Abstract:Police officers often face intense pressure and demanding situations that can take a toll on their overall wellbeing. This study looked into how officers in Region 1, Philippines, are doing in terms of physical health, emotional stability, mental clarity, social support, and satisfaction with their work. Using a survey answered by 383 officers, the results showed that most feel mentally sharp, socially connected, and satisfied with their jobs. However, some also experience physical tiredness, emotional stress, and challenges in maintaining work-life balance. Most of the officers are young, male, collegeeducated, and earn a modest monthly income, with many also identifying as religious. While the overall picture is positive, the study points out that behind the strong front, officers need more support—especially in managing stress and staying healthy. To help, the study suggests programs focused on building leadership and emotional strength, offering support for families, improving access to mental health resources, and encouraging healthy lifestyles. By taking care of their well-being, officers will be better equipped to serve their communities and sustain a fulfilling career in law enforcement.

Abstract:The study focuses on the experiences of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) after regaining their freedom. The transition to life outside prison can be challenging, potentially leading to reintegration or disintegration. Researchers used transcendental phenomenology to extract vital information from 10 PDLs, identifying significant themes to better understand their situations. The idea of living outside the jail can bring mixed feelings, with excitement and hope but also uncertainty and worry. PDLs struggled to fulfill their obligations to their families and faced social disapproval and the temptation to end their lives as a form of escape. Despite these challenges, their connection and faith in God prevailed, and they realized the importance of becoming a better person for reintegration. The PDLs' vision is to provide for their families and sacrifice their own happiness for a selfless life disposition. The vision of young PDLs living a happy life with loved ones, spouses, or marriage is equally important.
