Sa Labas ng Classroom features diverse perspectives of different topics (mainly Psychology) as narrated by students, friends, teachers, and interested guests. Sa Labas ng Classroom podcast is mainly motivated by how I miss my kwentuhan (story) sessions with former students.
Ang Patawad (forgiveness) ay ang pagpapalaya ng negatibong damdamin o kaisipan na nagreresulta sa pagtanggap sa bagay na nangyari na. Ito ay katulad ng pagpapawalang-sala, pagpapakita ng habag, at paglalayon na maiwasto ang kamaliang nagawa. Sa pamamagitan nito, nabibigyan ang taong nagpatawad ng pagkakataon na makawala mula sa galit at mapaghiganting hangarin, at ang taong pinatawad ng pagkakataon na magsisi at itama ang kasalanang nagawa. Malaki ang ginagampanan ng pagmamahal sa pagbuo ng pantay na pagsang ayon at paghahadlang sa kagustuhang magpataw ng parusa kapalit ng direktang pagpapatawad. Ang desisyon at abilidad ng isang tao na magpatawad ay lubos na nakadepende sa antas ng pagkakasala at damdamin, mga pinagdadaanan ng mga kalahok na naaayon sa yugto ng kanilang buhay, sa lebel ng pang-unawa at perspektibo, at sa sosyal na relasyong mayroon ang magpapatawad at nagkasala. Factors: 1. Pagtanggap sa hinihinging kapatawaran 2. Pagpapalaya sa negatibong damdamin sa nagkasala 3. Kawalan ng mapaghiganting hangarin --- Connect with the authors, and check out their small businesses via the following links: KrochaebyAeri: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086725340109&mibextid=ZbWKwL NiCrochets: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066349191334&mibextid=LQQJ4d --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/salabasngclassroom/message
"To give life a meaning, one must have a purpose larger than self." - Will Durant In this meaningful episode, The Hijabi Coach, Faye Detuyatu Kho openly shares about how her experience changed the way she views her purpose in life. With her passion to empower women, especially Muslim women, coach Faye differentiated living and existence and highlighted the importance of aligning with one's spiritual values. She also gave relevant tips in seeking professional help, comparing it to riding a plane to reach the destination (versus walking or riding a tricycle). I learned a lot from this conversation, and I hope that more people will have a better understanding of the importance of mental health and professional help. Despite our difference in religious affiliation, I deeply appreciated what coach Faye said, "Mental health is not about who believes in God and who doesn't." Listen to our conversation, and be inspired by her words as we continue to live worthy!

"The weak make others feel inferior. The strong make others feel equal." - Maxime Lagace In another inspiring and insightful episode, I learn a lot from sir Junix Delos Santos, as he defines and dispels some myths about the SOGIESC construct. He gives practical examples of how gender discrimination exists in our current society. Going beyond the examples, he mentions and briefly discusses technical terms such as lived and dead names and the Minority Stress Model. Lastly, sir Junix shares a few suggestions on how we can serve as safe spaces for people, especially members of minority groups. Listen in on our conversation, and learn a thing or two about how we can express and practice equality, even if we are not a part of the minority.

Disclaimer: This episode mentions rape as part of the context of one of the guest's answers regarding the host's question about possible research topics the researchers are interested in. --- Exploring Filipino therapists' experiences on vagueness in online cognitive behavioral therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic Abstract: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has urged healthcare services to transition into virtual setting, creating a challenge for both clients and therapists as they try to carry on with their usual routines in therapy, most especially when it comes to communication. With the use of descriptive qualitative design and Bordin's Therapeutic Alliance Model as guide, this paper looks into therapists' perspectives and experiences on online psychotherapy, particularly on virtually utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), in the Philippines to learn more about how to achieve positive therapeutic outcomes, despite being presented with communication challenges such as clients' ambiguity. The researchers explored therapists' experiences with regards to building therapeutic relationships, as well as therapists' interpretations on clients' ambiguity, and investigated therapists' strategies to continue with the conversation that presents ambiguity. Primary data were gathered, making use of thematic analysis to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. Consequently, the current study shows that clients' ambiguity is common and even inevitable at times, but chances of happening so may be reduced depending on the foundation of the client-therapist relationship and how therapists' strategies work on the client. Future research could include a larger sample size, and consider taking into account dialect differences and how it could pose a barrier in communication.

