INTRODUCTION
In our country, Filipino people use papaya as source of vitamin A, B and C and some use it as
skin whitening. Papaya is a tree like plant with single stem growing from 5 to 10 meters tall and it grows
commonly in tropical country like the Philippines. Papaya stem and bark is used as a raw material in the
production of rope and can be used as an option source of rope and can be used as an option source of
paper due to its strong fiber. Bulletin board is frame section commonly made from wood or plastics.
Bulletin board is very useful in schools, hospital, and other public places where information must be
posted for everyone to see. Because of the excessive number of trees that are being cut to produce a lot of
bulletin board. We are now experiencing+ global warming which in cite by deforestation. As a
consequence of the unreliable producers who are not unmindful about the adverse affect of too much
logging, our fellow countrymen in the rural areas anguished from the result of flashflood and landslide.
Since this alarming situation is now encountered, the researcher supervised an experiment made for
papaya trunk to generate the replacement source of bulletin board. Which is affordable, practical and
durable. If this research work used in the production of alternative bulletin board, the researcher assures
that all people in rural areas wouldn't suffer from adverse effects of flashfloods and landslide, if everyone
shows their concern and care to the environment. Cutting down papaya trunk would not affect farmers
This study aimed to produce bulletin board made from papaya trunk that can be compared to

This research study is all about the potency of papaya trunk (Carica papaya) as bulletin board.
The independent variable used is the papaya trunk (Carica papaya) while the control variable is the
commercial bulletin board. In order to make a bulletin board made out of papaya trunk (Carica papaya) it
must undergone different processes such as pealing, boiling, blending, sun drying and cutting papaya
trunk in order to produce a quality product of bulletin board made out of papaya trunk (Carica papaya).
Papaya trunk
The edible seed of the papaya has a sharp, spicy taste and is sometimes dried and ground for use
as substitute for black pepper. In some parts of Asia, the young leaves of papaya are cooked as vegetable
in combination with meat and coconut milk or steamed like spinach. In other part of the world, papaya
leaves are made into tea as preventative to malaria, though there is no real scientific evidence for the
effectiveness of this treatment. The stem and bark of papaya tree can be processed as material in rope
production. Thus its versatility in performing roles as raw food, as a major ingredient in cooked dishes, as
source of medicines and therapeutic drugs, and as a raw material for various other uses, in my book,
makes the papaya truly deserving of its title as fruit of the angels.
Sodium hydroxide
Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye or caustic soda, has molecular formula A NaOH and is
highly caustic metallic base. It is a white solid available in pellets, flakes, granules, and as a 50%
saturated solution Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water, ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent
and readily absorbs moisture ad carbon dioxide in air. Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries,
mostly as a strong chemical base in a manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking, water, soaps and
5
detergents and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tons,
while demand was 51 million 16ones. Although molten sodium hydroxide possesses properties similar to
those of the other forms, it high temperature comparatively limits its applications.
Bulletin board
A bulletin is a surface intended for the posting of public messages, for examples, to advertise
items wanted or for sale, announce events, or provide information. Bulletin board are often made of a
material such as cork to facilitate addition and removal of messages, or they can be placed on computer
networks so people can leave and erase messages for other people to read and see Bulletin boards are
particularly prevalent universities. They are used by many sports groups and extracurricular groups and
anything from local shops to official notices. Dormitory corridors, well - trafficked hallways, lobbies and
freestanding kiosks often have cork boards attached to facilitate the posting of notices. At some
universities, lamppost, bollards, trees and walls often become impromptu posting sites in areas where
Flour
is a powder which is made by grinding cereal grains, beans, or other seeds or roots (like cassava).
It is the main ingredient of bread, which is a staple food for many cultures, making the availability of
adequate supplies of flour a major economic and political issue at various times throughout
history. Wheat flour is one of the most important ingredients in European, North American, Middle
Eastern, Indian and North African cultures, and is the defining ingredient in most of their styles
While wheat is the most common base for flour, maize flour has been important
in Mesoamerican cuisine since ancient times, and remains a staple throughout the Americas. Rye flour is
an important constituent of bread in much of central Europe, and rice can also be used in flour, though

Bulletin Board
There are many different definitions for a bulletin board, however for this research paper it is
going to be specifically about the uses of the bulletin board for personal use. Bulletin boards are used for
many different types of reasons, this is because it is a way to communicate and transfer messages to
people. They are used all over the world and in England they are very popular, however they do not share
the same name, they are either called a pin board or notice board or display board
Throughout everyone’s life, a bulletin board, whether it is big or small, will have an impact of
them .This could be because the use of the board is pictures of friends and family, or it could be notes for
end of year test! Also ,another use is to share information with communities and colleges , telling them if
they got into a team /club /president of that certain club ECT… ‘ To make information available to a
community or a group or to create interest in events ,ideas or products.” (SIL International :Partners in
Language Development ). This site , gave me an insight to all the different ways of making and using it
Nevertheless, the benefit of displaying a bulletin board can be very unique .This is because with
all the technology that we are using (for example ,prezi or photoshop,power point ETC.. ) we can create a
design or decorate it the way you want it to be. According to SIL International,” To display artwork and
other paper item of interest”(SIL International:Partners in Laguage Development ),it is indeed a very
successful way to involve the audience of the presentation or just to hang up on your wall as a presentable
decoration. They also quote the different types of styles, “ Chalkboards, Pin boards and magnetic boards.”
(SIL International: Partners in Language Development). Which have evolved to the more popular bulletin

computer industry. It is the “ centre for the electronic storage of messages , usually accessed over the
telephone network.” This shows the diversity of the usefulness of a bulletin board. It has an abbreviated
word for the computer side, “ BBSs ( Bulletin board systems )” (The Hutchinson Encyclopedia).
