Responses of 'Carabao' Mango to Various Ripening Agents
Philippine Journal of Science 148 (3): 513-523, September 2019 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 08 Apr 2019 Responses of ‘Carabao’ Mango to Various Ripening Agents Angelyn T. Lacap1, Emma Ruth V. Bayogan1*, Leizel B. Secretaria1, Christine Diana S. Lubaton1, and Daryl C. Joyce2,3 1College of Science and Mathematics, University of the Philippines Mindanao, Mintal, Tugbok District, Davao City 8022 Philippines 2School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, The University of Queensland, Gatton, QLD 4343 Australia 3Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Ecosciences Precinct, Dutton Park, QLD 4102 Australia Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with moisture in the air to produce acetylene (C2H2) gas, an analog of ethylene (C2H4). Commercial sources of CaC2 may be contaminated with arsenic and phosphorous, which are also released during a chemical reaction. This constitutes a potentially serious health risk to ripeners and may contaminate the product. Although banned in many countries, CaC2 is still used in the Philippines because equally inexpensive and effective alternatives are lacking. This study investigated the relative efficacy of alternatives for ripening ‘Carabao’ mango. Fruit harvested at –1 107 d after flower induction were treated with CaC2 (2.5, 5.0, or 7.5 g kg ); ethephon (500, 1000, or 1500 μL L–1); Gliricidia sepium leaves (20% w/w); or ‘Cardava’ banana fruit (10% w/w) for 72 h. Mangoes were then held under ambient room conditions [29.9 ± 3.1°C, 77.74 ± 2.9% relative humidity (RH)] for 7 d. Assessments of peel color, firmness, and total soluble solids showed that fruit treated with higher concentrations of ethephon (1000 or 1500 μL L–1) exhibited similar ripening –1 responses as those treated with CaC2. -

Axis Relationships in the Philippines – When Traditional Subgrouping Falls Short1 R. David Zorc <[email protected]> AB
Axis Relationships in the Philippines – When Traditional Subgrouping Falls Short1 R. David Zorc <[email protected]> ABSTRACT Most scholars seem to agree that the Malayo-Polynesian expansion left Taiwan around 3,000 BCE and virtually raced south through the Philippines in less than one millenium. From southern Mindanao migrations went westward through Borneo and on to Indonesia, Malaysia, and upwards into the Asian continent (“Malayo”-), and some others went south through Sulawesi also going eastward across the Pacific (-“Polynesian”)2. If this is the case, the Philippine languages are the “left behinds” allowing at least two more millennia for multiple interlanguage contacts within the archipelago. After two proposed major extinctions: archipelago-wide and the Greater Central Philippines (Blust 2019), inter-island associations followed the ebb and flow of dominance, expansion, resettlement, and trade. Little wonder then that “unique” lexemes found on Palawan can appear on Mindoro or Panay; developments throughout the east (Mindanao, the Visayas, and southern Luzon) can appear in Central Luzon, and an unidentified language with the shift of Philippine *R > y had some influence on Palawan and Panay. As early as 1972, while writing up my dissertation (Zorc 1975, then 1977), I found INNOVATIONS that did not belong to any specific subgroup, but had crossed linguistic boundaries to form an “axis” [my term, but related to German “SPRACHBUND”, “NETWORK” (Milroy 1985), “LINKAGE” 3 (Ross 1988. Pawley & Ross 1995)]. Normally, INNOVATIONS should be indicative of subgrouping. However, they can arise in an environment where different language communities develop close trade or societal ties. The word bakál ‘buy’ replaces PAN *bəlih and *mayád ‘good’ replaces PMP *pia in an upper loop from the Western Visayas, through Ilonggo/Hiligaynon, Masbatenyo, Central Sorsoganon, and 1 I am deeply indebted to April Almarines, Drs. -

Philippine Carabao Mango Pest Identification Using Convolutional Neural Network
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 03, MARCH 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 Philippine Carabao Mango Pest Identification Using Convolutional Neural Network Antonio V. Rocha IV, Joe G. Lagarteja Abstract— The detection and management control of pests in mangoes if applied properly would result to a higher fruit production. Applying precision agriculture with the use of modern technology helps mango farmers detect and identify the different types of pests that are infesting their farms. This research study introduces a computer application development that can identify and determine mango pests based on the provided images using a smartphone. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a type of algorithm that was used to train stack of mango pest images which were pre-processed and used as a train model. Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the images were processed to determine the type of pests currently present on mango trees and provides the best control measure that the system would provide after detection. The neural network was designed using Keras to run on top of the deep learning framework TensorFlow. Datasets composed of 4,300 images were used for training and 800 were used to validate the CNN model. The model achieved a remarkable 88.75% accuracy rate in determining mango pests. GIS (Geographical Information Systems) was also utilized to determine affected areas in the region.

