Blockchain Technology as a Competitive Advantage for Higher Education Institutions in the Philippines
This research explores blockchain as a competitive advantage (CA) for higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines. The respondents" awareness of the relevance of blockchain use was also tested. The researcher aims to verify if blockchain is a foundational technology to be implemented in academe. Theoretical framework was formulated based on the knowledge procurement cycle and distributed learning ledger. The researcher proposes that conceptual framework, centered on blockchain (Ethereum) will enhance recordkeeping in education. Frequency, percentage, and weighted mean determined the degree of relevance of blockchain as CA of Philippine HEIs. One way ANOVA determined respondents" significant relationship (SR) with regard to blockchain awareness and identified SR of blockchain as CA over other colleges in terms of cost and differentiation. The results showed that students were most aware of the relevance of blockchain while professors were least aware. Both null hypotheses were accepted. There is no SR on the respondents" awareness on the use of blockchain. Respondents considered technology relevant and a foundational technology in recordkeeping. The research proposes EduChain Activity Flow Model to enhance recordkeeping in the academe. It will offer ample job opportunities to students in the field of blockchain. Also, the researcher suggests that administrators may incorporate blockchain training as part of faculty development. This research will pave the way for future researchers to study other aspects of blockchain in education.

Establishing a Pilot Interprofessional Education (IPE) Program in a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the Philippines
A pilot interprofessional education (IPE) program in the Philippines has been initiated in a private higher education institution by three Filipinos who were formally trained in IPE from a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Research and Training on IPE. Guided by the WHO educator and curricular mechanisms on IPE and an understanding of the local context, a four stage action plan was created for the pilot IPE program, which involved 10 health science programs. The experience from the initial implementation was challenging and required perseverance as well as inclusive leadership. Nevertheless, the program's accomplishments such as continuous faculty training in IPE, constant communication among faculty members and students on IPE, and an inter university collaboration to host the first ever local IPE conference were noted. The article concludes with lessons learned from the pilot IPE program and future directions in further contributing to the growth and sustainability of IPE programs in the Philippines.

The Governance of Inclusive Maritime Higher Education in the Philippines
Maritime activities, including sea transport, fishing, and marine tourism are closely tied to the lives of many Filipinos for the Philippines being archipelagic and consist of 7,100 islands. It is therefore natural for many Filipinos to pursue a maritime career by attending maritime education and training (MET) programs [1] Filipinos used to be the leading supplier of seafarers in the global market, however in recent years, China, Russia and other seafarer supplying countries are pushing up their ranks. A global estimate in the demand of seafarers is 92,000 in 2020 to 147, 500 in 2025 [2] However, in order to build the maximum capacity of Filipino seafarers, the need to provide inclusive MET as well as the reduction of economic and geographical inequalities among the different regions. This paper compares selected MET institutions' access by numbers in different administrative regions and presents preliminary analysis on the influence of governance in terms of accessibility to MET.

Evaluative analysis of data through the use of quantitative and qualitative analysis wasemployed. The survey method for quantitative analysis and multi method approach or triangulation forqualitative analysis of data were employed. Results validated that the policy was fully implemented for two(2)reasons: (1) The institutions are allowed to add but not to deduct from the prescribed minimumrequirements by CHED; and (2) Filipino must be recognized as one of the academic courses in GeneralEducation Curriculum. Also, results vouched that Filipino GECcourses offered inHEIs were not unified. Interms of medium of instruction, publications and communications, Filipino is not the official language usedbut exclusively English. However, the use of English and Filipino is inseparable in actual classroominstructions and oral communications. It was also evident that not having the language policies andprograms in Filipino of HEIs for its intellectualization implies theirlack of support, advocacy and politicalwill. Thus, the formulation of language policies and programs in Filipino must be given priority attention inthe micro language planning.
