Caring at a Cost: Exploring Compassion Fatigue, Emotional Labor, and Well-Being Among Filipino Teachers
Abstract
Teaching is an emotionally demanding profession, especially in the Philippines, where public school teachers must manage large class sizes, limited resources, and extensive administrative duties. This chapter explores emotional labor in teaching, emphasizing how Filipino educators navigate their emotions through surface and deep acting strategies. It also examines compassion fatigue, which results from prolonged exposure to students' struggles, leading to emotional exhaustion and reduced empathy. Teachers in low-income communities or those working with students with disabilities are particularly at risk. The chapter highlights significant factors contributing to compassion fatigue and proposes evidence-based interventions, such as mindfulness programs, peer support groups, and institutional reforms. Addressing emotional labor and compassion fatigue is essential for maintaining teacher well-being and enhancing the quality of education in the Philippines.
