Abstract

This study investigates the narratives of contemporary romance among Filipino LGBTQ+ emerging adults, emphasizing their lived experiences, modern influences, and cultural determinants that form their relationships. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed to conduct semi-structured interviews with eight participants from a state institution in Laguna, Philippines. The findings indicated that romantic connections are crucial in identity exploration and self-affirmation. Participants characterized love as a collaboration founded on reciprocal respect, emotional intimacy, and equality, contesting established conventions and heteronormative standards. Digital platforms facilitated connections and provided safe spaces for users; nevertheless, they also engendered obstacles, including false expectations and superficial interactions. Cultural influences, including familial expectations and Catholic ideals, were substantial, offering both obstacles and avenues for growth and authenticity. This study offers insights into the interplay between identity, culture, and love; but, its limited sample size and concentration on a particular university restrict its generalizability. Future research ought to investigate many contexts, encompassing rural regions and a wider array of socioeconomic demographics, while analyzing the changing influence of technology on LGBTQ+ relationships. This study emphasizes the resilience of Filipino LGBTQ+ emerging adults and advocates for inclusive legislation and community assistance to foster acceptance and equality.

Abstract

Teacher efficacy is a critical determinant of instructional effectiveness and student outcomes, particularly in laboratory schools that serve as training hubs for educators. This study examines the factors influencing teacher efficacy in a public laboratory school, focusing on experience, professional engagement, school culture, and burnout. Using a survey research design, data were collected from 36 faculty members through structured questionnaires measuring teacher efficacy, school culture, and burnout levels. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were employed to assess the relationships among key variables. Findings indicate that perceived school culture has a significant, positive, moderate correlation with teacher efficacy, explaining 44% of its variance. Conversely, teacher burnout exhibits a significant, negative, moderate correlation with teacher efficacy, accounting for 18% of its variance. In contrast, teacher efficacy showed no significant correlation with length of service, educational attainment, research engagement, or extension involvement. These results suggest that institutional factors such as school culture and workload management play a more crucial role in shaping teacher efficacy than individual professional attributes. The study highlights the need for policies that foster a supportive school environment, reduce burnout risk, and integrate professional development initiatives to enhance teacher confidence and effectiveness.

Abstract

The migration of Filipino workers overseas remains a major socio-economic phenomenon, offering financial stability yet creating emotional and academic challenges for left-behind children. This qualitative phenomenological study examined how parental absence affects the academic performance of senior high school students in Los Baños, Laguna, whose parents work abroad. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with purposively selected Grade 12 students meeting specific criteria. Thematic analysis revealed three key themes: thriving amidst loneliness, flourishing academic independence, and repaying sacrifices through excellence. While remittances eased financial burdens, students reported feelings of isolation, lack of parental guidance, and academic pressure driven by the desire to honor their parents’ sacrifices. Strong communication and adaptive coping strategies emerged as vital in mitigating adverse effects. The study underscores the need for school-based support systems and policy interventions addressing the psychosocial well-being and academic needs of left-behind students.

Abstract

Entering marriage is a significant life decision that includes major transitions in one's life. The study investigated the perceptions of marriage among Filipino senior university students majoring in Human and Family Development at a university in the Philippines. It aimed to understand their definition and views of marriage, and the factors that influence their decision to get married. The study employed a two-step descriptive qualitative design, combining initial surveys to identify themes, followed by in-depth interviews for deeper exploration, and purposive sampling to select eight senior students aged 20-22 years old from the University of the Philippines Los Baños in 2019, whose responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that participants define marriage as a lifelong commitment to another person that is legally recognized and strengthened by intimacy. While they viewed marriage as a personal choice, they acknowledged its legal benefits, such as legitimate recognition of their children. Five key factors emerged in their decision to marry: influence of media, family pressure, financial capability, achievement of personal goals, and desire to build their own family. These findings reflect the negotiation between traditional family values and the modern aspirations of the younger generation in the Philippines. The study offers valuable insights for developing culturally-responsive relationship education programs for Filipino students and informing family-oriented policies that address the evolving perspectives of early adults toward marriage.
