This project was pushed through to engage people towards proper waste collection, through the utilization of mobile devices of the communities in different municipalities. The study aims to develop and implement a sustainable and efficient waste management collection system by informing the residents of the garbage truck collection schedule available on their mobile devices. Additionally, the platform utilizes optimization and decision support algorithms, including queuing algorithms, to receive and review complaints efficiently. The researcher employed an incremental software development methodology, allowing the software to be developed and tested even when requirements are still evolving. The study is descriptive-correlational, as it involves evaluating the developed system based on feedback from expert respondents. The evaluation yielded an overall mean performance score of 4.75, interpreted as “Strongly Agree,” indicating that the system is well-prepared for deployment.

This study explores the beneficial uses of Microsoft Copilot as a support tool for Baliwag Polytechnic College instructors' lesson planning and activity design. Researchers evaluate the influence of Copilot on the creation of instructional content by examining the experiences and opinions of educators. The study demonstrates the advantages, difficulties, and opportunities for customization that come with incorporating Copilot into the curriculum. The results indicate that Copilot can significantly improve the effectiveness and caliber of lesson design, but also highlight certain implementation issues. This research offers insights into the future of technology-enhanced education and contributes to the expanding body of research on AI-assisted teaching strategies.

The adoption of innovative technologies is critical for improving teaching practices and student learning outcomes. Among these, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative tool capable of reshaping traditional educational paradigms. ChatGPT, a sophisticated language model developed by OpenAI, offers numerous opportunities for educators to enhance pedagogical effectiveness and streamline lesson preparation processes. This study explores the efficacy of ChatGPT in lesson preparation by surveying and interviewing teachers at Dr. Josefa Jara Martinez High School in the Philippines. It aims to understand their attitudes towards and experiences with integrating ChatGPT into their teaching practices. Despite the promising potential of AI in education, the adoption of such technologies in the Philippines faces significant barriers, including limited awareness, access issues, and concerns about technology integration. The findings reveal that while teachers recognize the benefits of using ChatGPT, such as improved efficiency and personalized instruction, challenges like lack of training and ethical concerns remain prevalent. The study underscores the need for comprehensive professional development programs and robust ethical guidelines to support the effective and responsible use of AI tools in education. The results show that teachers have a wide range of opinions, but many of them agree that ChatGPT has the potential to make lesson planning easier, offer individualized learning resources, and keep students interested in class. On the other hand, issues with consistency with curriculum requirements, dependability, and general efficacy were also apparent. The study sheds light on the challenges associated with integrating AI into education and makes recommendations for professional development, focused assistance, and ethical considerations to help high schools adopt AI technologies responsibly. Teachers can optimize learning experiences, improve teaching effectiveness, and give students the tools they need to succeed in the digital age by tackling these issues and utilizing AI's transformative potential.

The surge in the digital arts industry has brought forth critical challenges related to intellectual property (IP) and copyright protection. This paper introduces “Stella Vee,” an innovative isometric action-adventure video game developed to illuminate these pressing issues. Stella Vee immerses players in scenarios that mirror the trials faced by artists grappling with intricate IP dilemmas. This project not only presents Stella Vee but also extracts instrumental theoretical, practical, and technical insights cultivated from its evaluation. First, theoretical insights delve into player engagement and the role of visual aesthetics in gaming. Then, practical recommendations guide game developers in enhancing visual design as well as refining user interface (UI) and control mechanisms. Finally, on a technical level, implications extend to UI development and input method refinement. Within the confines of this game project, we aim to provide insights into the development of captivating, instructive, and user-centric video games poised to confront the paramount challenges surrounding IP and copyright preservation in our burgeoning digital epoch.

Emergency response is a crucial method for saving lives because the Philippines is one of the nation that is most vulnerable to disasters. Unexpected disasters happen all the time. The survival of those who were immediately impacted by a disaster depends on what happens in the initial hours after the accident. Even a minute difference in emergency response time has the potential to save or cost lives. Through this, the researchers were able to implement Dijkstra’s method to show the shortest paths in an application for emergency response. The ideas are organized in a way that suggests potential paths that first responders could take to locate victims. This article outlines a step-by-step process for choosing the optimum approach. Agile methodology was employed by the researchers when creating the application. The respondents gave the system a 4.52 out of 5 rating on the basis of the ISO 9126 evaluation tool, with a ‘Very Acceptable’ interpretation result. Thus, the system is now prepared for deployment.
