    Signification of Filipino culture in the film RPG Metanoia
    Asuncion, April Angeli B.; Zante, Sheena Angelique D.; Piñano, Von Janatius (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-04)
    This study identifies and describes the different significations of Filipino Culture in the 3D animated film RPG Metanoia. It is supported by Semiotics’ basic claim that media texts are made up of signs, which are composed of two elements: the signifier and the signified. The signifier is the physical representation of a sign that is being perceived by the senses, while the signified are the meanings that are being associated with the sign. The signifiers in this study are the different physical representations of the different Components of Culture according to Panopio et al. (1978), namely, Norms, Ideas and Material Culture. Data were gathered through observation and were further analyzed using content analysis. An interview with the creators of the film was also conducted. Results show that the different significations of Filipino Culture in the film are Norms like Barkada System and Kwentuhan, Ideas which include the value of Pagkamasayahin and Belief in the Supernatural, and Material Culture which is signified by Filipino Clothing.

    Almedita, Florange R.; Chavez, Nahrielyn D.; Sotes, Mariel Yvonne L. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-10)
    This study is about the Level of Influence of East Asian Countries in the Ilonggo Culture. The researchers identified the different East Asian television shows aired in the two giant networks - ABS-CBN and GMA since January- July 2009 and determined the influence of these East Asian television shows in the Ilonggo culture in terms of attitude, lifestyle and music. Furthermore, the researchers also identified the role of television in shaping the culture of the people. The researchers did a survey on the residents of randomly selected barangays of Molo and Villa districts to determine the level of influence of these East Asian television shows on their culture. The results showed that majority of the respondents have a positive attitude and practice in terms of lifestyle specifically clothing and accessories and music towards East Asian television shows. Thus, East Asian television shows have an influence in the Ilonggo culture.
