...Problem Background The Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC-Iloilo) has released an alarming report which shows that consumers in Iloilo City located in Region VI - Western Visayas, in the Central Philippines, are charged with the most expensive electricity rates. Panay Electric Company, the city’s lone power distributor and services at least 53,000 households, commercial establishments and offices in this city. Moreover, the Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC-Iloilo) also revealed that Iloilo City is not only the highest in terms of electricity rates in the country, but surprisingly, also in the world. (Iloilo City has the most expensive electricity in the country, world, 2010) With this problem, there is already existing solutions. The “Renewable Energy Act of 2008” was established. It is an act promoting the development, utilization and commercialization of renewable energy (RE) resources. There are many viable reasons and premise to put this on consideration; one is to reduce the dependence of Philippines in fossil fuels. The aim is to invigorate the exploration of renewable energy such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and hybrid systems among others. We are encouraged to apply these systems as well as institutionalize in order to prevent harmful emissions, pollution, and global warming in the environment. The Act of 2008 allows us to establish infrastructures that will support the main purpose of the said goals. There are alternative renewable sources of energy available...

...(mango) A special problem presented to Ms. Eukene Oporto – Bensig In partial fulfillment in the requirements of Botany 10 Submitted by: Theresa Mae Toboso Ianne Clarise Ortiz Janine Bernice Bonghanoy Eullen Marie Cale Christian Bernard Serino March 2013 ABSTRACT The study aimed to find out the effectiveness of wood ashes in hastening the ripening of fruits specifically, mangoes and bananas. This study has eight set-ups with four as the control variable and the other as the experimental. The set-ups are as follows: Set-up 1 and 2 with one unripe mango in each and ashes; 3 and 4 with four pieces of banana in each with ashes; 5 and 6 with just one mango in each; and 7 and 8 with just four bananas in each. The ripeness of the fruits was defined by the color of its exocarp and its growth rate. Results show that the set-ups containing banana and ash ripened faster compared to the ones without ash and that there was no significant difference in all set-ups of the mangoes. The researchers concluded that wood ashes are effective in hastening the ripeness of banana but not mangoes. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The most essential elements for the production of fruit are nitrogen potash, phosphoric acid, and lime. Wood ashes contain potash, carbonate of lime and a small amount of phosphoric acid, which are plant foods. Potash a component of wood ash that constitutes a large portion of it is an essential constituent in the growth of fruits and is also associated with the...

...result on oversupply and low buying prices. It has been observed for almost 20 years that buyers from far Luzon come to Agusan to look for a supply of mangoes. So, farmers in Agusan Del Norte decided to venture into off-season production, which usually starts between the ends of April to May. The good thing about this off-season production is they can demand for the high price especially during lean months when mango supply is low and the demand is high. Although it’s a good strategy, shifting from regular to off-season production does not come easy. Farmers need financial capital for chemicals as well as available equipment, not only for taking advantage of favorable weather but also for meeting volume requirements from traders. Lack of financing becomes the major constraint of Agusan farmers into off-season production but through the help of DA-MRDP they provide financial assistance to the farmers to boosts the production of off-season mango. The used of sumpit(a manual spray) was now replaced by using power spray that enable to induce 15 trees per day. Off-season production has provided GMPA not just the best option to improve their income but also the opportunity to expand their market. Barangay Gosoon is now known as a producer of off-season mangoes. Summary Coconuts against Climate Change The Philippines has extensive coconut lands – about 3.2 million hectares. Currently, these lands are planted to least 325 million coconut fruit-bearing trees, which...

