Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

One major and indispensable factor of human welfare, social development and

progressive economic is good education. In fact, Article 13 of the United Nations’

International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (written in 1966) sought

to recognize a universal right to education at the global level. Education is not only

about the things one learns in a four-walled classroom, but it is primarily the wise,

hopeful and respectful refinement of literacy undertaken in the belief that all should have

opportunities for growth and (Smith, 2015). An individual’s learning does not only

improve the self but is primarily a contribution to their nation’s growth.

Understanding the cultural roots of Philippine education is essential to the

realization of a deeper Filipino identity and the development of a responsible, productive

and patriotic citizenry (De Belen, 2011). Philippine culture and society values education

as a means towards end: it can be seen in how many Filipino families spend their

resources to pay for their children’s education, even to the point of compromising other

wants or needs in attaining this end. Over the years, the Philippine educational system
has been rapidly developing and complying with international standards for the

betterment of the nation. As a great step to achieving this goal, the Philippine

Department of Education changed basic education from the traditional ten years of

elementary and high school education into a new 12-year program which is called the K

to 12 Educational System (Cruz, 2010).

Not all Filipinos agreed with the implementation of the new education system:

according to Vencer Crisostomo, National Chairperson of the Anakbayan Partylist, only

14 out of 100 finish the education cycle up to college. He then noted that the additional

years in the K-12 program will mean increased drop-outs because it would be a burden

to parents and students who have been struggling to finish the former 10-year cycle

(Anakbayan, 2013). Another consequence of adopting the new educational system is

the retrenchment of faculty and personnel: many universities and colleges are beginning

to dismiss teachers and employees since higher education institutions will be facing

zero enrollment for a number of years preceding the full implementation of SHS. The

Department of Education reported that about 30 percent of permanent employees and

practically all non-teaching contractual staff of these institutions are about to face

retrenchment (Tucay, 2015).

One of the major purposes of this study is to make the society aware of the non-

teaching staff’s actual experiences about this transitional period in their workplace. It is

then the hope of the researchers that this paper may be able to offer information and

solutions that could help the educational community in responding to major challenges

such as the adoption of the K-12 system.

Review of Literature

Education is a systematic process by which a person develops their knowledge,

skills, experience and sound attitude. It does not only concern the individual’s

intellectual development but also involves the development of the person’s physical,

mental, aesthetic, moral, economic, and spiritual aspects. In other words, education is

the key to be a civilized, cultured and refined individual (Parankimalil, 2012).

The educational process takes place in both informal or formal settings. Informal

education is generally a training of skills outside the recognized educational institutions

(De Belen, 2011). Quoting the work “Enhancing Education”, the other type which is

formal education usually occurs in a school environment with classrooms of collective

students learning together with a certified teacher of the subject. Most school systems

are devised around a set of values that manifest all educational choices in that system.

Such choices include curriculum, organizational models, design of the physical learning

spaces, student-teacher interactions, methods of assessment, class size, educational

activities and more. The formal educational system is divided into ascending stages,

beginning with preschool or kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and is

completed in college, university or apprenticeship. The formal system of education are

usually divided into two sub-systems, namely the public and the private school

subsystems. Public schools are educational institutions administered by the government

while private schools are those which are conserved and managed by private

individuals or groups (De Belen, 2011).

 Compared with other countries, the number of years of formal education in the

Philippines was considered to be one of the shortest in the world, together with Angola

and Djibouti. It follows the 6+4+4 educational ladder where there are 6 years of primary

school, 4 years of secondary school and 4 years of higher education, leading to a

bachelor’s degree (Clark, 2015).

