Cultivating student empowerment through knowledge, inquiry, and innovation
type: item
description: There is an emerging dilemma in current education systems. Traditionally, education systems have been concerned with equipping learners with the necessary information, skills, socialization, and certification to enable them to fit into the societies. But scholars and education policymakers now increasingly appreciate that education should go beyond this scope and engage with developing critical thinking of learners and empowering them to contemplate and create new possibilities for the future.

Knowledge and practice of midwives on screening of preeclampsia during prenatal care in selected health facilities of SAMARICA, Occidental Mindoro
type: item
description: Preeclampsia continues to be a primary cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity worldwide. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge and practice of midwives on screening of preeclampsia during prenatal care, aiming to determine their demographic characteristics, level of knowledge on screening of preeclampsia, level of practices in screening of preeclampsia, and potential relationship between demographic profile and the level of knowledge and practice on screening of preeclampsia. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the knowledge and practices of midwives on screening of preeclampsia during prenatal care in SAMARICA District of Occidental Mindoro. The sample size was 74 midwives. Data were gathered through knowledge-based questionnaires aligned with ACOG and WHO and Maternal and Newborn Quality of Care Survey ANC Observation Checklist.The study revealed that while midwives correctly identified key indicators like hypertension (98.6%) and edema (94.6%), yet 70.3% had a low level of comprehensive knowledge, particularly about the danger signs and risk factors, this shows a lack of awareness regarding essential factors. Similarly, 52.7% demonstrated a low level of clinical practice. Additionally, while midwives checked for edema, only 21.6% followed correct blood pressure measurement and only 12.2% performed regular weighing. Additionally, demographic factors such as age, type of facility and years of experience showed no significant relationship with either knowledge and practice, moreover, statistical analysis confirmed that higher educational degree does not automatically lead to better adherence to screening protocols, while findings indicates that knowledge is the key driver to performance.

Assessing the effects of contemporary fishing technologies on the operational efficiency of municipal fishermen: an analysis of limited technological integration
type: item
description: The paper explored the effects of modern fishing technologies on the operational efficiency of municipal fishermen in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, a region with a well-known marine resource and reliant on fishing as the main source of livelihood. As the pressures of overfishing and environmental change continue to increase, more sophisticated fishing technologies must be embraced to enhance productivity and sustainability in the fishing sector. A total of 30 people were interviewed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques and the sample size of the research was 15 participants representing local fishermen. The proposed subsidy and support program to be used in acquiring technology has been allocated a budget of 28 million pesos. The research found and divided the forms of modern technologies used already such as fish finder, motorized boats, advanced fishing gears, post-harvest preservation methods and digital communication means which all respondents reported their use. The analysis showed that these technologies are playing a key role in enhancing the efficiency of the catch, precision fishing, automated processing and sustainability monitoring, and real-time access to data. Moreover, the suggested subsidy program will provide a 50 percent subsidy on essential technologies, free training workshops, and access to low-interest microloans, which will eventually lead to a higher level of efficiency in operations and sustainability of the environment. This study highlights the pressing necessity of the implementation of modern technologies in the work of municipal fishermen and provides the recommendations that can be implemented to improve the life of local fishers and support sustainable fishermen management. The results highlight the possible socio-economic advantages that may be achieved in such technological solutions, which will be applied to food security and health of the future of the San Jose population in Occidental Mindoro.

Assessing the challenges and implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices of hotels and resorts in Occidental Mindoro
type: item
description: The research assessed the challenges and the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices in Occidental Mindoro's hotels and resorts. One of the main goals was to recognize the obstacles that the management had to deal with regarding the areas of awareness and knowledge, government support, and financial resources; another goal was to ascertain the degree of CSR application in all aspects environmental, philanthropic, economic, and ethical; and lastly, to study the correlation between these variables. A descriptive-correlational quantitative design was employed for the study, and the data were gathered from a total of eighty-three (83) hotel and resort managers through a validated questionnaire and were subsequently analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation. Findings showed that the lack of government support was the main challenge (mean=3.25±1.10), while a lack of awareness, knowledge, and financial resources created difficulties of moderate level. Despite the above constraints, CSR implementation was rated high (mean=3.93±.78) especially in the areas of ethical and economic. Results did not suggest any significant relationship between most of the challenges and CSR implementation which means that hotels and resorts have continued CSR initiatives despite the limitations. Conversely, the study revealed a strong connection between government support and ethical labor practices. The KAMPILAN Action Plan was presented by the researchers with the goal of enhancing CSR-awareness, solidifying cooperation between the stakeholders, and increasing sustainable tourism in Occidental Mindoro to close the gaps.

