Abstract

This community-based action research presents the implementation of the community-based reading program aimed at addressing the literacy needs of learners in Olongapo City. Utilizing the data from the stakeholders and barangay committees on education, the program identified learners requiring reading remediation and trained teacher education and communication students to deliver as implementers of the basic reading instructions. The action research initiative followed a structured framework: identifying needs, training implementers, program implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The study emphasized the importance of evidence-based practices, community engagement, and reflective processes in developing sustainable educational interventions. It highlights the potential of targeted programs to foster academic growth and strengthen community partnerships in addressing the community's needs.

Abstract

This paper aims to present the community extension project of local higher education in Olongapo City, Philippines. The project entitled “Project Tubig Para sa Lahat (Water for All).” is a collaborative effort of the Gordon College – Community Extension Service Unit (GC –CESU) and different Non-Government Organizations (NGOs). The project's main objective is to provide a clean water storage for every household in a far-flung community in Olongapo City. This project is an initial step towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) mandate, in particular SDG 6. After a series of meetings, a strategic planning, and months of preparation, the project commenced. However, there were some challenges in the logistics due to the distance and terrain of the place. Nevertheless, the project was successful and turned over to the community as a sign of community engagement to all parties involved. The whole community has full access to the water tank project, and many households benefitted from the said project.

Abstract

Green Accounting promotes environmental accountability; however, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the application of Green Accounting in higher education institutions in developing economies, particularly in the Philippines. This study aimed to find out the level of preparedness of the institution for Green Accounting by examining their operational practices, stakeholder awareness, and the factors that affect the institution. The researchers used a convergent mixed-method for this study that combined quantitative and qualitative data. A checklist was distributed and answered by 102 respondents to gather quantitative data and 55 students and staff were interviewed to gather qualitative data using purposive sampling to have a diverse group of respondents to collect their perspectives on sustainability regarding their own awareness, perceptions, and experiences. The results show that Green Accounting implementation is still in its early stage or just getting started on its implementation. Numerous environmental practices remain in the “In-Progress” category. Waste reduction and management rank highest, followed by energy efficiency and water conservation. The implementation results range from 2.12 and 2.14. Most of the actions do not require large funding and depend on people’s behavior. However, activities that require significant financial investment, such as renewable energy, are still in the “Not Yet Started” stage due to financial and facility constraints. Despite positive developments like low or no-cost sustainability practices, the institution lacks data tracking and does not have the procedures needed for effective Green Accounting. Interviews indicate that the perceived technical difficulty of formal Green Accounting discourages its implementation.
