Other than the teaching profession, the corporate world is in a place where people are competent and qualified like teachers but well-remunerated. Teachers do not experience the same set up, not even at SDCA. The descriptive-correlational design was used, and data were gathered from the 435 respondents consisted of the Deans, Program Chairpersons, Teachers, and Students using an adapted questionnaire survey from the Education International Research Institute (2015) based in Brussels, Belgium. The simple random sampling was utilized to determine the sample size of the student-respondents, while the rest of the respondent-groups had population size. A T-test of significant difference was used between two groups or two points in time means that there is a measurable difference between the groups and that, statistically, the probability of obtaining that difference is very small. The Allport's Three Level Traits Theory provided the theoretical framework for this study. The findings of the study revealed that the occupational status and professional image of Dominican Teachers were average, as perceived by the four-group of respondents, while, characters Traits were high. They have possessed the cardinal traits as quintessential persona reflective of the theory of Dr. Gordon Williard Allport of Harvard University in a ASEAN-oriented college following "the quality assurance processes that underpin the ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework; foster the use of quality assurance frameworks as a benchmark; and to enable support for lifelong learning " (AQRFGS, 2014). Hence, there is no significant difference between the perceptions of Teachers, and Deans; Teachers and Program Chairs, except on the perceptions of Teachers vis-à-vis with the students on the occupational status and professional image of teachers. Finally, it appears that the perceptions of the four-respondent group differed, but the data supported a novel idea that the disagreement is a way of presenting a new outlook for the teachers. What teachers of SDCA should be, rather than what are they or who are they, though majority of the respondents expressed not statistically significant. It can be further deduced that while teachers considered their occupational status and professional image as "average" the students perceived it the opposite way.
