Writing a review of related literatures of study is a rigorous task. This means that a scholar needs to do a lot of readings from previous published articles and journals available in the spaces of library and the internet as information superhighway. But then, in this article, I will share effective and efficient ways on how to write review of related literature in less than one hour. Here are 5 simple tips and steps that one can utilize as he or she go through this crucial section of the research paper.

This historical paper which turned into a book examined the historical background of Roxas National Comprehensive High School, its major contributions in the Department of Education and the nation at large, and its major developments in this post-modern setting along the light of honing and refining the learners to the fullest actualization of their dormant yet infinite potentials. The problem is that there is a non-existence of comprehensive account of school which depicts its then and now. This study employed historical method in approaching the local history of the school. Data was obtained from the existing files of the school, interview method for the primary and other secondary sources using the snowball sampling technique. Data was also encoded as basis of evidences and analyzed thematically using narrative approach. This study found that in 1963, the establishment of secondary school at Roxas became a growing concern of the citizens. The then Mayor Fernando Rodriguez, a retired public school teacher with his council took the step to look for the school site. It was found and acquired through donations proceedings. This study also found out that the school started with six (6) pioneering teachers, namely: Mr. Exequiel Torres Sr., Mr. Camilo Jaranilla, Mrs. Luisa Ventilacion, Ms. Guadalupe Dioso, Ms. Agapita Esteban and Mr. Reynaldo Ponce de Leon. Moreover, the one (1) janitor mentioned is identified in the name of Mr. Felipe Cebuano and one (1) principal in the name of Mr. Jorge V. Macolor. The Roxas Municipal High School was formerly opened September 14, 1964 by late Mrs. Francisca R. Macolor. After opening the school, the late, Mr. Jorge V. Macolor assumed post of the first Principal. Upon opening of classes in 1964, the school implemented the General Secondary Curriculum. Being a Comprehensive High School, efforts had been exerted to fully implement the curriculum prescribed for this type of school. The school is presently implementing the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC). This historical study argues that the existing historical facts necessary in getting the comprehensive view as to where and when Roxas National Comprehensive High School originated are not only based on its founders, legal documents as basis, stakeholders who donated 6.11 hectares area of the school located at Brgy. New Barbacan, Roxas, Palawan and the roster of school heads who struggled to translate this academic institution from a dream to reality, but also based on the incumbent administrators spearheaded by the former Principal, Dr. Joel N. Gulane and replaced by Ma’am Felomina V. Alanis as incumbent school head. With the commitment to uphold the vision and mission of Department of Education, Roxas National Comprehensive High School further advances its major contribution to society and development in terms of scientific achievements and achievers not only in Division level, but also in Regional, National and International event participations, competitions and research presentations.

What makes you better than yesterday? If it is the last day of your life, what will you do to make it as unforgettable existence? This philosophical inquiries are rooted in man’s search for meaning, infinite sense of wonder, need for self-actualization, and insatiable hunger for knowledge and truth. Life is meant to be lived and not to be observed. We are all actors in this arena of life and not just spectators waiting for changes to drive our ways of being. When opportunity knocks at your doorstep, then grab it. If there is no opportunity out there, then create it. As long as we live, we come to the realization that problem are not there to make us suffer, they are there to serve as our stepping stone to build our strong character, unbreakable resilience and insurmountable hope to change for the better.

In the midst of current social change and public debates regarding provision of reproductive health education and services in the Philippines, the need exists to understand the realities of teenagers and young adults’ lives and the challenges they face in finding the way sexual and reproductive well-being. Although a few studies have focused on quantifying unintended pregnancy and abortion in the Philippines, few investigations using qualitative research methods have been conducted to more fully explore and situate these phenomena. Unsafe abortion through the use of abortifacients has been practiced since time immemorial. An estimated 26 million pregnancies are terminated legally throughout the world, and 20 million are terminated illegally, with more than 78,000 deaths. The Philippines, with a steadily increasing population that is approaching 100 million, faces significant challenges in the area of reproductive health.

