The success of our 1st Madayaw International Multidisciplinary Research Conference last December 2018 inspired us to organize our 2nd Madayaw International Multidisciplinary Research Conference with the theme: “The 4th Industrial Revolution: Its Impact on Education, Health, Culture, and Environment” on August 14-15, 2019 at the Apo View Hotel Davao. This year’s conference is in partnership with the City Government of Davao, the Department of Science and Technology XI, the Commission on Higher Education XI, the Regional Development Council XI, C & E Publishing, and Quipper.
The 2ndMadayaw International Multidisciplinary Research Conference is also our tribute to the 34th Kadayawan Festival, a thanksgiving celebration of good harvest and richness of Davao’s culture. Kadayawan is derived from the Dabawnon word “madayaw,” which means anything good, beautiful, valuable, pleasant, and productive – a familiar feeling when one accomplishes a research work. Madayaw is also the peer-reviewed multidisciplinary research journal of San Pedro College.
Realizing this conference is our contribution to the Filipino and Global Community as we stand in the verge of technological revolution that would fundamentally influence the way we live, work and relate to one another. This will serve as a platform not only in sharing knowledge and innovation generated from the researches of participants but also to come up with an integrated and comprehensive response involving all stakeholders: from the public and private sectors, academe, and civil society as we welcome the challenges and opportunities of the 4th IR. Our invited speakers here and abroad will broaden our understanding of the impacts of this technological revolution to humanity, to wit:






PRC-CPD credit units are also applied for the following professions: Professional Teachers, Physical Therapists, Medical Technologists, Nurses, Accountants, Respiratory Therapists, Guidance Counselors, Physicians, Architects, Engineers, Psychometricians, Psychologists, and Agriculturists.
The two-day conference paved way to many linkages and collaborations between participants, organizers and sponsors. Our hearts are overwhelmed with the outcome and positive feedback from the participants. San Pedro College will work hard to conceptualize the 3rd Madayaw International Multidisciplinary Research Conference.
With the theme “The 4th Industrial Revolution: Its impacts on Education, Health, Culture and Environment”, Madayaw Multidisciplinary Research Conference 2019 opened with a bang at Apo View Hotel, Davao earlier today.
Researchers all over the the country and some foreign delegates from ASIAN neighbouring countries such as Thailand, gathered to showcase different researches useful in in various fields of sciences namely: Health Sciences, Social Sciences, Business and Management, Arts, Language, Literature, and Education.
Dean of the College of Education at National University, Jessie S. Barrot, PhD, was invited to cater knowledge regarding researches which are highly-significant. He discussed tips on research making and book writing.
“After learning about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, from there researchers must figure out what they can contribute in this period,” Barrot stressed when asked about the stand of researchers in the Fourth IR. “They can be catalysts of change in the Fourth Industrial Revolution by starting the change within themselves.”
Barrot added that aspiring researchers must have the character and the passion if they when want to engage in this craft; they should take criticisms constructively.
He is also an author of Practical Research 1 and 2, Academic Reading and Writing for Senior High School, and wrote books regarding technical writing, business correspondence and speech communication.
Furthermore, Barrot also emphasised the importance of a good research and its impact towards the vast modernization.
The prestigious two-day event aims to publish highly-substantial researches and contribute to the progress all over the world, and will continue tomorrow.

One of the presentors, Kenneth P. Sumatra, MALit, an Assistant Professor 1 from the University of Mindanao, discussed the moral transition of the major heroines from Sidney Sheldon’s selected novels fluently despite the technical difficulties he encountered.
“I was immensely happy and nervous during that time because of the technical challenges,” Sumatra remarked in an interview. “But I am thankful to have it fixed and present my study, which is also my advocacy, regarding women empowerment.
Sumatra stated in an interview that the main objective of his study is focused on the morality and ethics of feminism through the moral development of the heroines from Sidney Sheldon’s selected novels; from there, he could create principles and consider women’s voices. “Basically, it is the moral empowerment for women,” he convicted.
After the presentation of the researches, an open forum encouraged co-researchers to clarify and constructively criticize one another.

During one of the presentations in the said field of science, Darryl Bolofer—a Grade 12 student from San Pedro College— was positively acknowledged by professionals and co-research presentors.
“The greatest challenge our group encountered was getting the correct number of particpants for data saturation. Nevertheless, we properly made it,” Bolofer shared when one of the participants asked him about the obstacles they faced in conducting the study.
When asked about what he felt about the unexpected commendations in an interview, Bolofer remarked, “In behalf of my research team, I am positively overwhelmed with how they acknowledged our study. I also feel grateful and humbled because this year’s conference has served as an avenue for us to advocate awareness about homosexual educators in classroom setting”.
