    Bianet, Hedda C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1994-03)
    People's organizations are formed by NGO's to help the fisherfolk uplift their economic well-being and to ensure their participation in charting their future. The Asosasyon Sang Magagmay Nga Mangingisda Sa Miag-ao, Iloilo (AMMMI), as a people's organization, has been existing for almost seven years. Its existence could be accounted for by the participation of the members in the organization. Thus, the study was made. The objectives of the study were met: 1.

    Betita, Jomar Alyzar A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-04)
    This research analyzes the efficiency of the operation of the Lupon Tagapamayapa in selected barangays of Jaro, Iloilo City. Its objectives cover analysis of aspects of the operation of the lupon within the area, such as the adequacy of knowledge that the members of the lupon have regarding amicable settlement procedures, the adherence of the lupon to the functions set by the Katarungang Pambarangay Law, the settlement cases handled by the lupon within the area and the results of these disputes and the problems encountered by the lupon in its operation. This study showed that majority of the Lupon members have inadequate knowledge regarding the operation of the Lupon and lacks the necessary knowhow in the implementation of amicable settlement in the area. Majority of the lupon in the area failed to meet the second function set by the law which is to conduct monthly meetings. The research also pointed out the deviations committed by the lupon in enforcing amicable settlement. The problems of the lupon deal mostly with the lack of financial support extended to them by the government.

The study found out that male and female modes of participation in CFRM had no significant difference. The difference was in the extent of their participation, which was caused by the social roles they played.

    Socio-economic and demographic characteristics of folk-healers in Bingawan, Iloilo
    Batangas, Emily Trina C.; Tipsay, Gladys Pearl P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-04)
    This is a study on the socio-economic characteristics of folk healers in Bingawan, Iloilo. The study attempts to know the different kinds of folk healers in Bingawan, the illnesses that are referred to them, how they treat these illnesses, and how they participate in the community. The findings of the study reveal that there are 53 folk healers in the town. Most of them are female and married. Most of them have low educational attainment and are poor. They rely mostly on farming as their source of income. As folk healers, they do not earn much from their practice. The different types of folk healers are hilot, manughilot, manug-luy-a, manugbutbut, herbolaryo, and manug-apuk. Sprains and broken bones are the usual illnesses that are brought to them. Community participation is very low among the folk healers. Only a few are members of any community organization. Giving more training and encouraging them to join in community affairs can be beneficial, not only for the development of their skills but for the community as a whole. Their services in healing illnesses have stood the test of time and they are helping many people in the village by providing service at a lower cost. Integrating them in modem medicine would legitimize and raise the quality of their service. With this they can reach out to more people and become more effective in their profession.
