collection instruments. Data generated from the study were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and OLS regression analysis. Results revealed, amongst others, that relationships with family members and neighbors, interaction with office colleagues, social connectedness, the use of social media, and shopping are the major psychosocial domains highly affected by the impact of the lockdown. Also, it was revealed that working adults in Nigeria are slightly satisfied with life during the COVID-19 lockdown. Based on the results, suggestions were made to mitigate the effects of the psychosocial impact of the lockdown and low life satisfaction during and after the lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Existing literature on school counseling site supervision has implications for its continuous improvement. Most local studies have focused on the perspectives of supervisees and with participants coming from Metro Manila only. In order to provide a clearer understanding of what happens in school counseling site supervision, the present study employed a descriptive phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of Filipino guidance counselors as school counseling site supervisors. Twelve (12) Filipino guidance counselors from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, recruited through purposive sampling, were virtually interviewed using an interview guide that was content validated by experts prior to utilization. Results revealed six (6) emerging themes: Assignment as Site Supervisor, Affirming Experiences, Challenges Encountered, Different Supervision Practices, Supervisor Preparation and Development, and Supervision Advocacies. Results may serve as a resource for site supervisors and counselor educators to improve practice.

The realm of academe has a vital role in civic engagement development among student leaders. The study aimed to analyze the perceived routes and attributes in developing civic engagement among nine former college student leaders from a CICM school recruited using purposive sampling. The study employed a qualitative research design. Online photo-elicitation interview with auto-driving was the main data measure. Participants were asked to take photos that best capture the pathways in molding civic engagement. Framework analysis and establishment of trustworthiness were employed for analysis and validation. Pathways are inculcation of values, spirited involvement in extra-curricular activities, embarking with a sense of purpose, character and interpersonal skills building, and rooted in chosen discipline or course. Moreover, the facilitative attributes are authentic social interest, pivotal core values, experiential learning space, and a supportive academic ecosystem. The pakikipagkapwa and civic engagement shared a common ground that the community is hindi ibang tao. Consequently, the synergy between routes and characteristics of the school molds civic engagement among the participants. It is suggested to strengthen its leadership training by including necessary characteristics or traits related to civic-mindedness and interpersonal skills.

One of the health priorities of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to promote mental health and well-being. The mental health agenda of the ASEAN region include public health strategies at the community level. The study employed a descriptive design to assess the extent of implementation of mental health strategies, the best practices, and the challenges encountered in local government units. It was administered to a total population of 90 respondents comprising healthcare workers, responders, and social workers. The findings revealed a poor extent of implementation of mental health strategies which means that only some strategies are implemented. The area on treatment and recovery was rated highest, interpreted as poor extent, while capacity building for mental health program administrators was rated lowest, poor extent. It was found that local government units are implementing best practices in mental health. However, several challenges were noted, such as the lack of formally trained mental health experts, mental health professionals, mental health facilities, and financial resources, which are indicators of poor and weak implementation. These challenges require strict enforcement by its integration into the primary healthcare program, one of the objectives of the law. The study significantly contributes to the few existing literature on the implementation of mental health strategies at the local government level identified as necessary, especially at this time of the pandemic.

This design ethnography was conducted in two fishing villages on Panay Island, Philippines. The study aimed to gather data about the mathematical activities of the fisherfolks to identify ethnomodels for the integration of learners' local mathematical knowledge into mathematics instruction. The local mathematical knowledge of the fisherfolks was used as inspiration and grounding for designing and developing a context-based teaching-learning material. Seven key informants were chosen purposively. Participant observation, ethnographic interviews, and elicitation techniques were used for data gathering and triangulation. Furthermore, IDEO's design thinking toolkit for human-centered design was used as a guide for designing and developing the teaching-learning material. The three-part analyses using LeCompte's item, pattern, and structure level analysis revealed that mathematical ideas were embedded in the activities of the fisherfolks and their cultural artifacts. Their mathematical ideas were elaborated in four ethnomodels integrated into the context-based activity book: "The Mathematics of the Fisherfolks".

