    Children's rights and welfare: Case study on the effects of the 1988 family code to illegitimate children in Iloilo
    Bagsit, Liza Flor T.; Huesca, Andrea Fideliz T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    This research paper looks into how the rights of illegitimate children has been changed with the passage of the 1988 Family Code. Using 6 case studies, this research examines how the Code affected the assertion of these children's rights by themselves or by their parent/guardian. It further looks into the avenues that can restrict or facilitate the exercise of these rights. The 1988 Family Code has effected changes with regard to illegitimate children. It eliminated the classification of illegitimate children and it brought improvement on the law of succession wherein the illegitimate child gets 1/2 of the share of the legitimate child. Despite these gains, the Family Code brought about discrimination against illegitimate children in the sense that they cannot use their fathers' surnames unless acknowledged. Moreover, as illegitimate children, they get an unequal share in the inheritance from their fathers. In the eyes of the law there is still inequality between legitimate and illegitimate children. Illegitimate children are less protected by the law than their counterparts. The 1988 Family Code is an improvement with regard to the promotion of the rights of illegitimate children, but if we are to advocate equal rights between illegitimate and legitimate children, there is still a need to change the provisions of the said law. There are also several factors which serve as obstacles to their assertion of rights. These are: concern with “shame”; time consuming to file cases in court; financial constraints; and, lack of incentive in establishing filiation when the father is penniless.

    Almeria, Jovy Ann A.; Pagapos, Roldan A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-03)
    This study examines the dynamic of collaboration of the three actors, the NGO. GO) and PO for development in two different barangays; one having an insurgency problem and the other barangay with no insurgency problem and these two barangays are KALAHI- CIDSS grantees. The study had three guiding objectives. Two selected barangays in the Municipality of Jamindan, Capiz, the barangay captains of the said barangays including the Philippine Army, area coordinator of KALAHI-CIDSS in Jamindan and the DILG personnel composed the subjects of the study. In-depth interview and archival research were conducted to gather necessary information to answer the objectives of the study. The results of the study revealed that the dynamics of collaboration of NGO, GO and PO for development vary depending on the nature of the barangay. There have been apparent manifestations that the collaboration of NGO, GO and PO for development (KALAHI- CIDSS Program) have been effective in alleviating the poverty problem of the barangay as well as solving the problem of insurgency.
