Final Output (for science major) (30%)

Jose Rizal was a renowned scientist. Three species were named after the national
hero in recognition of his scientific discovery. These species are (1) Draco rizali, a small
lizard popularly known as a flying dragon; (2) Apogania rizali, a rare kind of beetle; and
the (3) Rhacophorus rizali, a peculiar frog species.
For your final examination, gather the local names of sitios in your municipality,
or chosen area. A minimum of twenty-five [25] place names/sitios is required. Then,
determine which of these place names are flora and fauna. After this, try to identify these
flora and fauna by tracing their English and scientific names. Better if you can provide
pictures of these. Determine also whether these are extinct, or not. You may utilize the
dictionaries written in during the 16th up to the 19th centuries. I can provide the e-copies
of these.There should be no duplication of area to work on. Meaning, if there are two, or
more students who are working on one town, they should divide the area so that there is
no overlapping, or duplication. Each place name should contain the following
information: Local name, English name, scientific name, etc.

Place name/Sitio Geographical English name Extinct? Picture (if

after flora/Fauna coordinate /Scientific name (Yes/No) available)
[place the name of
barangay here]
[place the name of

more students who are working on one town, they should divide the area so that there is
no overlapping, or duplication. Each place name should contain the following
