    Viability of producing functional food
    Yap, Julio P. Jr. (Panay News, Inc., 2018-07-27)
    The production or processing of functional food is becoming one of the fast growing segments of the country’s food industry. Functional food contains both essential nutrients and health promoting non-nutrients. However, fish sauce and other fermented food products may not be considered functional food due to their high salt content. Fortunately, a project of the University of the Philippines (UP) Visayas was able to produce fish sauce which is derived from mussel. Since this kind of fish sauce is low in salt, it can be a potential functional food and ingredient.

    What lies beneath: exploring Benham Rise's unknown treasures
    Cinco, Maricar (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2017-03-18)
    Benham Rise, the underwater landmass northeast of Luzon that the United Nations declared part of the Philippines’ continental shelf, has been grabbing headlines because of the presence of Chinese ships that may or may not have been given permission to do research in the area, according to conflicting claims by President Duterte, Defense chief Delfin Lorenzana, as well as Foreign Affairs officials. What remains undisputed, however, are the possible trove of mineral and gas deposits about 3,000 meters below the water’s surface that have yet to be discovered. Sometimes referred to as the Benham Plateau, the landmass, described to have a craggy or rough surface, is bigger than Luzon or almost half the size of the Philippine’s total land area. It extends eastward off the provinces of Aurora and Isabel, and the Bicol region, but has always been connected to Luzon’s landmass through the Bicol and Palanan saddles.

    A new technology to boost mussel production
    Yap, Julio Jr. (Panay News, Inc., 2017-06-11)
    Majority of the mussel farmers in the country have been using the conventional stake method for their mussel production. It is said that from this method, which have been practiced locally for many years, could produce up to 150 sacks per hectare only. As a substitute for the traditional stake method, mussel longline culture technology was introduced to help the farmers improve their yield. The technology could also produce superior quality mussels, and reduce siltation in mussel beds.
