Abstract

This article examines the experiences of designated teacher-counselors in secondary schools within the Milagros District, focusing on their role in supporting student survivors of sexual violence. The study used narrative inquiry to illustrate how teacher-counselors navigate emotionally charged situations, frequently developing close, sympathetic relationships that put them under psychological stress. One recurrent narrative stood out as emblematic, highlighting the conflict between individual dedication and structural constraints, including poor training, ambiguous function definitions, and minimal institutional support. In the absence of structured mental health services, the analysis exposes how teacher-counselors rely on informal coping mechanisms, challenging widely held beliefs about school-based care. Some contend that although these spontaneous reactions show resiliency, they also highlight the urgent need for official, trauma-informed infrastructure. The study presents deeper concerns about how schools define care roles and how equipped they are to assist those who provide care for others.

Abstract

This feasibility study examined the proposed offering of a Doctor of Philosophy in Science Education at the Graduate School of Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology in Masbate, Philippines. Data were gathered through a researcher-developed questionnaire with demographic items, Likert-scale indicators, and open-ended questions. Quantitative responses were summarized using frequencies, percentages, and weighted means, while the written comments were grouped through thematic analysis. Stakeholders generally viewed the proposed program favorably. The strongest ratings concerned its relevance to current educational needs, the breadth of the curriculum, the preparation of graduates for academic and research careers, and the expected contribution of the program to science education. Lower ratings were recorded for opportunities to present at national and international conferences (M = 3.65), faculty-student research collaboration (M = 3.90), scholarships or assistantships (M = 4.15), and regular curriculum updating (M = 4.15). These findings suggest that the program is attractive to its intended market, but still requires deliberate investment in research culture, student support, and academic networking. The financial projection remains positive under the stated enrollment and tuition assumptions, with a corrected six-year cumulative net balance of PHP 914,700. The program is feasible in principle, provided that DEBESMSCAT verifies the respondent dataset, documents instrument validity and reliability, secures regulatory approval, and confirms that faculty, laboratories, research resources, and long-term financing are adequate.

Abstract

This convergent mixed-methods study examined the feasibility of offering a Doctor of Philosophy in English Language Education at the Graduate School of Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) in Masbate, Philippines. A total of 128 education stakeholders answered a questionnaire covering respondent characteristics, 19 five-point feasibility indicators, and open-ended questions. Frequencies, percentages, and weighted means were used for the quantitative data, while written responses were analyzed thematically. Respondents rated all five domains very highly: market demand, resources and infrastructure, curriculum and course structure, potential impacts and outcomes, and overall feasibility. The strongest results concerned the program’s relevance to current educational needs, its expected contribution to institutional reputation and professional leadership, and the recommendation to proceed. The qualitative data, however, placed clear conditions on implementation, particularly faculty sufficiency, research resources, affordability, flexible access for participants from distant municipalities, and careful program sequencing. Under the stated assumptions, the six-year projection produced positive annual balances and a cumulative net balance of PHP 914,700. The program appears viable, but its opening should follow regulatory approval, verified faculty and resource capacity, a defensible cost plan, and continuing quality assurance.
