Abstract

The growing market of glutathione products among young Filipina professionals reflects the enduring influence of colorism and celebrity-driven beauty standards in contemporary Philippine society. This study investigated the relationship between glutathione soap use and two potential influencing factors: attitudes toward colorism and celebrity endorsement-influence. An online survey was distributed to 207 young Filipina professionals (ages 22-35) residing in Metro Manila who had used glutathione soap for at least six months. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman's Rank Correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results showed moderate glutathione soap use (Mdn = 3), with moderate frequency (Mdn = 3) but low intensity of use (Mdn = 2). Attitudes toward colorism were moderate overall (Mdn = 3), with strong self-concept association (Mdn = 4) and moderate ratings for impression formation, affiliation, attraction, and upward mobility (Mdn = 3). Celebrity endorsement-influence was moderate (Mdn = 3), with strong perceived attractiveness (Mdn = 4) but moderate trustworthiness and expertise ratings (Mdn = 3). Neither attitudes toward colorism (ρ = -0.001, p = 0.986) nor celebrity endorsement-influence (ρ = -0.118, p = 0.089) significantly correlated with glutathione soap use. The regression model explained only 1.8% of the variance in glutathione soap use (R² = 0.018, p = 0.161). These findings suggest young Filipina professionals exercise greater agency in navigating beauty standards than previously recognized, maintaining critical distance from colorist narratives despite acknowledging their societal impact. This research provides insights for the skincare industry, public health education, and sociological understanding of evolving beauty standards in post-colonial contexts.

Abstract

This study examined the associations between queer media engagement, demographic factors, and social identity formation among Filipino lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) undergraduate students (N = 52, aged 18-24) using correlational analysis. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (ρ) revealed a significant positive association between monthly family income and queer media engagement (ρ= 0.28, p < .05), suggesting socioeconomic factors influence access to identity-affirming media resources. Weekly hours of media consumption demonstrated the strongest relationship with overall engagement level (ρ = 0.43, p < .01), validating the multidimensional nature of queer media engagement. Contrary to prevalent assumptions, findings showed a non-significant negative correlation between queer media engagement and identity formation (ρ = -0.16, p >.05), suggesting a more complex relationship than previously theorized. Analysis of identity formation components revealed stronger development in cognitive aspects (median = 4.0) than behavioral components (median = 2.0-2.5), aligning with established models of LGBTQIA+ identity development where internal affirmation typically precedes external expression. These findings challenge simplistic assumptions about media influence and suggest a nuanced dynamic where socioeconomic factors, developmental stages, and cultural context significantly shape how Filipino LGB youth engage with queer media and integrate these experiences into their identity formation processes. This underscores the importance of addressing potential digital access disparities and developing critical media literacy alongside increased representation.

Abstract

This study assessed the implementation and challenges of the Open High School Program (OHSP) at Doña Francisca Lacsamana de Ortega Memorial National High School (DFLOMNHS), an alternative educational model designed for learners unable to attend traditional classes due to personal, economic, or geographic barriers. Using a mixed-methods descriptive-correlational design, the study surveyed 48 learners and 16 teacher-implementers through validated questionnaires, with reliability coefficients ranging from 0.931 to 0.986. Quantitative data were analyzed using means, t-tests, and Pearson correlations, while qualitative responses were subjected to thematic analysis. Findings revealed that most learners were female (70.83%), aged 16–20, from low-income households (81.25%), and had parents with low educational attainment. While 35.42% of learners performed at an outstanding academic level, 20.84% did not meet expectations. The OHSP was generally well-implemented across four dimensions (M = 3.37 for learners, M = 3.32 for teachers), with no statistically significant difference in perceptions (t = 0.24, p = 0.82). Correlational analysis showed no significant relationships between implementation and learner or teacher profiles, underscoring the program’s equitable reach. However, recurring challenges included limited parental support, inconsistent technology access, and gaps in teacher coordination and instructional delivery. Aligned with global findings on flexible education and student engagement, this study highlights the potential of OHSP to promote educational equity. It recommends enhanced parent training, regular teacher upskilling in digital pedagogy, and stronger community-school collaboration to sustain and improve program outcomes.

