Gabriel Jumawan, a 2nd-year BS Forestry student and The Rainforest Publication Photojournalist, along with Miss Erika Noblefanca, a faculty member from the College of Forestry and Environmental Science, achieved 3rd place in the Poster Presentation category at the Higalaay Multidisciplinary Research Festival held in Cagayan de Oro City. Their research, titled "Analyzing Biotic and Abiotic Components in Grassland Areas and Comparing Agroecosystems to Natural Terrestrial Ecosystems at Central Mindanao University," offers a critical examination of the balance between agriculture and the environment.
This study explores the intricate relationships between living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) elements within grasslands and natural terrestrial ecosystems, drawing comparisons with agroecosystems. According to Mr. Jumawan, "By analyzing these interactions, the research seeks to identify sustainable practices that not only maintain agricultural productivity but also enhance biodiversityโa crucial endeavor in the face of environmental degradation and climate change."
Jumawan's presentation shows the importance of this research in informing sustainable land management strategies. By fostering a deeper understanding of how agricultural practices impact ecosystems, the study aims to contribute to a future where human activities coexist harmoniously with nature. "This is my first time attending this type of event, and I am grateful for the new information shared by the panelists. Their dedication towards enhancing the Philippines and its people is truly important to me," said Jumawan.
Congratulations to Mr. Jumawan and Ms. Noblefranca on this remarkable success!

August 28, 2024, 2:03 PM - Central Mindanao University (CMU), Quality Assurance Office.
A roundtable discussion was held at Central Mindanao University to address the grooming policies under the National Service Training Program-Civic Welfare Training Service (NSTP-CWTS). The meeting, attended by university officials, the Supreme Student Council (SSC), various councils and publications, and LGBT community representatives, focused on the controversial grooming policies and their impact on minority groups within the university.
The SSC initiated the discussion by laying out the current state of grooming policies for NSTP. They emphasized that according to the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), the administration holds the exclusive right to implement these policies. The SSC, along with other student regents, noted that the issue of insufficient spotlight on minority groups has been a recurring concern that needs to be addressed as part of responsive governance.
Dr. Eballe mentioned that there had been standing requests from students regarding the grooming policies but acknowledged that the administration has no control over certain aspects..
It was noted during the discussion that some students could face being dropped from subjects due to non-compliance with the grooming standards. The NSTP Director, Mr. Heherson Guinto emphasized that social media is not an appropriate venue for raising these issues, as the school operates as a specialized society. He defended the grooming policies, stating that NSTP is a specialized training program designed to "train good citizens" who can render national service. He also drew comparisons with overseas programs, such as in Singapore, and one should maintain a value system focused on spiritual and moral development. He also expressed concern over compromising the program's direction, questioning, "Naa pa ba mi moral ascendency if we allow this?"
The SSC referenced Republic Act 9163, arguing that the university has the right to adjust policies if they no longer align with the institution's social dynamics, which are continuously evolving. They pointed out the misconceptions surrounding academic and administrative freedom. SSC President Ken also stressed the necessity for change, stating that failing to accept change would lead to stagnation.
Mr. Labrador, SSC Adviser, reminded that the issue is about accommodating these minorities, noting that it does not affect 50% of the population.
Dr. Eballe remarked that while the policies were "okay lang sa sugod" , irregularities during implementation must observed. He also reiterated CMU's conservative stance, asking for a clear control mechanism to manage the situation.
Labrador challenged the moral argument, stating, "I don't see a correlational relation of having long hair with morality." Supporting this stance, Gender and Development (GAD) Development Director Dr. Hazel Marie Boloron further emphasized that hair length has nothing to do with one's value or moral standing, asserting that personal appearance should not be a measure of an individual's character.
Despite the significant discussions, minority representatives were not given the opportunity to voice their concerns during the meeting and further given a separated time to share their experiences. The possibility of extending the deadline for compliance with the hair-cutting requirement was also briefly mentioned but without a specific time.
As the discussion concluded, it was agreed that the administration would review the proposal further. The SSC was given until Friday to construct the necessary guidelines to address these concerns.
This discussion marked the ongoing tension between upholding traditional values and accommodating the evolving social dynamics within the university, it still leaves the future of the grooming policies in question.

