Abstract:
The Muslim migration to predominantly Christian urban areas of Bacoor City rendered
some repercussions such as psychological, social, and educational impact on their
children who have to adjust to their new-found school often administered with less
sensitive policies and programs resulting in difficulties in their academic performance. The
study focused on the extent of the cultural integration of the 219 third-year Muslim
students from different high schools in Bacoor City in terms of lifestyle, social support,
family life, cultural cynicism, and academic performance. It was found out that the extent
of cultural integration in terms of lifestyle, social support, and family life is high. However,
cultural cynicism just resulted to average. The academic performance of the respondents
ranges from 85% to 89% described as very satisfactory. However, significant and negative
correlations were found between cultural integration and academic performance.
Regression weights confirming the predictive value of cultural cynicism to academic
performance were likewise noted. It was proposed that the Guidance Program offered to
Muslim students and other indigenous students be culturally sensitive.
