    Guerilla movement in Oton during the Japanese occupation of Panay: History and significance
    Antiquiera, Remigio G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1989-03)
    This is a research paper on the guerrilla movement in Oton during the Japanese occupation of Panay from April 15, 1942, up to the final disbandment of the different guerrilla units on July 31, 1945. The objectives of the study are: to find out the origin, goals, and objectives of the guerrilla movement in Oton; to identify the persons involve in the founding of the guerrilla movement in the area during the Japanese occupation of Panay; and to find out the significance of the guerrilla movement in Oton in relation to Panay's struggle to be liberated from the Japanese forces. The purpose of this study is to present, in a descriptive manner, the guerrilla movement in Oton during the Japanese occupation of Panay. The sources used are published and unpublished materials of soldiers and guerrillas, regarding their activities and experiences during the occupations. Also, the researcher was able to interview persons were actively participating in the guerrilla movement at that time, and other persons who had witnessed the Japanese occupation. The study was able to bring into light the nature of the guerrilla movement in Oton during the Japanese occupation of Panay and its significance in the defeat of the Japanese. The guerrillas of Oton, together with other unite attached to the 63rd RCT, were able to fill the gap in the overall plan of resistance in the southern towns of Iloilo. It was their active resistance that help facilitate the drive of the Americans to liberate the southern part of Iloilo. This, subsequently, weakened the southern defenses of the Japanese and enabled the combined force of Filipinos and Americans to liberate the rest of Panay.

    Effect of cow and chicken manures on milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskal) production in brackishwater ponds
    Aduma, Ignatius A. (College of Fisheries, University of the Philippines in the Visayas, 1984-05)
    A study using chicken and cow manures with basal application rates of 0.5 , 1,2 and 4 tons/ha was conducted. The effect of both manures on some selected physico­-chemical properties of the pond soil and water, primary productivity, and milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskal) yield were compared. Using 8 treatments with 3 replicates each in a completely randomized design, 24 units of 40 m2 ponds were stocked with 20 fingerlings/pond. The fish were cultured from September 22 to December 20, 1983 at the Brackishwater Aquaculture Center of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas College of Fisheries, Leganes, Iloilo, Philippines. The differences among treatments in terms of all physico-chemical parameters monitored were not significant except for the reactive phosphorus. Primary productivity in all treatments was at its peak during the 5th week, after which, it declined gradually apparently due to the combined effects of cloudy weather and low concentration of reactive phosphorus in the pond water. The highest mean net fish yield (680.9 kg/ha) and mean growth rate (1,54 g/day) were obtained in treatment 3 with 1 ton/ha of chicken manure. Treatment 2 (0*5 ton/ha of cow manure) had the lowest mean net fish yield (343.6 kg/ha) and likewise the lowest growth rate (0.80 g/day). The survival in all treatments was high, ranging from 95 to 100%. In general, chicken manure was superior to cow manure, however, fish production from the treatment with 2 tons/ha of cow manure was comparable to that of 2 tons/ha of chicken manure suggesting that cow manure could be used as organic fertilizer in brackish- water ponds for milkfish production.
