    Economic and living conditions of migrant households in Baybay Norte, Miagao, Iloilo
    Calizo, Renz Marion J.; Ydulzura, Nona Jean C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2024-07)
    This study aims to determine the economic and living conditions of the migrant community in Baybay Norte, Miagao, Iloilo. The total number of respondents in the household survey is 101. Decile dispersion ratio, Gini coefficient, and logistic regression were utilized to identify the determinants of poverty and the level of inequality among migrant households. Results indicated that 21.8% of the migrant households fall below the poverty line. The poorest 10% accounts for 3.7% of the total income compared to the 10% richest, which accounts for 36.1%. A Gini index of 0.40 also reveals the high level of inequality among them. The logistic regression results reveal that the percentage of earners in the household, formal education of household head, level of expenditure per capita, engagement in formal employment, and electricity consumption are the significant variables that determine the likelihood of the migrant households being poor. The findings of the study have significant implications for the development of interventions and policies aimed at improving the living conditions of migrant households experiencing poverty.

    Perception of 4th-year criminology students in Iloilo City towards the CPP-NPA and their attitude towards red-tagging
    Callada, Gilbert C.; Panes, Princess Grace T. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)
    The Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) is portrayed negatively by the state, state forces, and the media. This negative portrayal of the organization fuels the counterinsurgency campaigns mainly done by the military and police. The security forces have also been flagged of red tagging leftist organizations accused of assisting the CPP-NPA. As future members of the police, this study aims to examine Iloilo City-based criminology students’ perception of CPP- NPA and their attitude toward red-tagging. The association between their perception and attitude and the manner by which concepts of communism and CPP-NPA were introduced to them in their university context were also examined. This study used a combined survey and in-depth interview of select respondents. Results show that Criminology students have generally negative perceptions of the CPP-NPA; they perceive the CPP-NPA as enemies of the state. Their ROTC program at large, together with their professors, and peers introduced the concept of CPP-NPA to them negatively, with their ROTC as the most significant. Despite this, students have a negative attitude toward red-tagging suggesting their disapproval of it. There is no association between their perception of CPP-NPA and their attitude towards red- tagging, which means their negative perception of the CPP-NPA does not lead to their approval of red-tagging.

    An analysis of gender mainstreaming efforts in public and private HEIs in Iloilo City
    Calaguing, Vanessa J. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)
    In recent years, gender mainstreaming has become a crucial focus of Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs) aiming to comply with government mandates in promoting gender equality and development. While there have been studies that looked separately into gender mainstreaming efforts of public and private HEIs in the Philippines, there has yet to be a study analyzing the extent that gender mainstreaming efforts are pursued. This study used a descriptive research design, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to address three research questions: (1) How did the composition, tenure, capacities, responsibilities, and experiences of Gender Focal Point System (GFPS) members influence gender mainstreaming efforts in the public and private HEIs under study in the past five years? (2) To what extent are gender concepts integrated into the curricula of the public and private HEIs? (3) What is the level of gender sensitivity among faculty and staff in relation to the existing gender mainstreaming efforts in their respective universities in the past five years? A self-made questionnaire was used for Key Informant Interviews (KII) and surveys. K1I results showed compliance with GFPS structure in the public HEI, while the private HEI had yet to establish their GFPS. Quantitative data identified deficiencies in curriculum integration and gender sensitivity among faculty and staff in the public HEI, highlighting a disconnect with KII claims. Existing challenges contributing to this disconnect were identified, and recommendations were provided to enhance gender mainstreaming. Despite the absence of a structured GFPS, the private HEI achieved relatively high scores in curriculum integration and gender sensitivity, indicating that their institutional efforts are impactful. This study offers valuable insights into mainstreaming gender and development in higher education, including progress, challenges, and potential areas for improvement.