Reyes, M., Escote, A., Ferrer, A., Marpuri, J., Santos, A., Torres, R., Cayubit, R., & Bacaoco, J. (2022). Abstract Compared with the heterosexual population, the prevalence of mental health outcomes such as suicidality (suicidal ideation, suicide plans, and suicide attempts) is higher among sexual minority youth, particularly those who identify themselves as bisexuals. Bisexuals are at an even elevated risk within the LGB populations due to biphobia, monosexism, bisexual invisibility or erasure, and lack of support resources. These experiences may bring about issues regarding concealment of their sexual orientation linked to suicidality. Studies have also identified that parental support is a protective factor against suicidality among the youth, particularly their sexual orientation. The present study used a cross-sectional, predictive research design to examine parental sexual orientation support and concealment and their associations and predictive abilities in the suicidality of 151 Filipino bisexual youths aged 18-24 years old. The participants were recruited online within six months, from July 2021 to December 2021. As measured by the Parental Support for Sexual Orientation Scale, Sexual Orientation Concealment Scale, and Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised, results showed that among our bisexual participants, parental sexual orientation support and concealment did not have a significant relationship with and could not predict their risk for suicidality. Limitations and suggestions for further research were discussed, considering our findings.

"Life is full of positive and negative experiences, but the quality of one's life will always depend on the ones that dominate one's focus the most." - Edmond Mbiaka As a returning guest, James Casino initiates a conversation about how we can turn a negative experience to a positive one. He acknowledges that the topic itself is broad, and chose to center our discussion around relationships. Starting from rock bottom and reaching where he is today, James' progress as a person can easily be viewed as an inspiration. Anchoring his insights on his personal experience, specifically about growing up in a broken family and choosing to be responsible for his daughter, may this conversation encourage us to find the silver lining in our current life, despite the struggles we sometimes choose to keep silent about.

"Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long." - Michael Gungor After being inspired by the news that her art has been featured in the Flowery Lingerie exhibit of Gallery IYN in Osaka, Japan, I invited Priscilla Dayandante to record a podcast episode. As the genuine artist that she is, she suggested that we talk about pursuing passions and creative burnout. So, here we are! In this episode, Ella (though I call her Prizi), emphasizes the importance of taking and doing the first step despite the effect of fear/s. She also becomes vulnerable as she shares her experience of creative burnout, the things that inspire her, and how burnout changed her artistic style. We even discuss how we view art pieces that we consider as 'personal'. Listen to our dynamic conversation as we share insights about the hustle culture and go beyond the usual "passion vs. degree" context.

Online readiness and self-efficacy of students as reflected on online learning (2021) Binlingan, A., Mapilis, M., Ognayon, P., Batchi, J., & Gotia, K. Abstract The Department of Education has adopted distance learning since all academic levels were advised to have their learners stay at home as a safe response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Online learning practices have gained momentum. The developments in network technologies and the need for its capabilities to make learning possible and realistic in the safety of the learners' and teachers' home. Online learning is new to most universities in the Philippines in handling higher education. Henceforth online learning has become a topic for controversies as parents, learners, and teachers may not be fully ready to meet the demands and challenges online learning may bring about. While up-to-date studies have examined the online learning readiness and self-efficacy of traditional learners, there remains a need to understand these variables amidst the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to examine online learning readiness and self-efficacy through Quantitative Descriptive Correlational Method. The researcher was able to include five dimensions under online readiness, which are (a.) Self-Direction, (b.) Learning Preferences, (c.) Study Habits, (d.) Technological Skills, and (e.) Computer Equipment Capabilities. The researcher was able to study the level of online readiness and the level of self-efficacy. Examining literature studies from various scientific articles and an in-depth survey were conducted with a sample population of students enrolled in online learning. The researchers have included 385 learners, regardless of their gender. They are from the seven different colleges under the trimester program of the University of Cordilleras. The result of the study was able to show that the level of online and the level of self-efficacy is average. Furthermore, online readiness and self-efficacy have a significant and strong positive relationship. The study implies that when the level of online readiness of respondents is high, the level of self-efficacy also tends to be high, and vice versa. This phenomenon also explains the online readiness and self-efficacy to both in the average level.

Lived Experiences of Gays with Verbal Abuse Seacaor, L. C., Mosarbas, K.G., & Lacbawan, E.L. (2020) Abstract: This study sought to explore the lived experiences of gays with verbal abuse and its effect to their emotional health using a qualitative field research design and conducting in-depth interviews with five gay students at the University of the Cordilleras. Generally, bullying and abuse to LGBTQ members, specifically to gay students, have increasingly gained attention in the country as a serious issue which has to be resolved. This paper described verbal abuse and the experiences of the gay students and how it affected their emotions and feelings. Findings show that they receive verbal abuse at their own homes as well as in their schools, both from family members, classmates, faculty and staff, friends, and strangers. This verbal abuse was in the form of consistent “panlalait” (teasing), “pagbabanta” (threatening), “pagmumura” (cussing), stereotyping, and discriminating. Likewise, verbal abuse had caused negative influence on them especially on the state of their emotional health. They feel down, sad, anxious, threatened, concealed feelings and were unable to trust others. In coping with verbal abuse, they basically just shrug all the negative words thrown to them and they try to understand their abusers while they make sure to keep a positive mindset. They also hold importance to the support and love from their families, especially their parents, and their friends thus it was further concluded in the study that important relationships are vital in a gay's life in order to cope with verbal abuse.

