Parilla Northwestern University, Philippines DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v3-i7/75 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v3-i7/75 Abstract: OTOP Philippines supports micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to manufacture, offer and market distinctive products or services through the use of indigenous raw materials and local skills and talents. It is a government program that supports micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to manufacture, offer, and market distinctive products or services through the use of indigenous raw materials and local skills and talents. Here in Ilocos Norte, One-Town- One-Product program is being spearheaded by the local chief executives of the different municipalities and towns and the Department of Trade and industry. Through several local ordinances, the different towns and cities have identified their own products under the program which will receive the support of the government and of the Department of Trade and Industry. This research aimed to find out the economic impact of One Town One Product program of the government in the Province of Ilocos Norte. The OTOP owners in Ilocos Norte are already adult, dominated by college graduate and married women. Most of them have not attended seminars and trainings and are not members of professional organizations. Majority of the OTOP businesses in Ilocos Norte have existed for 16-20 years and are engaged in manufacturing and most of them are sole proprietor.

Sablot (Litsea Glutinosa), Lour Rob., in the Continuing Preservation and Conservation of the Cultural Heritage of Ilocos (Philippines)
Journal Sampurasun Vol. 04, Number 01, June 2018 SABLOT (LITSEA GLUTINOSA), LOUR ROB., IN THE CONTINUING PRESERVATION AND CONSERVATION OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF ILOCOS (PHILIPPINES) Norma A. Esguerra College of Engineering, University of Northern Philippines Vigan City, 2700 Ilocos Sur, Philippines [email protected] Abstract The ethical guideline that appropriate materials be used for the conservation and preservation of cultural heritage implies that the original set of materials be used, thus, the need to replicate the same materials used by the forefathers. This study then promotes the use of sablot, (Litsea Glutinosa), Lour Rob., a native Philippine tree, in the conservation and preservation of the heritage structures of Ilocos, Philippines, and demonstrates the structural feasibility of sablot paste as cement substitute. Historical and technical approaches were used to develop the research. By historical approach, documentary analysis of information was conducted among selected structures to present the facts about the time of construction and methods used by the Ilocano builders. Records show that the churches of Ilocos were constructed earlier than the recorded date of invention of cement in 1824 by Joseph Aspdin, an English inventor. Interviews with selected elderlies knowledgeable of the construction methods were conducted to determine the proportion of the aggregates and the sablot paste. From the interviews, the technical approach followed, where samples were constructed to replicate the proportion of the original formulation of the sablot paste and aggregates. In conclusion, the Ilocos churches testify to the capability of the sablot solution to bind the construction aggregates used during the pre-cement era.The sablot paste is as strong as cement within ordinary loadings, and the age of the sablot paste has a significant effect to its strength.
