    Project EDI WAM!: Everybody Do It: War Against Malnutrition in Brgy. Roma, San Joaquin, Iloilo
    Balogo, Philip G.; Bomediano, Maria Jonnah R.; Esparagoza, Marevi T.; Gallo, Czareena Anne; Mallari , Maria Katerina; Murillo, Gilbert Guy D.; Ortono, Jevi Marie P.; Oteda, Kristine Joy D.; Pameroyan, Nesly Joy G.; Radones, Charmaine Mae Keyien G.; Santocildes, Camille S.; Tirador, Anna Katharina L. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)
    The Millenium Development Goals for the Philippines by 2015 is to reduce the underweight-by-age prevalence to 17.2% among 0-5 years old children. So far in 2013, the prevalence decreased from 20.7% in 2003 to 19.9%. Western Visayas ranks second (26.0%) in the most malnourished regions in the country, with trends increasing in Iloilo from 25.1% in 2008 to 27.4% in 2013. According to the National Nutrition Council, this small change in number for the past 10 years makes it unlikely that the country will achieve its MDG. Project EDI WAM! Every body Do It: War Against Malnutrition in Barangay Roma, San Joaquin, Iloilo aims to decrease the prevalence of malnutrition by 70% among children aged 24 to 72 months. Operation Timbang showed that out of the 42 children, 11 were identified as malnourished, giving a prevalence of 26.19%. Project EDI WAM! aims to decrease the number of undernourished children through health education, feeding, and supplementation programs. A functional core group of 9 members was formed and was later transformed into a Barangay Health Board. Cooking lessons dubbed Pinoy Mother Chef improved the mothers' food preparation practices and behavior. Hygiene and Sanitation increased by 36.60%, while proper meal planning increased by 24.83%. Ready-to-Use therapeutic food (RUTF) was prepared and supplemented to the children. Knowledge of mothers on health and nutrition also increased by 35.54%. Out of the 11 malnourished children, 4 were turned to normal, giving a decrease of 36.36%. The 70% goals was not achieved and may be attributed to the short period of time that the project was implemented. However there is a significant increase in weight among all the recipients (2.79% ) and malnourished (4.92%). A Mothers’ Association was established to continue the project advocacy, making the cooking and feeding program an annual event.

    Porntrepreneur: A phenomenological study on the narratives of women towards pornography as a source of income in San Jose De Buenavista, Antique
    Aquino, Carla Faith M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)
    Pornography as a business industry in the Philippines persists despite legal restrictions. This research maps the narratives of select Catholic women and gender advocates in San Jose de Buenavista, Antique towards pornography as a phenomenon and as a source of income. Various themes are explored around their views of sex work as work, and their perception towards government policies and gaps in addressing issues on pornography. The study utilized data from two separate Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with eight (8) of women who are members of Lay Organization Movement Association (LOMAS) and Marian Movement Organizations (MaMOs), five (5) gender advocates, three (3) of whom are government workers, and two (2) NGO representatives, and sexual violence-related national legislations. The Moustakas transcendental phenomenology framework was employed and data were analyzed through the lenses of the conservative and feminist theories. Results revealed that women view pornography as exploitative yet bounded by moral dimensions. As an industry, it is easily accessible to the public, a business involving money, profit, and income. Catholic women argue that pornography should be exclusive only for married couples but should be restricted from children, while gender advocates do not want to restrict everything but are concerned about women’s rights. The women articulate that the driving forces leading people to engage themselves in such work are poverty and survival.

    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 4ps in Anini-y, Antique: It's implementation and effects in upland community
    Arbolado, Essa Mae S.; Factuar, Renz Phylis G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    This study discusses and analyzes the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), its implementation, and its effects on beneficiaries’ access to basic services (education and health) and economic well-being. A total of 57 4Ps beneficiaries were surveyed, in three barangays in Anino-y, Antique. Survey data were supplemented with key informant interviews and secondary data review. The study shows that the 4Ps enhanced beneficiaries’ access to education and health services. This is manifested by consistent data on school participation and promotion rate of student beneficiaries and by children’s regular visit to health centers to monitor their health conditions. The same can be said for pregnant mothers who benefited from the program. The program was also deemed responsible for improving household conditions of beneficiaries, particularly in terms of enhanced purchasing power as testimonies by the respondents say that they now have the money to purchase basic needs which is food. The 4Ps provide direct benefits to beneficiaries but the process of implementation could have been improved by way of establishing objective and clearer targeting criteria, non-politicization of the process of selection and improving systems for monitoring to ensure compliance to conditionalities. The study suggests the infusion of community-based and participatory principles into the program to enhance local accountability and compliance.
