was commonly played by
lass, seeds as nail polish; stems, leaves, seeds as
ingredients in their little
cooking session. This has caused a stain / tint on their
dresses. With this
observable phenomena, researcher have come-up
with this study,ALUGBATI SEEDS JUICE as INK.
Experimentation with simple mixing of juice with
other substances, and so with
the various process based on the ink making in the ink

industry. After which

testing, treatments, and comparison and contrasting
should be done. Though
research probably now the seed has discovered its
potential as ink and a good
product of a community.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
The research study is focusing in the production of ink
out of the alugbati seeds juice. And its great feature
as an ink.
Especially this study aims to answer the following
questions:
Can this juice be a good source for in production?
Can this ink be able to last long?
What substances can we found on its juice that
made it dark in color?
HYPOTHESIS:
a. It is good source for ink production.

b. It become more different and intense when mixed

with other substances.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION:
The research study is focusing in the production of ink
out of the alugbati seeds juice. And its great feature
as an ink. And the plant to be used is the one, which
is cultivated here in Philippines.
SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY:
Relating to our drama in modern worlds. We had
observed that crisis, financially
was on the top rank on the numbers of listed problems
here in our country.
Through this research, there would be a good source
of income for farmers
livelihood and cooperative producers and members
plating more alugbati for
more source of ink on the areas in this nation can

lessen the dangerous carbons,

which ruins the ozone layer. Sipping running waters
from higher surface could
prevent killer floods and sense depressing landslide.
Through researchers
hardships, from a simple shrubbery plants alugbati
would then appreciated into a
mighty hero plant.
