Romualdo Abulad, SVD, a renowned philosopher and pioneer of Filipino Philosophy. Based on an exclusive interview with Bro. Abulad in 2018, the article discusses the history, changes, and challenges in shaping the Philosophy of the Human Person curriculum, from Rational Psychology to its current form in the K to 12 curriculum. According to Abulad, there is a need for the Philosophy of the Human Person curriculum to be inclusive and holistic in order to prepare students for the challenges posed by the influx of new global ideas. Abulad also emphasized the need for a balanced approach to teaching, rooted in the history of philosophy while addressing contemporary issues. The findings from the interview provide valuable insights for the continuous development of philosophical education in the Philippines, aligning with the goals of the MATATAG Curriculum and UNESCO's global standards for teaching philosophy.

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, h...

She is the victim, the exploited, the dominated and the other. As a post-colonial thinker, I argue that Filipino women have been victims of the movement of social dialectics. As Philippine Society evolved and developed, she had been a victim not only of male domination but also of political economy. This research shows how female subordination and male domination emerged in the Philippines. As such, it contends that there is a blurring identity of Filipino women – that is, Filipino women as situated in the neo-colonial period-are victims of political economy and male domination.
