PUP MULANAY PLANS FOR EXPANSION (Based on the Master Plan) An Excerpt from PUP Mulanay Through the Years Written by Dr. Fe B. Rejano-Baronia BACKGROUND I.
HISTORY On The MOA signing was witnessed by Dr. Ofelia M. Carague, Dr. Samuel
M. Salvador, Atty. Honesto L. Cueva and the Municipal Mayors of Bondoc Peninsula Area. The establishment of Pamantasang Bayan paved the way for the establishment
of PUP Mulanay Branch. The establishment of a state university in Mulanay was a brainchild
project of then Municipal Mayor Mariano A. Morales, Jr. He dreamed for a college in the municipality aimed towards the continuous college education of the citizenry
in the far-flung area of
The
With the initial capital outlay of five million pesos, former Mayor Morales and the late Congressman Marquez negotiated for the donation of one (1) hectare of land from the late businessman-philanthropist
Mr. Francisco Q. Bocobo. Mr. Bocobo gave his contribution in the field of education
by donating a land area of one (1) hectare for the school site. The deed of sale of a parcel of land pending segregation was signed on
Prof. Angeles A. Morales, the pioneer director of PUP Mulanay with the help of Mayor Prudencio M. Maxino, Jr. worked
for an additional donation of two (2) hectares of land from Mr. Francisco Q. Bocobo. Mr. Bocobo having a heart for the masses
donated an additional two (2) hectares of sprawling land for the branch structural expansion.
The deed of sale of a parcel of land pending segregation was signed on
PUP Mulanay Branch is strategically located along the national road, a kilometer and a half from the town proper of
Mulanay. Its campus is overlooking
In the first five years of operation (1993-1998), the courses offered were: Bachelor in Office Administration (BOA),

SOLAR THERMAL PLANTS RETURN TO THE DESERTS
When most people think of harnessing the sun's power, they imagine a solar photovoltatic panel, which directly converts
light from the sun into electricity. But an older technology emerged as a leading city-scale power technology in 2008: solar
thermal. Companies like Ausra, BrightSource, eSolar, Solel, and a host of others are using sunlight-reflecting mirrors to
turn liquids into steam, which can drive a turbine in the same way that coal-fired power plants make electricity. 6. OBAMA PICKS A GREEN TECH EXPERT TO HEAD DOE
President-elect Barack Obama ran on the promise
of green jobs and an economic stimulus package that would provide support for scientific innovation. Then, Obama picked Steven
Chu, a Nobel-prize winning physicist, to head the Department of Energy. 7. SOLAR
CELL PRODUCTION GETS BIG, GIGA(WATT)BIG
Every clean tech advocate's dream is a power-generating technology that could compete head-to-head with coal, the cheapest
fossil fuel, on price alone. Nanosolar, one of a new generation of companies building solar panels out of cheap plastics,
could be the first company to get there. Early this year, the company officially opened its one-gigawatt production facility
which is many times the size of most previous solar facilities.
Nanosolar, in other words, has found a process that can scale: it works as well in production as it does in the lab.
That's the main reason that the company has picked up half-a-billion dollars in funding from investors like MDV's Erik Straser.

GREEN CEMENT DEMO PLANT OPENS
Cement?
With all the whiz bang technologies in green technology, cement seems like an odd pick for our top clean technology of the
year. But here's the reason: making cement — and many other materials — takes a lot of heat and that heat comes
from fossil fuels. What is a Netbook?
Mini-laptop computer designed for mobility, wired and wireless online access, word processing and general office applications. Weighing
in at 2-3 pounds (.9 – 1.4 kilograms) and featuring LCD screens between 6-10 inches (15-25 cm), the netbook is
perfect companion for people on the go who want connectivity without lugging much heavier, full-sized laptop along.
Many manufacturers offer netbook models including AsusŪ AcerŪ, Hewlett PackardŪ, DellŪ, MSIŪ and others.
To achieve the lightest weight, netbooks do not have integrated compact disk players. Instead most feature two or more
Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, video-out port, SD card reader, integrated speakers and microphone and headphone jacks. Netbooks also feature built-in camera for video blogging and Skype. Keyboards are 5% - 20% smaller than
standard board, and memory and disk drive space vary, dependent in part on the operating system installed.
Netbooks with less memory and smaller static drives generally feature portable Linux operating system, while models with more RAM and platter drives come preinstalled with Windows XP or Linux.
Portable Linux operating systems can get by with minimum 512 Megabytes (MB) of memory, and as little as 4 Gigabytes
(GB) of internal storage on static disk drive (SDD), though they can also come with much higher specs. netbook with
the XP operating system can have as much as 2 GB RAM and 160 GB platter disk drive, making XP models more expensive
and slightly heavier than leaner Linux models.
The central processing unit (CPU) on the netbook comes in more than few flavors with the popular 1.6 Gigahertz (GHz) Intel Atom being most common as of winter 2008. Other netbook CPUs include the Via C7, Intel Celeron-M, AMD
Geode and AMD Turion 64 x2, to name few. What is IVF – In Vitro Fertilization?

