Relating body mass index and food intake of Grade 8 students at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid-La Union Campus Laboratory High School
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2025-05) Atos, Jayson S.; Dacumos, Renzon Hauen C.; Galiste, Camille U.; Marquez, Joel G.; Dulay, Jhanna Marie B.; Boado, Noem M.; Flores, Ruchelle D.; Salcedo, Lorna S.; Bentres, Andrea G.
This study investigated the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and food intake among Grade 8 students. Specifically, it aimed to determine: (1) the demographic profile of students in terms of age, gender, BMI classification, and physical activity level; (2) the types and frequency of food intake based on the Daily Nutritional Guide Pyramid; and (3) the association between BMI and food consumption patterns. The researchers utilized descriptive-correlational research design and gathered data from 60 respondents using anthropometric tools and survey instruments such as Food Frequency Questionnaires and 24-Hour Dietary Recall. Results showed that the majority of students had a normal BMI and were very active. However, there was also a notable percentage of students who were underweight or overweight. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between BMI and consumption of specific food groups including dairy products, legumes, snacks, and processed foods. The study highlights the need for nutrition education and targeted meal planning to promote healthier food choices among adolescents. Findings serve as a basis for future school-based nutrition interventions.
Monitoring and evaluation of absenteeism in PATHFIT 101
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2025-05) Monis, Mary Joy C.; Nerona, Angela Mariz B.; Orfiano, Rojhan G.; Dulay, Jhanna Marie B.; Marquez, Joel G.; Salcedo, Lorna S.
This study investigates the Absenteeism of EMT students at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid-La Union Campus. Using a descriptive quantitative approach with post-test design, data were collected from 47 students through Likert-scale using the surveys questionnaire. This study determined the following: (1) Perceived factors contributing to absenteeism of full-time students enrolled in PATHFIT 101; (2) Perceived factors contributing to absenteeism of working students enrolled in PATHFIT 101; and (3) What intervention activities could be recommended. The findings can inform policy decisions and program improvements to make PATHFIT more accessible, relevant, and appealing to students, ultimately improving the quality of physical education in the institution. For future researchers, this study serves as a foundation for further research on physical education attendance, providing data and analysis that can support broader investigations on student wellness, motivation, and academic success.
Development of taro (Colocasia esculenta) polvoron
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2021-05) Ogoc, Eric N.; Camacho, Angelica A.; Dumpit, Rochelle N.; Florague, Jonamy R.; Saltiban, Mayranel C.; Cantoria, Daniel C.; Andrada, Gerry D.; Gapuz, Evangelina C.; Costales, Riza Agustina A.
The study focused on the development of polvoron using taro (Colocasia esculenta) as an ingredient. It utilized an experimental design and acceptability testing involving 30 respondents. Four treatments were formulated, including a control recipe and treatments containing different proportions of taro flour. The sensory attributes evaluated were color, texture, aroma and flavor, and general acceptability. The study used the weighted arithmetic mean and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to analyze the data. The findings showed that Treatment 2 was very much liked and had the highest overall acceptability among the formulations, while no significant differences were found among and between the treatments in terms of color, texture, aroma and flavor, and general acceptability.

(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2019-12) Polintang, Mharck Jon P.; Madrid, Ronalyn B.; Ballesteros, Arlene M.
This study aimed to developed a Multi-Platform Field Service Management System for LUECO. Specifically, it sought answers to the following: determine the problems encountered by LUECO in their dispatch of the job order; develop a Field Service Management System aided with Extreme Programming (XP) intended for LUECO; determine the level of usability of the developed system by using the Software Usability Measurement Inventory (SUMI) as usable by the end-users in terms of affect, efficiency, helpfulness, control, learnability and others.
The Multi-Platform Field Service Management System for LUECO used descriptive and developmental research designs in the development of the system. A total of ten (10) respondents composed of five (5) linemen, two (2) Dispatch Officers and three (3) Customer Assistance Officers (CAO)were selected through total enumeration. Documentary analysis, interview guide and survey questionnaire were used as data gathering tools. The development of the system used the XP model; the system was validated using the SUMI and it was found out to be highly usable.
