Production Practices of Poultry and Livestock Raisers in the Province of Guimaras
Full text linkThis study was focused on investigating the production practices of poultry and livestock farmers in the Province of Guimaras. Thus, this was further to assess the following variables; poultry and livestock operation profile, sources of animals, livestock pasture feed and feed supplements, water, poultry and livestock living conditions, health management, manure management, and marketing. The farmers raised livestock animals such as cattle, pigs, carabaos, and goats, while they have also raised native and layer chickens. Livestock farmers were backyard raisers using a tethering system of owned animals. They utilized pelleted commercial feeds, but those using locally mixed feeds use rice bran, corn, and copra as feed ingredients, wherein they feed their animals on schedule. They used crossed breed, using the natural method of herd mating, wherein they considered the breed in the selecting stocks. The farmers commonly practiced vaccination, deworming, and vitamin/antibiotic supplementation for the health management of their animals. They sold their animals live as wholesale and cash on delivery basis. The common problems encountered by the farmers are diseases, adverse climatic conditions, capitalization, and marketing. Radio and television are the major sources of information. Farmers are not organic practitioners, especially on the introduction of feeds.
Growth and Yield Performance of Upland Rice Varieties applied with Guimaras Bokashi at Different levels
Full text linkThe study was conducted in Sitio Progreso, Barangay Constancia, San Lorenzo, Guimaras from June to October 2019. The split-plot design with two (2) factors replicated three (3) times was used, wherein Mainplot served as the main plot bearing the upland rice varieties such as V1-black rice and V2-red rice, and Subplot as the subplot contains the levels of bokashi as the treatments applied such as A–Positive Control (Commercial Organic Fertilizer), B–5 tons of bokashi/ha, C–10 tons of bokashi/ha, D–15 tons of bokashi/ha, and E–Negative Control (Synthetic Fertilizer). Representative plant samples per treatment were taken for the data gathering using the following parameters: in growth performance are plant height (cm), number of tillers per plant, number of leaves, and for the yield performance are the number of panicles per tiller, number of grains per panicle, yield per treatment (kg), 1000 seed weight (g), and biomass (kg). As to the growth performance of Variety 1, there were significant differences in the no. of tillers and leaves, while Variety 2 was on plant height. On the yield performance, a significant effect was observed in the weight of 1000 seeds (grams) of Variety. There is a significant difference in the number of tillers applied with treatment C (10 tons of Bokashi/ ha). On the yield performance, treatment B (5 tons of Bokashi/ha) has a significant effect on the no. of panicle per tiller. Rice varieties and bokashi application interacted only on the number of tillers on the 30th day after transplanting, as supported by a significant difference.

Employment Status of GSC Graduates as Influenced by I-Plano mo Intervention as Personality Development Approach
Full text linkThe study was conducted to determine the employment status of GSC graduates as influenced by I-PLANO MO interventions as Personality Development Approach. Descriptive and eclectic research designs were used to describe the data gathered for the study. The gathered data for the demographic profile of the respondents were analyzed using frequency count and percentages. The respondents of the study were represented by the purposively selected grantees of the Expanded Students’ Grant-in-Aid Program (ESGP-PA) and their peers who were selected based on their academic performance. The academic performance was based on their general average for AY 2016-2017. The result of the study revealed that majority of the respondents were males, taking up Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and had a very good academic performance. In addition, all of the respondents need to join the job fair while most of them need training for personality development and career path planning. Moreover, an I-PLANO MO was designed by the college to address their needs. Furthermore, after one year of graduation, all of the respondents were hired but on a contractual or casual basis, with only 25 percent hired on the Local School Board by the Department of Education.
