Abstract

Public Procurement and its continuing agenda for transparency, efficiency and accountability in government. In the Philippines, government efforts towards digitalization seek to modernize the procurement process with systems that are intended to make bidding more accessible and transparent. Yet even with these reforms, many agencies remain plagued by delays and inefficiencies, indicating that the transition to digital platforms hasn’t gone far enough. This paper examines how digital tools can mitigate the distance between innovation and performance in public procurement. A mixed method research was utilized, combining quantitative survey analysis and quantitative inputs from sixty (60) procurement practitioner from selected national government agencies in the National Capital Region. Analyzed that the main reasons behind procurement delays and assess the digital adoption, system compatibility, staff capacity, infrastructure preparedness as well as organizational culture. Results show that digital procurement tools significantly improved transparency and reduced reliance on manual documentation, with respondents strongly aggreging on improvements in procurement cycle time (AWM = 4.28), transparency and compliance (AWM = 4.30).  Additionally, many of the issues have been addressed through the digital channels by transparency and minimisation of physical paper work, however, challenges persist, particularly on the poor system integration, limited technical skills, unstable internet connectivity and resistance to digital change. Correlation analysis revealed a strong and statistically significant relationship between the extent of digital tool adoption and operational efficiency (r = 0.606, p = < 0.001), indicating that higher levels of digitalization are associated with reduced procurement delays.

Abstract

The study aims to determine the role of the Islamic principle of consultative decision-making, known as Shūrā, in the decision-making processes of the officials of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF). The proponents of this study employed a qualitative method to collect the required information, supporting this study by interviewing six executive and management-level officials of NCMF to gain their perspective on the issue, their practices, and the difficulties encountered in implementing Shūrā. The data were then subjected to thematic analysis using a six-phase data analysis framework developed by Braun and Clarke. The research revealed five primary themes, including: Shūrā as an Islamic and participatory governance value; Shūrā as a form of participatory and consultative decision-making; balancing Islamic consultative values with government procedures; Shūrā as an Organizational Cohesion and Trust value; and the sustainability and institutionalization of Shūrā in NCMF. The findings revealed that Shūrā provides participatory governance, cultivates trust, and bridges Islamic values and formal government processes. However, its continued application relies on making it part of the institution, not just tied to current leaders.

Abstract

The research entitled “The Dynamics of Workplace Bullying: Behavioral Indicators and Organizational Implications among Non-Teaching Personnel in the Schools Division Office of the Department of Education, City Schools Division of Cabuyao” explores how bullying happens in an educational workplace and among non-teaching personnel. The main goal was to understand what were the behavioral aspects that ignites to bullying in workplace setting and how these affect the people who experience it as well as its organizational implication, while indeed, identifying strategies or interventions to promote a healthy and safe working environment within the workplace in mitigation to bullying. The study used descriptive-explanatory sequential mixed- methods research design and gathered data from 77 respondents through an online survey questionnaire followed by a semi-structured interview among 10 non-teaching staff. Findings showed that behavioral indicators of workplace bullying such as verbal and psychological abuse; social exclusion or isolation; work-related harassment; and cyberbullying and digital harassment have a significant impact and implication to the organization in as much as job satisfaction and morale, psychological well-being and stress, team collaboration and organizational climate, and employee retention and turnover intention were concerned. Results also highlighted that these variables were contributory for the organizations efficiency in general. Workplace bullying, though rarely experienced, still exhibited in various injurious forms that significantly affect employee well-being and organizational performance. This underscored the significance of instigating proactive policies and support systems to ensure a healthy, safe, respectful, and productive work environment for employees and people in the organization.

