Abstract

This study is conducted to determine the story of Carmen based on the lens of local. Narrative Inquiry is used to make the participants tell the story rather than answer the questions given. The study tackles the people connected to Carmen, places she had been, conflict in the story and themes and message that can be derived using Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual Stage. In the beginning, Carmen’s basic needs are met since she’s part of a rich family with everything provided for her. But despite her material wealth, she’s lacking emotional connection and love. She feels isolated and longs to belong. Carmen’s desire for love and intimacy clashes with her family’s expectations and societal norms. She’s torn between her desires and the need for esteem and acceptance from her family. Her story teaches us to balance our desires with societal expectations and not to neglect our emotional needs for the sake of material wealth and status. Also, this study aims to preserve the story for future generations and promote tourism in Cadiz City.

Abstract

Despite progressive research on professional communication, the intricacies of job application letter writing among Filipino engineering students remain underexplored. Crafting job application letters varies across different cultures. Factors such as environmental setting, social norms, and deeply held personal beliefs affect their standard structure. Existing studies indicate a scarcity in discipline-specific investigations that fail to emphasize the structure of job application letters of Filipino engineering students and the cultural factors that influence them. Recognizing this gap, the study provides new insights into the particular move-step structures used in job application letters by Filipino engineering students from state universities and colleges in Negros Occidental. For a more distinct analysis, researchers employed a comprehensive mixed-methods content analysis and Bhatia’s (1993) seven-move framework to identify different move-step elements, both obligatory and optional.  Researchers examined 40 job application letters gathered from various state universities and colleges. Through the frequency assessment technique, the study’s novel findings revealed obligatory moves (M1: Establishing credentials; M2: Introducing candidature; M4: Enclosing documents; M6: Soliciting response; M7: Ending politely) labeled as the “universal generic structure”. Meanwhile, optional moves M3 (Offering incentives) and M5 (Using pressure tactics) were omitted, reflecting the socio-cultural setting. This study not only sheds light on the existing conventions among Filipino engineering students but also contributes significantly to the broader discourse on professional communication practices that can enhance employability, sociolinguistic awareness, and discipline-specific templates.