Growth of Cloned Dao (Dracontomelon Dao (L.) Blume) as Affected by Different Mixtures of Potting Media and Levels of Mycorrhizal Inoculant
Full text linkThis study was conducted inside the grown-out area of the Clonal Nursery Complex of the GSC Baterna Campus, San Lorenzo, Guimaras in January-February, 2019. This study aims to determine the growth of cloned dao seedlings as affected by different mixtures of potting media and evaluate the growth of cloned dao seedlings as affected by the different levels of mycorrhizal inoculant. A factorial experiment on a Completely Randomized Design (F-CRD) was used in this study. Factor A represented different mixtures of potting media: A1-Negative Control (Pure Garden Soil), A2- Positive Control (Pure Vermicompost), A3-50% garden soil + 50% vermin compost, and A4-75% garden soil + 25% vermicompost. Factor B represented the levels of mycorrhizal inoculant per pot: B1- Control, B2- 14 grams mycorrhiza/pot and B3-28 grams mycorrhizal/pot. There were twelve (12) treatment combinations replicated four (4) times, making a total of forty-eight (48) variates. Each variate had ten (10) cloned dao seedlings as experimental plants. The parameters used in this study were the following: plant height, number of leaves, length of leaves, width of leaves, number of branches, survival rate, and number of days to reach the plantable height (1 foot). Results show that the different mixtures of potting media and different levels of mycorrhizal inoculant have a highly significant effect on the growth of cloned dao seedlings in terms of plant height and number of days to reach the plantable height (1 foot). The researchers recommend using combination of 75% garden soil + 25% vermicompost with 28 grams mycorrhizal/pot which can hasten the number of days to reach the plantable height (1 foot) of dao seedlings.
Students\u27 Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (PCK) on Problem Solving Heuristics: Basis for Training Enhancement
No full textThis descriptive research aimed to determine the level of pedagogical and content knowledge (PCK) on problem-solving heuristics as the basis for training enhancement based on the least-learned competencies in problem-solving heuristics. The respondents were the preservice teachers who have taught mathematics subjects during their practice teaching school year 2018-2019. Purposive sampling was employed. The result showed that Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) math majors were low while the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) were very low knowledge on problem-solving heuristics. The most common strategy used by the preservice teachers in solving problems was the algebraic approach or using an equation, making an organized list, and drawing a diagram. In terms of PCK, the BSEd has low pedagogical knowledge, high content knowledge, and average pedagogical knowledge, while the BEEd has low pedagogical knowledge, average content knowledge, and low pedagogical content knowledge on problemsolving heuristics. This simply means that the BSEd and BEEd’s conceptual and procedural knowledge of problem-solving heuristics is at acceptable and below acceptable levels, respectively. As a whole, the pre-service teachers have low pedagogical content knowledge, average content knowledge, and low pedagogical content knowledge on problem-solving heuristics. This simply means that the BSEd and BEEd’s conceptual and procedural knowledge on solving problems are acceptable and below acceptable levels, respectively. As a whole, the pre-service teachers have low pedagogical knowledge, average content knowledge, and low pedagogical content knowledge on problem-solving heuristics. Knowledge of content and pedagogy has a significant role during the teaching and learning process. Thus, the pre-service teachers must have a deep mathematical understanding and adequate conceptual and procedural knowledge of the different problem-solving heuristics so that they can transmit this to their students when they are in the field.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) of Stakeholders in Sitio Lusay and Ave Maria Islet Marine Reserve and Sanctuary
No full textThis descriptive study was conducted to determine the Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) of the Coastal and Marine Eco-System Management Program (CMEMP) in Guimaras Province, particularly in Sitio Lusay and Ave Maria. It aimed to: (1) determine the knowledge of stakeholders on biodiversity, ecosystems, ocean and marine pollution, and climate change, attitude, and practices on marine protected area; and (2) identify the different communication channels that are being used/accessed by the stakeholders. The respondents of the study were the students/youth, household heads, local government unit key official, and teacher identified using simple random sampling. The statistical tools used were frequency, percentage distribution, and ranking. Results revealed that the respondents were aware and knowledgeable about biodiversity, ecosystems, ocean and marine pollution, and climate change. They have a positive attitude outlook on Marine Protected Area. Majority of them feel the need to protect the various ecosystems because it affects their source of livelihood. Unfortunately, most of them sometimes practice using tin cans and plastic waste but never practice throwing garbage anywhere, especially when they cannot see garbage bins nearby. Furthermore, they were likely to be informed concerning the country’s biodiversity through television.
