The Higaonon Tribe, an indigenous community in the Philippines, is the custodian of a rich cultural heritage deeply rooted in their unique customs, traditions, beliefs, and practices. This ethnographic study was conducted to explore and document the cultural resources and preservation practices of the Higaonon Tribe, particularly in Simbalan, Buenavista, and Agusan del Norte. Through immersive fieldwork involving Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and interviews with key tribe members such as the Datu and Elders, the researchers gained insights into the tribe’s social organisation, religious rituals, traditional knowledge systems, material culture, and artistic expressions. The research documents the tribe’s significant cultural resources, including traditional crafts, oral literature, sacred rituals, and community dances. The findings reveal the tribe’s multifaceted efforts to preserve their cultural heritage through oral traditions, sustainable farming methods, ecological wisdom, and cultural revitalisation initiatives. These practices are not only crucial for maintaining the Higaonon Tribe’s cultural identity but also contribute to the promotion of sustainable living and environmental protection. The study underscores the urgent need to recognise, preserve, and celebrate the Higaonon Tribe’s cultural heritage. It recommends the inclusion of the Higaonon culture in the national educational curriculum and suggests that government programs be designed to promote cultural pride and the embracement of indigenous heritage. The broader implications of these findings extend beyond the Higaonon community, offering valuable insights for global cultural preservation efforts.

This study explores the relationship between students’ self-efficacy, social intelligence, and librarians’ competency in implementing bibliotherapy programs at Saint Michael College of Caraga. It aims to evaluate the potential of bibliotherapy to enhance students’ socio-emotional skills and assess librarians’ preparedness to support such initiatives. A descriptivecomparative research design was utilized, involving 343 students and five librarians selected through stratified random sampling. Validated survey instruments measured students’ self-efficacy and social intelligence, while librarians’ bibliotherapy competency was assessed using the Bibliotherapy Knowledge Survey. Findings revealed moderate levels of self-efficacy (mean = 3.05) and social intelligence (mean = 3.07) among students, with no significant gender differences (p = .250). However, significant variations were noted across different academic disciplines (p < .05). Librarians demonstrated limited competency in bibliotherapy (mean = 2.40), highlighting the need for further training and professional development. Implementing a structured bibliotherapy program could enhance students’ socio-emotional skills and improve librarians’ ability to facilitate these interventions. The study recommends a bibliotherapy program tailored to students’ academic needs and professional development for librarians. Future research should examine the long-term impact of such programs and the role of librarian training in their success.
