    Exploring gendered experiences and job satisfaction of female public lawyers in Iloilo
    Balagosa, Andrea Marie D.; De la Cruz, Kish S.; Delen, Julie-Ann G.; Estocapio, Sharen Ilyich G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)
    Females are now well-represented in the traditionally male-dominated field of the legal profession. However, in the Philippines, gender discrimination, such as inequality in hierarchical positions and work assignments, still prevails in the legal field. In addition, the multiple burdens females face hinders them from finding effective work-life balance and affect the general well-being of female public lawyers. Hence, this study aimed to explore female public lawyers' experiences and challenges that affect their job satisfaction. The study also examined the Public Attorney's Office (PAO) policies and practices to ensure gender equity in the workplace. The researchers utilized a descriptive research design and a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods to gather in-depth insights and provide a more comprehensive analysis. The research participants were selected through Purposive Sampling and were composed of female public lawyers working in Iloilo. The study revealed that female lawyers in PAO believe they neither experience any form of gender discrimination nor maltreatment in the office. However, the study results also indicate that patriarchal structures and views still abound in their workplaces which contribute to overall job satisfaction, along with multiple burdens, and socio-demographic variations. The researchers recommend that the PAO take further action regarding its institutional efforts to employ a more gendersensitive and inclusive approach to ensuring a healthy working dynamic and environment.

    Allones, April Joy G.; Fillaro, Geraldine M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-03)
    This study explains the process of going back to the mainstream of society of former rebels and their political participation in the barangay politics. Descriptive in nature, it has the following objectives; first, is to identify the social climate and political recruitment patterns (reasons, mindset, and community situation) of rebel returnees; second, is to identify the resources from national or local politicians and “partido”, who endorsed the rebel returnees; third to identify the factors behind the success or failure of rebel returnee candidates in barangay elections. The method used in gathering of the data was personal interview with an interview guide. The study found out that in the recruitment, selection and election patterns of individuals, whether a private individual or a rebel returnee, several factors are considered before the people decides who they wanted to vote. Personality traits, kinship ties and political machineries are always important to dominate local or national politics in the Philippines. Motivation and political were also popular reasons for winning the elections. Inspired and influence by the doctrines of the underground movement, the rebel returnees joined politics due to their strong conviction to effect changes they had been advocating ever since. But, their rebel background had been a setback for their election into public position. They refused endorsement from local partidos for they believe and adhered to their genuine cause of fielding themselves in politics without political backings. Some of these rebel returnees succeeded in their quest for barangay position and some did not. The success and failure of each rebel returnees had been determined by varying factors present in the society.