Abstract

Violence Against Women (VAW) is a very widespread problem with no age, cultural, or socioeconomic limitations. Under the Republic Act No. 9262, VAW encompasses psychological, sexual, physical, and economic abuse among intimate relations, dating relations, or between the persons that share a common child. In response to this, the Quezon City organized the Men Opposed to Violence Against Women Everywhere (MOVE) Program that involved using men as a gender equality agent. This paper evaluated the effect of MOVE on awareness, attitudes, behavior, and community involvement of men on VAW. In a mixed-methods approach, 162 subjects were interviewed in MOVE sub-chapters in Quezon City Hall. Quantitative outcomes revealed an awareness increase of 35.1 in the form of VAW calculated between the mean scores before and after the program. The best outcomes were in learning about survivor support services and such concepts like toxic masculinity. Attitudinally, the participants strongly opposed violence, as they agreed that they should never hit their partner. There was also a high level of involvement in the program, 60.9% of the respondents said they were actively participating and working to revive the MOVE Quezon City Hall chapter. In spite of these gains, there are still challenges, such as the lack of community support and continued interest which can be an obstacle to the greater inclusion of males in the prevention of VAW.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of electronic collection (e-collection) systems on municipal revenue efficiency in selected municipalities of Iloilo Province, Philippines, within the context of ongoing digital governance reforms. While prior studies have established that electronic revenue systems generally enhance collection performance, empirical evidence at the municipal level in developing-country settings remains limited, particularly regarding how specific efficiency dimensions such as timeliness, accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and transparency are affected under partial system integration. Using a descriptive quantitative research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to municipal treasurer and accountant offices in municipalities with operational e-collection systems. Revenue efficiency was assessed using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed through frequency distributions, weighted means, and standard deviations. Results indicate that e-collection systems have a high positive effect on revenue efficiency, particularly in transaction timeliness (WM = 3.74), cost-effectiveness (WM = 3.73), and transparency and accountability (WM = 3.96). Respondents reported faster payment processing, reduced manual encoding, clearer audit trails, and improved public trust. However, the impact on delinquency reduction and real-time reconciliation remained moderate, largely due to stand-alone system deployment, limited system integration with accounting platforms, and uneven staff capacity. Despite adoption growth in 2024 with 38.10% of sampled municipalities implementing e-collection, more than 90% of municipalities still process less than 10% of total transactions electronically. The study contributes localized empirical evidence showing that efficiency gains from e-collection are significant but constrained by institutional, technical, and administrative factors.

Abstract

This study compared the effectiveness of implementing the GeoGebra, which is a dynamic mathematics software, in the teaching of the Polynomial Curve Sketching (PCS) module of Calculus 1. More specifically, it aimed at determining if there was any improvement in students' achievement in graphing polynomials after using GeoGebra as compared to traditional teaching and also at finding out the students' learning experiences after the intervention. This study was carried out as a classroom-based action research using a quasi-experimental pre test-post test comparison design with the two intact classes of first year Bachelor of Science in Mathematics students from Bulacan State University. Control group= 55 students, experimental group= 55 students. The intervention took place in a 5-hour teaching unit, within one week. Students' achievement was assessed by researcher-made pretest and posttest on Polynomial Curve Sketching and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were carried out to gain qualitative information about students' experiences of using GeoGebra. The results showed that both groups made progress following instruction but that the experimental group made greater progress on the post test than the control group. The experimental group increased from a mean pretest score of 4.4520 (SD = 2.1068) to a mean posttest score of 10.0302 (SD = 1.9881), whereas the control group improved from a mean pretest score of 4.1241 (SD = 1.6123) to a mean posttest score of 7.4733 (SD = 3.0592).

Abstract

The research in this paper aimed at designing, implementing and evaluating the novel biometric attendance monitoring system, integrated with built-in analytics for improving management in a church. Current approaches to attendance monitoring in congregations were often costly, in-accurate, voluminous, and inefficient, resulting in a lack of timely and accurate information for leadership to use in decision making. The suggested solution was to have the R307 fingerprint sensor to be embedded in the centralized MySQL database which would accurately and securely capture the time-in and time-out events with minimal inconvenience to the user. Several church services were conducted, and a 97.5% recognition accuracy for fingerprints and an average time to transact of 1–2 seconds were achieved on average, resulting in significantly less duplicate attendance and proxy check-in records. The system offered real-time dashboards and scheduled analytical reports, enabling administrators to view attendance trends, timeliness, and age group participation. These analytical skills helped to make tactical decisions, such as increasing numbers of ushers during the busiest services and strategic decisions, such as increasing worship time and offering targeted pastoral follow-up activities.The evaluation showed that the overall results of the user acceptance rate based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) were high, with the attitude to use, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use with excellent ratings of 99.6%, 99.8%, and 99.8%, respectively.
