3Bernadas Jr. , Celestino NIndigenous Crops and Wild Plants Used as Food by the Palawan Tribe in Southern Palawan PhilippinesIndigenous knowledge system stands the test of time because of its sustainability and applicability. Based on this theoretical construct this qualitative research was conducted in order to identify the indigenous food crops, vegetables and fruits planted on the farm and collected from the wild by the tribal members in Southern Palawan which could be beneficial for dissemination and utilization. The data were collected through site immersion, indirect participant-observation, informal interviews and triangulations method of validation. The study found out that there are 22 food crops considered to be sources of carbohydrates, 13 of these are cultivated; and nine collected from the wild. These are classified as grains, tubers, corms and palm (source of natek, starch/flour). Moreover, there are 63 types of wild vegetables and 37 fruit-bearing plants identified. For the cultivated cereal crops, upland rice is indispensable. The Pala’wan tribe is a rice-eating people. Corn and sorghum are also planted sparingly on the field. In addition, tuber and corm crops are considered best alternative to rice. Leafy vegetables, mushrooms and ubod from palms, bamboo and other plants collected from the wild are important vegetable stuffs. Durian, mante, badak and tabo are the common fruits they eat. The Pala’wan tribe has a reservoir of knowledge regarding food sources necessary for survival. WPU- 2017
4Bitara, Arselene UyamiSpecies richness and abundance of non-cryptic fish species in the Philippines: a global center of reef fish diversity The Philippines is dubbed the ‘global center of marine biodiversity’ for having the greatest number of reef fish species per unit area in the world, mainly based on analysis of museum collections. However, to date, there is no national assessment of the status of Philippine reef fish species based on species abundance and distribution. We conducted underwater visual census belt transect surveys of all non-cryptic reef fish, to explore spatial trends in fish biodiversity and to assess the national status of Philippine reef fish species. We found that most places in the Philippines still hold high numbers of non-cryptic reef fish species, with 54 % of the surveyed transects having ≥22 reef fish species per 100 m2. However, only 13 % of all recorded species had high abundances (≥0.81 individuals per 100 m2) and wide distributions (≥291,964 km2) (category A species), while 33 % had either low abundances or restricted distributions (category B species), and 54 % exhibited both low abundances and restricted distributions (category C species). In addition, 97 % of the large-bodied species (maximum TL > 30.1 cm) were assigned to category B or C—a matter of concern, since 47 % of the recorded large-bodied species in our study are food-fish. The findings of our study present the most recent (2012–2013) national assessment for all non-cryptic reef fish species using standardized methods, and highlight the need for conservation action for many Philippine reef fish species, upon which many Filipinos derive benefits such as food, income, livelihood, and recreation.PSUPhilippines 2015
5Buncag, Mark Joseph JagmisBiodiversity and Indigenous People Amidst Climate Change: The Case of Palawan, PhilippinesClimate change is a change in the state of climate over time, whether caused by natural variability or anthropogenic activities that affect the biophysical environment and our economy, culture, health, security, and others. The greenhouse gas emission in the Philippines increases due to energy consumption, agricultural activities, industrial processes, wastes, and land-use change. Palawan is the largest province in the Philippines with rich biodiversity and is considered the ?Last Ecological Frontier.?The province experiencesimpacts of climate change such as extreme weather, storms, floods, destruction of habitats like mangroves, pests and diseases, disturbances of flora and fauna species, changes in water availability, and changes in aquatic and terrestrial productivity, and others. There are numerous Indigenous Cultural communities in the province likePalaw?an, Batak, Tagbanua, Molbog, Tau?tBato. These tribes commonly practice ?Kaingin? as their primary farming practices but with different belief systems and traditional knowledge and practices. Tribes experience a decline in rice crop harvest from Kaingin farming for subsistence, decline of water availability accessible to the area, a drop of gathered forest products of about 80%-90% based on estimation, damaged property, and reduction of shells and fish harvest. In response, the communities provide adaptation measures such as planting mangroves, using calendar methods for planting, and coastal protection.PSUPalawan 2021

8Dela Pena, Hermenegildo PIntegration of Ecotourism in Small-Scale Coastal Fisheries: Lessons Learned from in Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, PhilippinesThis study examines the ecological and economic benefits derived in transforming a small-scale fishing village of Sta. Lourdes, Puerto Princesa City into a community-based sustainable tourism site catering to about 1,000 visitors a day during the peak season from February to May. The establishment of Honda Bay Boatowners Association was vital in this community’s transformation. Before (Year 2007) and After (Year 2014) study method, which involved key informant interviews, household interviews, focus group discussion and site validation were used. Results indicate that the present condition of mangroves (+25%), beaches (+23%), and coral reefs (+14%) are progressively improving during the past seven years; however, seagrass beds (-2%) near the Sta. Lourdes Wharf are deteriorating due to oil spill from confiscated boats. There is a general view that the bay’s reef ecosystem is gradually restored as dominant catch composition are reef-associated species such as Coastal trevally, Dusky batfish and Golden-lined spinefoot, among others. Majority of fishers’ income source has shifted from fishing to tourist boat service. In 2007, fishing was the major source of income with 54% of boat owners and 61% of boatmen. However in 2014, tourist boat service has become the major income source of about 86% of boat owners and 93% of boatmen. A shift to higher income and more affluent material style of life is evident particularly on the part of boat owners. For inclusive economic growth, the association should establish spin-offs for the benefit of other community stakeholders.PSUHonda Bay, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines 2017

