Abstract

This paper aims to know the experiences of the selected Christian residents of San Juan, Ternate, Cavite in consulting folk healers and to examine the awareness of the participants in their church’s stance on folk healing practices. Folk healing was a huge part of Filipino culture long before the Colonial period. Folk healers or also known as Albularyos serve as spiritual and medicinal figures in the Philippines, especially in the provinces where there is poverty. This paper uses a Qualitative method through structured interviews to answer the research questions. Using Purposive sampling technique, 8 participants from Ternate, Cavite who are devoted Christians were carefully selected to be the perfect respondents of this study. Interestingly, all of the respondents are not informed about the church’s stance on folk healing, most of them are regular church attendees and also visit folk healers regularly. This paper offers recommendations to help the church disseminate her teachings without discrimination.

This study aims to explore this folk expression among Generation Z Filipinos at Granby Colleges of Science and Technology. This study utilized descriptive-qualitive design using semi-structured interviews. The participants of this study were selected using Purposive sampling; the researcher gathered 15 respondents from different provinces such as Cavite, Samar, Bohol, Iloilo and Capiz.

Abstract

This study examined the connection between parental involvement and Chabacano language ability among Chabacano-speaking students from Ternate, Cavite. Chabacano in Ternate is based on an Indonesian-Malay ancestry but it evolved into a creole language based on the Spanish colonial period. Today, Chabacano in Ternate is still endangered. A descriptive-correlation research design was employed to examine the relationship between parental involvement and Chabacano language ability. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire using purposive sampling which gathered 138 high school students, The study found that the students with more parental support such as support for use of the language at home and support for community-based learning programs had a greater overall ability in Chabacano. The study reveals strong and statistically significant correlations between parental involvement and all domains of Chabacano proficiency. The highest correlation was found in conversational skills (r = 0.584), followed closely by overall proficiency (r = 0.591), indicating that students who receive consistent support from their parents tend to perform better in using the language interactively. Additionally, some differences in demographic means demonstrated differences in proficiency levels. Overall, the study highlights the important role of family involvement in the preservation of minority languages such as Chabacano, especially in an increasingly assimilated community where family involvement can demonstrate an appreciation of the cultural and unique tradition that exists. It was concluded that a greater involvement by parents can reverse a decline in the Chabacano language, and the next generation in Ternate, ...
