    Electoral campaign of mayoral candidates of Leon, Iloilo in the 1992 election
    Cababasay, Ivy C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-10)
    This is a descriptive study of the electoral campaign of the six mayoral candidates of Leon, Iloilo in the 1992 election. The 1992 Leon mayoral candidates were Romulo Cabana, Neri Cabsaba. Alejandro Caelian. Jaime Calosing. Rodolfo Camarista and Ismael Candolada. This study aims to present a profile of the 1992 Leon mayoral candidates: to determine the campaign resources; to analyze the campaign organization and the campaign strategies of the mayoral candidates during the electoral campaign: to analyze the voters' choice and perceptions of the 1992 Leon mayoral electoral campaign; and, to analyze the electoral campaign of the mayoral candidates in the 1992 election in Leon. To satisfy these objectives, the researcher interviewed the mayoral candidates, some of their family members, their campaign staff and/or their representatives. A questionnaire was also formulated and was administered to the respondents. The findings of the study reveal that almost all of the mayoral candidates came from prominent families. Most of them came from the upper-middle class families except for Cabana and Cabsaba who considered their family as belonging to the lower class. Except for Romulo Cabana, all mayoral candidates in the 1992 election in Leon were college graduates. Except for Calosing and Camarista all four mayoral candidates had ran for an elective office prior to the 1992 election. The campaign resources, particularly the material resources of a candidate were the determining factor in the success of his electoral campaign. It was also found out that most of the mayoral candidates have no formal structural organization in their electoral campaign except for Cabana and Calosing. Campaign strategies common among the mayoral candidates were holding of caucus in the barangays, distribution of leaflets, stickers, sample ballots and posting of streamers and other campaign materials. Character assasination and mudslinging were also present in the campaign. Voters were more interested in the personal issues raised against the mayoral candidates than their proposed programs of government or public concerns. They (voters) voted for the mayoral candidate based on the latter's personality or personal attributes. Personalities are more remembered than social and political issues. Although there was vote-buying in the 1992 election, the mayoral candidates and the voters themselves considered it peaceful and orderly due to the absence of violence.

    Philippine Armed Forces different response towards different communists insurgents in the Island of Panay a comparative study on the 47th Infantry Battalion and 32nd Civil Relations Unit
    Brillantes, Jarrah S.; Tanate, Marianie C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)
    Communist insurgency is one of the most long withstanding national security problem in the Philippines. There has been no ebb in the counter insurgency measures of the government since the Marcos regime to the present. However, the changes in the communist organization brought about institutional changes on the military’s part. In the current counterinsurgency operations by the armed forces units, there is now an emphasis on unarmed approaches such as civil-military operations, propaganda, psychological warfare and socio-civic activities, instead of just solely conducting armed approaches. Linkages, coordination and collaboration with the local government units in promoting development became significant elements in counterinsurgency operations. This paper examines the different kinds of approaches undertaken by the 47th Infantry Battalion at Calinog, Iloilo and the Civil Relation Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (CRSAFP) in Camp Delgado, Iloilo City toward communist insurgents. The 47th IB and the 32nd CRU are currently conducting a triad approach in the counterinsurgency operations. This triad approach includes combat operations, intelligence and socio-civic operations. In delegating the command from commanding officer to the operating units, the chain of command is well observed and followed. In addressing the insurgency problem, the AFP units have high regards toward local government authorities. Education, training and years in service as well as coordination and cooperation with local civil counterparts affect their competence in operations undertaken.

    The role of key actors in the promotion of local community development: The case of KALAHI-CIDSS projects in Janiuay, Iloilo
    Bartolome, Carie Fel M.; Sotrina, Emalyn S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)
    This research is centred on the research problem - what are the roles of the key actors in the promotion of local community development in the case of the Kapit-bisig Laban Sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-Cidss) projects in the municipality of Janiuay. Iloilo. Firstly, there is a need to explain local community development in the Kalahi-Cidss projects in Janiuay. Iloilo. Next, the paper proceeds to describe the resources that are being employed in Kalahi-Cidss in Janiuay in order to meet its goals. Then, the paper directs on the description of the roles of the key actors in the Kalahi-Cidss projects in Janiuay, Iloilo. The last objective of this paper is to describe the developmental outcomes brought by the projects to the people of Janiuay. The research problem and objectives of the paper were addressed through desk research, secondary material review, project site inspection, informal interviews with the barangay residents, and key informant interview with the Kalahi-Area Coordinator in Janiuay. The method of triangulation was used to avail more complete and more reliable data with less validity threats. It was found out that the Kalahi-Cidss is the flagship program of the Philippine government in addressing poverty in the country. Its foundation lies on the understanding that when people are empowered, they have the capability to spare themselves from poverty. Resources being employed in order to meet the goals of the project were categorized into proximate and non-proximate interventions. Three barangays in Janiuay were studied. The roles of the key actors in each barangay were described in the paper. The roles of the key actors in the three barangays were compared with each other and assessed in relation to the success of the Kalahi-Cidss projects in each respective community. Key actors involved in the projects were the barangay officials and the local community. The project success and developmental outcomes depended largely on how these two actors collaborated with each other. However, most essential in the actual process was how the former performed their task as leaders of the community. Barangay officials are the initiators of local community development through the Kalahi-Cidss.

