Rooting Performance of Molave (Vitexparviflora juss) Cutting Planted with Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) at Different Concentrations
No full textThe molave tree is known in the Philippines for its dense durable wood which are used widely in making boats, furniture, utensils, and as constructional materials. This study was conducted in the rooting chamber of the Clonal Nursery Complex of the GSC Baterna Campus, San Lorenzo, Guimaras to determine the rooting performance of molave cuttings as affected with the different concentrations of IBA hormone: number of roots, length of roots, number of new leaves, length of new leaves, and percentage of cuttings ready for potting and determine the significant difference of the different levels of IBA as a rooting hormone to the cloned molave. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used in this study. The following treatments were used in the study: treatment A–No hormone (Control), treatment B–100 ppm with talcum powder, treatment C–300 ppm with talcum powder, treatment D–500 ppm with talcum powder and treatment E–500 ppm/No talcum powder. For the number of roots, only cuttings in Treatment E (500 ppm/no talcum) have rooted and with a mean of 1.3 and 20.3 in length. The highest number of new leaves was attained by Treatment E (500 ppm/no talcum powder) with a mean of 4.3. For the length of new leaves, the longest was Treatment C (300 ppm with talcum powder) has a mean of 20.3 cm. For the number of cuttings ready for potting after 21 days inside the rooting chamber, the highest mean was obtained by Treatment E (500 ppm/no talcum powder) is 73.3%.

Economic Efficiency of the Broiler at Different Herbal Water Supplement
No full textThis study was conducted to determine the effect of different herbal extracts as water supplement on the growth and economic characteristics of broilers. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used with four (4) treatments and one (1) control and replicated three (3) times. The treatments that were used in the study was the following: Control-no herbal extract supplement; Treatment A-10% Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citrullus); Treatment B-10% Gotu kola (Centenella asiatica); Treatment C-10% Oregano (Origanum vulgare); and Treatment D-10% Horseradish tree (Moringa oleifera). The analysis shows a significant difference between the final weight and weight gain of broiler at different treatments, wherein treatment D showed the most significant effect followed by treatment C and treatment B while treatment A and control shows the same treatment effect. The supplementation of Horseradish tree extracts into the water commensurate a better growth performance of broiler. Also, in terms of feed conversion efficiency, treatment D shows the best feeding efficiency compare to other treatments while control, treatment A and B show the least feeding efficiency and shows lower efficiency compare to treatment C. There is a significant effect of supplementing Horseradish tree extract at 10% level of solution to the growth performance and feeding efficiency of broiler. The water supplementation of Horseradish extract was economically efficient, which commensurate the highest income among other herbal extracts and those with no supplementation.

This study aimed to determine the teaching styles of the forty five (45) graduate school professors and the academic performance of their students at Guimaras State College, Guimaras, Philippines for the Academic Year 2016-2017. They were classified according to categories of variables such as nature of employment, age, sex, civil status, length of teaching experience, educational attainment, and subjects taught. The descriptive method was utilized in this study. The questionnaire on the teaching style was patterned from Grasha and Riechman (1996) which was used to gather data from the respondents. The final grades of the students were used to determine their academic performance. The majority of the graduate school professors were old, dominated by males, most were married, have short teaching experienced, attained a doctoral degree, and taught professional subjects. Most of the graduate school students employed an expert teaching style. The academic performance of graduate school students was described as exceptionally good. Furthermore, no significant relationship existed between the teaching style of graduate school professors and their student’s academic performance. It is recommended that the graduate school professors must know the different teaching styles to make proper adjustments as to what teaching strategies they can apply in the classroom
Traditional Knowledge System of Water and Costal Environment for Cultural Resiliency and Sustainable Development in Guimaras
No full textTraditional Knowledge System is vital in maintaining stability in the physical, socioeconomic and cultural ecosystem. They provide backgrounds in the operation of human interaction and adaptation to the environment, especially for resources sustainability. This study was conducted to identify water bodies, the traditional method of catching fish and other marines/water resources, its preservation, fishlore, and other practices which have kept the sustainability of the water resources in Guimaras Island. The research design used was qualitative. Most of the fishermen learned from their fathers and grandfathers that the Island is rich with unique features and habituated by equally important organisms. The water bodies surround and within Guimaras, the Panay Gulf (facing Suba Malawig), Visayan Sea, and Guimaras Strait (area of Siete Picados), with major river system Mantangingi, Sibunag, and Cabano. In these fishing grounds locals use baroto “boat” for fishing and traveling, traditional fishing methods of catching fish and other water resources were “ Pangurantayan” used to catch “tabagak” (anchovy), “Pamanggal” used to catch crab, fish and shrimp using circular hand-woven bamboo, “Pang-agihis” method of catching freshwater shell (agihis), “Panangub” method of catching freshwater shrimp, crab “alimango”, and “Pamunit” method of catching fish using “bunit” (Hook) that proved to be sustainable, used by the locals to acquire aquatic resources from the shore down to the sea. Other marines and water resources available were Dugong “sea cows”, Banagan “Lobster”, Lumba-Lumba “Irrawaddy Dolphin”, Pawikan “marine turtles” and Pulang Pasayan “red shrimp” which is believed to be enchanted. A traditional way of fish preservation was common practice in the island known as pamulad “sun drying” to form uga “dried fish” and steamed cooking techniques for crabs. Folklore and beliefs were associated with the sea and other resources were feared species, and precautionary measures like panuob “fumigation ritual” and other fishing rituals are performed for bounty catch before fishing. Some practices related to water and coastal environment of Guimaras Island are tultul-making, the process of producing a solid rock salt tablet, seaweed farming, and salt making. The collection of traditional knowledge of water and coastal environment in Guimaras Island are integral among the locals which have been learned from personal experiences of the elders and handed down to succeeding generation through knowledge transfer which ensure the perpetuation of the resources.

