This study utilized a descriptive correlational research design to determine the workplace safety culture and clinical governance among 60 nurses in a private hospital in Lapu-Lapu City. Adopted Safety Culture Questionnaire (SCQ) by Sexton and Clinical Governance Climate Questionnaire (CGCQ) by Freeman were used in this study. The study revealed that majority of the respondents were between 26-40 years old, female, BSN graduates, staff nurses who are assigned in patient care units with 3-5 years length of service. The study showed that workplace safety culture was high among nurses in the research environment. In terms of its six dimensions, the study revealed that the respondents have very high safety climate and perceptions of management while experiencing some challenges in terms of working conditions and stress recognition. Additionally, the study revealed clinical governance to be high among nurses especially in terms of proactively managing risk. Furthermore, the study revealed significant relationship between the respondents' profile and workplace safety culture and clinical governance. Workplace safety culture is positively correlated to clinical governance. Workplace safety culture and clinical governance of nurses are vital component of patient care that will allow nurses to greatly effect positive patient outcomes.

It was participated in by 29 public school students with varied reading abilities. Using a single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design, the researchers assessed the reading skills of students before and after implementing Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) for one month in an English classroom. The data were gathered using the researchers-made questionnaires and analyzed using the Paired Samples T-test to determine the significance and the effectiveness of TBLT in their reading comprehension. Contrary to what was expected, the results indicated a decrease in the reading scores of the students in the post-test which shows that Task-Based Language Teaching was not effective for this group of students. The findings suggest that the effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching may vary depending on factors like age and learning environment. The limitations of the study include its short duration and the small sample size in which future researchers should also look into and consider a longer period in implementing TBLT in the classroom.

Employing a Posttest Non-equivalent Group pre-experimental research design to 34 students in Learning Support Program using the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI), the study reveals that the level of the oral reading of the majority of students at various levels are still at the frustration level with (LSP-Level 0 is 83.33 %, LSP-Level 1 is 40%, and LSP-Level 2 is 83.33 % ) in word recognition, (LSP-Level 0 is 58.33 %, LSP-Level 1 is 20%, and LSP-Level 2 is 16.67 %), (LSP-Level 0 is 91.67 %, LSP-Level 1 is 60%, and LSP-Level 2 is 75 %) in reading speed, and (LSP-Level 0 is 58.33 %, LSP-Level 1 is 30%, and LSP-Level 2 is 83.33 %) in comprehension. Additionally, the focused group discussion reveals that LSP helps them primarily with vocabulary building as the highlight, and the lack of differentiated instructional materials for the students as the lowlights of the LSP. Findings revealed that the Learning Support Program in Filipino is not effective in developing oral reading and comprehension among non-Filipino speaking students. The findings emphasize the need for instructional support across levels through comprehensive reading intervention.

This study utilizes qualitative research design, specifically phenomenological design. The researchers were able to identify 11 teachers who responded to the semi-structured interview using a Google form that was sent via Facebook messenger by the researchers. This study utilizes Colaizzi’s method of data analysis to extract emerging themes from the respondents' lived experiences. The results revealed that the teaching strategies used by Filipino language teachers were condensed into the following themes. Teaching Strategies: a.) Unlocking Difficulties, b.) Integration of Technology, c.) Code Switching and Translation, d.) Beauty in Diversity, e.) Practice and Apply. The study also revealed the teaching advice that the respondents gave which were also condensed into the following themes: a.) Know your students, b.) Positive Mindset and Sense of Consideration, and c.) Power of Creative Minds. The researchers recommend the following: (1) In future studies, more participants should be interviewed; (2) surveys and one-on-one interviews online or personally will be conducted to gain more information and experience; (3) application and implementation of these teaching strategies should be observed; and (4) investigate and evaluate if these teaching strategies are effective on the real-life setting.

It was participated in by 29 public school students with varied reading abilities. Using a single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design, the researchers assessed the reading skills of students before and after implementing Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) for one month in an English classroom. The data were gathered using the researchers-made questionnaires and analyzed using the Paired Samples T-test to determine the significance and the effectiveness of TBLT in their reading comprehension. Contrary to what was expected, the results indicated a decrease in the reading scores of the students in the post-test which shows that Task-Based Language Teaching was not effective for this group of students. The findings suggest that the effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching may vary depending on factors like age and learning environment. The limitations of the study include its short duration and the small sample size in which future researchers should also look into and consider a longer period in implementing TBLT in the classroom.

This study employed descriptive-correlational research. This study examined the characteristics that predict disease-preventive behaviors among college students, as well as the influence of demographic factors on these behaviors. Moreover, the research was carried out at Cebu Institute of Technology - University, situated on N. Bacalso Avenue in Cebu City. In this investigation, a systematic sampling strategy was employed, the respondents participating in this study were composed of three hundred eighty-five (385) college students of Cebu Institute of Technology – University. The study found that age affects preventative behavior. The type of program people is in also seems to affect their willingness to take preventative actions. The study indicated that younger people were more likely to prevent than older people. This may be due to younger people's increased awareness and invincibility. The study also found that people who were enrolled in programs that clearly explained preventative actions were more inclined to participate. Effective communication and education are crucial to promote preventative behavior across age groups.