Earlier today, a meeting was held at Central Mindanao University's Quality Assurance Office in OASP Hall to discuss issues surrounding gender expression in relation to the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) program under the National Service Training Program (NSTP). The meeting included key university officials such as the President, Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), Supreme Student Council (SSC), College Councils, and various delegates. However, the minority voices, represented by two students preferring to be called "Coz" and "Jai," were not given an opportunity to speak during the meeting. They have now come forward to express their concerns regarding certain policies, particularly those affecting transgender students.
Statement from Coz:
"We're here because of the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS). Sa amo a jod, is, wala me problema sa ROTC or kang sir Guinto, wala jod. Even siya nag ingon siya nako last year nga, ga follow ra siya sa student handbook, so, unsa lugar iya pasabot sa student handbook na wala me kabasa? Iya pajod ko gi ignan face-to-face that wala siyaโy issues with how we express ourselvesโwhether it's the way we dress, use makeup, and more. But during the meeting, iyang gi manipulate inyong mind na about other LGBT na naa nay t*t*y, hmm no, gi manipulate lang niya inyong utok para ma sunod ilang gusto "
Coz further added, " Tas every Saturday iya jod na ipa remind na kanang mga bayot, nay mga ot*n dili baya siya identify na woman daw kailangan jod og gender reassessment para ma tawag na bae ka,naa me friend sa agriculture naa na siyay t*t*y dako na kaayo nag pa putol siyag buhok kay gina manipulate siya ni Sir Guinto nga kanang ipa cut ang buhok. Pero ako na pukos jod kaayo sakong gusto og sa kaugalingon kay I know naa koy kapadulngan jod isip usa ka transgender woman, I know na isip usa ka transgender dili ko kanang pariwara na bayot, I have dreamsโ
Statement from Jai: โWe also ask sa iyaha na ok raba mag wig nalng mig panlalaki para maka follow me sa ilaha ayaw lang jod among real hair putlon, pero mo ana sila na dli jod siya pwede, ana siya naka state nadaw sa policies only male and female, ana pod siya sa orientation na if naa padaw mo bitay, dapat pajod mag paputol, dli purket ga cross-dressed na kay exempeted nadaw."
Jai also shared a personal experience, saying, "I've experienced harassment nay isa ka facilitator na ni singgit na if laki ka laki jod ka, if bae ka bae jod ka, mora kog nahadlok ato motong ni uli ko.โ
Coz and Jai highlighted the difficulties transgender students face in CMU, particularly in the CWTS program. Coz mentioned, "Sa naka apan jod bitaw no, samong mga transgender kay maulaw silag voice out sa ilang gaka experience around the UCC (CWTS) tas si sir ga ingon siya sauna na wala siyay problema sa amo a, karon dako man diay kaayo ang problema, tungod samong buhok. Unsa diay ang buhok diay manilhig?โ
โBefore officer ko sa CWTS, tas ni hawa ko kay mao lage na kay bawal ang bayot, pero iyang (uban) officer kay bayot baya jod pero nag pa opaw kay na pugos para nay position sulod sa UCC (CWTS),โ Coz added.
Despite these challenges, Coz expressed gratitude towards CMU, especially the Supreme Student Council (SSC), for understanding and supporting the concerns of the LGBTQ+ community. "Dili baya nako first choice ang CMU jod ay, pero karon na anam-anam na nako siyag love, labi na kamo taga SSC grabe jod dako jod kaayo akong pasalamat sa inyo," Coz said.
Jai also emphasized that the way students are treated during CWTS training has forced many to comply with hair-cutting policies out of embarrassment. Jai said, "Nganong uban school kay free kay sa ila ang LGBTQ? kay kabalo man jod sila na dli jod siya maka affect, kay amo lang man jod gina wish na dli lang unta among buhok, mo tupad man mes tanan mga task na ilang ipag kuan (hatag) sa amo a kabalo jod me na isa na samong duty as a student dire sa CMU na mo tuman sa ila.โ
Coz added, "Iโve felt discriminated against ever since I entered college, and itโs affected my mental health."
The SSC president further remarked, โI think na ma pugos nalang silag cut sa ilahang hair kay naa ta dire for academics, and then dli man jod ta ka graduate kong dli mo take sa NSTP so wala jod moy choice if dli sila mo sugot.โ The SCC president also added, "We conducted this meeting so that future generations of students at CMU can freely express themselves without facing these issues. This is for us and for the students who will enroll CMU in the future."
The minority voices stressed the importance of treating everyone with respect, regardless of their gender expression. They argued that personal appearance, such as having long or short hair, does not define a person's character. The minority representatives hope that their concerns will lead to positive changes in CMU's policies, ensuring a more inclusive environment for all students

