    Text and context of the songs of Gloc9 (2003-2012)
    Alorro, Mary Joanne F.; Sevillano, Kristine Charisse B. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    This descriptive study was conducted to ascertain the text and context of the songs of Gloc9 from 2003-2012. Forty (40) songs with societal issues were determined, classified to which presidential term (Arroyo's or Aquino's) they were released and analyzed if they reflect the real Philippine setting at the given period. The results showed that many of the songs of Gloc9 did not exactly reflect the real-life setting of Filipinos under the two presidential eras they belonged thus as a medium, the songs created a Constructed Mediated Reality. However, songs that mentioned issues such as poverty, unemployment, abuse of power and drug abuse were reflective of period they were written. Nevertheless, rap song is a good medium not only for entertainment but also for information. It is one of the most effective medium to bring awareness to the public by presenting relevant societal issues in a rap music format. To further improve this study, future researchers should do a triangulated research method.

    Ilonggo journalists' perspectives and practices on freedom of expression
    Alvero, Frances Kristene (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    This descriptive study used the survey method to determine the perspectives and practices of Ilonggo journalists on freedom of expression. In gathering data, purposive sampling was used to determine the respondents. An interview schedule was used as an instrument to gather necessary information for the study since the research is descriptive in design. The study was conducted in Iloilo City from December 2012 until February 2013. Results showed that Ilonggo journalists view freedom of expression as not absolute. They exercise this right (to express opinion and ideas, impart and gather information) but they have to respect and protect the privacy and reputation of a person and of the State along the process. The concept of journalists on freedom of expression, however, is more concerned on the issue of privacy that surrounds a person than on the issue that concerns the society or the national security. When it comes to practicing their freedom of expression, journalists have varying actions on how to deal with certain situations.
