Graduating Class 1st term SY 2010-2011. It was participated

by the CE-EnSE Faculty members led by Engr. Divina

Gonzales, the graduating students and other CE-EnSE batches

who volunteered.

Upon arriving at the location, we have been acquainted to

Engr. Kit Lacerda, the project Engineer at the site. Together

with the homeowners who keep their posts on helping the

build, Engr. Kit welcomed all of us willingly and gave us a brief

tour and orientation on the activities that will be conducted at

the site. He had reminded all of us the precautions on being

free from hurt and injuries.

The volunteer students as well as the faculty members and

the people of Malabon were with the activities that were

scheduled on that day. The professors lend a hand in mixing

of the gravel and sand and hauling of the mixture to the

preferred location. The male students help out to the said

activity and assisted the homeowners on the concrete pouring

of slab at one of the house.

The female students and professors on the other hand,

engaged in painting of the exterior walls of one block houses.

Some students tried their efforts on welding of connections of

bars and bending of bars used for the cast in place walls.

The activities were only held for half a day but the

accomplishments are a milestone. According to Engr. Kit, our

accomplishments recorded were hauling of sand, one full block

painted wall, and assisting in concrete pouring on one ground

floor slab, 20 square metres. Also, he and the homeowners

were very grateful a lot of students and organizations

volunteers to help on the habitat sites around Manila since the

workers are the homeowners itself. On habitat as well, they

are using their owned designed hollow blocks which is called

interlocking blocks.

Evaluation of Financial Proposals for Architectural and Engineering Design Studies of Manila Cathedral

Two financial proposals for the architectural and design

studies of the Manila Cathedral were given to the Extension

Service Coordinator of CE-EnsE for evaluation. These two

proposals are the (1) Revised Financial Proposal for the

Detailed Architectural and Engineering Studies and Design of

the Manila Cathedral and the (2) Technical and Financial

Proposal for Consulting Services for the Structural

Investigation and Detailed Design of Retrofitting and Repair of

the Manila Cathedral. Both documents were submitted by Dr.

Angel Lazaro.

These proposals cannot be fairly evaluated due to the lack of

its basis since necessary documents such as the architectural

and structural plans of the cathedral were not provided. Also,

no results of ocular inspection were attached with the

proposals. For future submission of financial proposals, it is

recommended that the scope of works with schedule and

costing be specifically enumerated, accompanied by pertinent

data and documents.

Barangay Talite consists of several sitios. The two sitios

involved in this project were Sitio Henalong and Sitio Gabot.

Most of the civil structures were installed in Sitio Henalong,

such as the powerhouse, fore bay, penstock, headrace and

tailrace. Sitio Henalong and Gabot consist of 15 and 12

households, respectively. Sitio Gabot is 600 meters away from

the nearest house of Sitio Henalong and because of this

distance which needs a lot of electrical wires to bring the

electricity to the community of Sitio Gabot, the M.E. extension

service team would electrify first the household of Sitio

Henalong (the first phase of the project).

Journey from the barangay proper of Talite to Sitio Henalong

The contribution and role of the locals in this project as agreed

upon during the meeting with barangay and municipal officials

was provision of the labor force in the construction of most of

the civil works such as the riprapping of the fore bay, head

race and tailrace. They also provided local materials such as

wood and bamboo for electrical posts. They were also

responsible for the clearing and preparation of the roads to be

used by the extension service team to install the main

electrical line.

The Tramway that transports goods and people

Rip-rapping is a local technology on which the Ifugao are

known for hundreds of years. They used this technology in

building the magnificent rice terraces in Banaue, Hungduan

and Mayoyao. Even today, their skills are still used in the

construction of vertical and horizontal structures in the famous

mountainous area of northern Philippines such as Baguio,

Tagaytay and Benguet. It is an art and science of forming the

stone (a type of volcanic rock, adobe in native dialect) into a

strong wall that could prevent the soils and pebbles from

eroding due to the weight and forces from water flow.

Kinabuhayan, Dolores, Quezon Barangay Hall

Mt. Banahaw is located along the boundary of Laguna and

Quezon provinces. The mountain and its environment are

considered sacred by the local residents because of its "holy

water", which allegedly have beneficial qualities, issuing forth

from local springs. These are composed of unique, natural

features such as rock formations, caves, falls and springs with

shrines erected in, on or around them. It is a traditional

pilgrimage site for locals and tourists, especially during the

Lenten Season, because it is considered by many to be a "holy

mountain".

Last October 22 the thesis group advised by Engr. Fred

Salazar of the School of Mechanical Engineering went to

Kinabuhayan, Dolores in Quezon to deliver the materials and

equipment needed for the installation of the Pico-hydropower

system in one of the falls located in Kinabuhayan. This Pico-

hydropower system will produce an estimated power of 1.5kW

that will provide lighting in the grotto where devotees tend to

have an overnight stay.