Transition Period: The implementation of the K to 12 Program

In 2011, the Department of Education (DepEd) implemented a major change to

the Philippine educational system which is the immediate implementation of the K to 12

basic education program in all Philippine schools. According to them, the K-12 program

aspires to improve the learners’ basic skills, produce more competent citizens and

prepare graduates for lifelong learning and employment (K12Philippines, 2015). But the

implementation of the program was heavily criticized by some Filipinos; as of March

2015, at least 5 petitions have been filed before the Supreme Court, asking for the

adjournment of the educational reform (Geronimo, 2015). The Suspend K to 12 Alliance

Philippines listed out four reasons as to why K to 12 program should be suspended: The

government is duly prepared as manifested by the deficiency of classrooms, other

facilities and modules; the removal of vital subjects such as Filipino, Literature and

Philippine Government and Constitution; the immense displacement of professors,

teachers and non-teaching personnel by 2016 when there would be no enrollments on

the tertiary level; and that the K to 12 program has no nationalist orientation.
 According to the Department of Education (DepEd), a 12-year program is found to

be the best period for learning under basic education and is also the acknowledged

standard for students and professionals globally. It covers 13 years of basic education

adding a mandatory year of kindergarten and a two-year senior high school that offered

tracks that gives students the chance to choose from (i.e. Academic; Technical-

Vocational-Livelihood; and Sports and Arts) as a preparation for their respective careers

in the future (Barlongo, 2015).

The K to 12 program may have increased the years of formal schooling but growth,

applicable to everyone else, necessitates and demands patience and consequently,

more time for it to take deeper effect. For its proponents, the K to 12 curriculum assures

fruits at the end of this longer cycle (Bacarra, 2016), and thus would be something worth

pursuing for Filipinos.

Educational community

The Education Act of 1982 acknowledged the crucial roles of the members of the

educational community in the education of the Filipino people. Section 5 of B.P. Blg.

232 provides that it is the policy of the government to foster at all times, a spirit of

shared purpose and cooperation among members and elements of the academe with

the community and other sectors of society, towards the realization of an atmosphere

where the true goals and objectives of education can be fulfilled.

The educational community refers to people or groups of people as such or

correlated in institutions involved in organized teaching and learning systems. The

members or elements of an educational community are the students themselves, with

their parents and/or guardians, school faculty and personnel, and the school institution

itself. (De Belen, 2011).

School Staff

School staff or personnel are all persons working for an educational institution,

which are classified into either teaching or non-teaching personnel. Teaching or

academic personnel are appointed to enhance the learning environment through actual

teaching, applied research and services that aids the institutional mission (McNeese

State University, 2015). There are also non-teaching personnel which aid and facilitate

the learning process and ensure the learning environment is well-maintained and

conducive for its aimed purpose. Academic non-teaching personnel are those who

possess academic qualifications but instead does work that directly supports teaching.

On the other hand, non-academic personnel or all other school personnel not falling

under the description of teaching and academic staff, school administrators and

academic non-teaching personnel assist primarily in making the school a conducive

place for learning (De Belen, 2011).

Intent of the Study

This research study aims to determine and analyze the non-teaching personnel’s

actual experiences during the transition period in their workplace. (NOTE: ADD MORE,

METHOD

This feature of the research integrates the strategical techniques of the researchers’

investigation of the study. This includes the research design, setting, participant,

measures, procedure, instruments use for the analysis of data, the data gathering

procedures and how the data was interpreted.

Design

This research is a qualitative research using phenomenology which attempts to

produce conditions for the objective study of topics usually regarded as subjective:

consciousness and the content of conscious experiences such as judgments,

perceptions and emotions (Menon et. Al., 2014). The researchers explored the actual

experiences of non-teaching staff during the implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum.

Setting

This study is conducted in a higher educational institution in Davao City, Philippines.

Participants

This study utilized a purposive sampling selecting 6-10 participants. The

participants are chosen based on the inclusion criteria; they are selected people of legal

age from both male/female sexes, and are duly recognized as full time non-teaching

staff of the subject institution.

Measures

The data gathering was done using a semi-structured interview guide questions

which was validated by a Human Resource Development Director, an Ad-Interim

President and a school faculty staff.

Procedure
 The researchers used purposive sampling in the selection of respondents. The

researchers employed the following requirements and procedures in conducting this

study. First, the researchers sought the approval from the Dean of the Senior High

School program to conduct the study. When the approval was granted, questionnaires

were then formulated. They were then submitted for initial checking and validation by

the research mentor. The researchers then sought the approval from the Board of

Directors of the institution and identified the participants of the study. In addition, the

researchers had also conducted orientation to the participants to orient them of the

data-gathering process and the significance of the study before the interview proper.

