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....

Macrofloral diversity of Bulabog-Putian Natural Park, Dingle, Iloilo, Philippines
(Silliman University, 2010-01)
Macrofloral species richness, relative density, relative abundance and diversity index of the protected forest and riverine ecosystems of Bulabog-Putian Natural Park, Dingle, Iloilo, Philippines were determined employing the modified quadrat method. There were 68 families, 170 genera, and 218 plant species listed in the entire study area of 0.16 hectare. The riverine ecosystem had a higher species richness (S=137) compared with the protected forest ecosystem (S=126). The top three major families observed in the protected forest ecosystem were Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae, and Annonaceae families and for the riverine ecosystem they were the Moraceae, Poaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Papilionaceae families. Plant genera that belong to the families Euphorbiaceae and Annonaceae dominated the protected forest ecosystem and the plant genera belonging to families Poaceae and Cyperaceae dominated the riverine ecosystem.
Relative abundance in the herb-dominated riverine ecosystem forest ecosystem with values of 43,466 and 7,007 individuals, respectively. Computed diversity index was higher in the riverine ecosystem (H’=3.30) than the protected forest ecosystem (H’=2.69), both categorized as areas of moderate level of species diversity. In the entire study area, 28 (12.84%) plant species are known to have threatened conservation status; three of these are critically endangered, namely kamagong (Diospyros philippensis Desr.) Gurke), prickly narra (Pterocarpus indicus Willd. forma Echinatus), and red lauan (Shorea negrosensis Foxw.). Endemic plant species were inventoried that need to be conserved and protected.
This study provides comprehensive baseline information on the macrofloral diversity of Bulabog-Putian Natural Park. Data gathered from this study will enhance knowledge on biodiversity for the local or national government to implement strong conservation and protection programs for the endemic and indigenous plant species in their natural habitat and to prevent biodiversity loss that may be aggravated by climate change....

Palay: From the paddy to the plate
(Center for West Visayan Studies, 1994)
Palay or rice (Oryza sativa) has been the staple food crop of the Philippines for centuries. As far as historical records show, Iloilo has been one of the leading provinces in the production of palay. When the Spaniards first came to the Philippines in the 16th century, they noted that Panay, particularly Iloilo, was the granary of the archipelago. However, after the port of Iloilo was opened to world commerce in 1855, sugar became the chief export crop of West Visayas, and some areas of riceland in Iloilo were converted to sugarland. The census of 1903 revealed that Iloilo ranked only No. 9 as a rice-producing province. But Iloilo was not to be outdone for long; in 1970, it gained the No. 1 place and has maintained that position up to the present.
Since this conference focuses on the history and culture of West Visayas from 1900 to the present, we shall dwell on the production and preparation of rice from the paddy to the plate for the past 90 years among the people in the lowlands of Iloilo....
