Edgar I. Gay-ya (TUPT)
The goal of this study is to use waste plastic bottle strips as fiber material in
pre-cast concrete canal panels.
This study inter-mixes the use of waste plastic bottle strips as fiber additives.
The raw materials used were the usual components mix including cement, sand, and
G3/8. Waste plastic bottles used in this project is Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
type of plastic or plastic soft drink bottle waste collected from private collection, scavenging and from household consumers.
Laboratory test for cement, fine aggregates, G3/8 were conducted to determine the properties they have, which will be used for trial mix design of concrete cylinder. Plastic bottle strips used in this project is 0.5% and 2.0% as fiber additives.
The results showed that the strength of the samples with plastic bottle strips
attained the specified strength of 4000 psi, a value comparable to pre-cast concrete
canal panels strength Further, the study has ecological impact since plastic soft drink
bottles waste can be utilized as fiber material for pre-cast concrete canal panels, thus
waste of this kind will be minimized.

OF A BATCH PROCESS CONTROL MIXING
Jane E. Morgado (TUPT)
The design and development of a batch process control mixing is a project
that is designed to automate the mixing of three different liquids.
The study is a close-loop system with an interface and a switching circuit that
will control the ON and OFF of three different pumps. It has an ultrasonic level sensor
which serves as a feedback device. The ultrasonic level sensor monitors the level of the
liquids inside the tank. The ON and OFF of the pumps depend on the level of the liquid
inside the tank. A visual Basic Program has been developed to allow the user to input
the required output volume of each pump. There is a real time monitoring of the volume
of liquids inside the tank as well as the process monitoring.