11Gisulga, Jessa BSenosory Characteristics of Vacuu- Fried saba Banana (Musa Balbisiana) In Oriental Mindoro, the production of banana chips has been a productive and profitable business among MSMEs. However., consumers demand of low fat-foods has been growing due to the expanding concerns about the negative health effects of high- fat intake. thus , the the use of vacuum- frying technology is being introduced through the MIMAROPA Food Innovation Center which utilized low presuure and low temperature frying whiel retaining most of the nutrient of the raw fruit or vegetable . This study aimed to devloped the vacuum- fried saba banana and determine the effects of the ripeness on its sensory characteristics. using the threee (3) different m aturities, the unripe, medium ripe and ripe saba banana, the study fopund out that vacuum- fried medium ripe saba banana is the most appealing to the consumer evauators (n=40). However, the vacuum-fried unripe and rpe banana also have good qulality attributed in terms of taste, crisspiness, appearnace MINSUVictoria, Oriental Mindoro 2020
12Gonzales, Artemio Jr. MoradoNutritional Status and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Practices among Buhid Mangyan Tribe, Occidental Mindoro PhilippinesNutritionally adequate and safe complementary feeding starting from the age of 6 months up to 59 months is one of the effective intervention to reduce infant and child morbidity and malnutrition. This study aims to determine the nutritional status of children ages 6-59 months and their caregiver’s infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices of the Buhid community in Rizal, Occidental Mindoro. The design used in this study was a descriptive cross-sectional carried out between December 2016-February 2017. A survey questionnaire was utilized as an instrument in this study. It includes an anthropometric survey of 6-59 months old and infant and young child feeding practices using WHO and UNICEF IYCF indicators. Vaccination, vitamin A supplementation and deworming coverage were also measured. Findings revealed a prevalence of global acute malnutrition (GAM) at a critical level. There is a low but significant prevalence of stunting and underweight among children. There is a good infant and young feeding practice in the community except for the minimum acceptable diet during complementary feeding. Lastly, there is low BCG and measles vaccination coverage in the community that could be a threat to the impending disease outbreak.OMSCOccidental Mindoro 2020
13Gonzales, Artemio Jr. MoradoEmpowering the lowland indigenous community through child health and nutrition program in Occidental Mindoro Province, PhilippinesNutrition and child health programs were integrated into the extension programs from 2016-2018 of the Occidental Mindoro State College, in partnership with the local government unit at the municipal and barangay levels. This paper presents the health extension tools and techniques used in preventative care and the promotion of child health services in the indigenous community of Sitio Bato Singit, in the Occidental Mindoro Province, Philippines. Health education, small group techniques, demonstrations, storytelling, informal talks, and open forums were the methods and techniques employed to implement the program. The common tools used were seating arrangements, flip-charting, props, social hours, and recreation. In terms of the evaluation of the program, child health outcomes remain poor, despite the efforts of the different blocks working within the health system. These programs could enhance their health knowledge and practices in other extension modalities.OMSCOccidental Mindoro 2020

26Perez, David RPalawan indigenous dances:bases for integration of teaching materials for K to 12 curriculumThe study dealt with the ritual dances of the Tagbanuas in Palawan as bases for the development of teaching materials. Likewise, this query tried to document the ritual dances of the Tagbanuas. Descriptive, descriptive comparative and ethnographic methods of research, the writer gathered data from fifty Tagbanuas whose ages were 60 and above and 150 young tagbanuas. Researcher made questionnaire and interview guide were used as data gathering instruments. this was supplemented by observatio and participation techniques. the findings revealed that there were seven rituals that required dances. These were the pagluluma or po'dung, tindeg, kabaraan or pagdidiwata, wedding rites like the Soriano, sungrod, compleano, taming and runsay. the ritual dances were associated to healing, thanksgiving and entertainment. they depicted the lives of the Taganuas. The ritua dances were used to these was to communicate to their dead relatives to help them cure the sick. Also this was used to communicate to thir tiladmanent to bless and protect them. Some of the ritual dances were used for entertainment and the Tagbanuas closeness to nature. The Tagbanuas used local materials in their danes; movements were mostly hand gestures and footwork. these were performed with no specific time to end. the young generation of Tagbanuas were not so familiar with most of their dances, they had favorable attitude towards their preservation on this aspect, it is recommended that efforts should be undertaken by the Tagbanuas themselves to preserve teaching materials that were developed should be reproduced to use by the teachers in the locality and perhaps by those whose interest focus on the culture, customs and traditions of the indigenous people particularly the tagbanuas.WPU- 2015
