    The effect of the NFA rice subsidy program "Tindahan Natin" on the political attitudes of its rural poor household beneficiaries in Barangay Caraudan, Janiuay, Iloilo
    Bebelone, Diana Mae R.; Fernandez, Charity T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    This study described the food security situation in a rural village where an NFA Rice Subsidy Program “Tindahan Natin” is in operation. It analyzes whether or not the Tindahan Natin program (IV) affects the political attitudes (DV) of its rural poor household beneficiaries. The research assessed the various levels of external political efficacy, political cynicism, political trust, and cynical statism of thirty-three (33) rural poor households (16 non-beneficiaries and 17 beneficiaries) in Barangay Caraudan, Janiuay, Iloilo. The study employed the Quasi-Experimental Method, specifically the Nonequivalent Control Group Design (NCGD). Using the non-probability purposive snow-ball sampling technique, a survey was conducted which assessed the sociodemographic profile of the respondents and measured their levels of political attitudes through Likert-Scale statements. Results show that the “Tindahan Natin” program by the government has been effective in increasing the accessibility and availability of basic food resources— specifically rice—in Barangay Caraudan. The levels of political trust among the beneficiaries of the food subsidy program is a a little bit higher compared to the nonbeneficiaries, which means that the government program has possibly strengthened the positive attitude and outlook towards the government, its institutions, and bureaucracy in general. All rural poor household respondents are highly cynical towards the government and the elected leaders and politicians. A substantial majority—regardless of being a beneficiary or a non-beneficiary of the Tindahan Natin—are highly dependent on the government’s provision of public services addressing food insecurity. There is no difference in the respondents’ assessment of the responsiveness of the government.

    Bedia, Nadine Grace D.; Petrola, Mary Anne G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    A large number of the Philippine population has visual impairment problems and many of them are children. The study explored on the worldview, life aspirations and quality of life of visually impaired children. Five (5) visually impaired children aged 11-18 years old who studied at SPED Integrated School, Iloilo City were the participants of the study. Using a descriptive and phenomenological approach, the visually impaired children were purposively selected to answer the interview guide. Findings show that children under study came from nurturing homes and they get different reactions from their peers when they were mainstreamed unlike that when they are inside the SPED classroom. Also, they regarded some life aspirations to be important but the likelihood of attaining these goals was low. Generally, these children have moderate to good quality of life. Their level of superiority is low, thus, they have this feeling of inadequacy.

    Rediscovering San Remegio's mineral wealth
    Abasquez, Edilyn Balsomo (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)
    Responsible management of the locality's mineral wealth may provide countless benefits that will contribute to the economic and social development of San Remigio, Antique. This may be in the form of employment opportunities, increased revenues, construction of vital structures such as roads, bridges, communication and transportation facilities, enhancement of social services like in education, health and security measures, among others. The municipality of San Remigio is endowed with vast mineral resources which have remained untapped for commercial purposes. Operations had been on-and-off at various times in history and the Gemstone Processing Industry that covered four barangays of Bagumbayan, Lapak, Trinidad and Lumpatan, which at first seemed to be promising, also suffered the same fate. San Remigio, being a third class municipality, and still has a long way to go towards development, could make use of these resources, not only to answer the basic needs of the people, but to efficiently respond to the socio-economic imperatives of the times to liberate the people from their present predicament, who mostly depend upon their resources for livelihood and subsistence. Therefore, sound management of these resources, anchored on the principle of sustainable development, may help the present generation ensure the future of those yet unborn from the womb of time. This thesis then, explores the management of San Remigio's mineral resource, with the active participation of government and non-government institutions, legislation and law enforcement, through qualitative interviews and visits to the old and current mining sites where Copper mining explorations are ongoing in Barangay Carawisan.
