- Effectiveness and Impact of Community Extension Program of One Philippine Higher Education Institution as Basis for Sustainability by Dr. Remedios P. Magnaye Abstract: Extension is one of the key thrusts of higher education that complements instruction and research. It is an instrument that shapes cultures and plays an important role in knowledge building. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and impact of the Community Extension program of one university that will serve as basis in developing strategies to sustain the community extension program of the university.Results of the study revealed that the effective community extension program is livelihood and entrepreneurship. Other community extension program on environmental clean-up/tree planting/waste management, computer literacy, health services and crime and drug prevention were less effective. The respondents assessed that livelihood and entrepreneurship program has moderate impact on the lives of the beneficiaries. However, other programs on crime and drug prevention, environment clean-up/tree planting/waste management, education and leadership, computer literacy and health services have less impact on improving the lives of the respondents in the community. There is a significant relationship between effectiveness and impact of community extension program in terms of health services program, livelihood/entrepreneurship program, education and leadership, environmental clean-up/tree planting/waste management and crime and drug prevention. However, no significant relationship was determined between effectiveness and impact of community extension program in terms of computer literacy program. Proposed strategies were crafted to enhance the community extension program in the health services program, education and leadership, environmental clean-up/tree planting/waste management, crime and drug prevention and computer literacy.Keywords: Effectiveness, Impact, Community Extension

- ARE FILIPINO HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS GETTING GLOBAL? AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF A PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION IN BATANGAS CITY, PHILIPPINES by Dr. Remedios P. Magnaye
Abstract – This study evaluated the global competencies, skills and attitudes of the 247 first year students of the College of Business Administration in one of the private higher education institution in Batangas City, Philippines. An exploratory study through a self-constructed questionnaire assesses the manifestation of global competencies and the extent to which global skills and attitudes need improvements. Results revealed manifestations of global competencies including communicate effectively in English, wide understanding of the world, international understanding of their specialization and exhibit cross-cultural sensitivity and adaptability. Furthermore, the students affirmed the need for improvements in self-confidence, creativity, patience, flexibility, courage, interest in continuous learning, perseverance, independence, resourcefulness and self-awareness. The statistical test of difference showed that the global competency differs based on age and not on sex nor program of study. Since the identified set of global skills and attitudes are too complex, the university needs to expose their students more in the different international students’ development programs.

Magnaye Abstract – This study assessed the self-perception of the selected Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) students on their academic, social and their emotional college preparedness. The students’ demographic profile was also tested for significant difference in the three constructs of the college preparedness. Through a self-made questionnaire in a 4scale Likert style, data were gathered from the 255 randomly selected ABM students of one private higher education institution in Batangas Province in the Philippines. Self-perception showed a college-prepared student academically, socially and emotionally. However, there are various constructs of their academic and social-emotional preparedness that need further improvements. The statistical test of significance indicated that the various constructs of academic, social and emotional preparedness have no difference by age, type of school, family income and order of birth. A significant difference was shown in the respondents’ sex and social preparedness but not on academic and emotional preparedness. Similarly, there was significant difference in the various constructs of academic, social and emotional preparedness in terms of the students’ GWA in high school. For this, high schools should develop collaborative teaching and learning strategies focus on reading and writing. In addition, colleges and universities may provide pertinent course information through their websites to guide the students on the various details of their chosen undergraduate courses. Indeed, to prepare students for college alone is insufficient; a college-ready student should complete a degree with a life-ready perspectives.

- Five-Year Declining Performance of Private and Public Schools in the Philippine Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination by Dr. Jake M. Laguador & Dr. Rey Fernan G. Refozar
Abstract – There is a national trend on the declining percentage of school performance in the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Licensure Examination in the Philippines. This report aims to present the result of this licensure exam in regional level between private and public schools. Quantitative descriptive type of research was utilized in the study using documentary analysis from the result of the Licensure Examination including almost 415 accountancy schools in the country with first takers. Results showed that large number of examinees did not contribute much to increase the record of passing percentage of a certain region but instead it pulls down the passing rate. Public schools in eight (8) regions of the country have significantly higher passing rate than private HEIs. Private HEIs had been consistent in terms of having higher percentage of institutions with zero percent performance rating among first takers. However, private universities produced more top performing examinees than other private colleges and public schools in the country. Findings of the study may provide insights to educational leaders in ensuring the quality on the delivery of instruction through maintaining qualified teachers with relevant knowledge and competencies necessary to prepare the accountancy graduates for licensure examination.

