KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

PROF WILLIAM J. MC CLUSKEY William McCluskey is reader at the School of the Built Environment at the University of Ulster in the United Kingdom. Currently William McCluskey is a full professor at African Tax Institute, University of Pretoria, South Africa. He researches international property tax systems, valuation and assessment, local government finance, and computer-based mass appraisal.

THE PROPERTY TAX: ITS DEMISE OR RENAISSANCE – AN ISSUE OF SUSTAINABILITY?

Prof William McCluskey

African Tax Institute, University of Pretoria, South Africa

The concept of deriving tax revenue from real property is one that appeals to all levels of government. There is something inherently simple and logical about the idea of paying for government services to property in some proportional amount related to the characteristics of that property, be it its value, its size, its location or any of a number of other reasonably discernible elements. The history and simplicity of the concept may well have given rise to one of the first axioms of taxation, namely, “Any old tax, is a good tax”. Arguably the major prerequisite for ad valorem taxation is a well-functioning property market. In turn, a major prerequisite for a well-functioning property market is widely available, accurate information on market activities – both for the valuers to determine the value in the first place, and the taxpayers to be able to access an independent yardstick to check the fairness of the tax. Countries with an infrastructure of well-established legislation, a history of secure land tenure, highly developed administrative processes, and advanced systems of information technology represent a very distant ideal compared to countries with underdeveloped property markets, legislation, land tenure, land administration and information technology; and in particular those countries lacking an integrated Land Information System. This paper will focus on international experiences, in terms of (1) the importance of the property tax; (2) property tax administration; and (3) property tax reform from the perspective of developing countries. In terms of the last point issues that will be important include, property tax reform requires strong political and operational support; property tax reform must be undertaken on a comprehensive basis, integrating policy and administration; property tax reform must be implemented strategically; property tax reform must involve a simplification of policy and administration, and property tax reform should effectively utilize information technology. Some of the research questions to be addressed will include; how the property tax can be effectively administered when capacity is an issue; can administration be shared between different levels of government; and how far can the revenue envelop be pushed.

ALIGNING CORPORATE PUBLIC ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR THE SOCIETY

Hishamuddin Mohd Ali

Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Corporate Public Assets (CPA) constitute all movable and immovable government assets ownership, in use to provide service delivery to the society accordingly. Decisions of CPA include site selection, building and facility design and space utilization, inevitably affect government’s operations and future operation expenditure. Major cuts in budget allocation by the government calls for the government agencies (GA) to initiate revenue generation to cover operational expenses. At the same time, being required to provide the most suitable property assets in support of core service delivery requirements for the society. The fundamental issue in effective CPA strategy is lacking knowledge of how the CPA function is addressed in the GA community to assess the relative CPA society benefits in supporting the agency’s performance. This presentation aligns CPA strategy towards high performance assets in supporting the highest quality of service delivery to the society. Four main components of CPA strategy are strategic thinking, sophistication of implementation, performance evaluation and reporting prepared for continuous improvement. CPA strategy must be systematically addressed and implemented in realizing social benefits of public assets such as community satisfaction, sufficiency, functionality, safety, environment, affordable and utilization.

His latest study relates on public infrastructure through public private partnership in Indonesia.

REALIZATION OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AS PRODUCTION ACCELERATOR IN ECONOMIC SECTOR (INDONESIAN EXPERIENCE – CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS IN ACCELERATED INFRASTRUCTURE

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS)

Rizal Tamin Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia

The Indonesian government has been focusing on infrastructure construction as its main national development program. In a five years period from 2015 to 2019 infrastructure development budget has been planned to reach IDR 5,519 T, which is twice higher than the previous period. The implementation of this program requires an enhancement of project management capability, productivity, quality management, as well as work safety and health assurance. Unfortunately, this accelerated development has suffered from an increase of construction accidents. During a thirteen-month period from August 2017 up to August 2018 as many as 19 construction accidents have happened that caused losses consisting of damage of facilities under construction, injuries, as well as loss of life. A Construction Safety Committee has been established to investigate these accidents, to monitor and evaluate high risk construction work, and to formulate a policy recommendation to solve the problem. Fault Tree Analysis is planned to be applied to model work accident modes that in turn allow accidents’ root causes to be identified. Collected preliminary data analysis reveals unprecedented potential sources of construction accidents notably related to lack of rigorous project implementation, not only during the construction phase but also during the whole infrastructure project life cycle.

INSPIRING 21ST CENTURY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT VIA SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Prof. Mohd Hamdan Bin Haji Ahmad

Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

What kind of learning environment is suitable in the 21st century for Education 4.0? A challenging question that require designers to have a forward thinking. The future usually unknown but predictable based on various indicators, changing scenarios and advancement in technology. The future challenges include Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0. On the other hand, issue on climatic change demand greater attention. So how then the future learning environment be aligned with the changing technology and society but still sustainable? The paper discusses possible strategies and probable outcomes of sustainable future learning environment. The guiding principle will be Low Carbon Society blueprints, sustainable development and green buildings practices in addressing the need for education 4.0 and the physical and nonphysical learning environments.

CORPORATE LAND STRATEGIES FOR PEOPLE HOUSING INITIATIVES

Megat Mohd Ghazali Megat Abd Rahman School of Professional and Continuing Education

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Corporate land management is often linked to ensuring that firms obtain a reasonable return as expected, maximizing shareholder wealth and being committed to capitalism. But the fact that strategic corporate land management is very important to ensure that capitalism desired can be achieved and at the same time able to function to bestow on the benefit of the public. The prosperity of the organization through its corporate land management should be shared with the community through an effective and creative mechanism. At the same time, the issue of insufficiency of housing to the people is a very hot issue debated and deserve special attention. In addition, the lack of public housing coverage is solely on the government’s shoulders. Therefore, this study highlights the functionality of strategic corporate land management as a people housing initiatives. This is expected to be a guide to property development business in order to plan for high return- oriented investors for development project while at the same time able to achieve social responsibility to the people in meeting the demands of public housing. A conceptual model of people’s housing initiatives through a strategic corporate land management was formed in this study. Implementation of this conceptual model will be a proposal for property development business in order to work together to address the issue of unsustainable housing. This study suggests for the government to introduce a special tax treatment for willing property developer whom take part in organizing people’s housing initiatives as part of distributing the organization wealth for the community. Keywords: Corporate land management, people housing, property developer

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT AT DISASTER PRONE AREAS TO REDUCE DISASTER RISK IN THE FRAMEWORK OF NATIONAL RESILIENCE IN

INDONESIA

Nasfryzal Carlo and Eva Rita Postgraduate Program of Bung Hatta University

The republic of Indonesia lies on “the ring of fire” area, causing a lot of regions in Indonesia vulnerable against disaster such as earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, flood, landslide, etc. Based on the situation and condition, the people of Indonesia must live along with the potential and risk of disasters. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent and detect the disasters early to minimize the impact of them. People must be informed and warned continuously to get ready to face any possibility of disaster. It can be done through community empowerment. Empowerment program is conducted with the target to create disaster resilient village. The empowerment has been conducted in 370 villages for three years. The result shows that people knowledge on the danger and threat of disaster increased; community alert groups in villages were established, and some community action plans were made. However, these haven’t realized the main resilient village in the allocated time. Some recommendations were proposed to improve the program of community empowerment in the disaster-prone areas. Keywords: disaster risk, Indonesia, resilient village, ring of fire

SUSTAINABLE ISLAMIC LEARNING INSTITUTIONS THROUGH FACILITIES MANAGEMENT APPROACH

Ibrahim@Atan Sipan

Centre for Real Estate Studies Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Islam has placed a high premium on education and has enjoyed a long and rich intellectual tradition since its inception. Knowledge occupies a significant position within Islam, as evidenced by more than 800 references to it in the Quran. On top of that, given the political turmoil worldwide and the ever-present fears of extremism and terrorism, promoting intelligent debate and understanding of Islam and the role of Muslims in the contemporary world is increasingly vital. It is a crucial 21st century issue and there is a growing recognition that Islamic studies has become a subject of strategic importance in a multi-cultural society. This scenario has brought into the significance of development of Islamic learning institutions such as mosque, madrasah and tahfiz institution to cater the needs and demands for Islamic education. Typically, social, physical, psychological or cultural factors involved in a learning environment deeply affect the learners’ learning capabilities. Thus, a conducive learning environment to gain new knowledge or skills is vital for learners to remain engrossed or interested. Moreover, an ideal learning setting encourages the interaction within learners and instructors and eventually establishes a sense of support. Hence, this paper aims to provide an insight on the potential of facilities management (FM) approach to support the Islamic learning institutions by providing conducive learning environment for long-term benefits. A combination of desk study and interview approach was employed. Interview sessions with several management of Islamic learning institutions have led to the development of research variables.

