Abstract

The Philippines currently depends heavily on fossil fuels, which are vulnerable to price fluctuations. In response, the 2023-2050 Philippine Energy Plan sets ambitious targets to increase the share of renewable energy in the capacity mix: 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. Achieving these targets require more than just policy—it needs public understanding and support. This study examines public awareness, perceptions, and attitudes toward renewable energy in the Philippines, specifically among respondents from Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, and Laguna. Through a structured survey of 386 participants, we assessed familiarity with renewable sources like biomass, geothermal, solar, hydro, ocean and wind, finding that while 70% are generally aware of these sources, only 30% know about local projects or government initiatives. The survey results show strong support for renewable energy’s environmental benefits, with 67% of respondents in favor, though 69% express concerns about high initial costs, and 57% are wary of reliability issues. Using statistical analysis, we found that age significantly affects awareness levels (p < 0.001), while gender, income, and location have minimal influence. These insights underline the need for public engagement to support the goals of the 2023-2050 Philippine Energy Plan. Our findings suggest that more targeted education, financial incentives, and community involvement could boost public support and address perceived barriers, providing valuable direction for policymakers to enhance renewable energy adoption across the Philippines.

Abstract

The study makes the case that adding social media campaign tactics to the requirements for local office holders will encourage more responsible, knowledgeable, and involved grassroots politics. This study explores the qualification standards for local candidates and how these standards can be redefined in the context of social media campaigns. As digital channels have a greater influence on voter involvement and perception, identifying the criteria that resonate with people becomes critical. The study highlights important characteristics—such as ethics, community involvement, and digital literacy—that distinguish successful local candidates. The study presents a methodology for optimizing campaign messaging and outreach by studying the candidates' successful social media techniques. Finally, the findings aim to help future politicians use social media to increase democratic engagement and develop meaningful ties with voters. This study emphasizes the essential interplay of candidate qualities and internet campaigning in determining electoral results.

Abstract

This study looks at how Valenzuela Medical Center's (VMC) clinical workflow efficiency and patient outcomes are influenced by the installa-tion of a Laboratory Information System (LIS). Due to time constraints, convenience sampling was used to collect data from sixty-three (63) medical professionals in the clinical and diagnostic laboratory depart-ments using a descriptive study design and a mixed-methods technique. To measure participant responses, descriptive statistics such as means, standard deviations, and frequency distributions were used. Using paired sample t-tests, inferential analysis was carried out to compare metrics before and after LIS adoption, with an emphasis on factors like error rates, turnaround times, and specimen handling accuracy.Key findings showed that LIS adoption improved data accessibility across departments, lowered transcription errors by about 28%, and cut specimen processing turnaround times by an average of 35%, all of which contributed to improved interdepartmental communication. Further-more, 90% of respondents expressed more confidence in the accuracy of laboratory results following LIS integration, and 85% of respondents re-ported higher satisfaction with data processing procedures. Significant improvements were also shown in patient outcomes, with quicker diag-nostic processing leading to earlier treatment commencement and, in some situations, shorter hospital stays overall. In addition to demon-strating the wider advantages of incorporating cutting-edge information systems in healthcare settings, this study emphasizes the critical role that LIS plays in improving laboratory operations, cutting down on diag-nostic delays, and improving the quality of patient care at VMC.