Ditan (2012)Lyceum of the Philippines University is proud that it has produced Customs graduates who have topped and passed in the Customs Brokers Licensure Examination (CBLE) which has not only demonstrated the match between Lyceum’s academic standards with those of Professional Regulation Commission and professional organizations but also brought prestige to LPU as the Customs alumni become assets to their respective professions and to the larger community.It is in this context that this study is being pursued with the end of identifying the strength and weaknesses of the program particularly on the areas being investigated on. It also seeks to identify the level of satisfaction of the students of the college on the quality of instruction and student services that would serve as basis for the formulation of strategic marketing plan.Research design was descriptive using documentary analysis and survey questionnaire as data gathering instruments. The respondents of the study are all BSCA students and faculty members handling professional and general subjects of Customs Administration. Statistical tools used were percentage and weighted mean.The findings revealed that the Lyceum of the Philippines University Customs Education manifests good status as to faculty and instruction, physical plant and facilities, and student services. Affiliation, linkages and extension are also good; however, enrolment is on a decreasing trend. While faculty development is evident, there is need to involve more faculty members in the program and likewise improve on performance of faculty in research. There are good opportunities for customs education primarily in possibilities of international practicum, presence of CALABARZON, and affiliations and linkages which would be useful to customs education students. Most evident threats are high tuition fees compared to other schools’ fees, employability after graduation, and demand for other courses. That customs education is still in the budding stage was also a threat. The students were mostly satisfied in the faculty and instruction and its site and campus; however, in lowest assessments were services of the library, registrar’s office and health services. The proposed marketing strategies when tried and implemented may serve as enhancement to the service and survival of the customs education program of the LPU-Batangas.On the basis of the conclusions, it is recommended that the College of Business Administration specifically the Customs Administration Department should maintain the quality of instruction being provided with the students. Benchmarking on good practices in customs education may be considered for improvement in academic and employability potentialities for students. Expanding and review of implementation of services of the health unit, the library and the registrar’s office is promoted so that students may be better served.Keywords: Customs Education, Marketing Plan, Business

Del Mundo (2011)Each year, mortality rate is always so high on Certified Public Accountants Examination that universities offering accountancy are expected to perform well as such manifest the program and the curriculum of their course offering. Based on records, performance of the accountancy schools in Region IV in the licensure examination needs to be improved in as far as readiness and preparedness of the students are concerned. It is in this context that the researcher as the president of the Association of Certified Public Accountant (ACPAE) Region IV was inspired to conduct this research to determine factors contributory to the high and low performance of students in seven (7) subjects given in the 2011 national mock board examination specifically for Region IV.The study aims to determine the Performance of Region IV Accountancy Cluster Schools in 2011 CPA Mock Board Examination. Results can serve as basis of an enhanced intervention program. Specifically, it will describe the profile of accountancy cluster schools offering accountancy program in Region IV, determine the school performance by clusters in the 2011 CPA Mock Board Examination on the following areas: Auditing theory, Auditing problems, Business Law and Taxation and Management Advisory Services, Practical Accounting 1 and 2 and Theory of Accounts. It will also identify significant relationship between the profile of the accountancy cluster schools and their performance in the 2011 CPA Mock Board Examination, and further propose an intervention program to improve / enhance the school performance in the seven (7) subjects in the CPA Board Examination.The researcher used the descriptive method as the study attempted to present and analyze the results of schools’ performance by clusters in seven (7) subjects in the 2011 CPA Mock Board Examination. The participants of the study were students of the different clusters in Region IV who took the 2011 CPA Mock Board Examination.

