This paper analyzes how the maritime regimental system instills discipline among maritime cadets and graduates and aids in their professional development. We focus primarily on graduates from the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA) and the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) and the challenges faced. Participants in this study include 106 graduates and 192 First-Class cadets and cadettes. Participants for the qualitative study included six shipping company officers that oversee cadets, and six school administrators that implement the Maritime Regimental System. The study employs a mixed methods, convergent parallel design, and data collection was achieved via the internet. According to the results, professional success and the regimental system are influenced most substantially by leadership. Training was said to bolster confidence among cadets and bolstered the ability to oversee and evaluate decision making on training ships. Graduates confirmed that the system aids in adjusting to training on a ship, adherence to safety regulations, and aids in progression to assume roles of authority. The system's overall impact on character, work ethic, and professional training was found to be positive.Several challenges related to the regimental system were identified. These included limited facilities, costs that constrain creativity, and a ratio of staff to students that hinders the possibility of close-up and individualized mentoring. From these, conclusions were drawn, and suggestions included areas for potential future non-regimental and regimental school-based research. Overall, the maritime regimental system is effective in instilling discipline and preparing cadets for success in their careers.

Reward systems are commonly applied in tertiary institutions, although their effectiveness in maritime colleges has seldom been empirically evaluated. In this study, the UC Reward System, an academic incentives scheme implemented at the University of Cebu Maritime Education and Training Center for almost two decades, is analyzed in terms of its effectiveness and its external variables in relation to the academic perseverance and academic performance of third-year cadets. The quantitative descriptive-correlational approach was used. Survey questionnaire and document review of the academic records of 236 third-year cadets served as sources of data, with the use of Pearson product-moment correlation to analyze the relationships among the variables. Cadets regarded the reward system as effective, more so in its performance aspect than its perseverance aspect. However, the results of the correlations yielded a different finding, with only the perseverance-oriented aspect of perceived effectiveness significantly correlated with actual perseverance behavior, but not with academic performance. As for the factors, intrinsic motivation and institution-related factors were found to be significantly related to academic perseverance, while extrinsic motivation, despite having the highest endorsement score of all motivational orientations, is not significantly related to any of the outcomes. Institution-related factors, on the other hand, is the sole variable significantly related to both outcomes. It may be concluded that the institutional context around a reward system makes for greater contribution to cadet outcomes compared to the motivational orientations of the cadets.

Filipino seafarers play a vital role in the maritime industry; however, many still face challenges in accessing timely and equitable compensation for work-related illness, injury, or death incurred during employment. This study examined the roles of Philippine government agencies in addressing compensation claims, the procedural mechanisms they employ, and the reforms needed to strengthen the process under Republic Act No. 12021, the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers. This study employed an exploratory qualitative research design using a phenomenological approach. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 10 Filipino seafarers, two beneficiaries, and five key informants from the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), Department of Labor and Employment/National Conciliation and Mediation Board (DOLE/NCMB), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), and Public Attorney’s Office (PAO). Relevant laws, policies, and agency procedures were also reviewed. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis framework. Findings revealed that while government agencies provide legal, welfare, administrative, regulatory, and dispute resolution support, the compensation claims system remains fragmented, procedurally complex, and burdensome for claimants. Implementation gaps persist despite RA 12021, highlighting the need for stronger inter-agency coordination, digitalized claims processing, enhanced legal and medical support, and improved information dissemination. The study concludes that while the government has established institutional mechanisms to protect seafarers’ compensation rights, translating policy into claimant-centered practice requires significant reforms. These reforms are necessary to achieve a more accessible, transparent, and equitable compensation claims framework for Filipino seafarers.

