    This is a descriptive study on the characteristics and contributions of the political elites of Tubungan, Iloilo to their Municipality from 1992 to 2001. It is focused on the mayors, the vice-mayors and the members of the Sangguniang Bayan. The researchers presented the characteristics and the contributions they have made for the development of their municipality. The political elites’ contributions were measured in terms of the programs, the projects and the ordinances they have made. There are three factors that helped the researchers in the discussion of the topic: (1) The political careers of the political elites, (2) the characteristics of the political elites, and (3) their contributions to the municipality of Tubungan, Iloilo. In as much as ideal and necessary, the researchers tried to gather all documents about the topic, and tried to interview all the political elites; however, it was not possible due to some constraints like some documents were already lost, and two of the political elites are already living outside the province. The findings of the study is that the political elites of Tubungan share some common characteristics such as: (1) all have landholdings, (2) all are active members of organizations in their municipality, (3) all are earning more than Pl00, 000 a year, (4) all are Roman Catholics, & (5) all are contributing to their municipality’s development. The mayors’ contributions are viewed in terms of projects and programs such as infrastructures, delivery of social services and improved agricultural productions. For the vice-mayors and the Sangguniang Bayan members, their contributions are measured in terms of the number of ordinances that they have legislated aimed at improving the lives of the people of Tubungan. Finally, the people of Tubungan viewed their contributions to be beneficial.

    The perceived responsiveness of laws and policies addressing the social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean students undertaking a non-degree course in the city of Iloilo
    Abastillas, Cristine Joy P.; Armentia, Shena Mae C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-04)
    This study examines the perceived responsiveness of laws and policy addressing the social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean students undertaking a non-degree course in the city of Iloilo. It delves into the laws and policy that govern these alien students namely, the Office Memorandum Order No. 00-57 derived from the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940 and the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines. The subjects of this study are South Korean students taking a non-degree English language course in fourteen tutorial centers located in the city of Iloilo. Moreover, tutors employed in the said English language schools are as well interviewed to confirm some issues that South Korean students experience in their temporary sojourn in the city. The involvement of the Bureau of Immigration Officer-in-Charge and the Iloilo City Legal Counsel Official as key informants were also critical in gathering some data pertinent to the concerns faced by South Korean students as they provide profound information with a touch of legality. This study found out that the laws and policy identified and examined in this study partially address the social concerns, needs and problems of alien students in Iloilo City. The Penal Code only addresses aliens’ safety concerns and problems, while the Immigration Act, on the other hand, solely addresses the matters relating to immigration procedures and requirements which includes the acquisition of Special Study Permit. These two laws were found to have gaps since they do not address all the social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean students perceived by the interviewees. The social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean students in the city are not addressed because of the non-specificity of the two laws and the policy examined. Nonetheless, there still exist other domestic statutes and pronouncements that can address the concerns and problems of these alien students. Unfortunately, these laws are already outside the scope of this research project. Therefore, it is recommended that other laws be analyzed so as to know whether they effectively respond to the other social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean non-degree course students or not.