Poses a significant public health challenge globally, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, this vector bite can lead to disease to severe illness and even death to a human. During the rainy season, these arthropod populations tend to increase significantly due to the favorable breeding conditions created by stagnant water. Rainfall provides abundant habitats particularly in areas where water collects in containers, puddles, and low-lying ground. But how can we protect ourselves from this tiny yet deadly bite?
A viral infection called โDengueโ is transmitted primarily by the ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข๐ฆ๐จ๐บ๐ฑ๐ต๐ช and ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข๐ญ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ช๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ด, with an estimated 100-400 million infections occurring annually. Dengue is recognized as the leading cause of arthropod-borne viral diseases worldwide, with severe cases leading to complications such as dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, which can be fatal if not treated properly. (Dengue Fever - Symptoms and Causes - Mayo Clinic)
According to data from the Department of Health (DOH, 2024) Bukidnon's dengue cases in 2024 are part of the overall increase in the Philippines, where 150,354 cases were recorded nationwide from January 1 to August 10, 2024, which is 39% higher compared to the same period in 2023. This data indicates that the mosquitoes responsible for transmitting dengue pose a significant health risk and can be fatal if left unchecked. It is crucial to prioritize preventive measures to mitigate this threat effectively.
Strategies to prevent dengue include:
1. Regularly emptying and cleaning containers that collect water, such as flower pots, buckets, and discarded tires.
2. Ensuring that drains and gutters are debris-free to prevent stagnant water.
3. Covering water storage containers tightly to prevent mosquito breeding.
4. Installing screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of living spaces.
5.๏ฌWearing long sleeves and pants during peak mosquito activity times, such as dawn and dusk.
6. Using mosquito nets at night.
Start implementing these preventive measures in your boarding house and dormitories now. With the rainy season upon us, we must act swiftly to prevent the spread of dengue-carrying mosquitoes. Do we really need to wait until illness strikes before taking action? As the saying goes, 'Prevention is better than cure.' Let's take action now!

The ongoing conflict in Middle Region has far-reaching consequences beyond the immediate human toll.While headlines focus on casualties, displacement, and geopolitical tensions, thereโs a hidden cost that demands our attention: the environmental impact.
As World Environment Day shines a spotlight on the urgent need for land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience, it compels us to reflect on the broader implications of environmental sustainability, particularly in regions beleaguered by conflict. For Palestinians, the intersection of environmental degradation and persistent conflict presents formidable barriers to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The deliberate targeting of Gaza's agricultural land and infrastructure is a critical dimension of Israelโs military campaign. This systematic destruction amounts to what can only be described as an act of ecocide. Farms and greenhouses, essential for local food production, have been devastated. Since the latest onslaught began, Israeli forces have transformed 22% of Gazaโs agricultural land into barren dust. The destruction has not been limited to crops alone; the collapse of wastewater systems, resulting from the deprivation of electricity, has further contaminated the land and water resources, rendering them unusable.
This environmental devastation is staggering. More than 45,000 polluting missiles and bombs have been unleashed, decimating the farmland and agricultural infrastructure. According to satellite imagery studies, this damage is extensive and deliberate, aimed at crippling Gaza's ability to sustain its population. The ongoing massacres and systematic destruction in the region exacerbate food shortages, making the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger, an increasingly distant dream.

The environmental damage from the conflict has profound implications for public health, directly impacting SDG 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages. The destruction of healthcare facilities, combined with water contamination and pollution from military debris, has precipitated a public health crisis. Gaza's already strained healthcare system is overwhelmed, and the environmental hazards pose long-term health risks that will likely affect the population for generations.
Waterborne diseases, respiratory issues from polluted air, and injuries from military debris are just a few of the immediate health concerns. The lack of access to clean water has significantly increased the incidence of bacterial infections, such as diarrhea, especially among children. Reports from EMRO WHO indicate that since mid-October 2023, over 33,551 cases of diarrhea have been reported, with more than half of these cases among children under the age of fiveโ.
The long-term effects, including the potential for increased cancer rates and other chronic illnesses due to sustained environmental exposure, are also deeply troubling.
The compounding effects of these hazards complicate recovery efforts and hinder the region's ability to rebuild and thrive.

The conflict also significantly increased Gazaโs carbon footprint, undermining efforts to combat climate change as outlined in SDG 13. The carbon emissions resulting from the conflict are staggering. In the 60 days following the October 7 Hamas attack, Gazaโs carbon emissions surged by over 281,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. To put this into perspective, this amount exceeds the annual carbon footprint of over 20 of the worldโs most climate-vulnerable nations combined.
The environmental cost of Israelโs military response during this period is equivalent to burning at least 150,000 metric tons of coal. US cargo planes supplying military aid to Israel contributed to almost half of these emissions. In stark contrast, the emissions from Hamas rockets fired into Israel during the same period were approximately 713 metric tons of CO2. This stark asymmetry disproportionate environmental impact of the conflict, exacerbating the already severe environmental stress in the strip.
The situation in Gaza exemplifies the inextricable link between environmental and humanitarian crises. As environmental devastation continues, the local population faces severe challenges in accessing basic needs, which not only affects their immediate health and well-being but also hinders long-term sustainable development. The destruction of agricultural infrastructure leads to food insecurity, health hazards, and increased vulnerability to climate change, creating a vicious cycle of deprivation and suffering.
The international community cannot afford to ignore the ecological consequences of military conflicts. The environmental damage in Gaza is a clarion call for urgent and decisive action. It is imperative to address the humanitarian crisis holistically, recognizing that environmental sustainability is crucial for the regionโs recovery, stability and future resilience.
