  • Pepper Anthracnose in the Philippines: Knowledge Review and Molecular Detection of Colletotrichum Acutatum Sensu Lato
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 16 July 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0355.v1 Pepper anthracnose in the Philippines: knowledge review and molecular detection of Colletotrichum acutatum sensu lato Mark Angelo Balendres* and Fe Dela Cueva Institute of Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines 4031 * Corresponding Author: M. A. Balendres ([email protected]) Abstract This paper reviews the current knowledge of pepper anthracnose in the Philippines. We present research outputs on pepper anthracnose from the last three years. Then, we present evidence of the widespread occurrence of C. acutatum sensu lato in the Philippines. Finally, we highlight some research prospects that would contribute towards developing an integrated anthracnose management program. Keywords: Colletotrichum truncatum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, chilli anthracnose, polymerase chain reaction assay, disease distribution I. Knowledge review of pepper anthracnose in the Philippines Pepper in the Philippines Pepper (Capsicum sp.) is an important vegetable crop in the family Solanaceae. It is mainly added as a spice or condiment in various dishes. In the Philippines, there is a demand for pepper in both the fresh and processing markets. However, it is a relatively small industry compared to other vegetable crops, e.g., tomato. The Cordillera and Northern Mindanao regions produce the most but, other areas, e.g., in the CALABARZON and Central Luzon, also steadily produce pepper. The price of pepper can reach to as high as Php1,000 per Kg (USD 20), making pepper cultivation attractive to small-scale growers as a source of income. Within three months, depending on the pepper variety, growers can start harvesting the fruits, that could last to several priming’s (harvests).

  • REI2020-010 Annex a Terms of Reference
    TERMS OF REFERENCE CONSULTING SERVICES PROCUREMENT OF SERVICES OF MULTIMEDIA COMPANY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF A WEB-BASED 360° VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENTIAL REGIONAL TOURS December 2020 - March 2021 I. BACKGROUND The Philippine Tourism Promotions Board (PTPB) is mandated to promote and market the Philippines as a major global tourism destination. Its core mission is to market and promote the Philippines domestically and internationally as a world class tourism and MICE destination, in strategic partnership with private and public stakeholders as a preferred destination for fun and travel. Its vision is to make the Philippines as a destination for safe, uniquely-diverse and fun travel experiences by 2025. The global tourism has almost come to standstill due to the CoVid-19 pandemic. As travel restrictions and social distancing continue to be enforced across the world for the conceivable future, travel-related businesses such as airlines, cruise lines, hotels, restaurants, and museums have ceased operations. With travels now confined to their respective homes, clamor for indoor activities is on the rise. The introduction of virtual tours, artificial intelligence and virtual/augmented reality are seen as huge potential in tourism. With recent advancements in technology and the availability of video hardware and software worldwide, virtual tours are a staple of digital marketing and promotion. TPB recognizes the relevance of virtual tours and virtual tourism experience platform to strategically market and promote the Philippines as a preferred destination for safe and fun travel. The 360°VR Experiential Regional Tours, in essence, is a virtual experience in exploring the many Philippine tourism attractions and interesting sites/activities in the virtual environment through the use of technology.
