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 Politics in rice producing irrigated area in Northeastern Iloilo (Barotac Nuevo-Pototan Area)Bajade, Ian Louie V.; Macaldo, Felipe E., Jr. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-04)This research project is an exploratory study which determines the power relations among individuals, groups, groupings and entities involved in rice production process in the rice producing irrigated area of Northeastern Iloilo. This study was conducted in the Barangays of Tabucan and Cabilauan of Barotac Nuevo and Tuburan and Tomcon Ilaud of Pototan using interviews with respondents and selected key informants and secondary data taken from the records of the Municipal Agrarian Reform Office, local government units, Philippine National Police blotter and farmers' organization of the locale of the study as sources of information of this research project. It was found out that: (1) there is a three level class structure in the locale of the study; (2) the three level class structure leads to a corresponding three level power relations among individuals inside the realm of rice production process; (3) the tenurial arrangements solely determines the distribution of productivity among individuals and entities involve in rice production and (4) the tenants are biggest class of exploiters in the production process brought about by the widespread practice of sub- tenurial arrangement-pamorsyento which makes the tenants "ersatz landlord" and exploiters of the nagapamorsyento-farm laborer. Tracing the flow of politics in rice producing irrigated area, it was found that the tenurial arrangement gives shape to the power relations in the locale of the study.Item Oplan BAYANIHAN : kaBAYAN, Inodoro, iHandog sa mga Aeta Nating kababayanBalino, Beverly B.; Casidsid, Luzel Mytchz C.; De Pedro, Jobel D.; Dela Victoria, Jaysun D.; Garzon, Evita Flor L.; Heredia, Angelica Katrina A.; Jaranilla, Femm Dominique P.; Longno, Kathleen Joyce B.; Parreño, Karla B.; Yso, April Rose S. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-03)Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are caused by parasitic worms or helminths that are transmitted to people through contaminated soil. The main species are the roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), the whipworm (Trichuris trichiura) and the hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale). It is more prevalent among children living in conditions of poor sanitation particularly in indigenous people (IP) groups in the Philippines. OPLAN BAYANIHAN (kaBAYAN, Inodoro iHandog sa mga Aeta Nating Kababayan) primarily aimed to decrease the prevalence of soil- transmitted helminthiasis (STH) among the Aeta children of Purok V, Barangay San Nicolas, Buenavista, Guimaras. A responsible and functional core group was organized to assist in the implementation and monitoring of the projects. A stool examination was conducted prior to the construction of toilet facilities and results showed that all 30 Aeta children tested were positive for STH. The post stool examination was not performed due to the strict compliance of the Municipal Health Office to their biannual mass de worming schedule, but it will be performed after the mass deworming in Sitio Serum Bukid on April 3, 2O14.The knowledge and awareness regarding soil-transmitted helminthiasis increased by 30% or more through interactive lectures on how to prevent and control STH and on the proper usage of personal protective equipment (PPE). The knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of the Aetas regarding proper hygiene increased by 30% or more through interactive lectures and trainings on hand washing, tooth brushing, and grooming. Flyers were distributed among Aeta parents and storybooks were handed over to the Day Care Center of Sitio Serum Bukid, and Kindergarten and Elementary teachers of San Nicolas Primary School. Nine toilet facilities were constructed and the installation of a clean and potable water source is underway.Item Utang na loob: The Ilonggo experienceBaldo, Jezzebelle T.; Quirante, Rachel Joy A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)This study aimed to investigate the construct of utang na loob from the Ilonggo perspective and to distinguish the Filipino concept of utang na loob from Trivers’ model of reciprocal altruism. This research is an exploratory study which made use of focus group discussion for data collection. The data was analyzed using category pattern analysis. Based on the results, utang na loob in the Ilonggo perspective is utang na kabalaslan. Its process is parallel but not equivalent to utang na loob in the Kapwa perspective and partly in reciprocal altruism. However, differences lie in the concept, construct, dimensions and repayment. Also, utang na loob in Kapwa differs with reciprocal altruism in terms of reason for helping, repayment and extent of the process.Item The current profile and situation of Iloilo provincial media practitioners in AM radio stationAvelino, Sharon Faith; Lego, Lily Ann; Sotelo, Sherbet Dee (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2004-10)This study aims to know the current profile and situation of Iloilo provincial media practitioners in AM radio stations.