The AQUINO MANAGEMENT of the PRESIDENCY
The AQUINO MANAGEMENT Of The PRESIDENCY \ ONE WITH HER PEOPLE Published by the Presidential Management Staff Office of the President Manila, Philippines June 1992 “The politics of the present and the future is a people politics, just like the character of the revolution that brought us all here was people powered. In the same manner, the full recovery of this country and the fulfillment of this potential must be an affair of the people, and for the people. There is no other way.” President Corazon C. Aquino Magtanong Sa Pangulo September 16,1988 2 _________________________ INTRODUCTION KEEPING IN TOUCH with her people was an activity that President Aquino relentlessly pursued. To her, it was not a job; it was a source of joy, inspiration, and wisdom. One of the activities which kept President Aquino in constant touch with the people was her trips to the barrios. To those who had been used to the grandiose schemes of the past regime, President Aquino’s trips were non-events. But these regular visits assumed an informal and festive air as she talked with the rural folk. Here, without the trappings of protocol and critical eyes, President Aquino became animated and relaxed. She literally sat down with the common tao and with the local leaders – from the lowliest kagawad to the most charismatic provincial governor. To the President, this open link energized her government. Where others relied and flaunted surveys, President Aquino’s most accurate and most dependable gauge on the public pulse were her frequent one-on-one with the people from the countryside. -

Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Filipino culture was founded through the amalgamation of many ethnic and cultural influences, such as centuries of Spanish colonization and the immigration of surrounding Asiatic groups as well as the long nineteenth century’s Race of Nations. However, the events of 1898 to 1914 brought a sense of national unity throughout the seven thousand islands that made the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine-American War followed by United States occupation, with the massive domestic support on the ideals of Manifest Destiny, introduced the notion of distinct racial ethnicities and cemented the birth of one national Philippine identity. The exploration on the Philippine American War and United States occupation resulted in distinguishing the three different analyses of identity each influenced by events from 1898 to 1914: 1) The identity of Filipinos through the eyes of U.S., an orientalist study of the “us” versus “them” heavily influenced by U.S. -

Teaching and Learning an Endangered Austronesian Language in Taiwan
9 Teaching and Learning an Endangered Austronesian Language in Taiwan D. Victoria Rau°, Hui-Huan Ann Chang°, Yin-Sheng Tai°, Zhen-Yi Yang°, Yi-Hui Lin°, Chia-Chi Yang°, and Maa-Neu Dong† °Providence University, Taiwan †National Museum of Natural Science This paper provides a case study of the process of endangered language acquisition, which has not been well studied from the viewpoint of applied linguistics. It describes the con- text of teaching Chinese adult learners in Taiwan an endangered indigenous language, the teachers’ pedagogical approaches, the phonological and syntactic acquisition processes the learners were undergoing, and applications to other language documentation and revitaliza- tion programs. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to address the research questions.This study demonstrates cogently that language is a complex adaptive system. In phonological acquisition, the trill was the most difficult phoneme to learn. Systematic variations for the variables (ŋ) and (s) were found to be constrained by both markedness and interference. Furthermore, learners also tended to interpret Yami orthography based on their knowledge of English. In word order acquisition, learners performed much better than expected, partially because the present tense, coded by the SV word order, is the norm in Yami conversations. However, students still inaccurately associated word order with sen- tence type rather than with tense distinction. The Yami case provides an integrated model for endangered language documentation, revitalization and pedagogical research, which would be of interest to people working with other languages and the language documenta- tion field in general. 1. INTRODUCTION. There are several different approaches to the categorization of language endangerment. -

I’d like to especially acknowledge my consultants, the late 田信德 (Tian Xin-de), 朱玉茹 (Zhu Yu-ru), 戴秋貴 (Dai Qiu-gui), and 林玉 夏 (Lin Yu-xia). Their dedication and passion for the language have been an endless source of inspiration to me. Pastor Dai and Ms. Lin also provided me with what I can call home away from home, and treated me like family. I am hugely indebted to my committee members. I would like to express special thanks to my two co-chairs and mentors, Dr. Robert Blust and Dr. Yuko Otsuka. Dr. Blust encouraged me to apply for the PhD program, when I was ready to leave academia after receiving my Master’s degree. If it wasn’t for the gentle push from such a prominent figure in the field, I would never have seen the potential in myself. -
