Abstract:Life is a never-ending struggle especially in different workplaces. However, dealing with it comes with how people look at life itself. This study looked into the stress proneness of the teachers of the first district of Ilocos Sur in 2019-2020. The descriptivecorrelation method of research was used. Randomized sampling of 50 teachers from the public, private and SUC schools were respondents. Frequency and percentage distribution, mean, Pearson Product Moment of Correlation and One Way Analysis of Variance were used to analyze the data collected. Results revealed that a great majority of the respondents are female, bachelor’s degree holder, 20-30 years old, single, Roman Catholic, with Teacher 1-3 position, Grade 6 teachers, 1-5 years in teaching and had attended seminars/trainings. Their level of stress proneness, including its clusters, is low. There is no effect between the personal profile of the respondents and the different clusters of stress proneness. There is no significant difference between and among the group of respondents and the clusters of stress proneness. It is therefore recommended that teachers should be strengthen in terms of professional development as well as health and wellness programs to cope up with the demands of work and people in the 21st century.

Abstract:Assuming a phenomenological stance that adopted an inductive approach (Creswell, 1998) and descriptive phenomenology (Christensen et al. (2017), this study explored and described the lived experiences of the resident-buri weavers of San Juan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines, determined the participants’ view of buri weaving, the Ilocano identity mirrored by the industry, and lexical items associated with the cultural practice. The analysis of their lived experiences revealed that the weavers have both positive and negative views of the panaglaga ti silag, representing their view of the industry and reflecting the defining Ilokano traits. Also, the narratives of the Buri weavers reflect the dynamics of their engagement in this treasured cultural practice and mirror the Ilokano traits. Government agencies and educational institutions should provide financial and technical assistance for the buri industry to continue thriving and for the weavers to keep improving their artistry and weaving skills. Through it, the silag weaving industry will continue to serve as a bridge that provides the missing link between the past, present, and future of the people in this part of the Province of Ilocos Sur. Also, 50 Ilokano buri weaving-related terminologies surfaced and were compiled in a supplementary material called Buri: Preserved Language
