RATIONALE
River is the lifeblood of the Earth and of the human
civilization. It acts as a drainage channel of surface waters, and
carries water and nutrients through great distances. River also
serves as a habitat and provides food to many organisms.
In the Philippines, there are 18 major river basins and 421
principal rivers. As of 2017, (337) of the total number of classified
principal and small rivers are under Class C. Class C means that
the water is intended for fishery where propagation and growth
of fish and other aquatic resources is feasible (DENR, 2019).

5.
RATIONALE
• In Samar, there are five (5) major rivers namely: Jibatang,
Gandara, Cadacan, Silaga, and Basey Rivers. Gandara River is the
longest in the province with a length of 11.85 kilometers. It
drains to Samar Sea passing through Matuguinao, San Jose de
Buan, San Jorge, Gandara, and Pagsanghan. (Samar Provincial
PIA, 2000).
• More than two decades ago, Gandara river had been people’s
clean source of water for household use like bathing, washing
dishes and clothes, watering plants, etc. It also served as
children’s favorite place during leisure time due to its clear and
clean water. Fresh water fish and shells abound in the river.

6.
RATIONALE
• However, due to threats from agricultural, domestic,
industrial, negligence and mistreatment of the people to
Gandara River, it turned polluted and unsanitary. Presently,
Gandara River becomes shallow due to indiscriminate
disposal of garbage to the river. The water becomes stinky
brought about by unconcerned throwing of household
wastes into it, further aggravated by pig pens and toilets
constructed along river banks. Rice mills are located near
river banks for easy dumping of rice hulls. There are parts
of the river banks that are gradually eroding caused by
heavy rains and floods.

7.
RATIONALE
• Hence, Gandara river nowadays is in dire need for intervention
program to restore the beauty of the river; eventually, improve the
quality of community life of the barangay folks living along the
Gandara- San Jorge river banks.
• If the six (6) extension projects would be sustainably implemented,
the river is potential for eco-tourism (Gandara River Cruise) similar
to that of the floating cottage of Loboc River in Bohol. In turn, the
proposed tourism activity will create jobs that will serve as the
source of livelihood of the community folks. Consequently, the
river will be magnificent again and people becoming self-
sufficient and self- sustaining.

8.
OBJECTIVE
Generally, the Extension Program aims to
restore the productive life of Gandara-
San Jorge River and to improve the
quality of life of the community folks
living along Gandara River Bank through
sustainable eco-tourism activity.

PROGRAM COMPONENTS

11.
ABSTRACT
• The abstract is a one-paragraph summary of the entire
study – typically no more than 300 words in length.
• It describes the essence, the main theme of the paper. It
includes the research question posed, its significance,
the methodology, and the main results or findings.

12.
INTRODUCTION
• What is the topic and why is it worth studying?- The
introduction commonly describes the topic under
investigation, provides an overview of the research.
• A good introduction states the main research problem
and thesis argument. What precisely are you studying and
why is it important?

13.
A GOOD INTRODUCTION GENERALLY
CONSISTS OF THREE DISTINCT PARTS:
1. You should first give a general presentation of the
research problem.
2. You should then lay out exactly what you are trying
to achieve with this particular research project.
3. You should then state your own position.

14.
LITERATURE REVIEW
• This research process uncovers what other writers have
written about your topic. Your paper should include a
discussion or review of what is known about the
subject and how that knowledge was acquired.
• Make sure to include the name of the relevant authors
you’ve studied and add a properly formatted citation
that explicitly points to their works you have analyzed,
including the publication year.

15.
METHODOLOGY
• What did you do? – a section which details how the
research was performed. It typically features a
description of the participants/subjects that were
involved, the study design, the materials that were used,
and the study procedure.

16.
RESULTS
• For quantitative research, it is a presentation of the
numerical results and data, whereas for qualitative
research it should be a broader discussion of trends,
without going into too much detail.
• A commentary is essential to linking the results together,
rather than just displaying isolated and unconnected
charts and figures.

17.
RESULTS
• What did you find? – a section which describes the data
that was collected and the results of any statistical tests
that were performed.

18.
DISCUSSION
• This is where you elaborate on your findings, and explain
what you found, adding your own personal
interpretations.
• It’s important to make sure that every piece of
information in your discussion is directly related to the
thesis statement, or you risk cluttering your findings.

19.
DISCUSSION
• What is the significance of your results? The Discussion
commonly features a summary of the results that were
obtained in the study, describes how those results
address the topic under investigation and/or the issues
that the research was designed to address, and may
expand upon the implications of those findings.

20.
CONCLUSION
• After spending a great deal of time and energy
introducing and arguing the points in the main body of
the paper, the conclusion brings everything together and
underscores what it all means. A stimulating and
informative conclusion leaves the reader informed and
well-satisfied.

21.
REFERENCE
• The very last section of your research paper is a reference
page where you should collect the academic sources along
with all the publications you consulted, while fleshing out
your research project. You should make sure to list all these
references according to the citation format specified by your
instructor.

22.
REFERENCE
• List of articles and any books cited – an alphabetized list
of the sources that are cited in the paper (by last name
of the first author of each source). Each reference
should follow specific APA guidelines regarding author
names, dates, article titles, journal titles, journal volume
numbers, page numbers, book publishers, publisher
locations, websites, and so on.

23.
APPENDIX
• Supplementary information (optional) – in some cases,
additional information that is not critical to understanding
the research paper, such as a list of experiment stimuli,
details of a secondary analysis, or programming code, is
provided. This is often placed in an Appendix.

24.
APPENDIX
• Such material might include tables, charts, summaries,
questionnaires, interview questions, lengthy statistics,
maps, pictures, photographs, lists of terms, glossaries,
survey instruments, letters, copies of historical documents,
and many other types of supplementary material. A paper
may have several appendices.