However, there are weaknesses on the innovations and approaches to teaching and learning. Although, there is a provision for continuing faulty development programs, still funding from the administration need to be addressed as a problem. As to qualifications of faculty members, they are both professionally and undeniably qualified to handle accountancy subjects for they have meaningful and significant experiences to their respective field. Besides, they performed well in their classroom preparation through with limitations in research activities. In as far as instructions are concerned, their classroom syllabi is regularly updated and well planned. The retention policy of the cluster schools is strong due to their accreditation compliance, as it marked competitive for the program BS Accountancy. The performance evaluation of cluster schools in Region IV is significantly related to faculty development program. The proposed plan of activities for enhancement of the performance of Mock Board Examination focused on subjects as Practical Accounting 1 & 2 and Auditing Problems and on area as faculty development program.School management for accountancy must prioritize their faculty to attend training on innovations and approaches to teaching and learning in order to attain effectiveness and efficiency on the delivery of the professional subjects. Moreover, adequate funding support for continuing faculty development program may be provided by the school administration and regardless representation of the faculty on attending seminar and conference is a must for them. Likewise, area in instruction of the different cluster schools needs to incorporate research requirement in order for the students to enhance and develop their research capability. The cluster school may continuously revise their retention policy for improvement in order to check the reliability of its implementation. Cluster schools in Region IV may tie up and close coordinate with the activities and program of ACPAE IV. This professional association envisions to help accounting teachers to develop their core competencies in teaching and research. The proposed intervention program may be tabled for discussion by accounting Deans of Region IV offering Accountancy program. A replication of study may be done in a national level with other predictors in determining the performance in CPA Mock Board Examination.Keywords: Accountancy, Board Examination, Certified Public Accountant
- The Causal Variables in Determining Relational Outcomes: An Industry Analysis By: Mr. Elbert Bryan Vidal (2010)This research, which expounds Thurao, Gwimmer and Gremler’s research on relationship quality paradigm aims to find out the causal variables that affect relational outcomes. The study indicates that service establishments across the nation often provide confidence and social benefits to their customers. As it is shown by statistics, providing these benefits are correlated with customer loyalty and word of mouth. Therefore as more of these benefits are afforded to customers, the more they will become loyal and talk positively about the establishment to people that they know. The respondents’ loyalty is particularly an outcome of the friendship that they have developed with the employees of the establishment as well as on the belief that they can trust the establishment that they are dealing with.However, although there is also a statistical correlation between special treatment benefits and relational outcomes, it is still a rarity that business establishments provide special treatment benefits to their customers. The study also reveals that similarities in the demographic characteristics of the client and the service provider also increase customer loyalty and word of mouth engagement. The demographic characteristics that appear to be significant include, sex, age, educational attainment and economic status. However, no correlation exists between religion and marital status and either of the relational outcomes.Keywords: Causal Variables, Marketing Outcome, Industry Analysis

Each department is following the mandate of University and the Commission on Higher education. Based from the observation of the industries and hospitals, Job Exposition should be a pre-requisite for graduation activities for this will help them in preparation for future employment. Also they believe that there should be an evaluation instrument to improve the University practices on Job Exposition. The differences of the three groups of respondents affirm that the effectiveness of any industry linkages whether allied or non-allied is influence by the exposures of students on seminars and related learning experiences. It could be possible that the students will perform well in their respective OJT training based on their acquired knowledge, and hands on training provided by university. Both students and non-allied faculty assessed that there are problems on OJT that needs to be addressed by each college although it is not so serious. There should be plan of action to lessen student’s difficulties specifically in areas of work-related practicum sites and Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). Industries expected of their responsibility in strengthening the academe industry linkage in terms of signing Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). They also expect Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas to provide orientation before the on-the-job training and to increase the number of OJT hours. Further, continuous programs on the Job Exposition activities are highly expected by industries.The following are hereby recommended: Academic Deans need to look for more companies which will sign Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on OJT. The Alumni office and the LINK office have to collaborate in the pre-employment and post employment seminars for graduating and alumni of the university. The University has to provide additional budget for pre-employment activities of the school in order to address the problem on the students’ perceived expenses on certificates and speaker’s honoraria. Each college need to evaluate the hours spent on On-the-Job Training and Related Learning Experience for possible increase in the number of hours.Keywords: Academe, Industry, Business Administration, Internship

Considering that school-related factors and skills development were identified areas which must be given priority attention towards improved service of the College of Accountancy, the said concerns may be addressed by intensifying faculty development program and by taking steps in improving the school-related factors — student services, service facilities and the school’s organization and administration through the initiative of the College of Accountancy.Keywords: Employment Status, Filipino Migrants, College Education

