This study examined the motivational drives, experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms of elementary-level adult learners in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) during the school year 2025–2026. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected through survey questionnaires and thematic analysis. Findings revealed that learners demonstrated a generally positive level of motivation in completing academic tasks such as portfolio accomplishment, module submission, understanding lessons, performance tasks, attendance, and preparation for the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) test . Motivation was influenced by both intrinsic factors, such as personal growth and aspirations, and extrinsic factors, including family support and future opportunities. However, learners encountered significant challenges, including academic subject difficulty, financial constraints, time limitations, and emotional and psychological barriers . Despite these difficulties, learners employed effective coping mechanisms such as self- directed learning, persistence, family support, and goal-oriented behavior, which enabled them to continue their education . The study concluded that while adult ALS learners are motivated and resilient, they require continuous academic and psychosocial support. Strengthening support systems and improving instructional strategies are essential to enhance learner engagement, confidence, and successful completion of the ALS program.

Amasula, Maylin, Igot, Gladdemae, Agbo, Haine, Almario, Jave, Alsado, Gian Trish Shaeil, Amestoso, Isha, Amistad, Ronella amasulamaylin@gmail.com This study investigated the representation of Social Realism in Leoncio P. Deriada's selected short stories, focusing on the portrayal of Philippine realities through literary and thematic devices. It concentrated on the themes that are inarguably reflective of social realities of the Philippines, such as poverty, inequality, marginalization, injustice, and survival; and the various literary devices implemented by Deriada in the short stories The Dog Eaters, The Day of the Locusts, The Week of the Whales, and Chicks in the Snake's Cage. In a qualitative research design, textual analysis was used to identify patterns, meanings, and social realities in the texts. The research finds that poverty, inequality, marginalization, injustice, and survival are clearly depicted among the characters in their endeavors. In the selected short stories of Deriada, it is found that literary devices such as symbolism, true-to-life dialogue, local imagery, and regionalism further enhance the realistic portrayal of Philippine communities, especially those in Western Visayas. In conclusion, the chosen stories of Deriada are true reflections of Philippine society and can serve as a strong example of Social Realist literary texts. Future studies should focus on regional literary works and incorporate additional approaches to literary analysis to better understand texts as reflections of societies.

This study aimed to assess the socio-emotional quotient of kindergarten teachers in the Cordova District in relation to their profile, including age, sex, years of teaching experience, and educational attainment. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, under quantitative method. The data were gathered to determine the levels of socio- emotional competence across four domains: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Findings revealed that most respondents were female, aged 36–40, with 11–15 years of teaching experience, and had earned units toward a master’s degree, indicating a mid-career, professionally developing group. The teachers demonstrated a very high level of socio-emotional quotient, being “totally aware” in self- awareness and social awareness, and “fully capable” in self-management and relationship management. These results suggest that teachers possess strong emotional understanding, effective coping mechanisms, empathy, and the ability to maintain positive relationships in the classroom. Statistical analysis further showed that age had a significant relationship with self-management, indicating that emotional regulation improves with maturity, while no significant relationships were found between other profile variables and socio- emotional domains. The study concludes that socio-emotional competence is largely independent of demographic and professional factors and may instead be shaped by personal growth and reflective practices. Based on these findings, practical and voluntary strategies such as personal reflection, peer collaboration, classroom reinforcement tools, and participation in structured programs like the Teach Care Program are recommended to further enhance teachers’ socio-emotional development.

Discourse analysis studies language as it is used in context, focusing on communication patterns, social meaning, and interaction. This research analyzed the parent-child interaction among 20 selected Cebuano families in Cordova, Cebu, with children aged 5 – 10. The research analyzed the role of English, the communication styles employed, how often the English language is present in these interactions, and the occurrence of language shifts in these interactions. The study employed discourse analysis to analyze the audio recordings of parent-child conversations. Results showed that parents used English for educational, instrumental, bonding, disciplinary, and language developmental roles. The study identified casual, intimate, and consultative communication styles as common in these interactions. It also revealed that the English language was mixed with the Cebuano language in some cases; code-switching and code-mixing occur. Language shifts in parent-child interactions primarily during moments of instruction, discipline, and formality, and reverts to the home language during casual or emotional conversations. Each parent-child interaction reflected unique linguistic behavior shaped by parental roles, the child’s gender, and social-emotional dynamics. Mothers typically employed English in instructional and disciplinary contexts, while fathers used it more for bonding and playful negotiation. English emerged as a versatile language not only for learning and structure but also for emotional connection and daily routines, whereas Cebuano reinforced cultural identity and affective depth. Thus, the findings revealed the dynamic interplay of English and the home languages (Bisaya), emphasizing the importance of balanced bilingualism in supporting children’s language development. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of these language patterns on children’s linguistic and cognitive growth.

Eskrima, also known as Arnis, is the national martial arts and sports of the Philippines that uses sticks, knives, and various weapons. This study assessed the Eskrima Training Program in Marigondon Elementary School during the 2024–2025 school year to evaluate its effectiveness and propose recommendations for improvement. It measures the extent to which the program enhances students' Arnis skills, identifies the benefits they receive, explores challenges encountered, and investigates the solutions they employ. Using an evaluative research design, the research examines students' perceptions of the program regarding skills and physical and social skills development. Findings indicate that the Eskrima Training Program in Marigondon Elementary School is highly effective in improving students' physical and social skills, having the highest effectiveness rate, and enhancing students' Arnis skills. The training program also encountered problems, which were solved through the resilience of the Eskrimadors, leading to the training program's benefits. The study is highly effective in enhancing students' physical coordination, discipline, and engagement in physical education, proposing recommendations for program enhancement and focusing on skills and physical development.
