The concern for most public health policies and decision-makers is the equitable distribution of the nation’s healthcare resources. Also, in the public health care system, the primary aim is assuaging the burden of the disease. This study captures and evaluates some important health equity aspects with its relevance with the ART (Antiretroviral Therapy) program in India. The study is an exploratory and descriptive study based on secondary data. The sources of secondary data are published official reports from NACO (National AIDS Control Organization), United Nations AIDS Program (UNAIDS), World Health Organization (WHO) etc. The roll-out of the ART program in 2004 by the Govt. of India made a paradigm shift in the HIV/AIDS scenario in the country. “The adult HIV prevalence at the national level has continued its steady decline from an estimated level of 0.41% in 2001 through 0.35% in 2006 to 0.27% in 2011”. Equity in plain words means fairness. In the sense of health policy and HIV/AIDS studies, the reduction in prevalence rate equates to positive health equity. The enervation of HIV infection by taking ART drugs had helped in curbing the prevalence and the fact that it is provided free of cost has proven this program to be the epitome of distributive justice in public health.

Cipadessa baccifera (Roth) Miq was studied for its traditional use, phytochemical properties, and pharmaco-toxicological properties. The descriptive qualitative method was used in this study to describe the traditional use of the medicinal plant, and the experimental quantitative method was used to determine the plant’s components and capabilities. Assays such as Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), Chorioallantoic Membrane Assay (CAM), Brine Shrimp Assay, and Zebrafish Embryotoxicity Assay were done to profile the C. baccifera. Based on the results, traditionally, the plant parts were used as a treatment for diarrhea, toothache, cough, colds, indigestion, flu symptoms, dysmenorrhea, urinary tract infection, bleeding and swelling of gums, skin rashes, lowering blood sugar, dandruff, natural family planning, animal farm deworming and skin diseases. Its phytochemical contents include anthraquinones, anthrones, alkaloids, flavonoids, fatty acids, triterpenes, steroids, phenols, and essential oils. Furthermore, the CAM vascularity inhibition of Cipadessa baccifera concentrations increased with concentration, indicating that the inhibition of vascularity increased with concentration. Similarly, the brine shrimp cytotoxicity test revealed that the number of shrimp deaths increased as the concentration of plant extract increased. Furthermore, the plant extract’s calculated LC50 was 434ppm. Microscopic analysis of the zebrafish embryo exposed to the ethanolic extract of the plant sample, on the other hand, revealed malformation in the larvae exhibiting scoliosis at 100ppm extract concentration. Additionally, at plant extract concentrations ranging from 250ppm to 1000ppm, retarded and coagulated embryos were observed. Given the findings of the research study, it is highly recommended that future studies include the ecology and biology of C. baccifera in the Philippines to establish a further taxonomic classification of C. baccifera endemic to the country.

This qualitative study utilized move analysis aimed at uncovering the structures of Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) between Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Stakeholders. Fifteen (15) corpora were analyzed based on the framework of Salim (2008) and the World Meteorological Organization (2012). The result of the study reveals that the most frequent moves and steps in all the corpora gathered were Move 1 (M1) Title, Move 3 (M3) Date of Agreement, Move 4 (M4) Parties’ Identity which consists of Move 4 Step 1 (M4.S1) Parties’ Names, Move 4 Step 2 (M4.S2) Parties’ Address, Move 4 Step 3 (M4.S3) Parties’ status/position, Move 5 (M5) Aim of the MOU, Move 6 (M6) Content including its steps: Move 6 Step 1 (M6.S1) Scope of understanding, Move 6 Step 2 (M6.S2) Mutual expense and reliance, Move 6 Step 3 (M6.S3) Confidentiality, Move 6 Step 4 (M6.S4) Implementation and termination and Move 6 Step 5 (M6.S5) Modifications. Further, Move 7 (M7) Signatures including its steps: Move 7 Step 1 (M7.S1) Names Move 7 Step 2 (M7.S2) Addresses and Move 8 (M8) Focal points. Overall, it is important to note that there are variations that exist in certain local adaptations and differences in how MOUs are constructed and written. Therefore, the result speaks that the widely accepted conventions of writing MOUs in the research locale highly vary from the existing moves which are mentioned in the theoretical framework of the study. This justifies the intent of the research which was to investigate the structure of MOUs since new results were found and explained in this paper.

