14. • Consider academic advising inclusive of online means aside from the
usual offline mentoring/ advising
• Monitor problems encountered by students, those they considered
significant persons
• Connect with parents/ guardians semi annually
• Limit extra curricular activities that affect academics, instead
integrate them in classroom settings instead from separating from
academic activities
• Develop faculty and employees to use online mentoring/counseling to
monitor online activities of students using social media and electronic
means
• Create compensation plan that motivates faculty to perform
additional counseling/ advising in both online and offline means.

Editor's Notes
This research is exploratory. Data from various studies conducted from 2012 to 2014 on problems of academic delinquencies, pressures of work in school and home environment of respondents were evaluated in a descriptive survey using a questionnaire validated through comparative analysis from the responses made by faculty and students on causes of academic failure, dropping from midterm, and receiving low grades and incomplete marks. Furthermore, those identified students who received low grades, incomplete marks and dropped due to absences were purposely located to answer the questionnaire and utilized as major source of needs identification for the intended marketing PR communication plan by the corporate managers to be implemented to various internal publics.
