  • Vigía: the Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam
    Vigía: The Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam Carlos Madrid Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center There are indications of the existence of a network of lookout points around Guam during the 18th and 19th centuries. This is suggested by passing references and few explicit allusions in Spanish colonial records such as early 19th Century military reports. In an attempt to identify the sites where those lookout points might have been located, this paper surveys some of those references and matches them with existing toponymy. It is hoped that the results will be of some help to archaeologists, historic preservation staff, or anyone interested in the history of Guam and Micronesia. While the need of using historic records is instrumental for the abovementioned purposes of this paper, focus will be given to the Chamorro place name Bijia. Historical evolution of toponymy, an area of study in need of attention, offers clues about the use or significance that a given location had in the past. The word Vigía today means “sentinel” in Spanish - the person who is responsible for surveying an area and warn of possible dangers. But its first dictionary definition is still "high tower elevated on the horizon, to register and give notice of what is discovered". Vigía also means an "eminence or height from which a significant area of land or sea can be seen".1 Holding on to the latter definition, it is noticeable that in the Hispanic world, in large coastal territories that were subjected to frequent attacks from the sea, the place name Vigía is relatively common.

  • Correlates of Food Safety Practices of the Chichacorn Industry in Ilocos Norte
    MMSU Science and Technology Journal ISSN: 2012 0060 Vol. 3 No. 2 | July-December 2013 CORRELATES OF FOOD SAFETY PRACTICES OF THE CHICHACORN INDUSTRY IN ILOCOS NORTE Fairie Anne P. Acebedo*, Catherine P. Abadilla, Marilyn P. Domingo, Buenaflora R. Asiao, and Zenaida H. Esteban Abstract The National Economic Development Authority-Development Bank of the Philippines-Mariano Marcos State University (NEDA-DBP-MMSU) Project (2007) survey revealed that not one of the Ilocos Norte food processors could approximate Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), a basic food safety program required by the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD). The Ilocos Norte chichacorn industry is not an exemption. Thus, this study determined the factors affecting the adoption and implementation of food safety program in the said industry. Fourteen chichacorn owners and ten workers located in Paoay, Solsona, Pinili, and Dingras served as respondents of the study. Majority of the chichacorn establishments were categorized as micro enterprises based on the number of workers. Owners’ production areas were mostly extension of their houses. Product processing was still based on accustomed production practices using minimal equipment available. Not all processors are registered with regulatory agencies as some operate without BFAD registration, which is a basic requirement of all food establishments based on P.D. 856 (Sanitation Code of the Philippines). Moreover, owners and workers had a moderate knowledge level on food safety. However, their beliefs and work behavior on food safety practices were highly favorable. The environmental condition in their production plant though was moderately favorable. Meanwhile, their level of compliance with food safety practices during production was low.
