𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 –What happens when a volcano erupts near the coast—and nobody's prepared for it? The 2020 Taal eruption revealed a critical blind spot in Philippine disaster planning that few had considered: coastal communities’ unique challenges during volcanic disasters. This research delves into Lemery, Batangas—a waterfront municipality caught between Taal's fury and the pandemic's onset—to uncover the untold story of communities navigating unprecedented dual catastrophes.

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 –Every Filipino's breakfast table features the humble pandesal—but did you know each bite might represent another import dollar leaving the country? This research investigates whether arrowroot flour (Maranta arundinacea L.), a locally-grown alternative, could help break the Philippines' dependency on imported wheat while still delivering that perfect morning pandesal experience we crave. By kneading traditional baking methods with innovative local ingredients, researchers put various flour blends to the ultimate test: the Filipino palate. The study explores whether what's suitable for local agriculture might also be suitable for your breakfast table—and whether Filipinos are ready to embrace a more homegrown version of their beloved bread.

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 – Are university students talking the sustainable talk but walking the fast-fashion walk? This eye-opening study dives into the fashion consciousness of UPLB students, comparing those who've taken Sustainability Science courses with those who haven't. Analyzing the gap between what students know about sustainable fashion and what they actually practice, the research investigates whether classroom learning translates to real-world clothing choices or if trendy bargains still win the day.

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 – As we approach Independence Day, a question of financial sovereignty emerges: Why are our cities failing to utilize powerful tax tools that could fund their development? This timely research investigates the dormant potential of special assessment taxes—a land value capture mechanism embedded in Philippine law that remains largely unused despite its promise to transform urban financing. By examining the institutional, financial, and technical barriers through the eyes of Metro Manila government officials, the study explores how reclaiming this overlooked revenue source could represent a new kind of independence for local governments—freedom from financial constraints that limit their ability to create more equitable and self-sufficient communities.

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 – Can Higher Education Institutions bridge critical gaps in Philippine Food and Nutrition Security policy? This systematic review examines the disconnect between food security and nutrition security approaches in Philippine policy frameworks—a division that may hinder effective solutions to one of the nation's most pressing challenges. The study explores how academic institutions might play a pivotal role in developing more integrated approaches to food and nutrition security by analyzing existing policies through the lens of transdisciplinary action, particularly as the country continues to navigate post-pandemic recovery and persistent socio-environmental challenges.

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 – Solar irrigation systems for small-scale Filipino farmers: A transformative opportunity or an unreachable dream? This study investigates the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of transitioning from traditional diesel-fueled irrigation to solar-powered alternatives in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro. While the potential benefits are significant, what barriers prevent widespread adoption? By assessing this critical sustainability question through the eyes of small-scale farmers, this climate-friendly agricultural innovation was analyzed if it can realistically take root in Philippine farming communities despite its promising environmental credentials and long-term economic advantages.

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 – When typhoons intensify, who bear the heaviest burden? The challenges facing coastal communities in the Catanduanes (also known as the Land of Howling Winds), as climate change transforms occasional weather events into frequent, devastating realities, were examined in this study. Through innovative community-participatory methods, researchers mapped the interplay between environmental hazards and livelihood sustainability across Virac's coastal villages over a decade, revealing vulnerability and adaptive capacity variations between seemingly similar communities challenging conventional approaches to climate resilience planning.