made of locally available materials which can be easily constructed and maintained.
PROTOTYPE OF A HAMMER MILL SHREDDER FOR
BIODEGRADABLE WASTE COMPOSTER
Angelo V. Robles (TUPC)
Solid waste management is one of the priority concerns of every community.
As the community become urbanized, they are expected to generate more waste
brought about by increased production and consumption. This research was conceptualized to help improve methods of waste reduction specifically in the barangay level.
It was conducted to innovate an existing hammer mill shredder in the market so as to
make it more affordable.
The framework of the study includes planning, fabricating or assembling and
testing. The major components of this project are the frame, motor, blade, shooter,
mechanical blower, shaft and collector. The fabricated prototype was designed to help
the composter in reducing the volume of biodegradable waste such as fruit shavings,
vegetable parts and stalks and other materials that easily decompose.
Based from the evaluation of the project, recommendations on the design
concept , both aesthetically and functionally were suggested. The produced hammer
mill shredder proved to be less expensive compared to the commercial ones.
DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE THERMOELECTRIC WATER COOLING
SYSTEM USING PELTIER EFFECT PRINCIPLE
Melchor P. Fernando and Ireneo I. Garcia (TUPC)
The objective of this study is to develop a Thermoelectric Water Cooler System prototype using Peltier Effect Principle. This Peltier effect occurs whenever electrical current flows through two dissimilar conductors, depending on the direction of
current flow, the junction of the two conductors will either absorb or release heat. The
cooling system unlike the traditional refrigeration system are not fabricated using
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) that are harmful to ozone layer. It has no moving parts,
thus eliminating vibration. It uses thermoelectric modules (TEM's) highly efficient heat
pumps, directly converting electricity into cooling power. In particular, thermoelectric
modules utilize bismuth telluride doped in order to obtain positive and negative semiconducting properties, to achieve heat pumping performance.
When connected to a 12 volts D.C., 3 amperes power supply, current causes
one side of the TEM to absorb heat (the cool side) while the other side gives up heat
(the hot side). The container of the water is attached to the cool side which makes the
water cold and ready for dispensing.
This project is also applicable in cars, vans and buses, it will serve as water
cooling system considering its small size and it has less power consumption compared to motorize water cooling system that needs power inversion of 12 V, D.C. ,
power supply of 220 V, A.C. An additional mini fan will serve as cooling system for the
hot side of the Peltier heat sink.
TOYS IN PHYSICS: A TEACHING STRATEGY
Perla P. Montealegre (TUPV)
This study is focused on the use of toys to improve the teaching-learning
situation of Physics education in our country by developing simple strategies to reach
out to the students’ level of understanding. The students are encouraged to learn physics concepts and principles through toys.
Toys are widely used as an effective and engaging way of teaching physics
and mathematics concepts. Toys are chosen as instructional materials because they
are made from indigenous materials which are found in the surroundings.
The methodology employed involves a survey of toys in the community, their
classification according to the main areas of physics, the identification of the physics
principles and concepts implicit in their construction and use, and the design of demonstrations and quantitative experiments.
Exemplar experiments were designed and performed in the laboratory. The
results of these experiments showed the efficiency of the apparatus used though they
were only made out of recycled materials. Through these experiments and demonstration guides physics principles are easily taught and learned because they have fun in
doing it.
INFLUENCE OF PHILIPPINE GRANULATED FURNACE SLAG UPON THE FLOWABILITY AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE
Jedel G. Agron (IRTC)
The influence of ground slag on the performance of fresh and hardened properties of concrete was investigated. The test was conducted in two series of concrete
mixtures. Series A consisted of mixes having varying content of ground slag as replacement ranging 26-60% by weight. Series B contained mixes with varying water
cement ratio ranging .45, .50 and .55% respectively.
The results indicate that for concrete with constant water cement ratio incorporating ground slag as cement replacement resulted in a significant beneficial both on
the slump and air content. It shows that the data indicate a definite beneficial effect of
ground slag on the fresh properties of concrete. Furthermore, compressive strength of
concrete decreases linearly with increasing of ground slag content. The flexural and
tensile strength were affected similarly.
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING (EEL)
SAVING CALCULATOR FOR HOUSEHOLD
Arjun G. Ansay (IRTC)
The Energy Efficient Lighting (EEL) Saving Calculator is a tool intended to
immediately compute and estimate the potential monthly peso savings and power saving on energy consumption when a less efficient lighting system is replaced by a more
efficient system. This project is specifically focus on the changeover of energy efficient
compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) against the incandescent lamps. Incandescent
lamps consume 20% of illumination and 80% heat of power with approximately 750 to
1000 operating hours while the CFLs produce approximately 75% illumination and 25%
heat with more than 5000 to 8000 operating hours. Moreover, 15 watts CFL has
equally illuminated a surface against 75 watts incandescent lamp, thus saving the 60
watts of power.
The EEL Saving Calculator project purposely aimed to help household reduce
their energy consumption by approximately 50% if they will realize the significant of
changing over their less energy efficient incandescent lamps to energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps. Furthermore, this project aimed to contribute to the realization
of the country’s sustainable development objectives and its goal in reducing green
house gas (GHG) emissions in the energy sector. This project was funded by the
United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) through the Philippine Efficient Lighting Market Transformation Project (PELMATP)-Department of Energy.

Irmalyn V. Santos and Rafaela A. Gollayan (COS)
This research mainly aimed to extract oil from melon and chico seeds. It
specifically sought to determine the percent yield of the oil obtained from melon and
chico seeds, to characterize the extracted oil from the sources in terms f the chemical
properties such as saponification value, ester value, and acid value of the extracted oil,
and to conduct physical properties such as solubility of the oil in 95% alcohol, deionized distilled water, chloroform and petroleum ether and to determine the fatty acid
profile of the trans-esterified oil from melon and chico seeds via gas chromatography
analysis.
The percent yield of oil obtained from melon seeds was 16.07% whereas
5.74% was obtained from chico seeds. The extracted oil from melon and chico seeds
were miscible in chloroform and petroleum ether whereas they are both immiscible in
de-ionized distilled water and ethyl alcohol. The saponification value, acid value and
ester value of melon seeds oil are 149.87, 3.67 and 136.19 respectively. A total of 28
standard fatty acids were used as bases of the fatty acid contents of the two extracted
oil samples. Only eight were found present in the oil sample of melon seeds while nine
were present in the chico seeds. The fatty acids present in melon seeds were palmitic
acid 9.4%, stearic acid 4.40%, oleic acid 13.20%, linoleic acid 69.26%, arachidic acid
0.15%, eicosapentanoic acid 1.22%, Docosahexaenoic acid 1.19% and Lignoceric acid

