    Ethnic identity and self-esteem of Aetas in Cati-Cati community in Jordan, Guimaras
    Camit, Kristina L.; Javil, Jona G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2004-03)
    This study aimed to know the socio-demographic characteristics, ethnic identity, and self- esteem of Aetas in Cati - Cati community in Jordan, Guimaras. The study hypothesized that 1) Aetas have negative ethnic identity, 2) Aetas have high self-esteem, and 3) there is a direct relationship between the ethnic identity and self-esteem of the Aetas. Seventeen (17) males and forty-three (43) females were conveniently selected to participate in the study. They were the permanent residents of Sitio Cati - Cati in Barangay San Miguel, Jordan, Guimaras with ages ranging from sixteen (16) and above. Socio-demographic Questionnaire, Luhtanen and Crocker Ethnic Identity Scale, and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale were the instruments utilized in conducting the in-depth individual interviews. The data were analyzed and interpreted using the frequency, summation, and mean. Pearson r was used in computing for the correlation between the two variables. Results revealed that most of the respondents were female pure Aetas with ages varying twenty-five (25) to forty-five (45) years. Generally, Aetas scored high both in ethnic identity (79.57) and self-esteem (26.35) measures. This signified that education has refined the lifestyles of Aetas and has raised their perspectives towards themselves and their ethnic group. Despite achieving the social acceptance within the mainstream society, still some of the Aetas feel inevitably discriminated. Basically, because they are stereotyped to be similar with the mendicant Aetas found on the city streets. Therefore, the study concluded that majority of the Aetas have positive ethnic identity and high self-esteem. The Pearson r computations (r=0.262) implied that there exists a direct relationship between the ethnic identity and self-esteem of the Aetas in Cati - Cati community in Jordan, Guimaras.

    Camarista, Ruby Mae C.; Trias, Dawn Jessa T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2012-04)
    There are twenty-seven (27) wives of retired army personnel who lives at Barangay Igtuba, Miagao, Iloilo and twenty-six (26) were surveyed for this study. The research participants are not original residents of the barangay. Their family transferred because it is the privilege of army personnel to live inside Camp Monteclaro. The research participants are within the age range of 35 to 65 years old. Interview schedule, focus group discussion and key informant interview were used to gather data necessary for the study. It was found out that Philippine patriarchal system has minimal effect on gender relations in the lives of the wives of retired army personnel. There are household matters that are being decided by the wives such as household expenditure and disciplining their children. There is a higher number of wives who have access over available resources in the household and community compared to their husbands. The research participants shared information and experiences concerning gender relations in their households and rated their level of contentment in their children’s education, health, family income, and life as a whole.

    The politics of water conflict: Conflict resolution mechanisms of Barangay water and sanitation associations (BWSAs) in Santa Barbara, Iloilo
    Calves, John Mark C.; Labastida, Sean Clark Luinor A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)
    In an era of scarcity and volatile seasonality, water conflict is a pressing challenge. Among numerous Barangay Water and Sanitation Associations (BWSAs), which are unregulated community-based organizations providing domestic water, conflict resolution mechanisms are key components of how they govern. This research describes the water conflicts experienced, the conflict resolution and proactive mechanisms used in four rural communities. It explores the relationship of water system level with the types of conflicts and conflict management, and members’ attributes and their tendency to complain. It also probes the conflict resolution’s effect on member dynamics, BWSA rules and prevention of future conflicts. Four- BWSAs, two each for Levels I and III water system, were purposively selected in Santa Barbara, Iloilo. Three methods were used: organizational document analysis, key informant interviews with barangay captains and focus-group discussions with 9- 10 members, in which male-female ratio is equal in most cases. The results show that water conflicts are more evident in Level III than in Level I water system, with water scarcity as a common problem. Conflicts are settled informally (e.g. community dialogues) in Level I while formally (e.g. barangay assembly, council sessions) in Level III. Overall, the respondents reported satisfaction on the effects of conflict management.

    OFW fathers and their children residential status, perceived paternal involvement and relationship satisfaction
    Calasin, Joellie Marie D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-04)
    This study analyzed the connection between a father's residential status, child's perceived paternal involvement, and father-child relationship satisfaction, A survey was conducted among 177 students aged 16 to 21 years old from three universities in Iloilo. The findings show that the residential status of the father does not affect the child's perceived paternal involvement. Due to this, the relationship satisfaction of the two groups of children was almost the same with one another despite their father's residential status. It was found that higher paternal involvement entails higher father-child relationship satisfaction. Regression analyses show that instrumental involvement does not predict satisfaction. For children with resident fathers, mentoring/ advising involvement predict a better father-child relationship satisfaction. For children of OFW fathers, expressive and mentoring/ advising involvements predict satisfaction.

    Cajada, Dylene C.; Larroza, Rochelle Fae L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)
    The study was conducted to find out the relationship among marital satisfaction and level of stress, as well as the marital decision making of military spouses. Thirty military spouses’ ages 22-65 yeas old with at least 1 child, married for at least 1 year and whose husband were currently deployed or has been deployed at the time of the study participated. Three instruments were utilized namely: Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999), Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) by Home and Rahe (1967), and Family Decision Making Scale by Erispe and Mestidio (2007). Results showed that military spouses have high marital satisfaction, high level of stress, and both spouses decide on family decision making. There is a low negative correlation between marital satisfaction and level of stress at -.067 (a=0.05 level of significance) which means that stress does not correspondingly affect the level of marital satisfaction among military spouses.

    Cabungcal, Kristine Marie C.; Cebrian, Veah Marie P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    This study described the sexual identity, coming out, and romantic relationships among self-confessed college tomboys and lesbians. Eight respondents (6 tomboys; 2 lesbians) participated in this study. The tomboys were found to assume more of a masculine role, while lesbians the feminine role. Questionnaires were utilized to describe gender identity and coming out. Also, two Likert types of scales by John Mohr that is Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Identity Scale and Outness Inventory were used. One-one-one interview with the respondents was also conducted to further substantiate what it is being a tomboy or n.lesbian. Results showed that a greater number of respondents (50%) had experienced sexual identity confusion during their elementary years. The same percentage of respondents also reported that it was at the age of 15 that they first realized that they were homosexuals. All of the respondents are clear of their sexual identity and have fully accepted themselves. The respondents were open to their friends. While open to their friends, they remain to be closeted at home due to the stigma that is attached by their family members to tomboys and lesbians.
