message BEING ASKED TO CHAIR this year’s sustainable and regenerative development, I find myself constantly framing these meta perspectives: what does sustainability and regeneration mean for community-based development? As a professional corporate researcher for the past 20 years starting out at Sun Laboratory where the original JavaSoft Team created the Java programming language which is the backbone of the internet, I know that this technology must be ubiquitous, accessible, and dynamic. This is an inclusive mindset; an interdisciplinary and/or transdisciplinary viewpoint in collaborations. Only in transformation will this be effective for communitybased development. In the past decade of focusing on “sustainable and regenerative” (easy-to-do and simple-to-share) research and development, effectiveness is not the real concern, but“affectiveness”– a need for holistic perspective towards evolutionary design thinking must be addressed in our collaborative research and fusion developments. In today’s global issues, holistic perspectives and collaborative mindset are the furthest from our easy-to-do and simple-to-share solutions. Linear-based logical thinking has only led us into 1) paralyzing rigidity and/or 2) ambiguity that inhibits actions; most often creating conflicts. Without deep diving into the WHYS at these two stagnancies, we have found from our action research that we must prepare for these two “FEARS” and integrate solutions as a synthesis of clarity within one’s bearing within their collective dynamics and still control the basis of personal evaluation. The modalities of sustainable and regenerative community-based development must have a detailed framework providing security for action; from defining individual reporting relationships, which we consider to be “action research”, to facilitating teamwork, and to removing all ambiguity that inhibits actions and/or fear of paralyzing rigidity. This can be simply defined by providing space for autonomy, clarifying interfaces between functions, and producing a score that has to be interpreted. At all costs avoid the rigidity of excessive formalization and conflicts. In this year’s abstract submissions, our synthesis is “acceptance and offerings” to encourage all dynamics of sustainable and regenerative development—an inclusivity. To be direct, we encourage actions of personal and transcultural relatedness in promoting actions of research collaborations and fusion development. We are excited at the opportunities to network and simply share – inspirations to take actions together.

PLENARY PAPER Preliminary Assessment of Tourism and Fishery Benefits of Marine Protected Area in San Juan Batangas, Southern Luzon, Philippines BERNARDO C. LUNAR

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0049-1829 colonelc4b@yahoo.com De La Salle Lipa Philippines The economic analysis and valuation of an MPA is useful to demonstrate and quantify its economic value in terms of raw materials, protection of natural and human systems, and maintenance of options for future economic production and growth, as well as the costs associated with the loss of these benefits through resource degradation. The study made a preliminary assessment of the tourism and fishery benefit of the Marine Protected Area of Brgy. Hugom, San Juan, Batangas identified the residents and visitors’ willingness to pay (WTP) to support financial sustainability and conservation of MPA’s. Swimming, the most preferred recreational activity was enjoyed by tourists as resort guests once they went for a day-trip with an average cost of 1,005 pesos per person. Diving was the least preferred activity among the surveyed tourists whereas none of them indicated its direct cost. In terms of fisheries, the average catch rate for Brgy Hugom was 5.35 kg per trip. Around 264 households engaged in fishing earning an average annual income of 35, 512.00 pesos in cash and an average annual income in kind of 10,242.00 pesos. There were 28 identified aquatic species during the fisheries profiling in San Juan, Batangas and the pelagic species were the most diverse and abundant. Results further showed that they are willing to allocate certain amount for the conservation fund of the MPA. Data revealed that the community people agreed to pay 2 to 100 pesos while the tourists were willing to pay 8 to 300 pesos per month. Based The tourists all agreed to allot 2 to 192 hours per month while the residents were willing to extend 1 to 5 hours of their time per week all for the aim of conserving the identified MPA.

Parent Roles, Common Problems and Parenting Interventions in Caring a Child Diagnosed With AD/HD SAMUEL B. BERNALDEZ

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-9378-5710 samuelbernaldez@yahoo.com Fourth Estate Elementary School Philippines Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder comprises a range of behavior problems including impulsiveness, inattentiveness, and hyperactivity. It should also be stressed that ADHD itself has no effect on intelligence. Children with this condition are often intelligent, creative and enthusiastic and when their energy is directed constructively they can become high achievers.

This study looked into the nature and operation of 24-hour convenience stores in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, with the objective to provide proper guidance and adequate information for entrepreneurs who are planning to increase and expand 24-hour convenience stores within the city. Researchers utilized quantitative method with purposive sampling design with managers or proprietors and the convenient sampling design with 48 customers of such five stores. Data were treated using percentages, weighted mean, t-test, and chi-square. Results showed that store owners made maximum use of time, equipment, and people; designed solutions to costly problems of morale, health, safety, care for employees through benefits; and the disadvantages and advantages of running 24-hour convenience stores. The findings suggested that though the customers’ convenience of not being rushed due to fear of closing hours, the need for the huge investment coupled with the challenge of getting employees willing to work on midnight shifts made these convenient stores intricate businesses to start. The study found that contrary to general belief; those stores do not guarantee any economic stability during National Economic crisis. Such stores also do not help last minute customers, given limited commodities.

