Abstract
Medicinal plants have bioactive components which are used for curing various human diseases. They also play an essential role in healing. Fresh fruits and leaves of collected plant samples were used following standard solvent extraction protocol and qualitative analysis to detect secondary plant metabolites. The ethanolic extracts of eight indigenous medicinal plants of Quirino Province, Cagayan Valley, Philippines, were subjected to phytochemical analysis. Results confirmed alkaloids, saponins, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids in specific extracts. The inferences of the findings are discussed in light of the role of indigenous plants in the traditional medicinal system.