Apollo P. Portez (CIE)
This study was an attempt to look into the predictors of the application of
effective leadership practices of middle managers in the Technological University of the
Philippines (TUP) during the school year 2005 – 2006. This descriptive study used a
questionnaire as a data gathering tool. The frequency, percentage, mean, and standard
deviation were utilized for the descriptive presentation of data. The stepwise multiple
regression analysis was employed to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed the
following: 1.) Majority of the middle managers were middle-aged, female, married, fullfledged master’s degree holders, with five years or less experience as managers, with
management training, more task – oriented as leaders, with prominent human skills and
with a very satisfactory rating (x=4.40) for their application of effective leadership practices. 2.) For school campus size, 5,000 students enjoyed a conducive climate (x=4.05)
and moderately adequate (x=2.95) and satisfactory (x=2.96) facilities. 3.) Human skills,
task – oriented leadership behavior, number of training, technical skills and school
campus climate came out as predictors of the application of effective leadership practices in specific areas. Hence, the hypothesis is partly sustained.

Romeo S. Ebonite (CIE)
The study used the predictive technique in determining the extent of the influence of person – and institution – related factors on the performance, employability,
and productivity of BSIE graduates in the Division of City Schools of Manila. It utilized a
questionnaire as data a data – gathering instrument. Statistical tools, such as frequency, percentage rank, and weighted mean, are used in the descriptive presentation
of data while the stepwise multiple regression was utilized to determine the predictors
of competence of the BSIE graduates. The findings revealed the following: Graduates
from institutions with adequate physical plant and facilities (X=3.33), relevant curriculum
(X=3.41), and competent faculty (X=3.18) are perceived to be competent in terms of
performance, employability, and productivity: the higher the educational attainment of
the employee and the longer the length of service, the greater are the chance and opportunity to get better positions or promotions which are equivalent to better productivity
in terms of remuneration or income; teachers who are assigned to teach in their major
field of specialization; and the more trainings / seminars attended, the greater are the
chances of getting promoted as regular or permanent in their job or position. Hence, the
hypothesis stating that the person – and institution – related factors predict the competence of the BSIE graduates partially upheld.

the Licensure Examination for Teachers, Other findings show that students’ achievements in general education, and major education subjects as well as in the Board Exam
have high relationship to the program structure and management process. These findings led to the rejection of the null hypothesis.
PREDICTORS OF ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF
GOVERNEMNT-OWNED AND CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS
IN EASTERN VISAYAS: INPUTS TO POLICY DIRECTION
Maria Narlyn P. Nombre-Eusores (CIE)
This study aimed to determine if corporation-related factors, managementrelated factors, operation-related factors, and human-related factors would predict the
performance of government-owned and controlled corporations in Eastern Visayas. It
utilized the descriptive correlational design method in finding the effects of the different
factors on the organizational performance as to the use of resources, attainment of
goals, and employee/clientele satisfaction. The predictors of organizational performance of GOCCs in terms of the use of resources are the following: (financial resources)
human-related factors in terms of organizational work values; (material resources) management-related factors as to managerial roles; (human resources) operation-related
factors in terms controlling; and (informational resources) human-related factors as to
personal work values the predictor for the organizational performance in the attainment
of goals is the human-related factor in terms of organizational work values. The predictor for the employee/clientele satisfaction is the operation-related factor as to controlling. Hence, the hypothesis is partially supported by data.

A GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS FOR STUDENTS OF THE
TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES
Rosario V. Nicdao (CLA)
The difficulty of understanding technical words and terminologies in English and
the limited vocabulary in teaching the Filipino language using technical words was a felt
need of the Filipino faculty, hence, this study. This research was conceived to develop a
glossary of technical terms used in electrical, electronics and communications engineering
technology for teachers and students.
Faculty and students were asked to list down technical/technological terms used
in technology courses. These terms were then defined and translated in Filipino. A number
of words and terminologies coming from the faculty and students were selected and tabulated according to nouns, verbs and adjectives and the meaning of each terminology. The
tabulation arrived at two hundred forty five (245) terms. These were evaluated by faculty
members in the College of Industrial Technology with some exclusions like: hall effect,
acoustic bridge, activation, gamma, abohm, deception, twister, wafer and zener diode. As a
result, a total of two hundred thirty six (236) terms were translated in Filipino to support
instruction in shops and laboratories. This from the glossary.
Four (4) techniques of translation by Santiago (1970) were utilized in this study.
These were:
1st – borrowing Spanish words and translating them to Filipino
2nd – borrowing English words with no charge in spelling when translated to Filipino
3rd – borrowing English words and spelled in Filipino when translated, that is
based on the following versions of the Filipino alphabet.
The questionnaire consisted of 2 sets; the first set is a list of terms including their
four (4) possible translations for the respondents to choose from; the set second contains
the list of technical terms defined in English and followed by their corresponding Filipino
translations.
From these questionnaires, technical/technological terms were translated and
submitted to faculty whose expertise is on technology. Certain translations were revised
based on validators’ feedback either through changing, adding or deleting a word, phrase
and clause in a sentence.
After which, the revised items were arranged to develop a glossary on electrical,
electronics and communications engineering courses.
BASIC HOUSE WIRING FOR COMMUNITY RESIDENTS
Emerita Hinojales and Danilo Gacusan (TUPT)
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be a candle or the mirror that reflects it”. Edith Wharton
TUP-T chose to be the candle – to spread knowledge and provide skills to
needy community residents when it offered Training on Basic House Wiring on September 8, 2008.
As part of the campus effort to initiate, pursue and promote effective partnership with Barangay Western Bicutan, 3 faculty members of the Electrical and Allied
Technologies, assisted by senior students conducted the training to 17 community residents.
These trainees were either aspiring electricians or practicing electricians eyeing for growth who needed to augment their stock knowledge on electricity fundamentals. Supported with hand-on exercises, the 3-day activity left the participants wanting
for a sequel to the one just concluded. For them the skills in electricity have to be continuously updated and basic concepts have to be reviewed every now and then to make
their work faster and safer for all.
The skills acquired were meant to turn participants into well-rounded individuals, who can qualify for more jobs and who have a better chance of not being unemployed any time. With augmented talents and skills, more job opportunities can be
availed of to increase their incomes and contribute more to societal development.
The kind of performance that the trainees deliver in the future will somewhat
be the mirror – to reflect back what TUP has done. Such will be a take-off point for the
campus to expand and do more to widen its reach and deliver more and better goods in
the future.
TRIPLE SKILLS OFFERING FOR BARANGAY RESIDENTS
OF WESTERN BICUTAN, TAGUIG CITY
Emerita M. Hinojales, Noe Domanais and Josephine Andong (TUPT)
Job opportunities abound for those with the broadest type of skills. Community residents, intent on increasing their economic capabilities can acquire skills and
augment their inherent talents with more employable tools through a vibrant and effective partnership between a LGU and an educational institution.
Summer 2008 saw TUP-T vigorously pursuing its close linkage with Barangay
Western Bicutan through the offering of 3 technology based courses designed to provide the necessary skills and improve employability levels of the unemployed or underemployed members of the community.
Conducted simultaneously on May 28-30, 2008 by a team of 20 faculty, staff
and senior students, a total of 42 residents gained basic knowledge on livelihood skills
that can help the needy improve their quality of life and turn them into contributing
members of the society.
The Basic Shielded Metal Arc Welding training of the Mechanical & Allied
Technologies graduated 16 participants, Basic Computer Literacy of the Electrical &
Allied Technologies, 21 and Basic Computer Assembly 5 at the end of the program.
After such training, these graduates could tap their new knowledge and acquired skills to land a better job or start a microenterprise. Should there be a need to
sharpen the saw and upgrade their capabilities in the future, TUP-T, as part of its advocacy of poverty alleviation will be willing to come to their support. This is something the
campus must be ready for - as it continues to meet head-on the challenges of a 4-fold
mandate for an SUC.

