Feminisation in the teaching profession is a global issue. It has been said this problem implies gender inequality in relation to their male counterpart for it results in the lack of male models in the basic education and, thus promote social exclusion. This social reality is also the case in the Philippines. Data in 2008–2009 from the Philippine Commission on Women reveals that about 89.58% of the teachers in public elementary and 77.06% in the public secondary schools are female (pcw, 2014). In this regard, this paper argues that feminisation of education in the Philippines, all the more result to uncompromising situations of female teachers for as women, they need to work in shifts as part of their changing roles both in school and at home. Further, this paper presents an analysis of the narratives of ten female teachers in basic education which reveals that in spite of the feminisation of teaching from a purely statistical perspective, they still remain disadvantaged in the career that had always been believed to be their domain, especially in the area of career promotion. Limiting factors to the promotion of women still point to their social conditions as women, where the multiplicity of social expectations and duties in their diverse spheres clash to the detriment of their careers.
This study is a tribute to the late great Filipino-philosopher Emerita S. Quito (11 September 1929 -17 September 2017. This paper highlights her contention regarding the role of decolonization as a necessity for the restoration of Filipino identity. This paper is divided into three parts: the first part introduces Quito as one of the country's unique philosophers who aspired for the greater glory of the Filipino people; the second part features her thoughts on Filipino identity and decolonization as the ultimate symbol of her intellectual journey as a philosopher and patriot; and lastly, we shall try to show the weaknesses and limitations of Quito's views. Keywords: Quito, Filipino identity, decolonization, tributePanimula ooong 17 Setyembre 2017, marami ang nalungkot sa pagkamatay ng bantog na pilosopong si Emerita S. Quito, ang itinuturing 'Socrates ng Pilipinas.' 1 Marami ang nagdalamhati, subalit sa kabila ng kalungkutang ito ay kapangahasan naming sinasambit na ang kanyang kamatayan ay hindi dapat maging pagluluksa, bagkus ito ay dapat maging isang pagdiriwang dahil sa kanyang iniwang pamana sa tradisyon ng pilosopiya sa Pilipinas. Siya ang nagsindi ng ilaw na hanggang ngayon ay nag-aalab at nagbibigay inspirasyon upang pag-ibayuhin at pagyamanin ang ugnayan ng pilosopiya at makabayang kaisipan at kamalayan. Kaya naman nais tahakin ng papel na ito na magbigay ng pagpupugay sa kanyang hindi matatawarang legasiyang nagbigay daan upang ang mga bagong sibol na 1

Identifying these graduates’ employability is vital to the field of educational research, particularly in determining the impact of a higher education institution’s BTLE program. Employing quantitative research design through a survey of 50 graduates, this research revealed that great majority of them have been employed, with majority securing education-related jobs within a year after graduation, while some having chosen careers unrelated to their pre-service education. Strategies for job search and reasons for job offer acceptance vary from traditional, economic concerns, to complexities of work opportunities and requirements. They have also reported that the pre-service courseworks they undertaken have, to a great extent, relevance to the improvement of their skills in problem-solving, communication, critical thinking, human relations, knowledge/technical, leadership, research, and information technology thus making it aligned with current employment and/or self-employment demands. Apart from presenting the reasons of their employment acceptance and post-college education undertakings, this paper also outlines the challenges in securing employment. Thus, such issues forwarded by the paper, arising from academic training vis-à-vis actual industry works, are strong points for pre-service BTLE program enhancements.</span>
