Welcome to the first issue of Silliman Journal 2024! Six full-length articles across disciplines are featured in this issue.   It opens with a study whose results are aimed to be used for urban management, specifically on bird diversity, in Negros Occidental. Lance Querubin A. Mabugat, Anton Van J C. Catalan, Lara Lois D. Te, Karl Josh L. Collarin, John Dave R. Masiado, Wyeth G. Dogelio, Phillip Raymund R. De Oca, Philip Godfrey C. Jakosalem, and Lisa Marie J. Paguntalan examined the bird species composition, abundance, diversity, evenness, and dominance at Bacolod Panaad Park and Stadium, and Provincial Capitol Park and Lagoon, using the point transect method across seven stations in each identified locale.   It is followed  by Dave E. Marcial, Alfie Q. Arcelo, Jade O. Montemayor, Steven M. Binarao, and Markus A. Launer’s “Digital Trust and Personality Types among Employees in the Workplace,” which investigated the relationship between personality and digital trust, positing that trust is an important factor affecting individuals’ willingness to accept and incorporate technology use in their lives.   In the third article, Mark Anthony M. Quintos endeavored to examine the suicide prevention bills in the Philippines. By reviewing the bills filed in the Philippine Congress and comparing them with the provisions of R.A. 11036, Quintos is able to evaluate the sufficiency of the most recent passage of a law to deal with the suicide problem.   Continuing professional development is crucial to one’s professional practice since it helps update one’s knowledge and skills. This is especially true in the nursing profession. In their article, Freslyn Lim-Saco and Theresa A. Guino-o explored the CPD needs and barriers among nurses in Negros Oriental. In his paper, Kim G. Sarong investigated and identified the obstacles and challenges to achieving precision medicine in a small-scale local study. The qualitative research involved small group discussions, key informant interviews, and a review of secondary data. The last paper by Roem T. Tuparan and Warlito S. Caturay Jr. examined the academic essays of English major students at a state university in the Philippines. The major objective of their study was to identify language learners’ errors and their sources. The cover art is by visual artist and fashion designer  Dan Ryan Duran. "Laro ng Apoy" is a collaged painting referenced from a vintage photo of a woman and a volcano.     Warlito S. Caturay Jr. , PhD