COMMUNITY EXTENSION: THE TUPV EXPERIENCE
Ma. Leonor F. Validor (TUPV)
TUPV conducted various programs for its community and other stakeholders
for the purpose of extending the services and expertise that the school could offer. The
programs extended include: Coastal-clean up, Feeding and teaching program for the
children, Development of Mini-forest, and conducting Technical Training Programs
among others. These programs were conducted and participated by the faculty, staff
and students of the various sectors of the campus.
The cooperative efforts of the various sectors of the campus produced impact
on the lives of the beneficiaries that cannot be under estimated. It includes: the impact
on the lives of the children touched, fed and taught by the faculty and students who
participated in the feeding and teaching program; the old dumpsite that painstakingly
cleaned so that it will eventually be converted into a park through the coastal-clean up
program; the trees planted under the “developing a mini-forest program”, planting trees
to bolster carbon sink area, an example of what is termed as carbon sequestration, that
helps offset the loss of native forests and fights global warming; the OSY’s who are
now owners of their own shop and some who are employed in different Cell shops, the
additional skill and upgraded expertise of government and industry workers – are the
recipients of the various technical training programs offered by the school.
The services extended by the school through the efforts of the faculty, staff
and students will continue as part of our function and mandate. But it is also our expression to continue to become an inspiration to others, so much so that, being with
children, the OSY and other beneficiaries of the program – the faculty, students and
staff are also inspired. It is TUPV’s pleasure and opportunity to become spirit lifters
and dream weavers.

YO! IGUHIT MO, WAG MAG-EMO
(Outreach Program through Sharing of Painting Skills for the Youth of Sto. Nino,
Calantipe, Apalit, Pampanga)
Almina T. Tengco-Chan (CAFA)
“Yo! Iguhit mo…” is a whole day outreach program by CAFA conducted at
the Christ the Lord Immanuel Church in Sto. Niño, Apalit, Pampanga. Participants
ranges from 11 to 19 years of age, while talented volunteer students from CAFA assisted the painting workshop through peer monitoring.
Volunteer young artists were oriented and equipped by their adviser, Professor Almina T. Tengco-Chan from Fine Arts Department to meet participants’ creative
output in the workshop, while CLIC’s staff graciously prepared the venue and food for
the whole day activity, and prepared an evangelistic crusade in the church right after
the installation of artworks.
“Emo”, short for “Emotional’ defines as a group of white, mostly middle-class
well-off kids who find imperfections in their life and create a ridiculous, depressing
melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majorities don’t need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else
instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment. This, however became a
phenomena across cultures to youth. It is the objective of the activity to divert such
form of expression through creative use of talent through painting.
Furthermore, the activity is in lined with February’s celebration of “Art Month”.

December is a month filled with joys and happiness throughout the Christian
world. It is the most celebrated month of the year where gift giving is everywhere.
Lucky for those people who have to give, but unfortunate for those people who cannot
give because they have nothing. It is in this aspect that “Pamaskong Handog” a giftgiving activity at the College of Liberal Arts is carried on yearly. Actually it is an extension program of the Social Science Organization (SSO) of the college where every
Social Science faculty gave and asked donations in kind from students i.e. pack of noodles or a can of sardines. All these donations were collected and that during the Aurora
tragedy all goods were sent to the victims of typhoon and landslide. And every year
thereafter, the SSO do the same selecting the poorest barangays that needed help.
This year 2008, the Pamaskong Handog was initiated by the Dean of the
College with the participation of all departments, like the English Department, Filipino
Department, the Social Science Department and the P.E. Department and with consortium of the LINGAP (Life Improvement Network for Grassroots Assistance and Progress) headed by Dr. Elvira P. Galng.