Abstract

The present status of sugarcane farming in the Philippines is very low at an average of 57.36 tons per hectare (TC/ha), way below the national target of 75 TC/ha For the seven location covered by this study the total area planted is 93,354.03 hectares with an average 54.35 TC/ha. This study used the descriptive method and in the gathering of data the instrument prepared by Oñal (2021) was utilized. For this study, 320 sugarcane farmers were randomly identify as respondents. High significant difference is shown with the level of production of sugarcane at the Visayas, Philippines when group by location with a mean of 2.28 (5%). Furthermore, the level of production as influence by the duration of rainfall was statistically significant at 1% level with a production mean of 2.26. Relatively, the level of production of sugarcane planted at different type of soil is statistically significant as well, at 1% level with a production mean of 2.43. The further revealed that there is a signification correlation between the sugarcane production and the duration of rainfall as well as the production and the type of soils at 1% level of significant respectively. The results of the study indicates that in order to increase the production of sugarcane it is best to plant the crop in a loamy or mixed soil. If the area has no irrigation-facilities, the timing of planting should be religiously observe so that sugarcane plant can receive the rainfall in a period of 5 months or more within its entire growing period.

Abstract

Enterobiasis, commonly known as pinworm infection, is caused by the roundworm Enterobius vermicularis, and is considered the most prevalent parasitic infection in humans worldwide. This study aims to determine the prevalence of Enterobius vermicularis among primary school children in Barangay Gravahan, Matina, Davao City. The researchers utilized a Quantitative Correlational Research Design to determine if there is a significant association between the participants’ demographic profile and the prevalence of Enterobiasis, using a Chi-Square Test for Association. A purposive sampling technique was used to select children aged 6-12 from different households in Barangay Gravahan, Matina as study participants. Specimen collection was conducted early in the morning using the adhesive cellophane tape method. Results showed an overall prevalence of 35.0% for Enterobiasis, with 14 out of 40 samples testing positive for Enterobius vermicularis eggs. Additionally, the study found no significant correlation (p-value: >0.05) between the prevalence of Enterobiasis and the participants' demographic profile. The results highlighted that Enterobius vermicularis remains a significant health issue for children aged 6-12. To help prevent its spread, it is important to practice good hand hygiene, avoid habits that can spread pinworm eggs (such as nail biting), and taking daily morning showers to remove any eggs deposited overnight.

Abstract

This study aims to assess parasitic contamination in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) from selected public markets in Davao City, Philippines. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, a total of 60 samples were collected from Agdao, Bankerohan, and Toril Public Markets. Each sample was placed in sterile plastic bags and sent to the University of Mindanao Medical Technology Laboratory for examination. Using the method of Hoffman, Pons, and Janer, the samples were washed with saline, filtered, and examined using direct wet mount technique after overnight sedimentation. Four samples were positive for parasites, corresponding to a total prevalence of 6.67 percent. The parasites identified were Strongyloides stercoralis, Balantidium spp., filariform larva, and a trematode egg. It was also found that there is no significant difference in parasitic contamination among the three public markets. The presence of parasites in commonly consumed raw vegetables like lettuce poses a significant threat to consumer safety. Hence, the researchers recommend that local health agencies in the community strengthen educational initiatives targeting vendors, food handlers, consumers, and the general public on proper vegetable handling and safe preparation practices. It is recommended that further research be conducted on effective methods for washing lettuce and other vegetables before consumption to safeguard the public from possible parasitic infections and outbreaks in the future.