Experimental and numerical investigation of fiber reinforced composite floating barrier
type: item
description: The study suggested the implementation of a sustainable floating barrier made of densified recycled plastics strengthened with treated coconut coir fiber, combining coastal protection and waste management through an experimental-computational method. Design-Expert was used to optimize the mixture designs, with mechanical behavior and wave attenuation studied with Finite Element Analysis and ANSYS Fluent. Laboratory tests on ASTM-based testing and the modified Rule of Mixtures were used to validate the numerical results. The optimized design mixture exhibited mechanical strength, water absorption, and durability with the conventional HDPE materials of density 0.848 g/cm3, water absorption of 0.63, and compressive strength of 3.98 MPa. The results in wave attenuation demonstrated 14.80%-26.57% reduction with a mean absolute percentage error of 12.29, showing a good correspondence of the numerical and experimental results.

Rizalert: a web application and IoT-integrated emergency response system
type: item
description: Emergency communication needs to be quick and effective in order to have the least casualties and damage. Nevertheless, in most communities, there is a lag in reporting the incidents and getting in touch with the emergency responders because of lack of integrated communication networks. This research has come up with RizAlert, a web-based application and IoT-based emergency response system that aims to enhance emergency reporting, communication, and response management within the Municipality of Rizal, Occidental Mindoro. The system was created through the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology that involved requirements planning, prototyping, iterative testing, construction and deployment. RizAlert has the capability to share real-time GPS location, medical emergency, fires, disasters and crimes, safety status tagging (Safe, In Danger, or Evacuating), emergency warning, and resources on safety preparedness. The ISO 25010 and FURPS software quality standards were used to evaluate the system by selected students, residents, and emergency responders as well as IT experts. The results of the evaluation showed that RizAlert was an effective application in functionality, usability, reliability, performance efficiency and security. Real-time GPS monitoring, the cloud-based data management system, and IoT-based alerts were also integrated to enhance the coordination of users, administrators, and responders. The research finds that RizAlert can be used to improve the effectiveness of emergency response, disaster preparedness and community safety in Rizal, Occidental Mindoro and could be scaled to other municipalities.

Applications of lean principles and operations research models in fish port operations
type: item
description: Fish ports function as critical infrastructure in maritime logistics; however, their performance is frequently hindered by non-linear delays and unoptimized resource management. This research employs a systemic Industrial Engineering (IE) framework to enhance the operational throughput of the Caminawit Fish Port. Utilizing Value Stream Mapping and Pareto Analysis, the study identified that 70% of systemic inefficiencies are rooted in "Methods" and "Manpower" rather than physical capacity constraints. A one-way ANOVA confirmed a statistically significant divergence in bottleneck perception among personnel (p = 0.0024), validating the absence of a standardized operational protocol. To engineer a mathematically validated solution, the study utilized Linear Programming, specifically the Simplex and Big M algorithms, to model an optimal state for the facility. The results demonstrate that adopting a Lean-optimized "Cycle 6" satisfies the mandatory 24-ton monthly demand while reducing total process time from 8 hours to a minimized 8,712 seconds, effectively unlocking a 70% increase in operational efficiency. The model further identified labor as the binding constraint, achieving a maximum objective value of Z (Profit) = 320 units through strategic task reallocation. This research concludes that the integration of IE optimization tools is indispensable for transforming traditional maritime facilities into high-performance logistics hubs, providing a scalable blueprint for regional infrastructure management without the necessity for capital-intensive expansion.

