Between Pangayaw and Theater: Revenge Killings among the Agusan Manobo of Mindanao, Southern Philippines

A number of contemporary studies on conflict and violence, especially among indigenous and marginalized groups, focus on understanding the mechanisms through which these practices are maintained and reinvented. This approach calls into question views on violence as pathological, an inherent tendency, or a mere epiphenomenon. It is in this light that this study on pangayaw as revenge killing was conducted. Drawing on direct ethnographic data gathered in a span of three years among the Agusan Manobo of Mindanao in Southern Philippines, the article argues that pangayaw is a mode of communication involving a performance of symbol manipulation to make explicit conditions and norms that would have otherwise remained unexpressed. Pangayaw as a threat, an act, a resolution, or a means to instigate resolution is designed to be meaningful not just to the actors but to the witnessing community. This emphasis on its theatricality also sheds light on the efficacy of traditional resolution mechanisms in these areas. Discourses on violence among marginalized and indigenous groups need to consider how this type of “theater” is maintained and reinvented.

The Effect of Organizational Climate to Employee Engagement in a Private Educational Institution

Many structures have been investigated over the years as possible predictors of work involvement, some have been important and others have not been so important. In this context, one particular structure that has received little attention is the organizational climate. Thus, this study was conducted to explore the effect of organizational climate to employee engagement in a private educational institutional setting. The study used a descriptive research design involving 105 regular faculty of the tertiary department of a private tertiary school for the 2nd Semester of SY 2019-2020. This study used a modified questionnaire as a data gathering tool. The results of the study showed that the private tertiary school has a very good organizational climate in terms of rewards and clarity but poor in terms of flexibility, responsibility, and standards. Nonetheless, the results proved that the employees of the private tertiary school are very highly engaged in their respective jobs. Furthermore, the results proved that overall Organizational Climate affects employee engagement. Among climate dimensions, only clarity and rewards significantly affect employee engagement. The better the climate in terms of the two dimensions, the higher the level of employee engagement

Teacher Mentoring as an Intervention with At-Risk High School Students

As a result of recent social and political pressure and an increase in academic standards, there is a call to address academic and behavioral needs of at-risk students at the secondary level. Currently, many secondary schools are struggling to provide research-based interventions for these students. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a school-based mentoring program utilizing existing school staff and functioning within the constraints of a typical high school schedule, on at-risk students. The study aimed to add to the body of research on interventions in secondary settings and extend research on mentoring. Five at-risk high school students participated in the study which took place during the 2008-09 school year. All of the students received basic mentoring procedures, and three were identified for more advanced mentoring procedures half-way through the school year. Data was collected on academic and social outcomes and the viability of the intervention in the secondary setting. Overall, results of the study were mixed but indicated that the intervention was mildly effective for almost all students in at least one of the areas studied. Limitations of the study and implications for future research and practice are identified and discussed

Efficacy of Bringing Higher Education to the Tribal Rural Community in Southern Philippines

Abstract Bringing tertiary or higher education to the tribal community in Southern Philippines was very effective. There are more tribal members who are now beginning their higher education degrees. This means that there are more tribal individuals who are in their way to get their higher education degree in two to three years. With their higher education diploma, the members of the tribal community will have better access to higher paying jobs. These members will become role models of the younger generation in the tribal communities. Key Words: Higher education; Tribal Communities; Tertiary Education Tribal Members; Satellite Campus; Access to Higher Educatio

Comparing the Effectiveness of Three Strategies in Teaching Selected Topics in Mathematics on the Students’ Achievement in and Attitude toward Mathematics

Three strategies in teaching Mathematics were implemented to First Year students of LPNHS-Main during the Third Grading Period S.Y. 2011-2012. A Quasi- Experimental Design was used to compare the effectiveness of the three strategies. The data were analyzed using independent and dependent sample t-test and ANCOVA to test the significant difference of means from the three groups. The results revealed that there is a significant difference in the pretest and post test mean scores in the achievement of each group, most remarkable in the group that was exposed to the manipulative materials. This shows that the use of Manipulative materials is the most effective strategy in terms of improving achievement of the student and it is followed by the Cooperative learning strategy while the Chalk-board and talk strategy is the least effective. Another key finding in this paper is that each of the three strategies has noteworthy weakness in at most one category in the attitude inventory. These are the students who were exposed in Chalk-board and talk strategy, had their personal confidence about Mathematics seemingly decreased. Similarly, those who undergone the Cooperative Learning strategy had their interest toward the usefulness of Mathematics apparently lessened and lastly, the group exposed in Manipulative materials appears to have their perception about the teacher’s attitude in terms the care and concern with them also diminished