DEVELOPING A GIS – BASED LANDSLIDE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM AS INPUT FOR BLISTT DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Florence Leslie L. Campolet

ECE Department, Saint Louis University, Bonifacio St., Baguio City, Philippines. [email protected]

Objective: Early warning systems (EWS) are recognized as life – saving tools for disasters. Baguio, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba and Tublay collectively known as BLISTT is highly susceptible to rain-induced landslides yielding 34.663 billion pesos for damages and 1652 fatalities from 1997 to 2011 alone. The general public mainly rely on weather forecasts and storm signal warnings in monitoring strong typhoons and heavy monsoon rains responsible for these life – threatening calamities. There are few studies conducted on spatial analysis for developing landslide EWS and it is under this vein that the study was undertaken. Research Design: The purpose of the study is to identify hotspot areas for landslides using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) and to develop a Geographical Information System (GIS) – based EWS by measuring and comparing historical levels of daily rainfall intensity over landslide locations. Findings: Data and results revealed that hotspot areas are triggered by average rainfall thresholds over 200mm. These areas are identified by landslide locations close in proximity, with greater rainfall density estimates signified by “red” regions in the map area. The map produces a more refine version when overlain with existing geohazard map and can be accessed online with the latest landslide and rainfall information. The landslide’s area and perimeter can be calculated, actual photos and videos can be imported, queried and accessed online through a geoportal where community members, agencies and government offices interact, and update landslide information as necessary for free. Research Implications: The model may therefore be of use to practical and logistic purposes for disaster management. Other environmental hazards such as sinkhole, earthquakes and flood can also be digitized using GIS. Policy Implications: In its initial stages of development, the system is capable to aid in formulating environmental policies towards safety, resilience and community sustainability against disasters. Originality: The primary challenge concerning the local government of BLISTT community, is its flexibility to adapt and realize the vast capabilities of this technology. Keywords: Early Warning System (ews), rain-induced landslides, geographic information system, global positioning system, kernel density estimation

WHEN TWO OPPOSING POLES MEET: A FAVORABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANTHROPOCENTRISM AND ANIMAL TREATMENT

Israel Joseph R. Soberano

Far Eastern University. [email protected]

Objective: What I would like to do in this paper is to show how the thesis which Carl Cohen asserts in his paper “The Case for the Use of Animals in Biomedical Research” is committed to the very principles that anthropocentrism, more specifically the weak form, espouses. Cohen denies rights to nonhuman animals sans the assumption that any human person can do whatever they want to them. To go about with the task, I will discuss first the origin of environmental ethics and the relevance of this discipline to animal issues. Then, I will discuss Cohen’s article and how it implicitly subscribes to anthropocentrism. For me to be facilitated, I will cite Bryan Norton’s article “Environmental Ethics and Weak Anthropocentrism. The paper is concluded by summarizing its main points. Research Design: To answer the main problem of the study, it conceives anthropocentrism, at least the weak or the refined one as a viable environmental ethic to safeguard the welfare of the animals. Moreover, it deals with the loopholes of nonanthropocentrism through the idea that the anthropocentrism and animal treatment are not totally in opposition with one another. The weak form of anthropocentrism can be beneficial to animals contrary to the common notion that they are not. Findings of the Study: The relevance of Cohen’s belief that nonhuman animals have no rights reflects the weak form of anthropocentrism. His assertion may disgust those who passionately believe that nonhuman animals have rights but it is clear that having rights is in no way a prerequisite to be treated with utmost respect and care. In like manner, the weak form of anthropocentrism does not strive to provide qualities that make nonhuman animals morally considerable. Instead of dwelling in this issue, it focuses on refining the values that they have. Research Implications: Anthropocentrism or human–centered environmental ethic focuses on human beings’ response to what is happening in the environment. Moreover, it shows their attitude or the way they view themselves in relation to the environment and nonhuman animals. It takes different forms like an absolute belief that human beings are above the environment and the nonhuman beings living in it because they alone possess intrinsic value. Moreover, there is also a subtler one like the idea that nonhuman beings have inherent value but incomparable to that of a human being. Hence, any act towards nonhuman beings is always justifiable provided that it promotes the interest of a human being. Originality: Environmental and animal ethicists do not make a conscious claim that they are indeed supporters of anthropocentrism. When they try to refute one another’s point of view, the accusation of being an anthropocentric as such is always taken into consideration. The labelling does not sound good especially to those who blame the destruction of the environment and animal cruelty to this ethical perspective. Keywords: Animal treatment, anthropocentrism, strong form, weak form

Lunag, Marcelino Jr. N. Saint Louis University-Mechanical Engineering Department, Lower Bonifacio St.,Baguio

City,Philippines,2600. [email protected]

Objective: Biowastes constitute the most considerable fraction of the total waste generation, which has become a problematic worldwide concern, especially dried sewage sludge which needs further treatment for the reduction of potentially toxic elements (PTE's). The process of composting has a significant role in the minimization, stabilization, and conversion of this waste into a valuable product. However, it is also a reality that there are other effects on the composting parameters and the presence of different elemental concentrations in the final compost. Research Design: The study aims to assess the effects of adding naturally dried sludge (NDS) and polymer-infused dried sludge (PIDS) in biowaste generated from a dormitory, thru the aerobic composting barrel. Findings: Result showed the significance (p<0.05) of adding NDS or PIDS in achieving optimum temperature for the composting process. Moreover, the effect of PIDS has met the standard for compost as a soil conditioner. The detected potentially toxic elements (PTE's) such as Pb, Ni, and Cu were reduced to standard limits except Cd. Most macro, micro, and other elements were decreased significantly, except Mg and K. The aid of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) provided alternative proofs of metallic reduction due to charge build-ups, as reinforced by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. Furthermore, the effects of NDS and PIDS have met the sufficient range for plant nutrition for Ca, S, K, and Mn. Research Implication and Originality: The study revealed that on top of Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorous, other elements have reached standard range for plant nutrients which may be essential to crop yield. Keywords: Total waste generation; polymer-infused dried sludge; composting process; toxic elements; SEM-XRF.

SUSTAINABLE FLOOD MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT THROUGH MANILA CITY’S COLONIAL PLAZAS AND OPEN SPACES’ MULTIPLE BUBBLE LOOP

Baquiran Raquel Lim

Far Eastern University Manila, Institute of Architecture and Fine Arts [email protected]/ [email protected]

Philippines being located in a typhoon belt is exposed to an average of twenty typhoons per year (“Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC),” n.d.). Manila City as its capital is located in a catch basin that lies between Manila Bay and Laguna Lake and is paralyzed when hit by typhoons caused by flood in its many parts. There have been many attempts to solve this problem, however though, the city cannot cope with these solutions as commercial and residential buildings continue to develop, blocking the path of the city’s river and its estuaries. At present, the in-migration of the people to Manila paved way to these developments, and as a result more solid waste are generated daily of which the majority are not properly disposed thereby blocking the existing drains of the city (“Philippines: A Long-term Vision to Reduce Flooding in Metro Manila,” n.d.). The aim of this research is to explore the potential of Manila City’s remaining colonial parks, plazas and open spaces through the exploration of the proposed multiple bubble grid theory. Borrowing Japan’s model of designing its public space as a disaster refuge in the event of an earthquake, the objective of this theory is to support the public in times of risks to deal with the hazards. But unlike the Japan’s public spaces solution to seismic hazards, the multiple bubble grid theory will focus on flood mitigation to decrease the level of flood risk in the capital (MASUDA & MASUDA, 2014).

THE CHALLENGES OF PROMOTING A SUSTAINABLE ECOTOURISM SITE IN THE PHILIPPINES: THE CASE OF THE PAMITINAN PROTECTED LANDSCAPE

Gregoria M. Mercado

Far Eastern University Institute of Architecture and Fine Arts [email protected]

Objective: The study attempts to assess the challenges of promoting the Pamitinan Protected Landscape (PPL) as a sustainable ecotourism site in the Philippines. The researcher wanted to know the challenges of tourism arrivals and activities on the eco-tourism site and its stakeholders and whether it has a readiness to be a Key Ecotourism Site. Research Design: (1) To find out the current state of the PPL, key informant interviews were done and important data on tourism arrivals and income will be gathered. (2) To evaluate the present condition of the PPL and identify gaps, and revisit its choice as a key tourism site, the following evaluation process from the National Ecotourism Strategy which used First Level evaluation and Second Level evaluation. (a) The First Level evaluation, which uses a scoring system based on relative weights in percentages, assessed sites and product/s according to their natural and/or cultural features, availability of ecotourism product/s, and level of social/ political support. (b) The Second Level evaluation is priority-setting based on an assessment of the market demand and future benefits to the community and visitors, including peace and order. (3) To assess whether the aspects of sustainable ecotourism which are cultural and environmental awareness, financial benefits to locals and community and educational benefits for tourists are experienced in the PPL, two types of survey questionnaires were prepared: one for tourists and the other one for locals and residents. A total of 120 persons (60 for each) answered the questionnaires. Findings: The tourist arrivals were considerably in the average of about 19,000 per year from 2011- 2014 but increased to 50,000 per year from 2016-2018. The year 2015 had an outstanding tourist arrival at 200,000. If 75% were the passing score given to ecotourism sites, the PPL would still get passing scores for the First Evaluation at 85% and the Second Evaluation at 82%. Both tourists and residents have good environmental awareness of the PPL but the residents have more historical awareness. Research Implications: The area is a viable tourist destination and as such, the community will also be benefitted from its use as an ecotourism site. The community and the government has an ongoing court case on land use that has lowered the level of social and political support because it prevents the community from fully cooperating with the government in its programs for the PPL. Dialogues between the locals and government to thresh out misunderstanding on financial and tenurial matters may ensure support for government initiatives. Value: If the challenges that have been discovered can be addressed which are: lack of historical and environmental awareness of the tourists, minimal financial benefits for the locals, lack of local support for government initiatives because of conflicts, and threatened environmental safety, then the site can be one of the key sustainable ecotourism sites for the Philippines in the future. Keywords: Ecotourism, sustainability, key ecotourism site, awareness, challenges

