This term applies to individuals who are either serving a sentence or awaiting trial. Crime occurs daily, with some inmates being innocent, others guilty, and some admitting to their offenses. This study focuses on the treatment programs provided by correctional institutions, particularly for incarcerated women. The purpose of this study is to examine and understand the various aspects of these programs and their effectiveness in addressing the needs and challenges faced by female prisoners. This study utilized a quantitative research method, specifically a descriptive research design. A total of 50 respondents participated, including 25 persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) and 25 correctional officers from the Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) in Mandaluyong City. The researchers used purposive sampling to determine the appropriate number of respondents, and questionnaires were distributed to collect data. Findings indicate that respondents "strongly agree" with the effectiveness of the treatment programs offered at CIW, particularly in education, skills development, and reintegration programs. However, the study also revealed challenges, such as limited access to mental health professionals and services, which complicates addressing the complex mental health needs of female inmates. To address limited access to mental health professionals and services, individualized treatment plans should be developed to cater to each inmate’s mental health, substance abuse, and skill development needs. Furthermore, to overcome insufficient funding and resources for rehabilitation programs, collaboration with external organizations is recommended to provide job placement, housing assistance, and community support upon release, ensuring a smoother reintegration process.

type: item
description: Understanding motorists' perceptions is crucial for shaping effective traffic management strategies and infrastructure development. This study identifies key challenges experienced by motorists, assesses the effectiveness of current traffic management efforts, and provides data-driven recommendations for potential improvements. By exploring motorists' viewpoints and experiences, this study aims to contribute to the development of sustainable and efficient solutions to alleviate traffic congestion. This study utilized a descriptive research design. The population consisted of sixty (60) respondents from Paso De Blas, Valenzuela City, comprising twenty (20) commuters, twenty (20) motorists, and twenty (20) traffic management personnel. Findings indicate that the majority of respondents were males aged 18 to 25. Regarding traffic enforcement, most respondents strongly agreed that traffic personnel provide instructions and signals to mitigate congestion. In terms of signage, respondents affirmed that traffic signs and signals contribute to smooth traffic flow. For traffic management, respondents agreed that observing traffic patterns at different times helps reduce congestion. The primary issue cited was the high volume of vehicles crossing Paso De Blas Road. To address congestion, 59 out of 60 respondents suggested stricter enforcement of vehicle restriction policies based on license plate numbers. Implementing vehicle restrictions based on license plate numbers can regulate the number of vehicles on the road during peak hours, easing congestion. Additionally, a comprehensive road expansion plan, including adjustments to infrastructure, is recommended.

TRACER STUDY: ALIGNMENT OF EMPLOYMENT OUTCOME OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PSYCHOLOGY GRADUATES AT BESTLINK COLLEGE OF THE PHILIPPINES
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the current employment status of Psychology graduates from Bestlink College of the Philippines and assess the alignment of their jobs with their academic background. Variables considered in the study include educational background, professional examinations or certifications passed, advanced studies pursued after college, and employment data. Additionally, the study examines communication, human relations, leadership, problem-solving, and research skills to evaluate the extent to which the school's program contributed to graduates’ professional development. The respondents of this study are graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Psychology program from the batches of 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023. Findings indicate that a portion of graduates obtained professional certifications, such as BLEPP (15.39%) and Civilian Consultancy PFA (7.69%), while a significant percentage (69.23%) did not pursue further studies in 2019. Graduates rated the program positively regarding its contribution to their skill development, with mean scores predominantly falling within the "Great Extent" range across all variables and years. Analysis of the data revealed that the p-value exceeded the significance level of 0.05, leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis. These findings suggest that the program may not be specifically designed to target certain skills, or that external factors beyond the program influence skill development among psychology graduates. The researchers recommend implementing an action plan to assist future psychology students in exploring potential career paths after graduation.

TOYS AS TOOLS IN ENHANCING CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AMONG CHILDREN AGES 2-4: AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM FOR YOUNG PARENTS
type: item
description: This study aims to determine how children can develop skills and knowledge while engaging with toys and how parents can become more informed about the significance of toy preferences in their children’s character development. By understanding the impact of toys on essential traits, parents can make more intentional choices in selecting toys that contribute to their child's overall growth. This study employed a descriptive research method with a sample of fifty (50) young parents residing in Barangay Capri, Novaliches, Quezon City. The researchers used purposive sampling to distribute questionnaires and conduct surveys through paper-based questionnaires to assess the responses of the participants. Findings reveal that educational value ranked highest among the characteristics considered in toy selection. Since toys are observed to enhance key traits such as empathy, resilience, self-control, courage, and gratitude, parents are more likely to consider these factors when purchasing toys for their children. This study recommends that parents prioritize their children's overall academic journey and psychosocial well-being when selecting toys. By focusing on toys that nurture the identified character traits, parents can support their children's optimal psychological growth and development.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF COGNITIVE BIASES IN MARKETING OF ABM STUDENTS IN BESTLINK COLLEGE OF THE PHILIPPINES S.Y 2023-2024
type: item
description: This study explores the profound impact of cognitive biases on consumer behavior in marketing. Biases like anchoring and confirmation bias subtly shape decision-making, often leading to irrational choices. Marketers can strategically leverage these biases to craft compelling campaigns that resonate subconsciously, enhancing communication and influencing purchasing decisions. This research examines ethical approaches to integrating cognitive biases into marketing strategies to drive sales while maintaining consumer trust. Additionally, it underscores the importance of ABM students mastering these concepts to apply them effectively and ethically in real-world scenarios. Ultimately, the study aims to demonstrate how, when used strategically, cognitive biases can shape consumer behavior and foster long-term brand loyalty. We conducted a quantitative study using the descriptive survey method among a sample of 40 ABM students from three sections, selected through random sampling. The respondents included 22 Grade 12 Section B students, 10 Grade 12 Section A students, and 8 Grade 11 Section A students. They answered an e-questionnaire consisting of ten questions divided into two categories: Likert scale and frequency-scaled questions. Many respondents acknowledged their awareness of the systematic cognitive strategies that sellers and marketers use to boost sales. The findings indicate that irrational purchasing decisions often result from cognitive distortions and perceptual biases, particularly when questions are framed in a self-satisfying manner. Responses to the Likert scale questions (items 1–5) showed overall agreement, with a mean score of 30.84. Meanwhile, the frequency-scaled questions (items 6–10) were predominantly answered as "sometimes," yielding an overall mean of 25.32. The results indicate that cognitive biases play a crucial role in shaping consumer purchasing patterns. Utilizing these biases significantly impacts marketing strategies and can serve as a p…

