    Calsado, Darlene Joy D.; Rapiz, Peter Glenn A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    This study seeks to present the context of KALAHI-CIDSS in Sibunag, Guimaras; identify and describe the different venues for community participation; and, identify and analyze the factors that promote or impede community participation. The study utilizes various methods such as survey, Focus Group Discussion, Key Informant Interviews and review of secondary data. The survey involves one hundred eighty six (186) respondents (community members) ages 20-60 of Barangay Ayangan and Barangay Maabay of the Municipality of Sibunag, Guimaras who were selected through convenience sampling. Results show that the community participated in all activities of the Community Empowerment Activity Cycle of the KALAHI-CIDSS Project. The communities’ experience also show that the social forces are the strongest factors that promote and impede community participation.

    The politics of indigeneity: The responses of Brgy. Latazon, Laua-an and Brgy. Igsoro, Bugasong in Antique following their response to indigenous identification
    Bobillo, Ariane Joy S.; Labitan, Jo Ann S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    Brgy. Latazon, Laua-an and Brgy. Igsoro, Bugasong in Antique were found to be indigenous communities in 2008 through a Field-based Investigation conducted by the Philippine National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP). These findings were prompted by a proposed Hydro-power project in both localities that cannot be pursued unless the Commission certifies that the areas involved do not come within ancestral domain. As a response to external identification, changes occurred in community dynamics when Brgy. Latazon accepted the indigenous identity, while Brgy. Igsoro resisted. This study explores the differential responses of the two barangays and the changes that followed. Through structured key-informant interviews, findings revealed that the community’s acceptance or resistance to indigenous identification was due to external ascription and their knowledge of the benefits or disadvantages of the power plant project.
