A study was conducted to provide genetic information on the matrilineal phylogeny and genetic diversity of Red junglefowl (RJF) and native chickens in Samar Island, Philippines and to identify the genetic distance between Philippine junglefowls and other RJF species in Southeast Asia using complete mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences. A total of 5 RJFs and 43 native chickens from Samar Island were included in this study. The results showed that Samar RJFs had a nucleotide diversity of 0.0050±0.0016, which was lower than those of three subspecies of , and . Meanwhile, Samar native chickens showed lower nucleotide diversity (0.0056±0.0004) than domestic fowls in some neighboring Southeast Asian countries, but higher than those in African and European countries. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 3 haplotypes of Samar RJFs clustered to haplogroup D1, and that 2 haplotypes clustered to haplogroup D2. Chickens native to Samar Island showed 100% resemblance to those in the haplogroup shared by domestic chickens and RJFs. Haplogroups A and B and sub-haplogroups D1 and E1 were the more widely distributed matrilineal lineages in Samar Island. Phylogenetic analysis of Samar RJFs showed that they were closely related to Myanmar RJFs (99.6%), Indonesia RJFs (99.5%), and Thailand RJFs (99.1%). This study is an initial investigation estimating the matrilineal phylogeny and genetic diversity of chicken populations in Samar Island, Philippines for developing strategies aimed at the future conservation and improvement of valuable genetic resources.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term viability of an opportunistic amoeba species in freshwater samples from the Philippines after being stored for 3 years at room temperature.
- Samples were filtered and cultured, revealing a 33% positivity rate for the amoeba, with various genotypes identified across different regions (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao).
- The findings suggest that unpreserved water samples can remain viable for extended periods, posing a potential health risk due to the increased likelihood of human and animal contamination.

Background: Nurse education is critical for preparing student nurses for clinical practice, but the transition to clinical settings poses numerous challenges. A standardized scale to assess student nurses' adjustment in the clinical area is lacking in the Philippines.
Objective: This paper described the development and evaluation of the Clinical Adjustment Scale for Student Nurses (CAS-SN).

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) are vital for global climate change mitigation and offer diverse local ecosystem co-benefits. Despite existing literatures on integrating national and international BCE agendas at the local level, the development and implementation of localized BCE strategies often lag behind. To provide insights on this knowledge gap, we present a case study conducted in Eastern Samar, Philippines.

Article Synopsis
- Schistosomiasis affects around 12 million people in the Philippines, primarily due to a lack of awareness and limited prevention efforts.
- The study uses GIS and MaxEnt algorithms to identify high-risk habitats for the snail vector O. h. quadrasi, which is crucial for the life cycle of Schistosoma japonicum.
- Results indicate that factors like temperature and precipitation influence snail distribution, with several regions identified as high-suitability habitats, and climate change may further expand transmission zones.
