The study was conducted in six public green spaces of Bacolod City and Iloilo City. It aims to determine the floristic composition and diversity of public green spaces in major urban cities in Western Visayas, Philippines. A hundred percent inventory was done to determine the data of this study. Eucalyptus camaldulensis was the most common tree species in Bacolod City while Swietenia macrophylla was prevalent in Iloilo City. Of the 1,892 woody species in Bacolod City, there were 52 species, 45 genera, and 26 families. In Iloilo City, there were 563 woody species, comprising 34 species, 33 genera, and 21 families of trees. Simpson Diversity Index was high in the green spaces of Iloilo City and moderately high in Bacolod City. Species eucalyptus, genus Eucalyptus and family Myrtaceae in Bacolod City, and S. macrophylla, Acacia auriculiformis and Terminalia catappa, genus Swietenia and family Meliaceae exceed threshold level of diversity for urban trees. Species importance value based on dbh and crown diameter shows that E. camaldulensis was the most important species in green spaces of Bacolod City. On the other hand, S. macrophylla was the most important species in green spaces of Iloilo City based on dbh and crown diameter. 2017-12-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14353/269 Original Ilonggo compositions: familiarity, management, sustainability, and sustainability, and implications to music education Bebit, Erlinda V. Original Ilonggo music compositions are overly heard via social media and in school for instruction. This mixed method study was born out of the collection, preservation, marketing, and uses of original Ilonggo music compositions. Participants’ familiarity, management, sustainability, as well as the implications to music education was determined. Two of each seven music genres composed of folk, pop, rap, march, hymn, inspirational, and religious music for a total of fourteen (14) compositions were purposely selected. The elementary and secondary music teachers in the province of Iloilo, Negros Occidental, and Guimaras served as respondents. Questionnaires and interview questions were made for composers, music teachers, and listeners. Results show that majority of the listeners were familiar of the compositions presented; Dalawidaw ranked 1 and Ang Balay nga Diutay ranked 2. For instruction, Provincial Jail was mostly used. The music teachers and composers had unanimous choice for cultural endeavor as highly managed and marketability and social endeavor were moderately managed. The music teachers indicated that cultural concerns, religious activities, specific instructional music materials, and acquisition of the materials from the Department of Education when used were highly sustained. Composers and music teachers have concern on the management, sustainability, and implications to music education. Hence, the original Ilonggo compositions are helpful in teaching music especially to the present K to 12 program using mother-tongue as medium of expression. 2017-12-01T00:00:00Z
