Bats are an integral part of our ecosystem. We may not see them very much because they are nocturnal and live a very secluded life.
In the Philippines there are 1, 100 species which can be found in forests, islands and anywhere wherein there are trees for them to live into.
Cebu Island is said to be as one of the degraded areas in the country. Thus, people need to conserve and preserve the species in the locality.
The Bat Species in Camotes Islands, Cebu, Philippines is the study conducted by the researchers of Cebu Technological University looked for the bat species in the Islands of Camotes particularly in Montealegre, San Francisco and Pagsa, Poro.
The researchers found out that there are a total of 101 bats representing three different species of fruit bats. 79 individuals were captured in Pagsa, Poro and 22 in Montealegre, San Francisco. The 55 individuals were the common short- nosed fruit bat (Cynopteros bracyotis), 32 were the common rousette (Rousettus amplixicaudatus) and 14 were the dagger- toothed flower bat ( Macroglossus minimus).
These species were caught within five days. Two days of netting in Montealegre, San Francisco and three days in Pagsa, Poro with a total of 75 net nights, 30 nets in Montealegre and 45 in Pagsa.
This result is considered as the indicator that the forest habitat in the study sites is in disturbed and in degraded condition.
Therefore, the conservation effort of the islands is imperative. The evasion of continuously cutting of trees or kaingin making can help the bat species in the islands be conserved and preserve.

What's Your Summer Fun Style?
If you're totally bored, nothing to do and need something to make you feel comfortable this summer vacation 2011, you don't need to be despaired. There are lots of options that you can take by taking choices for yourself using the following alternatives to make the “WALEY” summer to “HAVEY”.
1. What's your standard summer fashion statement?
A. Super casual. You practically live in faded cut-offs and concert tees.
B. Neat and sweet. Just like strappy sandals.
C. Practical. Why even bother taking your swimwear off until September?
D. Attention-getting. A hot pink tank paired with a purple camouflage mini for women and a black shirt and shorts for men are perfectly a good standout.
2. Which seasonal food most makes your mouth water?
A. A Dairy Queen Blizzard with tons of Health bar bits.
B. A tropical fruit salad with fat-free yogurt.
C. Fresh corn-on-the cob, spread thick with butter.
D. Steamers--you love the taste of those squishy little clams as they slide down your throat.
3. What song best describe your hot-weather condition?
A. "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (Will Smith). It's so laid-back.
B. "Summer Nights" from Crease. You're already daydreaming about being Sandy in your school's play this fall.
C. "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Croft from your mom's old record collection. It reminds you how much you love being outdoors.
D. Joe Cocker's "Summer in the City," which you just heard on the classic rock station. The thought of toes toasting on a hot sidewalk might turn some people off, but not you!
4. What's one essential summer item you can't live without?
A. The hammock tied between two trees in your yard.
B. A light fragrance-you keep yours chilled in the fridge.
C. A wide-brimmed cap for super-sun coverage during your daily jog.
D. Blue cotton candy.
5. Select your summer nightmare scenario.
A. Your mom demands you sacrifice your daily TV routine of talk shows and soaps to "get some fresh air."
B. You arrive at your cousin's pool party to discover another girl is wearing the exact same swimwear as you are.
C. You break your ankle after taking a slide into home base at a softball game and then find out you'll have to wear a cast for the rest of the summer and give up playing 'til next year.
D. Your folks choose to vacation in a musty old cabin in a dull little town, and there's nobody your age in sight.
Playing and following these will make you enjoy but remember what you want to get and have will always be up to you! The important thing is to maximize your time this summer. Taking time for you is great! You work your tail off in school, so recharging all the batteries during break is cool. Keep in mind, though- there is a difference between getting the rest you need and being just plain lazy.

CTU: SURVEY ON CANTEEN PREFERENCE
People’s taste vary on the types of foods, gusto in some delicacies into some food stations. Students in Cebu Technological University Main Campus choose food shops or canteens upon taking their lunch.
In the two chosen canteens found inside the campus, six first year students of Hospitality Management are one of the usual degree eaters in the Multi- Purpose Canteen or verbally known as “Orange Canteen” for its accessibility and observed cleanliness to the foods and products as the say.
