This study investigates the determinants of community preparedness for volcanic eruptions in Batangas using an integrated Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) framework. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research combined a structured survey and focus group discussions to assess the roles of hazard knowledge, media reliance, risk perception, subjective norm, attitude, and perceived behavioral control among residents,...

This study investigates the long-run determinants of road accident mortality in the Philippines, focusing on alcohol consumption, rule of law, and infrastructure development from 2000 to 2022. Using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, results confirm a significant long-run relationship, with alcohol consumption showing a strong positive effect. The error correction model indicates that deviations...

This study explores the integration of biodiversity conservation into sustainable tourism through an economic valuation of a coastal pilgrimage destination — Monte Maria International Pilgrimage Center. Combining the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and Travel Cost Method (TCM), the research assesses tourists’ willingness to pay (WTP) for conservation efforts and estimates the economic value of the...

Prior digital pulse width modulation (DPWM) techniques are implemented with numerous D flip-flops (DFFs), which exponentially increase with the resolution and can easily affected by clock skew. This study presents a high-resolution (N = 8) DPWM design that uses a small number of DFFs (The prior architectures used the 2N number of DFFs in their...

This study evaluates the investment environment and tourism potential of CALABARZON, a rapidly developing region in the Philippines. With its growing popularity as a tourist destination, the research examines how investment conditions enhance the region’s appeal. It focuses-es on the connection between investment opportunities and tourism growth, particularly how strategic investments can promote sustainable economic...

Efficient optimization of polymeric materials in fused filament fabrication 3D printing (FFF 3DP) is crucial for productivity, cost reduction, resource conservation, consistency, and enhanced part performance. This study employed a multiresponse central composite design of experiments (CCD-DOE) with the desirability function algorithm (DFA) to optimize printing settings on polylactic acid (PLA) using a commercial FFF...

Urban bicycle tourism refers to the recreational and enjoyable use of bicycles in navigating urban cities like Iloilo City. The city has already established an 11-kilometer cycling infrastructure within its boundaries. It is imperative to maximize its use to combat the negative impacts of rapid urbanization and promote safe and sustainable transportation. This paper shows...

The endangered Pterocarpus indicus Willd., or narra, is one of the priority species for biodiversity conservation and protection in the Philippines. However, no studies were conducted about the impact of provenance in the seedling performance and survival of narra. The present study aimed to address this gap and study the impact of seed sources and...
