USJAIMS TO CULTIVATEA CARING ENVIRONMENTAMONG ITS STUDENTS AND STAFF MEMBERS WHILE PROVIDING MORE COMMUNITY OUTREACH SERVICES. AN EXAMPLE OF USJ'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH INITIATIVES, THE COVID-19 NUCLEIC ACID TESTING INITIATIVE WHICH ENGAGED LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ACTIVELY SERVING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY FOR THE COMMON GOOD DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. THIS PAPER AIMS TO STUDY THE BENEFITS TO THE STUDENTS IN PARTICIPATING AS VOLUNTEERS IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH ACTIVITIES SUCH AS COVID-19 NUCLEIC ACID TESTING. THIS INITIATIVE ALIGNS WITH THE UNITED NATIONS' SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDG) 3, WHICH FOCUSES ON PROMOTING HEALTH ANDWELL-BEING AND IS STRONGLY SUPPORTED BY THE UNIVERSITYAND SHOWCASES THE IMPORTANCE OF LEVERAGING UNIVERSITY ASSETS IN ADDRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.

THERE IS AN IMMENSE NEED FOR COMPETENT TEACHERS WHO TEACH AND TRAIN STUDENTS FOR QUALITY EDUCATION AND CONSEQUENTLY, TO BE BETTER PEOPLE WHEN THEY BECOME PROFESSIONALS IN ANY SITUATION. THE INTERNSHIP HAS BECOME A VERY SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM TO BRING STUDENTS, HOSPITAL/ AFFILIATING CENTERS, AND SCHOOLS CLOSER. IT HAS ALSO BECOME ONE OF THE FIRST PREFERENCES OF STUDENTS WHEN IT COMES TO COMPLEMENTING THEIR EDUCATION. THE UNFORTUNATE AND WIDE COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19 IN THE PHILIPPINES AND OTHER COUNTRIES BROUGHT A VERY DEVASTATING EFFECT IN ALL SECTORS. SADLY, IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR, WE HEAVILY FEEL ITS IMPACT, CREATING UNCERTAINTIES. THAT GIVES US THE DECISION TO ADJUSTAND TRANSITION TO THE USE OF DIFFERENT LEARNING ACTIVITIES USING THE VIRTUAL LEARNING PLATFORM. THIS STUDY FOCUSED ON THE COMPETENCIES OF TEACHERS HANDLING VIRTUAL INTERNSHIPS IN HEALTH SCIENCE PROFESSIONS IN BACOOR CITY, PHILIPPINES IN TERMS OF PLANNING AND TEACHING MATERIALS; INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES; COMMUNICATION SKILLS,AND EVALUATION TOOLS USING VIRTUAL PLATFORMS. THE RESEARCH MADE USE OF DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH TO GATHER INFORMATION ON THE STATUS OF THE SUBJECT OF THE STUDY. TO GIVE MEANING TO THE DATA GATHERED AND TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE FINDINGS OF THE STUDY THROUGH ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATIONS, THESE WERE SUBMITTED TO STATISTICAL COMPUTATIONS USING SPECIFIC TOOLS FOR EACH OF THE QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN THE STUDY SUCH AS FREQUENCY AND PERCENT; WEIGHTED MEAN, T-TEST, AND CHI-SQUARE.

HOWEVER, FACULTY ENCOUNTERED CHALLENGES IN FACILITATING CLASSROOM TEACHING-LEARNING ACTIVITIES WHEN INSTRUCTION WAS DELIVERED VIRTUALLY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. AN OPEN CHALLENGE FOR RESEARCHERS IS TO DEVELOP A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE TEACHER EXPERIENCE IN CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION AND ASSESSMENT DURING THE VIRTUAL DELIVERY OF TEACHING-LEARNING MODALITIES. THIS PAPER REPORTS ON THE VIEWS OF TEACHERS ON THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES ENCOUNTERED IN VIRTUAL EDUCATION. THE STUDY USED A MIXED METHOD APPROACH WHICH INVOLVED 42 GENERAL CONTENT TEACHERS. TEACHERS RATED THEIR LEVEL OF AGREEMENT TO A SELF-EFFICACY QUESTIONNAIRE AND SHARED THEIR VIEWS THROUGH REFLECTION ESSAYS THAT WERE WRITTEN AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER. RESULTS SHOWED THAT TEACHERS AGREED WITH THE SELF-EFFICACY STATEMENTS. EXAMINING THE REFLECTION ESSAYS MORE DEEPLY, FOUR (4) MAJOR THEMES WERE REVEALED AS THEY CENTERED AROUND CHALLENGES IN THE USE OF VARIED LEARNING SOFTWARE AS A LEARNING TOOL; IN THE AVAILABILITY OF THE INTERNET; IN COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT; AND IN SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT TOWARDS OTHERS. IT ALSO PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE LEARNING TOOLS THEY USE. THE USE OF DIFFERENT PLATFORMS INITIALLY POSED A CHALLENGE TO TEACHERS, BUT THEY OVERCAME IT AFTER A SERIES OF TRAINING AND PRACTICE. FURTHERMORE, THE USE OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES AND SOFTWARE PROVIDED A WINDOW FOR THEIR NEW LEARNING AND AN AVENUE FOR INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY. THESE RESULTS HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED WHILE REALIZING THE BENEFITS OF VIRTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING.

CAVITE IS ONE OF THE RECOGNIZED PROVINCES IN THE PHILIPPINES WITH HUNDREDS OF FESTIVALS CELEBRATED ANNUALLY. HOWEVER, SOME FESTIVITIES WERE UNKNOWN TO MANY. THE PRIMARY AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO EXPLORE THE CHALLENGES IN PROMOTING FESTIVALS IN THE PROVINCE OF CAVITE, PHILIPPINES. THIS EXPLORATORY RESEARCH STUDY UTILIZED TWO ANALYTICAL METHODS: TEXTUAL AND VISUAL INFORMATION FROM WEBSITES WITH.GOV.PH DOMAIN AND QUALITATIVE METHOD USING NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING. THE ANALYSIS OF THE DATA'S CONTENT REVEALED THAT THE PROVINCE HAS NOT YET COMPLETELY ACKNOWLEDGED THE VALUE OF ONLINE MEDIA IN PROMOTING CULTURAL EVENTS.