Directly prior to the interviewing process, the researchers sought the approval of the

participants through an information/consent letter that oriented the participants about

the study. The participants were then told that they were free not to participate or to

terminate their participation anytime in the duration of the study. The researchers then

administered the interview on non-teaching staff in a higher educational institution

located in Davao City, Philippines. The data were gathered and consolidated by the

researchers. Finallly, the findings were analyzed and interpreted before finalization of

the paper.

Data Analysis

The data collected in this study was analyzed using thematic analysis. Thematic

analysis emphasizes pinpointing, examining, and recording pattern or themes within

data. Themes are patterns found in data sets that are important to the description of a
phenomenon and will identify the answers of a specific research question (Braun &

Clarke, 2008).

Chapter III

RESULTS
 This feature of the research presents the results and findings of the study. There

were six respondents in the study. The respondents were composed of the following

individuals: an in-charge counsellor for Senior High School, a testing and counselling

staff, a maintenance staff, an alternate school nurse, a campus ministry staff and a

registrar’s staff in the subject institution. Most of the staff have been serving the

institution for more than five years.

The narratives gathered from the six respondents were encoded and analyzed

meticulously and were categorized into themes and holistic features using the Colaizzi

process for the phenomenological data analysis.

Main themes (NOTE: PREPARE BETTER TRANSLATIONS. EDITOR NOT GOOD IN

VERNACULAR)

The four main clustered themes were developed from the answers of the grand

tour questions of the study on what their experiences are when the K-12 program was

implemented in their institution and on how it affected their nature of work. These are

the following: 1) Work adjustment 2) Lesser income 3) Lack of Job Security and 4)

Similar practices in the workplace

Clustered Theme 1) Work adjustment. Generally, the staff have experienced work

adjustments due to the new features offered in the K to 12 program. In the words of the

staff: Staff 1: “Na change ang amoang assignment, so ako na assign na ko sa nursing

at saka PT department now na nag abot na ang senior high school” (Our work

assignments were changed. So, I am assigned at the nursing and also at the PT

department now that the Senior High School had come.); Staff 6: “It is an addition to my

workload since no additional staff has been hired for those particular assignments. I am

bound to submit reports to three agencies: DepEd for the SHS, CHED for the college

and the graduate school and TESDA for the vocational course.”

Clustered Theme 2) Lesser Income. Based on the respondents’ answers, most of

them have received lesser income because of the institution’s adjustments to the

implementation of the K to 12 program. In the words of the staff: Staff 2: “Alarming siya

knowing that hindi stable ang K to 12 dahil sa finances.” (It’s alarming, knowing that K to

12 program isn’t stable because of the finances involved.); Staff 4: “Mahirap din siya sa

part ng school and employees kasi even the school is cross cutting.” (It’s also difficult

for the school and the employees since the school is cross cutting expenses).

Clustered Theme 3) Lack of Job Security. Most of the staff had the fear of losing their

job because of the implementation of the K to 12 program. Quoting some answers of

the staff: Staff 2: “Pwede ka maalis sa school kasi nga hindi kaya ng budget.” (You can

be terminated from the school since the budget is limited.); Staff 5: “Nakulbaan pud ang

school kay naa man guy announcement na daghan mawala, lisod man gud ang grade

12 before na implement” (The school was worried because of the announcement that

some employees may be lost because grade 12 was difficult before it was implemented).

Clustered Theme 4) Similar Practices in Their Workplace. Generally, the staff said

that they also have experiences that are just the same with their past assignments when

the K to 12 program was not yet implemented. Quoting the answers of the staff: Staff 6

“All processes and procedures are almost the same with the college.”; Staff 4: “Wala

naman kasi, katulad ng sinabi ko pagpasok ng mga Grade 11 our mindsets college nato

sila eh.” (There’s no (major adjustment needed) because just like what I said, as the

Grade 11 came, our mindset was to consider them already as college students.); Staff

3 “Same lang man gihapon sama atong wa pa mo senior high.” (It’s just the same

(condition) even when the senior high school students have not yet arrived).
 Chapter IV

DISCUSSION

This feature of the research exhibits the discussion of the results found in

Chapter III. The results have both presented positive and negative viewpoints for further

analysis and research in this chapter.

