Parental involvement is the foundation of a child's education that has been recognized to positively impact students' academic outcomes. However, a lack of parents’ support and involvement in the children's education persists in a catholic school in the Philippines. It leads to issues concerning its role in children's academic performance with single parents. Thus, this study describes the extent of involvement of solo parents based on Epstein's framework covering parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating in relation to their demographics. It also describes the level of academic performance of high school students with solo parents in a catholic school during the School Year 2019 – 2020 as a whole and according to the academic level. It also explores the differences in the extent of involvement and level of the students' academic performance and the relationship between these two variables.

High school students in the Philippines nowadays are engaged into Facebook. It is the most commonly used social networking site in the Philippines. This research assessed the Facebook Use of 591(235 male, 356 female) randomly selected Filipino senior high school students in Southern Philippines for school year 2017-2018. Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale determined the degree of students’ Facebook Use. It was found out that 362(61.3%) students are classified as Facebook addict and 229(38.7%) are classified non-Facebook addict. In the comparison between students’ time spent on Facebook, it was found out that the less time they spend on Facebook, the lower grades they get in school. Furthermore, the more gadgets they have at home the better scholastic performance they have. The correlation between Facebook use and Scholastic performance showed that there is no association between the two variables.

(1) Background: Problematic smartphone use in adolescents has become a major concern among parents and educators. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with, and the predictors of, low, average, and high perceived academic performance (PAP). (2) Methods: Descriptive and comparative analyses were employed in this cross-sectional study among 3374 Filipino high school students through an online Google forms survey. (3) Results: We found that age, grade level, father’s education, time spent daily on weekends, frequency of use on weekdays, purpose of use, nomophobia (NMP), and smartphone addiction (SA) were significantly associated with low PAP, while frequency of use on weekends and type of internet access had a significant association with high PAP. Gender was a significant predictor of low, average, and high PAP. Father’s education and SA were also significant predictors for both low and average PAP. (4) Conclusions: This study shows the significant association between personal profiles, family environment, patterns of smartphone use, NMP, and SA contributing to a significant impact on Filipino high school students’ PAP. This suggests that proper guidelines for smartphone use should be provided at home and in school settings to raise awareness of the adverse effects of SA on students’ academic performance.

Study habits and skills differ from one person to another. Effective study habits are instrumental for students to gain mastery of a topic learned and ensure good academic performance. Study habits that students employ to cope with their lessons are ways, techniques, and learning styles which may include, but not limited to, time management or the number of hours spent studying their lessons and making assignments; study environment, test-taking skills which include students’ readiness or preparedness in taking tests; note-taking skills or student’s efficiency in taking down notes during class hours or while reading; reading skills which are the student’s ability to understand and comprehend lessons, tests, and reading materials; writing skills or the ability to observe correct grammar and to write effectively; and math skills or the facility and ease in solving math problems. With the advancement of technology, students nowadays engage themselves more in gadgets and spend more time in electronic media and social media; thus, students' study habits are slowly deteriorating when it comes to frequency and quality. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the level of study habits in relation to selected demographics of high school students in a Catholic School in Antique during the school year 2019-2020. Likewise, it measured the relationship between the demographic variables and their extent of study habits and determined which areas predict the students' study habits.

The academic performance of the students is where the education system revolves. Moreover, academic performance is the knowledge gained by the students throughout the learning process. In the Philippines, the integration of the K-12 program requires the institutions to implement the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) model of education, which requires the students to demonstrate what they have learned. With this, mental ability tests play a role in determining every student's abilities and potential in the learning process. Hence, the paper describes the students' mental ability and academic performance during the school year 2019-2020. Likewise, it explores the relationship between mental ability and academic performance and the students’ performance in English and Mathematics. Also, it determines whether mental ability can predict the academic performance of students.