Calamansi or calamondin (Citrofortunella microcarpa) is one of the focus commodity of the Municipality of Buenavista, Guimaras. This had been a promising industry that had greatly improved the quality of life of the Buenavistahanons. However, with due to various constraints, this industry weakened for several years. The industry is still hoped to bring quality life to the calamansi farming community. Hence, this study was conducted municipal-wide to determine the latest status of the industry last November-December 2017. This aims to determine the profile and production practices of calamansi growers, economic efficiency of calamansi industry and the problems met and production constraints met by the calamansi growers. Majority of the respondents were already senior citizens with ages ranging from 60 years old and above. They were mostly male, married and generally have 2 children. Most of them were high school graduates. Their top three occupations noted were farmer, housewife, and laborer. The largest numbers of calamansi farms were located at Barangay San Nicolas. The largest numbers of respondents were into calamansi farming operations for 6 to 15 years but most of the respondents were not affiliated to any organization and were not able to attend any training or seminar. Almost all respondents sourced-out planting materials within the province. All respondents manually prepared their lands, propagate the calamansi plants through marcotting and planted seedlings on a manual basis. Fertilizer application is generally transitional, where farmers apply combinations of organic and commercial synthetic fertilizers. Majority of the respondents practiced conventional method in controlling or preventing pests and diseases. They generally raised calamansi under rainfed condition but some irrigate the farm with water sources from deep wells, streams or rivers. They generally harvested calamansi fruits on monthly basis or twice a month. Nearly all of the respondents practiced composting to manage residues in the farm. As to farm products, the majority of the respondents produce also rice, coconut, and banana. Other respondents also produce mango, papaya, and other native fruits. Majority of the respondents operated calamansi farms of less than 1 ha that were generally owned by the respondents. A hectare of calamansi yielded generally yielded 101 to 500 kgs of calamansi fruits per hectare. The farm gate price of calamansi fruits during the study was generally PhP 16-25. Majority of the respondents noted that they spent PhP 1001 to PhP 5000 per hectare and they generally employed one (1) worker on the farm. Majority of the respondents depended on wholesaling when selling their products they also noted that marketed products were generally paid in cash. The respondents noted drought, propagation constraints, pest and disease management, stray grazing livestock and the significantly low farm gate price during peak season as the most important problems and production constraints in calamansi production
Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) on the Economic and Investment Promotion
No full textCitizen Satisfaction Index System is a tool used by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in gauging citizen satisfaction in different service areas, which can then be used for agenda-setting. The citizens, as the intended end-users of public services, are considered to be in a better position to determine whether or not these services are delivered accordingly to address their needs. This study aimed to determine the awareness, availment, and satisfaction of the Buenavistahanon on the Economic and Investment Promotion Program which was implemented in the Municipality of Buenavista, Guimaras from Fiscal Year 2015 to 2016. It used the mix qualitative and quantitative research method. The twenty three (23) selected barangays of Buenavista, Guimaras served as the areas of the survey. A standardized structured interview instrument developed by DILG was used to collect data. Results showed that the level of awareness of the citizens in the Municipality of Buenavista for the services offered by the local government on economic and investment promotion was low. Likewise, the level of availment is low. However, from those who availed of such services, the level of satisfaction is high. Despite a high satisfaction level, the citizens still recommended for a higher need of action. They felt that there still is something that needed to be done and improved on the services/programs being provided. Results also implied that the local government unit in Buenavista should focus on the information dissemination and improvement of services on the area. The results are good bases in devising tools for planning and development in the municipality
