Pattern of Investment Allocation to Chemical Inputs and Technical Efficiency: a Stochastic Frontier Analysis of Farm Households in Laguna, Philippines
Pattern of investment allocation to chemical inputs and technical efficiency: A stochastic frontier analysis of farm households in Laguna, Philippines Orlee Velarde and Valerien Pede International Rice Research Institute Laguna, Philippines 4030 Selected paper prepared for presentation at the 57th AARES Annual Conference, Sydney, New South Wales, 5th-8th February, 2013 Pattern of investment allocation to chemical inputs and technical efficiency: A stochastic frontier analysis of farm households in Laguna, Philippines † Orlee Velarde †and Valerien Pede International Rice Research Institute Abstract This study focuses on the pattern between investment in chemical inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides and technical efficiency of farm households in Laguna, Philippines. Using a one‐stage maximum likelihood estimation procedure, the stochastic production frontier model was estimated simultaneously with the determinants of efficiency. Results show that farmers with a low technical efficiency score have a high investment share in chemical inputs. Farmers who invested more in chemical inputs relative to other variable inputs attained the same or even lower output and were less efficient than those farmers who invested less. The result shows that farmers who invested wisely in chemical inputs can encourage farmers to apply chemical inputs more optimally.

Guerrilla Interview with Lorenzo Cornista
Guerrilla Interview with Lorenzo Cornista By David L. Dwiggins September 9, 2006 December 1, 2011 June 22, 2014 This interview presents a small cross section of, Lorenzo Cornista’s guerrilla operations in the Philippines during Japanese Occupation, World War II. Rather than surrender, these great men chose to wage a different kind of war that was effective and further risked their lives. If not for the precise intelligence that the Filipino guerrilla organizations amassed, liberating forces could never have advanced so quickly to Leyte, Luzon and Japan eventually bringing a long waited freedom. The sufferings of fellow countrymen would have been prolonged. Lorenzo Cornista of San Pablo City, Philippines is a surviving member of San Pedro’s unit of Markings Fil-American Guerrilla Forces. Originally the organization was Hugh Straughn’s Fil-American Irregular Troops (FAIT) but after the death of Straughn, Col.Marcos V. Marking took over the FAIT’s command which he drummed up as Marking’s Fil-Americans. I consulted Lorenzo long ago about the possibilities of an interview and in agreement we decided that the late afternoon of September 9, 2006 we would meet up. My wife and I entered the 50 year-old, two-story, Spanish style bungalow and the Cornista’s saw to it we were comfortably seated then Lorenzo found contentment is a wooden rocking chair. The rocker sat at its forward position as he poured over treasures and recollections of youthful days and the adventures of war spread out on a small table. Several folders and four books were within a hand’s reach and after some greetings and pleasantries we settled into the interview. -

Utilization of raw materials such as fruits like ube, macapuno, langka and other fruit available during every season will be use as flavours for production of cake. Results showed that population as one of the demand determinants increased by 13.79% from 2010-2015 in Siniloan Laguna. The demand for cakes is increasing as population grows every year. Changes in one’s tastes and preferences was also the main concern of the study for the human satisfaction and consumption.

Cayme1*, Aniano N. Asor1, Jr., Maveen Kim Alexis T. Alano2 and Eric T. Miranda2 1 Chemistry Department, College of Science, De La Salle University, 2401 Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila 2 School of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Mapua Institute of Technology, Intramuros, Manila This study reports the chemical composition of historical brickworks from Franciscan- built church complexes in the Philippines. An old brick sample from the Spanish colonial period church convento at Pagsanjan, Laguna was characterized by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). Conventional hot plate aqua regia (1:3 HNO3:HCl, v/v) digestion method was employed to extract iron, calcium, and magnesium from the brick sample. The combined AAS and EDX results yielded a percentage composition of iron ranging from 5.48 to 6.62%, calcium ranging from 1.50 to 3.72%, while magnesium ranges from 0.083 to 0.12%, respectively. These amounts were compared to a similar AAS and EDX study made on a historical brick sample from Ilocos Norte. The presence of possible pores on the brick’s microstructure was confirmed by SEM. Minerals consisting of hematite, kaolinite, illite, quartz, and calcite were present in the sample, as well as trace amounts of other minerals based on IR peak intensities. -
2009 to 2012 Annual Water Quality Report on the Laguna De Bay and Its Tributary Rivers
2009 to 2012 Annual Water Quality Report on the Laguna de Bay and its Tributary Rivers Department Of Environment And Natural Resources LAGUNA LAKE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) Compound, North Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City FOREWORD This report contains the water quality data on Laguna de Bay (LdB) and its tributary rivers generated by the Environmental Laboratory and Research Division (ELRD) of LLDA, formerly Environmental Quality Management Division (EQMD), from 2009 to 2012 for the LLDA’s Water Quality Monitoring Program which has been on-going since 1973. The results of the assessment of the lake and its tributary rivers’ water quality status during the 4-year monitoring period based on compliance to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Class C Water Quality Criteria as prescribed under DENR Administrative Order (DAO) No.34, Series of 1990, are also presented. From 2009 to 2011, the five (5) stations monitored in Laguna de Bay were Station I (Central West Bay), Station II (East Bay), Station IV (Central Bay), Station V (Northern West Bay) and Station VIII (South Bay). By 2012, four (4) new monitoring stations were added, namely: Station XV (West Bay- San Pedro), Station XVI (West Bay- Sta Rosa), Station XVII (Central Bay- Fish Sanctuary) and Station XVIII (East Bay- Pagsanjan). For the monitoring of the Laguna de Bay’s tributaries, LLDA has a total of eighteen (18) stations in 2009 to 2010 that included Marikina, Bagumbayan, Mangangate, Tunasan (Downstream), San Pedro, Cabuyao, San Cristobal, San Juan, Bay, Sta. Cruz, Pagsanjan, Pangil (Downstream), Siniloan, Tanay (Downstream), Morong (Downstream) and Sapang Baho Rivers, Buli Creek, and Manggahan Floodway.
