The mineral status of native goats and forage species, namely; Cynodon plectostachyus, Pennisetum purpureum. Eleusine indica, Cynodon dactylon, Calopogonium muconoides, Centrosema pubescens, Leucaena leococephala, and Mimosa pudica in lahar affected areas of Concepcion, Tarlac, Philippines were determined. Forage and blood samples were collected six times in 1996-97, and analyzed for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, copper, iron, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. Forage calcium and sulfur are non-limiting. Most species had low phosphorus, copper and selenium, while some had magnesium and zinc levels lower than the critical limit because of low mineral content and high percolation rate of lahar deposits. Iron and molybdenum were in excess. The effect of seasonal variation was observed only in copper, sulfur and iron. Average blood mineral concentration of the animals was above critical limit, but there were no significant differences between seasons. All the animals had plasma phosphorus and magnesium above critical level; but 20 % had low copper, zinc and selenium especially in dry season possibly due to insufficient amount of these elements and excessive molybdenum and iron in most forage. Conversely, calcium in forage was high; but 40 % of the animals had low plasma calcium concentration. Although no clinical signs of mineral deficiencies were observed, supplemental feeding would be important since the condition of the pasture in lahar-laden areas is not expected to improve in the next five years. Intensified use of L. leucocephala with better mineral profile would be ideal.

Purpose: This study aims to determine the marketability of the heritage sites in Region III, Philippines. More specifically, it will obtain information on the: (a) profile of the heritage sites in Central Luzon; (b) dimensional issues of their marketability along social, environmental, and economic lines; (c) quality of services in terms of tangibility, responsiveness, empathy, assurance, and reliability; and (d) its business model canvas. Research design, data, and methodology: This will utilize a descriptive survey of the heritage sites in Central Luzon, namely: Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Zambales, and Bataan. There will be 60 respondents, including 5 facilitators, 24 residents, and 31 tourists. The results will be statistically measured through the measures of central tendencies, dispersion, and the test of significance. Result and conclusion: This study will comprehensively examine the local tourism sector, benefiting various stakeholders. It serves as a valuable resource for tourists by providing insights into destination marketing strategies and enhancing heritage tourism experiences. Administrators benefit from coping strategy evaluations, aiding in the formulation of effective strategies aligned with industry goals. Tourism businesses align with industry objectives and the study streamlines ordinances for site protection for local government units. Additionally, the community gains empowerment through insights into employable activities and potential businesses, influencing assessments of the justification for local preservation ordinances.
