    Panghunahuna sa kaugalingon: Traits, strivings, happiness and religious orientation in the lens of the five-factor model
    Cajilig, Veni Grace S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)
    The influence of personality traits, strivings, happiness, and religious orientation on self-concept were studied on 101 women who live within Iloilo city and who subscribe to a folk healer, specifically to a manughilot. Levene’s test indicated that the sample was homogeneous. Respondents were made to answer a battery of tests, namely International Personality Item Pool - NEO - 120, Religious Orientation Scale, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Self-concept Clarity Scale, and Personal Striving Checklist. Cronbach alpha was measured for the reliability. Moreover, validity of the scales were measured using Pearson product-moment correlation for both convergent and divergent. An interview was also conducted among five respondents wherein the qualification was based on the number of consultation visits with the manughilot, the highest and lowest were chosen. Using the Multiple Analysis of Variance, the four aforementioned variables did not significantly differentiate self-concept. The results of this study run contrary to the hypotheses and framework.

    Myths and rituals among the Babaylan of Tubungan, Iloilo
    Cadiz, Fel T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-03)
    This paper is an exploratory study on myths, an important, genre in folk literature, and their relation to binabaylan in Tubungan, Iloilo. Specifically it aims to identify and discuss myths found in the locale; to describe specific agricultural rituals, beliefs, and practices; to analyze the relationship between agricultural myths and rituals; and lastly, to describe and analyze the function(s) of rituals and myths in the context of binabaylan in Tubungan. The study discusses six myths namely: Apik and Manampunay, Pinihakang Daraga, the Datu and the Panaet, the seven Bacam jars and the Panaitan, the origin of rice, corn and beans and the origin of rice varieties. These myths are then analyzed to reveal their importance in the binabaylan symbolism and ideology. The study also discusses seven agricultural rituals, namely: paminhi, patubong, panaet, panudlak, tuos, tuqurabong, and panguyanq. Each ritual is discussed including their accompanying hurabaton (ritual-chant), taboos observed and food being offered. After examining the relationship between the agricultural rituals and the myths, the paper concludes that not all myths have corresponding rituals. Certain rituals have retained their mythic explanation, some have not. Myths and rituals reveal an orientation about the world and of reality. Through the recitation of myths in rituals, people? learn not only to adjust themselves within the society to which they are? born, but also to match their personal pains and conflicts to those of the? heroes narrated in these stories. In these ways, they gain guidance and, eventually, wisdom.
