This qualitative research was conducted to determine the students' experiences while studying during the global Covid-19 crisis at Capiz State University -Mambusao Satellite College, Poblacion, Mambusao, Capiz for the school year 2020-2021. More precisely, it sought to find answers to the following problems: (1) What are the struggles and difficulties participants encountered during this pandemic and (2) What are the coping mechanisms employed by the participants? The participants of this study were five (5) selected students from CAPSU-MSC. Open-ended questionnaire was used as the data gathering instrument to determine the students' experiences while studying during the global COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was also conducted to expand and to better understand the answers of the participants. The data were coded based on the emerging themes that occurred in the analysis. The major findings of this study based on the results were: Participants answered that stress in studies, lack of interaction with peers and teachers, lack of willingness in learning, difficulty to focus due to some distractions such as background noises and obligations at home, as well as the new mode of learning are some of what they encountered while studying at the time of global COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite these negative experiences, participants also expressed positive experiences during the pandemic as they still participate in school activities as well as they develop a sense of responsibility not just for their academic endeavors but also their relationship with family. Participants mentioned that poor internet connectivity and lack of personal gadgets, no guidance while studying, anxiety, workloads, learning environment, transportation, togetherness and time management were the struggles and difficulties they experienced while studying during the coVID-19 crisis. The participants expressed that the major differences in studying before and during the pandemic. There are interactive discussions and enough attention during pre-pandemic but participant received lack of attention and feedback from their instructors while studying at the time of pandemic. Most of the participants answered that comfortable learning environment (schools/institutions) promotes meaningful learning experiences. But in an uncomfortable environment, they find that it's hard to focus due to background noises and distractions like their obligations at home. Majority of the participants said that their family and friends help them with their academic endeavor by being reliable and supportive in their studies likewise their source of comfort and inspiration. The participants indicated that the institution gives consideration through printed modules for those students' who cannot access online. But on the other hand, the participants also said that they are hesitant and doubtful to approach their instructors for some questions or clarifications. Furthermore, in order for them to cope with all the difficulties they encountered, participants mentioned that acceptance of the situation is a big help in overcoming all of it. They also said that self- trust and proper mind-set helps them to slowly believe that they will overcome it. Lastly, with all of these experiences, participants indicated that trusting God is their greatest weapon to face and overcome all of these difficult experiences.

Reading is a skill that has been used for thousands of years and will be used for thousands more for as long as communication is a need. On the other hand, culture has been present since the ancient times and will remain present until human beings cease to exist. Due to the relevance, timelessness and usefulness of the two, the researchers decided to conduct a study which answers the questions: (1) Could Hiligaynon short stories indirectly portray the cultural identity of the Visayan community? If so, how? and (2) What are the categorizations of the identified cultural identities? Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis Theory (CDA) was used to analyze the three Hiligaynon short stories, and find out if these stories could indirectly unravel some information about the culture of people living in Panay Island. Using this method, the researchers have proved that reading short stories while learning about the culture of the story's setting is indeed possible. Results of the analysis revealed that literature, particularly short stories, contains some elements of the culture of the place or community involved in the story, specifically beliefs of the supernatural, traits and behavior, tradition and family life.

The study was conducted in Capiz State University Satellite College, Mambusao Capiz during the academic year 2016-2017 to answer the following questions: 1) What is the level of usage of codeswitching among Algebra teachers as perceived by the students in general and when categorized into socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents in terms of age, Sex, type of high school graduated from, course pursued, high school grade in Math, high school grade in English, usage of the English language at home, and outside the classroom? ; 2) What is the performance of the respondents in Algebra in general and when categorized according to their socio-demographic characteristics and 3) Is the level of usage of codeswitching among Algebra teachers significantly related to the performance of the respondents in Algebra? The respondents of the study were 144 second year students classified according to their respective courses (AB, BSFTE, BSOA and BSCS). A survey questionnaire was used to obtain the data needed in this study. Descriptive-correlational research design was used in this study. Frequency and percentages, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson' s r were used to analyze the data. The majority of the respondents were females, mostly 18 - 19 years old, who had their secondary education mainly in public schools. Most of the respondents are taking up Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Majority of the respondents had a grade of 80.00-84.99 in their high school grade in math and English which were interpreted as "satisfactory". When it comes to the usage of English language, majority of the respondents "sometimes" use the English language whether it is at home or outside the classroom. Results revealed that in general, the respondents perceived that their algebra teachers' codeswitching usage was "high". When categorized according to the socio-demographic characteristics, respondents regardless of sex, type of high school graduated from, course pursued, high school grade in math, high school grade in English, and usage of the English language outside the classroom, perceived that their algebra teachers' codeswitching usage was "high". In terms of age, respondents within the age bracket of 17 years old and below and 18-19 years old perceived that their algebra teacher' s codeswitching usage was "high", and 20 years old and above perceived that it was "very high". In terms of usage of the English language at home, respondents who seldom', 'sometimes', and 'often' use the English language at home perceived that their algebra teacher's codeswitching usage was "high"; whereas the only one respondent who 'always' uses the English language at home perceived that the algebra teacher's codeswitching usage was "very high". Moreover, results revealed that in general, the respondents had "fair" performance in algebra. When categorized according to the socio-demographic characteristics, respondents regardless of sex, type of high school graduated from, course pursued, high school grade in math, high school grade in English, had "fair" performance in Algebra. In terms of high school grade in math, respondents who had poor, fair, and satisfactory grades in math had "fair" performance in algebra; whereas, respondents who had very satisfactory grades in math during their secondary education had "satisfactory" performance in Algebra. It is further revealed that in terms of usage of the English language at home, respondents who seldom, sometimes, and often had "fair" performance in algebra; whereas, the only one respondent who always uses the English language at home had "poor" performance in algebra. In terms of usage of the English language outside the classroom, respondents who seldom, sometimes, and often use the English language outside the classroom had "fair performance in algebra, while respondents who always use the English language outside the classroom had 'satisfactory" performance in Algebra. No significant relationship between level of usage of codeswitching among algebra teachers and performance of the respondents in algebra was found.
