Researchers from the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) and Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) are seeking to develop science-based monitoring techniques and planning guidelines for sustainable water resource management in tourist islands, such as Boracay Island.
This was disclosed by DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña during his weekly report on Friday, April 9.
Supported by the DOST-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD), the project “intends to provide a comprehensive understanding on the water conditions and outlook,” he said.
“Guidelines in the management of both surface and groundwater resources in the Nabaoy River Watershed and Boracay Island will be formulated as well.”

CONSUMERS beware: It may not be real honey you are buying.
Researchers from the Department of Science and Technology’s Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) found that at least three of four honey brands being sold in the Philippines are not pure or are fake.
The questionable products contained or were almost fully low-cost syrups made from sugarcane and corn syrup, they said, citing tests using internal standard stable carbon isotope ratio analysis (Iscira).
The study’s results were presented by the PNRI last week as part of this year’s Philippine Nuclear Research and Development Conference.“Adulterated honey takes up 75% to 86.5% of the local market, ” said Angel Bautista VII of the PNRI as he presented the results.