Laying performance of ‘dekalb white’ strain supplemented with various amounts of dried black soldier fly (hermetia illucens) larvae
type: item
description: This experimental study was conducted to determine the laying performance of layer chickens supplemented with various amounts of dried black soldier fly larvae. The experiment was conducted at Upper Lagnas, San Pedro, Rizal, Occidental Mindoro from April to August 2025. A total of 144 heads of layer chickens were reared in the experiment layout in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using four treatments and three replications. The layer chickens were managed following the recommended rate of commercial feeds and DBSFL except for the Treatment 0 (Control). Treatment 1 (96% CF + 4% DBSFL), Treatment 2 (92% CF + 8% DBSFL), Treatment 3 (88% CF + 12% DBSFL). Analysis of variance in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used to test the statistical significance among treatments. Results showed that DBSFL supplementation had comparable effects on laying performance indicators, total egg production, feed conversion ratio, hen-day egg production, mortality rate, egg size, egg yolk color, eggshell thickness, net income and profitability. Although no significant differences among treatments, the 12% inclusion level produced the most favorable performance and achieved the highest return on investment at 20.56%. These findings suggest that incorporating 12% DBSFL in layer diets can enhance productivity and profitability without negatively affecting overall performance.

Growth and yield performance of selected soybean (glycine max) varieties with different tillage systems under Occidental Mindoro condition
type: item
description: This study evaluated the growth and yield performance of soybean (Glycine max L.) under different tillage systems and varieties in the agroclimatic conditions of Occidental Mindoro. The research was conducted from January to May 2025 at the Vegetable Production Project of the Occidental Mindoro State College, Murtha Campus, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. The study employed a 3 x 3 split-plot design within a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The two factors were: Factor A (Tillage System: A1-Conventional, A2-Minimum, and A3-No-tillage) and Factor B (Variety: Tiwala 6, Tiwala 14, and Manchuria). Results showed that the tillage system had no significant effect (p>0.05) on growth parameters such as plant height, number of leaves, and branches. However, soybean variety had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the number of leaves and branches, with Tiwala 14 performing the best. Similarly, tillage had no significant effect on yield attributes, whereas variety significantly influenced the number of pods, seeds per plant, and yield per hectare. Tiwala 14 recorded the highest yield (4.23 t/ha⁻¹). These results indicate that minimum and no-tillage systems are viable alternatives to conventional tillage when using a high-performing variety like Tiwala 14 under the agroclimatic conditions of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.

Integration of indigenous knowledge systems in improving grade 9 indigenous people students' performance in physics
type: item
description: Physics instruction for Indigenous People (IP) students often follows Western format which lacks cultural relevance for them, resulting in low engagement and poor performance. While the integration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) has shown benefits in other scientific disciplines, there is still limited empirical evidence of its effectiveness in Physics. This study addresses the gap by examining the effectiveness of integrating IKS in improving the performance of the Grade 9 IP students in work, power, and energy. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design were utilized to the 30 IP students from Cabugao National High School which were evenly assigned to control (Conventional Teaching Method) and experimental (IKS-integrated) groups. A validated 15-item researcher-made test measured the change in their performance. Mann-Whitney Test was used to analyze for group comparisons and the Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test for the differences within the groups. Pre-test results revealed no significant difference between the two groups, ensuring baseline equivalence. Post-test results, on the other hand, revealed that both groups improved significantly, however, the experimental group attained higher mean scores than the control group, attaining a significant post-test difference. Both methods were effective but the IKS-integrated approach showed higher improvement gains and reduced performance variability, indicating an equitable learning experience, aligning with research showing that indigenized and culturally contextualized lessons significantly improved the performance of the IP students compared to conventional teaching methods. The study concludes that integrating IKS into Physics lessons, particularly work, power, and energy significantly improved the performance of the IP students.

