In today’s digital society, the widespread use of social media and online platforms has intensified concerns about the protection of personal information. This study examined the data privacy attitudes of Information Technology (IT) students at Bulacan State University, who are among the most engaged users of digital technologies. Using a descriptive survey administered to 350 students across year levels, the study explored their awareness of privacy policies, attitudes toward data sharing, and comfort with online tracking. Results indicated that while most students expressed high concern for online privacy and rated it as highly important, many simultaneously valued the benefits of free access to social media platforms despite potential risks to their personal information, demonstrating the persistence of the privacy paradox. Students also showed discomfort with being tracked for targeted advertising, yet their reliance on Facebook and other platforms underscores vulnerabilities in privacy practices. A majority recommended that privacy awareness training be provided during their first year of study, highlighting the need for early intervention. Findings suggest that embedding privacy literacy in the IT curriculum, institutionalizing university-wide orientations, and aligning with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 are essential to building a culture of responsible data handling and compliance in higher education.

Crisis management is a vital competency for elementary school heads amid increasing emergencies that disrupt education. This study assessed the profile, competence, and experiences of 150 public elementary school heads in Ilocos Norte, Laoag City, and Batac City, Philippines, using a descriptive research design using validated questionnaire and interviews. Results showed that most respondents were female, aged 41–60, with master’s units or degrees and more than ten years of service. They demonstrated a proficient level of competence in the four phases of crisis management: mitigation and prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery, with notable strengths in preparing drills, communication, and recovery routines, but gaps in mitigation strategies, crisis communication, suicide prevention, and psychosocial support. Qualitative findings revealed recurring challenges, including limited funding, insufficient crisis-specific training, and weak coordination with external agencies. These results suggest that while school heads are generally competent, their capacities are not yet fully developed to meet the demands of complex crises. The study recommends the establishment of a Comprehensive Crisis Management Program (CCMP) that emphasizes proactive planning, effective communication protocols, psychosocial support systems, and collaboration with local government units to enhance school resilience and ensure the safety and well-being of learners and staff.

Employee retention is a critical concern in universities, as frequent turnover is disruptive and increases operational costs. In Cebu City, non-teaching staff play a vital role in sustaining academic services, yet their retention often depends on how engaged and committed they feel toward their institutions. This study examined whether organizational commitment mediates the relationship between employee engagement and employee retention among non-teaching personnel in selected Cebu universities. Using a quantitative correlational design, survey data were gathered from 100 staff members and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Spearman’s rho, and structural equation modeling. Results revealed high engagement, strong organizational commitment, and generally positive retention intentions. Mediation analysis confirmed that while engagement directly predicts retention, commitment strengthens this link by fostering loyalty and value alignment. These findings suggest that recognition, fair policies, and growth opportunities enhance both engagement and commitment, leading to a more stable workforce. The study highlights the importance of non-teaching staff in ensuring institutional continuity and offers insights for higher education administrators on reducing turnover risk.

The accelerating demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) highlight the need to integrate technological advancements in education, particularly in technical-vocational fields like Drafting Technology. This study employed a descriptive-survey design to assess the competencies, pedagogical practices, and institutional support mechanisms of 35 Drafting Technology faculty members. Results indicated that while faculty displayed strong teaching commitment, subject matter expertise, and capacity to promote independent learning, gaps remained in professional certifications, industry immersion, and access to adequate facilities. Respondents reported active engagement in curriculum review and affective support for students; however, challenges included outdated equipment, limited modern laboratory resources, and uneven credentialing. These findings suggest the importance of continuous faculty development programs to strengthen technological proficiency, pedagogical adaptability, and industry alignment. In response, a one-year Drafting Technology Faculty Development Program was proposed, emphasizing advanced software training, industry immersion, and capacity-building initiatives.

This research aimed to explore the impact of promotional discounts, perceived scarcity, and emotional appeals on the purchasing intentions of college students attending a state university in Cebu City. The study employed a quantitative method that integrated descriptive, correlational, and predictive designs. Data were gathered from 395 students through a modified survey questionnaire, yielding a Cronbach's alpha of 0.924. The study employed descriptive statistics, Spearman’s rho correlation, and multiple regression to test the gathered data. The results showed that all three factors significantly influenced students' purchasing intentions; the highest predictor among the three was emotional appeal, followed by promotional discounts and perceived scarcity. This suggests that students may be influenced by marketing strategies that invoke urgency; however, what ultimately affects them more are those that give emotional sentiments while providing value with discounts and promotions. The study, therefore, concludes that students’ purchasing intentions are probably influenced more by marketing strategies that combine emotional engagement with a reasonable price and scarcity acting as a supporting marketing strategy. Furthermore, this research offers valuable insights into how sales promotions, feelings of scarcity, and emotional appeal impact college students' purchasing intentions.

This study examines the current qualifications of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) K9 Instructors in terms of eligibility, educational background, professional experience, rank, and training, and explores perspectives from select K9 instructors and officers of the PCG K9 Training Center on the required competencies specific to K9 instructors and the existing evaluation practices. Findings reveal that current tools for evaluation rely on generic measures and fall short in assessing behavioral competencies such as technical skills, kennel management, scenario-based training, and ethical handling of dogs. Similarly, feedback in the tool is a one-way process and is incapable of utilizing the results for the development of practice. These gaps risk mismatched qualifications, reduced instructional effectiveness, and negative impacts on student learning and ultimately on operational goals such as public safety, order, and trust. Moreover, this study highlights the best practices of the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), the Philippine Army (PA), and two private K9 providers in their K9 Instructors, handler training, selection, and evaluation. Based on these insights, the study proposes a standardized and systematized framework for selection, certification, and evaluation of PCG K9 Instructors, along with an enhanced performance tool. The findings aim to inform future improvements in PCG K9 curriculum and training standards.