...Virginia de la Fuente, president of the Philippine Mango Industry Foundation, Inc. (PMIFI) which is collaborating with other agencies to stage the event. The first concern is the fast dwindling volume of mango production in the country. For instance, in 2007, the total production amounted to 1.028 billion kilos whereas in 2011 the volume had gone down to 778 million kilos. That’s a decrease of about 25 percent. Another concern to be addressed is the low farmgate prices due to the volatile demand from major fresh mango importing countries, mainly Hong Kong. One of the proposed strategies is to promote mango tourism. De la Fuente explained that fresh ripe mangoes can be best eaten where they are homegrown. So she said the industry leaders want to develop unique mango tourism-related projects that will attract more tourists spending more money in the Philippines, which could ultimately increase the farmgate prices of mango. ____________________ A mechanical engineer from Northern Samar who has piloted the village-level production of biomass ethanol from coco and nipa sap is pushing for the establishment of more coco ethanol production plants not only in Samar but in strategic coconut-producing areas in the Philippines.

...“Banana (Musa acuminato) peelings and Mango (Magnifera indica) peelings as an organic fertilizer for container plants” INTRODUCTION: Fertilizer is a substance used to promote plant growth. Natural or synthetic chemical substance or mixture used to enrich soil so as to promote plant growth. Plants do not require complex chemical compounds analogous to the vitamins and amino acids required for human nutrition, because plants are able to synthesize whatever compounds they need. It is mostly used in household gardens and farms around the world. It is useful in stimulating the plant growth so, it is most widely used. There are two types of fertilizers, the organic fertilizer and the inorganic fertilizer. They were both created to give off the same purpose; which is to stimulate a plant’s growth, but, there is a difference in their effects otherwise to Mother Nature. They are both made up of different compositions. Organic fertilizers are made of purely organic materials or chemicals while inorganic fertilizers are made up of the mixture of chemicals made by man and some chemicals which naturally come about from nature. Container plants are commonly found in households, one of the most frequently found container plant in households is the Palmera. It is an appropriate plant in testing the fertilizer. The banana (Musa Acuminata) and the mango’s (Magnifera indica) peelings both have chemicals composition (when rotten) that is as almost the same as the organic fertilizers...

...Region 1 or the Ilocos Region is composed of four provinces and a city—Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, and Dagupan City. Majority of the population verbalizes Ilocano, the third most astronomically immense verbalized language in the Philippines, albeit a consequential number additionally verbalize Pangasinense. The region has a coast and hilly ranges that are prone to typhoon in the wet months, but devastatingly sultry during the dry season. This is the backdrop of Ilocano food. It’s salty due to the proximity to the sea. There is even an entire province denominated after asin (salt) in Pangasinan. Fish is preserved by drying, and of course, reduced into a paste or sauce by fermentation. Vegetables are hardy and can weather the rains or extreme heat. Thus, you have dishes like pinakbet or dinengdeng—locally sourced vegetable, flavored with fish paste. Love basking on the sand? The coast provides a colorful array of it from the greyest of grey to the white beaches of Pagudpud. There’s even one beach that is just pristine pebble. Many of these beaches cater to tourists, like the surfing areas of San Juan in La Amalgamation. But take a while to get disoriented, and you’ll still find obnubilated gems in minute towns.

MIRAVALLES DONITA S. ESTRELLA KREANNE IRISH J. MILLANO ANGELA LEONOR M. MUTUC Researchers CLUSTER 1: APPLIED SCIENCE TEAM CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Economic crisis runs throughout different places in the world. The Global Economic Crisis pulled countries down from around the globe to a recession. Wide-ranging declines in many aspects of growth characterize the overall impact it had on the global scale. This is the main reason why people tend to lessen the spend of money. To reduce spending, households had to buy cheaper goods, for example, instead of buying branded clothes; people tend to buy more affordable clothes. People also tend to lessen the electricity and water consumption. Another way is using charcoals instead of Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG in preparing or cooking their food. Almost all of us are aware of Global warming. It is the unusual increase in the Earth's surface temperature since describe the beginning of the 20th century. Scientists believe that this is caused by some human activities like illegal logging, deforestation, burning of garbage, fumes of factories, and smoke from vehicles, improper deposal of garbage and regular using of insecticides. The greenhouse effect is a vital natural process that...