Socio-Economic Employment Status of Filipino Migrants in Australia: Implications to Philippines College Education, International Association of Multidisciplinary Research Journal, 1 (1): 34-47 - A Marketing Task Analysis for the Lyceum of the Philippines-Batangas: Basis for the Development of a Strategic Marketing Plan By: Mr. Elbert Bryan Vidal (2008)The past five years have experienced rapid changes in the education industry in the Batangas region. This is especially true in the case of higher education institutions. In a span of three years, the demand for nursing education has boomed, with LP- Batangas leading the pact in providing BS Nursing to the masses. After a few years, this trend has now shifted to courses in international hospitality management. Now, the Batangas region is experiencing the growth of small higher education institutions which specialize in a particular field.Perhaps, the most dramatic change that this present generation is experiencing is the ever growing competition among the higher education institutions in the region. This is evident in their marketing initiatives, especially in their extensive use of advertising and promotional efforts.The present research has particular interest in this phenomenon. However, instead of studying how incumbent colleges and universities compete, the researcher studied the internal and competitive environment where the LP- Batangas operates, with the end in view of finding out what possible strategic initiatives may be undertaken by the institution to secure its position in the market as a premiere higher education institution in the service area.The procedure of research is called the Marketing Task Analysis, which is sometimes referred to as a marketing audit. In the analysis, the researcher focused on the immediate internal (company) and immediate external environment of the LP- Batangas (customer and competition). Results revealed that in terms of the external environment, the student’s decision to choose a school to enrol into is driven both by the performance of the school and word of mouth and University of Batangas appears to be the direct competitor of the LP- Batangas. While, the internal analysis reveals that while LP- Batangas has a strong hold in its marketing strategy, organization, systems and productivity, the school has yet to secure for itself a viable unique selling proposition to its students.

- Performance of the LPU-Batangas in the Customs Brokers Licensure Examination (CBLE): An Assessment By: Dr. Arnold Ditan (2008)This study aimed to assess the performance of the Lyceum examinees in the following CBLE subjects namely: Tariff Laws and International Trade Agreements, Customs Laws and Implementing Rules and Regulations, Documentations, Professional Ethics, Customs Procedures and Practices, Warehousing and Cargo Handling Operations and Practical Computation of Customs Duties, Taxes and Other Charges and the percentage of passing of the customs administration examinees in the Customs Brokers Licensure Examination (CBLE) from 2002 – 2006. It also looked the trend of performance rating of the customs administration examinees that passed the customs brokers licensure examination and considered whether the actual performance met the projected CBLE performance as stated in the LB Development Plan. The factors that affect the performance of the customs administration examinees of Lyceum of Batangas such as personal and social traits, instructional competencies, curriculum, subjects (general education and professional subjects), student services, training/review centers, skills and work values were likewise studied. A plan of action was proposed based from the findings of the study.Research design was descriptive using documentary analysis and survey questionnaire as data gathering instruments. Data came from 100 graduates of BSCA who took the Customs Brokers Licensure Examination (CBLE) selected from a total population of 721 through random sampling from school year 2002 to 2006. Statistical tools used were percentage and weighted mean.The findings revealed that the performance of the examinees in Tariff Laws and International Trade Agreements, Customs Laws and Implementing Rules and Regulations, Documentations, Professional Ethics, Customs Procedures and Practices, Warehousing and Cargo Handling Operations; and Practical Computation of Customs Duties, Taxes and Other Charges from SY 2002 to 2006 was described as good with grade average ranging from 60 – 79 percent. Also, the percentage passing of examinees on the Customs Brokers Licensure Examination ranged from 15.17 percent to 26.83 percent. Moreover, there was no distinct trend on the percentage passing but noteworthy was that the institutional passing percent through the five years was much higher than the registered national percentage passing. It can be said that the Customs Administration program met the Lyceum of Batangas Development Plan reflected in the performance of the Customs Administration examinees. However, there is a need to be more clear on the expected percentage of passing to better measure the performance of the Customs Administration graduates. Also, there is a need to quantify targets which need to be accomplished so that the Lyceum of Batangas Customs Administration faculty and administrators have directions and goals.On the basis of the findings and conclusions, it is recommended that the proposed action plan be tried out to determine its usability and effectiveness, that a strong strategic management plan be prepared for the Customs Administration program to establish definite patterns on performance of Customs Administration graduates and that the results on subjects which revealed good performance and factors which were found to have impact to examinees’ performance be restudied so that students may be helped in the Customs Brokers Licensure Examination.Keywords: Customs Broker, Licensure Examination, Curriculum

