    A study on the sustainability of the Philippine social security system
    (2001-10) Abu, Kathrine Anne; Santos, Mary Joyce; Tan, Edita
    This paper aims to study the sustainability of the Philippine Social Security System (SSS) by looking at the factors which affect it. The sustainability of the SSS is satisfied when the fund balance is positive in the long run where FUND BALANCE = CONTRIBUTIONS +EARNINGS -BENEFITS- OPERATING EXPENSES. Factors affecting the fund balance are demography (i.e. ageing population and growth of membership), economic growth and its impact on employment and returns to investment, as well as members' income. This study shall focus on the demographic changes and investment management for the last 15 years and sustainability as projected for the next 10 years.

    Nakuha sa tingi: a TPB–UTAUT analysis of internal and external drivers of continued engagement among sari-sari store refill operators
    (2025-06-04) Parado, Dominique Louise A.; Valera, Frances Nicole A.; Balaoing-Pelkmans, Edylinda Anette O.
    The Philippines' reliance on single-use plastic sachets, particularly through sari-sari stores, has significantly contributed to the country's plastic waste challenges. In response, refill station programs have been introduced as sustainable retail alternatives; however, sustaining long-term engagement among micro-retailers remains a challenge. This study examines the internal and external factors influencing the ongoing participation in refill selling among sari-sari store owners involved in the RIPPLEx initiative in Marikina City. Guided by an integrated framework that combines the constructs of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and how they impact both the intention to continue and actual sustained use.