This paper ascertained the perceived level of stress and coping strategies of trainers at Puerto Princesa School of Arts and Trades to minimize stress in the workplace. A quantitative method was used to find trainers’ sources of stress, perceived level of stress, coping strategies, and the relationship between the perceived level of stress and IPRC as an indicator of work performance. Data revealed that PPSAT trainers have similar or common stressors and perceived levels of stress. Their coping strategies differed in some aspects, showing uniqueness in dealing with different situations. More so, it was found that there is no significant relationship between the trainers’ perceived level of stress and work performance. Keywords: stress, coping strategies, resiliency, work performance

Effective English language teaching plays a pivotal role in achieving better performance in the campus journalism field. Accordingly, the researchers believe in the significance of enhancing the skills of advisers in teaching the language, providing ideas for managing the publication, and aiding them with innovative material. This study aimed to determine the extent of manifestation of teaching language skills relative to campus journalism. Moreover, it identified the challenges of campus paper advisers. Also, it developed digitized language activities for campus paper advisers. Parallel to this, it employed a descriptive method of research. Respondents were seventy-five (75) school paper advisers in Calatagan District. The statistical tools used were the weighted mean and Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings revealed that teachers’ level of teaching the English language was moderately competent. Also, findings exposed the challenges of advisers such as performing journalism tasks due to ancillary works, language skills, journalistic style, and method. The digitized language activities were prepared to provide the teachers with venues of teaching language skills through activities and applications in various journalism tasks. Thus, it recommended additional journalism training and materials, and innovative tools focusing on the four language skills. Also, it suggested that a similar study may be accomplished to determine other activities that could enhance language skills and school paper advisors.

The Philippine government strongly advocates the Rural Electrification Program for over 50 years, purposely to generate better opportunities that would propel socio-economic development. Various rural electrification initiatives were then established to attain universal electricity access but actual accomplishments continue to lag behind the targets. This study delved into the Rural Electrification Program of four (4) Electric Cooperatives in Central Luzon, Philippines, and assessed its impacts on poverty, health and well-being, quality of education, economic growth and development, industry and infrastructure, and climate change. A descriptive research design was applied and used qualitative and quantitative methods of research in collecting, investigating, and explaining the data. The quantitative method involving numerical data was gathered from the respondents through a survey questionnaire powered by Google forms while in the qualitative aspect, an interview with the respondents along with appropriate observation was conducted. Determination of different problems confronting the said program and the application of aggressive and more advanced strategies were conducted. Findings revealed that the biggest electrification challenge being experienced by Electric Cooperatives (ECs) was rural inaccessibility and remoteness of areas along with difficult or rugged terrain. Thus, the best-recommended solution for non-viable areas after trying all the possible options would be off-grid electrification. In conclusion, the implication of the findings of the study of Public Administration was deliberated to comprehensively assess the opportunities to attain an enhanced quality of life, better access to basic services in areas of health, education, and water as well as resilient infrastructure towards rural development, for the best interest of Filipino people.

This study identified the experienced challenges of junior high school chemistry learners of private and public schools in parts of Nueva Vizcaya in the enriched virtual mode. A qualitative approach was used to describe the lived and actual experiences of the learners. Responses gathered from the Google Form link of the four open-ended questions were coded, clustered into categories, and derived into emerging themes. Results from the learners’ responses revealed three emerging themes regarding their challenges—pedagogical, technological, and sociological. Pedagogical challenges revolved around their learning environment, inability to understand the lesson, quality of learning materials, limited access to learning resources, and overloaded lesson activities. Problems with technological insufficiency and technological literacy were under technological challenges and time management, lack of interest, lack of confidence, too many social media distractions, lack of support, difficulty in establishing connection and communication, and compromised health and wellness of the learners were among the specific sociological challenges. In conclusion, the unprecedented uncertainties brought by the sudden shift of learning modalities brought immense difficulties on the part of chemistry learners. Keywords: pedagogical challenges, technological challenges, sociological challenges, distance learning modalities

