The researchers employed a quantitative descriptive method approach. Moreover, correlation analysis was used to assess the strength and direction of the relationship between financial literacy and loan repayment practices. Also, regression analysis was used to determine the degree of influence between the two variables. The results revealed that the borrowers' level of financial literacy is high which contributes to sound decision-making. Meanwhile, the study also found that the following indicators: loan characteristics, credit risk management, and credit history highly influence the level of loan repayment practices of the borrowers. Favorable loan characteristics, good credit management, and credit history result in excellent repaying performance. Thus, the two variables have a significant relationship. However the regression results also found that the degree of financial literacy has a low influence on the loan repayment of the Grains Multi-Purpose Cooperative borrowers.

Utilizing a sequential explanatory design, 30 respondents were randomly selected via simple random sampling and given a translation proficiency test. By using total population sampling, their outputs were analyzed through content analysis. The quantitative results revealed the mean score of 48.9% with a "D" distinction and a "Third" remark, reflecting qualities of being novice to beginners in translation and difficulties in achieving equivalency. Qualitative data highlighted the prevalence of errors, specifically in third-person pronouns' usage, vocabulary, punctuations, pragmatics, lexical-semantics, spellings, capitalization, prepositional usage, spacing, pluralization, and subject-verb agreement. The overall translation score (48.9%) supported with detail analysis of specific error patterns in mechanics, grammar and syntax, semantics, and pragmatics highlights significant gaps in students' English language skills.