    Batog kag Aya-ay: The politics of ecological consciousness of the presidents of Barangay Pantalan President Roxas, Capiz
    Bañez, Ma. Arve (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1992-03-01)
    This study examines the folk consciousness on the environment of the residents of Barangay Pantalan, President Roxas, Capiz. A combination of the etic and emic approaches in social sciences was used to make sense out of the informations gathered from the field. This study also identifies Man as Master of Nature, Man and Nature in Antagonism, Man in Harmony with Nature, and Nature as Sacred as the different relationships between human being and Nature. These different relationships between human being and Nature are contained- in the two broad opposing rationalities, namely, Speciesism and Environmentalism. An ethnocartography of Barangay Pantalan is constituted in this study using the folk sense of direction and orientation. In addition, the study examines the folk beliefs and practices built around man-made structure, sea, and the flora and the fauna. This study concludes with a discussion of the politics of environmentalism. Human being does not dominate Nature nor Nature dominates human being in this politics of environmentalism. The same politics embodies ethical dimensions which check the drift toward the destruction of the environment.

    A comparative study of issue and candidate orientation of voters in rural and urban barangays
    Azzaraga, Josephine D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-03)
    Voting is the most important political activity, and for most Filipinos the only means of political participation, engaged in by citizens in a democratic society. Thus, it is important to examine the degree of importance given by voters towards issues as opposed to candidates' ascribed personal traits and achievements and their (the voters’) particularistic interests’ when they cast their votes. The locale, which is either rural or urban, may possibly show different degrees of these influences on the voters. This study, therefore, seeks to determine the level of issue and candidate orientations of voters in rural and urban barangays. The study also aims to compare the level of issue and candidate orientations of voters from rural and urban barangays. Given these objectives, a survey was conducted in the rural barangays of Bacauan, Indag-an and North Kirayan in Miag-ao, Iloilo and the urban barangays of San Pedro, Rizal and Rizal Pala-pala II in Iloilo City with a total of 100 respondents. A questionnaire which contains issue and candidate orientation scales was used. These scales were designed to elicit the issue awareness and concern of the respondents when they chose their candidate for president in the 1992 election as well as the respondents' attraction towards candidates when they voted The findings of the study reveal that voters in rural barangays are moderately issue- oriented. The study also found a majority of the voters from urban barangays to be moderately issue oriented. Among rural voters, the level of candidate orientation was found to be moderate. Voters from urban barangays were found to have a moderate level of candidate orientation. Results of the study using the Mann-Whiney U test showed that voters from rural barangays were no less issue-oriented than those from urban barangays. Also, no difference was found in the level of candidate orientation of rural and urban voters. Results suggest that attitudes towards candidates and issues in national elections are not affected by the locale of the voter.

    The empire of Flor Yntrencherado: A study on anti-colonial resistance
    Alayon, John Richard S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-10)
    Behind the disciplinary mechanisms of the State can be read the haunting memory of contagions, plagues, rebellions, crimes, brigandage, deserters, people who appear and disappear, live and die in disorder. These were the pronounced realities of the Philippine colonial landscape that usually kept the colonial government and its allied class, the principalia, busy. In taking a closer look at the details of these events, however, one can see that all these were the suppressed significant "Others" in an effort of the colonial government to penetrate society, regulate social relationships, extract rewards, and appropriate resources in determined ways. This study presents the life story of Yntrencherado, the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Philippines, in his own light. It is about his exploits, spiritual awakening, missionary activities, theoretical formation and discursive practices, economic enterprise, and networking from the Gigantes all throughout Western Visayas. It also takes into account the formation of the Union (his organization) and eventually its transformation into a full-blown Empire with Yntrencherado Emperor, as its Supreme leader. It also presents the inevitable clash between Yntrencherado and his Empire and the State and its instrumentalities, with the latter being the center of power, bearer of modernity, and an emblem of rationality. Thus, it is imperative to lay bare the perception of the State of the Empire and vice-versa. Moreover, the study explains the specific ways in which the Empire proved subversive to the order supplied and perpetuated by the State. It also determines how the Empire constitutes a form of resistance against the colonial state's drive to rationalize life. The study argues that Yntrencherado, as a historical subject of linear history, is hard to contain. In projecting turn against the dominant historical construct of statehood, one was able to comprehend his life, works, activities, and writings. The state, in its drive towards hegemon,y considered various aspects of Yntrencherado and his Empire as a threat to the former's existence and purpose of governance. On the other hand, Yntrencherado and his Empire felt that some government bureaucratic regulations and instrumentalities were intrusions into their private domains. This eventually led to subversion. The study shows that Yntrencherado and his Empire were subversives to the order supplied and perpetuated by the state in a sense that they had their own center of power. They had their own views as to how everyday life's to be spent and governed, specific religio-political norms and practices to follow, and a leader who was the ultimate source of all knowledge and power in the Empire. The study found out that the Empire constituted a form of resistance against the colonial state's drive to rationalize life in so many ways. On a more pronounced feature, it confronted the infrastructural power of the state violently. Scores of life were lost and properties were damaged in an attempt of the Empire to take over the control of governance from the state. In a more subtle but persisting way, the Empire, Yntrencherado and the Yntencheradistas disregarded many state's rules and regulations or doing nothing at all about the state's official policies. These forms of defiance, however, earned the animosity of the legitimate authority and the military. As the nation-state moves onward, according to Foucault, its coercive power create deviants, Yntrencherado, his Empire and his followers included.
