Description In the evolving landscape of higher education and public services in a highly digital and competitive world, there is a greater need for flexible, accessible, and quality learning pathways. In the Philippines, the model of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) has become a strategic tool not only for students to access training and education, visibly recognized during the pandemic, but also for Human Resource Development (HRD) in the public sector, where it supports lifelong learning, capacity building, and skills upgrading of the public servants that goes beyond the limits of time, location, and circumstances.

Description Irrigation systems in many developing countries, including the Philippines, often underperform (Suhardiman et al., 2014). The country depends heavily on irrigation for food and water security (Moya, 2018). However, frequent floods—especially in the lower Pampanga River Basin—have limited irrigation effectiveness. Among the five national irrigation systems (NIS) in the Pampanga Basin, AMRIS and PADRIS are notable. Despite their design areas (31,400 ha for AMRIS and 11,540 ha for PADRIS), they irrigate far less. PADRIS, for instance, irrigated only 6,900 ha in the dry season and even less during the rainy season due to flooding risks. Factors such as limited water, land use shifts, poor infrastructure, and climate impacts continue to reduce irrigation reach (Tabios & de Leon, 2020).

Description This study aimed to understand the psychosocial adjustments and academic performance of children from broken homes in selected secondary schools in Marawi City during the 2018–2019 school year, as well as the variables that influenced these responses. Adolescents who experience parental separation often encounter numerous academic and emotional challenges; hence, this study aimed to explore how they cope and continue to perform academically. The study employed a cross-sectional survey and evaluation research design, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative approaches. A researcher-made questionnaire, validated by experts in the field of education, was administered to 151 respondents from eight selected public and private secondary schools in Marawi City. The findings revealed that most respondents were female, aged 17 and above, with parents who were separated and had a low family income. Respondents often resorted to emotional coping, such as finding time to be happy, remaining hopeful, and praying. They sometimes adjusted socially by maintaining friendships. In terms of academic performance, they showed motivation to finish their studies, regular attendance, and satisfactory CGPA levels. The study concludes that faith in God, emotional stability, and support from peers and family significantly contribute to the ability of children from broken homes to cope positively and perform well academically.

Abstract Graduate education plays a pivotal role in enhancing educators’ competencies by equipping them with advanced pedagogical, managerial, and research skills vital for professional growth. This study assessed the professional impact and satisfaction levels of Master of Arts in Education (MAEd) graduates of Christ the King College of Calbayog City, Inc. for the school years 2019–2024. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, 250 MAEd graduates were surveyed using an adapted and validated questionnaire. Results revealed that most respondents were mid-career, female educators, specializing primarily in Educational Management and affiliated with public institutions. They held mid-level to senior positions and possessed significant teaching experience. Graduates demonstrated high proficiency in leadership, management, communication, social, and research skills—indicating the program’s effectiveness in producing competent educational leaders. Similarly, they reported a high level of satisfaction with faculty competence, instructional quality, institutional support, and available learning resources. Statistical analyses using non-parametric tests revealed no significant differences in professional impact or satisfaction when grouped by demographic profile, but a strong positive correlation existed between professional impact and satisfaction. These findings highlight that effective MAEd preparation fosters both enhanced competencies and greater career satisfaction. Consequently, a strategic enhancement program was proposed, emphasizing continuous faculty development, curriculum refinement, resource improvement, and professional growth initiatives to ensure sustained educational excellence.
