In the Philippines, basketball is a popular sport, and there are local, provincial, and regional and national competitions (Antolihao, 2010). From urban and rural areas, both public and private institutions, organizations, sectors, different schools province, city, municipality or towns, barangays and every corner of the street or block, Filipinos play basketball even in a small area that can make a small court or half-court and a basketball ring or sometimes a basketball ring without a board (De la Cruz, 2016).  A tale or a myth attests to the powerful influence of Filipinos' sport and a keen interest in basketball and its existence in their archipelagic geography, despite the sport being designed or tailor-made for tall people (Dumaraos, 2016). There are varsity players in colleges who are scholars because of their ability to play this game.  The sports career of basketball players goes a long way even when they have graduated from school. They may become professional and paid basketball players later (Sugai, 2010). However, being an expert basketball player requires much practice.  Basketball players may be professionally trained or may have started as a backyard player or may have no professional training.  There are backyard players who have very high accuracy and precision in shooting, which are part of their genetic characteristics (Perine, 2016). Nevertheless, these genetic characteristics may be enhanced by experience.  On the other hand, Ortega, Olmedilla, de Baranda, and Gomez (2009) found that basketball players with high self-efficacy have higher performance or shot success. The success of shooting the ball may depend on the confidence that a person had had when he was shooting.  The more confident he has been, the better his chance of being precise in the shooting. This is self-efficacy, confidence, and the effectiveness of achieving success in one's aim (Perlman, 2018). Hence, the study aimed to describe, compare, and correlate self-efficacy and shot success of basketball players of the Iloilo City Mayor’s Cup.

Purpose: The aim of this research study is to evaluate the implementation of Alternative Learning System (ALS) curriculum offered to juvenile delinquents in urban and rural areas in the Philippines. The study also aims to determine whether the current education programs meet the needs of the juvenile delinquents with reference to Juvenile delinquency acts. The study is an attempt to highlight the aspects of Alternative Learning System (ALS) that should be developed.  Approach/Methodology/Design: The study is qualitative and conducted in Marikina City and Rizal province, the Philippines. This study used exploratory study analysis. The respondents are the Alternative Learning System (ALS) teachers. For data collection, three semi-structured interviews were employed and the respondents’ answers were categorized using analytical coding to compare and analyze the implementation of the ALS curriculum for juvenile delinquents. Findings: The interpretation and analysis of the data collected shows that the ALS teachers from both the rural and urban areas have the same experiences on the implementation of the ALS program for juvenile delinquents in terms of curriculum, instruction and assessment. Furthermore, the teachers gave an emphasis that once the juvenile delinquents undergo the program, they are given a new hope and new direction in life to pursue their dreams. Lastly, the teachers from both areas have the same suggestions for the improvement of the implementation of the program, such as additional funds for the development of quality learning materials, increasing the number of learning centers, and designing various forms of assessment.  Practical Implications: The study will contribute positively to the understanding of Alternative learning System. The significance of this study lies in the comparison of the alternative learning system curriculum and how it is implemented to the juvenile delinquents in urban and in rural areas. Originality/value: This study engages ALS teachers in assessing the ALS curriculum, reflecting actual experiences to meet the expectations and needs of the juvenile delinquents.

Poverty is one of the most important determinants of adverse health outcomes globally, a major cause of societal instability and one of the largest causes of lost human potential. Traditional approaches to measuring and targeting poverty rely heavily on census data, which in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are unavailable or out-of-date. Alternate measures are needed to complement and update estimates between censuses. This study demonstrates how public and private data sources that are commonly available for LMICs can be used to provide novel insight into the spatial distribution of poverty. We evaluate the relative value of modelling three traditional poverty measures using aggregate data from mobile operators and widely available geospatial data. Taken together, models combining these data sources provide the best predictive power (highest r 2 = 0.78) and lowest error, but generally models employing mobile data only yield comparable results, offering the potential to measure poverty more frequently and at finer granularity. Stratifying models into urban and rural areas highlights the advantage of using mobile data in urban areas and different data in different contexts. The findings indicate the possibility to estimate and continually monitor poverty rates at high spatial resolution in countries with limited capacity to support traditional methods of data collection.