Furthermore, the results of this study were tabulated and collated by the

researchers. Afterwards, the data were given meanings and were clustered into specific

themes.
Work Adjustment

According to The Theory of Work Adjustments by Dawis and Lofquist, work is

conceptualized as an interaction between an individual and a work environment that

requires certain tasks to be performed, and the individual brings skills to perform the

tasks. In exchange, the individual requires compensation for work performance and

certain preferred conditions, such as a safe and comfortable place to work. This

explains the staff’s adjustment in their workplace due to the implementation of the new

K to 12 program.

The K to 12 Program is a transformative vehicle for local and national

development. Through the provision of quality education for all, the K to 12 Program

intends to develop and harness the skills and competencies of the Filipino youth,

leading to the development of self, community, and nation (DepEd, 2016). And to

achieve the program’s success, an institution should follow the program’s new

processes and features.

Lesser income
 As the K-12 program was implemented, the college population has also

decreased. According to The Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations

(Cocopea), private college and universities may lose up to 150 billion pesos because of

the decreased enrollment over five years. A participant said, that the school may carry

out cross cutting because the first-year college students in previous years has more

population than today’s senior high school and that the latter only pays tuition once a

year while the first-year college students pays twice – during the first semester and the

second semester. This explains that the staff have experienced lesser income due the

implementation of the K to 12 program. This also explains why the staff were worried

about their income and most of them are currently looking for other sources of income

aside from their regular job at the institution.

Lack of Job Security

Another pressing issue concerning the implementation of the K-12 program is the

retrenchment of teaching and non-teaching college personnel and an estimated 25,000

are being held at bay (Shahani, 2015). This is because there will be no first-year college

enrollees this academic year. This showed that during the implementation of the K-12

program the non-teaching staff experienced fear because they may lose their job.

According to the Prospect Theory by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky,

people has this economic behavior of choosing between probabilistic alternatives that

involve risk. The theory states that people come up with decisions based on the
potential value of losses and gains, which In some way explains the decision of some

institutions to terminate a number of their staff and employees.

Similar Practices in Their Workplace

The K-12 program caused a lot of changes in terms of teaching, subjects and

other educational activities. But to some of the non-teaching staff, their work

experiences are still the same. According to Person-environment fit by Dawis; French,

Caplan and Harrison; Kristof-Brown, Zimmerman and Johnson; and Muchinsky and

Monahan, there is a match between corresponding person and environment dimensions.

One of its domain, Person-job fit. There is a compatibility between a person’s

characteristics and those of a specific job. This explains the same experiences of the

non-teaching staff as the K to 12 program was implemented.

Introduction

We, the Grade 11 STEM 3 students of the Senior High School Department will be
conducting a study entitled COPING WITH TRANSITION: EXPERIENCES OF NON-
TEACHING STAFF DURING THE K-12 IMPLEMENTATION. This study aims to
determine the actual experiences of non-teaching staff in San Pedro College when the
K-12 program was implemented.

We are going to give you information and invite you to be part of this research. You do
not have to decide today whether or not you will participate in the research. Before you
decide, you can talk to anyone you feel comfortable with about the research.

This consent form may contain words that you do not understand. Please ask me to
stop as we go through the information and I will take time to explain.

Purpose
One of the most affected members of the educational community during the
implementation of the K-12 program are the non-teaching staff. We want to know their
experiences during the transition period. We believe that you can help us by telling us
your actual experiences as a non-teaching staff during the implementation of the K-12
program.

Research Intervention

This research will involve your participation in a one on one interview that will take about
one hour.

Interviewer: So Ma’am… kindly tell us a short description about your job, Ma’am.

Interviewee: My job. Um... Previously during the eight years no? Uh... since 2008 and present, I do the testing… no? So... I’m one of
the staff that will administer the entrance administration for all college department, senior high, employment exam and etc. So
basically testing. But now I am… um... I have moved to do the counseling aside from the testing.

Interviewer: Ma’am, how long have you been working in here Ma’am in SPC?

Interviewee: O yun. 8 years. Almost 9 years. 9 years this coming September.

