    Statement ang Malolo: An analysis of an Ilonggo concept
    Bartonico, Alora Grace P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)
    This paper examines the different perspectives that have been used to define the meaning of Ilonggo concept malolo. It argues that the concept malolo derives not only its linguistic characteristics but it is also manifested through observable behaviors of Ilonggos. It reviews the meaning of the concept across history by inspecting some pieces of Ilonggo literature of the 20th century. This paper also examines the meaning of the term as it is understood by today's speakers themselves. It describes the use of the term malolo as a stereotype for Ilonggos by both Hiligaynon and non-Hiligaynon speakers. It observes that the concept has different uses and meanings across generations; as well, the understanding of the concept differs from rural and urban areas

    Gender differences in desired quality of mates among young employed adults in Iloilo City
    Banzuelo, Mariddie L.; Calibjo, Marie Tonnie O. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)
    This study measured the relationship between the variables as mentioned, gender and desired qualities in mates. It also identified the desired characteristics deemed important by males and females in their potential mate as supported by the evolutionary theory. Two hundred young employed single individuals working in various establishments in Iloilo City completed a 12 item questionnaire which allowed them to rank the characteristics in order of preference. Descriptive analysis showed that there are gender differences in the choice of desired characteristics and is indeed supported by the evolutionary theory on mate selection. Cultural and social aspects were proven to be influencing factors in determining some of the top three characteristics. To determine if the genders differed in the ranks they gave to each trait, the Mann-Whitney test was used.
