Counseling Service, it is a service wherein competent staff in the Counseling and Testing Office
as well as trained peer counselors assist individual students or a group toward better understanding of
himself/themselves and his/their environment. It encourages him/them to satisfactory adjustment or
acceptable resolution of problems he/she encounters. Individual Inventory Service, this service pertains
to the activity of gathering data about the students to enable the counselors, professors and
administrators to understand the student better before counseling is conducted. It is a cumulative
record of personal, family and educational data from birth to present. Information such as student’s
family background, mental ability, interest, aptitude, achievement, personality traits and health
condition serve as the key to the counseling activity upon which personal assistance is based. The
cumulative record is kept during the duration of the student’s studies in the university until five years
after his/her graduation. Psychological Testing Service, it refers to the administration, scoring and
interpretation of psychological tests to individual or group of students used to assess his/their
behavioral tendencies. Psychological tests are also used as tools in counseling students. Follow-up
Service, follow up sessions are conducted among students who are counseled, referred by faculty,
administrators and other university staff. The follow-up service ensures that the student has learned
appropriate behaviors and decisions regarding his/her problem or need. Career Development and
Placement Service, this service takes care of assisting students in their career decision-making from
knowing their abilities and potential, providing them information regarding the university course
offerings and requirements, information on job trends, job referrals and employment opportunities.
Information Service, this service makes available to student’s certain kinds of information not ordinarily
provided through classroom instruction. It enables the counselor to give important facts concerning
personal, social and educational adjustment. It includes the orientation among Freshmen and incoming
students, workshops, seminars and community extension services to disseminate information on the
relevance of the Guidance Services to students’ adjustment and academic life as well as to provide
information to ensure maximum welfare of students. Research and Evaluation Service a service which
consists of the conduct of researches on student’s UPCAT scores, psychological test results, values,
attitudes and the evaluation of the basic guidance services at the end of the school year.
Alongside the issue on access is the issue on appropriateness of guidance services from the
Filipino poor. While experts believe that a practitioner’s theoretical orientation does not significantly the
outcome of the counseling process as compared to the practitioners’ keen exploration of what the client
really needs , some suggests that, amidst globalization, there is a need to evaluate counseling models,
structural barriers and approaches that link with a particular culture .Evaluating the appropriateness of
any guidance service does not only lie on gauging the positive outcomes but also on exploring how the
process went along and what happens with the individuals involved in the therapeutic journey. It is
desirable to check how foreign theories and models would help meet the needs of the guidance
clientele. it is more important to address the particular need of the individual needing help rather than
to sternly stick to a singular counseling paradigm. Hence, this calls for viewing guidance from a
sociocultural lens, particularly in the Philippines where there is much cultural diversity. As a form of
shared humanity(pakikipagkapwa-tao), guidance is a dialogue where two or more realities (e.g.,
physical, social, psych emotional) meet and interweave such that culture and identities of the person in
therapeutic journey influence its outcomes. In the Philippines, there are more than one hundred on
linguistic groups and each of these groups possess a culture that is unique and identical.