The global shipping sector faces strong decarbonization targets, requiring major emission cuts by 2030, 2040, and net zero by 2050. In the Philippines, domestic shipping is vital for connectivity, making this challenge urgent. This study explored Filipino ECOPs’ roles, awareness, challenges, and opportunities in advancing maritime decarbonization policies and practices. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining survey responses from ECOPs, semi-structured interviews with participants, and document analysis of national and international maritime policies. Quantitative analysis assessed awareness and readiness levels, while qualitative insights revealed systemic challenges and enabling conditions. The findings revealed that ECOPs demonstrate moderate to high awareness of environmental aspects of decarbonization (68.6%), yet significant gaps persist in regulatory knowledge, economic understanding, and technical applications (48%). Opportunities for ECOPs’ engagement were rated as “moderate potential” (WM = 3.22), with enabling factors deemed “sufficient” (WM = 2.85). Respondents recognized ECOPs’ capacity to drive technological adoption and policy innovation, though barriers, including restricted access to decision-making, inadequate training, and limited mentorship, pose “major challenges” (WM = 3.15). Policy analysis affirmed national alignment but underscored weak mechanisms for meaningful ECOP participation. ECOP integration is vital to strengthening the Philippines’ maritime decarbonization agenda. Strategic measures such as advisory councils, capacity-building programs, and curriculum reforms are recommended to empower ECOPs for of sustainable shipping transitions in archipelagic contexts.

Digital Financial Inclusion has emerged as a critical driver for sustainable development, leading to a rapid expansion of academic literature. However, this burgeoning work lacks a comprehensive overview, resulting in a fragmented scholarly landscape. This study addresses this gap by employing a bibliometric analysis to systematically map the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of digital financial inclusion research in developing countries. Using VOSviewer software, co-citation and co-word analysis were conducted to identify the field's foundational works and dominant research themes. The co-citation analysis reveals six influential intellectual clusters, including financial inclusion measurement, the transformative role of mobile technology, behavioral models of technology adoption, and the importance of institutional economics. The co-word analysis identifies five major thematic clusters centered on technological innovation and adoption, sustainability and human development, the evolving financial system, core digital financial inclusion mechanisms, and macroeconomic outcomes like economic growth and poverty reduction. The resulting intellectual map serves as a valuable guide for researchers to identify trends and gaps, and for policymakers to make evidence-based decisions to foster a more inclusive financial ecosystem.

Research extension initiatives are central to the mandate of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines, yet their contributions to women’s empowerment and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remain underexamined. Existing literature emphasizes the importance of gender-responsive community programs but provides limited evidence on how gender mainstreaming mediates the link between extension projects and empowerment outcomes. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how SUC-led research extension initiatives drive women’s empowerment in Quezon Province, with gender mainstreaming as a mediating mechanism for advancing the SDG Agenda 2030. This study examines the role of SUC-led research extension initiatives as drivers of women’s empowerment, with gender mainstreaming analyzed as a mediating factor for advancing the SDG Agenda 2030. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining survey responses from 125 women beneficiaries with focus group discussions and key informant interviews involving SUC faculty coordinators, administrators, and community leaders. Findings reveal that extension initiatives significantly enhanced women’s empowerment by improving livelihood opportunities, leadership participation, and decision-making capacity. Importantly, projects that integrated gender-sensitive planning, training, and monitoring reported stronger empowerment outcomes than those where gender concerns were treated as secondary. Challenges included workload imbalances, limited institutional incentives, and fragmented sustainability reporting frameworks, which constrained the visibility of women faculty’s contributions. The study concludes that gender mainstreaming transforms extension initiatives into vehicles for equity and empowerment. By embedding gender-responsive strategies, SUCs can strengthen their dual role in advancing academic innovation and inclusive community development, offering a replicable model for achieving SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and related goals.

This narrative-plus-structured literature review examines how repatriated Overseas Filipino Workers in the Philippines move from necessity entrepreneurship to sustainable medium-scale enterprises and where support systems fall short. Sources from 2019 to 2025 were screened for methodological clarity and local relevance, then synthesized across five lenses: finance and cash discipline; governance and compliance; managerial capability and operating discipline; market access and supply-chain linkages; and technology and digitalization. The synthesis finds that while the ecosystem lowers entry barriers for micro start-ups, the pathway to scale remains thin. Lender legibility is uneven. Formalization and e-documentation requirements slow participation in formal markets. Supervisory depth and operating cadence often stall during the shift from founder-run to professionally managed. Accreditation and purchase-order documentation are pivotal for stable demand and financing unlocks. Basic digital tools shorten cycles and reduce errors when integrated into daily work. An actionable bundle emerges: monthly close within 10 days, a 13-week cash forecast, a compliance calendar and approvals policy, onboarding to e-invoicing and digital payments embedded in accounting and order tracking, a buyer documentation pack with on-time-in-full tracking, and supplier-focused coaching to build lender legibility. Moving from micro to medium scale is most likely when these elements operate together. Policy should test this bundle using longitudinal cohorts and quasi- experimental designs. Future research should track adoption fidelity, heterogeneity by sector and region, and lender responses to improvements in documentation and cash discipline.
