This study attempted to analyze the univariate time series of Oil and Energy
Consumption Volatility. The study's primary goal is to examine the consumption
trend and degree of volatility from 1970 to 2021 in the Philippines. Therefore, the
purpose of this study was to present the trend of consumption volatility changes of
oil and energy, to assess the consumption volatility of oil and energy, to determine
the peak and low of consumption in time series, and to determine the relationship
between the oil consumption and energy consumption. The study employed a time
series of secondary data obtained from the online database of ‘Our World in Data’
on a yearly basis from 1960 to 2021. Furthermore, the data were statistically treated
by employing the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model to capture the dynamic
relationship and the volatility of oil and energy consumption. With this, the impulse
response function (IRF) suggests that energy consumption is subject to some
degree of volatility when there is an oil consumption shock and the variance
decomposition suggests that oil consumption has a significant impact on the
volatility of energy consumption in the Philippines, with oil shocks being the primary
source of this volatility. Energy consumption also has a significant impact on its
own volatility but to a lesser extent than oil consumption.

Government borrowing has emerged as one significant method that
helps in mobilization of resources for economic growth especially in
emerging economics. Most governments in developing economies resort to
borrowing as a way of financing budget deficit. This paper identifies the
effects of government borrowing to investment growth in the Philippines.
Specifically, it presented the trend of gross domestic product, internal debt,
and external debt from 1990-2020. The study used Johansen Co-integration,
Granger Causality, and Vector Autoregression (VAR) models to analyze this
study. Johansen’s Co-integration analysis revealed that the gross domestic
product (GDP), internal debt (ID), and external debt (ED) are rejected at a
5% significant level and showing that all relevant variables have a long-term
relationship and the data are co-integrated. On the other hand, unrestricted
VAR model, there exist a relationship between gross domestic product
(GDP), internal debt (ID), and external debt (ED). The Granger Causality test
result revealed the direction of the causal relationship between independent
and dependent variables; gross domestic product, internal debt, and external
debt at the 5% significant level.

Cacao farmers’ disengagement has gained recognition for addressing their
social, financial, and environmental difficulties while pursuing financial stability.
This qualitative study sought to unwrap the reasons behind the farmers’
disengagement. It aimed to know the factors that caused this phenomenon, the
ineffective methods to resolve these problems, the importance of seminars in
disseminating information, and recognize the farmers’ gripes towards cacao
farming. This study utilized a purposive sampling method to gather nine farmers
from Calinan of District III in Davao City. A semi-structured interview format was
used to collect data, which was analyzed through a thematic approach.
Moreover, the factors contributing to farmers’ disengagement were the laborious
process of cacao farming, low yield and challenging marketing strategies, and
dealing with cacao diseases and infestations. The ineffective methods applied as
interventions to these factors were eliminating and disposing of sick pods, as well
as pruning, wrapping, and spraying. The importance of government-initiated
technical assistance in disseminating information was also discussed. The
farmers’ gripes toward cacao farming were its expensiveness and laborious
aspect, low-income and low-yield return, limited access to government technical
assistance, unpredictable weather, and lack of labor force. This study provided
valuable insights to the Department of Agriculture, cacao farmers and aspiring
farmers, the finance sector, and local investors and stakeholders. This study
addressed these challenges, which provided a foundation for future research and
policy initiatives to promote sustainable cacao farming in the Philippines.