Effectiveness of snackable video clips on the grammar proficiency of OMSC grade 7 dtudents A.Y. 2024-2025
type: item
description: This study addresses the gap by examining the effectiveness of TikTok-based snackable video clips in enhancing the grammar proficiency of Grade 7 students at Occidental Mindoro State College (OMSC). A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was employed with two groups: one receiving traditional instruction and the other exposed to snackable video clips of grammar lessons. A validated 50-item researcher-made test assessed proficiency in subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and prepositions. An Independent Sample t-test was used to evaluate learning gains and determine statistical significance. Pre-test results showed no significant difference between the control and experimental groups, confirming baseline equivalence. Post-test results revealed significant improvement in both groups, with the experimental group achieving higher mean scores compared to the control group, indicating a statistically non-significant post-test difference. While both methods improved grammar proficiency, the TikTok-based approach yielded greater gains and sustained engagement, supporting research that short-form, multimedia-rich instruction enhances learning outcomes. The study concludes that snackable video clips via TikTok are an effective alternative for grammar instruction. It is recommended that schools integrate short-form video content into English curricula, provide teacher training in digital pedagogy, and develop contextually relevant materials aligned with students’ media habits.

Assessing the community perception on reintegration of ex-person deprived of liberty (Ex-PDLs) and community behavior towards them at Barangay Caminawit, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro
type: item
description: The study was conducted to assess the community perception on reintegration of Ex-PDLs and community behavior towards them at Barangay Caminawit, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, consider as one of the key factors in successful reintegration. The study shows that the community shows a favorable attitude on the reintegration of Ex-PDLs and communities remains neutral about the risk and possibility of re-offending of those ex-PDLs. Moreover, a correlation analysis revealed that there is no association between profile of the respondents and community perception on reintegration of Ex-PDLs. The qualitative findings reveal that community perceptions regarding the reintegration of ex-PDLs show feelings of distrust, hope for their positive change, chances to rebuild their lives, and the possibility of re-offending among ex-PDLs. Furthermore, community response to government initiatives for reintegration reveals that failure to address the core needs of Ex-PDLs affects community perspective, lack of livelihood opportunities towards Ex-PDLs breeds negative views, and job opportunities for ex-PDLs is essential to poster positive community perception. Simultaneously, the community evaluation on government initiatives suggested that the success of government programs depend on ex-PDLs and limited efficacy of programs leads to recidivism. In line with that, community suggestions to improve reintegration is the need for community empathy toward ex-PDLs and livelihood support for them.

Incident victim identification system for Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) Sablayan
type: item
description: The Incident Victim Identification System (IVIS) for the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) Sablayan is a developmental capstone study designed to enhance victim identification efficiency during emergencies. It addresses shortcomings of manual and visual methods, which are error-prone in mass casualty scenarios where victims might be unconscious. IVIS provides a secure, technology-driven platform for precise, rapid, and coordinated disaster response using biometric fingerprint identification. This web-based system features secure user management, role-based access, biometric enrollment and comparison, SMS alert integration, and a centralized dashboard for real-time incident tracking. Authorized users—encoders, responders, and administrators—can enroll residents, compare fingerprints against encrypted templates, and generate official incident reports. It also automates alerts to emergency contacts and produces printable PDF victim summaries. Crucially, IVIS ensures ethical and legal compliance, adhering to the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 by using minutiae-based fingerprint templates instead of raw images. For implementation, IVIS leveraged ASP.NET for the frontend, Laravel for server-side processing, MySQL Server for the database, and SourceAFIS for fingerprint verification. XML was used for structured data exchange, and an integrated SMS API facilitated alert functions. Performance testing on a Windows 11 device indicated average response times of 0.8 to 2.0 seconds, maintaining steady performance under five simultaneous users. Security and scalability tests confirmed the system's stability and data protection capabilities. Evaluations, based on ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Standards, involved 60 respondents from the community, MDRRMO, and IT sectors. The system achieved an excellent overall rating of 4.74, with high scores in technology utilization (4.93) and creativity (4.84). These findings validate IVIS's capacity to facil…

title: Development of a water quality prediction model through the utilization of solar-powered phytoremediation water treatment pool in improving the water quality of Pandurucan River, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro
description: The Pandurucan River is vital for agriculture, fisheries, and domestic use in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. However, it is currently suffering from severe water quality issues caused by pollution from surrounding agricultural and residential lands. To improve its water quality, Scatter Linear Regression, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and ArcGIS were utilized in this research to develop a water quality prediction model, analyzing the significant parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, chloride, TSS, nitrate, and phosphate. The Water Quality Guidelines and Effluent Standards of 2016 (DAO 2016-08) were followed during the water quality monitoring, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine parameter weights for map generation. This water quality assessment revealed high chloride and phosphate level contents, low dissolved oxygen, and saltwater intrusion, where all stations failed in the Water Quality Index (WQI), particularly in Brgy. San Roque. Further, the Solar-Powered Phytoremediation Water Treatment Pool efficiently improved all water quality parameters, as visualized in the ArcGIS-based model. This result was validated using the R-squared (R²) method, which ensured that the prediction model efficiently captured water quality variations, being a reliable tool for environmental management.