This study explored the current status of the research competencies of teaching and non-teaching personnel of the college that will aid as input to the college’s research development plan. The 110 teaching and non-teaching personnel served as respondents in the Research Competency Scale survey and employed a descriptive correlation research design. A Welch’s t-test and a Pearson Correlation were utilized to test the difference and relationship of variables. Findings revealed that the research competency of the teaching and non-teaching personnel is “moderately competent.” Their sources of research competencies were ranked as follows: 1-research ethics, 2-research inquiry/literature reviews, 3-dissemination of research/scholarly writing, 4-quantitative research processes, 5-qualitative research processes, and 6-research sampling methods. There is no significant difference between the research competencies of teaching and non-teaching personnel. Furthermore, education attainment significantly positively affects personnel’s research competencies. Teaching and non-teaching personnel with a higher level of academic degree (graduate studies) has a higher level of research competencies as compared to personnel who do have bachelor’s degree. Henceforth, it is vital to develop a comprehensive plan to increase the research competencies of teaching and non-teaching personnel.

Enhancing leadership competencies is crucial for non-academic employees to get promoted to an extant position. This study determined the leadership competencies of managers in a university as a basis for a development plan. More so, it used descriptive and correlational research methods and utilized weighted mean, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and Friedman test for data analysis. The embedded design in the mixed method technique was used for data collection of the five-leadership competency cluster on People, Team, Execution, Education (foundation), and Technical among the 123 respondents from three universities. Descriptive and correlational research method was utilized. Weighted mean, Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and Friedman test were used for data analysis. Key findings showed that females subjugated the non-academic discipline were mostly mid-’50s, married, finished a higher degree, and enjoyed a career for about 16-20 years. The most developed leadership competency was the technical cluster. SUCs managers were rated as more competent than private managers. On the assessment made by managers regarding the level of leadership competency based on demographic profile, the result showed that sex, age, civil status, educational attainment, and years in service had no significant effect. The correlation between performance rating and level of competencies has no significance. Using the assessed leadership competencies, a development plan for employees in the non-teaching position was crafted.

The embedded design in the mixed method technique was used for data collection of the five-leadership competency cluster on People, Team, Execution, Education (foundation), and Technical among the 123 respondents from three universities. Descriptive and correlational research method was utilized. Weighted mean, Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and Friedman test were used for data analysis. Key findings showed that females subjugated the non-academic discipline were mostly mid-’50s, married, finished a higher degree, and enjoyed a career for about 16-20 years. The most developed leadership competency was the technical cluster. SUCs managers were rated as more competent than private managers. On the assessment made by managers regarding the level of leadership competency based on demographic profile, the result showed that sex, age, civil status, educational attainment, and years in service had no significant effect. The correlation between performance rating and level of competencies has no significance. Using the assessed leadership competencies, a development plan for employees in the non-teaching position was crafted.

One of the biggest problems during election day is the congestion of voters in the areas where names, precinct numbers, sequence numbers, and voting status were verified. This is caused by the lack of a fast and effective system for doing the task. Few elections passed, and the said processes are done in a manual process. Recently, the Commission on Election launched an online precinct search and verification system but, the system failed to perform according to what is needed because it collects many user data the query proceeds and is very dependent to an internet connection which made it less usable in areas with poor internet connection. The mentioned gaps made the researchers think about how to improve the current system and make it more usable particularly in areas with poor internet connection. Using the Agile: Scrum methodology of software engineering, the researchers interviewed the election officer assigned in the town of Candijay. According to the election officer, having a system that would be able to search names, precinct numbers, sequence numbers, and verify voting status that runs without depending on an internet connection is the best solution to fasten the process and lessen voter congestion. The Voter’s Poll Precinct Search system has been developed based on the statements of the election officer and the current system. It is a localized system that runs on both web and mobile applications that searches voters’ information and status using a smartphone that aims to fasten the process of finding voter poll precincts, sequence numbers, and voter verification. The researchers made the clienteles answer the software usability questionnaire and received good feedback. Therefore, based on the data, the researchers concluded that the system successfully performed its designed task. Keywords: Mobile Application, Web Application