Philippine Earthquake From 1980-2013: Fractal Analysis
No full textThis study aimed to determine the Philippine earthquake from 1980-2013. This study aimed to determine, identify, locate, and map the different earthquake-prone areas in the Philippines using fractal analysis. This study was conducted at Guimaras State College-Salvador Campus. All the gathered data were analyzed using the FrakOut Software and Statistical Package for Social Sciences for windows based on the information obtained from the internet through data mining. Results shows that from 2000 to 2013 the faults located in the Philippines become more active. The multi-fractal dimensions implies at least two operant fractal dimensions: one operating at a lower scale (from 0 to 0.10) and another at higher scales (higher than the scale of 0.10). Moreover, the spatial analysis revealed that there were 168 earthquakes occurred from the period of 1980-1999. Mostly, in the eastern part of the Philippine Archipelago. In the period of 2000- 2013, 151 earthquakes occurred showing more scattered and disarrayed lighter lines in the map. Fractal analysis of the earthquakes in the Philippines from 1980-2013 revealed that there was a tremendous escalation of earthquake incidences inside the places represented by the vertices of the triangles: Southeastern Mindanao, Northernmost part of Luzon, Eastern Samar, Romblon and Western part of Mindanao. It was noted that magnitude of an earthquake and its intensity was directly proportional to the damages caused by it and the depth of an earthquake has no significant relationship to the amount of damage. Further, the strongest earthquakes was recorded in Luzon last July 16, 1990 with the magnitude of 7.8 and intensity of X+.
Economic Status of the Mango Industry in the Province Guimaras
No full textIn the Philippines, mango ranks the third most important fruit croup based on export volume and value next to pineapple and banana. Majority of the mango traders were 38 years old to 47 years old, with 53.3%. Most of the mango traders were also female with, 56.7%. As to their civil status, most of them are married, with 80%. As to their educational attainment, most of them have undergone college, with 70%. As to their average monthly income, most of them have Php 20,001 to Php 45,000 monthly income, with 30%. As to their business capital, most of them have put up more than Php 30,000 for their business. Results revealed that (12 or 40%) of the respondents said that the supply of the mango industry in Guimaras is low and the demand is high, the supply is high and demand is low (8 or 26.7%), and both the demand and supply are low (7 or 23.3%). The factors that mostly affect the low supply and demand of the mango industry are bad weather/ continuous rainfall (25 or 83.3%), higher price of pesticides (21 or 70.0%), and off-season (20 or 66.7%). It is shown that (22 or 73.3%) believed that conducting lectures/seminars about mangoes, sponsoring mango plantations (18 or 60.0%), and exporting mango products (17 or 56.7%) are the best strategic options or interventions to improve the mango industry in Guimaras.
Traditional Knowledge System on Flora and Fauna on Mangrove Areas in Buenavista an San Lorenzo, Guimaras
No full textThe study aimed to document the traditional knowledge on mangrove areas of Buenavista and San Lorenzo, Province of Guimaras. Specifically, to determine and document flora and fauna of mangrove areas of the two municipalities (Buenavista and San Lorenzo) in the Province of Guimaras. Based on the result and findings of the study conducted, there were six (6) common mangrove or “bakhaw” species found in mangrove areas of the municipalities of Buenavista and San Lorenzo, namely: bongalon, pagatpat, bakhaw-babae, bakhaw-lalaki, bakhaw-bato, and apiapi. Community people living near the mangrove areas are conducting activities such as panghulip (replanting), panghampil (establishing rock barriers), and dapug (allowing the propagules to be rooted first, before planting). The “Bakhawan” or mangrove areas of Buenavista and San Lorenzo provided a natural environment of the following: bangi-bangi, dawat, halo-halo, suso, sihi, laway-laway, and sisi. However, the decrease in the number of trees affects their population. It provided the fisherfolks and other people in the community an extra income because people are doing “panginhas” (catching fishes and crustaceans) during low tide. The researcher recommended that the maintenance and preservation of flora and fauna of the mangrove area should be a collaborative effort of the barangay officials, people’s organizations and government agencies.
