  • 193 Cassava Breeding and Varietal Dissemination In
    193 CASSAVA BREEDING AND VARIETAL DISSEMINATION IN THE PHILIPPINES - MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE PAST 20 YEARS Algerico M. Mariscal1, Reynaldo V. Bergantin1 and Anita D. Troyo1 ASTRACT During the past 20 years of close collaboration with CIAT in the cassava breeding program in the Philippines, much has been achieved, not only in terms of human capacity building but also in the acquisition of improved cassava germplasm. These materials were used in a multy-year selection scheme, which culminated in the release of several improved cassava varieties recommended for cultivation in the country, in order to support the need for food, feed and various industrial products. Since 1982 a total of 40,809 cassava hybrid seeds were received from CIAT headquarters in Colombia and 11,280 hybrid seeds rom the Thai-CIAT cassava program. These were evaluated in all stages of selection under Philippine conditions. Three cassava varieties were released by the Center during the early years of establishment and 16 varieties were subsequently released by the National Seed Industry Council. From these released varieties, six are of local origin, eight are from CIAT materials and five from locally developed hybrids. Progress in the selection of the materials received has been quite positive, meaning that a lot of the elite genetic materials introduced were selected for possible varietal release or as parental material for the breeding program. Considering the source of the two genetic populations we received, it was noted that hybrid seeds from Thailand performed very well in the Philippines; in fact, some of the elite materials have superior characteristics compared to the best Philippine varieties.

  • The Galaxy of Archipelago
    THE GALAXY OF ARCHIPELAGO THE LAND OF GOD First, the Land of God, in the center of the galaxy of Archipelago, the one worshipped. Katalonan say it emanates a life-giving energy that gives the Galaxy of Archipelago the ability for life, but this is simply rumors and cryptic religious ramblings. This is also where, they say, that God lives. If you try to seek out the Land, you will simply become lost. THE ARCHIPELAGO The ARCHIPELAGO is the galaxy wherein all live in. It is wide, violent, and home to millions of star systems and planets. The Archipelago is usually split into three concentric sectors, although sometimes 4: ​Upstream, Downstream, and Shore. ​Sometimes they include the ​Horizon ​is included since there are some systems and planets that Humanity lives in there as well. The ​Upstream ​is the sector that surrounds the Land of God, closest to the center of the Galaxy. Here you will find the rich, palace planets of the Maginoo and Datu, as well as the Capital Planet of the whole Lakanate. The ​Downstream ​is the sector after the Upstream, surrounding it. Most work is done here, as well as trade, since it is the nexus of the Shore and Horizon Rims and the Upstream. This sector houses most of the planets and the population of Humanity. The ​Shore ​is the furthest from the Land of God, and the closest to the Horizon. This is where most of the vagrants and untouchables of the setting live, and most planets here are also usually uncharted or unrecorded. There is still much natural resources here, thus why most of the rich exploit this sector and its people.

  • The Case of Project Citizen in the Philippines: Examining The
    THE CASE OF PROJECT CITIZEN IN THE PHILIPPINES: EXAMINING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A GRASSROOTS CIVIC EDUCATION PROGRAM by TANYA REKOW WALKER (Under the Direction of Dr. Kathleen deMarrais) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine how and why a small non-governmental organization called the Philippine Center for Civic Education and Democracy (PCCED) chose to implement the Project Citizen curriculum, a project-based civic education program promoting civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions, in the Philippine schools. Attention was given to how Project Citizen was adapted for, and implemented in, the Philippine context. The origins of PCCED, its objectives, and how stakeholders perceived program effectiveness were explored. By examining how the PCCED implemented Project Citizen in Manila schools, I investigated how democratic education is maintained in a developing nation faced with the marginalization of civic education in the national curriculum. This qualitative case study relied on interviews, observations, and documents as the main data sources. A comparative education theoretical framework served as my interpretive perspective, and more specifically, I applied Phillips and Ochs’s (2004) policy borrowing and lending model to test its utility with a grassroots case of policy adoption. The data analysis process was guided by Vavrus and Bartlett’s (2014) vertical case study method which relies equally on three different dimensions of comparison: the horizontal, the vertical, and the transversal. The findings of this research indicated that Project Citizen’s growth in its reach and membership since its adoption was the result of several interconnected factors. First, seeking to prevent further marginalization of civic education in the national curriculum, the PCCED offered Project Citizen as an extracurricular participatory citizenship program to engage students, solve community problems, and promote political efficacy.