Melba A. Paual

Faculty of Institute of Fine Arts & Architecture, Far Easter University, Manila, Philippines [email protected]

Objective: Due to rapid urbanization and increase of population in many cities in Metro Manila, mass transportation becomes necessity. This resulted to increase in number of private bus transport companies and operators that serve the public commuters. However, bus operations have significant contributions to environmental and health impacts due to wastes they produce. One of a fast-growing bus transport companies in Metro Manila has chosen as a case study because it is facing challenges in managing waste it produces. The “Private Transport Inc.” (not the real name of the company because it inhibited to mention in the study to keep its privacy) produces emission from its bus units, municipal solid waste, and hazardous waste that are inevitable with its operation. Hence, this study aims to formulate initiatives and programs for sustainable waste management of the bus company that will reduce and control the environmental and health impacts it contributes. Research Design: The study used descriptive method using qualitative research in investigating social behavior and practices in waste disposal. The data were gathered through site visitations to observe the activities of the people during the operations especially during peak seasons. Interviews were conducted with well-informed individuals on waste management of the company, and on the use of Alternative Fuel and Raw Materials (AFR) in a company. Internet sources were used for review of related literatures and studies on environmental and health impacts of wastes, trends on sustainable waste management, and government laws, regulations, and policies related to waste management. Findings: The findings identified that most of the wastes the company is producing contributes to environmental and health impacts. The wastes that it produces due to its day to day operation is not an easy task for the company to handle even though it has existing practices in waste management. The company’s management has to realize that running a transport business definitely has impacts to the environment and health of the people caused by its generated wastes. Therefore, the company is facing challenges with managing their wastes in a more sustainable way. Research Implications: This study formulated initiatives and programs for sustainable waste management of the bus transport company (Private Transport Inc.) that will reduce and control the environmental and health impacts it contributes. Practical Implications: The study could bring favorable results to the environment, people (society), and economy (profit) of the company. Originality: The study addressed the concern of the Private Transport Inc. in managing its waste into more sustainable way that is also relevant and applicable to other companies that are also facing the same challenges. Keywords: Emission, environmental impact, health impact, municipal waste, sustainable waste management.

National University [email protected]

Objective: This study aims to forecast and analyze the environmental benefits of trees and its relationship to different elements as follows: Carbon sequestration and carbon emission of cars; Cooling effects and ground temperature; Oxygen production and oxygen consumption of population. Research Design: This exploratory research uses secondary data from other research conducted related to the environmental benefits of trees and other sources available in the internet and other government agency in charge with the monitoring of the environment and natural resources of the Philippines. The study measure and calculate the estimated amount of environmental benefits of trees in terms of carbon sequestration, temperature reduction due to cooling effects, and oxygen production of trees. Other factors that may have a direct or indirect relation to environmental benefits of trees were also measured and calculated in terms of amounts of carbon emitted by cars, average temperature of ground, and amount of oxygen consumed by the population. Findings: The result of the study estimates that by 2018 onwards, there were more carbon dioxide emission by cars than the carbon sequestration of trees and there were about 8,000 to 8,000,000 hectares of forest cover needed to cope with the accumulation of carbon dioxide. As carbon increase, an estimated average temperature of 1090F is expected by 2030 due to the degradation of forest cover and cooling effect of trees. The result of study also reveals that the oxygen production of trees depicts a closing line as to oxygen consumption of the population, although this may not be significant compared to the oxygen in the atmosphere. A specific-place forecast of these variable reveals a different story. Implications: It is aimed that revealing these foreseeable inconveniences today and, in the future, will heighten the awareness and vigilance of each individuals in mitigating, if not preventing, the total destruction of our nature. Keywords: Trees, environmental benefits, carbon sequestration, cooling effects, oxygen production.

Resilience is an ability of the critical asset to bounce back and remain its original state when the critical assets face threats. Issues: The process of critical asset management are very crucial and need an enhancement improvement by considering the elements of before, during and after contingent threats. Due to the critical asset functions as national and international trade, it is exposed to risk. Critical assets are specified as assets that is very crucial and its destruction may effect on the economy, health and social generously. Resilience is referring to a condition of systems that absorb stress and able to recover and return back to its original condition (Sapountzaki, 2007). The resilience element is more important in current research as it is more explored in the application of risk management (Hollnagel and Woods, 2006). Resilience as in the context of this research refers to connectivity, accessibility and timely emergency response to any threats or contingent threats. Design/methodology/approach: The investigation procedure includes assessing the significant level of 29 resilience indicators. Thus, frequency analysis, Relative Importance Index (RII) and Cronbach’s Alpha (CA) are adopted to achieve the research objective. Findings: The results for significant level of resilience indicators are achieved. Three highest indicators are communication, relationships and planning strategies. Originality/value: The research findings contribute in managing risk by prioritising the higher significant level of resilience indicators.

Objective: Malaysia has indeed strongly encouraged the existence of a Duty-Free Zone (DFZ) that has the potential to increase the economy in the gazetted or designated area. There have been several DFZ areas that carry out operations in the form of business and tourism activities. Lake Kenyir had been gazetted as an man-made lake by the state of Terengganu as a DFZ based on lake tourism with the aim of boosting tourism industry. Research Design: Through the content analysis on literature review of DFZ in other country, this study will develop a conceptual idea on potential of DFZ in lake tourism. The results of the study will benefit the potential of development on DFZ on lake tourism. Findings: This study will develop a conceptual idea on potential of DFZ in lake tourism. It will depend on sustainable tourism linking the Duty-Free Zone with lake tourism to enhance the potential of the tourism industry to be developed. The results of the study will benefit the potential of development on DFZ on lake tourism. Research Implications: This research will be importance to boost the country's economy by encouraging foreign investment to invest in the country's tourism industry. With this exciting activity, it will increase the number of tourists from domestic and international to acquire goods within the Lake Kenyir Duty Free Zone. Additionally, it will help the country in promoting the opening of more Duty-Free Zones. This study also emphasizes diversification in the development of the national tourism industry as well as opening up opportunities for social and economic development in a gazetted zone. Originality: The previous research shows that most gazetted areas as a DFZ is made up of mainland areas, the port and the airport that are well positioned. However, the DFZ in Lake Kenyir it is different since it consists of lakes. There are lacks of study on economic performance of Lake Kenyir as tourism hub. Therefore, this study focuses on potential development of the lake tourism sector based on Lake Kenyir of DFZ that has been developed from the aspect of sustainable tourism to improve the surrounding economy.

Objective: For this study, three objectives have been outlined. First, it aims to design the facility management concept and its requirement in urban management. Secondly, this study will demonstrate the FM function within the Local Authority organization, together with the discussion on the impact of FM integration. Research Design: The City Council of Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru has been selected as the case study. As one of the local authorities in Iskandar Malaysia, the city council is responsible to provide world-class facilities and services to the community. Therefore, the backgrounds and job descriptions of several major departments in the authority have been evaluated as each of them has their own tasks and contributions in the development of Iskandar Malaysia. Consequently, the integration of FM can be proposed, and the impact of the integration can be discussed. Meanwhile, the FM perspective for this study will look into best practices at three levels namely; strategic, operational and tactical. Findings: In urban planning and development context, the elements of sustainability have been incorporated to solve the issues of climate change, sprawl, decay, rejuvenation and so on. As a result, the authority of urban development has absorbed various knowledge and technologies to adopt changes in thinking, operation and management of urban. It is suggested that the elements of facilities management (FM) to be incorporated in the authority organization as it has a significant function as the change agent or enabler. The common understanding of FM function lies in its responsibility scope that highlights on managing and maintaining the buildings. Nonetheless, from a more developed view, the FM is becoming an enabler to operate, maintain, improve and adapt the buildings and infrastructure of an organization in order to create an environment that supports the primary objectives of that particular organisation. Therefore, FM can be engaged in any organization including the local authority. Practical Implications: In general, this study has contributed to position the roles of FM in the local authority’s organization. The findings show the holistic function of FM in delivering urban services efficiently. As an implication, it helps to promote effective practices in the organisation as well as give an added value through employees’ productivity. Finally, it would contribute to uplifting urban services and delivery as well as portraying a good reputation for the local authority.

Objective: Since Building Information Modelling (BIM) is considered as the solution for information handling within facilities management, this paper aims to investigate the current literature with the basis of critical success factors (CSFs) of BIM implementations, prepare a compilation, and identify gap related to factors of BIM implementation. Research Design/Methodology/Approach: Hundreds of journals were searched using key terms identified in a preliminary literature review. Successive rounds of article abstract reviews resulted in 22 articles being selected for the compilation. CSF constructs were then identified using content analysis methodology and an inductive coding technique. A subsequent critical analysis identified gaps in the literature base. Findings: The most significant finding is the lack of research that has focused on the identification of CSFs from the perspectives of key stakeholders. Additionally, there appears to be much variance with respect to what exactly is encompassed by change management, one of the most widely cited CSFs, and little detail of specific implementation tactics. Research Implications: There is a need to focus future research efforts on the study of CSFs as they apply to the perspectives of key stakeholders and to ensure that this stakeholder approach is also comprehensive in its coverage of CSFs. As well, there is need to conduct more in-depth research into the concept of change management. One key limitation of this research is the occurrence of duplication in the frequency analysis of the success factors. This is attributed to secondary research being the main methodology for a large number of the articles cited. Originality/Value: This research provides a comprehensive compilation of all previously identified BIM implementation success factors, through a clearly structured methodological approach. Keywords: Building information modelling; BIM; critical success factors.

