This research study aimed to assess the level of cultural awareness among freshman college students regarding Philippine folk dances at Bohol Island State University-Calape Campus. The study explored the relationship between age, academic program enrolled, and cultural awareness using a Pearson Chi-square test. Data was collected from 186 respondents, and the results revealed a moderately aware level of cultural awareness (composite mean = 3.15). The findings showed a significant relationship between age and cultural awareness (Pearson Chi-square = 17.59, p = 0.001) and between program enrollment and cultural awareness (Pearson Chi-square = 57.01, p = 0.000). The study highlights the importance of understanding the factors that influence cultural awareness among college students, offering valuable insights for educational institutions and policymakers to develop targeted interventions that promote a deeper appreciation and understanding of Philippine folk dances and cultural heritage among the diverse student population. The findings contribute to the existing literature on cultural awareness and provide a basis for further research and initiatives aimed at preserving and promoting Philippine cultural heritage among college students.