Morphosyntactic Features of English Variety in Davao City, Philippines CHARLIE A. DAYON

http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6553-2743 charliedayon2@gmail.com Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology Philippines The study describes the morphosyntactic features of English variety in Davao City. In attaining this purpose, I used structural analysis of qualitative research method. In ensuring its trustworthiness, I used some samples from multiple sources of corpora found in this city, analyzed, and classified them according to genres, such as student composition, print media, virtual communication, billboard ads, and office communication. After analyzing the samples, I discovered that that the morphological features of the English variety were prominently affixation (prefixation e.g., gina-close, paglunch, naopen, nagpositive, ipa-discharge) and borrowing (transliteration into dialect orthography, e.g., …who was my inspairation; our guest pls. do not inter; hill side dreep wood furniture). The syntactic features, on the other hand, were dominantly run-ons (comma splice: “It starts in the acquaintance party, then sa assemblies, then aside from that…”), verb-tense inconsistency (e.g., “As we do our activity this morning, I was able to learn many strategies …”), and wordiness (e.g., “I would like to take this opportunity to briefly explain our publication process.”). These findings made me conclude that the emergence of these peculiarities was brought about by the influence of Visayan language in the region. Hence, the emergence of this new variety of Philippine English could be identified as localized English.

Utilizing qualitative phenomenological tradition, the results revealed that before 4Ps implementation, the lives of recipients were uphill and tough. They could barely provide the basic needs of their family as well as their requirements of their children in school. However, after 4Ps implementation, their lives have become better since they get cash grants that capacitate them to supply their family’s needs. These were confirmed by the testimonies of school teachers and their heads who admitted that before the implementation of 4Ps, they found the children of 4Ps recipients non-compliant with school requirements and sporadic in class participation. They even added that they found them engage their children in labour. However, after 4Ps implementation, they observed improvement on these children’s attendance and involvement in school undertaking. Surprisingly, however, they disclosed amid FGD that the grants were being diverted by some beneficiaries. Based on these findings, I saw the importance of strict implementation and regular monitoring of the social protection programs across the Philippines especially in Mindanao by the appointed agencies of the government, and appropriate legal actions against those beneficiaries who go overboard might be considered.

Tourism as a global phenomenon, has become a basic need and a part of human rights, which must be respected and protected. This has led to international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Bank and the World Tourism Organization (WTO), recognizing that tourism is an integral part of human life, especially with regard to social and economic activities. Various attractions and tourism activities in Bali cause business movement in various fields, including investment. However, in carrying out investment activities in the field of tourism, the community has a role as a party that runs tourism activities owned by tourism entrepreneurs, and on the other hand the government has a role to determine the direction of policy in the field of tourism that cannot be released with local wisdom applicable in each respectively. Local life that lives and develops in the community in Bali is one of the main foundations for the development of tourism in Bali, in other words local wisdom cannot be separated from the successful development of tourism in Bali. The value of local wisdom adopted by this community can be used as a filter in maintaining the culture of society and the sustainability of sustainable tourism economy. This concept is a concept based on the principle of harmony or harmony of life which consists of three interrelated elements that are universally called Tri Hita Karana.

The water quality of Day-asan Mangrove Forest Area in Surigao City, Philippines was assessed by conducting physicochemical, microbiological, and heavy metal analyses of water samples. Water sampling was conducted in three sampling stations: (1) Residential, (2) Commercial, and (3) Untouched from July 2017 to January 2018. Results were compared to the standard limits for Class SB waters set under Water Quality Guidelines and General Effluent Standards. The high pH in three stations exceeded the permissible limits which could be attributed to high concentration of dissolved solids. Dissolved oxygen values were below the minimum parameters which could be resulted from high fecal coliform in the areas. Other physicochemical parameters such as Chlorides, Oil and Grease, Phosphate concentrations, Salinity, Temperature, and Total Suspended Solids were within the DENR standards for Class SB waters. Fecal Coliform and Total Coliform Counts exceeded the minimum limits in three stations throughout the sampling period. Presence of heavy metals such Zinc, Copper, and Lead was not detected based on the Limit of Detections of the instruments used. Overall analysis revealed that water quality was declining in Residential and Commercial areas due to the relatively high discharge of wastes from households and fish cages with dense population.