THE ROLE OF PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE OFFICERS AND BARANGAY TANOD IN CRIME PREVENTION IN BARANGAY BATASAN HILLS, QUEZON CITY
type: item
description: The Philippines has a long history of crime and disorder, making the role of police officers and barangay tanod essential in maintaining law enforcement and public safety. Barangay tanod, also known as barangay watchmen, assist in enforcing national and local laws within their communities. While they work closely with the Philippine National Police (PNP), they are not formally part of the organization. Instead, they augment police efforts, fulfilling responsibilities that officers may not be able to address immediately, particularly in barangay-level crime prevention. This study utilized a descriptive research design and a quantitative approach to assess the role of police officers and barangay tanod in crime prevention. A total of 80 residents, 10 barangay tanod, and 10 police officers from Barangay Batasan Hills, Quezon City participated. Respondents were given a survey questionnaire after obtaining their consent. The researchers distributed the questionnaires, waited for participants to complete them, and collected the responses afterward. The findings indicate that the role of PNP officers and barangay tanod in crime prevention, maintaining peace and order, and their understanding of duties and responsibilities were rated as "strongly agree." However, one challenge identified was the intense public scrutiny faced by law enforcers, leading to criticism, mistrust, and decreased morale. An action plan was proposed to address these challenges and improve community relations. The study recommends the development of effective communication strategies to strengthen public engagement, address community concerns, and provide timely updates on law enforcement activities. Utilizing social media, community meetings, and traditional media can help law enforcers connect with different segments of the population. Additionally, implementing measures to improve transparency and trust between law enforcement and the community is essential.

THE ROLE OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 12 HUMSS STUDENTS AT BESTLINK COLLEGE OF THE PHILIPPINES
type: item
description: Guidance and counseling play a crucial role in schools by providing personalized support, requiring counselors to have a deep understanding of student characteristics. This study aims to identify factors such as psychographic profiles and evaluate the role of guidance and counseling in academic performance. Students facing personal challenges may experience a lack of confidence, highlighting the importance of effective counseling in fostering holistic student development. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational design and a quantitative approach to examine the relationship between guidance and counseling and academic performance. A total of 158 respondents were selected from 262 Grade 12 HUMSS students at Bestlink College of the Philippines through the modified Slovin formula and cluster random sampling. Data were gathered using a modified standard survey questionnaire, a commonly used data collection tool. Statistical analysis included frequency, percentage, weighted mean, ranking, Likert scale, and t-test to measure and analyze the significance of variables. This chapter presents the analysis and interpretation of data through tables and descriptive rating techniques. The study revealed that students' study habits had an average weighted mean of 3.16, performance tasks scored 2.95, and written tasks averaged 3.00, all interpreted as agree across the indicator items. The composite mean for study habits (3.18), performance tasks (3.02), and written tasks (3.12) further confirmed overall agreement among respondents. Findings indicate no significant difference between students’ class schedules and the effectiveness of guidance and counseling. Factors such as poor sleeping habits, anxiety about future careers, lack of time for advanced study, low motivation, and fear of participation were observed. The study by Aqdas, S., and Soomro, M. A. (2023), which applied Carl Rogers' person-centered theory, supports these findings. The results led to the development of "…

THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY-BASED REHABILITATION PROGRAMS FOR CHILD IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW: BASIS FOR AN ACTION PLAN
type: item
description: The goal of community-based rehabilitation programs is to help people reintegrate into their families and communities while educating them about the wrongness of their actions and the need to cease repeating them. It also includes helping someone live their life. This study used the descriptive method. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire given to ten barangay employees of the Barangay Commonwealth in Quezon City, ten parents of CICL, and ten children who were in legal trouble. In order to deliver the survey questionnaire to parents of CICL, barangay personnel in Barangay Commonwealth, Quezon City, and children in legal trouble, the researchers asked the research consultant for authorization. Requesting their consent will greatly facilitate their completion of the survey, which we will then compile to produce a result. The findings of this study showed that most respondents "strongly agree" that community-based rehabilitation programs, such as parent counseling, alternative learning systems, and community service, are important for children who are in legal trouble. Additionally, it was determined that the biggest issue was the parents' lack of cooperation. The respondents may suggest that successful cooperating parents are the answer. The researcher respectfully puts forth the following recommendations: First, parents should employ effective communication strategies that are appropriate for their child's age and personality. This encompasses active listening, the use of positive reinforcement, and the establishment of clear boundaries. Additionally, parenting counseling has been shown to be beneficial in addressing behavioral challenges. Second, barangay employees should take an active role in promoting access to education for youth within their community. Third, it is essential for juveniles to receive a proper education to diminish the chances of engaging in delinquent activities. Education offers juveniles constructive alternatives and aids in breaking…