Effectiveness of online interactive simulation laboratory in improving the performance in motion in two dimensions of Grade 9 students in San Jose Adventist Academy
type: item
description: This study examined the effectiveness of online interactive simulations, specifically the CK-12-Physics Simulation, in enhancing physics education, with a particular focus on the challenging concept of motion in two dimensions. Recognizing the difficulties students encounter with this topic, as evidenced by PISA assessments, the researchers sought to determine if the simulation-based approach could outperform traditional teaching methods. To investigate this, 40 ninth-grade students were divided into two groups: one exposed to interactive simulations and the other following a conventional curriculum. Both groups underwent five learning sessions tailored to their respective methods. Subsequently, all students completed a test on motion in two dimensions. The findings were evident: the simulation group performed significantly higher post-test scores compared to their counterparts. This compelling evidence underscores the superior effectiveness of online interactive simulations in facilitating student comprehension and performance in the domain of motion in two dimensions. The study's results advocate for the integration of such technology into physics instruction to optimize learning outcomes.

Rootstock compatibility of Maguilas F1 to selected high yielding varieties of tomato scion
type: item
description: Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is a globally significant crop, but its cultivation is severely hindered by waterlogging during the rainy season, leading to significant yield losses for farmers, particularly in areas like San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. Grafting offers a promising solution by combining high-yielding scions with waterlogging-tolerant rootstocks. This study investigated the grafting compatibility of three high-yielding tomato scion varieties (Diamante Max F1, Jewel F1, and Garnet F1) with the waterlogging-tolerant Maguilas F1 as a rootstock. Using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in a controlled healing chamber, we evaluated grafting success rate, height increment, and days to callus formation. Results showed that the Maguilas F1 and Diamante Max F1 combination exhibited significantly higher grafting success rates (mean = 82.22%) and greater height increments (mean = 3.47 cm) compared to Jewel F1 and Garnet F1. Diamante Max F1 also consistently formed callus earlier, indicating faster wound healing. While there was no statistically significant difference in days to callus formation across treatments, Diamante Max F1's quicker healing contributed to its superior performance. These findings highlight Diamante Max F1 as the most compatible scion for Maguilas F1 rootstock, offering a viable strategy for improving tomato cultivation during adverse rainy season conditions and potentially increasing farmer profitability and consumer access to affordable tomatoes.

Evaluating the efficacy of edible coating with ginger and seaweed extract as black mold inhibitor for prolonging onion red dragon cultivar shelf life
type: item
description: This study evaluated the efficacy of an edible coating made from ginger and seaweed extract as a black mold (Aspergillus niger) inhibitor to prolong the shelf life of 'Red Dragon' onions. The experiment was conducted from April to August 2024 at the OMSC Food Processing Center and Crop Protection Laboratory, Murtha Campus, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. A Complete Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, testing four treatments on 250-gram samples of onions exposed to Aspergillus niger, replicated three times. The treatments included a control (T0: no treatment) and varying concentrations of seaweed extract (SE) and ginger extract: T1 (100mL SE + 15mL ginger extract), T2 (100mL SE + 20mL ginger extract), T3 (100mL SE + 25mL ginger extract), and T4 (100mL SE + 30mL ginger extract) per 250 grams of onion. The study assessed weight loss percentage, total soluble solids, rotten bulb percentage, and sprouted bulb percentage. Results indicated that the edible coatings managed weight loss and total soluble solids effectively, and all treatments completely inhibited rotting during the study period. Sprouting was minimal, with only the highest ginger extract concentration (T4) showing a slight percentage of sprouted bulbs. The findings suggest that ginger and seaweed extract edible coatings show promise as a natural method for preserving onions, inhibiting black mold, and extending shelf life. Further research is recommended to optimize extract concentrations and assess long-term storage effects.

