The present study was conducted to compile information on species composition of moths found from Mt. Musuan, Maramag, Bukidnon. The moths were collected using a light trapping method from November to December 2014 on three vegetation types namely grassland, pine trees and mixed dipterocarp vegetations of Mt. Musuan. The study revealed the presence of 29 species belonging to 11 families and 24 genera. The species abundance was recorded highest in mixed dipterocarp vegetation with 6.681 mean individuals, followed by in pine tree vegetation with 3.085 mean individuals and 1.723 mean individuals in grasslands. Sixteen (16) species are randomly distributed which includes Asota Hubner, Amerila Walker, Carriola ecnomoda Swinhoe, Creatonotos gangis Linneaus, Nyctemera baulus Boisduval, Oenistis altica Linnaeus, Gastrina cristaria Guenée, Pingasa chlora Stoll, Taxeotis sp. 1 Guest, Hypomecis Hubner, Pingasa ruginaria Guenée, Pinara sp. 1 Walker, Persectania dyscrita Common, Noctuidae sp. 1 Latrielle, Dudusa Walker and Ourapteryx Leach. Therefore, Mt. Musuan is a home of 29 species of moth belonging to twenty-four (24) genera and eleven (11) families. There are 16 species species of moths that are randomly distributed. Less

This study analyzed the linguistic cityscape of billboard advertisements found in the selected areas in Mandaue City and the occurrence of linguistic compositions and linguistic landscapes in billboard advertisements. This study used a mixed-method. Billboard advertisements along the highways and flyovers in Maguikay, Subangdaku, Umapad, Banilad, Tipolo, and Guizo, Mandaue City were the corpora of the study. A survey was also conducted to verify the effectiveness of billboard advertisements. Results revealed that the English language was the dominant language in the billboard advertisements, while complementary multilingual writing and phrases prevailed among the other types of writing. On the other hand, the emotional appeal was the commonly used advertising appeal in non-official signs. The results suggest that consumers have purchasing power based on emotion. However, they use logic to justify their decision. Less

Seriales fruit is an underutilized wild fruit in the Philippines with promising food production potential, however the usual drawback of processing is the change in the composition or properties of the crop or product. Hence, the study aimed to determine and compare the proximate composition of raw and heattreated seriales fruits. Heat-treatment involves blanching, steaming, boiling and microwave-cooking, which were analyzed for its moisture content, ash content, crude fat, crude fiber and crude protein following standard methods. Results revealed that heat-treatment employed cause a significant difference (p<0.05) on proximate composition of the fruit except for ash and crude fat. High moisture content was identified to boiled and steamed fruits, and the lowest was observed in microwave-cooked seriales. Crude protein and fiber were revealed as having increased values in comparison with the raw seriales fruit. Less