The study assessed the readiness of the Philippine domestic shipping sector for the implementation of the sulfur cap regulation under MARPOL Annex VI, focusing on Amoroso’s dimensions of readiness: cultural refers to awareness and acceptance, structural that refers to the institutional and resources capacity and operational which refers to implementation capability. It examined the regulatory requirements, national policies, stakeholder awareness, capability-building initiatives, implementation and enforcement mechanisms, international and regional best practices, availability of incentives and funding, perceived challenges and measures to support compliance. Mixed methods approach was employed, using a concurrent triangulation design wherein qualitative and quantitative data were collected simultaneously and integrated during analysis to provide a comprehensive assessment of readiness. The findings revealed that the Philippines has a well-defined regulatory framework and a generally adequate level of stakeholder awareness. However, significant gaps remain in technical understanding, financial support mechanisms, and enforcement capacity. Capability-building initiatives are present but require enhancement, particularly through practical and scenario-based training. Although implementation follows a multi-agency approach, inconsistencies in enforcement and limited monitoring resources affect its effectiveness. Furthermore, the absence of dedicated financial incentives places additional burden on shipping companies, especially small and medium-sized operators. The study concludes that the Philippine domestic shipping sector is partially ready for sulfur cap implementation. Strengthening inter-agency coordination, capability-building programs, monitoring infrastructure, and financial support mechanisms is recommended to promote effective and sustainable compliance.

The rapid integration of digital technology in education has transformed students on how to read, access information, and engage with learning. While online text, multimedia resources, and interactive learning platforms has become essential to education practice, digital reading progress as a significant area of inquiry. Even though it is a growing importance, the intellectual advancement and thematic structure of the field remain disintegrated. This study investigated the evolution of digital reading research utilizing bibliometric analysis of 562 English-language publications indexed in Scopus from 1992 to 2025. The publications were retrieved using search key related to digital reading, education, attention, engagement, comprehension and learning outcomes. Publication trend analysis, bibliographic coupling and co-word analysis were performed using VOSviewer. The findings revealed a marked increase in research output, particularly in 2020, presenting the expanding role of digital learning environments in education. Bibliographic coupling recognized five major search streams: digital reading engagement and self-regulation, technology-enhanced comprehension, online reading literacy and information evaluation, screen-versus-print reading, and reading modality with digital distractions. Co-word analysis showed four thematic domains covering technology-mediated learning, cognitive and behavioral mechanisms, digital literacy and strategic reading, and online reading comprehension within the New Literacies framework. Generally, the findings specified that digital reading research has advanced beyond print-versus-screen comparisons toward a broader emphasis on digital literacy, self-regulated learning, attention management, and information evaluation.

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.

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.

Universal Health Care (UHC) is one of the critical policies ensuring the equitable access to quality health services without experiencing financial hardship. In the Philippines, UHC was institutionalized through Republic Act No. 11223 and reinforced the role of the Local Government Units (LGUs) in implementing health reforms and modification responsive to the community needs. This study evaluated the transformative approaches to Universal Health Care (UHC) towards the development of a health equity framework in the local government level. It utilized the convergent mixed-method research design combining quantitative analysis of health outcome indicators across selected Local Government Units implementing UHC integration sites along with qualitative interviews with local health officers, policy implementers, and community stakeholders. The premise of the exemplified transformative approaches in the utilization and implementation to UHC in the local government ensure the provisions of comprehensive delivery of health services, health financing, governance and leadership. The major themes that emerged from the study were: (1) primary healthcare orientation, (2) equity-oriented health system, (3) multi-sectorial collaboration, (4) financial protection mechanisms and (5) continuous monitoring and evaluation. The manifested themes from this study supplemented the health equity framework in the local government level to strengthen the health system, institutionalize health regulation, ensure the stability of the health services, and provide equity-oriented healthcare system.

This study assessed the operational status, influencing factors, and challenges encountered in the implementation of the Philippine Coast Guard's Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) procedures for maritime law enforcement. Specifically, it examined the status of VBSS procedures in terms of operators' capability, technology application, procedural adherence, and legal compliance, as well as the effectiveness of VBSS implementation and the challenges encountered by operators. The study employed a mixed-methods research design using a convergent parallel approach. Quantitative data were collected from 305 Philippine Coast Guard operators directly involved in VBSS operations, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with 18 interview participants composed of 15 operational officers/team leaders and three legal experts. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that VBSS procedures were generally implemented effectively. Operators demonstrated high levels of capability, procedural adherence, and legal compliance, while technology application emerged as the area requiring the greatest improvement due to limitations in operational equipment and technological resources. The qualitative findings further identified challenges related to resource constraints, operational conditions, and legal and procedural concerns affecting VBSS implementation. The study concludes that strengthening operators' capability, enhancing technological resources, and sustaining procedural and legal compliance are essential to improving VBSS implementation. It recommends continuous competency-based training for operators, modernization of operational resources, strengthened legal capability, and enhanced inter-agency coordination to further improve maritime law enforcement operations.