In the second canteen which is the Food Preparation Canteen, few students of Bachelor in Elementary Education I-4 opt to eat in this canteen for the foods are cheaper compared to the other canteen which they can afford to purchase such.
Aside from the available canteens in CTU, there are also various “carenderias” found outside the school. These are the Joraj Carenderia and the Dolly Foodhouse. Some first students of Industrial Technology major in Computer Technology prefer to eat in Dolly Foodhouse for they can save in this carenderia due to its low pricing rate yet has the delicious taste of foods according to them.
In Joraj Carenderia, the Bachelor of Science in Development Communication 2-A students are the largest number of students who locate themselves in this food station for lunch because the foods are affordable, they can save, eat much and well and has the variety of options of viands.
While CTU students matter differently, they also have the aspect of having a preference of foods and food stations to pacify their desire of taste.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
Introduction
Rationale of the Study
The inevitable growth of different things in this modern era usually yields bad exemplifications in life. Due to the evolution of man’s wit and skills, various things had been discovered and innovated. One example of which is the existence of media in the world that is somewhat affecting the status of living of the individuals especially to the teenagers. This could be the pace in putting the lives of the teenagers to venture and risk. The influence of the television shows, sexually explicited movies, weakening of the family bond, discarding of values practices and the like can be the reasons for the teenagers to commit sex drive.
Sex drive is a predisposition to seek sexual and sex- related response from one or more others and awakens in early teens and remains powerful throughout life. (Horton, 1984). This is why the number of cases of teenage pregnancy had risen up.
In the Philippines, according to the 2002 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study by the University of the Philippines Population Institute (Uppi) and the Demographic Research and Development Foundation, 26 percent of our Filipino youth nationwide from ages 15 to 25 admitted to having a premarital sex experience. What’s worse is that 38 percent of our youth are already in a live-in arrangement. (http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/lifestyle/lifestyle/view/20080614-142572/Teen-pregnancies-in-the-Philippines)
Some teenagers who underwent teenage pregnancy are 16.5 million who belong to the 15-24 year old age group. We are forced with a glaring truth that at a very young age, a lot of Filipino young people today have children of their own. 30 % of all births belong to this age group and by the age of 20, 25% of the youth are already mothers. (http://www.philippinestoday.net/index.php?module=article&view=1294)
Hence, as observed in the Barangay of Sawang Calero Cebu City, teenage pregnancy is one of the rapid predicaments in the locality. The study will look into the respondents who had experienced this problem and to the perception of the parents with regards to this matter. On the other hand, the result will be posed to the Barangay Officials for them to give action in such a way that this will be mitigated or even solved and to awaken the teenagers especially women from the unconsciousness of the bitter effects and of the decadence of moral values to sexual relationships which is the main reason of teenage pregnancy.
Theoretical Background
Teenagers are meant to enjoy their lives to the fullest for adolescence is the stage to explore, discover and fulfill.
Yet, most of the teenagers are unaware of the things that surround them. Due to the full enjoyment, eagerness and unconsciousness, things that they do ended up to hopelessness. Being a teenager is innate to be immature but despite the immaturity, awareness must always be present no matter what actions that these teenagers are into.
Unfortunately, some teenagers led to failures because of the wrong choice. The population of the teenagers who got pregnant is fast rising. This study seeks a further understanding on the perceptions of the parents, the problems encountered by the teenagers and how this affects to the lives of the teenagers.
The theoretical perspective of this study is based on the Critical Feminist Theory.
Critical Feminist Theory focuses keenly on power relations and linked issues such as the unequal status and privileged accorded to women compared to that accorded to men.
This theory is subsets of two boarder groups of theories: Feminist Theory and Critical Theory.
Feminist theory is patriarchy which is a system that reflects primarily the interests, perspectives and experience of men as a group.
Critical Theory aims to identify prevailing structures and practices that create or uphold disadvantage, inequity or oppression and to point the way toward alternatives that promote more egalitarian possibility for individuals, relationships, groups and societies. (Baxter & Braithwaite, 2008).
When Critical and Feminist Theory collide, the results are, this theory now identifies, critiques, seeks to change inequities and discrimination specifically to sex and gender.
