Identification and collection of indigenous medicinal plants in Barangay Agsalanan, Dingle, Province of Iloilo
(Central Philippine University, 2007-10)
This botanical survey was carried out to classify and identify the indigenous medicinal plants that thrive in Barangay Agsalanan, Dingle, Iloilo and assess their medicinal uses and conservation status, frequency and percentage were the only statistics used in the study. Results showed that 155 plant species are under the 137 genera and 61 families of which 31.61 %, 34.19%, 21.29%, 7.09%, 3.23%, 1.94%, and 0.65% were trees, herbs, shrubs, vines/climbers, grasses, palms, and a sedge, respectively. A relatively higher number of medicinal species belong to Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Solanaceae, Lamiacea, Poaceae and Verbenaceae families. The medicinal uses range from treatment of a simple skin irritation to a deadly tumor and human cancer. Those reported to have anti-cancer property include, among others, Kalauag (Curcuma longa Linn.), Tsaang gubat (Carmona retusa (Vohl.) Masam), Bamban (Donax cannaeformis (Forst, f.) K. Schum), Rosas de Baybayon (Catharanthus roseus L.), Pandakaki (Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir), Lomboy (Syzygium cuminii (L.) Skeels), Bulubito-on (Barringtonia asiatica (Linn.) Kurz.), and Niyog (Cocos nucifera L.). At least 59 (38.06 %) were found to be endangered, threatened, depleted, or vulnerable plant species. Meanwhile, 83 (53.55%) plant species have been assessed as abundant and 13 (8.39 %) were indeterminate in terms of conservation status....

Physico-chemical assessment of the Jalaur River system, Iloilo, Philippines
(Silliman University, 2010-01)
The Jalaur River System was studied for the quality of its water because water quality is a significant and powerful determinant of the health of aquatic ecosystems. This study aimed at investigating the physico-chemical parameters, nutrient load, heavy metal concentrations and pesticide residues of the Jalaur River system. One of the purposes of this study was to develop a database on the seasonal changes in these river characteristics.
Quantitative samples of water, sediments, algae and fish were collected and analyzed during the rainy season (July-September 2009) and the dry season (January-March 2010) from five sampling stations representing upstream, midstream and downstream sections of the 123-kilometer long river. Based on the water quality standard and water classification adopted by the DENR, the Jalaur River stretch can be classified as class C and D. Class C water is for propagation and growth of aquatic resources while class D water is for agriculture, irrigation, livestock watering, and industrial cooling and processing.
The detected levels of metal contamination, mainly Cr, and Pb, in sediments of Jalaur River were found to exceed the geochemical background or threshold levels. Lead and chromium were also detected in filamentous algae (lumot), Azolla, and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) sampled at Moroboro sampling site. No organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids pesticides were detected at the detection limit of the analyses for both water and sediment samples.
The deterioration in the physico-chemical quality and rise in the nutrient levels observed in this study is alarming, and periodic monitoring and preventive measures are required to save the aquatic system of eutrophication. Heavy metal contamination of bottom sediments, algae and fish samples is also a cause for alarm because these heavy metals pose threats to human health. The finidngs have important implications for the development of effective water management strategies and as guide to remediation of efforts for the Jalaur River system....