Interviewer: So what do you know about the K to 12 program?

Interviewee: K to 12 based on my… um… uh... idea and during sa orientation sa mga different seminars from sa... na change sya
instead of high school, na change sya into Grade 7, 8,9, and 10 and moved to Grade 11 and Grade 12. May additional two years no?
Um… instead of proceeding to college immediately after 4th year high school. So may extension from what else? Knowing of K to
12, parang preparatory din sya sa college since meron man tayong mga academic tracks and here kasi in SPC, we have this STEM,
HUMSS, and ABM. So preparatory para maka proceed ka to proceed college (pauses) daw lesser yung mga subjects na so most or
minor subjects para sa college nandiyan na sa senior high Grade 11 and 12…

Interviewer: What are your reactions yung pag implement na ang K to 12 dito, Ma’am?

Interviewee: So… (pauses) How do I react? Ok… okay lang. (chuckles)

Interviewee: Okay lang? Ah… siguro… um... Syempre concerned din kami sa school administration knowing na may additional 2
years then maapektuhan yung financial especially financial (pauses) na budget sa school kumbaga decrease let’s say of income
though ma accommodate… sa ma accommodate na number of students instead of first year, nandun na sa Grade 11. Yet the
income of the school is not the same compared to college na mga first year. So somewhat affected rin kami kasi since nandito kami
sa SPC as employees since concerned din kami sa school. Once na affected ang school, affected din kami financially and siguro
psychologically rin kasi we are especially..uh.. kasali rin ako sa recruitment… team of the admissions office. So we are... we... we
try before even now we tried to (pause) we are trying to promote the school (pauses) to ano the students from the students from
different schools we are in specially in Mindanao para maka dito sila transfer sa Grade 11.

Interviewer: So far Ma’am ano yung mga experiences niyo yung na implement na siya?

Interviewee: Experiences… Ah siguro (pauses) yun…Alarming knowing that K to 12 status because of finances. So alarming sa
aming mga employees na which if ever ma-down yung school, kami yung probably nga... (stutters) Kung one of the staff in San
Pedro pwede ma... tawag niyan siya... pwede siya ma… maalis sa school kasi na hindi kaya ng budget ng school… Yun affected.
Then meron ding yung iba na staff like me na... because that of the alarming budget of the nila sa school natin. It’s even in the other
private schools nag ano na sila... Naghahanap. They are searching for another job especially those who have families na so instead
of dito sila, naghanap sila ng ibang job to sustain their family’s needs

Interviewer: Paano talaga yung nag change ang nature of work sa inyo Ma’am?

Interviewee: Unsa to?

Interviewer: (repeats) How did the implementation changed your nature of your work, Ma’am?

Interviewee: So far... Wala man. Same lang siya since nasa testing, we do the administration and entrance exam of the college hindi
lang sa Senior High. So same task, Nothing changs siguro sa…wala ata. The job is stil there, yun task. So..aside from testing, ‘guro
we go beyond testing. We recruit, we have the school administration to sustain the needs of the school in our little way.

Interviewer: How many years po kayo na naga trabaho na dito?

Interviewee: Ahh... I graduated 2009 here, I studied here, I graduated Nusing 2009, I took a board November, I passed the board
January 2010 may mga trainings na akong sinalihan, tambay muna, seminars sinalihan, Red Cross Training din parang may narinig
ako na parang mag hire... ay... na pwede lang mag volunteer as a school nurse dito kasi ang balita ko yung isang nurse dito dati
ahh… he requested to be transferred at head center... nakapunta na ba kayo ng... may Health Center kasi tayo sa Agdao, San
Pedro College sa Agdao gusto niyang magtransfer doon so basically naghahanap sila ng bagong school nurse na lalaki na dito e
assign. Nung nalaman ko ay... gumawa agad ako ng resume and all. Nagstart ako as volunteer… I started here as volunteer for 2
months September and October, 2 months volunteer, yun ayaw volunteer lang... walang bayad wala kasi volunteer lang… but yung
head namin dati... usually pag before ako mag out kasi morning lang ako e minsan nililibre ako ni sister ng lunch, half day siya
parang 8-12?! 8-12 yung duty ko tapos... after October... meron pa din... Marami pa ding nagvolunteer na ahead sa akin, apa- apat
kaming pinilian? apat of Lima na lalaki.. actually ako napili nila then I started in my job, December? December 2010 nagstart ako as
contractual, contractual employee and nataps ako ng May then actually 6 years na akong regular dito pero before ako nagstart
talaga na assign muna ako sa Ulas, Kalansay pa yan siya (lauging) ginawa nila akong safety officer doon; nurse ako ng mga
construction worker yung mga masugatan, mahulugan akin yun lahat pero after 3 months binalik rin nila ako dito so hanggang
ngayon mga 6 years… It's my 6 years na as a regular employee… akala ko it is nga madali lang ako dito… akala ko nga madali
lang ako but I’m enjoying naman (laughing)

