    Client's assessment of the quality of care of family planning services in the rural health unit of Pavia, Iloilo
    Basas, Orchid Joy B.; Golez, Sheila Mae G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)
    Family Planning Studies in the Philippines had grown into enormous number. They are mostly centered on the acceptance of the various contraceptive methods by the couple and do not usually focus on the quality of care of family planning services. This study was conducted primarily in order to determine the clients’ assessment of the three aspects of Quality of Care of Family Planning Services (choice of methods, information given to clients and mechanisms for continuity of use) provided by the Rural Health Unit in Pavia, Iloilo. The respondents were thirty-five (35) married women of reproductive age (15-49). The data were analyzed using simple frequency counts and percentages. The result of the study revealed that IUD and pills are the most offered contraceptive methods in the clinic. Other methods that are being offered include condoms, injectables, rhythm, withdrawal, ligation and vasectomy. Most of the respondents preferred IUD and pills as their method. It also revealed that the respondents were informed about the side effects and effectiveness of their chosen method. Most of them also were able to discuss what they know about their chosen method. With regards to information service, most of the respondents were informed by the health worker regarding their chosen method. The study also revealed that the mechanisms used by the health worker to ensure continuity of use is through verbal means and by pressuring the respondents to go back in the clinic. By average, the clients’ assessment of the quality of care of family planning services is very good which means that they are satisfied with the services they get from the clinic.

    Acerbo, Ella Luna S.; Gasapo, Griselle L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-04)
    This is a study of the political efficacy and political participation of women in Guimbal Iloilo The study has the following objectives, 1) to measure the level of political efficacy of the selected registered women voter in Guimbal, Iloilo, 2) to analyze the effect of selected socioeconomic factors affecting the level of political efficacy selected registered women voters in Guimbal, Iloilo, specifically a) to determine the relationship between age and level of political efficacy; b) to determine the relationship between educational attainment and the level of political efficacy c) to determine the relationship between income and level of political efficacy and d) to determine the relationship between occupation and level of political, efficacy, lastly, the study aims to determine the relationship between political efficacy and participation of the selected registered women voters in the local politics in Guimbal, Iloilo. The study presents five hypotheses, which are there is no relationship between age and level of political efficacy; 2) there is no relationship between educational attainment and level of political efficacy, 3) there is no relationship between income and level of political efficacy; 4) there is no relationship between occupation and level of political efficacy, and lastly, there is no relationship between political efficacy and political 1 participation. The results of the study show that there is no relationship between participation, thus hypothesis 1 is accepted. Meanwhile, hypothesis 2 is rejected; that is, educational attainment have no relationship with political efficacy. This study shows that a college level of education have a relation to political efficacy. Hypothesis 3 is also rejected; that is, there is no relationship between income and political efficacy. This study reveals that the lowest income bracket P 10-999 have a high political efficacy, compared to the rest of the income brackets who indicate an average level of political efficacy. Hypothesis 4 also rejected; that is, there is no relationship between occupation and political efficacy. This study shows that formal and informal occupations have significant bearing on political efficacy. Meanwhile, hypothesis 5 is accepted; that is, there is no relationship between political efficacy and political participation. This study shows that women may feel highly politically efficacious towards the system; but this may not necessarily translate to high political participation or to a greater tendency to participate in politics. Women in Guimbal may have been affected by their political socialization or by the political events prior to the conduct of the study. Although they really have a high sense of political efficacy, the institution and the local norms limited their capacity to participate effectively in politics. Women have been taught to stay m their homes, to be good housewives, thus , limiting their role to the reproductive sphere. Political matters are not priorities for her, although these could directly or indirectly affect their lives, security, and well-being.

    Fish farming and the fish community: The case of Victorias, Negros Occidental
    Apawan, Maylanie D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-04)
    The rapid expansion of aquaculture in the past decades has brought about some economic benefits, but it has also resulted in various social and environmental problems. This observation points to the need to look at aquaculture development beyond conventional measures emphasizing economic benefits; there is a need to focus on the interplay of social, economic, and environmental factors in looking at aquaculture development. This study looks at the social, economic, and environmental impacts of aquaculture on small fishers in three coastal villages in Victorias, Negros Occidental and examines the responses of small and subsistence fisherfolk to the growth and proliferation of fish farming. The study points out the social and environmental issues usually arise as a consequence of conflicts between fish farmers and small fishers in the use of land and water and also because of the effluent charge and chemical residues coming from fishpond operations. When contextualized within a larger set of social and ecological issues, these conflicts have wider implications, especially when these involve unequal distribution of costs and benefits among different stakeholders.

    The development of the aquaculture industry in the Philippines: 1970-1998
    Anico, Joecel Jones A.; Caulin, Ray D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-03)
    This paper presents and discusses the development of the aquaculture industry in the Philippines, the government policies, and the different factors that may have contributed to this. The aquaculture sector has been prioritized by the Philippine government from the 70's up to the present, viewing it as an integral component in country’s aim to attain economic development through the industry’s perceived positive impact on the communities where these activities take place. The study, however, found out that a closer look at tins so- called impact reveals that not everybody benefits from it. It was found out that the gains that aquaculture brings to these communities are only enjoyed by a selected few. The study also found out that the goals of increasing food supply and generating employment were not attained, at least in the view of the people living nearby these areas. The goal of generating foreign exchange is fulfilled, however, this only benefits an elite social group. These problems are attributed to the weaknesses of the social, political, and economic structures of the country and the loopholes in the design implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the policies and programs adopted by the government.
