    Perception of 4th-year criminology students in Iloilo City towards the CPP-NPA and their attitude towards red-tagging
    Callada, Gilbert C.; Panes, Princess Grace T. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)
    The Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) is portrayed negatively by the state, state forces, and the media. This negative portrayal of the organization fuels the counterinsurgency campaigns mainly done by the military and police. The security forces have also been flagged of red tagging leftist organizations accused of assisting the CPP-NPA. As future members of the police, this study aims to examine Iloilo City-based criminology students’ perception of CPP- NPA and their attitude toward red-tagging. The association between their perception and attitude and the manner by which concepts of communism and CPP-NPA were introduced to them in their university context were also examined. This study used a combined survey and in-depth interview of select respondents. Results show that Criminology students have generally negative perceptions of the CPP-NPA; they perceive the CPP-NPA as enemies of the state. Their ROTC program at large, together with their professors, and peers introduced the concept of CPP-NPA to them negatively, with their ROTC as the most significant. Despite this, students have a negative attitude toward red-tagging suggesting their disapproval of it. There is no association between their perception of CPP-NPA and their attitude towards red- tagging, which means their negative perception of the CPP-NPA does not lead to their approval of red-tagging.

    Leadership styles: A comparative study between first and second generation local politicians in eight Municipalities of Antique
    Caburlan, Nesgen Rhea C.; Magbanua, Ma. Edilyn (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    This paper looks at the different factors influencing leadership styles between first and second generation local political leaders in eight municipalities of Antique (Belison, Barbaza, Bugasong, Hamtic, Patnongon, San Jose, Sibalom and Tibiao) from 2010. By examining the results from the survey conducted, the researchers were able to identify the differences of leadership styles employed by these leaders and the subcategory on generational differences they belong to. Most of the leaders belong to the first generation, have held elective office previously and have no family members also in politics. Majority of the local political leaders in the selected municipalities rate themselves as charismatic type of leaders. The self-rating is consistent with those of their subordinates suggesting strong parallels in the depiction of leadership.

    Water politics: The influence of power politics in accessing domestic water at Hamtic and Sibalom, Antique
    Aller, Emmanuel C.; Macuja, Yra Frances O. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)
    Philippines has a total annual renewable water of 479 billion cubic meters from surface and groundwater sources (ADB. 2013). Despite this seeming abundance, water supply remains scarce and unequally distributed among rural communities. To address this gap, the national government has come up with various funding mechanisms for small domestic water infrastructure projects. This paper describes the different features of the barangay governmentrun water projects in Hamtic and Sibalom, Antique, funded through Congressional Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) from 2003-2013. It examines how formal mechanisms (government funding process) and informal arrangements (clientelism and power politics), influenced the access of barangays to water projects. It also describes how distance from the project site, financial capability, quality of water service, and relationship between households and incumbent politicians influenced people’s water access from the barangay government-run water utility once completed. Interviews among district officer, managers, barangay captains; and survey on 80 and 79 households in the two locales were utilized. Clientelism and power politics was found to have a general effect on how funds for water was allocated and accessed by the barangay from amongst many in the Congressional district. However, such was not prevalent in individual to barangay level of access.