Objective: Malaysian government has undertaken various initiatives to mitigate and minimize the impact of flood disaster. This includes the establishment of NSC Directive 20 that rules out roles and responsibility of the institution and action to commence once disaster strike. While the guidelines were well stated for the federal, state and district level to follow, however, the engagement of the affected community was not included in the process. Their capacity, skills, knowledge, and experience in dealing with disaster are not fully utilized and exploit in assisting them during the recovery process. This renders the victims to be totally dependent on the helps and support from the government and NGO’s to return to normalcy. Meanwhile, asset-based approach concept urged the community to be involved in the recovery process and their needs to be identified so that their tangible and intangible assets can be used simultaneously in ensuring comprehensive recovery. Therefore, the paper aims to present a proposition of a methodology of research to develop an institutional framework that shows the relationship among the assets and institutional roles and responsibility in ensuring successful interventions of the institution in the flood recovery process. In parallel, the research methodology design opted for the study will be outlined and discussed in ensuring a holistic approach to deal with the after effect of the disaster can be formulated. Research Design: Both qualitative and quantitative approaches are opted for the purpose of the study. Firstly, prior literature is searched by using scientific databases based on keywords on institutional framework, flood disaster, and asset-based approach. From the findings, interview session will be conducted with communities involved. The data will be analysed by using content analysis through NVIVO software. Next, the findings will be utilized to develops a set of questionnaires to obtain data on the assets and its relationships with the institution’s roles and responsibilities during the recovery process. The data will later be analysed by using SMART-PLS and Important Index. Finally, focus group discussion will be conducted to validate the data obtain in order to develop the institutional framework. Research Implications: This proposed research methodology assumes a multidirectional measurement path in order to obtain the data related to the study that should allow the study to achieve the results which will be the basis for the development of institutional framework of asset-based approach that can facilitate the community to recover faster after flood disaster. Practical Implications: The framework to be developed can serve as a reference for the government and relevant agencies in the development of more comprehensive disaster management recovery plan in Malaysia Originality: This study emphasized on the development of the relationship between the assets and institutional roles and responsibilities that can facilitate the community to recover faster.

Purpose: This research is intended to identify and analyze the main causes factors cost overruns in the a road construction project. Research Design/Methodology/Approach: Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire based on 9 factors obtained through literature review. As many as 172 respondents were participated in this study that consist of project managers, engineers, supervisors and people who had been involved in road projects. Findings: The results of the analysis narrowed down the nine factors grouped into two new factors, namely Sub Contractor & Project Finance and Financing Aspects, these 2 factors are the dominant factors that greatly contributed to cost overruns on road projects. Research Implications: The study was taken into account a construction company as a case study. Therefore, the author feels that the findings of this study might not apply generally to other companies working in the same project. Originality/value: It is hoped that these findings can be used as a source of information for the organization to minimize the cost overruns on the projects that will be carried out later. Keywords: Cost overruns, project and road construction projects, causal factors

SUSTAINABILITY: GREENING THE MANUFACTURING OF COSMETICS AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS

Melodia Ramos-Sampan

Far Eastern University, Manila Phillipines [email protected]

Objective: The purpose of the research is to provide recommendations for sustainable or ‘Green’ manufacture of cosmetics and personal care products, from sourcing of raw materials, product formulation and production, operations, waste management and distribution. The concepts were based from different sustainable practices of big manufacturing companies across the globe. Research Design: The research will be done by looking at the manufacturing processes and practices of a small company, and how it addresses the environmental, social and economic aspect of the business. The paper will present how the company operates from its use of resources such as electricity, water and gas to its waste disposal practices. Literature Review of the different sustainable manufacturing practices of big companies for cosmetics and personal care products from around the world will be searched. The data collected will serve as basis for the formulation of the Framework. Findings: It is found out that manufacturing of cosmetics and personal care products have great environmental and social impacts. In fact, the energy, water and raw materials used in production, packaging and distribution of products obviously have an environmental effect, but inefficient use and dispose of products by consumers can also add to the environmental burden. Out of the findings, a matrix of unsustainable viz sustainable manufacturing processes for the industry is deduced to formulate a framework for a more sustainable manufacturing model. Research Implications: The study will help the small manufacturing company to adopt and practice sustainability from sourcing of raw materials to formulation and product delivery. Through this, environmental and social impact of cosmetics and personal care products may somehow be lessened, and this may help the company to be more marketable. Practical Implications: The study could serve as reference for professionals in many key sectors of the cosmetics and personal care industry; cosmetic chemists, formulation scientists, R&D directors, policy makers, business and marketing executives, to further develop Green Cosmetic Chemistry and Formulation as well as creation of environmental protection policies. Originality: Although the initial research implies that the shift for sustainable and green manufacturing have initiated by the big companies. Small manufacturing companies have not adopted this concept yet. The main focus of big cosmetics and personal care products companies is greening the manufacture of the products, but sustainable operations and product delivery have not been given the importance yet. Furthermore, possible local sources of raw materials and ingredients were also identified, this will greatly aid the company in carrying out green chemistry and green formulation for a sustainable manufacture.

AUSTRONESIAN AS RATIONALE FOR REGIONAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE PHILIPPINE CORDILLERAS

Tito Valdivia

Saint Louis University [email protected]

Objective: To promote an advocacy for the Philippines’ CAR (Cordillera Administrative Region) architecture which is evocative of the CAR ethnic groups’ unique cultural and physical contexts derived from the distillation of the chosen cultural attributes Research Design/Methodology/Approach: Logical Argumentation Findings: The subject of vernacularism can be basis for local character of contemporary architecture in the Philippines’ Cordillera region and its Igorot culture groups, despite architectural character being an elusive topic in this nation which has gone thru three centuries of Spanish and half a century of American colonial rule. Language-wise and compared to countries with similar histories with a past western colonizer (like most of Latin America wherein the indigenous languages have almost been completely obliterated by the past colonizer’s introduced language), it is clear that the Philippine languages including those of the Cordilleras, remain relatively intact and in active use. Research Implications: The study addressed the disparity between the Cordillera peoples’ arrested state of architectural development vis-à-vis the active state of their mother tongues is the inspiration leading to the locus of this study, and how to reconcile this disparity. Originality/value: The study was based on the premise of the Austronesian heritage of selected Cordillera culture groups and their native languages, a lexicostatistical database was gathered to determine how divergent each culture group has wandered away from the mother tongue. The extracted language variables per respective culture group yields mathematically operable parameters for quantifying culture, despite perceived intangible attributes. Analyses of visible elements of the indigenous dwellings of the culture groups, on the other hand, were the bases for extracting likewise operable parameters to represent the tangible aspect of culture. The mathematically-derived fusion of the native language and native architectural values thereupon produced what may be promoted as an architectural anthropology template applicable for building programs in selected sites within the Cordillera region of the Philippines. Practical/Social/Policy Implications: A definitive application of this culturally-sensitive building program is exemplified thru a proposed fundamental social infrastructure in the City of Baguio, which serves as the regional hub of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), with further impetus for its implementation on the grounds of the City recently being accorded the recognition of “Creative City” by the UNESCO. The City itself was founded as a hill station during the colonial days of American rule; therefore, this architectural anthropology undertaking shall also serve as a symbolic gesture of the long overdue sovereignty of the indigenous Cordillera peoples and the whole Filipino nation over their past colonizers. Keywords: Architectural anthropology; lexicostatistics; thermodynamic analogy.

