Codiam Eisenhower C. Bucalen Marciano A. Paroy Jr. Maximo B. Garming Abstract The purpose of the study is to determine the extent of implementation of the LocalGovernment Unit (LGU) involved in the enforcement of RA 9296 in the Province of Kalinga. This purports to identify the constraints and factors affecting the said implementation. Investigative study has been used in aid of a written letter to the CVO,a personal interview with the meat handlers and a meat stalls visit. The findings unveil the meat inspection gaps that had led to the leniency of the implementation. Hence , these strongly suggest that a regular visit be conducted by the concerned LGU to the meat establishments, a collaborative effort be institutionalized by the personnel involved and the local legislative body and a structured Skills and Enhancement program be provided to the meat handlers, butchers, and inspection service personnel. 5 KASC Research Journal 2013 Vol. X No. 1 Ethno-botany of Bamboos in Lubuagan, Kalinga Maria Cyrila C. Bawer Tules P. Banwa Abstract Bamboo plants abound in tropical countries with varied traditional uses from complicated constructions to basic needs. Bamboos are natural vehicles for development since rural people have access to these plants. This study determined the ethno-botanical uses of bamboo plants by the Lubuagan sub-tribe living in the province of Kalinga. The research used the descriptive method and field observations. The researchers used the unstructured interview to identify the uses of existing bamboo plant species from key informants in the area. These identified uses of bamboo species were further verified through ocular observation and photo-documentation. The Lubuagan sub-tribe used the different bamboo plants economically, culturally, aesthetically and ecologically. Of the ten bamboo plant species found in the municipality, a native species Schizostachyum lumampao (buyu) and an introduced bamboo Bambusa vulgaris ( Kawayan) were used extensively by the sub-tribe. The sustainable ethno- botanical uses of bamboos by the sub-tribe, as an integral part of their way of living, need support from concerned non-government and government agencies. The ethno-botanical importance of these bamboo plants can be further used as bases of replanting bamboos in the area to reduce risks of landslide aside from being an additional carbon sinks to mitigate climate change. 6 KASC Research Journal 2013 Vol. X No. 1 Intensifying Fortified Compost Pellets: A New Farming Management Option in Kalinga Herbert C. Imatong Eduardo T. Bagtang Abstract This study emanated from the problems encountered by the author appurtenant to the implementation the vermicompost production project at Kalinga-Apayao State College, Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. As noted from the project, farmer-beneficiaries usually make their organic fertilizer after establishing their crops and stock them for use in the next cropping season. However, these organic fertilizers became very dry when they were needed. To facilitate the application of these organic fertilizers, re-wetting and re-packing were done resulting to multiple handling with added cost. Thus intensifying fortified compost pellets as a new farming management option in Kalinga was undertaken. This study was centered on the influence of pelleting on the growth of beneficial microbes. Two compost substrates with three replications were tested using a designed machine fabricated by Imatong et al, 2012. The substrates were; C1 – vermicompost supplemented with urea and complete fertilizer (14-14-14) and C2 – plain commercial organic fertilizer. Both treatments received the same amount of 453.6 ml of microbial solution at 2.5% concentration of molasses. Statistical t–test was used to compare the results. Results of the performance test showed that the machine produced fortified pellets with a mean bulk density of 889.92 kg/m3. The volume of pelleted compost was reduced to about 65% of its original volume. The growth of compost bacteria was evident in unpelleted samples compared to pelleted ones 12 hours after incubation while the growth of compost fungi was only noticed 36 hours from incubation. Substrate C1 was greatly influenced by pelleting as manifested by a microbial survival rate of 17.5% while the fungal colony registered a survival rate of 33%. Likewise, substrate C2 gave a bacterial survival rate of 44% after pelleting. The fungal colony of substrate C2 registered a survival rate of 87.22% after pelleting. Keywords: Fortified organic fertilizer pellets, pellet density, colony-forming units (CFU) 7 KASC Research Journal 2013 Vol. X No. 1 Bio-indicator of climate change: Adaptive Features of Crateromysspecies(Bewet) in Fragmented Mossy Forest Ecosystems of Central Cordillera Region, North Luzon, Philippines Tules P.