Preaching is the most common and widely-used method in conveying a religious message, including the teaching of the Buddha in Indonesia. However, surprisingly, there is no standard to assess a Buddhist sermon's quality. Thus, this study examines the characteristics of excellent Buddhist sermons among Buddhist householder priests (Pandita) in Indonesia. Specifically, it further investigates the discourse of a standard of an excellent Buddhist sermon in the context of Pandita. This qualitative research employed a single-case-study method that connects the analysis of documentation studies, observations, and in-depth interviews. The findings exhibited three key dimensions and indicators through which a Pandita is expected to employ in their duties related to Buddhist sermon, namely, bringing benefits, skillful delivery, and quality of the content. The findings may benefit future research on the competency framework of sermon training in Indonesia for Panditas.

This explanatory sequential mixed-methods study determined the residents' perceived tourism impacts and provided an in-depth explanation of these tourism impacts to the community. The positive tourism impacts help enhances residents' living. Conversely, the negative tourism impacts are the challenges in the destination. Residents positively perceived the environmental tourism impacts while negatively perceived the economic impacts. Generally, positive tourism impacts outweigh the negatives. From the thematic analysis, three themes emerged, namely economic tourism impact, environmental tourism impact, and sociocultural tourism impact, with sub-themes of road development as an effect of tourism, tourism as a source of residents' income, and increased land value due to tourism; landslide as destination image concern and increased garbage volume due to tourists' influx; and interaction between tourists and residents and safety and security condition in tourism destination, respectively. The findings indicate that residents recognized the positive contribution of the Waterfall Leisure Camp to the economic, environmental, and sociocultural aspects of the community, notwithstanding its negative impacts.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, digital transformation of education has been more or less an area of science rather than a widespread practice in the Philippines, most especially in schools in the provinces. However, despite the unpreparedness of educational institutions, the digital transformation of education had to happen overnight, which greatly challenged the digital skills of teachers, especially those of the Baby Boomers. Utilizing a generic qualitative research approach, this study explored the lived experiences of the Baby Boomer generation in the digital transformation of the teaching and learning process. The participants were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The data were gathered from the six full-time online teachers utilizing the unstructured in-depth interview. The iterative process was observed during the interview until the saturation point was reached. The gathered data were analyzed using Lichtman's 3 Cs, the coding, categorizing, and forming concepts. The study revealed three themes with nine sub-themes. Their experiences surpassing challenges and difficulties include facing uncertainties and doubts, conquering fears and reservations, and overcoming limitations and frustrations. Their experiences specific to upgrading and recalibrating oneself include learning independently, seeking help from experts, and investing in technology and gadgets. Their realizations of positive outlook include preparedness leads to success, positive attitude creates positive outcomes, and commitment ensures survival.

Social communication is an essential church activity considering the flock's profile and the COVID-19 pandemic. The study determined the convergence and divergence of the parishioners in a Philippine Catholic Church Parish in the City of Dasmariñas, Cavite on Respect for Life, using content analysis and survey methods as bases for the development of a model for social communication. Results revealed that respondents were 31 years-old, female, married, college graduates, or attended college, with the parish for 16-30 years, Sunday Church-goers only, and not members of any Church-based organizations. Parishioners had converging conceptions about the "War on Drugs," extrajudicial killings, and the death penalty even when they could not join Church activities. Parishioners' compliance was acceptable with five convergence points: the sanctity of life, proper appropriation of justice, expression of gratitude for life, healthy living, and understanding the social context of the pronouncements. With this, a social communication model for the Parish Church was recommended, which other parishes may employ.
考虑到教会的概况和COVID-19大流行,社交交流是一项必不可少的教会活动。本研究以内容分析和调查方法为基础,确定了菲律宾天主教会Dasmariñas市(Cavite on Respect for Life)教区教友的趋同和差异,并以此为基础开发了一种社会交流模式。调查结果显示,受访者年龄为31岁,女性,已婚,大学毕业生或上过大学,在教区工作了16-30年,只去主日教堂,没有任何教会组织的成员。即使教区居民不能参加教会活动,他们对“毒品战争”、法外处决和死刑的看法也趋于一致。教区居民的遵守是可以接受的,有五个共同点:生命的神圣性、适当的正义、对生命的感激之情、健康的生活方式和对声明的社会背景的理解。在此基础上,本堂提出了一种社会沟通模式,可供其他堂区借鉴。