Five Sectoral Planning Councils of DOST(Brief Function and Description) 1. Philippine Council
for Aquatic Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD 1. Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural
Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) PCARRD is one
of the five sectoral councils of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). It serves as the main arm of DOST in planning,
evaluating, monitoring, and coordinating the national research and development (R&D) programs in agriculture,
forestry, environment, and natural
resources sectors. The first DOST council to earn an ISO 9001:2000 certification for its quality management
system, PCARRD is engaged in active partnership with international,
regional, and national organizations and funding institutions for joint R&D, human resource development and training,
technical assistance, and exchange of scientists, information, and technologies.
PCARRD TechnoMart highlights
alternative energy for the food industry
The recent energy turmoil leaves the food industry with one important lesson in resource
management—the need to find alternative sources of energy for various aspects of food processing and packaging. Seeking to assist the country’s food manufacturers and producers, particulalry
those run by small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research
and Development (PCARRD), through its TechnoMart Program, highlighted some of the most recent inventions on the use of alternative
energy during the 8th Philippine Food Expo. Bearing the theme “Strategic regional cooperation towards food self-sufficiency,
the expo initiated by the Philippine Food Exporters Inc. (PHILFOODEX), was held at the SM Megamall in The inventions featured by PCARRD and its partner member agencies include protos,
a stove which uses plant oil; biogas, fuel from waste; biogas digester model; and the kawayan charcoal briquettes.
The inventions were generated by the National Agriculture Resources Research and Development
Network-member agencies, namely: Visayas State University, Baybay, Leyte; University of Southeastern Philippines, Davao City;
Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite; and the Mariano Marcos State University, Batac, Ilocos Sur. As PCARRD’s most recent technology diffusion modality, TechnoMart bridges the
gap between science and technology (S&T)-based enterprises and the thriving industires through business mentoring and
product market matching. 3.

to strengthen the inter-regional health research networking in the regions. Representatives discussed their activities and
initiatives in terms of research and development (R&D), capacity building, information dissemination, and strategies. 5.
Philippine Council for Industry and Energy Research and Development (PCIERD) PCIERD Gets Regional Perspectives for S&T Roadmaps The Philippine Council for Industry and Energy Research and Development (PCIERD) of
the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) will touch base with the regions to come up with S&T roadmaps for specific
sectors so that their views and expectations as regards technologies, services, and support mechanisms are incorporated in
the national S&T programs. The PCIERD kicks off its Regional Consultations on “Science and Technology Roadmap:
Regional Roles and Perspectives” – Luzon Cluster in Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga on February 5, 2009 at the Hotel
Stotsenberg. The regions joining the activity are Regions 1, 2, 3, 4A and 4B, 5, and the Cordillera Administrative Region
(CAR). The objectives set for the consultations are for the regions to know the national sectoral
plans and programs so that these would complement with regional needs and vice-versa. It is also aimed at strengthening
cooperative mechanisms for S&T priority setting and resource rationalization. And while PCIERD has come up with
S&T roadmaps for the food, energy, environment, and construction, it is still best to get the regional views and concerns
on the roadmaps. The consultations will focus on coming up with specific tangible outputs for the food,
energy and environment sectors and the needed intervention areas in S&T. All other development areas like S&T
support services, S&T policies and human resource development will also be discussed. After the Luzon Cluster consultation, PCIERD will move to the Visayas Cluster composed
of Regions 6,7, and 8 to be held in Cebu City on February 17, 2009 to be followed by the Mindanao Cluster (Regions 9,
10, 11, 12 and CARAGA) on March 3, 2009 in General Santos City. The Regional Consultations are part of the 27th PCIERD anniversary celebration on March

problems in the country, particularly iron deficiency anemia (IDA) among children, 7-12 years old, the Food and Nutrition
Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST), in partnership with the Industry, developed an
orange-flavored non-carbonated fortified juice drink and determined its commercial potential. The orange juice was fortified
with vitamins A and C, iron, and zinc based on the Philippine Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) and lysine based on the
US Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) per 200 mL serving size for 7-12 year-old children. Prior to the conduct of the fortification
trials, the potency of the fortificants was determined to establish their correct levels. Laboratory scale trials were conducted
to determine the technical viability of the fortified juice. The juice from laboratory trials was sent to the Industry partner’s

National Statement on the Reproductive Health Bill (HB No. 16) POPULATION MATTERS That population matters is a fact that nobody can disagree with. Population means: FOOD, SCHOOLS, HEALTH SERVICES, HOUSING, WATER, ENERGY, EMPLOYMENT, ENVIRONMENT, LAND, ROADS, TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATION, CHURCHES, LAW AND ORDER, POLITICAL POWER, BUSINESS, PEACE & FREEDOM, SAVINGS RATES, and most of all, HUMAN WELFARE. A small population with large resources means more for everyone. A large population with small resources means less for everyone. A large population with large resources is a state of affairs we probably aspire for but which so far has eluded us. Instead, what we have reaped is POVERTY in its ugliest form. One of every three Filipinos did not even make it to the poverty line. Population affects all these factors and is in turn affected by them. Our Asian neighbors have successfully done something about it. Are we doomed to be the “basket case” in
the Region? At the level of community, a large population also means all those things mentioned above, only in a different scale. It is at the level of the family that all these factors become functioning human dimensions in our lives. National Research
Council of the THE National Research Council of the Philippine Islands was created on December 8,
1933, by Act No. 4120 of the Ninth Philippine Legislature. It was established to promote the advancement of science through
researches and build up a body of Filipino men and women devoted to scientific research. It was to convene regularly as an
organization and formulate national plans to solve problems on health, sanitation, agriculture, industry, and others. A group
