Ligsanan Balanga City National Science High School, Bagumbayan, Balanga City, Bataan, Philippines *corresponding author: julianrafaeltria371@gmail.com   Abstract The peel of Lanzones (Lansium domesticum) is an underutilized waste generated from the consumption of Lanzones fruits in the Philippines, yet it holds untapped potential for manufacturing other products rather than being discarded. Pectin was extracted from Lanzones peels using four different extraction conditions involving acid hydrolysis: (2 pH, 75 ℃ ), (2 pH, 95 ℃ ), (3 pH, 75°C), and (3 pH, 95 ℃ ). After the completion of all the extraction procedures, the pectin yield was then calculated, resulting in 18.15%, 10.42%, 3.31%, and 4.72%, respectively. After the extraction, the pectin was stored together and used to evaluate and differentiate its properties, utilizing...

  Sitti Nurtina Bina Mandiri , University of Gorontal   Faculty of Government and Public Sector, Indonesia sittinurtina92@ubmg.ac.id ABSTRACT Policies are made to answer the needs of the community, from cities to remote areas. Hopefully, this will be reflected in policymaking in the present and the future. Public policies are governmental decisions and are the result of activities that the government undertakes in pursuance of certain goals and objectives. It can also be said that public policy formulation and implementation involves a well-planned pattern or course of activity. Public policy implementation is an implementation process in terms of realizing public policy goals that have been set by the government. Policy implementation is a practical stage and is distinguished from policy formulation which can be seen as a rhetorical stage. Policy implementation activities will certainly be welcomed with joy by the community if the designation of the policy is truly f...

 Rowena Valerio, Alvin James Gonzales, Adrian Perdio     Abstract   The study focused on the development and evaluation of Carabao mango pulp powder and its applications in food formulations. The study detailed the physical and nutritional characteristics of the developed powder, conducted evaluations of the resulting food items for both sensory appeal and nutritional content and determined their shelf life and cost-effectiveness. The findings revealed that the powder retained crucial pulp qualities and remained stable during six months of room temperature storage, with a yield of 20%. The substantial reduction in volume while preserving essential nutrients offered practical logistical benefits. The powder could be efficiently rehydrated and easily integrated into various food formulations. Products developed using the powder demonstrated nutritional quality comparable to similar market offerings and garnered high sensory acceptance. Incorporating the powde...

  Rowell de Guia University of the Philippines College of Arts and Letters Professor Department of English and Comparative Literature Abstract By comparing the source text (ST) and the translated text (TT), this paper revealed the strategies used and the predispositions in translating the Filipino poem “Liham ni Pinay mula sa Hongkong” in English. The focus was particularly set on the nuances of the poem where discourse creation, borrowing, literal translation, variation, and amplification were observed. These translation strategies caused the TT to diverge from the literary style of the ST but preserved the fundamental content of the text. The findings suggest that in producing the TT, priority was given to the meaning rather than the structure for its message to reach its target audience. Thus, although “Liham ni Pinay mula sa Hongkong” encountered some linguistic detours, its message successfully arrived at its destination.   Keywords: translation techniques, ...