Shortly after arriving at Mang Kleto’s house (Lito Tanyag), the

resident tour guide in the area, the group went to the

barangay hall to store the materials needed in the installation

of the project.

Engr. Salazar was planning and discussing to the group the design

and orientation of the foundation for the penstock. Due to rough

terrain along the way to the site, Engr. Salazar decided not to go

along with the group; instead Engr. Mark Balberona takes charge on

the planning upon reaching the location.

PICO HYDRO POWER SYSTEM IN KINABUHAYAN, DOLORES, QUEZON (2nd VISIT)

Last November 16-17, 2010 the Extension Service team of the

School of Mechanical Engineering, composed of faculty

members and M.E. students (who were conducting their

undergraduate thesis) visited the Pico-hydro site in

Kinabuhayan, Dolores, Quezon. The visit aims to do the

following:

1. To do the civil works in the turbine intake such as

clearing and cleaning of the site to make the

intake deeper and prevent the foreign object from

entering penstock.

2. To divert the flow of water while clearing the

intake and allow curing of the concrete.

3. To be fit the penstock with the foundation and

verify some necessary adjustment on the bolt

arrangement and measurements of elbows and

fittings.

The thesis group of Engr. Salazar went to Kinabuhayan,

Dolores, Quezon for the second visit to the Pico-hydro Power

System Project. The group arrived at around 8:00 in the

morning to start the construction of the fore bay and intake of

the Pico-hydropower system.

After a twenty-minute walk across the mountain slope, the group already reached the location and started the work.

INSTALLATION OF 3kW PICO-HYDROELECTRIC PLANT IN BARANGAY TALITE, SITIO HENALONG (PHASE 1: 3rd VISIT)

Last August 6 – 9, 2010 the Extension Service team of the

School of Mechanical Engineering, composed of faculty

members and student members of the American Society of

Mechanical Engineers Mapua Student Section went to

Barangay Talite, Aguinaldo, Ifugao to finish the first phase of

the electrification project of Sitio Henalong. The aim of this

visit was to finish the installation of the 3 kVA Pico-

hydroelectric plant. The visit was scheduled because the team

was informed by the locals that they have already finished the

construction of the civil works.

Journey from the town proper of Talite to Sitio Henalong

During the absence of the team in the community, the locals

were tasked to finish the following civil works;

- Riprapping of the fore bay.

- Digging of the canals for headrace and tailrace.

- Installation of electrical posts

- Building of the powerhouse

- Pipe laying of the penstock, and

- Installation of the turbine-generator set-up.

SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

After the inspection of the civil works, the team started to

connect the generator to the main electrical line. Then, the

household wirings were connected to the main electrical line

and the electrical lamps (CFL lamp) were distributed to the

individual households to test the whole system. Each

household was given 2 to 3 units of CFL lamp with a rating of

11 watts each.

Testing of the Turbine-Generator Set-up

As a result, the first phase of this project was finished

smoothly, because of the full cooperation of the locals and

supports from their barangay and municipal officials. During

the actual loading, the needle valve was not fully opened and

the full flow of water through the turbine was not used. The

actual electrical loads were smaller than the rating capacity of

the machine and the available power from the water in the

site. It is then recommended to continue the phase two of the

project which is the electrification of Sitio Gabot to

compensate the extra-power of the Pico-hydroelectric plant

installed in Sitio Henalong. This proposal will also give stability

and protection to the system from over-speeding and sudden

change of the load.

Phase 1: 2ND PICO-HYDRO PROJECT IN IFUGAO

Last April 7 – 11, 2010 the Extension Service Team of the

School of Mechanical Engineering went to Aguinaldo, Ifugao to

conduct the Phase 1 of the 2nd PICO-HYDRO PROJECT IN

IFUGAO. The Phase 1 of the project aims to:

- Look for potential site of Pico–hydro in Aguinaldo,

Ifugao that is near to Barangay Majlong (where the 1st

Pico-hydro Project was built).

- Dialogue with the barangay officials of the said location

regarding the commitment, responsibilities and

obligations of each party (between the locals and

Mapua).

- Estimate the head (height of the water source) and the

available capacity of water (volume flow rate of water).

The said project was initiated by the American Society of

Mechanical Engineers – Mapua Student Chapter through their

Diversity Action Grant (ASME-DAG) and with the help of the

Extension Service Team from the Faculty of the School of

Mechanical Engineering of Mapua.

Potential Site:

To easily maintain, inspect and visit all the Pico-hydro projects

made by Mapua the potential site for the second project

should be near from the first project (in Majlong, Aguinaldo,

Ifugao). Aside from this, it allows ease in communication with

the locals, rationalized technology transfer and trim down the

training of the locals.