Growth and yield performance of sweet potato ‘Imelda’ cultivar on different types of coconut-based biochar as soil conditioner
type: item
description: The study explored the result of the utilization of biochar derived from coconut husk, young coconut, and coconut pulp on the growth and yield response on sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). The study is conducted in Occidental Mindoro, where coconut husk and pulp are often treated as waste. The main objectives are to evaluate how these biochars function as soil conditioners, influencing growth metrics such as vine length, leaf count, and fresh biomass, alongside yield factors including the number, length, diameter, and weight of marketable tuberous roots. The research also assessed changes in soil properties, specifically water-holding capacity and bulk density. Employing a randomized complete block design, the study had five treatments: the control (no application of biochar) and four types of biochar (T1-Coconut husk, T2-Young Coconut, T3-Coconut Pulp, T4-carbonized Rice Hull), with 3 sample plants per plot. Carbonization of the coconut substrates was conducted using a steel drum kiln, adhering to established protocols. Sweet potato cuttings with the cut distance 30cm from the tip were planted using a furrow method, ensuring proper spacing and replanting of missing hills. Results showed comparable effects in growth and yield parameters with biochar applications compared to the control, with young coconut biochar resulting in the highest leaf count (mean = 457) and coconut pulp biochar yielding the best overall performance in yield metrics. While all biochar treatments outperformed the control, no significant differences were observed among the biochars, except in tuber diameter. Additionally, application of coconut-based biochar enhanced soil characteristics through increasing water holding capacity and reducing bulk density. In conclusion, coconut-based biochar is an effective soil amendment for sweet potato cultivation, particularly the use of coconut pulp biochar for optimal yield. As this study highlights the potential of using agricultural waste to enhance crop …

Young adults’ exposure to short-form videos and its relationship to emotional stability
type: item
description: Short-form videos are one of the rising trends in social media, conveniently accessible, specifically to young adults. The constant exposure of the users allows them to be subject to possible changes in their emotional stability, risking their mental health. Based on various studies, emotional stability is a crucial predictor of mental health, making it a factor to consider in this study. The study involves 110 young adult college students to determine the relationship between exposure to short-form videos and emotional stability. Mainly, females between 18 and 20 consume short-form videos using Facebook as a platform. Additionally, the students' overall exposure to short-form videos was high. However, it is notable that the respondents' time spent watching short-form videos was low but high in viewing purposes. Although overall emotional stability was high, self-awareness was relatively low. The findings indicated no significant correlation between demographic factors and short-form video exposure; however, a positive relationship between the purpose of viewing videos and emotional stability was noted, despite no correlation between the duration of exposure and emotional stability. It highlights the possible association between intentional viewing, limited duration of consumption, and emotional stability among young adults.

Adolescents’ intention to engage in schistosomiasis preventive behaviors: An application of protection motivation theory in an endemic municipality in Oriental Mindoro
type: item
description: In tropical and subtropical countries, schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical illness that typically affects impoverished rural communities, particularly those with agricultural and fishing populations. Victoria being one of the endemic Municipalities in Oriental Mindoro, adolescents are at risk of infection due to their cognitive and physical development stage. This study investigated adolescents' intention to engage in schistosomiasis preventive behaviors in endemic communities of Victoria, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines, using the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). A descriptive correlational design was employed among 338 adolescents aged 12-19 from 13 barangays. Results indicated a low level of schistosomiasis knowledge among adolescents, with 78.7%. However, they demonstrated a "likely" intention to adopt protective measures in both short-term (3.75±1.14) and long-term (3.81±1.16) scenarios. Adolescents perceived high severity (3.47±0.96) and vulnerability (3.55±1.06) to schistosomiasis, showing strong awareness of the threat. Intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, and response cost, presented neutral scores, suggesting mixed perceptions. Significant correlations were found between PMT constructs and behavioral intentions. Severity, vulnerability, response efficacy, and self-efficacy significantly correlated with both short-term and long-term intentions. The study highlights the need for targeted health education interventions, leveraging social media and healthcare providers, to enhance knowledge and translate awareness into consistent preventive behaviors among adolescents in schistosomiasis-endemic areas.

