    Computer-mediated-interactive-communication technology and self-disclosure of seafarers in Miagao
    Barrios, Justicia S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-03)
    Thirteen (13) married seafarer residents of Miagao were selected through convenience sampling for this study. They had at least 2 years of on board working experience and have finished their contracts abroad in not more than a year during the data collection. A semi-structured interview guide was utilized to gather basic information and the implication of computer-mediated-interactive-communication technology to selfdisclosure between seafarers and their partners. Results showed that all respondents utilize cellular phones and that majority utilize computers for video chatting and internet relay chat in communicating with their partner. Respondents reported disclosing about their family, financial matters, work experiences, and their feelings. CMICTs were viewed by the respondents as an aid in maintaining their relationship with their partner.

    Self-concept, social support, and subjective well-being of stay-at-home fathers from San Joaquin and Miagao, Iloilo
    Barreto, Ann Margarette; Sina-on, Arianne Krystelle (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study on stay-at-home fathers was undertaken due to role reversal brought about by female labor migration. Given that males have taken on relatively new roles as full time parent to their children due to the migration of their wives, changes on their self-concept, the social support that they received, and their levels of subjective well-being were investigated. Ten stay-at-home fathers from the towns of San Joaquin and Miag-ao in southern Iloilo served as participants of this qualitative study. The respondents’ ages range from 27-56 years old. All of the respondents have children, and their wives have been working abroad for not less than a year. The results of this study show that stay-at-home fathers have high levels of subjective well-being as a result of them having positive self-concept and available social support from friends, immediate family members, and relatives. The results of this study can serve as basis in establishing effective programs that will provide support for stay-at-home fathers.

    Organizing KALAHI-CIDSS communities in Bugasong, Antique: The experience of Barangay Bagtason and Barangay Igsoro
    Arnaiz, Elaine Grace P.; Rodeo, Jay Rose F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    This undergraduate research entitled “Organizing KALAHI-CIDSS Communities in Bugasong, Antique: The Experience of Barangay Bagtason and Barangay Igsoro” is a documentation and analysis of the Community- Driven Development (CDD) approach to community organizing in the implementation of KALAHI-CIDSS Project in Barangay Bagtason and Barangay Igsoro in the municipality of Bugasong. The community organizing process, in the KALAHI-CIDSS CDD context, refers to the Community Empowerment Activity Cycle (CEAC) which serves as the framework for KALAHI-CIDSS Project implementation. Primarily through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Key Informant Interview (KII), the researchers were able to describe the organizing process that has transpired during the course of KALAHI-CIDSS Project implementation in the two barangays along with the challenges that they encountered. The data gathered from F'GDs and KIIs were supplemented by the secondary data obtained from the KALAHI-CIDSS office in Bugasong such as Participatory Situational Analysis (PSA) results, barangay profiles and other relevant records. The data collected from various sources were triangulated to come up with valid discussions, lessons, recommendations and analysis. Consolidation and analysis of the data is guided by the framework of the study and the people-centered development principles espoused by Manalili and Batistiana and Murphy.

    The political dynamics behind the renovation of Felix Gorriceta Jr. Avenue connecting Pavia-Mandurriao and its effects on property holders and PUV operators association
    Albaladejo, Christine Kate; Laude, Jennifer (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study looks into the political dynamics behind the implementation of the policy renovating the Felix Gorriceta Jr. Avenue in Pavia, Iloilo and its effects on two end-users—property holders as represented by Parc Regency, and transportation sector represented by the Leon Jeepney Operators and Drivers’ Association (LEJODA). The interrelationships between various levels of the government in the conceptualization of the infrastructure project is examined. It describes conditions of the area where the road stretches prior to the renovation; identifies the reasons why the policy was pursued; and examines how the policy on renovation affected the end-users. Interviews as well as secondary data were utilized in the study. The initiatives and funding for the project came out of a broader plan to integrate the road to the Iloilo airport from the national government, and subsequently chosen by the provincial government of Iloilo relative to other sites. The local government of Pavia had little role to play in its conceptualization, except for the necessary measures for the full implementation of the said policy. The policy conferred benefits to both end-users.
