B. Using Abstract of quantitative research complete the table.

This study documented the species of medicinal plants used by Ayta communities in Dinalupihan, Bataan. The plant parts
used for medicinal purposes, preparations, mode of administration of these medicinal plants were determined. The most important
species based on use values and informant consensus factors were also calculated. Methods: A total of 26 informants were
interviewed regarding the plants they utilize for medicinal purposes. Free and prior informed consents were obtained from the
informants. Taxonomic identification was done in the Botany Division of the National Museum of the Philippines. Informant
consensus factor (FIC) and use values (UV) were also calculated. Results: Ayta communities listed a total of 118 plant species
classified into 49 families used as herbal medicines. The Family Fabaceae was the most represented plant family with 11 species.
Leaves were the most used plant part (43%). Majority of medicinal preparations were taken orally (57%). It was found that Psidium
guajava L. and Lunasia amara Blanco were the most commonly used medicinal plants in the three communities with the use value of
0.814. Conclusion: This documentation provides a catalog of useful plants of the Ayta and serves as a physical record of their culture
for the education of future Ayta generations.

Pampanga River traverses the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Bulacan and is the second largest river in
the whole of Luzon with a total length of 260 kilometers. It divides into small branches that empty to several fishponds
especially in the town of Candaba. This study aimed to initially identify the physicochemical characteristics of the river
using some parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates. Dissolved
oxygen, pH, and temperature were measured using DO meter, pH meter, and thermometer. Chemical tests were done on
site using test kits from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (API). It was found that ammonia and phosphate
concentrations exceeded the maximum value required by the DAO 34 -Water Quality Standard for Class C Water. The DO
concentration was below the minimum requirements for river water.