Tramway which can be used for transportation of materials and equipment on the duration of the project

On the technical aspect, the team is looking for a high head

water source (elevated water source of around 20 m) so that

the team could install an impulse-type turbine because of its

simplicity in construction. Impulse turbine can be installed

open to the atmosphere while the reaction type turbine

requires a pressurized casing to stabilize its operation and to

prevent cavitation.

SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Dialogue with the Barangay Officials:

Before the visitation of the site, the team conducted a

courtesy visit to the municipal hall of Aguinaldo, Ifugao and

had a conversation with the Vice-Mayor Gaspar B. Chilagan.

The topics of the discussion with Hon. Chilagan were all about

the objectives of the project, the approximate budget allotted

by Mapua (which is acquired from ASME-DAG) and the

obligations and responsibilities between Mapua and the locals.

According to Engr. Luna, Mapua is expecting for the share of

the community (locals) in this project in the form of financial

assistance from their community funds and/or supports such

as labor work during the construction phase, so that they

could have a sense of ownership of the project.

Dialogue with the Vice Mayor of Aguinaldo, Ifugao, Hon. Gaspar B. Chilagan Jr. (left with Prof. Luna)

After meeting with the municipal officials, the team proceeds

to the site inspection together with Manong Noel Paynohon (a

person from the first hydro project in Majlong) and the

barangay councilors of Barangay Talite (also in the

municipality of Aguinaldo) which serves as our guide. After the

site inspection the team had a dialogue with the barangay

officials and discussed with them the purposed of the said

visit, the tentative time table of the project and the things that

Mapua can provide in the project.

The locals had a positive reply during the conversation and

the two parties (Mapua and the people of Barangay Talite)

resolute to the drafting of the Memorandum of Agreement

(MOA). Engr. Luna was assigned to draft the MOA and this will

be ratified either through mail or through communication

between Engr. Galera and Manong Noel.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR REVIEW FOR SOPHOMORE STUDENTS OF CARLOS P. GARCIA HIGH SCHOOL

The extension service of the English Cluster faculty members

of the School of Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences

(SLHS) held on February 12, 2010 at C.P. Garcia High School

in Pandacan, Manila aimed to remedy the problems

encountered by the sophomore students on their subject-verb

agreement.

The extension service team was composed of six faculty

members who were divided into two groups: the morning

tutors and the afternoon tutors. Both groups handled two

sections each. The morning session took over sections 1 and 5

while the afternoon session had sections 8 and 9. 58 students

joined the class in the morning while 35 were present in the

afternoon giving a total of 93 students served during the

extension.

The morning team was composed of Ms. Coline Cardeño, Mr.

Juan Carlos Santos and Ms. Ann Millaine Ambayec. The

afternoon team was composed of Mr. Edward Jay Quinto, Ms.

Ryza Carreon and Ms. Elsa Sabularse. The six tutors of the

extension service are English faculty members from SLHS

Intramuros.

Students taking their Pre-test

The morning and afternoon groups both conducted a pre-test

among students which served as a basis of where the tutors

start. After taking the pre-test, the students immediately

checked the papers and the following results and data were

found, and hereby tabulated.

After the pre-test, the tutors proceeded with the class proper

wherein they discussed the ruled on subject-verb agreement.

14 rules were discussed during the class and the approach and

examples given were anchored on the results of the pre-test;

that is, students discovered their error and used the same

items to correct the error. Example sentences were also given

to make sure that students understood each rule.

Reading their Grammar Modules

The discussion ran for a couple of minutes more than an hour

and the two extension teams made sure that the rules were

understood by the students.

SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES, HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES

51

After the discussion and the question and answer, both teams

proceeded to the post test which still is a 20-item test on

subject-verb agreement. This test examined how well the

students understood the lesson.

Analyzing the results of the post test, it may be derived that

students improved on the subject matter since the results

show increase in passing percentage of students.

The passing percentage of students in the morning session is

originally higher since these students come from higher

sections (1 and 5) compared to those of the afternoon session

(8 and 9). However, looking at the percentage improvement,

the afternoon students had a bigger increase.

The morning group had a 7% increase in students’ passing

while the afternoon group registered a 15% increase. From

these, numerical data, it may also be understood that the

purpose of bringing about improvement among students was

achieved.

Although there were difficulties encountered by both the

tutors and the tutees like an ongoing activity which disturbed

the class especially the afternoon session, the purpose has

been delivered and nothing was wasted in the extension

service held at C.P. Garcia High School.

training was held three Fridays at the Makati Campus with

lessons on familiarization with a computer, surfing the

internet, creating email accounts, sending emails, and

downloading and uploading of files.