Objective: This study sought to describe the beliefs, perceptions and attitudes of the community’s stakeholders towards children with special needs and special education, including the programs and trainings given to teachers and other duty key-bearers in handling exceptional children. It explored how stakeholders regard and view Children with Special Needs (CWSN) and their families including the training and support provided for teachers to accommodate diverse students in the classroom. Specifically, it aimed to describe: (1) the present attitudes, beliefs and perceptions of stakeholders in the community towards children with special needs; and (2) the programs and trainings provided to increase awareness in special education. Research Design: This study is mainly qualitative descriptive in nature. Key informants were identified through purposive and network sampling and responses were gathered through stakeholder consultation, structured interviews, focus group discussion, and checklist, participant observation, and case studies. The issues on trustworthiness of the data were addressed through credibility, transferability and conformability. Ethical considerations as cornerstone in a qualitative research was also addressed. Findings: The study generated: (1) that there were positive and negative attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of the stakeholders towards children with special needs in their ability to identify the needs of these kids and their initiative and commitment to help the CWSN given their limitations. It was found out that there were lack of support and acceptance for CWSN from the members of their family which limits the opportunities of the child to be successful and productive given his/ her special skills and capacity; (2) there was lack of support in the implementation of inclusive education in schools which led to the limited knowledge of teachers in accommodating CWSN in the classroom; (3) finally, that there was no ongoing program or special services for CWSN in the community, there was limited facility, resources, capability building through trainings and seminars provided for duty key- bearers in the community. The researcher – led mission to provide programs and trainings has contributed to the awareness in special education at the target community. A team mission aimed at empowering stakeholders for a more disability inclusive community by giving screening services from professionals in the field (Pediatricians, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Pathologists, Physical Therapists and Special Education Teachers) was conducted. Research Implication: The mission opened doors to LGU initiatives providing financial provision as well as securing the rights of CWSN and their families, magnified with better equipped teachers and other duty key- bearers in handling children with exceptionalities. Practicality: The study focused to assist a community who was assessed to be needing support when it comes to awareness and empowerment of duty key-bearers in relation to special education as well as pediatric screening for children with special needs. Originality: The mission has provided empowerment talks to parents, day care workers, teachers, school administrators and social workers as well as screening services for free to CWSN of Solsona Ilocos Norte, Philippines which led to the birth of a more inclusive community for children with exceptionalities and their families which conveyed new meaning to the life of the families of CWSN. Keywords: Special education, awareness, empowerment

ASSESSMENT OF MATHEMATICS COGNITIVE SKILLS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS: BASIS FOR AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM

John Irish G. Lira

Tertiary and Graduate School, National University College Research Coordinator, College of Education, Arts & Sciences

Research Implications: Cognitive assessment should be an integral part of the decision making process in mathematics education. It gives the teacher a picture of his students’ level of achievement in the subject area. It does not only reveal how much they know about the subject but also how much more they still need to know before they pass the course. Further, the results of cognitive assessment will reveal the sources and nature of students’ cognitive difficulty in order to facilitate correction or remediation. In sum, assessment results provide basis for modifying teacher practices that are effective in improving learning, for evaluating the teaching-learning situation, for accreditation purposes, and for decision making in terms of policy formulation, action plans, and intervention programs. Research Objectives: This study aimed to assess the mathematics cognitive skills of incoming senior high school students and used this as basis in developing an intervention program. Specifically, it attempted to (1) Identify the mathematics competencies required of incoming tertiary students from National University, (2) To develop a tool to assess the mathematics cognitive skills of tertiary students based on the identified competencies, (3) Assess the mathematics cognitive skills of tertiary students based on the identified competencies, (4) Identify the least mastered skills of tertiary students based on the assessment results and (5) Develop an intervention program for tertiary students based on the identified weaknesses and least mastered skills. Research Design: The study utilized the descriptive research design. According to Best and Kahn (2015) descriptive research describes and interprets what is. It is concerned with conditions and relationships that exist, opinions that are held, processes that are going on, effects that are evident, or trends that are developing. In its essence, descriptive studies are used to describe various aspects of the phenomenon. In its popular format, descriptive research is used to describe characteristics and/or behavior of sample population. The descriptive research method is appropriate to this study because it attempted to assess and describe the mathematics cognitive skills of incoming senior high school students and develop an intervention program based on the identified weaknesses and least mastered skills of the students. Findings: The Mathematics Cognitive Skills Test consisting of 60 items was developed and utilized to assess the cognitive skills of the students on the topics which are prerequisites to the mathematics subjects in the undergraduate curriculum. Likewise, a cognitive domain was considered a weakness of the student if less than 60% of the students got the items correctly in this domain. The finding revealed that (1) Majority of the students are poor in almost all prerequisite topics in the tertiary curriculum and (2) Majority of the students are weak in all cognitive domains except in remembering. Thus, the intervention program developed by the researcher is recommended. Originality: This study attempted to assess the cognitive skills of Grade 12 students going to tertiary level. To undertake this, a cognitive test was developed for incoming tertiary students. The result of the test served as the basis for proposing an intervention program that may help students enhance their mathematics performance in order to succeed in undertaking the mathematics subjects in tertiary level. Keywords: Cognitive test, mathematics cognitive skills & mathematics intervention program

*[email protected]

Objective: This paper aims to lay issues on sustainable education in the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) of the Philippines. Specifically, it attempts to examine three Department Orders (DOs) issued by Philippine’s Department of Education as the empirical materials. The lenses used in analysing issues on sustainable education in K-12 BEC is Stephen Sterling’s sustainable education and Robert Barr and John Tagg’s paradigmatic beliefs in teaching and learning. This paper attempts to intersect Sterling and Barr and Tagg to provide a discourse on the issues presented. Research Design: The paper utilizes qualitative research design. Document analysis is the technique used in analysing the empirical materials. The empirical materials presented in this paper are: (1) Department Order number 14 series of 2013, (2) Department Order Number 13 series of 2012, and (3) Department Order Number 8, Series 2015). These three DOs are implementation documents which are meant to articulate the K-12 BEC. The analysis focuses on the exploration of these documents that are linked to K-12 BEC. This technique provides the authors inferences and the context of the paper was culled from the documents itself. With this, it provides insights and representations of facts that was used primarily to understand the conundrum posted. Findings: Learner-centred approach to teaching and learning is one of the main features of the K-12 BEC. This approach coincides with Sterling’s definition of sustainable education and Barr and Tagg’s new paradigm in teaching and learning. However, the three DOs show disjunct on the learner-centred feature of the curriculum. The empirical materials show elements of teacher-centered approach, an opposing paradigm to the learner-centred approach. The elements of teacher-centred approach that the empirical materials confirmed are (1) rigid instructional time per subject matter, (2) mass-produced textbooks, and lastly, (3) inflexible content standards. Research Implications: This paper opens further discourse on sustainable education and paradigms in teaching and learning. It has a potential to open a wider discussion on the curriculum implementation practices of the country. Originality: The intersections of sustainable education and paradigms in teaching and learning that uses Philippines K-12 BEC make this research original and new to the vast literature of sustainability and curriculum studies. Keywords: Curriculum, sustainable education, sustainability, student-centered learning paradigm.

SOCIO-IDEOLOGICAL REPRODUCTION IN FILIPINO WORKERS EXPORTATION: A VIEW ON SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION

Harold John D. Culala, *Joseph R Jintalan Institute of Education, Far Eastern University,

*[email protected] Objective: This paper aims to explore the paradigms of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) of UNESCO and Sustainable Education of Stephen Sterling. This paper makes use of the mismatch of skills of Filipino employees, which seemingly influences exportation of labour, as an example to analyse the two paradigms. This paper argues that educational atomism seems to occur in the education for sustainable development-inclined curriculum as learning content and experiences becomes isolated based on the context and needs determined by the market. While ESD has been viewed as an instrument to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), however, it seems to make curriculum offering heavy in a way that it focuses on themes and concepts of sustainability rather than fundamental skills needed in achieving sustainability. This posits a problem on achieving genuine sustainable future as the curriculum becomes partial and accommodatory. Research Design: The research design of this paper makes use of a qualitative-case analysis of research where the case of curriculum policies in the Philippines is analysed using the lenses of Education for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Education. The paper puts into analysis some of the different curriculum policies implemented by the government in Philippine education. The analysis focuses on the exploration of how these curriculum policies are linked to exportation of Filipino workers abroad. Findings: Educational atomism is seemingly evident on the way how curriculum aligns itself to sustain the needs of the market paving the way for the industries to determine the content of the curriculum depending on the needs of their existing context. Consequently, the curriculum does not match the current needed job as the determined content was decided by the market based on the existing needs prevalent during the time the curriculum was being crafted. This induces the case of job mismatch and reproduces the condition for Filipino workers exportation. Hence, education becomes a contributor on the problem of achieving sustainability. A paradigm shift is needed to genuinely progress towards sustainability. A paradigm shift from a market-driven curriculum to a sustainable education curriculum would capacitate individuals with fundamental skills in achieving sustainability. Research Implications: This paper opens further discourse on the link between curriculum and sustainability. Likewise, it has a potential to open a wider discussion on the role of social institutions, like the government and the school, to the exportation of Filipino workers. Originality: The junction of socio-ideological reproduction across education for sustainability and sustainability education, as well as its contextualization to Filipino workers exportation, make this research original and new to the vast literature of sustainability and curriculum studies. Keywords: Curriculum policy; Overseas Filipino Workers, sustainability; sustainable education.

