(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.

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.Item Ilonggo's perception on the use of Hiligaynon on FM radioCabral, Janielle Ann; Lilia, Jun Alden P. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03-28)This study was conducted to determine the perception of Ilonggos on the use of Hiligaynon on FM radio. The results are aimed at helping program managers to understand both the advantages and disadvantages of using Hiligaynon as medium of communication on FM radio. Purposive sampling is used to select 89 respondents, coming from any of the six districts in Iloilo city. A self-administered questionnaire is designed to gather data from the respondents aged 16 to 70. In this study, most of the respondents are female and most have achieved college education. The research findings indicate that almost all of the respondents’ prefer to listen to Love radio than any other FM stations in Iloilo city. Almost all of the respondents are native Hiligaynon speakers. Most of the respondents have been listening to radio everyday for more than three years. Entertainment is their major reason for listening to FM radio. Hiligaynon is also the main and often used language of the stations they listen to. Despite their low knowledge on the existence of an FM station that uses English as its medium of communication, the respondents say they will still listen if English would be the main language of FM radio. The common reason for liking the Hiligaynon as medium of communication on radio is simply because it is their native language, it is easy for them to understand the messages and it is more entertaining to them. The researchers find a need to study more about how Hiligaynon as medium of communication on FM radio is used in terms of its content, and how the talents communicate using the local language. Future research should focus more on the psychographic background of the respondents. Also, similar studies should be conducted to determine if there are any positive or negative effects or influences on the use of Hiligaynon on FM radio.Item The effect of perceiver's gender and masculinity on male masculinity performing female streotypic rolesCabrera, Gresilita Liza B.; Ochon, Maybelle Lalaine T.

International statistics focuses on the quality and quantity of law enforcement to prevent or lessen crime. Earlier studies on the economics of crime also focus on prevention of recidivism through the use of penalties and sentences. Recently, studies on identifying the relationship of macroeconomic data and crime are becoming popular. In the Pliilippines, academics and public officials acknowledge the effect of macroeconomic factors such as urbanization, poverty, inflation, national income, and unemployment to criminal activities in the country. This study focuses on the identification of the aforementioned factors that have significant long run relationship with crime. Moreover, the study also took into account police visibility as a factor to be tested because it is stated in one of the older studies regarding the economics of crime. Statistically, macroeconomic data are difficult to regress directly because of its nonstationarity. In lieu of this problem, Johansen cointegration is used for the analysis for it specializes on variables that are nonstationary at level form but stationary at first level. Most of the data are taken from the national body governing the statistics of the country and World Bank. There are two models that are tested. The first model is the cointegration of crime as the exogenous variable with urban population growth, inflation, unemployment, and national income to represent urbanization in the Philippines. The second model took into account crime, inflation, secondary and tertiary education enrollment rate, police visibility, national income, and unemployment as a consolidated model to represent the opportunity cost in engaging in criminal activities. The results shown that in the first model, all variables of urbanization have long run relationship with crime except for national income. On the other hand, the second model’s result showed that all variables that represent opportunity cost have long run relationship with crime except national income and tertiary education enrollment.Item Children of fathers behind bars: Evaluating their perceived social stigma in relation to their levels of self-esteem and social interactionCabarles, Maria L.; Muyco, Rich Girl S.

(Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)Malnutrition is a multifactorial problem continuously plaguing communities around the world. Child malnutrition accounts for more than five million deaths each year worldwide in children below five years. The child’s nutritional status in this age bracket is crucial for their proper growth and development; hence, an urgent need to address the problem. In the Philippines, the incidence and prevalence of malnutrition doubles annually, owing to several factors hindering its rapid eradication. Leganes, Iloilo is listed as one of the top municipalities with the highest number of child malnutrition cases, and Barangay Nabitasan is identified as having the highest number of cases (92 cases) out of its 18 counties. The team aimed to help reduce the high number of cases through Project NABITASAN, an intervention geared to change the mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices about proper nutrition and food preparation. A series of lectures and activities were conducted, with the team monitoring their progress and increase in knowledge after every lecture through comparison of pre- and post-tests. A significant increase in the mothers’ knowledge was observed in every lecture (Lecture 1: t= -10.472, df=42,p-value<0.001; Lecture 2: t= -7.737, df=36, p-value<0.001; Lecture 3:t= -7.299,df=40, p-value<0.001; Lecture 4: t= -8.615,df=32, p-value<0.001; Lecture 5: t= -10.018,df=38, p-value<0.001). The team prepared fun activities and lectures for the children as well for them to learn about nutrition and its importance. Furthermore, the team facilitated feeding programs in 7 out of 8 sitios wherein mothers cooked the children’s breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks thrice a week. Vitamins were provided once a week to supplement the feeding sessions. Anthropometric measurements were taken for weekly monitoring. After six weeks, the team was able to reduce malnutrition cases by 65%, with 40 out 62 children enrolled in the program normalized. Project sustainability was left in the hands of the core group and the barangay council, with the team having drafted a 2017 budget plan proposal to allocate barangay funds for health.
