Political families in the Philippines have become increasingly prominent, particularly in poverty-stricken areas, where they often centralize power by holding multiple government positions (Mendoza et al., 2013). Although the 1987 Constitution discourages political dynasties, it still upholds the freedom of voters to choose their leaders (Lacson, 2019). In Quezon City, the Belmonte Family has played a dominant role in local politics for over 30 years, significantly influencing both governance and youth political engagement. Research suggests that political dynasties can limit political diversity and reduce youth participation in democratic processes (Belschner, 2022). This study aims to examine how the Belmonte Family influences students in Quezon City's Fourth District, addressing existing gaps in the literature regarding youth engagement and the effects of political dynasties.

Integrating WPS into OJT programs can foster essential workplace behaviors such as accountability, time management, and systematic learning. In this context, the study aimed to address the following research questions: What is a Weekly Planning Schedule (WPS)? What are the advantages of using a Weekly Planning Schedule in office procedures during On-the-Job Training? How does the use of a Weekly Planning Schedule impact the performance of OJT students?

This study explored the impact of digital tools and platforms on the academic progress of college students, highlighting both their benefits and challenges. Technology was found to enhance learning by improving access to educational materials, promoting collaboration, and increasing student engagement. However, excessive use of technology for non-academic purposes often led to distractions and reduced focus. The study aimed to determine whether technology ultimately enhanced learning or posed barriers, offering insights for optimizing its use in educational settings. The findings contribute to the improvement of teaching practices, institutional policies, and curricula, ensuring that technology supports academic success rather than hinders it.

The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by students at St. Mary's College Inc., Quezon City, underscores the need to investigate its impact on study habits. Concerns have been raised about the potential negative effects of AI on critical learning skills. However, current research lacks a clear understanding of the direct causal relationship, particularly within localized educational contexts. This study aims to address that gap by examining how AI usage influences students' study methodologies. By analyzing both the positive and negative effects of AI and identifying potential mitigation strategies, this research seeks to inform educators and policymakers in making informed decisions about AI integration in education—ensuring that its use enhances rather than diminishes effective study habits.

Visual impairment remains a global challenge, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. While existing assistive tools such as smart canes and guide dogs offer support, they also present certain limitations. To address these shortcomings, the researchers proposed VISIONS—a wearable navigation aid that integrates an Arduino Uno microcontroller, ultrasonic sensors, and vibration motors into a jacket. This system provides tactile navigational cues to alert users of nearby obstacles, enhancing mobility and safety for individuals with visual impairments.
