    The dynamics in the patterns and changes of party affiliation of municipal candidates in the last three local elections in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo
    Braña, Lenirose A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    This is a descriptive study on the party affiliation of municipal candidates in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo. More specifically, this study attempted to determine the relevance of party affiliation and to analyse the dynamics in the patterns and changes of party affiliation of municipal candidates. A personal interview was conducted to a sample of informants. The study reveals that the relevance of party affiliation is mostly for convenience, organized campaign programs and financial support; the personality-oriented politics dominated the political arena of Barotac Nuevo that nobody can influence the victory of a candidate but his own self; that municipal candidates stay in the same political party because of personal relationships, convenience, a good leadership and it is an administration party; that the change of party affiliation was caused by the candidates’ ambition to hold public office, to progress in their political career, personal grudges and discontentment of other party-mates and convenience; that what greatly influenced the candidates to win is their personality and not on whether they remain or change their party affiliation; and that it is difficult to run independently if the candidate lacks the money, the fame and the personality to meet the demands of the voters.

    Factors affecting compliance of Iloilo City jeepney drivers (Molo via City High and Jaro Mandurriao) with anti-smoking ordinance: An assessment of Local Government Unit (LGU) ordinance implementation
    Biboso, Rissa A.; Salar, Edmund B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2004-03)
    The study sought to determine the factors affecting compliance of Iloilo City jeepney drivers to the anti-smoking ordinance, as well as assess the implementing mechanisms of the LGU in enforcing the said ordinance. Forty three (43) jeepney drivers plying two routes served as the respondents of the study, seven drivers from the Molo via City High route and thirty six respondents from Jaro Mandurriao. Likert scales were used to measure the respondents’ level of awareness regarding the ordinance and level of perception of legitimacy of authority. On the other hand, rating scales were used to rank the respondents’ reasons for compliance to the anti-smoking ordinance. Results showed that age and educational attainment do not affect the level of awareness and perception of legitimacy of authority of the jeepney drivers. Furthermore, the primary reasons for the jeepney drivers’ compliance to the anti-smoking ordinance were their level of awareness of the ordinance, the P300.00 fine for violators, confiscation of driver’s license and the presence of the Anti-smoking Task Force. Results showed that the implementing mechanisms employed by the LGU were effective.

    The institutional performance of the Roxas City Local Government Unit in Diwal conservation based on the localization mechanisms of Philippine Agenda 21
    Bernas, Mary Mayzee D.; Diocena, Ma. Brenda May H. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)
    The study sought to describe the institutional performance of the Roxas City Local Unit in Diwal conservation based on the localization mechanisms of Philippine Agenda 21. Specifically, it aimed to determine the following: (1) Roxas City LGU’s employment of the localization mechanism of Philippine Agenda 21 in Diwal conservation; (2) results of the performance of the Roxas City LGU in the actual conservation of Diwal; and (3) constituency evaluation regarding the Diwal conservation policy. The objectives were met through archival research and survey research with the protagonists like the Mayor, Vice Mayor, Sangguniang Panlungsod members, DA employees, and City Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management Council members, and with the residents of Barangay.Punta Cogon Roxas City as respondents. It is found out that the protagonists generally have a positive attitude regarding the Diwal conservation efforts attributable to the nature of their jobs, to the immediate benefits that the Diwal project provides, to the status of Roxas City as the Seafood Capital of the Philippines, and to what Kaase and Newton refer to as lifestyle/new politics. Statistical and information facilities employed are found to be sufficient. At present, eight local legislations that have been formulated and implemented by the SP and CFARMC members are found to manifest the sustainable development of the Diwal. Moreover, there is an existing structure of multi-stakeholdership of the public authorities, DA employees, CFARMC members, and the Roxas City Diwal divers, which is consistent with the basic principle of collective choices and responsibility towards the realization of sustainable development goals as espoused in PA 21. The operationalization strategies employed in Diwal conservation were found and an ample amount of money has already been spent for the Diwal conservation efforts. Furthermore, it was also found out that there is a significant increase in the number of programs and trainings conducted from the year 2004 to 2005, manifesting a growing concern for the Diwal project. Development reports have been documented but were not communicated to larger institutions. Data shows that there is a remarkable revival in the Diwal industry. Constituency evaluation also shows that they are generally satisfied. The research findings showed that the Roxas City Local Government is effective in its substantial localization of the PA 21 concept of sustainable development applied in Diwal conservation. It was able to revive the Diwal stock, and was able to elicit positive reactions from its constituents. Thus comparative advantage, more legislations regarding the areas of tourism, export, quality of Diwal industry, and uphold the rights and welfare of the basic sectors which are the Diwal divers. In addition, strengthening of the basic sectors enhancing their leverage capabilities should also be pursued.
