It is a primary life-giving substance which is vital to the existence ofgenerations of people. Water, like the heart ofa man, pumps life to every living creature on earth. The well Ls a source of water. Itis usually found 41 the most central areas of a specific townor banjo. In most ca.Ses, it is the center of activities of a given community. Itis a place where people gather, some of themto fetch water cooking, washing, bathing, and forany number of o er uses. It is a place where people chat, make fun anddiscuss the most pressing issues in the community. It isa place for collective work ...collective experiences,.. that brings people, y6ungor old, together. There are wells that have withstood thetest of time. They have never dried up. They have beena basic source of peoples' needs, generation after generation. Inmost cases, they have been monuments to the histoN ofa people. They have served the past, are utilized in the present, and willprobably still be a resource in the future. It is with these thoughts in mind thatwe picked The Well of Timeas the title of this anthology. As a source of Filipino cultural heritage, The Wellof Time is in the form of a collection of eighteen (18) shortstories. These stories have a time frame of theirown. They are stories by several generations of Filipino writers. As writing, thestories have withstood the test of time. They have been readin the past and continue to be read in thepresent And the writers of these stories offer a variety of images of Filipino culture: urban and rural, life-styles in northern and in southernPhilippines as well. This variety in both subject and method allowsthe reader to adequately sample the experience of the Filipinopeople now over forty million.

    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.

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.

He took off his hat and came slowly forward. The floorboards creaked under his boots. In his black suit he stood in the dark glass where the lilies leaned so palely from their waisted cutglass vase. Along the cold hallway behind him hung the portraits of forebears only dimly known to him all framed in glass and dimly lit above the narrow wainscotting. He looked down at the guttered candlestub. He pressed his thumbprint in the warm wax pooled on the oak veneer. Lastly he looked at the face so caved and drawn among the folds of funeral cloth, the yellowed moustache, the eyelids paper thin. That was not sleeping. That was not sleeping. It was dark outside and cold and no wind. In the distance a calf bawled. He stood with his hat in his hand. You never combed your hair that way in your life, he said. Inside the house there was no sound save the ticking of the mantel clock in the front room. He went out and shut the door. Dark and cold and no wind and a thin gray reef beginning along the eastern rim of the world. He walked out on the prairie and stood holding his hat like some supplicant to the darkness over them all and he stood there for a long time.

This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas­ sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di­ alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.

    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.

The Department of English, Mizoram University has moved from strength to strength in terms of its literary eminence, and this journal is one such reflection of the literary merits and commitment towards the same. This journal is currently one of the few journals in Humanities that has been approved by the UGC. Right from the outset is has strived to promote and enhance excellence in terms of writing and research activities. Asserting aspects of individuality and distinctiveness has been a significant parameter in terms of literary studies and the articles in the collection have joined the very significant debate towards the assertion of the self , interpreted largely in terms of culture, traditions and of course, resistance towards the same.