clothes, noodles, powdered milk and rice.
The goods were packed and a pack contains 5 canned goods, 5 noodles, 2k
of rice, 1 pack of milk, sugar, 1 pack of coffee, 1 pack of biscuits, soap and some old
clothes for the Aetas.
These 248 packed goods were distributed at Lingap’s office where the recipients wree told to go like the Aetas and the dumpsite families in Calumpit, Bulacan. The
department heads also distributed P20 bill to children while others were given candies.
After the distribution of goods to the people in Calumpit, Bulacan, the CLA
people went directly to the Badjao community under the Sulipan bridge in Apalit, Pampanga where the distribution of goods was given with their care taker Pastor Edwin G.

EMPLOYEES’ CHILDREN AGED 10 AND ABOVE
Emmanuel V. Ragaza and Beverly C. Yabut (CLA)
Basketball as a sport is the most popular and influential game in the country.
In every street corner a ring on board is either nailed a screened within a Meralco post
or hang in any cemented wall of a house or even in a building. This sport provides
physical fitness and vigor to players, thus controlling the possibility for children to engage in different vices like prohibited drugs or liquor.
Thus, this basketball clinic was conceived and implemented last April 21 to
25, 2008. There were 10 children of TUP personnel and faculty who joined this training
program.
The objectives of the program are: 1) to gain physical fitness, health and
wellness; 2) to develop the skills in dribbling and shooting the ball, and; 3) to make
children busy and stay away from dangerous drugs and more.
The first day of the program started with a warm-up exercises or calisthenics
followed by stance proper position and movements and ball handling. On the second
ay, the skill in dribbling was taught and initiated. Passing and receiving of the basketball followed on the fourth day with the skill in shooting. The last day was divided into 2
sessions were testing on the first 3 hours and one hour for the graduation ceremony.
The expenses incurred on this activity was shouldered by the children
amounting to P2,000.00.
One recommendation of parents was to have more days to do a basketball
clinic here at TUP.

INFORMATION AND EDUCATION CAMPAIGN ON THE USE OF CLEAN AND RENEWABLE FUEL FOR THE PHILIPPINE CLEAN CITIES PROGRAM: A MODEL ON
THE APPLICATION OF RESEARCH FOR EXTENSION PROJECTS
Felipe Ronald M. Argamosa (IRTC)
The Integrated Research and Training Center of Technological University of
the Philippines was able to receive a research grant from the Japan Society for the
Promotion of Science in 2002 to conduct a research entitled “Engine Performance
Evaluation on the Use of Coco-Biodiesel in Diesel Engine” in Nihon University, Japan.
The result on this basic research was very favorable especially on the emission performance of the diesel engines. These favorable results has attracted another funding
support from the Department of Agriculture Bureau of Agricultural Research to conduct
a field testing using running vehicles from the Philippine Coconut Authority and California Bus Lines. Again the results of these test was favorable most especially on the
reduction of particulate emissions of the tested vehicles. These very successful laboratory and fields testing projects has attracted the attention of the United States Agency
for International Development for Sustainable Energy Development Program to introduce the Clean Cities International in the Philippines. The Philippine Clean Cities Program is an international cooperation spearheaded by the United States Department of
Energy that promotes the use of renewable and environment friendly fuel. Initially,
there are 5 cities in the Philippines that has joined in these program, they are Baguio
City, Marikina City, Makati City, Iloilo City and Davao City. Thru extensive promotion
and actual demonstration by the IRTC-TUP research group on the actual use of biofuels in their engines these, cities become the pioneers in using biofuels in their vehicles
even before the passage of biofuels act in the Philippines.
