Veronica D.; Sinda, Krisha Kamille M. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)This thesis is a critical analysis of the factors that makes K-Pop music popular. The researchers wanted to objectively look at the music genre since there are only few studies of K-Pop despite its growing global attention in the entertainment industry.The study first traced the emergence of K-Pop, followed by the discussion of its packaging and promotion strategies as well as its implications on Philippine local music industry. The study used Commodification of Culture by Hannah Arendt and Theodore Adorno (1973) and the assumptions of Transnational Media Management Theory by Barbara Parker (1996). The proponents interviewed experts: 3 from the academe, 2 from the media organizations, 2 from the music industry and 2 representatives from K-Pop fan groups and with the Director of Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines. The proponents also did library and online research. The study found out that K-Pop started mainly from K-Dramas and that a combination of well-produced music and music videos, packaging and promotion strategies of Korean entertainment companies, both government and private sector efforts as well as the good adaptation to advance technologies have made K-Pop a global success.Item The classification and regulation of AM Radio programsBalagosa, Sheena Marie K. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)The study "The Classification and Regulation of AM Radio Programs" provides us the reasons why there is a need to classify and reinforce regulation on AM radio programs based on the MTRCB guidelines, the KBP Code, and the opinion of Ilonggo radio listeners and broadcast practitioners. The study covered 12 barangays with 400 respondents and eight broadcast practitioners from four AM radio stations in Iloilo City. From the results of the study, we have found out that radio stations created program innovations that affected the listeners. There is a need to put classification in order to separate sensitive topics that are not suitable for all listeners, to protect children by knowing which programs they can listen to, to avoid hearing double meaning words, extremely violent stories and sensitive topics about sex. There is a need to reinforce regulation because of the failure to adhere to broadcast standards of some radio programs, KBP's leniency in the implementation of its rules and regulation and the effectiveness of self-regulation. Thus, we have the determined that there is a need to put classification and to reinforce regulation in AM radio programs to protect the moral values of Filipino radio listeners.
