This study was conducted to determine and evaluate production, management, marketing practices and the profitability of production of native pig raisers in the three largest island in the Province of Romblon. This study used the descriptive research design, the data gathered were statistically analyzed using frequency/percentage and mean. From the analysis and interpretation conducted it was found out that the oldest pig raisers is 73 years old, female, married, high school graduate, engage in farming with estimated monthly income of P3,000-5,000, having 3 members in the family and manage pigs through personal experience; adopted combination of fattening and breeding, with a meager capital and raised 3- 4 pigs throughout the years of raising swine; breed through natural mating and the source of boar is within the pigpen and others from rental/sharing. The pigs were fed with a combination of commercial, local and leftover feeds using a movable federer. Majority of the piggeries were located at the upland areas, tethered, tied under the tree and the pigpen was constructed at the ground; buried their carcass waste to avoid common environmental issues; and the majority of the pig raisers applied antibiotics to cure diseases in their pigs. The pig raisers always rear pigs to meet emergency household expenses; never sell pigs in terms of barter or exchange of other goods; and due to low cost requirements.
This study was conducted to determine the phenotypic characteristics of native pigs in the province of Romblon. Specifically, it identifies the phenotypic characteristics, morphometric diversity, and effective population size of the native pigs. This study used the descriptive design. The data gathered were statistically analysed using frequency/percentage, mean, regression analysis and correlation. From the analysis and interpretation conducted it was found out that: majority of the snout were long and thin; the head profile was straight; most of the ear type was droopy; the ear orientation were projected forward; have straight hair; the coat color pattern were plain; the coat color was black; the skin were smooth; the tail were straight and the backline was straight except for gilt which is swaybacked. The Shannon Weiner Diversity Index on the phenotypic characteristics of native pigs in the province of Romblon was observed evenly distributed. There is significant relationship observe on the morphometric diversity of native pigs.
This paper examines whether the profile of the respondents: age, number of living children, marital status, income status, employment status, educational background, current feeding practices, and level of knowledge on the importance of EBF affects feeding among infants 0-6 months old. The study uses a descriptive analysis using a normative survey with a study population of 102 mothers from the Municipality of Santa Fe Romblon respondents who were informed and given consent to secure. The result is as follows mothers, whose age ranges from 21 to 25, are the most prevailing, 39%, of the total respondents are practicing EBF. The more children the respondent had higher the percentage of practicing EBF, 55% of respondents say; they are living in with a partner, either married through church wedding, civil or in the state of cohabitation, lower-income mothers (45%) practice EBF more compared to other income class. Mothers without job practice EBF more (51%) exclusive breastfeeding are practiced more by elementary graduate mothers (63%), forty-four (44) mothers out of one hundred two (102) respondents are doing exclusive breastfeeding, at least 63% have revealed little knowledge on the importance of exclusive feeding.
This study was conducted to determine the attributes of Sin Tax Law on the buying behaviors and academic performance of RSU students with smoking habits. It utilized the descriptive method of research in analyzing data and it uses the purposive sampling technique to determine the attributes of sin tax law to the buying behaviors and academic performance of students. Results drawn were number of students who smoked are between ages of 18-19 years old. Most of the respondents are male. Males smoked cigarettes more frequently than female. Majority of the respondents had a general weighted average of 1.75- 2.25. Respondents are aware of on the Sin Tax Law an act restructuring the excise tax on alcohol and tobacco products. The Law significantly affect the buying behavior of the respondents. The prevalence of smoking among college students decreases. Level of awareness of students on Sin Tax Law has significant relationship with their buying behaviors. In addition, the academic performance of the students is not affected by the level of awareness, buying behavior and smoking habits. The implementation of this law must be strictly imposed by the local government and the academe to help in decreasing or even stopping in consumption of cigarettes among college students and to all smokers in the community.