Navigating the influence of organizational culture on the implementation of management accounting practices in agricultural cooperative: Insights from San Jose, Occidental Mindoro
type: item
description: This study examines how organizational culture affects the implementation of management accounting practices as applied in agricultural cooperatives in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. While agricultural cooperatives have been instrumental in rural development, cooperatives still cited significant challenges when it comes to managing the organization: the key challenges are limited member participation, resistance to change, poor communication and weak financial systems. The study guided by Edgar Schein's Organizational Culture Model and a qualitative case study design, with purposive sampling of 15 purposefully selected members, leaders and stakeholders of the agricultural cooperatives researched. Data were analyzed thematically. The study had the following aims: (1) identify cultural barriers and facilitators in cooperatives, (2) assess barriers and facilitators in the decision to adopt management accounting practices, and (3) provide the cooperatives with a strategic roadmap to improve their financial performance and operational productivity. The results reveal eight central cultural themes cited as barriers: constrained development, limited training opportunities, weak participation; and enablers: democratic governance, sustainable development, inclusiveness and community policies. The study identified three overarching factors – capacity building, financial sustainability, and operational productivity – that are vital to adopting accounting practices. The findings suggest that fostering trust among members and building confidence through transparent structure systematically improves member accountability, and resilience over the long run if cooperatives re-align their values with a documented financial system. It is proposed that cooperatives should invest in leadership and financial literacy training, implement digital accounting systems, and establish stronger internal controls to boost participation, achieve reliable financial reporting, and achieve durability …

Fragility curves prediction of select buildings with soft-story and re-entrant corner irregularities in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro
type: item
description: Since buildings are designed for different needs, this leads to significant irregularities. Predominantly, their response to ground motions concerned their resilience during seismic events. Considering different performance objectives, this research bridged the gap in determining the as-constructed irregular buildings' response against ground motions adapting ASCE provisions in a localized setting. The buildings first underwent finite element modeling considering the as-built plan, structural specifications, and spectral accelerations of Occidental Mindoro. Performing nonlinear static analysis resulted in the pushover curves and subsequently generated the fragility curves by the log-normal distributions of the spectral displacements. Polynomial curve fitting developed the best-fit fragility curves and produced mathematical models. The calibrated models resulted in a very strong correlation (R2 = 0.9994 and RMSE = 0.0321) between the input and the output variables. In addition, a 0.3794 RMSE value resulted in the validation of the predicted models to the code-based fragility curves, giving a very high correlation. Further, for the Ms. 7.1 earthquake, the Hotel A and the Hotel B were expected to be 27.61% and 44.72% damaged, with 33.14% and 33.104% serviceable after the disaster. Thus, based on member checks, Hotel A (soft-story) and Hotel B (re-entrant) buildings were susceptible to magnitude five and beyond earthquakes.

Sources of information of coastal communities in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro towards disaster risk preparedness
type: item
description: This study determine the sources of information used by coastal communities in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro for disaster risk preparedness. A survey questionnaire was distributed to residents in seven coastal barangays: Caminawit, Pag-Asa, Barangay 4, Barangay 5, San Roque, Bubog, and San Agustin, with a total of 382 respondents selected through proportional probability sampling. Data were collected using an adapted survey instrument. The results indicate that the majority of respondents are young adults, predominantly female, and have lived in the coastal communities for 10 to 18 years. Radio, social media, and face-to-face interaction are frequently used sources of information, whereas print media is used less often. Practices related to prevention and mitigation, as well as disaster rehabilitation and recovery, are performed occasionally, while disaster preparedness, response, and early recovery practices are more commonly implemented. The study finds that age and sex significantly influence disaster preparedness practices, and sources of information are significantly related to these practices. It is recommended that authorities increase efforts in prevention, mitigation, and disaster rehabilitation and recovery to enhance overall disaster preparedness in these communities.