Performance of the Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas in the Customs Brokers Licensure Examination [CBLE]: An Assessment, Lyceum Research Journal, 3: 109-118 - Job Requirements of Selected Industries in Batangas: Implications to the Pre-Employment Program of the CBAM, LB By: Dr. Galicano Del Mundo (2007)The study is all about job requirements of selected industries in Batangas and its implications to the pre-employment program of the College of Business Administration, Lyceum of the Philippines – Batangas. One of the major problems of college graduates is to land a job after graduation. Thus, it is important, especially for the LPU College of Business Administration to identify the job requirements of selected industries in Batangas like those in business firms, industrial establishments, service institutions and government entities. The respective executives were asked to identify the level of importance given to certain job requirements, criteria used in assessing the potentialities of applicants and problems met with employees.Results showed that the impressions that an applicant for a job creates has the edge over other applicants for the same position if he performs well in job requirements that would manifest perceived potentialities for high job performance. Perceived potentialities are developed of applicants who show good or high educational attainment, performed well in interviews, possesses high aptitude and inclination for the job. Basically, firms place a high premium on perceived potentialities. This seems to jive with the saying that first impression is lasting. Applicants who possess high level skills in interpersonal skills, human relations skills, and communication skills have higher chances for employment than those with lower degree of skills in those three areas. Attitude toward work is the most pressing problem that most managers encounter in human resource management. A career development intervention is likely to help students develop skills to become highly employable.Keywords: job requirements, industry, pre-employment, business administration

Viability of Micro-Financing of the CBAM toward Sustainable Development of its Community Extension Program, Lyceum Research Journal, 4: 146-153 - Intensifying the OJT Program of the College of Business Administration, Lyceum of Batangas By: Ylagan, A. P. (2013)The study is an assessment of the on-the-job training performance of business students of Lyceum of Batangas as basis for a proposed intensified OJT plan of activities. The study made use of the descriptive method of research since its intent is to describe the condition or situation arising at the time the study was conducted. The study involved 50 company supervisors who supervised the OJT or practicum students of the Lyceum College of Business Administration.Results showed that the company supervisors appraised the performance of the OJT students of the College of Business Administration as very good in personal behavior with composite mean value of 1.98. In like manner, the supervisors believed that the subject students projected positive attitude towards work and very good in performing their jobs obtaining mean values of 1.75 and 1.83, respectively. They know how important it is to adhere to company policies. They also exuded competence in their work as perceived from the assessment of company supervisors which obtained composite means of 1.72 and 2.07.The OJT students were grouped according to courses. The BS Customs Administration and BS Accountancy were found consistent top performers among the nine groups of subject students. Their performances were excellent in all aspects except in the area of competence which was rated very good.When the assessment of the company supervisors were compared according to areas of specialization of the OJT students, it was found out that the groups differed very significantly in their job performance based on the obtained F-value of 2.19 and probability value of 0.005. The same may be said of the OJT students’ adherence to company policies where it was found that there were significant differences on the company supervisor’s assessments which obtained F-value of 2.063 and probability value of 0.043. In both instances, the null hypothesis was rejected. As to the other items, the hypothesis that there are no significant differences in the assessment of company supervisors on the performance of OJT students when grouped according to areas of specialization was accepted.From the interview with OJT coordinators conducted by the researcher, they identified four minor problems in implementing the OJT program which were mostly administrative in nature. First among them was the difficulty in finding companies which can provide OJT students with proper exposure in the kind of work they would encounter after graduation. Second identified problem was the negative attitude toward the OJT program. Other problems met were monitoring of OJT students and the problems on finances.As to the problems of students in OJT, 67 or only 55.83 percent of them were asked to identify the problems they encountered during their OJT stint. According to the students, the most prominent problem they had was doing tasks not aligned with their areas of specialization which ranked first in the rank order distribution. Second problem as identified by 19 or 38.36 percent was the difficulty to relate with uncooperative employees of the companies they worked in. Other problems identified were lack of training allowance and stern supervisors which seemed unapproachable. These ranked 3rd, 4th and 5th among the frequency distribution of responses.Despite the high rating in evaluation, there is still a need to intensify the strengths of the program. Thus, a course of action is proposed from the identified problems that were gathered.Keywords: Internship, OJT, Business Administration, Job Performance