*[email protected]

Objectives: This paper presents information regarding the demographics of the generation alpha and how can they be prepared scholastically so when they join the workforce twenty-five years from the present time, they will have the skills needed. It also delves on what the workplace in 2040 basing on prevailing literature and it questions how we can be able to address the possible gaps between what the skills they learn in schools and what they actually need in the workplace. The paper discusses how school teachers should see the generation alpha as digital citizens on a digital nation. This paper also theorizes on this gap as the future teachers of the alphas are the millennials of today, thus the gap is thinning as compared to the previous generations of teachers. This paper gives perspectives on the future of sustainable education as a discourse. It draws inspiration perspectives on sustainability. In Sterling’s definition, sustainable education focuses on transformative learning where learners are equipped with skill both soft and hard to be sustainable in their chosen society. In addition to that, Wheeler’s five perspectives on sustainability (thinking about and affecting the future, designing sustainable communities, stewardship on natural resources, sustainable economics, globalization) where analyzed on the demographics of generation alphas. Research Design: The study uses a qualitative research design. In-depth individual interviews were conducted with generation alpha learners to address the gaps with what they learn in school and what they actually need in the workplace. The method used is phenomenological as the authors aim to discuss the perceptions of the generation alpha learners about how they learn about the environment in school. Such perceptions are framed in relation with Sterling’s concept definition of sustainable education specifically focused on transformative learning. Purposive sampling method was used for the research. Interviews were conducted to five generation alpha learners. The participants are preschool and kindergarten students. Three of the learners were located in Dubai, UAE while the other two are located in Sorsogon, a province located in southern Luzon of the Philippines. Their ages ranges from 8 years old and below. As minors, the parents were invited to be with them during the interview. Findings: The paper finds three major themes in analyzing the empirical materials (1) unawareness on the understanding of ‘environment’, (2) role of schools, and (3) content of the curriculum. This paper finds that the Filipino Gen Alpha participants are unaware of what is environment. However, all of them believe that saving it through cleaning and throwing garbage is the right thing to do. It is surprising because the Universal Kindergarten Curriculum in the Philippines explicitly contain sustainable issues and environment education. Research Implications: This paper has a potential to open a discourse about sustainable education and how we can prepare the new cohort of generation, the Alphas. Originality/Value: Understanding the generation alpha and sustainable education is valuable in sustainability studies as the future of next generation lies on this new cohort. Keywords: Generation alpha, sustainable education, teaching and learning, digital citizens, digitalnatio

FISHER EFFECT IN THE CASE OF THE PHILIPPINES

*Rutcher Lacaza, Alma Dela Cruz, Joseph Ryan Paglingayen Far Eastern University

*[email protected] Objective: With the evident increase of inflation in the Philippines, it is deemed relevant to explore how it relates to other economic variables. One relationship is that of inflation and interest rates as presented in the economic theory known as the Fisher effect. This economic theory is of significance given that changes in interest rates as enunciated in the Philippines’ monetary policy would impact on how the economy would eventually fare. At the micro level, the relationship indicates whether inflation completely offsets what otherwise could have been gained through interest rates. In this retrospect, this study investigates the relationship of interest rates, nominal and real, and inflation as enunciated in the Fisher Effect economic theory and in turn determine the extent of changes in nominal interest rates given changes in inflation. Research Design: To establish this, an econometric analysis was undertaken to determine whether corresponding change in interest rate would be higher, lower, or unitary given a unit change in inflation. Quarterly data is utilized for the period 2001 up to the second quarter of 2018. As a proxy for expected inflation, the inflation rate variable is utilized as computed based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is a measure of the average price of the standard basket of goods and services. Meanwhile, the reverse repurchase rate also known as the policy rates of which the BSP borrows from banks with government securities as collateral is utilized to represent nominal interest rates. All data are taken from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the country’s central monetary authority. As for the econometric model, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) and Error Correction Model (ECM) are utilized in establishing existence of a relationship and convergence towards equilibrium which in turn validates that the Fisher effect holds in the case of the Philippines. Findings: Findings indicate that the null hypothesis of no relationship between reverse repurchase rate and inflation in Philippine data can be rejected thereby establishing existence of such relationship. Results of the ARDL test indicates that the variables are cointegrated or moves together through time while the ECM supports the existence of a stable relationship and a convergence towards equilibrium given certain shocks. Said results validates the existence of a long-run response of the nominal interest rate to inflation which are consistent with the Fisher hypothesis. Implications: Policy implications would suggest that monetary authorities should employ strategies that will prevent inflation from rising if nominal interest rates are to be kept at low levels in order to encourage borrowing and maintain stability of the economy as is the intention of managing inflation. Originality: This study is distinct relative to existing literature as it considers the differences in level of integration of the variables prior to undertaking tests for relationship. The ARDL, which is an appropriate method taking into account such differences, was applied to establish cointegration wherein not doing so would lead to unreliable results. The study further delved deeper into investigating the long-term stability and convergence towards equilibrium by using the ECM. Lastly, the use of updated data incorporating latest developments in inflation and interest rates provides additional merit to the findings of this study. Keywords: Inflation, fisher effect, interest rates, monetary policy

AUDITING FOOD WASTE IN SELECT PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Rocel A. Apolonio, *Joseph Ryan Paglingayen Far Eastern University

* [email protected]

One area of focus pertaining to food wastage is food waste encountered in schools. Much of the literature point out that food waste is a huge predicament in schools since it accounts for the majority of the aggregate school waste. This is exemplified for instance in studies undertaken by Wilkie, Graunke and Cornejo (2015) and WRAP (2007) for the case of schools in Florida and England, respectively. Objective: This paper thereby undertaken, focusing on select public schools in a city in the Philippines, to investigate the extent of food wastage. To establish such, the amount of food waste among all other school waste were audited and demographic variables like age structure and time of break were put under investigation to establish whether such variables indicate any relationship with the amount of food waste. Research Design: The study adopted a descriptive-correlational research design. A five-day observation and compositional analysis of food waste were executed in the process of data gathering and collection in the select public schools. Findings: Food waste is not a major component of the aggregate school waste in the select schools in the Philippines as reflected by the less than 5% contribution to aggregate school waste. What constitutes the majority of the waste is paper cups/paper or the biodegradables, averaging 65% followed by pet bottles or the recyclables, averaging 18%. The food wastes are collected for pet food and composting. The schools implement the reduce, reuse and recycle system as evident by the schools’ eco-programs like bringing plastic bottles every Friday and composting project. In the canteen, six to eight viands or food choices are offered to students. The canteen management implement the measured serving or “takal system” to lessen or avoid food waste. However, in view of the relationship between time of recess and amount of food waste, statistics show that there is a significant relationship between these variables. Previous studies posited that there is lesser food waste when recess is scheduled before lunch. Research Implications: This study draws attention to needed resolutions and actions to address the issue not only on food waste but other types of school waste as well such as papers and plastics. As reiterated by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), “target should include encouraging dialogue to support community initiatives in order to challenge the sustainability of current consumption patterns (2015).” Originality/value: There are limited food waste research that espoused food waste compositional analysis in its data gathering procedure. This brings accuracy in terms of what types of waste contribute to aggregate school waste. The school and students can develop strategies and implement programs towards sustainable management of food, proper waste disposal and implementation of zero waste or the three R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle. This should be enculturated among school children so that the practice becomes a way of life. Keywords: Food loss, food waste audit, school food waste, waste generation rates

MULTICULTURALISM AND THE POLITICS OF RECOGNITION IN PHILIPPINE EDUCATION

Percival S. Paras

Institute of Education, Far Eastern University – Manila [email protected]

Objective: This paper criticizes the Philippine Education Curriculum's attempt at embracing and implementing multiculturalism. Specifically, it aims to expose the recurring issues of instruction paradigm seen in existing curriculum and instruction. Research Design: Using Charles Taylor’s view of Identity Politics, as well as Jean Paul-Sartre’s existential phenomenology, this paper locates the Philippine Education's sustainability in view of Politics of Recognition. Reflexivity is given emphasis to build on the theme of identity and recognition embedded in the discussion. Findings: Because the Philippines is a nation of multiple races, cultures, traditions, and religions, diversity has become progressively reflected in Philippine Education. With the different demographic, economic, religious and social trends represented in the classrooms, both in public and private institutions, from primary to tertiary education, the Philippine education curriculum has gone through a lot of revisions and improvements, seeking the best possible standard that will prepare students to be at par with both local and global demands. Research implications (including originality/value): In this paper, I exposed the three main challenges of multicultural education in the Philippines, namely: identity politics in an instruction-centered paradigm, the problem of categories – parallel to Taylor’s idea of block thinking, and [what I posit as] academic othering, which I consider as the cornerstone of an age-old oppressive paradigm in Philippine education, characterized by the imbalance in the power relations that is not just imposed to the students, but has been institutionalized historically as an unconscious yet structurally-motivated way of oppression in education. Keywords: Academic othering; block thinking; categories; instruction paradigm; identity politics, multiculturalism

ECOPHOBIA AND NEGATIVE AWE

*Veniz Maja V.Guzman, Marko Da Silva Far Eastern University, Manila Phillipines

*[email protected] Environmental apathy has been one of the pressing problems today, especially considering climate change and continuous environmental destruction. Schools, governments, and environmental organizations have been trying to address this problem using information and messages highlighting the destruction that have been taking place. The emotion of awe is one of the most important tools that could be used to help combat apathy, and it has been a subject of interest across different fields due to its effects. In the research of awe, it was found that even negative awe can increase prosocial behaviour. However, there is also evidence that messages which appeal to fear can have unintended negative effects such denial and projection, caused by extreme anxiety towards environmental problems, called “ecophobia.” This paper argues three points: a) there must be higher levels of awe than fear in messages, b) children must not be exposed to negative stimulus alone, and c) all recipients must be taught ways of coping with the stimulus. This paper is divided into four parts: a) the discussion on ecophobia and apathy, b) the discussion on awe, c) arguments, and d) conclusion. For the efforts to get people to act in solving the environmental crises to work, we must get people to care first. Awe is an indispensable tool which could be utilized to solve this problem. Keywords: Ecophobia, awe, negative awe, environmental philosophy, apathy