Interviewer: Next po kay, ano. What do you know about the k to 12 program?

Interviewee: gasto! Char lang... (laughing) actually I try to look, gasto talaga siya kasi it’s additional burden for the parents, hindi
naman lahat well off talaga... but, para sa akin it should be uhm... parang way, way before pa sana dapat na implement na sana ang
k to 12. I think tayo na lang din kasi yung nahuli eh. Mahirap din kung hindi tayo magfollow sa trend kasi kunwari how about the
Asian Integration, kung anong nangyari, mahirap masyado, kasi mabehind talaga tayo. Yung, iba naka k to 12 na tapos tayo dito?
then kung magtrabaho... mag unite talaga yung naka k to 12 parang ganoon.
Interviewer: Ano po yung reaction niyo sa k to 12 implementation?

Interviewee: ah… ah wala na tayong magawa ang ano lang kasi is dati may narining.. yung mga... anong tawag nya? ayaw hindi.
mga. Anong tawag nyan? ano yan siya parang hindi naman siya parang big deal kasi para yang pagpasok ng k to 12 dito... yun lang,
yun lang man talaga, marinig no? Additional burden for the another year... but, pero kayo... nga grade 11 we are considering you as
a college na e, mind set namin is first year college nato sila, ganyan lang naman e.

Interviewer: What are your experiences po during the implementation of k to 12 dito po?

Interviewee: Uhm… ma… uhm... actually malaki talaga impact niya within the employees kasi if you try to think k to 12 has
additional 2 years uhm... so ngayon na school year lang konti lang masyado ang first year students natin. The k to 12
implementation I think babalik sa normal. Ma fill-in lahat ang 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year, 11 and 12 and I think 2020 or
2021 pa babalik sa normal, mahirap sa... mahirap din siya sa part ng school and employees kasi even the school is ano cross
cutting... Naga cross cutting ang school... in fairness with this school because they were come up solutions na yung iba is still given
their early retirements. Yung may mga programs silang binigay na if you reach 50 years old plus a 10 years of experience or work
experience dito sa school may binigay sila na package (coughing) you are going to avail it parang tax free, tax free plus ilang
percent ng sweldo ang nakuha mo times length of service ganun then meron ding iba na parang meron tayong tinatawag na
rebundancy ab... ce trabaho parang same lang so most probably i ca-cut ka dyan... marami ding mga parang actually di naman
matanggal ng school. They're open, they’re vocal na parang merong tanggalin, nangyari but ang gusto talaga nila is walang
matanggal so they have their efforts naman na... na shifting… Ilipat sa ulas campus... yung iba inilipat lang ng department. Yung iba
talaga na nagtatanong kung ang nangyari bakit yang... nagapanic o something yung iba is nag resign din kasi sila agad... maraming
nagresign so dahil sa nagresign yung iba a lot of vacant positions so yung mga nagsobra ililipat din naman sila doon… parang di na
sila natanggal and I think parang meron din akong Naririnig na… Ito yung dating ano niya parang ilipat siya sa ganito... tinanggap
kasi ewan ko kung ano yung nasa isip ko eh if you're, if you're assigned into another job kahit... mababa... aw I mean mas hayahay
but di talaga yan siya… siya magbaba kung 100,000 ba ang sweldo mo jan tapus ilipat .a sa medyo hayahay edi 100,000 pa din yan
no, no, no yan na nilipat ka lang pero di yan siya bababa. Yun lang nagapost lang din ng medyo ano sa amin takot; na baka mag
cross cutting talaga kasi di kaya ng Senior High School buhayin ang school kung i cocompare siya sa mas maraming first year
college kasi kunwari 40,000 ng buong taon niyo pero ang First Year eh nagbabayad sila sa 1st sem. eh tapos iba din bayad ng 2nd
sem. so parang hindi din talaga nila masustain e.

