Abstract

Chemical in food have become a growing concern, especially among youths exposed to processed and artificial food products. Understanding students' awareness and perception of chemical safety in food is crucial for effective risk communication, policy development, and promoting informed consumer choices. Therefore, this descriptive study was conducted. It aimed to analyze the extent to which students understand the safety of chemicals in food, their perceived risks, and how external influences shape their food consumption decisions. One hundred fifty (150) Senior High School students from two strands participated in this study and were selected using stratified random sampling. A survey questionnaire was used to examine variables related to awareness, perceptions, external influences, knowledge of regulations, and decision-making concerning food chemicals. Descriptive statistics (frequency counts, percentages, and mean scores) are reported for each item. Inferential tests (chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA) were used where relevant to determine relationships and/or differences among subgroups (e.g., HE A, HE B, HUMMS A, and HUMMS B). The study revealed that no significant relationship exists between awareness of food chemicals and actual food consumption decisions. Furthermore, no significant differences in awareness scores were observed across academic strands, nor were significant differences in decision-making found between male and female students. Researchers conclude that schools should expand access to nutritious meal options within cafeterias, ensuring that students have viable alternatives to chemically processed snacks and beverages.

Abstract

The accelerating demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) highlight the need to integrate technological advancements in education, particularly in technical-vocational fields like Drafting Technology. This study employed a descriptive-survey design to assess the competencies, pedagogical practices, and institutional support mechanisms of 35 Drafting Technology faculty members. Results indicated that while faculty displayed strong teaching commitment, subject matter expertise, and capacity to promote independent learning, gaps remained in professional certifications, industry immersion, and access to adequate facilities. Respondents reported active engagement in curriculum review and affective support for students; however, challenges included outdated equipment, limited modern laboratory resources, and uneven credentialing. These findings suggest the importance of continuous faculty development programs to strengthen technological proficiency, pedagogical adaptability, and industry alignment. In response, a one-year Drafting Technology Faculty Development Program was proposed, emphasizing advanced software training, industry immersion, and capacity-building initiatives.

Abstract

This study examines the role of food innovation in the global noodle market, particularly addressing the nutritional limitations of many instant noodle products. It emphasizes the need for healthier alternatives to meet the growing demand from health-conscious consumers. Specifically, the study advocates for the development of high-protein noodle variants enriched with local flavors, such as "Tuyong Tawilis" (dried Sardinella tawilis), to enhance both nutritional value and market appeal. The innovative noodle variant's quality and safety are ensured by thorough evaluations that involve sensory analysis, physico-chemical, and microbiological investigation. This highlights the importance of flavor theory and new product development in meeting consumer preferences and promoting innovation. The study uses a quantitative approach with 220 respondents—experts and students—selected by convenience sampling to create, execute, and assess the "tuyong tawilis" flavored noodles. The research methodically applies the Input-Process-Output (IPO) Model. The results indicate "tuyong tawilis"'s potential as a major flavoring component and physicochemical as well as microbiological analysis verify its safety and adherence to consumption guidelines. Sensory assessments support the created product's acceptance by showing a moderate like for a variety of features. In summary, the study presents a novel and well-received flavored noodle product that satisfies changing customer preferences without sacrificing quality or safety. It helps the dynamic food business by combining traditional local flavors with contemporary tastes. It also offers potential pathways for healthier and more pleasant noodle alternatives, helping to shape the continuous evolution of culinary goods in the market.

Abstract

This study addresses the development of an automated egg incubator with backup power supply that could benefit farmer communities through the developmental research approach. A prototype is developed to respond to the needs for uninterrupted incubation which is affected by the frequent power outages that reduce its efficiency in egg handling. In this project, the automated egg incubator with a backup power supply is designed to hatch a capacity of 150 eggs (75 setters and 75 hatchers) every 21 days, ensuring continuous operation even in the absence of a consistent power supply. An inverter, connected to a battery, ensures a 12 hr uninterrupted power supply, maintaining a warm internal environment. The thermostat-controlled heater regulates the incubator’s temperature within the range of 36 °C–38 °C. In case of a power outage, the incubator can seamlessly switch to grid power during brownouts, maintenance, or the rainy season. Based on rigorous testing, the incubation period is confirmed at 21 days, with an initial hatch rate of 70%, increasing to 80% in subsequent tests. The average chick weight, measured a few hours after hatching, stands at 40.8 g. To assess its practical impact, the researchers extended the device to a local game-fowl farmer, resulting in substantial income generation and improved breeding efficiency. Beyond direct economic benefits, the automated egg incubator represents a novel technological achievement, showcasing how science and technology can empower communities, foster economic growth, and contribute to the greater good within a practical context.

Abstract

This article evaluates the opportunities and challenges of the Tulong Dunong Program (TDP), a government-sponsored program that seeks to provide access to education for disadvantaged Filipino learners in the Philippines. The research tackles contextual literature, from international to local, on how far TDP has expanded education access, an offshoot of which has decreased the dropout rate and increased socio-economic mobility. This research employs a systematic literature review to analyze the impact and challenges of the TDP of the Philippines. The dominant thematic categories that emerged were the positive effect of financial assistance on performance and retention, the importance of financial literacy to gain from the program, and hindrances such as delayed payment, insufficient funding, and bureaucratic inefficiency. Based on the review, it is shown how the TDP has managed to even the playing field in terms of providing access to tertiary education to various marginalized groups by eliminating cost as a limiting factor; there still exist, however, barriers that need to be addressed so that the TDP can realize its vision. The recommended policy interventions include augmented funding, simplification of application procedures, enhanced outreach activities, implementation of sound monitoring and evaluation systems, and inclusion of financial literacy training. These will help promote better implementation of the program and ensure that it continues to provide equitable opportunities to Filipino students, as a part of community empowerment and national development. According to the findings of the study, the TDP turned out to be one of the best instruments of the Philippine government in democratizing higher education toward inclusive development for the communities, notwithstanding its weaknesses.
