2019: Emphatic vowel length in Cebuano. Journal of Philippine Linguistics, 50, 18–32. [pdf].

2015: Extrinsic motivation factors in learning English as second language. Kaalam, 1, 35–53. [pdf].
This paper investigates the extrinsic motivation factors that drive students to learn English as a second language in the Philippines. It was found that although it might be helpful to promote intrinsic motivation among students, providing opportunities for some types of extrinsic motivation to develop may also help students thrive and succeed in learning ESL.
