Guidance and counseling in the Philippines can be traced back to the early 20th century with the establishment of vocational guidance services in schools. The need for guidance grew during the post-World War II period when the government prioritized the development of human resources. Guidance counseling in the Philippines has evolved to address various issues such as career development, mental health, and personal well-being, with an emphasis on holistic development. Today, guidance and counseling services are integrated into the education system and play a crucial role in supporting the holistic growth and development of individuals.