Far Eastern University – Manila Campus [email protected], [email protected]

Objectives: The objectives of this research are two-folds. First is to analyze the changes of domains between the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) and the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) to see if it is necessary and has big impact in the alignment of the demands of the K+12 Core and Curriculum Framework. Second is to sustain the Teacher Education Curriculum of Far Eastern University by developing an institutional portfolio that embodies the competencies of the new framework, PPST, for pre-service teachers in Field Study 3, internship, which will be called Tam-folio. Research Design: The researchers employed the Quantitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) design which can be delivered by looking at the changes of the two means with their similarities and differences in order to reduce complexity and to come up with configurational answers towards changes or problems. Findings: The study found out that the domains of the previous framework wherein the old curriculum of Teacher Education was anchored did not already satisfy the requirements of the implemented curriculum for Basic Education which results to the misalignment of expected competencies. On the other hand, the new framework which is the PPST has totally reached the strands of the domains of K+12 core and curriculum framework which are more aligned in order to produce competent teachers who are relevant in the 21st Century education in the country. Research Implications: The result of the study became the basis in order to sustain the Teacher Education program of Far Eastern University by revisiting the new design curriculum and aligning the competencies based on the PPST framework. Specifically, the result focused in elevating the work performance of Pre-service teachers under Field Study 3, Teacher Internship, by replacing the narrative report into Tam-Folio, which is an outcomes-based output of pre-service teachers patterned in the domains of the PPST. Policy Implications: In order to sustain and to update the Teacher Education curriculum, the narrative report of pre-service teachers will be replaced by Tam-Folio. This will be the major requirement of students in Field Study 3 to be accomplished throughout their experiential learning years. Originality and Value: Based on the findings and the alignment done, the researchers produced Tam-folio, institutional designed comprehensive portfolio, which is a novel requirement in the Teacher Internship program because usually it is just a narrative report of Pre-service teachers’ experiences. This time it will be performance-based tasks based on the PPST domains of Beginning Teacher level that will be graded based on their supporting learning evidences or outcomes and not just with their reflective notes which is the usual product. Keywords: Teacher education, internship, portfolio, outcomes-based, pre-service teachers.

Far Eastern University, Manila, Philippines [email protected]; [email protected]

Objectives: This research explored the university life of student-athletes utilizing deductive approach to qualitative data analysis based on the framework of World Health Organizations’ quality of life and motivation and self-regulated learning. This is significant so that we can understand who student-athletes are, how they live as university student, how they think, how their emotion is, coping mechanisms, strategies, and soon, and how we can best assist them as school administrators, teachers, guidance counsellors, etc. Research Design: To elicit information, a focus group discussion was held. Four focused group discussions took place which involved a total of 23 male and female student-athletes enrolled in the teacher education program and were at junior and senior levels in one private higher educational institution in the Philippines. A deductive approach to qualitative research was utilized to analyse and interpret the transcribed data. Findings: The study shows that student-athletes possessed different coping mechanism strategies both in their academic and athletic life which help them thrive in college. The conclusion can be drawn that some domains of student-athletes’ quality of life relate positively and negatively to their motivation to learn. Two major phenomena were discovered, these are transition and adjustment which both transpire in their academic and athletic lives. Research Implications: This study provides understanding to school administrators, teachers and coaches about the lived-experiences of student-athletes, a special group of students in the university. Findings revealed in the study will serve as basis for policy formulation on the regulation of athletic engagement, pedagogy and assessment design. Practical Implications: The study could serve as springboard to future researches on student-athletes. A quantitative design maybe utilized to expound the results of the present study. Originality: Research on student-athletes is very common yet research on their quality of life has not yet explored in the past including in the Philippines and most of the researches about quality of life dealt with health-related conditions, regular students like medical students, and soon. Moreover, most of the researches were done quantitatively. Keywords: student-athletes, quality of life, motivation to learn, qualitative research, deductive approach

Objective: In dealing with the issue of housing affordability, the Malaysian government had to intervene the private sector to supply more affordable houses and initiate affordable housing policies. However, some areas experience either shortage or surplus of houses which reflects ineffective affordable housing policies. In addressing this issue, application of an appropriate forecasting method may assist policymakers and developers in allocating and matching the number of affordable housing supplies with the current and projected affordable housing demand. Thus, this research aims to identify the most appropriate method to be applied in forecasting affordable housing demand. Research Design: In this research, journal articles, books, conference or working papers are reviewed to identify factors influencing housing demand and forecasting methods applied by previous studies. Significant factors influencing housing demand and the most appropriate forecasting method are also highlighted. Findings: It was observed that the employed population growth, birth rate, mortality baby rate, inflation rate, income rate, housing stock, GDP rate, unemployment rate, and poverty rate are the significant factors influencing housing demand. A high accuracy of housing demand estimation can be expected for ANN model compared to other models. Research Implications: The ANN model's superior performance in predicting the actual housing demand highlights the need for more research in this area. Practical / Social / Policy Implications: The research findings are beneficial to the policy-makers, housing developers, practitioners and academicians. Housing demand predictions produced by the ANN model facilitates policymakers and housing developers in allocating supplies in accordance with the local market demand. As a consequence, the supply-demand mismatch can be overcome thus allowing the attainment of the national policy agenda. Moreover, this pioneering research on forecasting affordable housing demand provides as a guide for more researches within this area by practitioners and academicians. Originality / Value: This research is the first research focusing on affordable housing forecast. It identifies significant factors influencing housing demand and highlights the most appropriate method to forecast affordable housing demand.

Objective: Increasing population leads to many occurrences such as climate change, migration, environmental catastrophe and so on. With outgrowing population, demands on resources such as fresh water, foods and energy are continuously increasing. By 2030, some researchers have predicted that “perfect storm” will occur where there will be falling of energy sources, fresh water scarcity and food shortages. This paper is aiming to observe whether the scenario of “perfect storm” in Malaysia is in accordance with the theory suggested with the focus only in food issues. Research Design/Methodology/Approach: The data used for this paper are the rice productions in MADA authority and Malaysian population growth which are obtained from website of Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) and Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia respectively. Findings: The result shown that, in general, the increasing rice production is in parallel with the population growth. Even though the rice production has increased over time, but the self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) has decreased from 76.5% in 1985 to 71.0% in 2010 which then prove the “perfect storm” theory is right. So, in order to survive or tackle the issue of “perfect storm”, Malaysian government should take effective measures to increase the SSR and to improve the nation’s food security. Research Implications: There is a need to focus future research efforts on the study of food security as they will be applied for future reference and to ensure that the nation’s self-sufficiency is sufficient to feed the population regardless the economic situation. Originality / Value: This research provides a compilation of all previously identified data of rice production. Keywords: Perfect storm; food security; rice production.

Flood disasters are the most frequent disasters among all global natural disasters, caused by climate change by the intensity of high rainfall and rapid urbanization and changes in hydrological watersheds. Forest destruction in the upstream area due to land conversion has further aggravated flood conditions. With increasing use of natural resources due to population growth and economic development, conflicts of interest and lack of integration between sectors, between upstream and downstream areas. Sumani watershed is one of the watersheds that has experienced the above so that it is designated as a critical watershed in West Sumatra that requires special priority in the form of conservation. Determination of the Sumani watershed as a critical watershed was the result of the floods that inundated Solok City and Solok Regency. The high intensity of rainfall results in runoff flooding around the Sumani watershed which has undergone siltation due to sedimentation. Seasonal floods due to overflow of Sumani watersheds occur almost every year. In the Sumani watershed that passes through the city of Solok with a flow of around 9,156 meters, there are several flood-prone spots located in the Kampai Tabu Karambia Village, Tanah Garam, Koto Panjang and IX Korong . The current problem with the Sumani watershed is its vulnerability to repeated seasonal flood hazards. In this context we must put downstream flood events in the context of the entire Sumani watershed. The purpose of this study is to study flood risk reduction efforts and determine mitigation alternatives in reducing the risk of flood disasters. Based on the results of the literature study shows that the risk analysis is in the form of hazard analysis, vulnerability and capacity carried out by identifying flood areas /spots to determine the extent of flood inundation and the affected population simulated in the form of inundation maps. Therefore, flood mitigation efforts can be recommended in the form of making evacuation signs. Keywords: Flood risk management, watershed, mitigation

Objective: The primary objective of this paper is to examine the dynamic of volatility of Malaysian listed property companies within regional context based on different perspective over the last 17 years, especially during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Methodology: The data from selected pan-Asian countries has been selected and we analyses the data using advanced statistical methods and formulas such as Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (EGARCH) and Markov-switching (MS). In addition, this paper also analyses the data based on the combination between MS and EGARCH approach as the combination (MS-EGARCH) provided different views on the dynamic of volatility of pan-Asian listed property companies. Furthermore, the data is analyses based on three sub-periods: pre-GFC, GFC and post-GFC. Findings: The findings revealed that the markets are performing differently under different volatility conditions. Based on the EGARCH approach, Malaysia with other pan-Asian listed property companies does not shown any presence of negative spill-over effect. Furthermore, most countries in this region were highly volatile which was mostly contributed by the financial crisis. Meanwhile, the findings on the dynamic of volatility of Malaysian listed property companies based on MS-EGARCH approach reveals that the markets exhibited negative spill-over with leverage effect across three sub-periods. This suggest that the application of MS-EGARCH does provide different view on volatility dynamics than conventional EGARCH model as the MS-EGARCH provides more comprehensive findings, especially during extreme markets. Research Implication: Investors able to use this information for risk and volatility assessment for their future investment decision. Value: This study contributes to the literature on the dynamic of Malaysian listed property companies within pan-Asian countries as the approach on assessing the volatility performance based on different volatility conditions is less explored by previous researchers. Keywords: Sustainable investment, Markov-switching, Asian listed property companies, global financial crisis, Malaysia.