Interviewer: So, last na po. How did the implementation affect the nature of your work po?

Interviewee: Wala naman kasi, katulad ng sinabi ko pagpasok ng mga Grade 11 our mindsets college nato sila eh, pumatong lang
sila ng 11 and 12 kasi may additional 2 years na eh... ang ano lang namin is... hindi namin kayo ginababy kasi nagsabot na kami na
di natin i baby ang Senior High kasi kung walang k to 12 considered 1st year college na talaga yan sila, minsan maano din kami ba
na kaarte oy... hoy! Di naman to sila bata, ganyan ba the... the way ano eh wala... ano lang additional bagong uniform (laughing) I
mean sa bagay Bata pa nga pero kung iisipin mo din talaga kahit First Year College Bata pa din naman talaga yan... pero significant
ano? Wala naman... ano lang may bagong ano... May Griffins na kami sa Intrams (laughing)

development, so that’s our main… uhm… job but in our office we have *coughs* three fold ministries, since we are a dominican
school we have three fold ministries first, uhm… worship ministry second formation ministry and third um service ministry. Okay, ang
saakin ang service ministry ang work ko talaga is… uhm… ako yung head sa, kumbaga ako yung service minister ng school. kami
yung pumupunta, ako yung nag he-head sa students and employees natin na tuwing I think once or twice a month pumupunta kami
sa Marilog district we have already adopted schools there yun yung focus ko sana but eh… uhm… tapos yung doon sa tinatawag
naming evangelization doon sa bukid. So doon sa bukid ginagawa ko is ginaguide ko yung students and employees and for their, for
our values formation, kasagaran sa mga students ay mga IT ‘salo salo majority sana ay matig sano tribe and yun talaga work ko
yung mga recollection din yung mga students and teachers doon dapat and may retreat sa mga graduating students and every,
every, every christmas season nagbibigay kami ng mga gifts, supplies and ano pa then values formation, retreats, supplies mga
food, food din and yung recollection and retreat ng teachers pero yung focus namin ay yung mga students pero pag merong mga
makitang funds pwede teachers. Pero dito sa school, yung common na ginagawa namin as staff is mag prepare ng mass,
bumibigay ng recollection and retreats sa students, naga assist sa mga facilitators in case may mga facilitators from the outside
tapos hindi kami nag fafacilitate and they need assistance kami yung naga assist sa kanila then mga prayer activities… rituals ng
church yun yung common na ginagawa namin.

Interviewer: Ilang years na po kayo nagtatrabaho ditto?

Interviewee: uhm… I graduated last march 31, 2010 1PM *chuckle* after graduation my first work gyud kanang… Klaro gud na work
kay is with the ministry but, uhm… kasi dito ako grumaduate so naging working scholar ako dito. So from the word working scholar
nag work ako when I was a student here, na assign ako sa registrar’s office pero for 4 years dito ako nag stay so ako yung naging
first scholar na pwedeng pumasok dito kasi before bawal yung mga students. Tapos there were times na iniiwan ako sa dito office
ako yung incharge kasi may nag sisikot.ako yung naga prepare sa mass, nagtutugtug sa mass kasi, uhm… hindi marami yung hindi
marami yung staff last mga 10 years ago dito so kailangan nila ng assistance ng mga students so yun iniiwan nila ako dito. Then
after graduation akala ko doon ako sa registrar’s office kasi 4 years ako doon na assign, dito ako nilagay kasi needed ang staff so
mga kuan na… June 2010 mag 7 years na * chuckles*

Interviewer: What do you know about the k to 12 program po?

