Despite the significant potential for ABCD technologies, the integration in healthcare, agriculture, financial, and educational sectors to increase efficiency, security, and ability to make decisions, challenges that are experienced include infrastructure constraints, skill gaps, and regulatory requirements. It manifests the enormous potential of ABCD if applied to engineering models such as Industry 4.0 and digital innovation in health care, e-commerce, and supply chains, predictive maintenance, transparent transactions, and automation. Early adopters can already be discerned in the Philippines, such as AI applications in agriculture and mental health, blockchain for secure records, cloud applications in education, and data analytics in health care-but still, lack of infrastructure and inability to find the people with proper skills slow the movement. Sectors like health and manufacturing, which have high growth potential, these technologies can become competitive engines for the Philippines. Recommendations on digital infrastructure, data privacy, public-private partnerships, and investment in workforce development would facilitate an enabling environment for supporting the culture of ABCD technologies.

Using a descriptive and correlational research method, data was collected from 51 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The findings revealed that most employees are male, around 35 years old, with college degrees, and 3-5 years of experience in rank-and-file positions. The assessment of supply chain management highlighted the importance of accurate demand forecasting, product diversification, and efficient distribution channels. Similarly, inventory management was emphasized for cost-effective operations, stressing the need to minimize inventory levels while maintaining adequate safety stocks. Statistical analysis showed a highly significant relationship (r = 0.9999) between supply chain management and inventory operations, indicating their close interdependence. Recommendations for improvement include regular assessments, enhanced inventory tracking systems, interdepartmental collaboration, training initiatives, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. This study sheds light on supply chain and inventory dynamics at IHI Incorporated, offering actionable insights for enhancing operational efficiency and achieving organizational objectives.

Focusing on whether specific attitudes contribute to career advancement, the research utilized a questionnaire to assess job involvement, efficiency, and organizational commitment among 305 employees from companies like Advantix Marketing, EMF Corporation, Gakken Philippines, Kolin Inc., and ASERCO. Analysis using Pearson correlation revealed significant relationships: job involvement showed a negative but significant correlation with promotion, while job efficiency and organizational commitment positively correlated with it. These findings suggest that while job involvement may not directly lead to promotions, efficiency and commitment are key attitudes for career advancement.

Employing a quantitative-descriptive research design, surveys, and statistical analysis, significant correlations with a P-Value of (.000) and Computed-r of (.699**), suggest that were found between financial activities and management plans, highlighting the relationship between financial literacy, behavior, and well-being. Higher financial literacy correlated with increased spending behavior, while positive financial behavior led to modest increases in savings. Financial well-being may influence financial behavior and spending habits, potentially impacting allowances received. Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) elucidates how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived control shape financial intentions and behaviors. Despite initial significant findings, differences in spending habits based on allowance source were not significant, suggesting random variation. Understanding these dynamics can inform interventions to enhance financial literacy and promote responsible financial behaviors among Grade-12 students.
