    The Lim family in the politics of Tibiao
    Calawag, Jelvet Amor E. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-03)
    This research documents and explains the emergence and persistence of the Lim family in the politics of Tibiao. Through interviews and archival research, the study reveals that even before any member of the Lim family entered the politics, they were already one of the prominent families in Tibiao. Their evolution as politicians could be traced back to an ancestor as early as 1919. They become well known and strong in local politics because of their rich political resources (including land, financial capability, human capabilities), their prestigious and historic name and the support of big politicians and other relatives. Their activities and philanthropic deeds as politicians enhanced their family's image; they are highly regarded, respected and trusted by the people. It is concluded that the family maintains their dominance in electoral politics by manifesting their concern to the people using government resources and utilizing their political resources.

    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.

    A comparative study on the implementation of social amelioration program under Bayanihan 1 and 2 in Iloilo City and Davao City, Philippines
    Ayag, Edgar Maverick C., II; Basilan, Glyngie Erika S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)
    To address the economic problems posed by the pandemic, the Philippine government institutionalized two Bayanihan laws to issue cash assistance to the affected families through the Social Amelioration Program (SAP). This study outlined the similarities and differences in the SAP implementation under Bayanihan 1 and 2 of Iloilo City and Davao City through a descriptive research design, particularly their beneficiary selection and accountability efforts. The results of this study suggest divergences in the actors involved and their roles in the implementation, the approaches and behaviors of the city mayors, and the numerous changes in the guidelines set by the national government caused such similarities and differences. Inadequate budget forwarded by the national government produced gaps in personnel complement to cover beneficiary selection and accountability efforts, which were filled up by local government resources. The results of the study are consistent with the claim of the Institutionalist Theory of Public Policy that the actors involved in the institutions, as well as their roles and arrangements, dictate the outcomes of policies. In addition, they are also consistent with the claim of the Rational Choice Theory that actors in the policy arena try to maximize their utility to achieve their goals.