Free radical is an imbalance formation of electrons through oxidative stress which damages DNA in cells that will eventually turn into cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and placing third in the Philippines. The study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical screening, and the antioxidant activity of Terminalia catappa leaves ethanolic extract. The extract was evaluated by phytochemical qualitative reactions for plant metabolites. The test was performed for flavonoids, phenols/ tannins, and terpenoids for three trials. The color intensity or the precipitate formation was used as responses to these tests. The free radical scavenging activity of the ethanolic extract was quantitatively assessed using the DPPH radical method adopted for spectrophotometry. Results of phytochemical showed that there is the presence of phenols/tannins, flavonoids and terpenoids based on the qualitative testing conducted on the test samples. Results of percentage DPPH scavenging activity of the ascorbic acid revealed substantially higher antioxidant activity (34.33%±0.6597) when compared to Talisay extract (23.88%±2.9621). The findings clearly indicated that the plant extract used has potential antioxidant agents. Demonstration of phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity of Terminalia catappa provides the scientific basis and may help to discover new chemical classes of antioxidant substances that could serve as selective agents against degenerative diseases. This investigation has opened up the possibility of the use of Talisay leaves extract in producing an antioxidant agent that functions as an alternative to highly available antioxidant product in drug stores.

To benefit from opportunities and face challenges, organizations have to build innovative capabilities, either through internal R&D or based on scientific collaborations, namely with universities transfer of Technology. Universities produce technical knowledge and patents which increase the innovation and lead often to the creation of spin-offs. But in many rural areas, there is a still gap between universities and Industry. This study aims at suggesting ways to increase and promote rural development, thru technology transfer from universities. Examples will illustrate this feasibility, namely the China Spark program for farmers, ALTPEZ Fisheries in Columbia, Kasisi, Agricultural Training Centre (Zambia), Indigenous Resource-Based Management of Kalan–Kalikasan Rocket Stove Livelihood Project in Camarines Norte and Malolos, a project of Dr. Juanita Cruz. An empirical survey yield results presented in regards to the most important factors favoring / inhibiting the university-industry technology transfer, from a study conducted in Tunisia, challenging 16 hypothesis. Among the barriers, the bureaucracy of university, the exclusive right protection from the industry, the lack of common culture and the lack of intellectual property protections are the main factors limiting transfer. It is possible to study rural problem as applied research (part of professor research effort), find solutions with the collaboration of the industry, train graduate students to applied research and favor the start-off.

Two sections from first year level were selected to be the respondents. The Quasi-Experimental Non Equivalent Control Group Design was used in the study. The t-test for the correlated samples was used to test the significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of the experimental and control group. The test for uncorrelated samples was used to find out the significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of the experimental and control groups. The results of the study revealed that the students had different levels of reading proficiency through the traditional and modular approach. There is a significant difference between the improved reading skills of the students in modular approach and traditional approach. Even though there is a significant difference between the improved reading skills of the students in modular and traditional approach, the effect of modular approach in improving the reading skills of the students is not significant. It was found out that the modular approach has its weaknesses.

Environmental Isotope Tracers of Pollution in the Neritic Zone of Boracay Island, Philippines RAYMOND SUCGANG

https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3768-6256 cesarsed2002@yahoo.com Philippine Nuclear Research Institute Philippines The study was conducted to determine the sources of nutrients responsible for the cyanobacteria blooms during the summer months in the neritic zone of Boracay Island, Philippines. Contributions to nutrient loading of submarine ground water discharges (SGD), surface runoffs and sewage system discharges, during pre and post monsoon seasons in Boracay were established using six lines of evidences: tritium, Oxygen 18, Nitrogen 15, Carbon 13, elemental composition, and microbial load, in sea water, ground water, biota, flood water, and raw sewage/septic samples. The whimsical local belief on the alleged contribution of cyanobacteria/algae to white sand production has caused apathy to the eminent nutrient releases which were ascertained to fertilize the algae/cyanobacteria in the beach zone. Algae/cyanobacteria samples showed isotope compositions that were very close to those of raw sewage and sewer pipe water regarding δ13C and δ15N. Stable isotope and geochemical data were also used to trace the fates of pollutants and monitor natural attenuation of nitrates, phosphates, pesticides, etc. Results of the study provide scientific bases for precision policy- making and sustainable management of the fragile ecosystem.

Cloves have variety of uses in modern dentistry and in herbal medicine since the ancient times. This study, conducted in Gullas College of Dentistry in Cebu City, is about the antibacterial effect of cloves rinse to the oral microflora. A quasi-experimental method within group time series was designed. Participants were asked to gargle low concentration of cloves rinse (0.01N) then a sample of their saliva was gathered. “Streak culture” method was used and Colony Formation Unit (CFU) of bacteria were counted. Samples were compared in three different groups according to the use of clove rinse: before, one hour after and one week after using cloves rinse. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis, P-value=0.001 and the null hypothesis was rejected. Researcher concludes that there was a decrease in the bacterial colony count in the saliva using cloves rinse, which shows cloves anti-bacterial property. Cloves mouthwash proves to have more effect on long-term use (after one-week). For comprehensive efficiency analysis, further studies with longer time of using cloves rinse and comparing it with commercial rinse is recommended.
