Exploring the world of social media-addicted youth: family relationship in focus Bondesto, Joshua O.; Villamor, Bay-ar C.; Aperocho, Maico Demi B. During trying times, students addicted to social media experience a variety of struggles, most especially in terms of their family relationships. Through a phenomenological study, the researchers investigated the experiences, challenges, and coping strategies of seven purposively selected individuals addicted to social media from Davao City, Philippines. Using interviews as the data collection method, the researchers gathered information regarding the participants’ experiences, specifically about how social media resulted in poor family relationships and how it makes communication easy. The researchers also discovered that the social media–addicted youth encountered several challenges, such as becoming irresponsible at home, experiencing conflicts and emotional outbursts, and experiencing emotional and mental tolls due to conflicts. Moreover, it was unraveled that the participants’ coping strategies include managing time, returning to reality, and imposing self-discipline. This article can help families from the region to be oriented on common problems related to social media addiction and the various strategies that could be used to address relevant issues. The study examined the lived experiences of social media–addicted students in Davao City, focusing on how excessive online engagement affects family relationships and personal well-being. Results showed that addiction often caused conflicts, emotional struggles, and neglect of responsibilities, while participants coped through self-discipline, better time management, and prioritizing real-world relationships.

New species of the genus Lamprobityle heller, 1923 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from Mindanao island, Philippines Barševskis, Arvīds; Torrejos, Chrestin Lamprobityle bagobutabagawa sp. nov, a new species of the genus Lamprobityle Heller, 1923 from Philippines, Mindanao Island is described and illustrated. The new species is named after the Bagobo Tabagawa, one of the local tribes living on the island of Mindanao. There are currently 15 known species of this genus, all of which are endemic to the Philippines. This paper describes Lamprobityle Bagobo Tabagawa sp. nov., a newly identified beetle species from Mindanao, Philippines, named after the Bagobo Tabagawa tribe, adding to the 15 known endemic species of the genus Lamprobityle in the country.

To the knowledge of long-horned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the oriental region. part 5 Barševskis, Arvīds; Torrejos, Chrestine In this paper, we outline new faunistic data about 51 little-known species that make up the longhorn fauna of the oriental region. In particular, 15 species belonging to the sub­family Cerambycinae and 36 species belonging to the subfamily Lamiinae are treated in this paper. A total of 3 species were recorded for the first time since its description, which includes Elongatopothyne basirufipennis Breuning, 1963; Anoplophora iadina Wang, He, Huang, 2023; and Pseudochoeromorpha yamasakoi Vives & Trocolli, 2024. Additionally, new distribution records of 9 species were added to the local fauna of the different areas. New country distributions were recorded for Gnatholea stigmatipennis (White,1855) in Vietnam; Mimohammus flavescens Aurivillius, 1911 in Indonesia; and Cacia herbacea (Pascoe, 1866) in Indonesia. While new local distributions were recorded for (Indonesia) Scalenus hemipterus (Olivier, 1800) in Borneo Island, West Kalimantan; Hyphus apicalis Pascoe, 1869 in Sumatra Island; Xystrocera festiva Thomson, 1861 Borneo Island, West Kalimantan and Sulawesi Island; Cacia semiluctuosa Blanchard, 1853 in Kelang Island; (Vietnam) Scalenus pseudosericeus Jiroux, Haller, & Bentanachs, 2019 in Nghe An and Yenbai Province; and (Philippines) Schmidtiana gertrudis Huedepohl, 1983 in Surigao del Sur, Mindanao Island. This paper presents new faunistic data on 51 little-known longhorn beetle species in the Oriental region, including first-time records and updates on species distributions. It documents newly recorded occurrences across countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, expanding knowledge of their geographic range.

Analysis of Students’ Climate Change Learning Using the Affective Domain of Learning Diquito, Tomas A.; Acuña, Alliesa R.; Garcia, Jolai R.; Laganson, John Brian C The fully everted endophallus in the genus Tricondyla is studied and described for the first time. Also, the following new synonymies are established: Pseudotricondyla Naviaux, 2002 syn. nov. = Stenotricondyla Naviaux, 2002; T. (T.) aptera punctipennis Chevrolat, 1841 syn. nov. = T. (T.) aptera aptera (Olivier,1790); T. (T.) aptera lumawigi Wiesner, 1989 syn. nov. = T. (T.) ovicollis Motschulsky, 1864; T. (S.) cavifrons Schaum, 1862 syn. nov. = T. (S.) cyanipes Eschscholtz, 1829; T. (S.) gracilis Naviaux, 2002 syn. nov. = T. (S.) elongata Horn, 1906; T. (T.) huloti Naviaux, 2009 syn. nov. = T. (S.) cyanipes fuscilabris Mandl, 1964 = T. (S.) conicicollis Chaudoir, 1844. Tricondyla (S.) oblita Naviaux, 2002, syn. nov. = Tricondyla brunnipes Motschulsky, 1861. New subgeneric placement is proposed: T. (S.) elongata Horn, 1906; T. (S.) planiceps Schaum, 1862; T. (S.) gracilis Naviaux, 2002. One new species T. (T.) johnsoni sp. nov. is described from Mindanao. The taxonomic status of T. (S.) genieri Naviaux, 2008 is discussed. The species T. (S.) beccarii Gestro, 1874 is transferred from nominative subgenus to Stenotricondyla and together with T. (Stenotricondyla) doriai Gestro, 1874 excluded from the list of species of the Philippines. A key to the species is provided. Color photographs of the habitus, and diagnostic characters, including the variability of all species, are presented. This study by Tomas Jr A. Diquito and co-authors analyzes how senior high school students in Mindanao learn about Climate Change using the Affective Domain of Learning. Results show that students generally have a high level of awareness and positive attitudes toward climate change, especially in valuing its importance. However, they are less consistent in translating these values into personal actions and long-term behaviors. The study also finds strong relationships among different affective learning components, indicating that emotional engagement plays a key role in shaping students’ understanding and responses. It concludes that strengthening affective learning strategies in education can improve students’ commitment to climate action and environmental responsibility.
