    Utang na loob: The Ilonggo experience
    Baldo, Jezzebelle T.; Quirante, Rachel Joy A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study aimed to investigate the construct of utang na loob from the Ilonggo perspective and to distinguish the Filipino concept of utang na loob from Trivers’ model of reciprocal altruism. This research is an exploratory study which made use of focus group discussion for data collection. The data was analyzed using category pattern analysis. Based on the results, utang na loob in the Ilonggo perspective is utang na kabalaslan. Its process is parallel but not equivalent to utang na loob in the Kapwa perspective and partly in reciprocal altruism. However, differences lie in the concept, construct, dimensions and repayment. Also, utang na loob in Kapwa differs with reciprocal altruism in terms of reason for helping, repayment and extent of the process.

    Performativity and subjectivities: A Foucauldian discourse analysis of Pasaway COVID-19 pandemic
    Azarcon, Cherie Izzy; Guadaña, Zennia Grace (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-05)
    This study utilized Foucauldian Discourse Analysis to explore the different constructions of pasaway in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Nine street vendors located around Iloilo City who do not have permanent workspaces were interviewed and their answers served as the text for the analysis. The results showed that their constructions were embedded in five wider discourses: 1) Moral Discourse, 2) Cultural Discourse, 3) Spatial and Temporal Discourse, 4) Economic Discourse, and 5) Power Discourse. Embedded within these five discourses are the different action orientations, positionings, practices, and subjectivities that are informed by the varied constructions of street vendors of the discursive object pasaway in the context of the C0V1D-19 pandemic. The findings also showed that the discourses on the discursive object pasaway are context-specific, performative, and consequential. These are all discussed in relation to social change.

    Drivers' helping behavior towards pedestrians: The role of awareness, responsibility, and personal norms
    Alvero, Twinkle B.; Matondo, Jirah P. (Division of BSocial Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    The effects of individual's norms, consequences and responsibilities on helping behavior were tested using the Norm Activation Theory. A 2x2x2 within—subjects design utilizing the scenario based approach developed by Naumann (2004) was participated by twenty-five (n=25) company drivers, and the scores obtained were measured using Helping Attitude Scale (Nickell, 1998). Interviews were conducted to further understand and explain key information about participants. Results showed that positive personal norms and higher recognition of responsibility affected helping behavior but not awareness of consequences. However, no interaction effect was observed. Therefore, the study lends partial support to the theory. Implication points that companies and LTO must incorporate and promote personal norm enhancement and recognition of responsibility within their team building programs and trainings.
