Research Program Title	Assessment and Monitoring of the Designed Structures and Facilities of Coal-Based Plants in CALABARZON
Program Description	The research program throughout its extent shall investigate and examine the overall design of coal-based plants situated in CALABARZON (Region IV-A). The research program will look into the development and utilization of thermal plants as it sets to explore their impact into the natural environment of the designated areas intended for their operations through an investigation into the designed features applied into these industrial facilities and applied mechanisms are to be assessed due to their wide-scale environmental impacts. The outlying estimated findings of the United Nations on coal-fired power plants necessitate this study. With more than 10 Giga tons of carbon dioxide emissions that saturate the Earth’s atmosphere, based from the estimated figures released by the United Nations, that accounts for nearly one-fifth of the world’s overall emissions, the need to examine the local setting compels the creation of this research program. This will shed light into finding the state of the built environment, where the settled built communities depend heavily on coal plants despite their being one of the single largest sources of greenhouse gases which perpetuates largely the occurrence of global warming. This study will also investigate under this program the prolonged detrimental effects brought by coal-based plants and the groups involved leading to the approval of the construction and the role being played by China as the primary funder of these industrial facilities, as opposed to the actions taken by Europe and the United States, where these plants are retired. What necessitates the need to pursue this program is attributed to the following: as mentioned the Philippines is one of the countries in Asia benefitted by China. Given the large population of the Philippines that has already reached a total of 108.12 million (as of 2019 according to recent UN estimates) The state of the operations of coal-fired plants must be examined as they correlate with the country’s rapidly growing economy that must immediately meet the increased demand for energy consumption. Under this research program, the following coal stations in the Philippines with five (5) of them located at CALABARZON Region IV-A are selected as units of analysis: 1. The EGCO Group that operates on a 511 megawatt capacity commissioned in 2000 located in Mauban, Quezon 2. The San Buenaventura Power Ltd. Company Supercritical Coal Power Plant with a 500 MW capacity. This industrial facility was commissioned in 2018 with its operations situated also in Mauban, Quezon; (under construction) 3. The Tokyo Electric Power Marubeni with a 728 MW capacity commissioned in 1996 with its location in Pagbilao, Quezon. 4. The Pagbilao Energy Corporation (PEC) with a 420 MW capacity commissioned in 2018 and the 5. DMCI Holdings with a 600 MW capacity commissioned in 1984 and in 1995 at Calaca, Batangas Also included in this research study, is the proposal for the construction of a 1,200 megawatt coal-fired power plant to be established at the Municipality of Atimonan in Quezon Province. It was originally proposed as a power plant fueled by liquefied natural gas, but the project proponent, Meralco PowerGen, later changed the intended design of this facility where the shift to energy generation turned to coal in February 2015. The project received the approval of the Quezon Provincial legislative council (Sangguniang Panlalawigan). Relevant as well into the topics to be covered by this research program are the responses and reactions of the stakeholders towards the changes made. The extent of the study will include march and prayer vigil called Lakad-Dasal-Bibliya para sa Kalikasan held in June 2015 where church leaders and more than 1,500 protesters opposed to this project. The study will also look into the legal battles behind this event as indicated in the May 2019 decision of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. The highest judiciary of the country accounted for the ruling that all power sully deals entered into after June 30, 2015 must undergo a Competitive Selection Process (CSP). The decision will delay the construction of the Atimonan plant as it undergoes a CSP.

Research Program 1	What’s The Buzz? Expanding The MSEUF Bee Program
Program Description	Quezon province is proud of its honey, and the area is the home of important native bee species of Asian honey bee and giant honey bee. However, despite comparative advantages over other areas in terms of natural resources for beekeeping, no development organization or local entrepreneur has been able to develop innovative or highly profitable beekeeping industry in the area. Thus, current development techniques for rearing native bee species present an opportunity for a fresh approach to community building, ecological education, and conservation. New hive designs and mass production method for Asian honey bee, A. cerana and stingless bee, T. biroi allow for the keeping of these bees in semi-commercial scale and enhancement of their products. Improved management and processing systems limit the destruction of the giant honey bees A. breviligula during honey collection. These same technologies also allowed closer observation of the bees’ biology, making them a very good instructional and research material for personnel and students. Upgrading the current beekeeping instructional and development program will enhance its capacity to deliver beekeeping technologies in Quezon and its immediate vicinity. This multidisciplinary research and community-based extension project aims to promote beekeeping technologies through research and education. This will upscale the existing melliponary of Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF). It will facilitate on-site training to target communities. MSEUF will provide a processing center for honey products and its staff will continuously provide technical assistance to the stakeholders and establish a sound marketing system.

Research Program 2

Tech Talks: Information, Communication, and Education in the Digital Age

Program Description

The speedy evolution of technology has allowed rapid global communication and networking to shape the world economy. These changes have been reframing the way people think and restructuring societies at local and global levels. Where information is just a click away, ignorance is on the verge of dipping the society in the trap of the modernization of communication. Technological change is redefining not only how individuals communicate, but redefining how they need to be educated.

This program therefore focuses on information, communication and education in formal and informal spaces to better understand its implications to the knowledge-based economy. It also considers the range and scope of technology and media and their benefits to individuals and society.

Qualitative methods such as narrative inquiry, ethnography, phenomenology, network analysis along with quantitative approaches will be utilized to delve on the topics.

