    Quantifying the Impacts of Water Environment and Conservation for Sustainability in Northern Philippines

    Quantifying the Impacts of Water Environment and Conservation for Sustainability in Northern Philippines C.M. Pascual1 ,W. D. Balizon2, J. M. Caraang2, L. A. Castro2, M. O. Ganda2, and S.N. dela Cruz2 1) Professor, Department of Agricultural Engineering, College of Agriculture and Forestry, Mariano Marcos State University, Batac 2906, Ilocos Norte, Philippines; Email: [email protected] 2)Agricultural Engineers, Department of Agricultural Engineering, College of Agriculture and Forestry, Mariano Marcos State University, Batac 2906, Ilocos Norte, Philippines; Email: [email protected] Abstract Water scarcity and water pollution are some of the crucial issues in the world. One of the ways to reduce the impact of water scarcity and pollution is to expand water and wastewater reuse. This paper presents two case studies to quantify impacts on water environment and conservation for sustainability, such as (1) using a low-cost gravity-type drip irrigation system (LCDIS) for lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and tomato (Licopersicum esculentum) during two dry seasons; and (2) re-use of greywater (such as kitchen and laundry wastewater from households) for swamp cabbage (Ipomea aquatica).The case study 1 aimed to evaluate the performance of the low-cost gravity-type drip irrigation system under field conditions. Specifically, the study aimed to: a) determine the irrigation efficiency using gravity-type drip irrigation and furrow methods of irrigation; b) assess the growth and yield of lettuce and tomato as affected by different irrigation methods; and c) compare the economic feasibility of LCDIS with the farmer’s practice on lettuce and tomato. Field plot experiments were laid out separately for each crop to compare LCDIS and furrow irrigation method (as farmer’s practice).

    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I SYSTEM TESTIMONY H.B. 3258 RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I Testimony Presented Before the House Committee on Finance February 27, 2006 By Jenny S. Samaan System Director, Office of International Education University of Hawai‘i TESTIMONY PRESENTED BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE FEBRUARY 27, 2006 by Jenny S. Samaan System Director, Office of International Education University of Hawai‘i HB 3258 RELATING TO EDUCATION- EXCHANGE STUDENT AND FACULTY PROGRAM WITH PHILIPPINES Chair: Rep. Dwight Y. Takamine, Vice Chair: Rep. Bertha C. Kawakami and Members of the Committee: TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF H.B. 3258 The University of Hawai‘i agrees that student and faculty educational exchanges between Hawai‘i and the State’s sister provinces in the Philippines can serve to strengthen cultural, social, and economic ties. The University of Hawai‘i has had long-standing and a wide array of relationships with various academic institutions in the Philippines that include language teaching, agricultural research, student exchange, business school collaboration, distance education learning, among other activities. The complete list of relationships across the UH system is attached to this testimony for reference. The University of Hawai‘i system-wide Office of International Education (OIE) assists UH to achieve Goal 3, of the University's Strategic Plan, which strives for the University to be a “Model Local, Regional, and Global University” with unique strengths in Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Affairs. In part, his goal is achieved by establishing and maintaining international exchange agreements that facilitate the mobility of UH students, faculty, and researchers and assist incoming exchange students and scholars.

When the same official makes unseemly comments, dismisses earnest questions and lashes out at those seeking answers, or, worse, heckles a person in grief, they become targets of citizens’ outrage. Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda described researchers of the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UPMSI) as “bayaran” (paid hacks) for questioning the controversial dolomite “white sand” project in Manila Bay—and was promptly called out on social media and told to quit his job. Antiporda, a former tabloid publisher and ex-president of the National Press Club, also demanded an audit of the UPMSI budget, saying the Department of Environment and Natural Resources had paid it “half a billion [pesos] since 2016” for consultation. Benny Antiporda —SENATE PHOTO ‘Drama serye’ He subsequently apologized for his remarks, saying his emotions had gotten the better of him. But he brushed off calls for him to resign, saying only President Duterte could make him do so. Celine Pialago, spokesperson of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, drew much flak from netizens for mocking the burial of the 3-month-old child of detained activist Reina Mae Nasino as mere histrionics (“drama serye sa hapon”).

MARCOS AN ACT MODERNIZING THE CHARTER OF THE MARIANO MARCOS STATE UNIVERSITY AND RENAMING THE SAME AS THE FERDINAND E. MARCOS STATE UNIVERSITY, AMENDING FOR THIS PURPOSE PRESIDENTIAL DECREE No. 1279, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES EXPLANATORY NOTE Sectionl, Article XIV of the Constitution ensures the protection and promotion of the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all. This bill seeks firstly to avoid the confusion with a similarly-named SUC in nearby La Union, called Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) with its numerous campuses and large population. Hence, this Ilocos Norte SUC should instead be named after former Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos, rather than his father, the Assemblyman, Mariano Marcos. The high academic standard of the Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), its graduates consistently topping various licensure examinations, also evinced by its pioneering courses such as the first Masters in Renewable Energy Engineering in South East Asia, underlie its excellence. However, its forty-one (41) year old charter is no longer responsive to the present economic and educational landscape of Ilocandia and Ilocano students. Thus, this bill seeks to revisit PD 1279 with the following salient points: a. Broaden the University's mandate to reflect its fourfold functions, namely: advanced education and training; research and innovation; extension & development; resource generation; b.

    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 9 No. 2 February 2021 FESTIVALS OF ILOCOS NORTE: A CONTEXTUAL REVIEW OF VALUES AND CULTURE IN NORTHERN PHILIPPINES JASPER KIM M. RABAGO Author Assistant Professor Mariano Marcos State University Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Philippines email: [email protected] 55 ISSN: 2411-5681 www.ijern.com ABSTRACT The study was conducted to develop and validate a series of pamphlets on selected festivals of Ilocos Norte. The descriptive approach was used and adapted the research and development (R and D) methodology. The social studies curriculum in the elementary and secondary schools in the Philippine K to 12 is designed to teach and strengthen the learners’ knowledge and understanding of local history. Part of teaching the concepts is integrating cultural values that are manifested in the various localities’ ways of life. Research and studies on cultural festivals were surveyed and first hand interview with key informants in the various local government units were done to determine the historical origin and values that are manifested in the festivals. The results of the survey were used as bases in the development of pamphlets on selected festivals of Ilocos Norte that could be used in teaching local history and values. The pamphlet comes in a series (1-6) form and has the following parts namely: A Cultural Celebration, The Town and Its People, Social Organization, A Reflection of the People’s Culture, and The Cultural Values and Highlights. Festivals were chosen based on their geographical place of origin. Hence, all the festivals were equally represented. Two festivals, Currimao’s Dinaklisan and Pasuquin’s Dumadara were chosen from the coastal area, from the upland area are Carasi’s Magdadaran Talip and Dumalneg’s Panagwawagi, and from the lowland area are Batac City’s Empanada and Dingras’ Ani.
