Calaor, Gazelh Mae T. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-04)
Mangroves play both an important ecological and economic role. They are valuable to humans and are important component of the natural system. For the past few decades, mangrove forest has been experiencing severe degradation. People often fail to consider the important in the entire ecosystem. Generally, this study aimed to analyzed stand basal areas of mangroves in Antique. The study of basal areas of mangroves can provide an indicating the health condition and overall stands of mangroves in a given area. However few studies have been conducted about this area. Thus, the need for present study to provide an overview of mangrove development in Antique. Information gathered will be useful in the formulation of mangrove measures for the preservation of the remaining mangrove stands in Antique. Specifically, it aimed 1.) to identify the species present in Antique. 2.) to determine the basal areas 3.) to determine the stand basal areas of mangroves. Transect line plot method was used for the study. All sampled sites have been visibly been subjected to human disturbances of varying magnitude. There were 31 true mangroves species identified in the 11 municipalities studied belonging to 14 families. Abundant mangrove forest is in Semirara Island. Caluya with 28 species belonging to 13 families. The family of Rhizophoraceae was the most represented with 7 species identified. Lumnitzera racemosa and Nypa fruticans were found in all municipalities, whereas the least occurring were the Camptostemon philippinensis and Aegiceras floridum found only in Semirara Island. Caluya. Average stand basal area of Antique was 39.49 m2/ha. It ranges from 4.54 m2/ha for the municipality of Bugasong to 214.27 m2ha for the municipality of Semirara Island. Caluya. Average stand basal area per species of Antique Province were ranges from Sonneratia alba at 8.69 m7ha as the highest and the lowest at 0.0036 m2/ha exhibited by Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea. The relatively isolated state of is a good factor in development and establishment of a good mangrove cover. In comparison with other sites in Antique, the stand basal area in Semirara Island, Caluya is much higher reflective of a better and healthier stand.
Level of political cynicism and political efficacy among the faculty members of Leonora S. Salapantan National High School
Calanza, Jean T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)
The perception of an individual, its level of participation, reaction or response to society specifically to the political system basically has an adverse effect on government or the political system itself. The extent or level of political participation one displays depends on the political stimuli he receives. And this level of participation also affects his attitude or behavior towards politically-significant objects. This research focused on the attitude of individuals towards the political system as affected by their knowledge in its programs and policies being implemented.
This study used a descriptive and relational research design. This study utilized a questionnaire prepared by the researcher. The respondents were faculty members of Leonora S. Salapantan National High School of San Miguel, Iloilo. The hypotheses of this study were as follows : 1.) There is a significant relationship between sex, religion, years in service, educational attainment, residence, area of specialization and rank and level of political cynicism of faculty members of Leonora S. Salapantan National High School in San Miguel, Iloilo; 2.) There is a significant relationship between sex, religion, and years in service, educational attainment, and residence, area of specialization and rank and level of political efficacy of faculty members of Leonora S. Salapantan National High School in San Miguel, Iloilo, and; 3.) There is a significant relationship between the level of political cynicism and political efficacy of the respondents.
As validity test, pre-test was conducted to 6 respondents not included in this study. Face validation was also done by someone knowledgeable in political participations, political cynicism and politician efficacy.
The result of the study shows that the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents have no relationship to their level of political cynicism and level of efficacy of the respondents towards the Local Government Unit of San Miguel, Iloilo in its compliance with the Local Government Code. Based on the results, the hypotheses were therefore rejected. Moreover, it was found out that although the respondents possesses moderate to high level of political cynicism, they remain efficacious.
This means that the perception and attitude of an individual towards the political system does not affect his level of political participation. This may be due to the fact that people were vigilant enough to know if what is happening in the political arena for this event or issue might affect him, may it be directly or indirectly.
CHAR!: The language of contemporary Adam: Acceptability of gay lingo among senior male students in a male-dominated University
Calantas, Ma. Emmalyn T.; Gasangarin, Jed Moirah G.; Ilinon, Wendel C. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
This study entitled “Char!”: The Language of Contemporary Adam, The Acceptability of Gay Lingo Among Senior Male Students in a Male Dominated University presents how the gay community is slowly being accepted in the society one step at a time.
Chapter 1 presents the history of gays as they battle for societal discrimination and the current situation of the LGBT community in the country. Also, it discusses the aim of the study with the following objectives to seek for the critical areas on the behaviour of males towards gay language and to know how these males interpret the gay lingo and use it on a daily basis.
The Review of Related Literature of the study involves the paradigm of sexuality in the Philippines which discusses the issue of gender roles and how people perceive homosexuals and homosexual relationships in the country. This chapter is also about the development of gay language which diverted from mockery and humiliation to it being openly used not only by homosexuals but also by straight men.
Chapter 3 presents the subjects of the study who are the senior male students of JBLFMU, the research method used which is survey-based, the research design and data gathering procedures, research instruments, data analysis and the statistical tools used. The researchers measured the respondents’ exposure, knowledge, attitude, usage and practice of the language to determine their acceptability of gay lingo.
Chapter 4 involves the results and discussions of the study. This chapter reveals that the respondents are highly exposed to the language. They also have a high level of knowledge, and positive attitude towards gay lingo. However, their usage and practice got the lowest percentage on the study.
The final chapter includes the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the study which states that the gay lingo in a male-dominated university is accepted. The acceptance of gay culture and their language in a male-dominated community implies that men are consequently embracing the change that is happening in society nowadays. They are becoming more open about learning the culture of the once called minority group—the gay community.
An analysis of gender mainstreaming efforts in public and private HEIs in Iloilo City
Calaguing, Vanessa J. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)
In recent years, gender mainstreaming has become a crucial focus of Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs) aiming to comply with government mandates in promoting gender equality and development. While there have been studies that looked separately into gender mainstreaming efforts of public and private HEIs in the Philippines, there has yet to be a study analyzing the extent that gender mainstreaming efforts are pursued. This study used a descriptive research design, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to address three research questions: (1) How did the composition, tenure, capacities, responsibilities, and experiences of Gender Focal Point System (GFPS) members influence gender mainstreaming efforts in the public and private HEIs under study in the past five years? (2) To what extent are gender concepts integrated into the curricula of the public and private HEIs? (3) What is the level of gender sensitivity among faculty and staff in relation to the existing gender mainstreaming efforts in their respective universities in the past five years? A self-made questionnaire was used for Key Informant Interviews (KII) and surveys. K1I results showed compliance with GFPS structure in the public HEI, while the private HEI had yet to establish their GFPS. Quantitative data identified deficiencies in curriculum integration and gender sensitivity among faculty and staff in the public HEI, highlighting a disconnect with KII claims. Existing challenges contributing to this disconnect were identified, and recommendations were provided to enhance gender mainstreaming. Despite the absence of a structured GFPS, the private HEI achieved relatively high scores in curriculum integration and gender sensitivity, indicating that their institutional efforts are impactful. This study offers valuable insights into mainstreaming gender and development in higher education, including progress, challenges, and potential areas for improvement.
