高等教育委员会（CHED）Region V 正在开发一个以生态和美食开头的 Bicol 研究课程。根据技术工作组成员的说法，降雨和火山土壤等环境因素塑造了比科尔人的身份，特别是 pili 坚果的繁荣。这种方法旨在加深对该地区历史和文化的理解。
在一次虚拟会议中，CHED Region V 的技术工作组同意从生态入手启动 Bicol 研究课程，以探讨环境如何影响身份认同。加州大学洛杉矶分校人类学教授、Ifugao 和 Bicol 考古项目主任 Stephen B. Acabado 解释说，比科尔地区位于台风带，降雨量高、气温温暖，拥有来自 Mayon、Isarog、Asog 和 Bulusan 等山脉的排水良好的火山土壤。这些条件使 pili 树（Canarium ovatum）得以茁壮成长，成为当地经济和 pasalubong 礼品的核心。
In an opinion piece published on Rappler, anthropologist Stephen B. Acabado argues that the Philippines' rich cultural landscapes and ecological diversity should be made accessible to youth to connect history, culture, and daily life. He emphasizes the need for deeper interpretation at heritage sites, beyond mere photo opportunities to foster genuine understanding. He compares this to the U.S. national park system, which prioritizes educational experiences.
