This paper examines the different forms of family capital in the context of parental involvement in children's schooling. This paper has three-fold goals. First, it ascertains the level of parental involvement of Filipino parents as perceived by the parents themselves and their children. Second, it investigates the impacts of various forms of capital on parental involvement. Third, it determines which type of capital will have a significant impact on parental involvement. This paper is based on a survey among elementary and secondary students and their parents of purposively selected 29 elementary and secondary schools in the Philippines. These schools were selected as they were part of a corporate social responsibility project. This paper concludes that parental involvement among parents from low-income households is generally low. Parents are relatively more involved in parenting for education. Results of the multiple regression analysis reveal that membership in CCT (Conditional Cash Transfer), participation in community activities, parent's level of education, and family size predicted parental involvement. The results point to the idea that parents with better social and human capital are likely the ones who will be more involved in their children's education.

This study investigates the impact of Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) in incentivizing the work performance of public-school teachers in the Philippine educational bureaucracy. Using a cross-sectional design, a survey was administered to public school teachers and personnel in 10 selected schools in the Cagayan Valley region, Philippines. The mechanism of incentivizing work performance is found efficient in increasing work productivity. The interplay of top-down and bottom-up management approaches is paramount in the planning and realization of the agency's PBB key result areas. However, there are perceived issues that the PBB scheme needs further clarification and improvement in its implementation. Regardless of how they may feel about the practical difficulties in the PBB implementation, it serves its purpose as a strong incentivizing scheme for employees to perform, which has a good effect on work productivity.
