There is a critical need for modern lake resource management in the Philippines because of climate change, disasters, intensive aquaculture and poor waste-management practices. To this end, we have deployed floating field-servers in Lake Palakpakin, one of the Seven Lakes in San Pablo City, Philippines monitoring conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and turbidity at two depths-0.5 and 2.5 meters for over a year, with web access to data by SMS. We also have deployed UAVs to image the lake area to quantify fish cage density, water hyacinth coverage and disaster damage. The local fisher folk report daily lake activities-fish-feeding, harvesting, and fish-kill events by taking pictures and other measured data using smartphone applications. We describe how these measurements are being integrated into a web-based decision-support system.Keywords-decision-support system; water quality sensing; floating field server; UAV imaging; participatory sensing I.1 978-1-4799-8055-0/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE

Abstract-The rapid growth of mobile learning is influenced by the ability to access learning content anytime and anywhere. The on demand capability is available because mobile devices allow for convergence of internet and communications technologies. At the same time, the availability of engines makes development of mobile applications faster and seamless. However, not all mobile development engines are alike. This paper discusses on the development of mobile learning applications using mobile development engines in teaching Filipinos on responsible voting.Specifically, this paper discusses how AndEngine, Ren'Py, and homegrown Usbong were used to develop a mobile board game and a mobile comic book to promote responsible voting to the Filipino youth.