Interviewee: K to 12 from Kindergarten to Grade 12 so ang merong mga seminars na giconduct ang school pero hindi kami maka
attend kasi may mga activities din kami… but for me no, from what I heard from others negative and positive ng feedback kay
uhm… ang concern ko as a service minister parang negative siya sa work. Doon sa bukid ba kasi yung mga lumad doon sa after
High school ang possibility na gagawin nila is mag minyo or manrabaho magpa maid. Tapos nadungagan pa gyud ug another 2
years so medyo murag labo ba kapoy sila. Kapoyan silag skwela problema silag kwarta kay bisag public school they need to pay
the kanang kuan gud bayranon bisag gamay lang dagko na sa ila and kapoy pud sila mag pero naa mag naningkamot kay they
need to walk 2 hours before going to school sa katong kuan ha but the other side positive pud is kanang the student can can know
their talents and abilities kung asa jud sila padulong for example naa siyay talent sa music naa may particular na strand ana pero
atong school wala. Cooking unsa ba makit’an ilang. Then kuan pud ang negative pud is diba we have 2 years na walay ay 4 years
na diba this time though naa tay 1st year pero… gamay lang 1 section lang dili parehas sa una na daghan kaayo hantod 30 or
hantod 40 so medyo ang kuan pud gud ang financial aspects pa gud sa school medyo nag low the are some teachers na nag adto
sa lain school. Particular public schools kay mas dagko didtog offering. naa mi staff diri sa una nibalhin tungod kay possible man
gud na siyay matanggal kay siya man gud ang last kung sa business na siya last in first out naa puy first in first out tapos since
katong mga first na naa sa school mga 10 years so lisod na siya tanggalon katong mga bag’o mao to ang mga out una so sila man
ang bag’o though there are some mga bagong employees na mga 2 years na lain schools, lain ang work ana siya ang trending
tapos nakulbaan pud ang school kay naa man guy announcement na daghan mawala didto lisod man gud ang grade 12 before na
implement. Naay pahulay sa dili sila maka recieve ug sweldo, sweldo… pero kung arang arang na kung okay na ang dagan sa
school mubalik sila. There are some employees na gipaskwela sa gawas pero ginapinangkamotan din sa school na ma handle.
Kabalo mo ana? Kabalo namo karon.

Interviewer: How did you react po sa k to 12 implementation dito sa school?

Interviewee: how did you react? Both ways positive and negative kay nafeel pud nako dati before na tung giimplement sa Dep ed.
Dep ed man ta no. *laughs* dugay na no kanang hindi sila prepared kay even sa tong mga schools na gina adtoan nako didto
“Ma’am kamusta ang K to 12?” “sir ang books wala pa niaabot. “wala paman mi buildings sa grade 11, asa man ni ipangbutang kay
nanaghan ang mga estudyate” an ana ang mga concern then sige lang naga naga adjust paman ang mga tao na naga handle then
ang nakulbaan nako kay naga teach ako ng RS before o patay wala nani RS sa college na ano man sa grade 11 and 12 pero ang
later sa katong murag after a year kay murag na okay napud then nag struggle pud mi kay first man gud diri sa college man gud no
mga RS subjects nasa college so pag abot sa Senior High nag buhat mig mga kuan subjects for you from grade 11 to grade 12 nag
lisod mi ato grabe sigeg meeting ganyan ganyan mga discussions “ngano kani kana” pero happy pud mi kay wala man diay giwala
ang mga RS Subjects gidungaggan lang naa man guy requirement sa CHED ay Dep Ed man mo no? CHED no. Kay dito sa CHED
na ang taga’an man gud na pila ka subjects kay depende sa school kung unsay ihatag that’s why naay RS kay perrogative ng
school kay Catholic school man.

Interviewer: Ano po ang mga experiences niyo po so far when K-12 program was implemented in this institution?

Interviewee: For me, I don’t have any remarkable experiences since all processes and procedures are almost the same with the
college.

Interviewee: Since SPC embraced the K-12 program, my work was greatly affected. It is an addition to my workload since no
additional staff has been hired for that particular assignments. I am bound to submit reports to three agencies: DepEd for the SHS,
CHED for the college and the graduate school and TESDA for the vocational course. I have to prepare three kinds of reports with
three different deadlines to meet.