As before, the recipients aged 55 to 73(?) were in their high

spirits when the training started. With a step-by-step lecture

from Ms. Mary Jane Samonte and Mr. Ricardo de Leon of the

Physics Department, the seniors were painstakingly guided

into using the computers for personal (communicating with

friends and loved ones), business, and research reasons.

Assisting our faculty members were members of different

student organizations: Student council, ACM, and Webmasters.

Also present to facilitate the training was Mr. Ephraim Canete,

a new faculty of the School of IT.

Social Housing Development

The project output included a geodetic survey and a

redevelopment plan. The planning consultancy service

rendered were alternative redevelopment plans for the fire

affected area and for the entire Gasangan area in the Baseco

Compound, Barangay 649, Zone 68, Port Area, Manila. While

the engineering consultancy services were geodetic surveys to

get the boundaries of the Gasangan area and the extent of the

fire affected area.

The fire occurred in January 15, 2010 which rendered more

than 200 families homeless. The affected families are currently

living in tents where the conditions are difficult as they have

no water, electricity and the summer heat is becoming more

intense with the coming of the summer season.

“Feeding the Lambs”

“Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the

unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us

not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.” – Mother

Theresa

The “Feeding of the Lambs” has been a program of the

Medical Ambassadors of the Philippines (MAP). It is a feeding

program for 35 identified malnourished children belonging to

the Muslim Community in Quiapo, Manila. The collaboration of

San Lorenzo School of Health and Sciences with the said

organization was established 2 years ago through Prof. Dawn

Capaque. This year, the students of NCM 100L- Related

Learning Experience for Fundamentals of Nursing together

with their respective faculty were tasked to continue the

linkage and conduct the said program which was held last Feb.

18, 2010.

Aside from the academic point of view, this reach-out project

serves a way for the school and its students give back the

blessings they have receive through an atmosphere of love

and care by helping the less fortunate.

The objectives of the activity are the following:

1) Prepare a one dish meal rich in carbohydrate-protein-

mineral nutrients.

2) Assess target group for significant data on their

present health status and make appropriate referrals.

3) Creatively impart adequate and age-appropriate

knowledge and skills on proper hygiene, proper

nutrition and proper exercise to the target population.

4) Observe, interact and behave appropriately in a

transcultural setting.

5) Display characteristics of a professional nurse through

caring attitude.

Health teaching to promote good health practices

One of the roles of a nurse is to become a health educator.

Most activities geared to achieving health promotion and

disease prevention are realized through good and effective

health teaching. Thus, this activity provided a venue for the

students to hone their skills in conducting health teachings. It

will help them identify strengths as well as weaknesses which

they can work on to further improve such skills. The students

were given 4 days to prepare their teaching strategies and

learning content through the accomplishment of their health

teaching plan.

68

Tasks were divided and delegated equally as a core group of

leaders were established. The budget for the said activity was

allocated effectively. The students made contributions to come

up with the budget. Monetary donations were also handed

down by Dean Deogracia Valderrama herself. Contact with the

MAP representative was also made possible by Ms. Anna

Binayug, Prof. Dawn Capaque and Prof. Delia Tan since she is

one of the Board Members of MAP.

Distribution of meal to the children with the help from volunteers

During the said activity, students performed their specific

tasks as planned. While some were preparing the meals, most

of the groups were conducting health teaching. Every student

was given a chance to participate in the health teachings as

they took turns. It was the student’s first time to conduct an

actual health teaching. Even so, they were able to exhibit

marginally accepted performance. Prizes such as toothbrushes

were given as positive feedback during the evaluation of the

children’s learning.

The success of this activity is through the effort of the Medical Ambassadors of the Philippines, faculty, and students

OUTREACH

The outreach started as soon as the professor arrived. He

discussed some things before going to the application part of

the program. Each group of students was given facilitators.

These facilitators are us, the member of the participating

organization. They picked the members who will fit this

activity and we ensured that they have knowledge about the

topic. In preparation to this, we had a seminar that was

conducted by Engr. Latina of the EECE Dep’t.

The students are very active and very eager to learn. They

pay attention to everything the professor is teaching to them

and they are motivated by this attitude they showed us. It is

not very hard to teach them since the part of the PCB Layout

that was assigned to us was not difficult enough for them not

to understand it. It is only about the basic usage of multimeter

and its function.

Some of us shared their knowledge about the topic not only

the things we are required to teach them on that day because

the application part was long enough to do this. The students

and facilitators had a good time communicating with each

other. Some talked about to their plans on the future after the

outreach program, some facilitators motivate the students to

continue what they started which is learning about computers

because it is really good today that a person know how to

literately use computers and some laughed with each other by

the stories they shared on that day.
