Adjustment problems, coping strategies, protective factors, and academic performance of the vulnerable youth Robles, Baby Rose G. This mixed-method research examined the relationship of adjustment problems, coping strategies, and protective factors on the academic performance of the ESGP-PA grantees enrolled at West Visayas State University, during the Academic year 2015-2016. In the qualitative phase, 12 grantees participated in the focus group discussion while 189 served as respondents in the quantitative phase. Themes and ideas were generated from the oral narratives. The pieces of information derived from the FGD were the bases in constructing the three survey instruments; namely, the Adjustment Problems Questionnaire (APQ), Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CPQ) and Protective Factors Questionnaire (PFQ). Mean, rank and standard deviation were used for descriptive statistical analysis while the t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson’s r and multiple linear regression were employed for inferential statistical analysis. Significance level was set at .05. The qualitative results revealed that the grantees encountered various adjustment problems in the following areas: personal/self, social/interpersonal, academic and environmental. The grantees employed coping strategies in dealing with their adjustment problems. Moreover, the grantees identified their families, the school, and community to offer moral and financial support to the grantees. The quantitative results revealed that there was a very small negative correlation between adjustment problems and coping strategies, moderately small positive correlation between coping strategies and protective factors, and small positive correlation between academic performance and coping strategies. Among the identified variables, only the coping strategies, was a significant predictor of academic performance.

Carbons stock assessment as basis for public green spaces planning and management in Bacolod City and Iloilo City Tutor, Jose Ariel; Palijon, Armando M.; Visco, Roberto G.; Castillo, Arturo S A; Militante, Ernesto P. The study aimed to determine the carbon stock in the biomass of trees and soil organic carbon (SOC) in public green spaces of Bacolod City and lloilo City from March 2009 to May 2011 using Brown's allometric equation. Data showed that Bacolod City Plaza had the highest carbon storage with 189.02 t/ha. This was followed by Capitol Park and Lagoon, 93.84 t/ha and Pana-ad Park and Stadium 56.12 t/ha. In Iloilo City, Plaza Libertad had the highest stored carbon in biomass with 250.88 t/ha, followed by Jaro Plaza with 116.95 t/ha and Lapaz Plaza with 75.77 t/ha. The average carbon stock per hectare showed that Iloilo had 147.90 t/ha which was higher than that of Bacolod City with 112.99 t/ha. Data on soil organic carbon (SOC) showed that Bacolod City Plaza had 42.93 t/ha SOC at 0 to 15 cm depth while Pana-ad Park and Stadium had 42.02 t/ha and Capitol Park and Lagoon with 34.71 t/ha. In Iloilo City, SOC at 15 cm depth, Jaro Plaza had 43.85 t/ha, Plaza Libertad had 43.24 t/ha and Lapaz Plaza had 37.76 t/ha. The Green spaces in Iloilo City at 0 to 15 cm depth had higher mean SOC content with 4I.62 t/ha at 0 to 15 cm depth compared to Bacolod City (39.89 t/ha). At 16-30 cm depth, the green spaces of lloilo City had higher SOC (36.95 t/ha) compared to in green spaces of Bacolod City (30.85 t/ha).

Self-esteem, self-regulation, educational aspirations and priority concerns of student grant's-in-aid program for poverty alleviation (SGP-PA) grantees Loyola, Ma. Lulu L.; Jalandoni, Nove D.; Robles, Baby Rose G. This study looked into the self-esteem, self-regulation, educational aspirations and priority concerns of the 226 SGP-PA grantees at West Visayas State University. Results revealed that the respondents had low self-esteem; mostly average self-regulation except those from the provinces of Antique and Guimaras who had poor self-regulation. Generally, they had moderate educational aspirations but high for those with average family size. Their topmost priority concern was their studies and the least was specific social issues. As to their studies, their topmost concern was: understanding their lessons and the least was working with classmates on projects. As regards self-development, planning their lives was topmost while knowing and understanding themselves was the least. As to family relationships, the topmost concern was improving their relationship with their siblings and least was teaching their parents how to handle their children effectively. In the area of social relationships, the topmost was developing their skills for starting/ maintaining friendships and the least was getting rid of their fear of social situations. On specific social issues, their topmost concern was handling adjustments caused by financial crises, and the least was learning more about sexual abuse/harassment. Finally, significant differences existed only in the level of educational aspirations according to grantees’ family size; none were observed in the level of self-esteem and self- regulation. As gleaned from these results, appropriate intervention program on self-development may be designed for the grantees of the program.
