Two studies in the September 2024 issue of the Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives consider how to assess qualities that matter in professional practice. One compares the perspectives and practices of accomplished teachers in Chile’s Biobío region with national teaching criteria. The other presents the development and initial validation of a scale for malasakit, examining how empathy and compassion are expressed in Philippine health care.

Other articles draw on students’ written feedback to study teaching and examine how unreliable internet access complicates academic work and collaboration. Interviews with male LGBTQIA+ faculty members bring attention to the everyday acts of recognition and respect that can help people feel included at work.

The issue also examines how local governments in Negros Oriental responded to COVID-19, how children in conflict with the law experienced rehabilitation and reintegration in General Santos City, and how retailers in Legazpi City adopted cashless payments.

We thank the authors for sharing their research and the reviewers and editorial team for bringing this issue to publication.