Since time immemorial, traditional herbal medicine practices were observed, but somehow the culture of Filipinos particularly that of Palaweno residents remains intact despite rapid grasp of modernity. Herbal medicine is still practiced as it provides therapeutic and highly accessible cures for illnesses experienced. The study was conducted to understand the perceptions of traditional healers to herbal medicine practices as remedies to body ailments, identify the herbal medicines used by traditional healers and its utilization to certain treated body ailments. The study involved Seven (7) traditional healers; quota sampling method was used among key informants in Roxas Palawan during the months of June to August 2019. Data gathering was done through an interview. A thematic analysis was adopted to analyse the data. The study found that informants use different herbal medicines such as Sambong, Lagundi, Malungay, Oregano, Herbal Sta. Maria, Atsuete and Guava leaves. These herbal medicines are processed by various local procedures commonly through steaming, boiling and roasting. The informants’ perception on the usage of herbals mainly resides in published books and family practices. Natural properties of herbs serve as their background belief to utilize traditional herbal medicine practices. This book argues to widely recognize traditional healing practices and acknowledge herbal medicinal practices have promising potentials not only in curing but also in preventing physical body illnesses.

This paper aims to explore and analyze the term “Netizen” in social science perspectives using content analysis of social issues and concerns brought about by technological revolution and advancement. Furthermore, the author exposes a “subculture of vlogging” that emerged from this reality. This article found that the interplay of disciplines such as history, moral philosophy, linguistics, political science, sociology, and economics, in particular, formed part of the culture of vlogging and Filipino netizens in this 21st-century virtual world. I argue that while is it good to comment or express our thoughts as netizens to many different vlogs that we watch every day, there is an imperative of having solid critical thinking as to how we should respond. This article supports the well-known fact that is expressed as - think before you click.

This paper examined Grade Eleven learners' level of awareness of cheating during examination at Roxas National Comprehensive High School, Roxas, Palawan. This study aims to meet the following objectives such as identifying the demographic profiles of the respondents, determining reasons, traditional and modern ways of examinations and proving if there is no significant relationship between the level of awareness on cheating during examination and their demographic profile. Based upon the mixed method design using non-standard survey questionnaires and this study participated by two hundred forty (240) respondents using stratified random sampling procedure among five different strands of Senior High School. The data were interpreted using frequency-percentage distribution, weighted mean analysis and F- Test. As to the profile of the learner-respondents, the following are found out; There were 170 female; Fifty-nine percent of them is 17 years of age; Twenty percent of the student-respondents came from each Strand, the HUMSS, STEM, TVL, ABM and GAS. As to the awareness, it is interpreted that the respondents are; moderately aware on the reasons, traditional and modern ways on cheating during examination. Based on the findings of the study, the researchers found out that there is significant relationship between the profile and the awareness level of the students. Thus the hypothesis is rejected. Based on the findings and conclusions the researchers recommend; To parents, Parents must give a positive paradigm in learning. Thus, their children will not resort in cheating; To principal and teachers, teachers as second parents of the students should continuously remind the students about their policies during examination; To school, it should enhance the implementation of policies on cheating and; To school administrators, they should strengthen the policies on cheating.

This paper aimed to examine the factors used by Thailand educational sector to be adopted by the Philippine educational system through the concept of “Virtual Education Delivery” (VED) as an education tool in response to the problem of economic crisis caused by COVID 19 pandemic. The study attempted to determine the factors that influence success in implementing Thai VEDs, and identified the ways to facilitate such adoption. These factors were synthesized with Thai environmental and cultural factors to develop a strategic framework which can be used to assist not only universities in Thailand but also in all levels of Philippine education such as elementary, secondary and tertiary levels to achieve more effective implementation of VEDs. Content analysis method to substantially collect the data associated in the journal articles, books, magazines and internet sources as secondary data. Content analysis allows the researcher to unravel and analyze the content of a particular source of communication. Upon its comparative analysis, this paper found that Philippines and Thailand are simultaneously accepting the notion of technological shock which is characterized by the internet and social media as valuable sources of educational information and research data for development of their policies. Culturally speaking, Thailand and Philippines is collectivist in character when it comes to their programs and projects related to education sector. Apart from having open-minded status in the region of technological breakthrough, these countries relied heavily on their human resources which pointed to maximize the use of virtual classroom, conferences, seminars other known now as webinar, research events and even governmental mechanisms of communication. Scientifically based decisions. The DepEd today has a more flexibility in adapting VED in this time of crisis where face to face interaction in the classroom is prohibited due to the threat of COVID 19 pandemic.

