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.

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.

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.

Urbanization is a large-scale population shift from rural to urban areas and the ensuing physical changes to urban areas. The condition of land use and land cover of an area reflects the socioeconomic and natural resources present, as well as how they are utilized over time and space. A significant effect is the extent and types of land use and land cover disturbances such as the conversion of grasslands to urban areas, wetlands to agriculture, orchards from cropland and agricultural land, and forestland being replaced with residential land use. Davao City is currently rapidly urbanizing, and several changes to the watershed’s land cover are possible. This study was carried out to analyze the degree of urban expansion based on the land cover change in the Talomo-Lipadas Watershed from 2010, 2015, and 2020 using the Geographic Information System. The results show that the spatiotemporal change of the Talomo-Lipadas land cover from the years 2010, 2015, and 2020 is noticeable based on each land cover area and percent change in where urban land from 7.29% to 10.91% or 28.53 km2 to 43 km2, forest from 12.1% to 17.76% or 47.36 km2 to 70 km2, barren land from 0-0.25% or 0 to 1 km2, and water from 0.35% % to 0.76% or 1.39 km2 to 3 km2 exhibit an increase in terms of area and percent change while cropland from 76.48% to 67.28% or 299.15 km2 to 269 km2 and grassland from 3.33% to 2.03% or 13.03 km2 to 8 km2 show a decrease. In a five-year interval, this watershed continuously experiences changes, particularly in urban land or built-up areas brought by the construction of roads, towns, houses, and other built-up areas. This study examines urban expansion in the Talomo–Lipadas Watershed in Davao City from 2010 to 2020 using Geographic Information Systems, showing steady growth in urban and forest areas alongside declines in cropland and grassland. The findings highlight how rapid urbanization, driven by infrastructure and development, continues to reshape land cover over time.