Abstract

This study explores the emotional challenges and coping strategies of temporary permanent faculty members in a state college in the Bicol Region, whose positions were opened for public application, placing them in a state of employment precarity. Anchored on Lazarus and Folkman’s Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, this qualitative case study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of how faculty members perceive, experience, and respond to job-related uncertainty. Five faculty members from diverse disciplines—Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, Electrical Technology, and Agriculture—participated in semi-structured, one-on-one interviews. Through thematic analysis, key emotional responses were identified, including persistent anxiety, diminished self-worth, professional disillusionment, and fear of displacement. The analysis also revealed coping mechanisms rooted in relational, cognitive, and spiritual domains, such as leaning on familial and peer support, engaging in religious reflection, and reframing negative experiences with professional optimism. These findings illuminate how employment insecurity not only disrupts professional stability but also deeply impacts faculty well-being and institutional trust. The study suggests the urgent need for transparent and supportive communication protocols in higher education institutions to buffer the psychosocial toll of employment transitions.

Abstract

Contemporary Philippine arts in senior high schools demands innovative approaches to engage students meaningfully. Although virtual reality and 360º videos have been explored in educational settings, limited research has investigated the impact of 360-degree photos, particularly in the context of Philippine Contemporary Arts education. This study addresses this gap by examining the effectiveness of semi-immersive imagery in enhancing student learning. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of 2D and 360-degree images in improving the learning interest and performance tasks of Grade 12 students in Philippine Contemporary Arts. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving a control group exposed to traditional 2D images and an experimental group using 360-degree images. Data were collected using pre-tests, post-tests survey which were validated instrument that measured four indicators of learning interest: pleasure, attention, interest, and engagement. Findings revealed that students in the 360-degree group demonstrated significantly higher post-test scores and stronger learning interest across all indicators (p < 0.05) compared to the 2D group. Moreover, their performance tasks showed greater improvement, with mean scores increasing from 13.00 ("Good") to 16.00 ("Excellent"). Outputs from the 360-degree group reflected enhanced creativity, spatial awareness, and curatorial thinking. In contrast, the 2D group’s work, while technically accurate, less imaginative in depth and showed limited growth. The study affirms the effectiveness of 360-degree photo integration in fostering both cognitive and affective learning outcomes in art education. However, the study is limited in scope, as it involved only one public high school, a specific subject (Contemporary Arts), and a relatively small sample size. Additionally, the intervention period was brief, and long-term retention and applicability across different disciplines were not explored. Despite these limitations, the findings provide valuable insights into the use of 360-degree imagery as an accessible and engaging tool for enhancing arts instruction in the Philippine senior high school context.

Abstract

This study assessed the enforcement of the comprehensive dangerous drug law in Carmona City, Province of Cavite, and its implications for the supply and demand reduction drive. A descriptive method of research was employed to conduct this study. The respondents were the police personnel assigned and the barangay captains of the different barangays within the study setting. The statistical tools used were frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean, and the chi-square test. The level of significance was established at 0.05. The study's findings reveal that the enforcement of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act in Carmona City is largely effective, yet impeded by significant operational constraints; nonetheless, this effective enforcement positively impacts both supply and demand reduction efforts concerning dangerous drugs, underscoring the essential requirement for ongoing capacity-building, institutional support, and policy reinforcement to guarantee the sustained success of anti-drug initiatives in local communities.

Abstract

Economic abuse has a deeper and more lasting impact on women than on men, severely affecting their financial stability, independence, and ability to make life choices. It often involves control over their money, employment, property, and education. A study conducted in the National Capital Region examined women's experiences of economic abuse, using three groups: Inner Wheel Club members, SSS personnel, and LGU employees, each sampled with different methods. The findings revealed that economic abuse prevents many women from starting or managing businesses, keeping jobs, or making independent decisions. Common forms include financial control, workplace sabotage, and theft of money or resources. Some women were burdened with debts in their or their children’s names. The study recommends a law requiring husbands to financially support their wives and families, with penalties for non-compliance. Agencies like the PNP, DSWD, and the judiciary should enforce this law. Support measures should include providing women and children with shelter and essentials during legal proceedings and restricting abusive husbands’ access to their wives during trials. Women should also have legal access to financial records, shared accounts, and property. These protections are essential to restore women's financial autonomy and protect them from further harm.
