Mangroves of Naawan, Libertad and Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines: Community Structure and Health Using Sponges as Bioindicator Vannisa Lou Wagas1, Anna Arlene Eya2, Angeli Valera-Mag-Aso3 and Ma. Reina Suzette Madamba4 MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, Philippines [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - Mangrove forests, or mangal, are characterized by one or more species of salt-tolerant trees that form distinct monospecific zones along tropical protected coastlines. Mangrove forests support a diverse range of animals and plants and are important breeding ground for a vast array of organisms. Sponge associations in mangrove systems are spatially heterogenous. An ocular inspection was conducted initially in the mangrove forest along the intertidal zone of Laguindingan, Libertad and Naawan, Misamis Oriental to determine the community structure and health of mangrove species using sponges as bioindicator. A total of 30 quadrats with 10 x 10 m were established in each of the three sampling areas. The species composition, DBH and growth stage of each mangrove was also determined in every quadrat. The relative abundance of sponges per mangrove species and per growth stage of each mangrove was also determined. Results showed that there are two species of mangroves found in Laguindingan. These species includes Rhizophora apiculata and Rhizophora mucronata. There are four mangrove species in Libertad. These are Avicennia lanata, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata and Sonneratia alba. On the other hand, the mangrove forest of Naawan is also dominated by species of Avicennia rumphiana, Rhizophora apiculata and Rhizophora mucronata. Sponges only associate in the pseudo roots of mangrove species in Laguindingan. This study shows that the presence and abundance of certain sponge species in the saplings and trees could serve as biological indicators of mangrove health. Keywords - Mangrove Community Structure, Health, Sponges, Bioindicator Remark: The full paper may be found in www.inrit2013.com The Third International Congress on Interdisciplinary Research and Development, 30 - 31 May 2013, Thailand 33.1 .

COOPERATIVES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY GOING THE EXTRA MILE TO SERVE THEIR MEMBERS AND COMMUNITIES AMIDST COVID-19 PANDEMIC: REPORTS FROM REGION 10 #CoopAgainstCOVID19 Region 10 Cooperatives Countervail COVID-19 Challenge CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The challenge of facing life with CoViD-19 continues. But this emergency revealed one thing: the power of cooperation exhibited by cooperatives proved equal if not stronger than the CoVID-19 virus. Cooperatives continued to show their compassion not just to ease the burden of fear of contracting the deadly and unseen virus, but also to ease the burden of hunger and thirst, and the burden of poverty and lack of daily sustenance. In Lanao del Norte, cooperatives continued to show their support by giving a second round of assistance through the Iligan City Cooperative Development Council (ICCDC), where they distributed food packs and relief goods to micro cooperatives namely: Lambaguhon Barinaut MPC of Brgy. San Roque, BS Modla MPC, and Women Survivors Marketing Cooperative. All of these cooperatives are from Iligan City. In the Province of Misamis Oriental, the spirit of cooperativism continues to shine through amidst this pandemic. The Fresh Fruit Homemakers Consumer Cooperative in Mahayahay, Medina, Misamis Oriental extended help by distributing relief food packages to their members and community. The First Jasaan Multi-Purpose Cooperative provided food assistance and distributed grocery items to different families affected by Covid 19 in Solana, Jasaan, Misamis Oriental. Meanwhile, the Misamis Oriental PNP Employees Multi- Purpose Cooperative initiated a gift-giving program to the poor families of San Martin, Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. Finally, the Mambajao Central School Teachers and Employees Cooperative (MACESTECO) in Mambajao, Camiguin distributed rice packs and relief items to their community.

The Archaeology of Karaang Jasaan
Vol. XXXVII 1 ARTICLES The Archaeology Of Karaang Jasaan Leee Anthony M Neri, Andrea Malaya Ragragio, Maria Elena Wright, Agnes Paulita R Roa, Armand Salvador B Mijares, Thea Kersti Tandog Abstract The University of the Philippines – Archaeological Studies Program (UP- ASP) conducted an archaeological survey along the coast of Misamis Oriental in 2007 and 2008. Forty-one archaeological sites have been identified and reported to the National Museum of the Philippines. One of these historical sites identified was in Karaang Jasaan, Sitio Cota, Barangay Aplaya, Municipality of Jasaan. The Karaang Jasaan Site is a Spanish Complex. Local people believed that the said complex was composed of an old church with a hexagonal belfry, municipal hall, and a cemetery. In 2010, an extensive archaeological excavation and historical research were conducted at the said site. Reconstruction of the site complex was based on the evidence of archaeological excavations and material culture. The Karaang Jasaan Site has a single nave with one main entrance and two subsidiary entrances at the lateral side of the church. It has a hexagonal belfry and a rectangular courtyard. Further from the courtyard was a 2-story convent used by the parish priest. The Karaang Jasaan Site was the original settlement of the people of Jasaan before they were transferred to the present location by the Jesuits ca. 19th century CE. Based on 2 The Archaeology of Karaang Jasaan Archaeological data and archival research, the site may have been inhabited as early as 18th century until the 20th century CE. The municipality of Jasaan is one of the important Spanish historical sites found along the coast of Misamis Oriental.

Euphemisms for Taboo Words: Iliganon’S Sociolinguistical Approach for Social Harmony
Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 6, No. 4, December 2019 doi:10.30845/jesp.v6n4p7 Euphemisms for Taboo Words: Iliganon’s Sociolinguistical Approach for Social Harmony Prof. Marilyn Tampos-Villadolid Department of Social Sciences and Humanities College of Education and Social Sciences Mindanao State University-Naawan 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines Dr. Angelina Lozada Santos Department of Filipino and Other Languages College of Arts and Social Sciences Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology 9200 Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Philippines Abstract Iliganon’s are local residents of Iligan City in Mindanao Island in southern Philippines. They are conservative and generally peace-loving. They do not provoke or start a discord or use a language that is socially unacceptable. Hence, words that have negative effect to listeners are taboo, and to push through the message they want to convey, euphemisms are used. Quota, purposive, and convenience samplings were utilized to attain the desired number of respondents classified as professionals and non-professionals, male and female. The open- ended questionnaire used contained a list of local taboo words which have heavy sexual meanings, repulsive dirt emanating from the body, and other words that evoked aversion to the sensibility of an ordinary person. The respondents listed the euphemisms they commonly used when speaking about these taboo words. Frequency count, percentage, ranking, and chi-square were used to interpret the data. Results showed that the respondents used 10,529 euphemisms for 62 taboo words under six groups. Both variables were found significant at .05 level of chi-square. Euphemisms were effectively utilized to conceal the socially unacceptable words in Iliganon’s speech.