Ryan Christian C. Mercado

Business Administration Program, Institute of Accounts, Business & Finance, Far Eastern University, Manila, Philippines.

Objectives: Professionalism in the workplace is always a constant challenge for managers, using this as a metric to determine engagement and performance. However, employees who may be performing their jobs and producing the requisite numbers but fail to deliver proper work place attitudes and behavior is a far better concern for both business unit managers and human resources leaders as well. Findings: In terms of students performing certain jobs as interns in different reputable companies, certain concern raised by their respective supervisors in terms of leveling up their behavior in a more professional set up is imperative. The most common concerns raised include absences and tardiness of FEU-IABF SAP interns as huge areas for improvement. The same is observably true amongst students who have demonstrated such habits in the classroom and seemingly have carried it over in the work place. Such gap, according to managers, needs to be addressed in order to facilitate the proper growth and development of students prior to being hired as full time employees. Research design: The author has used a qualitative research by conducting focused group discussions (FGD) and formal interviews to gather and interpret pertinent data requisite for this research. The information the researcher has gathered has been interpreted accordingly to fit the aforementioned research proposal. Research implication: The research allows professors to better prepare interns in the world of work by making them realize what behaviors are necessary to develop professionalism in the workplace. The hiring probability of students, from interns to tenured employees, are also heightened so that their employment chances are better. Originality/value: The research will be subject to validation regarding plagiarism, albeit the fact that the author is confident enough that the research does not violate originality parameters.

Research Design: Data triangulation was done through one on one in- depth interviews with three residents and five non-residents of Pasig city as well as secondary sources (newspaper articles, Pasig city website and Pasig city bookazine). Moreover, Nvivo software was utilized for the analysis of the data. Findings: Findings revealed that non-residents of Pasig had knowledge about the city either through their relatives and friends residing there, it is the location of their work particularly in the business district-Ortigas Center and the Philippines Stock Exchange, an affair in the school located there and through the news. Best things about the city are their food parks and foods hubs mostly situated in Kapitolyo, infrastructures, the people and celebrations. In contrast, both residents and non-residents found that traffic in the city is a major problem that needs to be addressed. The city is known as the “Green city. Research Implications: The city was advertised frequently through segment features in different programs among local channels and print ads (tarpaulins and posters). Although there is a website and social media like Facebook and Twitter, but was often used for announcement of class suspensions. There is an opportunity for the local tourism government to exploit more on this medium to better promote the city as a “Green City”. They can also highlight through this medium the good infrastructures, places, festivals and food hubs that the city can offer. In terms of the use of Multisensory marketing model, Pasig city was engaged in Visual, Gustatory and Tactile Marketing strategies. Sight is the most obvious strategy utilized by the city as perceived by the residents and non-residents. The city also engaged in gustatory strategy because of the presence of food hubs, good parks and restaurants around the city. Originality/Value: To date, no literature was found about the destination image of Pasig city. It was in this research that uncovered the image of the city in the light of its residents and non-residents. The present study is valuable to the local city government of Pasig to exploit marketing strategies that will further emphasize the visual, gustatory and tactile aspects of the city.

Background: A shopping centre development project brings about a positive change to the community, as well as generates a lot of business opportunities, which in turn mean more employment and job opportunities for the locals. The body of literature only mentioned employment opportunities is one of the benefits of a shopping centre development, however, there is no numerical proof regarding employment opportunities generated therefrom. In particular, there was neither assessment nor measurement of employment opportunities generated by a shopping centre development being developed. Objective: This paper attempts to measure the employment opportunities generated by a shopping centre development project by developing physical parameters for the measurement on the basis of net-lettable area (NLA). Research Design: A grounded theory method (GTM) with an inductive approach as well as deductive orientation is employed in investigating an issue, and data were analyzed using a constant comparative method (CCM). The CCM-GTM design is employed; utilizing data/information from six operational shopping centers (comparison group) within Johor Bahru, comprised of Angsana Johor Bahru Mall, Pelangi Leisure Mall, Perling Mall, Sutera Mall, Galleria@Kotaraya Johor Bahru Mall, and Paradigm Mall. Findings and implications: The outcome of this study demonstrated parameters equation of employment density, which is derived from a set of a variable of employment quotient (EQ). The parameter can be applied by developers or Local Authority in assessing the benefits of a shopping centre development in terms of employment generation. Besides that, this paper exposed an ideal figure of retail mixes in a shopping centre. These outcomes made a contribution to the body of knowledge, particularly in the employment analysis of the retail industry. Originality/value: This paper provides a new method for assessing and measuring employment generated or created by a proposed shopping centre development using a physical parameter and provides an overview of the ideal figures of retail mixes together with the percentage’s distribution pattern for retail placement in a shopping centre.

Objective: During this age and time, the adoption of advanced approaches for forecasting house price movements is inevitable. The results can be produced with more speed, reliable and accurate output. The traditional approach for forecasting house price, namely the Hedonic Pricing Model (HPM) was argued for its predictive accuracy and reliability. Recently, there is an increasing attention in the application of artificial intelligence to forecast house prices. Artificial intelligence, through Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was identified to be able to address the shortcomings of HPM. Hence, this research seeks to evaluate the capability of the substituted model for HPM, which is the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model in forecasting house prices. Research Design: This study critically reviews previous studies on house price forecasting to identify the prediction performance of ANN compared with the traditional HPM. The performance of the models was assessed based on the values of R squared, Adjusted R Squared and Sum of Squared Errors. Findings: Based on the critical review, it was observed that the HPM is mostly used for forecasting house prices. Nonetheless, the problems of multicollinearity and autocorrelation besets the usefulness of the model leading to prediction inaccuracy. It was observed that ANN has superior prediction performance compared to HPM. This was evidenced through higher values of R squared and Adjusted R Squared and the lower value of Sum of Squared Errors. Research Implications: The disadvantages of the traditional HPM and the superior performance of ANN signifies the need for ANN in forecasting highly accurate house prices.

Traditionally, the Islamic education institution in Malaysia started with endowed or waqf infrastructure by individuals while the financial management was either from the education fees or public donation. Albeit of the willingness of the parents to spend, there is still lack of fund in managing the Islamic education institution. Thus, in securing the development sustainability of this education institution in terms of financial, the diversity of more stable financing sources would be needed. In the meantime, State Islamic Religious Council (SIRC) has significant collection of abandoned waqf land due to the limitation of fund for development. By benchmarking private property trust fund (PPTF) model which is a closed-end fund that expand the capital potential while preserving the use of the property, this study is aimed to develop and suggest a sustainable financing model for Islamic education institution.

Objectives: This paper explores the current literature base of key criteria for land bank investment, prepare a compilation, and identify any gaps that might exist. Research Design: 138 of journals were searched using key terms identified in a preliminary literature review. Successive rounds of article abstract reviews resulted in 85 articles being selected for the compilation. Key criteria constructs were then identified using content analysis methodology and an inductive coding technique. A subsequent critical analysis identified gaps in the literature base. Findings: The most significant finding is the lack of research that has focused on the identification of key criteria from the perspectives of key stakeholders. Plus, there appears to be much variance with respect to what exactly is encompassed by investment strategy, one of the most widely cited criteria, and little detail of specific implementation tactics. Research Implications: There is a need to focus future research efforts on the study of key criteria as they apply to the perspectives of key stakeholders and to ensure that this stakeholder approach is also comprehensive in its coverage of key criteria. As well, there is need to conduct more in-depth research into the concept of investment strategy. One key limitation of this research is the occurrence of duplication in the frequency analysis of the criteria. This is attributed to secondary research being the main methodology for a large number of the articles cited. Originality/value: This research provides a comprehensive compilation of all previously identified land bank investment key criteria, through a clearly structured methodological approach. Keywords: Investment, land bank, land development, criteria, stakeholder.

Research Findings: Reduction on property development project’ financing cost can reduce the burden to property developers, thereby reducing the price of homes offers or at least curb the high prices homes that affordable for the people. Implications: In the majority of cases, property development requires external financing sources. Only a gigantic developer with a strong financial fundamental capable of self-funding large capital- consuming projects. Compared to small and medium-sized developers, most are weak in monetary aspect and depend on external sources to start real estate development. A weak and less proven track record of performance has challenged for them in getting debt financing from financial institutions. Thus, property-LEAP and property-ECF will function as new financing mechanism for affordable housing property development. Practical: The LEAP was introduced in 2017 by Bursa Malaysia(BM) to facilitate small and medium enterprises (SME) and other companies with greater access to funds and visibility through the capital market and accessible only to sophisticated investors. Another mode of issuing financing is ECF promoted by BM in 2015, through authorised ECF platform.
