Environmental Research Methods Journal of Nature Studies 10 (2): 71-85 ISSN: 1655-3179 IDENTIFICATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERSPECTIVES and INFLUENCES of the 6th GRADE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS of the PUBLIC SCHOOLS of BALANGA CITY, BATAAN Chona Camille E. Vince Cruz Lecturer - Biology Department De La Salle University Manila, 2401 Taft Avenue, 1004 Manila, Philippines Email: [email protected] Abstract - Two color morphs of the rice bug, Leptocorisa oratorius (Fabricius), exist in local populations in Northern Mindanao, Philippines – one with distinct ventrolateral abdominal spots and the other without. A complete understanding of the biology of these color morphs is necessary in the formulation of management strategies against this rice pest. Thus, this study was conducted to determine differences in the shape of the head capsule between sexes and between the two color morphs of rice bugs collected from three sites. Images of the head capsule were digitized using the TPS series producing seventy Cartesian coordinates which were then analyzed using Relative Warp Analysis. Relative warp scores were subjected to Canonical Variate Analysis (CVA) and Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA). Results showed significant differences in the shapes of the head capsule between sexes and among color morphs, which are consistent among the three populations of rice bug from Pinuyak in Lala, Sta. Elena, Steeltown in Iligan City, and Maigo, Lanao del Norte. Observed variations might have resulted from adaptation to environment that amplify their fitness to the host plant. The results of the research warrant further studies into the species status of the two color morphs of rice bugs from Northern Mindanao. Likewise, a complete understanding of the biological basis of the observed differences is necessary for the effective management of this species.

No. (63-2) 743-8438 Email: [email protected] Final Destination Towards the end of 2011, Northern Mindanao suffered massive flooding that caused more than a thousand people dead and leaving several thousands more homeless. Some people are made to believe that this is another sign that the end of the world will come this year. December 21, 2012 is a date that is well known globally. Several hundred years ago, the Ancient Mayans predicted the apocalypse on this date. With their 5,125 year old calendar resetting itself to 0.0.0.0 on this date, many are preparing for the worst. However, the legitimacy of this Mayan prophesy is deemed questionable. Are we really in for our final destination? That is also the question that emerged from the Department of Health officials at the start of the New Year. On the first working day, three Department Personnel Orders (DPOs) were issued to everyone's surprise, including those affected.

Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs 3/2016: 111–137 The Spectacle of Violence in Duterte’s “War on Drugs” Danilo Andres Reyes Abstract: This article argues that, in Duterte’s “war on drugs”, state power is exercised through the body in a spectacle of humiliation and violence. The analysis draws from the work of Foucault (1979) on the political value of a spectacle of the body to explain the distinctive character of Duterte’s violent war on drugs; of Feldman (1991) on the use of the body as an object in which violence is embodied to send political messages; of Agamben (1995) on eliminating life supposedly devoid of value; and on Mumford et al.

Rowling. Many of Haiti's orphanages use deception to recruit children from unknowing and impoverished parents - a form of trafficking - and use those children to attract donations, said the report released on Thursday by the London-based charity Lumos. http://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/06/23/17/haiti-orphanages-hotspot-of-child-trafficking-abuse-says-charity 1/10 6/26/2017 Haiti orphanages hotspot of child trafficking, abuse, says charity | ABS-CBN News Donors, mostly from the United States and faith-based organisations, give $70 million a year to one-third of Haiti's 750 orphanages, it said.
