Pasig City has undergone several changes throughout its development. It was once
part of Rizal province and was declared a highly urbanized city in 1994. Unfortunately, with
the modernization of the city and lack of government support, the pottery industry struggled
to survive. The death of the pottery-making industry in 2019 poses risks to the art and
knowledge of pottery-making, losing its value and significance to modern day Pasigueños.

This study aims to find the relevance of the Bernardo Carpio legend to the Cultural identity of young Montalbeños (from ages 15-24). It employed mixed-method research in order to gauge the youth’s awareness of the legend, discover the annexes from which information is obtained, find the meanings attributed, and asses its relevance. Through a Survey-Questionnaire, results from 36 respondents have found that the youth is generally unaware of the Bernardo Carpio legend, exhibiting a high awareness of its basic premise but a low awareness of story details and its History. A Focus Group Discussion composed of 6 people revealed five major themes: 1) [Bernardo Carpio as] the Mean Between the Mountains of Montalban, 2) Bernardo Carpio is a
Potent Figure of Persistent Strength, 3) Bernardo Carpio is Montalban’s Distinct Cultural Icon to take Pride in, 4) Bernardo Carpio is a means of Inclusion in the Community of Montalbeños, and 5) Difficulty in procuring further knowledge of Bernardo Carpio. Findings show that although Bernardo Carpio is relevant to the cultural identities of young Montalbeños, it is not prevalent in their daily lives. As such, a 3-pronged campaign called “Huy. Kilala mo ba si Bernardo Carpio?” was prepared to prompt conversation about Bernardo Carpio among the youth to build bonds, foster a sense of belonging, and strengthen their cultural identity.

The study of this research aims to tackle how Filipino women are represented in teleserye,
starting with the history of teleserye in order to know when these representations started in the
Philippines. It will then explore teleserye to know how Filipino women are represented in this
platform while also identifying the underrated features of Filipino women, specifically Filipino
women heroes, working Filipino women, and Filipino women in households. It will also include
studies on what was the source of society in implementing these expectations to Filipino women,
and how did Filipino adapted these certain behaviors and values that they have implemented
within the society. The researcher will also identify which age groups use more of certain
platforms to know how frequent they consume these and the effects of their consumption. Based
on the data that the researcher has gathered, Filipino women are inaccurately represented.
Filipino women have been represented with oppression, gullibility, and bravery. They are also
not represented as intelligent, and the respondents also agree that there are gender norms and
stereotypes in teleserye. The perspectives of the respondents are also very often influenced by
the representations shown in the teleserye. The findings from the interviews that the researcher
has conducted shows that the representation of Filipino Women in Filipino-produced teleserye
was having traits of not being able to fight back, and women empowerment. Thus, the researcher
created a design solution using moving images, particularly animation. It is a 30-second short
animation film intended for commercial series. The short film will provide accurate
representations of Filipino Women in order to empower and inspire Filipino people.

Motorcycle driver behavior significantly contributes to traffic congestion in Metro Manila. Drivers often engage in risky behaviors to navigate heavy traffic, leading to bottlenecks and increased road traffic accidents. These behaviors disrupt the traffic flow and are a serious safety problem for all road users.

This study aims to improve motorcycle driver behavior to alleviate traffic congestion and road safety through a behavior-tracking tool. This application serves as a tool to monitor driving habits, provide feedback, and incentivize safe driving practices. By tracking behaviors and offering rewards such as points, badges, and discounts, the application encourages drivers to adopt more disciplined and safer driving habits. The application features a combination of behavior tracking, positive reinforcement, and educational content to reduce risky driving behaviors and promote a safe culture among motorcycle drivers. Improving individual driving habits aims to contribute to a more orderly traffic flow and a safer road environment for all road users of Metro Manila.
