We are dead. Ma'am Chupungco will kill me, roast me, and feed me to my groupmates, specially seasoned with 100% sili juice. I wish I were more up to detailed posts, but not only am I lazy and busy I am also discovering the problem of being verbose.
Muon + soccer = ultimate win. Pero kawawa ka pag kami ang kasama mo at maaksidente ka. Pagtatawanan ka muna namin bago ka namin dalhin sa clinic.

Induction of Apoptosis in Neoplastic Cells in Corals using Dihydrocapsaicin
Dihydrocapsaicin extracted from labuyo peppers will be injected into corals in order to induce apoptosis in corals afflicted with neoplasia. Neoplasia is a coral disease characterized by the uncontrolled division of undifferentiated epithelial cells, impeding coral reef growth and often causing coral death.
The Soxhlet extraction method was used to obtain capsaicinoids from chopped labuyo peppers (siling labuyo). The resulting extract will be subjected to high pressure liquid chromatorgraphy (HPLC) at the Ateneo de Manila Analytical Instrumentation Laboratory in order to isolate the dihydrocapsaicin. Corals infected with neoplasia will be obtained through the Marine Science Institute of the University of the Philippines Diliman Campus. The samples will be grouped into four, each group having equally varied degrees of infection. Different concentrations of dihydrocapsaicin will be administered to three of the groups, while the fourth group will serve as negative control. The t-test for two independent groups will be used to compare the rate of decline of coral health in treated and untreated coral groups to determine the effectivity of the dihydrocapsaicin treatments..
The project is still ongoing. Completion and success of the project will aid in the conservation of coral reefs, which serve as a habitat to many marine organisms and are considered to be the most biologically diverse of all marine ecosystems.
