    The meaning of beauty: A semiotic analysis of a beauty product advertisement and its interpretation by young female professionals
    Alcala, Zharina Ayn T.; Gamayao, April P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study explored on how a beauty product advertisement communicates the concept of beauty and how it can affect the consumption of the said product among young female professionals. By using semiotic analysis, the researchers identified the signs and codes that communicate what is beautiful and its possible effects on the pre-existing concept of beauty. The Focused Group Discussions among 17 participants from Iloilo City revealed that the concept of beauty of the participants is not only defined physically but also holistically. However, the participants deemed physical beauty important. Though the participants identified the signs and codes of related to beauty in the advertisement, these did not affect their concept of beauty and their consumption of the said product. The quality, affordability and credibility of the beauty products were the factors they considered in patronizing the products and not necessarily because of the advertisement.

    A critical review of UPV-based Coastal Resource Management (CRM) studies
    Agris, Charmaine Joy F. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-08)
    This undergraduate research project is a critical review of UPV-Based Coastal Resource Management (CRM) studies from four significantly diversesources covering a total of fifty two (52) CRM studies.This research aims to identify and to critically analyze the collection of undergraduate projects of Political Science and Economics students of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas, select articles from Danyag: Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences articles, unpublished studies deposited in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension (OVCRE) and the December 2006 Culture and Resource Management issue of Palayag of the Center for West Visayan Studies. The studies were distributed into different categories and subcategories to ensure that they are divided into mutually exclusive and independent groups and so as to avoid overlapping of data. Employing the system of categorization, this critical review analyzes the range of themes and topics tackled in the studies and is intended to determine the development of research methodology, theoretical and conceptual framework, and findings of the studies included in all the categories. The four major categories are: (a) Studies on Decentralized Management, (b) Studies on Natural Resource Governance, (c) Social Dynamics in Coastal Resource Management, and (d) Human Dimensions in Coastal Resource Management. The extensive listings of coastal resource management studies revealed that country’s CRM practices are rooted on participation, collaboration and is geared towards sustainability. A holistic coastal resource management practice should be modeled on the synthesis drawnfrom the knowledge, skills and past experiences from both governmental and local efforts to the management of coastal resources.

    Ang pangayaw sa dutang ginsaad: A study of Ilonggo migration and settlement in Tacurong, Cotabato, 1951-1960's
    Bernardo, Arellano M., III (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)
    “Ang Pagpangayaw sa Dutang Ginsaad: A Study of Migration and Settlement of Ilonggos in Tacurong, Cotabato (1951-1960’s)” discusses about the migration of the Ilonggos to Mindanao, particularly in a predominant Christian City of Tacurong. In the 1950’s all the way towards 1970’s, there was a massive migration of Ilonggos going to Mindanao. Most of them were attracted due to the flow of information coming from “The Land of Promise” in which they believed that they can avail any jobs and lands in an untapped island. This changed the social, economic, political and demographic profile of Mindanao and marked events that would shape the Philippine history. Triggered by social unrest, overcrowding problems, protectionist policies, economic interests and assimilation by the American colonial government, land settlements were opened to the Christian settlers of Luzon and the Visayas. It therefore, initiated government-sponsored programs of resettlement in Mindanao. However, that proved to be unattractive to early prospectors. Efforts were improved later by the Commonwealth era where a good number of Ilonggos went there first. The old city and province were already experiencing deterioration after the sugar industry shifted to Negros Occidental and slow recovery after World War II due to endless politics, peace and order situation and unemployment. These pushed the Ilonggos to move south as they were attracted to the propaganda of the new Philippine government to develop and people Mindanao. Majority of the Christian migrants were not involved in the government- sponsored programs but because of the government propaganda of the “Land of Promise” and free and continuous flow of information that came from early Christian settlers in Mindanao, it became attractive to the peoples of Luzon and Visayas and therefore massive migration occurred in the 50’s all the way through the seventies. Along with their migration was their settlement in which they established their new lives, therefore adjusting themselves with the new environment yet culture was brought out from the heartland and was mixed with other cultures, creating a unique cosmopolitan way of life for most of the Mindanao towns and cities. For every Ilonggo pangayaw, one was seeking satisfaction from the efforts they made by coming down south. It was relative yet most of them stated that their lives improved in Mindanao.
