Item Economic analysis of rice farming under differential tenurial arrangements in Sibalom, AntiqueBasañes, Lorvi Ann A.; Rondrique, Clyde G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1997-03)This study was undertaken in order to acquire informations about the effects of tenurial arrangments on the productivity and profitability of rice farms in Sibalom, Antique, from the operators view point. The study found out that the practices of rice farms did not essentially vary among farms of different tenure arrangements, though some slight differences had been discovered. Furthermore, it was also discovered that tenurial arrangement greatly affected the distribution of gains from farming. Though share-tenanted farms proved to be the most profitable from the operators point of view, the conpensation that the operators received were quite inadequate to compensate the cost in using owned inputs. Moreover, other tenurial arrangements, leasehold and owner-operated, revealed to be less profitable than the one mentioned earlier. In terms of its effect on productivity, tenurial arrangements were found to explain an insignificant variation in the farms output. The study concluded that tenurial arrangements did really have a significant effect on productivity and the production practices of rice farmers, though in the profitability side, it proved to be otherwise. Of the problems presented, the emergence of rats and the golden kuhol pestilence in the rice fields were pointed out as the primary reasons for the decline in the productivity of rice farms in Sibalom, Antique. Aside from the propagation of government support programs and the transformation and empowerment of rice farmer cooperatives, the study also recommended that a closer look on share-tenancy must be done by the goverment so as to eliminate its equity undesirability, instead of outlawing the said tenurial arrangement which proved, in this study, to be the most efficient tenurial arrangement in rice farming.Item Sources of stress, coping strategies and social support among seafarers of Leon, IloiloBatin, Hazel C.; Torilla, Hanna Mae C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)The study sought to determine the sources of stress, coping strategies, and sources of social support of seafarers while they are on board. Twenty-three (23) male seafarers served as respondents, they were chosen using the convenience sampling. Questionnaires were utilized to study the variables under investigation. Results showed that seafarers faced problems on board related to their work, emotions, family and their work environmental adjustment. When it comes to managing stress on board, respondents used emotion-focused coping rather than problem-focused. They revealed that they received support from their friends and significant others, but their families were their primary social support.Item Homosexual organization networking strategies and abilities in a participatory democracy: A case study of butterfly brigade's advocacy campaign on STI/RTI HIV/AIDS prevention in Aklan provinceBarluado, Bonifar A., Jr. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)This is a study about Butterfly Brigade, a homosexual organization in Aklan Province.

Conservative institutions like the Catholic Church have opposed Butterfly Brigade activity.Item The economics of loom weaving industry in Miag-ao, IloiloBalindua, Trini Rose Philippe N.; Fuentespina, Pierra M. (2004-03)The study determined and analyzed the economic profitability of the loom weaving industry in Miag-ao, Iloilo. Specifically, the study described the socio-demographic profile of owners and laborers, determined the economic profitability, the cost and returns, the contractual arrangement between the owners and laborers, and identified the problems encountered in the industry The primary data were mainly gathered from 5 owners and 2 cooperative chairpersons, and 35 weavers who comprised the study population. The respondents came from the different barangays of Banbanan, Bugtong Naulid, Bulucaue, Dawog, Guibongan and Indag-an of the town of Miagao, Iloilo where loom weaving firms are situated and weavers are concentrated. Employing the cost and return analysis, results showed that loom weaving industry earned positive economic profit. Gross profit amounted to PhP 9,079.83 and financial profit of PhP 8,738.67. The payback period is 4.04 months. Return to the laborer is valued at PhP 5,431.35, and returns to the owner is PhP 7,736.46. The problems encountered in the loom weaving industry were the cheap compensation of laborers, health problems, old age and poor eye sight, the delay on the provision of materials by the owners to their laborers, lack of buyers during lean season, and the improbability of the return of finished products by the laborers and the loss of interest of the younger generation in the industry.Item Comparative rural income distribution analysis for Brgy. Punong, Passi City and Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan, 1997Balane, Walter I.; Montemor, Ma. Reina G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-03)This study was conducted in Brgy. Punong, Passi City and Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan. There were twenty four (24) respondents from Brgy. Punong, Passi City and fourty one (41) from Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan. The analytical tools include the Income Decile, Gini-Coefficient and the Lorenz Curve. It was found out that income earners belonging to deciles in Brgy. Punong, Passi City earn only 24.55% of the total annual household income earned for Brgy. Punong. While the upper deciles (6-10) earn 75.45% of the said income. On the other hand, the income earners belonging to deciles 1-5 in Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan earns 29.93% of the total annual household income earned for Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan. While the upper deciles earn 70.07% of the said income. It was observed that the income earners in the 10th decile earns 1,200% more than the income earners in the first decile in Brgy. Punong, Passi City. On the other hand, the income earners in the 10th decile earns 506% greater than the income earners in the 1st decile income earners in Region VI and Philippines earns 2.2% and 1.7% respectively. In Brgy. Punong, Passi City and Tubod, Binagawan they earn 2.3% and 4.5% of the total annual household income. The bigger percentage share the income earned by 1st decile income earners in Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan is indicative of the barangays' greater advantage vis-a-vis income distribution equality compared to that of Brgy. Punong, Passi City. It was found out that Passi City is Iloilo's highest income earner municipality. The income distribution in Brgy. Punong Grande, Passi City does not however show that high municipality income assures income equality distribution. The Gini-Coefficient ratios further justifies the indirect relationship of high municipal income earned and and income distribution equality. The Gini-ratio of Brgy. Punong, Passi City is 0.3694 while that of Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan is 0.3313. Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan's estimate indicates a greater income distribution equality compared to that of Brgy. Punong, Passi City. Consequently, in the plotting of the Lorenz Curve, the curve for Brgy. Punong, Passi City is farther form the line of perfect equality compared to the one of Brgy. Tubod, Bingawan. The Gini-ratios of the Philippines and Western Visayas in 1997 were 0.4960 and 0.4414 respectively, which are relatively higher than the estimates of the two barangays. This is believed to be caused by sectoral homogeneity, which propose the concept that in areas where there is lack of mobility in the primary source of income, households heads are given less choice to move to another sector. Since both barangays are categorized as rural, although they differ in their extent of dependence to agriculture, the populace were deprived of the choices prided to those in urban areas. Thus, there is poor variety as to sources of income, household head and therefore income itself. Using the logarithmic transformed multiple regression, the following factors were found to be affecting significantly, the distribution of annual household income in Brgy. Punong, Passi City, the number of nonhousehold member contributors (NHM) and the primary sources of income from proffesional work (PSY-PROF). For Brgy. Tubod,Bingawan, three variables resulted to be significant in affecting household income distribution namely; the number of non-household member contributor (NHM), primary sources of income from contributors (PSY-COMP) and highest educational attainment- college level (EDUC-CD). Based on the results particularly on the decile income differentials and factors affecting income differentials, it is recommended that both national and local government should give focus on economic development and not only on economic growth so that vital problems will be addressed. It is important that the government will focus on its Poverty Eradication Program on the welfare of the smallest of the Philippine barangays. It is due time to initiate and maintain community based development projects and other barangay support system to empower the building blocks of the Philippine societyItem Realignment of roles, attachment styles in family relationships and reassessment of values of overseas Filipino worker returnees in Tigbauan, IloiloBacero, Mon Ritchie Y.; Benosa, Aaron Alden O.

(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2000-03)This study aimed to identify the relationship that exists between students' conceptions of learning and their learning styles, teachers' conceptions of teaching and their teaching styles and students' learning styles and teachers' teaching styles. Respondents of the study were three (3) Communication 11 teachers, three (3) Mathematics 14 teachers and twenty of their respective students. It was conducted last February 7 to 18, 2000, AY 1999-2000 at the CAS Bldg. using a survey. There were two sets of questionnaire, one for the students and one for the teachers. The first set included the Conceptions of Learning Questionnaire and the Learning Style Inventory using a five-point scale and the second set included the Conceptions of Teaching Questionnaire and the Teaching Style Inventory. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the relationship that exists between students' conceptions of learning and their learning styles and the students' learning styles and their teachers' teaching styles. While the Spearman Rank-Order Correlation was used to determine the relationship that exists between teachers' conceptions of teaching and their teaching styles. Results of the study indicated that there is a positive relationship between students' conception of teaching as a complex process and their teaching style of an expert. The study also showed that there is a positive relationship between students' conceptions of learning as increasing one's knowledge and their active experimentation learning style. There is also a positive relationship between teachers' expert teaching style and their students' active experimentation learning style. It is recommended that future researchers would look into other different learning styles and teaching styles that match, which will result to an improved learning environment and a higher academic achievement.
