Abstract

Due to the fast pace changes and impact of globalization and technological advancement, this is a significant challenge to the educational system. More importantly, the students, the faculty, the institution, the school administration, and the stakeholders have something to think over. Internationalizing the curriculum in the local context is a predicament that the government must address for students to be globally competitive and ready for the challenges of tomorrow. This particular paper analyzed the Philippine General Education Curriculum (GEC). The analysis of this paper resulted in two policy options which provided a comprehensive discussion regarding the ramifications of implementing the new general education curriculum in higher education institutions. Afterward, the paper also shared a SWOT and stakeholders' analysis to provide practical ideas and perspectives for school administrators to consider timely decision-making and school management.

Abstract

The study aimed to assess the organizational commitment and the internalization of the standards contained in the Oath of Government Employees (Panunumpa ng Kawani ng Gobyerno) based on the experience of the employee of the Local Government Unit of Olongapo. It will specifically focus on four key result areas reflected in the pledge of commitment: honesty and integrity, proper use of government property, fight against corruptions, technical and professional competencies. The researcher used a descriptive research method and utilized a cross-sectional design with the questionnaire as the main data gathering tool. The population of the study consisted of the employees in the different service-delivery units of a highly urbanized city in Central Luzon, Philippines. A sample size representing ten percent (10%) of the total population determined the respondents for the study. The sample respondents were selected among the different service-delivery units of the local government unit using a simple random sampling technique. This study intended to prove the significant difference in the organizational commitment of employees in the local government unit in terms of gender, age, and length of service. Furthermore, the research also tried to determine the relationship between the Oath of Government Employees – Based Standards and Employees Organizational Commitment in the local government unit of the involved highly urbanized city. The result of the study will serve as a basis to develop a proposed Service Charter for each of the service-delivery units of the local government of the City.

Abstract

This study seeks to evaluate the community water tank project started by the Community Extension Service Unit (CESU) of Gordon College in Olongapo City, Philippines. A group went to the area to inspect the water tank project during the month of March 2023. They gathered data by observing and documenting the water tank and its surroundings as well as interviewed the chieftain and locals. Based on the documentation, observation, and interviews, they did not give the water tank project priority in terms of proper management and maintenance. The lack of proper knowledge in water tank maintenance contributes to this finding in the community. Based on this premise, the researchers propose a manual for maintaining the water tank for future use.

Abstract

In an era where effective governance demands more than administrative acumen, this study investigates the pivotal role of phronetic leadership in fostering ethical and moral standards among elected local government officials in Zambales, Philippines. Phronetic leadership emerged as a crucial paradigm, emphasizing the cultivation of practical wisdom in decision-making processes. This study explored the relationship between phronetic leadership and public values among elected local government officials in Zambales, Philippines, to enhance ethical and moral standards in governance. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design with 156 respondents, the researchers used a structured questionnaire to analyze phronetic leadership and public values among local government officials. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the collected data using SPSS 29. Findings revealed that elected local government officials consistently practice creating shared context, communicating the essence and equity and fairness, while grasping the essence, exercising political power, and fostering political wisdom; they also face challenges in maintaining moral clarity under pressure and in promoting structural equity. Although public values such as justice and service orientation were strongly upheld in practice, weak correlations were found between individual phronetic leadership traits and specific governance outcomes. The analysis showed that leadership traits alone did not strongly influence public values in governance. This means that a more complete approach to governance is needed. This approach should focus on ethical leadership but also include support from institutions, citizen involvement, and the ability to respond to complex social and political issues.