Stories of PUJ drivers in Iloilo City during the COVID-19 pandemicAvelino, Kiara Marie B.; Felix, Ma. Ysabelle M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-06)This qualitative study focused on the narratives of Public Utility Jeepney (PUJ) drivers who operated within Iloilo City' before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven (7) PUJ drivers who have at least five (5) years of experience as a PUJ driver and consider driving PUJs as their main source of income during the COVID-19 pandemic were recruited from different Jeepney Owners and Drivers’ Associations (JODRAs) in Iloilo City. An in-depth semi-structured interview was conducted with the PUJ drivers and two key informants. Open-ended questions were used which were then recorded and transcribed verbatim. The narratives of the PUJ drivers were analyzed using Narrative Thematic Analysis. The results of this study provided insights into the experiences of PUJ drivers, including the challenges they faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, their coping strategies, and the lessons learned from these experiences. The drivers encountered various challenges, such as financial hardship, physical and mental health concerns, and uncertainty about the future. To cope with the stress, they employed diverse strategies, such as seeking support from their networks, relying on religion and spirituality, distracting themselves, embracing their reality, and in some cases, denying the existence of the pandemic. The significance of social support, financial preparedness, awareness, and readiness for future crises was also emphasized. With these findings, the recommendations include access to healthcare and well-being, economic support and financial resilience, social support networks, comparative studies, and further research on the long-term impacts of COVID-19.Item Syncretization of modern and indigenous health knowledge and practices of the Tumandoks of Barangay Igpaho, Tubungan, Iloilo and its implications to community healthAusmolo, Carlyn Grace P.; Magluyan, Jan Andrew T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)Indigenous peoples (IP) in the Philippines are identified as among the poor and marginalized sectors. Health and nutrition problems continue to persist in their communities due to lack or absence of access to good healthcare systems caused by their disenfranchised situation. Literatures that discuss the health practices of IP groups in the Philippines, particularly in Panay Island, are limited and less popular. As an attempt to enrich the existing literatures on IP life, this study explored the indigenous and modern health systems and practices, including their syncretic characteristics that could draw out implications for community health of die Tumandoks of Barangay Igpaho, Tubungan, Iloilo. Case study analysis and methods were employed in this study which included key-informant interview and focus-group discussion. Nine community healers and tliree Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) were interviewed while eight Tumandoks participated in the FGD. This study documented four indigenous health practices: panghdof, pag-ubra, panghanggab, and pamulong herbal. The Tumandoks ’ knowledge on phytotherapy and the oral narrative of Tanyong Mangdaw were also noted in the study. The modern health practices identified were taking of medicine, going to a physician, getting vaccines, and accessing other health services at the MLGU. The identified syncretic characteristics implied that the lack of modern healthcare services in the community contributes to the endurance of indigenous health practices and knowledge of the Tumandoks of Igpaho. However, this also has detrimental effects to community health such as the prevalence of malnutrition and teenage pregnancy.Item An institutional analysis of Sibalom Natural Park-Protected Area Management Board on community-based ecotourism in Sibalom, AntiqueAtienza, Perlyn F.; Pingoy, Whelannie Y. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)This is an exploratory and evaluative study aimed to conduct an institutional analysis of the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), specifically, in the management of Sibalom Natural Park (SNP) in Sibalom, Antique. Seventeen (17) representatives from the three (3) member-institutions of PAMB and two (2) People’s Organizations (POs) were chosen through purposive interview as respondents. Focused group discussion (FGD) and key informant interview (KII) were utilized to gather necessary data. KII used a structured interview. Secondary data from the different member-institutions of PAMB were also sources of essential information needed in the study. The performance of PAMB in managing the SNP was analyzed based on the four components of management. These four components were delegations of functions, utilization of financial resources, conflict management, and leadership and mandates. It was found out that the SNP-PAMB members’ responsibilities were not clearly defined and there was no strict delineation of each of the member-institutions’ roles and functions. Since the organization does not have enough funds to sustain its existing projects and to initiate new ones, projects and activities were financed through the individual efforts of the members. Though there is lack of coordination among members, they do not consider it as conflict. Factors such as unstable financial status, limited activities, lack of a clear institutional structure hinder the implementation of the existing mandates for the operations of PAMB.Item Marital satisfaction, gender equity, and marital conflict among selected elderly couples in Guimbal, IloiloAsorio, Shiela Mae S.; Pradilla, Lea Angela S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)The study was conducted to find out the relationship among marital satisfaction, gender equity, and marital conflict among old married couples, as well as their pattern of conflict resolution. Nineteen (19) elderly couples from Guimbal, Iloilo married for at least 25 years and living with their families at the time of the study participated. The instruments used were the shortened version of the Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999), the Gender Equity on Household Labor Scale, and the Conflict Resolution Questionnaire. Results show that marital satisfaction and marital conflict have a significant negative correlation at -0.460 [a=0.01 level of significance (2-tailed test)]. However, there was no correlation between marital satisfaction and gender equity at -0.214 and gender equity and marital conflict at 0.252 [a=0.01 level of significance (2-tailed test)]. The mean score (19.29) on the shortened version of the Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999) indicates that the respondents have a high level of marital satisfaction. There was also a significant gender difference in the distribution of household labor as perceived by the males and the females with to=-16.36 (tc=<-2.042 or >2.042). Lastly, with regards conflict resolution, majority of the respondents use the compromise style. The outcomes of the study support previous studies which state that elderly marriages experience high level of marital satisfaction and less marital conflict.Item Life after loss: A phenomenological study of adolescents who lost a parentBahague, April Dawn G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)The aim of this phenomenological study was to achieve deeper and broader understanding on the lived experiences of adolescents who lost a parent. Interviews were conducted with six participants, ages 17-19 years old using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The tape- recorded interviews with the adolescent participants were analysed using IPA. The data identified three general themes that reveal the adolescents’ lived experiences: experiencing changes in family pattern, changes in relationship with other people and changes in one’s inner. Findings of the study indicated that the adolescents’ relationship with other family members, relatives and friends or peers provided them with social, emotional and financial support at the time they needed it the most. However, the relationship with this same set of people also caused conflict and other negatively-themed experiences.
