Abstract

The Vision, Mission, Developmental Goals, and Core Values (VMDGCV) define the strategic orientation and identity of higher education institutions. In technical fields like Electrical Engineering (EE), adherence to these institutional statements guarantees program relevance, stakeholder involvement, and preparedness for accreditation. This research assessed the understanding and acceptability of Nueva Vizcaya State University’s (NVSU) amended VMDGCV among electrical engineering stakeholders, including students, teachers, staff, alumni, and parents. Data were collected from 120 purposively chosen respondents using a descriptive-quantitative methodology and a validated survey. Two principal dimensions—awareness and acceptability—were examined using descriptive statistics and ANOVA. The findings indicated that respondents exhibited modest awareness (mean = 3.28, SD = 0.69), with the university's developmental objectives for cultivating competent and values-driven graduates earning the greatest acknowledgment (mean = 3.60). The average acceptance rating was moderate (mean = 3.17, SD = 0.77), indicating overall endorsement of the institution's trajectory. Electrical Engineering students had considerably superior scores compared to other groups in both domains (ANOVA: F = 9.132, p < .05), indicating enhanced engagement via academic exposure. Conversely, instructors, staff, alumni, and parents exhibited diminished levels of familiarity and support. The research emphasizes the need of more effectively integrating institutional ideals across stakeholder interactions. Results demonstrate a moderate level of awareness and acceptability, particularly among students. It is advisable to implement broader communication methods and more inclusive engagement initiatives to improve alignment with institutional objectives and cultivate a unified, mission-oriented academic atmosphere.

Abstract

Purpose -  This study aims to examine the lived experiences of women-led homestay operators in the Cagayan Valley, Philippines, by exploring their motivations, challenges, and the opportunities emerging from their participation in homestay enterprises. Method - A qualitative research design was employed, using semi-structured interviews with 12 women actively managing homestays. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify core patterns related to motivation, operational constraints, skill development, and socio-cultural dynamics. Findings - The analysis reveals that economic empowerment, personal growth, skill development, and social recognition are the key motivations driving women’s engagement in homestay operations. Participants reported increased income, enhanced confidence, and improved competencies in hospitality management, marketing, and interpersonal communication. However, they also faced structural and socio-cultural barriers, including inadequate infrastructure, financial limitations, skill gaps, and heavy household responsibilities. Despite these constraints, women-led homestays generated positive community outcomes such as cultural promotion through collaborations with artisans and farmers, strengthened social visibility, and expanded livelihood opportunities. Originality/Value - This study provides nuanced insights into the transformative potential of women-led homestays as vehicles for inclusive rural development. By illuminating both empowerment pathways and persistent gendered challenges, it contributes valuable evidence for policymakers and development practitioners seeking to design targeted interventions—such as training programs, financial support mechanisms, and infrastructure improvements to enhance the sustainability and impact of women-driven tourism enterprises.
