    Sexual politics in selected Cuyunon folk songs
    Cabrestante, Ma. Anthea A. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-12)
    The purpose of this study is to examine the sexual political condition of Cuyunon women as portrayed in the folk songs of Cuyo, Palawan. As one of the studies that examine Philippine folk literature using a feminist lens, this study seeks to uncover how deeply ingrained the patriarchal norms and values are in the Cuyunon and Palaweño society through a sexual political analysis of the Cuyunon folk songs. The analysis of the texts has two parts: the first part analyzes the binary oppositions of gender roles present in the songs, and the second part analyzes the sexual politics in the songs. After the analysis of the songs, it is found out that most of the songs portray traditional gender roles for men and women, and that the perpetuation of gender roles and stereotypes play a big role in the oppression of women. This study has concluded that according to the Cuyunon folk songs. Cuyunon women are only temporarily empowered during the courtship phase, but they still occupy an inferior position in the sexual politics of their society. Furthermore, this study has also concluded that aside from reflecting the patriarchal culture of the Cuyunon society, the Cuyunon folk songs are tools for the propagation and normalization of patriarchal culture as they are sang and heard again and again.

    Gahom sa binalaybay: Mayamor's poetry as vehicle of power in the resistance movement of Panay
    Arceño, Angeliza T. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-12)
    This study analyzes Mayamor’s poetry as a vehicle of power in the resistance movement of Panay. Using New Historicism and textual analysis, this study identifies the cultural status quo in Mayamor’s poetry as Feudal and describes its manifestations and his mechanisms to counter it by waging a National Democratic revolution through a protracted people’s war and cultural revolution. Mayamor’s poems serve as a vehicle of power in the resistance movement of Panay by using poetry as a tool to teach people about the situation in the countryside of Central Panay, for exposing the cruelty of the state and the ruling class, by being a testimony to the plight of the people, and by inviting them to be allies and join the struggle in the countryside.
