    COOPERATIVES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY GOING THE EXTRA MILE TO SERVE THEIR MEMBERS AND COMMUNITIES AMIDST COVID-19 PANDEMIC: REPORTS FROM REGION 10 #CoopAgainstCOVID19 Region 10 Cooperatives Countervail COVID-19 Challenge CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The challenge of facing life with CoViD-19 continues. But this emergency revealed one thing: the power of cooperation exhibited by cooperatives proved equal if not stronger than the CoVID-19 virus. Cooperatives continued to show their compassion not just to ease the burden of fear of contracting the deadly and unseen virus, but also to ease the burden of hunger and thirst, and the burden of poverty and lack of daily sustenance. In Lanao del Norte, cooperatives continued to show their support by giving a second round of assistance through the Iligan City Cooperative Development Council (ICCDC), where they distributed food packs and relief goods to micro cooperatives namely: Lambaguhon Barinaut MPC of Brgy. San Roque, BS Modla MPC, and Women Survivors Marketing Cooperative. All of these cooperatives are from Iligan City. In the Province of Misamis Oriental, the spirit of cooperativism continues to shine through amidst this pandemic. The Fresh Fruit Homemakers Consumer Cooperative in Mahayahay, Medina, Misamis Oriental extended help by distributing relief food packages to their members and community. The First Jasaan Multi-Purpose Cooperative provided food assistance and distributed grocery items to different families affected by Covid 19 in Solana, Jasaan, Misamis Oriental. Meanwhile, the Misamis Oriental PNP Employees Multi- Purpose Cooperative initiated a gift-giving program to the poor families of San Martin, Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. Finally, the Mambajao Central School Teachers and Employees Cooperative (MACESTECO) in Mambajao, Camiguin distributed rice packs and relief items to their community.

Judith B. Felisilda, Shaira Julienne C. Asequia, Jhane Rose P. Encarguez, and Van Ryan Kristopher R. Galarpe* Department of Environmental Science and Technology, College of Science and Mathematics, University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: March 9, 2018; Accepted: June 18, 2018 ABSTRACT Dumping of solid waste and unstable coastal water quality has become a rising issue in the Philippines coastal zones. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate two coastal municipalities’ (Opol and Jasaan) perception towards coastal waters (CW) and solid waste management (SWM) along Macajalar bay, Philippines. Sociodemographic indicators of the 180 residents and how this influenced their level of knowledge-awareness-practices (KAP) towards CW and SWM were determined using modified survey questionnaire. Purposive sampling was employed to communities residing adjacent to coastal waters. Both quantitative (One-Way ANOVA and T-test for unequal variances at α-0.05) and qualitative analyses were utilized to extrapolate conclusions. Present findings revealed varying sociodemographic indicators influencing KAP. Opol coastal residents level of knowledge and practices were influenced by gender (K:p-0.0314; P:p- 0.0155) and age (p- 0.0404), whereas level of awareness was influenced by age (p- 0.0160), length of residency (p- 0.0029), and educational attainment (p-0.0089).

  • The Archaeology of Karaang Jasaan
    Vol. XXXVII 1 ARTICLES The Archaeology Of Karaang Jasaan Leee Anthony M Neri, Andrea Malaya Ragragio, Maria Elena Wright, Agnes Paulita R Roa, Armand Salvador B Mijares, Thea Kersti Tandog Abstract The University of the Philippines – Archaeological Studies Program (UP- ASP) conducted an archaeological survey along the coast of Misamis Oriental in 2007 and 2008. Forty-one archaeological sites have been identified and reported to the National Museum of the Philippines. One of these historical sites identified was in Karaang Jasaan, Sitio Cota, Barangay Aplaya, Municipality of Jasaan. The Karaang Jasaan Site is a Spanish Complex. Local people believed that the said complex was composed of an old church with a hexagonal belfry, municipal hall, and a cemetery. In 2010, an extensive archaeological excavation and historical research were conducted at the said site. Reconstruction of the site complex was based on the evidence of archaeological excavations and material culture. The Karaang Jasaan Site has a single nave with one main entrance and two subsidiary entrances at the lateral side of the church. It has a hexagonal belfry and a rectangular courtyard. Further from the courtyard was a 2-story convent used by the parish priest. The Karaang Jasaan Site was the original settlement of the people of Jasaan before they were transferred to the present location by the Jesuits ca. 19th century CE. Based on 2 The Archaeology of Karaang Jasaan Archaeological data and archival research, the site may have been inhabited as early as 18th century until the 20th century CE. The municipality of Jasaan is one of the important Spanish historical sites found along the coast of Misamis Oriental.

  • A Report on the Archaeological Survey Along the Coastal Area of Misamis Oriental, Philippines1
    A Report on the Archaeological Survey Along the Coastal Area of Misamis Oriental, Philippines1 Leee M. Neri2 Abstract This article is the result of the initial archaeological reconnaissance conducted along the coast of Misamis Oriental in the island of Mindanao, Philippines. The team was able to identify possible archaeological sites based on the presence of artefacts and stone ruins. Based on the conventional and prevailing way of archaeological identification in the Philippines, these identified sites are classified as open sites, cave sites, and historical sites. Foreign ceramics were used to establish the relative dates of the archaeological sites in the different municipalities in Misamis Oriental. Forty-one archaeological sites were identified along the coast of Misamis Oriental: 25 open sites, 12 historical sites, and 4 cave sites. This initial archaeological investigation will help generate information on the history of the area and may serve as significant reference for future archaeological research in Mindanao.
