When disasters happen, people are defenseless for disasters cannot be avoided nor predicted even in highly developed countries throughout the world. This study aimed to explore and determine the disaster preparedness of Aplaya, a coastal community in Digos City, Philippines. It focused only on their ways of preparing for disasters and the needs of enhancing their disaster preparedness. Using qualitative phenomenological research design, focus group discussion, and in-depth interviews were conducted with selected residents of the communities in Apalya, Digos City. Results revealed that their ways of preparing for disasters had been through alertness to the community alarm system, participation in drills, adherence to a warning of friends from upland areas and listening to a warning from Community officials. Moreover, the community needs the infrastructure support through the renovation of the dike, active participation of the community members and evacuation center within the community. The implication of this study is for government officials especially those that are incharge of disaster preparedness and relief operation to look into the possibility of organizing communities for active participation during disaster preparedness and relief operation, for the academe to provide the expertise needed for disaster preparedness and for the community to utilize whatever traditional skills and practices that have employed which had been proven effective in preparing for disaster in the past.

The NSTP-CWTS is an effective/good educational innovation in the tertiary education in the Philippines under the Republic Act No. 9163 known as the Act of Establishing the National Service Training Program (NSTP) for Tertiary Level Students. The study explored the HEIs’ contextualized practice on NSTP-CWTS course regarding the syllabi, community activities, and evaluation scheme. It utilized a mixed design of quantitative (survey) and qualitative (appreciative inquiry) methods. Twenty-two selected HEIs in Central Luzon represented by 22 faculty and 643 students were involved as the respondents. Using Stake’s Responsive Model of evaluation, the triangulated data from survey questionnaire, interview, and focus group discussion revealed that the HEI respondents demonstrate great extent of contextualized CWTS practice under the CHED standards. Likewise, the quantitative and qualitative results indicate the unified practice on the functionality of syllabi, methodology, nature of community activities, and learning assessment criteria. The community activities were comprised largely of ecological-environmental initiatives like tree planting, lecture on climate change, proper solid waste management, and calamity-disaster preparedness. This paper proposed an indigenous framework “Kalingang Tugon sa Kapwa at Kalikasan” or “KaTUKK” for integration in the community service education of the HEIs in the Philippines and neighboring ASEAN countries.

This phenomenological-cross sectional study navigates the views of school heads, teachers, and learners in Kapalong East District. This phenomenological study aims to describe and understand the experiences of school heads, teachers, and learners in makeshift classrooms. This perspective encourages educators, families, and schools to understand that learners develop and learn new skills and knowledge by reacting to their environment. Five school heads, five teachers, and five learners participated in the in-depth interview and focus group discussion, selected through the purposive sampling technique. The experiences of the school heads resulted in nine major themes, which include: the makeshift classroom is not safe and conducive to learners; the makeshift classroom is an immediate solution to lack of classrooms; a big challenge to face; accepting the situation; providing support and motivation to teachers; involvement of stakeholders in the improvement of classrooms; making use of available resources, and provision of the concrete classroom. Nine major themes also emerged for teacher-participants: the makeshift classroom is not conducive and not secured; teachers used varied teaching styles; a challenge to take; integrating different strategies in teaching; motivating one’s self to do the best; being positive despite the present situation; needs for support from DepEd; integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching. Eight major themes revealed from learner-participants: not conducive to learning; willingness to learn; the desire to have a concrete and spacious classroom; determination to study; classroom cleanliness; learners should give their best to succeed, and government should provide additional concrete classroom. These results imply that having a good environment for learning can affect learners’ learning, particularly and the quality of education in general. The results of this study are critical to school heads, teachers, learners, and stakeholders in promoting better education.
