    Verbal exhortation and modeling: Their effects on the degree on conformity
    Anotado, Celiste C.; Buyco, Jo Mita S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-03)
    The research experiment was aimed to determine whether verbal exhortation and modeling had an effect on conformity in implementing rules and regulations. The sample of the research experiment involved fourth year students from Oton National High School. Eighty participants (n=80), 40 males and 40 females, were selected and assigned to the four experimental conditions and received appropriate experimental treatment. Conformity was measured by the number of students who took off their shoes before entering the library. After the analysis of the data, this experimental study revealed that there was a significant relationship between the variables of modeling and verbal exhortation, x2= 4.55 (df=l), p < .05 . Regardless of the presence or absence of a model, conformity was higher among participants who were subjected to verbal exhortation than those who did not receive verbal exhortation

    The role of Filipino children in the guerrilla war against the Japanese in Panay, 1942-1945
    Apin, Oliver Brian M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines, 1998)
    This is a study about the significant role of Filipino children in the guerrilla resistance movement in Panay from 1942 to 1945. The study seeks to: (a) identify who were these child guerrillas who participated in the guerrilla war, (b) ascertain the reasons why they participated in the resistance movement, (c) identify what roles they played and analyze how their roles helped the guerrilla resistance movement in Panay. The researcher utilized the technique of oral history and narratives of child guerrillas who were former members of the 61st Infantry Division. Secondary informants, who have knowledge about the resistance movement in Panay during the Second World War, like relatives, friends, and unit mates/comrades-in-arms of the child guerrillas were also interviewed. The approach used by the researcher in interviewing the informants was informal and did not make use of a questionnaire. The researcher let the informants tell their experiences during the guerrilla war. Materials from various libraries, such as books, theses, magazines, memoirs, and military documents, were also utilized. The collected data were then analyzed and cross-examined by corroborating the testimonies of the primary and secondary informants and findings in the library research in order to establish the authenticity of their narratives. From the informants, the researcher found out that there were a variety of reasons why they participated in the guerrilla resistance movement. Among these were patriotism, personal grievances, the desire to satisfy their sense of adventure, and economic conditions. The researcher also found out that adult guerrillas coerced some of the children. The research reveals that the contributions of children to the guerrilla movement were very significant. Their responsibilities as guerrillas include guarding mobile guerrilla installations; doing household chores, like cooking, washing clothes, cleaning weapons and campgrounds; and giving first aid to wounded guerrillas. Some of the child guerrillas were also involved in intelligence operations, signal and communications assignments, and military/combat operations. The researcher also found out from credible informants that there were almost a hundred child guerrillas who served the 61st Division. Most of them are still unidentified.

    Patterns and shifts of the Carriada system of San Remegio, Antique in Western Panay
    Alera, Geralyn G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-03)
    This descriptive research identifies the patterns and shifts in the transport and trading practices of the carriada across the southern boundaries between the provinces of Antique and Iloilo. Along with occular observations, interviews were conducted by the researcher with village residents of San Remigio (Antique) to gain insights into the everyday workings of village life. The results reveal that there have been changes in the carriada system explained by changes in the availability of vehicles and animals used and types and levels of productivity of local crops. Another significant factor affecting the development of the carriada were directly relevant to the settings of Barangay Agricula and Barangay Panpanan 1: the population increase in both village. However, the changes in the carriada system did not greatly alter the characteristics of the peasant economy of these areas. Although more people engage in more trade, their incomes/profits are not that substantial to change their life patterns. People still live in houses made of wood, bamboo and nipa, and crops they yield from their farms are just enough for family consumptions. Most residents in the mountain areas still aspire to obtain a living from their farms for generations to come.