The "Can't Say No Syndrome" among Filipino adults Garcia, R. (2017). ABSTRACT An individual who displays the Can't Say No Syndrome (CSNS) has a sense of self-worth that appears to depend on the support of others. They have difficulty in being assertive and are habitually saying “yes”. Similar to the concept of the CSNS are Filipino cultural notions namely, “kapwa”, “hiya”, “utang na loob”, and “pakikisama”. This value system can be illustrated in the popular Filipino concept of “masamang tao”, “walang hiya”, “walang utang na loob” and “walang pakikisama”. The current study has investigated the factors, advantages and disadvantages of the CSNS. Interviews were conducted to nine (n=9) male and female adults between the age of 23 – 56 years old residing in Benguet, Pangasinan and Metro Manila. Pagtatanung-tanong (asking questions) and pakikipagkwentuhan (sharing stories) were used to determine their experiences. Responses from the interview were analyzed through thematic analysis too. The results show that the CSNS among Filipino adults are evident in almost all the aspects of interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. The result reveals themes namely: Moral Obligation, Guilt, Avoidance of Negative Outcomes and having No Choice. However, the CSNS can be advantageous as individuals were motivated to Self-Actualize. Conversely, this may lead to such disadvantages: Contradicting Ones' Own Values and Beliefs, and People Pleasing and Approval Seeking to adhere to expectations and aspirations of others.

Self-consciousness and the experience of the impostor phenomenon among Filipino young adults Gahid, M. (2017). Abstract Previous researches documented the Impostor Phenomenon among adults and Asians. This study responds to the limited exploration of Impostor Phenomenon among young adults and Filipinos, which aims to (1) identify the dominant dimension of self-consciousness among Filipino young adults; (2) determine the most experienced Impostor Phenomenon factor; (3) investigate the contribution of self-consciousness dimensions to Impostor Phenomenon. Filipino young adults (N=452) from Benguet, Ilocos Region, and National Capital Region completed the Self-Consciousness Scale and the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale. Filipino young adults scored high on all dimensions of self-consciousness where public self-consciousness was rated the highest. In terms of Impostor Phenomenon experience, Fake was identified as the most prevalent factor. Personal and societal perceptions and generation differences are seen as potential explanations of the findings. All dimensions of self-consciousness significantly contribute to the Impostor Phenomenon experience of Filipino young adults. Cultural concepts that mainly contribute to the results are discussed. Relevant suggestions about positively strengthening the self-consciousness of Filipino young adults and how to deal with Impostor Phenomenon experiences are provided.

Our conversation includes the experience of losing loved ones, various sources of insecurity, and the importance of one's social circles.

"Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood." - Walt Disney Disclaimer: This episode mentions movie titles and characters, and may contains strong emotions and opinions.

Aside from sharing their favorite characters, we also discuss topics such as Savior Complex, censorship, and the responsibility of parents related to media use.

"Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer." - Ed Cunningham Maybe you have a friend you haven't heard from for some time. Maybe you have a friend you have always felt comfortable with, but never mentioned how grateful you are for having him/her/them in your life. Maybe you have a friend you miss, and more so because of the pandemic. We hope this episode gives you a unique feeling of being home. We hope this episode allows you to remember them, and maybe encourage you to reconnect with them. In the most intimate episode of the podcast so far, I allow you to listen in as I and two of my closest friends, Vanessa Villanueva and Janica Gaye Bucaneg, have a conversation about our 12-year-old friendship. Our discussions were never linear, and this episode is a typical example of such. We talk about love languages, fishes, and crushes among others. Vanessa also shares her White Shirt Theory in identifying if someone is really handsome. Then, in a seemingly unexpected turn, we become more serious in reminiscing about the years that we have shared. Cheers to all friendships! P.S. On a personal note, this episode gave me a lot of ideas I would like to try for the next ones. I hope you stay tuned for the experiments :) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/salabasngclassroom/message

These scenarios might have been insignificant before the pandemic, but when we talk about these moments today, they make us nostalgic. What happens when factos outside our control force us to adapt to a completely different learning structure? In this episode, Paul Jacalan and Vincent Balucanag narrate their experiences as students of synchronous online classes.

Gass Aside from my excitement of reaching one of my favorite numbers, this episode features two writers I admire. Kein Chito is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and friend. He published his first book, The 9 Secrets of Sticky Families when he was 24 years old. The said book became a finalist in the Cardinal Sin Catholic Book Awards in Family Life Category in 2015. His other works include Confessions of an Ex-Seminarian and Start with P1,000 in the Stock Market. Jaizy Tanawe is also an author, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur. Her passion to help young people find their life purpose so they can pursue things they truly value inspired her to write the book, “Awaken the greatness in you: 8 keys to unlock the greatness in you to achieve success and make a difference!” Her newest book is entitled "I'm Tired! I Give Up! A Teen's Survival Guide for Growing up." In the shortest episode so far, we talk about our passion for writing and go back to how we picked up a pen. We also briefly share about how writing affects our mental health and vice versa.
