<p>This study was conducted to determine the demographic profile and the level of awareness of climate literacy and mitigation measures of the residents of six selected coastal areas in Davao City, namely, Sasa 11, Brgy. 76A, Bucana, Matina Aplaya, Talomo, and Gulf View. Further, this study determined the mitigation measures of the respondents in terms of the respondents’ actions. Descriptivecorrelation research design was utilized and a total of four hundred twenty eight randomly selected residents to answer a three part Survey Questionnaire. Pearson product moment coefficient of correlation was used to establish the relationship between the respondents’ awareness on global warming and global climate change and their corresponding mitigation measures.Chi-square tests were used to ascertain the association between the respondents’ demographic profile and awareness on global warming and global climate change; and between the respondents’ demographic profile and their corresponding mitigation measures. Study showed that the respondents’ overall awareness on global warming and global climate is moderate but significantly correlated to their actions to mitigate the impact of these phenomena. Analysis of the results also revealed that among the demographic variables, sex and educational attainment are significantly associated while age, socio-economic status and length of stay in the area are not significantly associated. On the other hand, only age and educational attainment show significant association to the level of awareness on global climate change.Moreover, analysis revealed that, age and educational attainment show significant association while sex, socio-economic status and length of stay do not show significant association to the actions of the respondents to mitigate the impact of global warming and global climate change.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Climate literacy, global warming, global climate change, awareness, descriptive research, Davao City, Philippines.</p>

Published: February 2016

<p>The speed of movements of the goods and services in a locality is a vital determinant of progress. Many of these goods and services moved through the roads aside from airports and sea ports. It is therefore, of utmost importance that the government provides right services for the benefit of all. The populace’ access to farm products is very important to our daily lives. When these goods are made cheap to the buying public thru improved farm-to-market roads it will be a great help to the people. The provision of an alternate route that will shorten this travel time is therefore welcomed. The proposed coastal road from Toril to downtown Davao is one of the very much possible routes. Studying the feasibility of this project is of utmost importance. Along with the reduced travel time is the savings in fuel and the reduction of wear and tear on many of the moving parts of vehicles. Aside from the beauty that can be contributed by the aesthetics of the proposed project, it can be a pride to Davao City.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Alternative route, coastal road, decongestion of traffic, descriptive study, Davao City, Philippines.</p>

Authors: Josol-Jagape Azeneth 
Published: February 2016

<p>Food supplement capsules are reasonably beneficial to humans. However, to eliminate misconception and misuse, the consumers must be informed of the risk of these products due to their heavy metal and microbial contents. Thus, the primary purpose of this study is to determine the heavy metal level and microbial load of the top five food supplement capsules in Davao City, both for the locally manufactured and imported products. The leading food supplement capsules which were identified through a survey of drug retail outlets were analyzed and evaluated for their conformance to Food and Drug Administration standards, Results showed that none of the leading food supplement capsules locally manufactured and imported conformed to the maximum level of lead (10 µg /g) and Cadmium (0.30 µg /g). Based on the analysis of the samples, lead (Pb) concentration ranges from 10.90-19.97 µg /g and 8.99-24.87 and mean values 13.90 and 13.13 µg /g for both locally manufactured and imported products. Similar findings were noted for the level of Cadmium (Cd) which ranges at concentrations of 2.21-3.20 and 2.00-4.08 µg /g with mean values of 2.82 and 2.71 µg /g for both locally manufactured and imported capsules. On the contrary, Mercury (Hg) level on the tested products were &lt;0.05 µg /g indicating conformance to the standard. Furthermore, results for microbiological test noted that none of the five leading herbal capsules locally manufactured and imported have exceeded the limit set by FDA. Although the products generally meet the standard microbial quality, the alarming amount of heavy metal should be addressed.</p><p> </p><p><br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Heavy metal levels, microbial load, supplement, descriptive, Davao City, Philippines.</p>

<p>The incidence of HIV/AIDS has been on the rise since the discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS in 1984 (DOH).Without effective action, HIV is going to be larger and more difficult to handle. Indeed, school, community and home are essential elements of the world’s response to the disease. The study was undertaken to measure the students’ levels of knowledge and awareness and parents’ openness towards HIV/AIDS issues. It also tried to establish relationship between sex, type of school, parent’s openness and level of students’ knowledge and awareness. The descriptive-correlation method was utilized; data was gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire with validity evaluated and reliability tested. Majority was 16-17 years old, more than half were female; more than half registered an average level of knowledge on HIV/AIDS; many were aware that it can be transmitted; that there is danger in unprotected sex. They were slightly aware that a mother’s milk could transmit the virus Parents never discussed sex with respondents, but warned that drugs and alcohol could lead to unplanned and unprotected sex.Sex, type of school and parents’ openness did not relate with knowledge on HIV/AIDS issues, while on awareness, only the type of school did. Therefore, the role of the school cannot be underscored.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> HIV/AIDS, knowledge and awareness, descriptive research, Davao City, Philippines.</p>

<p>The Philippines has a long history of being conquered by the male-dominated west. We see evidences of these patriarchal politics through our literature. Most of these works are included in the Filipino literary canon. But there is an argument whether or not these required reading which actually perpetuated the sexist myths that prevailed in our society. Every after year, the students are presented with material teeming with sexual stereotypes that students do not easily recognize. Nick Joaquin is typically found in required reading lists. His award-winning novel “The Woman who had Two Navels” (1961) has been read in classrooms usually in the patriotic context. The aim of this study is to reread this classic literary masterpiece, and to identify the female archetypes present within, and to show their anti and pro feminist implications. The researchers used textual analysis to identify the images of women characters present in the novel, juxtaposing them against Female Archetypes based on Johnson’s classifications. Through textual analysis, the researchers provided textual evidences to support the claims. Tables were used as tally sheets. The results showed that the female protagonists depict multiple female archetypes that made the mother-daughter relationship of Concha and Connie very complex. Their contradicting archetypes prove that there is a male constructed competition between them. The novel is clearly more than just Joaquin’s account of the travails of post-Spanish Philippines. It is a reflection of a universal phenomenon of the male constructed competition between women. The archetypes are clearly antifeminist and therefore the novel should be read with care especially in the classroom.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Female archetype, conflicts, Nick Joaquin, Philippines</p><div> </div>
