Abstract
This study focused on knowing the current strategic measures used by the local food establishments in Taal Batangas concerning their preparation and sustainability of tawilis dishes. 100 respondents were selected using convenience sampling technique. The study employed a descriptive research design. The Likert scale and mean were used to measure the agreement and frequency of the response based on the statement indicated in the questionnaire.
The findings of the study revealed a significant level of strategic implementation by local food establishments in Taal, Batangas concerning tawilis dish preparation and sustainability. However, using different preservation methods is not their main focus. The study also identified several challenges in implementing sustainable practices concerning the use of tawilis. As a recommendation, the study suggested that local food establishments in Taal Batangas, prioritize staff education and knowledge building around sustainable practices concerning tawilis, consider partnering with government agencies, and promote their sustainable practices to their customers.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
