Abstract

This study aims to cater to the millennials' perceptions of Filipino Superstitious Beliefs and how they can affect one person's behavior and performance. The study investigated the following questions: (1) What are the reasons why the chosen respondents believe in superstitions? (2) What are the effects of superstitions on the lives of millennials? (3) What are the perspectives of millennials nowadays on some Filipino superstitious beliefs? (4) How can superstitious beliefs affect one person’s performance and behavior? We used the qualitative method, specifically phenomenological in the research design. We conducted interviews and questionnaires. Data was recorded, analyzed, classified, and organized using necessary measurements and analyses. Believing in superstitions can be one of the basic traditions that are taught to Filipinos while they growing up. It is proven that not all millennials have forgotten the sense of believing in some Filipino superstitious beliefs.  All responses from the participants had different senses of values. They also do have the same idea on how they can give back respect to our ancestors. Being superstitious can influence perspectives, giving impact to everything for making execution and decision. Indeed, it is on a specific test to the response to fake treatments. The study found out that millennials still believe in the power of superstitions based on their experiences, the traditions of their old ones, or even the ancestors. This study is an approach to clarify the understanding of superstitions in the current time.

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the antibacterial effect of Calabash Leaf and Fruit Extracts on the preservation of lettuce affected with Escherichia coli. Additionally, this was done to assess the following: change in length of lesion on lettuce leaves depending on the effectiveness of the different concentrations of treatments; and significant difference of the extracts. The experimental research design was employed in which 2 set-ups were prepared by setting Calabash Leaf Extract and Calabash Fruit Extract. Each set-up has 3 treatments with different concentrations. The antibacterial activity of different concentrations of extracts was evaluated after 3 days of observation through interpreting the change in the size of the 1 mm purposively-made lesion on lettuce leaves. The investigations were focused on the damaged part measured. t-test results revealed that the t-value calculated was smaller than the critical value at a 5% level of significance, thus the difference is not significant. These findings revealed that the Calabash extracts equally possess a high antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli. The Calabash Leaf and Fruit Extracts can potentially be considered as an alternative tool to prevent plant-tissue deterioration and to prolong the shelf life of crops and vegetables.
