Most of the technologies generated especially on machines were geared towards the advocacy on organic farming. Also, there is a strong support of the university in the implementation of R.A.100681 an act providing development and promotion of organic agriculture in the Philippines. Technology transfer was facilitated to several communities in the province of Ilocos Sur. A total of 325 farmers benefited and adopted the technologies. Organic fertilizers produced by farmers were utilized in their respective farms and another source of livelihood to some where they go into mass production of organic fertilizers and were sold in local market. Further, the adoption of technologies by farmers gained strong support from Local Government Units (LGU) from the provincial level to village level, the Provincial Agriculture Office, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and non-government organizations. The utilization of research-based technologies generally helped farmers in improving their productivity in yield and in income. Also, there is an effort towards the protection of the environment and reviving soil fertility. Keywords - technology adoption, research-based technology, farmer productivity, research utilization

Its presence in every home justifies its indispensability to the Ilocano cuisine in Philippines. This project surfaced from an expressed need of one or fish paste processor from Santa, Ilocos Sur. The designed machine has a capacity of 24 liters. To document the comparative performance per model, the ANOVA was done. All three manifested significant results. Usual squeezing time ranging from 30 to 45 minutes, then followed by another 15 minutes for bottling with the manual method. The first model did both squeezing and bottling in 5min, 24 seconds while the second model further improved to 3 minutes, 6 seconds. The mechanized mode facilitate the bottling and squeezing process and lessen the manual handling to ensure more sanitary bottled Fish paste products, and the one directional design of squeezing is the most efficient method. The cost of Fish paste production for a one year period was Php 2, 481, 526 pesos and an annual estimated net income of Php 1, 100, 000 was obtained. A 100% return on investment was completed, and the payback period is only less than two months. Keywords - Marketing technology, food processing, Ilocos Sur, Philippines

Further, it intends to package Biogas technology such that it will be utilized at house hold level. This is to offer an alternative fuel source to various users of LPG which is very expenses nowadays. Also, this is in response to the problem raised by the farmer's Biogas producer that only a part of the cooking burner can burn and release heat and most of the released heat consumed by heating the surplus methane. Biogas producers used (LPG) burner however, LPG is different from Biogas composition, and when burners designed for LPG gas will be used, poor flame produced. Also, the technology's goal is to showcase Biogas stove burner with good combustion in the atmospheric form utilizing hog waste. The technology utilized LPG cooking burner (two burners) which was Vol.

They are classified as micro and small furniture industry. Before, only few of them have complete equipment like commercial band saw which is very expensive. It cost from Php 100,000 to Php 150, 000 depending its size. Micro furniture makers sought assistance from furniture metal craft experts for possible fabrication of locally made band saw. With similar function as of the existing commercial one. There were 48 micro furniture makers adopters since 2005. Common furniture’s produced by the adopters are chairs, gallinera, pillow rodes, doors, beds, dining tables, sala sets, cabinets and divider. Volumes of production are based on market demand, chairs had the highest. Cost of furniture production sold revealed by 75 percent of the adopters were at the range from Php 30,000 to Php 69, 999 and 25 percent of the adopters estimated cost amounting form Php 70, 000 to Php 100, 000 per month. Gross revenue generated disclosed that 41.67 percent of adopters were earning Php 50, 000 to Php 74, 999. Results showed that an ROI of 26.65 percent based from average monthly income and cost of production incurred by the adopters of locally fabricated band saw.

The study aimed to assess the implementation of Solid Waste Management Program of Vigan City Province of Ilocos, Philippines. Specifically, it focused on identifying its solid waste recovery facility, type of wastes and its practices segregation, collection, disposal and utilization of wastes.Solid waste management practices such as on segregation was religiously followed by all constituents however, hazardous waste were treated in accordance to existing laws of the DENR and DOH. Collected wastes were segregated at the recovery site. Utilization of wastes includes production of organic fertilizer from compostable wastes, collected plastic containers were processed into plastic tables/monoblocks, cellophane were used as a cotton substitute for pillows, used as material for making souvenir items while paper waste were converted into paper pulp which can use as cooking fuel. Scrap iron and metals collected were so...

The eight participants-wives of fisher folks of the study were residents of Caoayan, Sta. Catalina, and Santa, Ilocos Sur, respectively, for 3-5 years, at any age during the data gathering, married to fisher folk, and capable of expressing self. Key themes arose from the data, mainly self-worth and manifestations of empowerment. The central theme that appeared from the study is that the participants as a wife, mother, neighbor, and as a member of the society perform responsibly their multifaceted undertakings. Relevantly, the participants are also enjoying their right as women in terms of making choices. Likewise, their being wives of fisher folk do not prohibit them from joining social organizations. The result of the study poses a challenge to the government: 1) The Local Government Unit (LGU) staff shall encourage the wives of fisher folk to cont...

Acquiring automotive skills requires the integration of knowledge in different related subjects. This means that the effectiveness of training in technological courses may depend upon the ability of the students to communicate in English and Filipino, which have been able to move with the international scientific technology and cultural development. This study aimed to determine the performance of the Two-Year Trade Automotive Technology students. The descriptive correlational method of research was used. The Two-year Trade Technical Automotive students have “fair” level of academic performance. The student respondents performed well in auto-electrical wiring, engine tune-up and diagnostic testing with an overall automotive skills performance of 83.66%. The performance of the students is not significantly influenced by the education of parents. The respon...
