    The nature of communication and relationship between migrant parents and left-behind children
    Cabigunda, Gael J.; Corpus, Hazel Jade L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    This study is qualitative in nature which sought to describe the nature of communication between migrant parents and left-behind children and to describe how their communication influenced their relationship and the balance of the family unit despite the physical separation and the distance. The family system’s theory was used as a framework in this study, to better explain the nature of communication and the relationship between migrant parents and left-behind children among transnational families. Twenty-two (22) left-behind children were conveniently sampled to participate in focus group discussions conducted by the researchers. Experiences of left-behind children on migration were captured through the use of an interview guide which included questions pertaining to: (1) the methods used in communication, (2) the problems encountered in communication, (3) the content of the communication and (4) the parent-child relationship. Data was then analysed using thematic analysis. Results showed that the nature of communication and relationship between migrant parents and left-behind children are dependent on: the characteristics of the parent and the child, the methods used in communication, the existing relationship before migration occurred, and the guardian’s role in the triangle relationship. In conclusion, the frequency of communication served as an affirmation of the existing relationship between parent and child. Furthermore, when the parent and child have an open relationship they enjoy a better quality of communication. Communication was also used by parent and child to fulfil their roles and affirm their membership in the family despite physical separation and the distance.

    A case analysis of the rehabilitation programs of the Municipality of Pavia, Iloilo after typhoon Frank
    Alvarado, Rejay Y.; Sodusta, Russell P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-05)
    This undergraduate research entitled A Case Analysis of the Rehabilitation Programs of the Municipality of Pavia, Iloilo after Typhoon Frank presents the different rehabilitation programs implemented by the Local Government of Pavia and their effects to the people of the said municipality. Using three different methods of data gathering and data triangulation, the researchers found out that the LGU of Pavia implemented a number of rehabilitation programs which include human, structural and livelihood rehabilitation. Results, however, show that there is an information gap between the implementers and the receiving end since the people barely recognize or are aware of, or are dissatisfied with the efforts and the performance of the LGU. The results also highlight some of the factors that lead to the vulnerability of the Municipality of Pavia to natural hazards. The analysis, which uses Piers Blaikie’s Release of Pressures Model, entails the ways by which the vulnerabilities of the municipality will be solved and eventually progress to safety. The researchers’ recommendations include suggestions for improvement based on the thematic areas of the Hyogo Framework for Action: governance; risk assessment; knowledge and information; risk management and vulnerability reduction, and, disaster preparedness and response.
