  Abstract
  The goal of the study was to determine the influence of gamification on students` academic performance in language classes, specifically in Filipino subjects. This study utilized the purposive sampling technique. Twenty grade seven students were chosen as the sample of the study. Both the control and experimental groups were given a pre-test. The experimental group was exposed to gamification. Both groups were given the post-test and the result were subjected to statistical treatment. The findings revealed that gamification improved the experimental group`s academic performance when compared to the control group, implying that it plays a positive impact on the learners` academic success. The students are enthusiastic about the usage of gamification in the Filipino subject.

  Abstract
  In this study two species of marine algae Ulva lactuca and Enteromorpha intestinalis were treated with three different types of solvents such as chloroform, methanol and mixture of chloroform and methanol (1:2). The antibacterial activities were carried out by the agar well diffusion method. The extracts of U. lactuca and E. intestenalis showed a significant capacity of antibacterial activity against all the tested bacteria strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsilla pneumonia and E. coli). According to the results, the highest activities were seen in the extracts of U. lactuca and E. intestenalis against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa respectively. The chloroform extracts generally showed more potent antibacterial activity than methanol and chloroform and methanol mixture (1:2) extract.