This discourse analysis aimed to expose the context of globalization in the face of COVID 19 pandemic. I contend to refute the notion that globalization is the same before and during the pandemic crisis. Moreover, I seek to bring out the contextual landscape of social and cultural changes as influenced by pandemic and how the conduct of globalization in terms of power struggle, digitalization, debt and geographies of blame, care, interdependence, infection, immunization, vulnerability and resilience are being redefined in its optimum level.

Cheating during examinations is triggered by peer influence. It makes every learner know and do what should not be done. Cheating during examinations defeats the purpose of understanding, applying and creating ideas as stipulated in the revised Bloom's taxonomy by Anderson. The study reported here was designed to delve into the reasons and aspirations of the respondents in their cheating engagement. Sixteen (16) key informants, selected using random sampling procedure among Junior and Senior High School learners of Roxas National Comprehensive High School in Palawan during the months of June to October 2016, completed open-ended questionnaires and took part in the interview. NVivo software was used in the analysis of the themes that emerged from the data. This study discovered that friendship is manipulated, for it makes doing right things unacceptable and things to be avoided like cheating seem right and acceptable. The behavior about cheating during examination is deeply rooted in the culture of pakikisama (social acceptance/liking) and utang ng loob (debt of gratitude). If a learner does not share his or her answers, he or she will be labeled as walang pakisama (no concern).This paper then argues that honesty should not be just a policy; rather, honesty in this case, is the only policy. Condemning academic dishonesty must not merely rest in the enrollment forms, but by constant moral reminder and intervention of teachers who have a responsibility to hone learners' decorum on honesty and maturity.

This study which utilized the critical analysis, analyzed Wittgenstein’s concept of language-game and its implications in philosophical discipline and contemporary society. To delineate the origin of the problem of language in terms of epistemological dimension, the researcher analyzed the related concepts on classical philosophy. To determine the origin of the concept of language-game, the researcher used the historical method. To constructively criticize the end-goal of language-game, the hermeneutical approach of Hans Georg Gadamer was employed. From the findings and with the aid of the above-mentioned methods, the researcher had come up with these conclusions. Language is inalienable in the sociological nature of man. Man is always related or connected to the other. In this sense, man shares his very subjectivity with the other. Unless he realizes this, he cannot actualize the essential part of his nature. In every aspect of man’s life, it is imperative for him to negotiate, communicate, and collaborate with the members of his household and society. Wittgenstein is the one of the philosophers who gave deeper commitment and emphasis on the concerns of language in man’s life. Mastering our use of language is not just for the sake of conventional understanding, but, more importantly, we use it in its proper context in order to express our thoughts clearly and in the process to understand ourselves. It is because, as we speak or write using language as medium of communication, we are projecting ourselves to the other. If we come up with the c common understanding, then we will be able to create a harmonious society. This study provided the readers with a better understanding of the importance of proper use of words or terminologies in their proper context. It is because this research delved on the conceptual and analytical mechanisms of using language in order to give a systematic pattern of corrective thinking and application for word’s use. Aside from affirming the importance of language in connection with our contemporary activities, this research looked into a deeper realization on the workings of language. This realization originated from Wittgensteinian context of understanding. As affirmation for Wittgenstein, it is appropriate to say that to understand a word in its proper context is to understand the sentence. To understand a sentence is to understand a language. To understand a language means to be master of technique. This signifies that understanding is to know how to do something; in the case of language, understanding language means knowing how to use it. The researcher realized that understanding the meaning of a word is not something private to the mental life of an individual, but something which exist out in the open, in the public domain. This means that understanding the meaning is objectively understandable by people. However, the researcher did not agree with Wittgenstein’s view that philosophy should stop once we clear the way of understanding how our language works. Instead, the researcher adheres to the fact that philosophy as enterprise is an undying process in search for truth. For the researcher, we do not stop philosophizing because our imaginations continue to desire progress in terms of creativity. Thus, he affirmed Gadamer in claiming that we should not hinder our philosophical endeavors by breaking it. Even if we can clear the confusions and misunderstanding of language, still our active minds cling to what is new in the field of learning things. This research led to the formulation of other theories which can be useful tool in understanding the complexities with regards to ourselves and our society as a whole. Henceforth, all the laborious efforts of this research and the regimented time invested in the writing of this work are meaningfully compensated.
