Calugdan, Glen S.
This study was conducted to identify the tree species and the coverage of tree species in Sitio Onas, Santa Cruz, San Miguel, Iloilo. It included the inventories, identification, and assessment of tree species present in the area. Trees in Sitio Onas have coverage of 1,242, 124.97 m2 and a perimeter of 4,812.42 m. Sixty-one (61) tree species were identified in the area and a total of 3,068 trees were inventoried. This included thirty-four (34) forest tree species with the total number of 1,951 trees and twenty-seven (27) fruit tree species with a total number of 1,117 trees. Mahogany and mango species were the most dominant species in the area. The species were classified according to their taxonomic classification, and category and tree specification including the phenotypic characteristic. Trees in the area were affected (to be cut) by the construction of the National Irrigation Administration-Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Dam II which included 136 trees with a net volume of 16.5 m3. Moreover, the losses of tree species were caused by illegal cutting of trees for charcoal and furniture. Implementations of environmental laws are not strictly monitored by the local authorities and Local Government Unit (LGU). The results of this study addresses issues on the adoption, conservation, and management of tree species in the barangay.

Fara-on, Gwen P.
This study aimed to determine the tourists’ perceived support facilities and services and present environmental attributes of Suhot Cold Spring. Specifically, the study aimed to determine 1) the personal profile of the respondents in terms of their age, sex, educational attainment, occupational status, monthly income, number of visit, and type of visit; 2) the observed tourism support facilities and services; 3) the perceived environmental attributes of Suhot Cold Spring; 4) the strengths and weaknesses of Suhot Cold Spring; and, 5) the tourists’ plan for return visit, recommend the site to other tourists and recommendations to improve the Suhot Cold Spring. Data were gathered from 300 randomly selected tourists who visited the site during the conduct of the study using a researcher-made interview schedule. All the data gathered were encoded and analyzed descriptively through the use of Statistical Package for the social Sciences (SPSS). Results revealed that the tourists visiting Suhot Cold Spring were 26 to 35 years of age with a mean age of 33.42 years, males, with post-graduate education, working in private companies, with an average monthly income of PHP 14,161.67, had visited Suhot Cold Spring before usually with friends or family members. They have observed the presence of adequate comfort rooms, adequate cottages, visible presence of law enforcers, adequate tour guides, and very satisfactory road and transportation quality to the area. The tourists respondents perceived the water quality in Suhot Cold Spring as very satisfactory, water volume as sufficient, flora diversity as diverse, fauna diversity as moderately diverse, waste disposal as satisfactory and carrying capacity as high. They considered the coldness of water, coldness of air and nice surroundings as the major strengths of Suhot Cold Spring, and soil degradation, waste segregation and disposal and being crowded sometimes as its major weaknesses. Given the tourists’ perceived strengths and weaknesses of Suhot Cold Spring, the tourists plan to visit again Suhot Cold Spring and recommend it to other tourists. To improve the Suhot Cold Spring as a tourist destination, they recommended the need to modify and develop the place, additional garbage bin, and improve security force.

Paredes, Jefferson C.
This study was conducted to produce and determine the durability of hollow blocks with shredded plastics as additive. The study conducted utilized shredded plastics, specifically Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) as additives in making concrete tile hollow blocks. The plastics were divided into those which were shredded finely and those that were shredded into strips. Three varying amounts of shredded plastics were tested for each type, as 200 g, 400 g and 600 g. Results of the study revealed that concrete hollow blocks made of Cement + sand + gravel + 200 g of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastics shredded into strips has the highest compressive strength while cement + sand + gravel + 600 g of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) shredded finely has the lowest compressive strength. All concrete hollow blocks were rough. The concrete blocks made of cement +sand +gravel was regarded as the most aesthetically pleasing. The concrete blocks made of cement + sand + gravel + Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) shredded finely (600g) was the lightest. Plastics shredded into strips at 200g as additive produced the most durable hollow block and can be a viable additive to increase the durability of hollow blocks.

Tanangonan, Aubrey Clyde C.
This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge and practices about solid waste management among households in Brgy. Poblacion, Leon, Iloilo. The one shot survey design was used in gathering data from 296 households from 7 zones in Barangay Poblacion, Leon, Iloilo using a researcher made questionnaire. All data were processed and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Descriptive statistics like frequency and percentage distribution and inferential statistics like t-test, ANOVA and Chi-square test were used as bases of interpretation. Results of the study revealed that the respondents are generally males, 31 to 40 years old, Roman Catholic, married, have graduated from college, vendors, with an average income of PHP9,797.30 monthly, and a household size of 4 and below. They have a high level of knowledge about solid waste management and moderate level of solid waste management practices. There were no significant differences in knowledge about solid waste management according to the respondents' sex, civil status, and household size, but there were significant differences in knowledge about solid waste management according to the respondents’ age, religion, educational attainment, occupation, and monthly income. There were no significant differences in solid waste management practices according to the respondents’ age, sex, religion, and civil status but there were significant differences in solid waste management practices according to the respondents’ educational attainment, occupation, monthly income, and household size. There was a significant relationship between level of knowledge of the respondents about solid waste management and solid waste management practices. The households generated an average of 2.39 kg of solid wastes per day or about a ton (872.35 kg) of solid wastes per year.
