Item One-sided feelings: The relationship between some socioemotional factors and parasocial relationship in emerging adultsCanabal, Gellyn D.; Galindez, Sarah Francine G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)The present study examined the relationships between the engagement in parasocial relationships and some socio-emotional factors, including attachment anxiety, need to belong, loneliness, and close relationship satisfaction in emerging adults. A descriptive correlational design with two comparison groups was employed. There were forty respondents (N=40) who were assigned to one of the two groups: with PSR (WPSR; n=20) and with no PSR (WNPSR; n=20). The data were gathered online through Google Forms. The results were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank correlational statistics. The study found that there were no significant correlations between the four (4) socio-emotional factors and parasocial relationships. The findings did not support the expected relationships between the said variables. The study suggests a need to clarify the relationships by investigating the causality of socio-emotional factors to parasocial relationships.Item The effects of the Gawad Kalinga Resettlement program to the general self-efficacy, task orientation and functional social contacts of the schooled adolescents in Gawad Kalinga Villages in Iloilo CityCaminos, Ann Marie P.; Deveza, Ma. Catalina G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)There had been a lot of studies conducted about the Gawad Kalinga (GK) adult residents. This descriptive study will venture on the schooled adolescents (13-19 yrs. old) in the two (2) GK sites, the Sooc, Manduriao Village and the Buntatala, Jaro Village, specifically about their General Self-Efficacy(GSE), Task-orientation and Functional Social Contacts (FSC). General Self-efficacy Test by Schwarzer (2009) and FGD questionnaires are the materials used in this study. There were 47 schooled adolescents. Each GK site was divided into 2 groups (highest and lowest GSE) with 5 participants for each FGD session. It is found that GK program helped the respondents in terms of their adaptation in their new environment. However, the program does not affect their task-orientation because it is mainly influenced by their families. The program does not also serve as a direct functional social contact because of the type of social network they seek in times of problem.Item The wives or retired army personnel in Barangay Igtuba, Miagao, Iloilo: A preliminary study on gender relationsCamarista, 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.Item The impact of government interventions during COVID-19 pandemic on agriculture: the case of supply chain resiliency of organic farming in Iloilo ProvinceCamisora, James B.; Garino, Winston L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2024-07)The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in global food systems and prompted a focus on resilient supply chains. Organic agriculture, with its emphasis on local production and sustainable practices, offers an alternative model that might be less susceptible to disruptions. However, the pandemic also presented unique challenges for organic farmers and their supply chains. This study investigated the impact of government interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic on the resilience of the organic agriculture supply chain in Iloilo Province. The research employed an exploratory research design and utilized qualitative methods for data collection and analysis. It mapped out policies related to organic agriculture and its supply chain through data from interview with smallholder farmers and personnels from Department of Agriculture Regional Office 6 and various Municipal Agriculture Offices. The findings revealed that the Department of Agriculture (DA) and local governments provide support programs for smallholder organic farmers. The DA Regional Office focuses on broader regional program implementation, while local governments provide more direct support based on local needs. Farmer organizations play a crucial role in linking farmers to government support programs and in providing a marketing network for smallholder farmers. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vulnerability of the existing organic vegetable supply chain, but both government and farmers adapted their interventions and strategies. After the pandemic, the government shifted its support towards PGS certification and local governments took a larger role in providing marketing support and promotion.Item The politics of water conflict: Conflict resolution mechanisms of Barangay water and sanitation associations (BWSAs) in Santa Barbara, IloiloCalves, 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.Item Pag-aalaga ng taga-alaga: lived experiences of care among live-in internal migrant domestic workersCalubag, Francis Dane B.; Subong, Diana Jan D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2024-06)Internal migration among domestic workers have become increasingly common among the Filipino population. Understanding their lived experiences allows for a richer understanding of how they navigate their roles in providing care for both their charge(s) and their own spatially-distant children. This study aimed to contribute to the existing literature by utilizing a hermeneutic phenomenological lens to explore the lived experiences of care among Filipino yayas. Data were gathered from six respondents using semi-structured interviews. A significant finding revealed that the yayas’ experience of care are intertwined with maintaining relationships with key individuals in their care work. These include their charge(s), the charge(s)’ parents, their children, and their children’s guardians. Trust is crucial in sustaining these relationships and creating a nurturing environment for care recipients. Being employed as caregivers towards children not their own. the yayas provided professional childcare. They employ strategic approaches in professional care such as establishing strong emotional bonds, spending quality time one-on-one, and using negotiation tactics to gain the charges’ trust. For their own children, they fostered independence and maintained constant communication despite physical separation. Care experiences highlighted the intricacies of paid domestic work, transcending commodification narratives through emotional attachments formed with the charge(s) that they care for. The study also sheds light on the complexities of care work and advocates for better employment policies that support internal migrant domestic workers. Specifically, this can lead to more targeted interventions to address the unique challenges the Yayas' face in their caregiving roles.Item Factors that promote or impede community participation in implementing KALAHI-CIDSS in selected communities of Sibunag, GuimarasCalsado, Darlene Joy D.; Rapiz, Peter Glenn A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)This study seeks to present the context of KALAHI-CIDSS in Sibunag, Guimaras; identify and describe the different venues for community participation; and, identify and analyze the factors that promote or impede community participation. The study utilizes various methods such as survey, Focus Group Discussion, Key Informant Interviews and review of secondary data. The survey involves one hundred eighty six (186) respondents (community members) ages 20-60 of Barangay Ayangan and Barangay Maabay of the Municipality of Sibunag, Guimaras who were selected through convenience sampling. Results show that the community participated in all activities of the Community Empowerment Activity Cycle of the KALAHI-CIDSS Project. The communities’ experience also show that the social forces are the strongest factors that promote and impede community participation. Insights and recommendations for the improvement of community participation in the on-going implementation of the KALAHI-CIDSS Project in the two barangays are also presented.Item OFW fathers and their children residential status, perceived paternal involvement and relationship satisfactionCalasin, 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.Item Five-factor model of personality and job satisfaction on organizational commitment of bank employeesCaigoy, Denise C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)This is a descriptive-correlational study aimed to determine and explore the relationship of personality traits, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment of bank employees in Iloilo City Proper. One hundred ten (110) bank employees aging 20-59 years old were selected through a convenience sampling. The instruments used were Big Five Inventory, Porter’s Job Satisfaction Survey, and Allen and Meyer's Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation and Regression. Analysis showed that there is significant relationship between personality traits particularly of extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism and job satisfaction. Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability (neuroticism) can predict affective commitment. Extraversion can develop continuance commitment. Agreeableness and Openness to experience can predict normative commitment. It was also found that job satisfaction was an antecedent of organizational commitment.Item Marital satisfaction, level of stress and marital decision making of military spousesCajada, 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.