This theory is strongly focusing to the empowerment and to give voice for the women because some women nowadays are victims of human trafficking, sexual harassment and indulged into sex relations that even in the modern era, the victims are getting younger and younger.
Teenagers at the present time became more prone to the crime distinctively to sex- oriented matters. That’s why, the rising growth of teenage pregnancy is rapid in different places may it be internationally, nationally and even in local places.
Theoretical Framework
The focus of the study is to promote awareness on teenage pregnancy in Barangay Sawang Calero, Cebu City.
The problem will be answered by the teenagers who are pregnant or by the people who undergone or experienced teenage pregnancy.

Research Respondents
Women teenagers from 12 to 19 years old and the parents of the teenagers will be the target population of this study. These teenagers will be taken by using a random sampling method that particularly underwent into an teenage pregnancy. These respondents must only be living under the blocks of Barangay Sawang Calero, Cebu City and preferably willing to share their experiences on teenage pregnancy.
Research Instrument
The questionnaire will be the main instrument to use inorder to gather data. This will be composed of two types. The first questionnaire will be for the teenage pregnant women with their profile in terms of their age, gender and educational attainment together with their problems undergone in teenage pregnancy. The second will be for the profile of the parents in terms of their economic condition which includes their perceptions toward teenage pregnancy.
Research Procedures
The researcher will personally administer the pre- testing of the questionnaire to the women teenagers who underwent teenage pregnancy and to the parents of the target respondents to yield an improvement whether it is needed to be added or omitted. The questionnaire will then be revised and be distributed to the same respondents.
Statistical Treatment
The study will be administered using the questionnaire, the frequency of responses will be tallied, collated and tabulated by using these procedures:
1. To determine the profile of the respondents in terms of age and educational attainment and the economic condition of the parents, the frequency distribution with the percentage computation will be used using this formula.
p = f x 100%
n
where:
p is percentage
f is frequency
N is number of cases
100% is constant
2. To analyze and interpret the data of the perception of the parents, the weighted mean will be used using the formula:
x = fw
N
where:
x is weighted mean
f is frequency
w is weights 3, 2, 1
N is number of cases

Weights Descriptive Rating
3 - Strongly Agree (SA)
2 – Agree (A)
1 – Disagree (D)
3. To find out the significant relationship in the perception of the parents regarding teenage pregnancy to t he profile of the respondents (teenage pregnant women and parents), the formula will be used.
x 2 = ( fo-fe)2
fe
where:
fo is observed frequency
fe is expected frequency
x is chi square
To quantify the response category, weights will be assigned as follows:
Weights Descriptive Rating
3- Clearly Manifested (CM)
2- Manifested (M)
1- Not manifested (NM)
4. To identify the problems encountered, the frequency distribution with the percentage computation will be used similar to that of number 1.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
Introduction
Rationale of the Study
The inevitable growth of different things in this modern era usually yields bad exemplifications in life. Due to the evolution of man’s wit and skills, various things had been discovered and innovated. One example of which is the existence of media in the world that is somewhat affecting the status of living of the individuals especially to the teenagers. This could be the pace in putting the lives of the teenagers to venture and risk. The influence of the television shows, sexually explicited movies, weakening of the family bond, discarding of values practices and the like can be the reasons for the teenagers to commit sex drive.
Sex drive is a predisposition to seek sexual and sex- related response from one or more others and awakens in early teens and remains powerful throughout life. (Horton, 1984). This is why the number of cases of teenage pregnancy had risen up.
In the Philippines, according to the 2002 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study by the University of the Philippines Population Institute (Uppi) and the Demographic Research and Development Foundation, 26 percent of our Filipino youth nationwide from ages 15 to 25 admitted to having a premarital sex experience. What’s worse is that 38 percent of our youth are already in a live-in arrangement. (http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/lifestyle/lifestyle/view/20080614-142572/Teen-pregnancies-in-the-Philippines)
Some teenagers who underwent teenage pregnancy are 16.5 million who belong to the 15-24 year old age group. We are forced with a glaring truth that at a very young age, a lot of Filipino young people today have children of their own. 30 % of all births belong to this age group and by the age of 20, 25% of the youth are already mothers.