Ylagan, A. P. (2013). Intensifying the OJT Program of the College of Business Administration, Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas, E-International Scientific Research Journal, 5(1): 220-220 - Teaching Competencies and Attitude of Teachers Towards Accounting Board-Related Subjects in HEIs in Batangas City By: Mr. Chester Dhon Rosales (2007)It is a common belief that the quality of accounting graduates is directly attributable to accounting teachers because they hold the central forces within which all the teaching and learning activities resolved inside the classroom. Nonetheless, they may not be competent to teach and may not have favorable attitude towards the teaching of board-related accounting subjects. However, this speculation is not supported by scientific and objective evidence and it is for this reason that the researcher has been motivated to conduct this study.The competence of the accounting teachers of HEI’s in Batangas City as assessed by the accounting teachers and the students in relation to sub-variables given is said to be “often”. Items relative to each variable given is often done by the accounting teachers. There exists significant differences between the responses of the two groups, hence, the hypothesis that there is no significant differences exist is therefore rejected. The two groups assessed the teachers’ competence on different perspectives; that is for the teacher’s side, as expert professionals and for the students’ side, as individuals with eagerness to comprehend.The results revealing a general agreement by the respondents showed that the accounting teachers possess favourable attitudes toward teaching board related accounting subjects namely auditing, management advisory services, business law and taxation, and practical accounting. There exists no significant differences between the responses of the respondents of the two groups in auditing, business law and taxation, and practical accounting, however, with regards to management advisory services, significant difference exists hence the hypothesis on this is therefore rejected. Significant relationship exists between the teaching competencies of accounting teachers and their attitudes towards teaching board-related accounting subjects and so, the hypothesis that there is no significant relationship exists is therefore rejected. The teaching competencies of every accounting teacher are related to their attitude towards teaching board-related accounting subject. Their competencies affect how will they act, behave and teach inside the class.Keywords: Teaching Competency, Accounting, HEI
- Tracer Study of the BS Accountancy Graduates of LB: Basis for Curriculum Enrichment By: Dr. Maritess Dimayuga & Mrs. Josefina Lagman (2007)In view of this, the study entitled “Tracer Study of BS Accountancy Graduates of Lyceum of Batangas: Basis for Enhancement of Quality Service of the College of Accountancy” was conducted with an intention of identifying the whereabouts of the BSA graduates and determine if they were able to find a job relevant to their field. To gather pertinent data, the researchers employed descriptive method of research utilizing the questionnaire as its main source of data. Out of 102, 73 or 72% of the total respondents replied on the survey. Data gathered were tallied, tabulated and analyzed using statistical tools like percentage and weighted mean.Findings of the study revealed that majority of BSA graduates of Lyceum of Batangas from SY 2001 – 2005 are gainfully employed. They considered curriculum as school-related factor to be very useful and items such as faculty and instruction, student services, organization and administration and physical plant, facilities and laboratories as good, meaning that they are satisfied with the said factors provided by the school.In relation to skills developed by the institution, intellectual skills were portrayed very useful in meeting the demands of the graduates’ present work while communication and interpersonal skills as useful. While work values were appraised as “Very Much Useful” in relation to their present work.
Considering that school-related factors and skills development were identified areas which must be given priority attention towards improved service of the College of Accountancy, the said concerns may be addressed by intensifying faculty development program and by taking steps in improving the school-related factors — student services, service facilities and the school’s organization and administration through the initiative of the College of Accountancy. Keywords: Employment, Accountancy, Graduates - The Accounting Teachers of Batangas: Their Profile, Competencies & Problems By: Dr. Galicano Del Mundo & Mr. Rey Fernan Refozar (2006)The study focused on the assessment of the competency level among accounting teachers who are also a practicing public accountant in Batangas. Participants included 20 accounting teachers and 209 students coming from different high performing Universities with Accountancy program in Batangas City and Lipa City. The study made use of descriptive – correlational analysis.The study revealed that accounting teachers are qualified to handle subjects in the tertiary level. At their prime age, they are efficient in the use of instructional skills and management skills. They also possessed the human and technical skills necessary to be competent teachers and ensure competitive products (students). This result intensified Accounting teacher’s role in the academe not only as CPA practitioners on their field but also in educational institution. However, their problem identified in this study focused on student’s behavior and attitude on their studies. It is recommended in this study that since the good performance rating of accountancy students in board examination results in Batangas is a by product of their teachers and the university management; still there must be a strict policy in recruiting teachers to handle accountancy subjects. In order to address issue on non-exposure of teachers to education, that school management may encourage accountancy teachers to masters level and or enrolled in education units. A more intense study maybe done in other areas not covered by this research.Keywords: accounting teachers, profiles, competency
