He felt the fatigue in the rebar, the microscopic shifting of the aggregate.

Abstract This study examined the integration of Philippine literature in the K–12 and MATATAG curricula, particularly in English 7, and its implications for English language teaching. Using curriculum mapping and Colaizzi’s descriptive phenomenological method, the study explored how literary texts are integrated across curricula and how teachers experience and respond to their classroom implementation. Data were collected through document analysis and in-depth interviews with Grade 7 English teachers. The analysis focused on the distribution of literary texts in terms of genre, theme, publication year, and regional origin, as well as teachers’ experiences, challenges, and adaptive strategies in teaching Philippine literature. Findings show that Philippine literature is present in both curricula but differs in integration. The K–12 curriculum demonstrates greater genre diversity, including multimodal and informational texts, while the MATATAG curriculum emphasizes poetry and canonical works. Both curricula share themes of nationalism, resilience, and cultural identity. However, gaps were identified in sequencing, reinforcement, genre balance, and regional representation. Teachers reported that Philippine literature supports language development, critical thinking, and cultural awareness, but its effectiveness is limited by learners’ weak foundational skills and lack of resources. Teachers address these challenges through differentiated instruction, contextualization, and interactive strategies. The study concludes that while Philippine literature is valuable in English instruction, its integration is not yet fully optimized due to issues in alignment, learner readiness, and resource support. Curriculum refinement, improved instructional materials, and sustained teacher development are recommended.

PROJECT RISE (Reintegration through Innovative Skills and Empowerment): A Livelihood Training Program in Bread and Pastry Production for Persons Deprived of Liberty. ACADEMIC FRONTIERS Multidisciplinary e-Publication, 1(4), 12. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17010480 Read File Author(s) Dela Cruz, Romeo L. Abstract The reintegration of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) into society remains a critical challenge due to limited access to education, employable skills, and pervasive social stigma. To address these concerns, Project RISE (Reintegration through Innovative Skills and Empowerment) was implemented at the Agoo District Jail in partnership with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). This livelihood training program focused on Bread and Pastry Production NC II, equipping PDLs and select jail officers with technical-vocational skills to enhance rehabilitation, employability, and self-sufficiency. The study employed a descriptive quantitative design to evaluate program validity and effectiveness. Twenty participants, composed of 14 PDLs and 6 jail officers, underwent intensive training and later the TESDA National Certification II (NC II) assessment. Program validation by vocational experts yielded a weighted mean of 4.69, categorized as highly valid across content, objectives, usability, and sustainability. Notably, all 20 participants achieved a 100% NC II certification rate. Beyond certification, the program generated substantial short-term outcomes. The establishment of the Agoo District Jail Bakeshop provided an in-facility livelihood activity, enabling participants to earn a collective income of ₱24,875 within six months. Skills transfer also occurred through peer mentorship, sustaining knowledge-sharing among PDLs under the supervision of trained officers. Two released PDLs successfully reintegrated: one gained employment in a local bakeshop, while another established a home-based bakery business, demonstrating the program’s real-world applicability and economic impact. The findings affirm the transformative potential of technical-vocational education and training (TVET) in correctional settings. Project RISE not only enhanced competencies and financial independence but also fostered dignity, discipline, and hope for reintegration. Broader replication of similar livelihood programs is recommended to reduce recidivism, strengthen rehabilitation, and promote inclusive community reintegration.

Abstract Nilalayon ng pag-aaral na ito na matukoy ang lawak ng pagkatuto ng mga mag-aaral kaugnay sa paggamit ng differentiated instruksyon sa pagtuturo. Ginamit ang deskriptibong–korrelasyunal na disenyo ng pananaliksik upang masukat ang ugnayan sa pagitan ng lawak ng pagkatuto at ng akademik na performans ng mga mag-aaral, gayundin ang lawak ng mga suliraning kinaharap ng mga guro sa pagpapatupad ng differentiated instruksyon. Kalahok sa pag-aaral ang mga piling mag-aaral at guro sa sekondarya ng [pangalan ng paaralan], na pinili sa pamamagitan ng purposive sampling. Gumamit ng talatanungan upang makuha ang datos ukol sa pakikilahok, kasanayan, interes, at oportunidad ng mga mag-aaral, pati na rin sa bilang ng mga mag-aaral, pamamahala sa silid-aralan, at mga kagamitang pampagtuturo ng mga guro. Ang mga nakalap na datos ay sinuri gamit ang mean, weighted mean, at Pearson r. Ipinakita ng resulta na nasa mataas na antas ang lawak ng pagkatuto ng mga mag-aaral sa paggamit ng differentiated instruksyon, samantalang katamtaman lamang ang lawak ng mga suliraning nararanasan ng mga guro. Lumitaw din na may makabuluhang ugnayan sa pagitan ng lawak ng pagkatuto at ng akademik na performans ng mga mag-aaral, subalit walang makabuluhang ugnayan sa pagitan ng lawak ng suliranin ng mga guro at ng akademik na performans ng mga mag-aaral. Batay sa mga natuklasan, mabisang estratehiya ang differentiated instruksyon upang mapaunlad ang kasanayan, interes, at partisipasyon ng mga mag-aaral. Inirerekomenda ng pag-aaral ang patuloy na pagsasanay sa mga guro at ang pagsasama ng differentiated instruksyon sa kurikulum bilang hakbang sa pagpapabuti ng kalidad ng pagtuturo at pagkatuto.

Using a descriptive-developmental approach integrated with a one-group quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test design, the study assessed learners' creative writing skills in imagery, diction, figures of speech, and variations on language. Three tourism brochures featuring Sugba Lagoon, Magpupungko Rock Pools, and Catangnan Bridge were developed through the ADDIE Model and collectively titled Siargao Awaits You . The brochures were systematically integrated into the motivation, recall, lesson proper, analysis, abstraction, application, and evaluation phases of Creative Writing instruction. A researcher-developed writing task and analytic rubric were used to measure students' performance, while the Department of Education Evaluation Rating Sheet for Print Resources was employed to determine the brochures' acceptability. Results showed that the learners' overall creative writing performance improved from Developing in the pre-test (M = 1.93, SD = 0.58) to Proficient in the post-test (M = 3.19, SD = 0.55). Significant improvements were recorded in imagery, diction, figures of speech, and variations on language, with Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test results yielding p-values below .001. The brochures were rated Very Satisfactory in content (M = 3.86), format (M = 3.98), presentation and organization (M = 3.73), and accuracy and up-to-dateness of information (M = 3.83). The findings indicate that brochure-based instruction was associated with meaningful improvements in students' creative writing skills. Evaluators recommended incorporating richer local cultural practices and character traits and producing the brochures in a larger A3 format to improve authenticity, readability, and learner engagement.
