Development and Validation of a Representative Driving Cycle for Metro Manila: A Data-Driven Approach to Assess Vehicle Emissions and Inform Emission Reduction Strategies

(Corresponding) Corpus R., Biona J.
Topic: 
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Metro Manila's severe traffic congestion and air pollu-tion demand accurate emission assessment tools. Standard driving cycles often fail to capture unique local conditions, leading to flawed inventories. This paper details the data-driven development and valida-tion of the Metro Manila...Read more

(Corresponding) Corpus R., (Corresponding) Bayani M., Aguilar J., (Corresponding) Aguilar H.
Topic: 
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
The Philippines is rapidly expanding its renewable energy (RE) capacity to meet ambitious targets of 35% RE in the power generation mix by 2030 and 50% by 2040. However, the increasing penetration of intermittent sources like solar and wind poses significant challenges to grid stability and...Read more

Integrating ESG and Social Economy Principles into Philippine Curriculum: A Framework for Sustainable Development

(Corresponding) Corpus R., (Corresponding) Bayani M., Aguilar J., (Corresponding) Aguilar H.
Topic: 
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The global stress on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Social Economy (SE) principles is vital for sustainable development. Integrating these into Philippine education is paramount given national environmental and social challenges, yet a systematic curriculum approach is lacking...Read more

Optimization of Drive Cycle Generation for Green Route Planning in the Philippines: A Data-Driven Approach to Mitigating Urban Vehicle Emissions

(Corresponding) Corpus R., Biona J.
Topic: 
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Air quality and environmental sustainability are seriously threatened by the Philippines' rapid urbanization and rising vehicle density. Conventional route design mostly emphasizes the reduction of trip time or distance, often overlooking the ecological consequences of driving behavior. This...Read more

Decomposition analysis of ASEAN countries CO2 emissions from electricity generation

Bayani M., (Corresponding) Corpus R., (Corresponding) Aguilar J., (Corresponding) Aguilar H.
Topic: 
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
ASEAN is a group of countries in the south east asia that promotes economic political and security cooperation among its members. The demand for energy has increase by approximately 60% in the last 20 years. About 4 % of the Global carbon dioxide emission was emitted from the region in 2014 and...Read more

Quaternary treatments in the upgrading of wastewater treatment plants: micropollutant removal and operation reliability

(Corresponding) Verlicchi P., Grillini V., Galletti A.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The recent revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) requires the implementation of quaternary treatments (QT) for large wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and for small ones placed in risk areas in order to reduce micropollutants (MPs) content. The current study compares the operation...Read more

Assessing the Effect of Temperature and Biomass Composition for Hydrogen Production through Gasification

(Corresponding) Ramos A.
Topic: 
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
Sustainable forest biomass management is essential for ecological balance, rural economies, and climate change mitigation. Biomass residues—branches, thinnings, and wood waste—can enhance forest health and reduce fire hazards, promoting regeneration, and enabling renewable energy production...Read more

The role of methylparaben as an environmental contaminant in enhancing the pathogenicity of drinking water bacteria

(Corresponding) Pereira A., Gomes I., Simões M.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Parabens, commonly used as preservatives in personal care products, can affect drinking water (DW) environmental microbial communities, posing an emerging global concern for public health. This study examines the impact of MP at 15 µg/L on the virulence of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and...Read more

Exposome, Ultrafine Particles, and Glioblastoma: A New Perspective

(Corresponding) Gago-Ferrero P., Gutierrez-Martin D., Nika M., Vidal-Sarro N., Bruna J., Majós C., Pons A.
Topic: 
10. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common primary brain tumors in adults, but their causes remain largely unknown. Environmental exposures are suspected to play a role; however, the data is limited due to analytical challenges and the difficulty of obtaining brain samples for cohort studies. This...Read more