Research Program 3	Adu: Reinforcing Quezon’s Cultural Uniqueness
Program Description	The diversity of languages in the Philippines is both a wealth and a struggle. The struggle is embedded in safeguarding the vitality of these diverse languages. There is interruption of linguistic heritage transmission when the parents stopped teaching the language to their children. As a consequence, children fail to recognize the intrinsic value of the language of their ancestors and their heritage. Thus, the program aims to help in the safeguarding of these languages and reinforce cultural uniqueness by improving its documentation with the help of information technology, and thereby propose the creation of Native Literacy Center to ensure its preservation. Part of the focus will be the collection and compilation of the vocabulary and literature; instructional materials development; teaching and learning of the mother tongue; and content-based sentiment analysis and opinion classification of their language. Key methods include, but not limited to, ethnography, R and D; discourse analysis; and thematic analysis.

Research Program 4	Adam And/Or Eve: A Probe On Gender and Development Issues and Challenges
Program Description	The program focuses on the issues, challenges and concerns being faced by women, men, and members of the LGBTQ community in the public, private sector and civil society, specifically those who work in various industries, and educational institutions. It also aims to determine the level of awareness and understanding about gender and development programs in the workplace and determine how GAD is fully integrated in the facilities, workplaces, and human resource development programs in the private sector. According to the Center for Global Development, the private sector accounts for the considerable majority of well-paying jobs worldwide. The Center for Global Development is currently focused on beyond-aid approaches to promoting gender equality, and in particular, how the private sector can play a more prominent, active role in improving the lives of women and girls (https://www.cgdev.org/event). According to Ridgeway as cited in Rizzi (2013), gender beliefs influence workplace relations and home relations. In labor market, men are preferred to be hired or even promoted than women. The same is true with married women who have reduced number of working days due to maternity reasons than those men who availed paternity leave. Ridgeway (2011) presents the evidence of a persisting gender inequality in U.S. concerning women's labor market participation, difference in wage, sex segregation of jobs and occupations, discrimination towards housewives and gender inequality at home. In the legal field of gender awareness particularly in Philippine jurisprudence, the Supreme Court held that “it has been suggested that there is some middle ground between the sexes, a ‘no-man’s land for those individuals who are neither truly ‘male’ nor truly ‘female’.” The current state of Philippine statutes apparently compels that a person be classified either as a male or as a female, but this Court is not controlled by mere appearances when nature itself fundamentally negates such rigid classifications (Republic of the Philippines Vs. Jennifer Cagandahan, Gr. No. 166676, 2008-09-12). Methods to be utilized will be ethnography, observation, survey, R and D, case studies, key informant interview.

Research Program 5	Quezon’s Lambanog: Identity and Industry
Program Description	This program is centered in one of the famous local products of Quezon Province, lambanog. Focusing on the fourth agenda, i.e., Politics, Society and Culture Research, of the MSEUF Research, Innovation, Development, and Extension Agenda 2019-2030, the program addresses the global needs, specifically the nationalistic spirit and pride on local products. The program is directly beneficial to the community that produces the product as it is promoted not only locally but also globally. There will be three sets of projects to carry out the program. Project 1 will explore the essential elements that deeply affect the industry. Project 2 will tackle identity and sense making in the lambanog culture. The project is directed towards the socio-political, philosophical aspects of lambanog in the search for the cultural identity and philosophical meaning. And lastly, the third project is directed on the issues and impacts in the social life of people in society. These three aspects, i.e., business, sense making and impacts, will be the avenue for the search for lambanog’s contribution to nationalistic spirit and pride on local products. Moreover, being the subject of few academic papers and research, this program faces a problem of lack written sources and accounts as there are only few dedicated works regarding the subject. Hence, the program will greatly use empirical data through observations, experiments, and interviews from the concerned people.

Research Program 7	Filling in the Gaps among 21^st Century Learners Through Language, Communication and Education
Program Description	Communication is the act of conveying meanings from one entity or group to another through the use of mutually understood signs, symbols, and semiotic rules. Therefore, it is one of the key tools for the 21^st century learners to communicate effectively in the most important life skills. Likewise, language learning not only contributes to students’ education and workplace, but also helps them to develop and widen their capabilities and skills as language learners to take on new and more invigorating view of the world. Thus, learning other languages and understanding the culture of the people who speak to them is a 21st century skill that is vital to success in the global environment in which our students will live and work.

Research Program Title	Peace and Order Toward a Safe Place to Live with Economic Growth
Program Description	Peace refers to absence of hostility, which further refers to an environment that is characterized by healthy interpersonal and international relationships. This represents acknowledgment of equality and fairness. However, peace and order is everybody’s concern. It is not only the responsibility of the law enforcement agencies. Peace and order is an essential ingredient in maintaining economic development, social order and political stability. A condition of peace and order facilitates the growth of investments, generates more employment opportunities and attracts more tourists. Economic development generally refers to the sustained, concerted actions of policymakers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health of a specific area. Crimes, as difficult as they may seem to control much more prevent, should not hamper the concern agencies and the members of the community from trying to come-up with a worthy program to prevent criminal activities to some extent. Crime prevention cannot be expected to deter every criminal element. Rather, crime prevention should be looked up as one aspect of the treatment of a disease. Efforts for crime prevention interventions should employ a wide range of situational measures. The new crime prevention effort focuses not on people who commit crime, but on the context in which crime occurs. Everybody must be concerned to attain peace and order because barring the opportunities of would be criminals will prevent them from accomplishing their evil motives. Criminals must be aware that all sectors of the community are working together to attain peace and order in the area.

But just like any other developments persisting, there are still concerns that are needed to be addressed. Pierce and Cleary (2016) stated that historically implementing, maintaining, and managing computer technology has been extremely difficult for most K-12 educational systems. With this in mind, this project aims to address the pressing needs in the Philippine educational system when it comes to the utilization of technology in realizing the learning outcomes. Moreover, this program wants to pursue projects that are all anchored on ICT-related concerns and issues that are currently experienced by institutions, teachers, and students. In the end, the project looks forward to bridge the gaps between ICT inclusions and concerns to further enhance the students and teachers’ skills as the focus of 21st Century learning.
