This study aims to describe the perceptions of UPV CAS female students on family, marriage, employment, rights and duties, feminism, feminist movement and feminists, contemporary Filipina and economics and politics, and to determine if their perceptions are feminist in leaning. The researcher conducted a survey by giving out questionnaires to UPV CAS female students. Moreover, gender-related materials in the library were also utilized such as books, magazines, journals, etc. The respondents were chosen through the stratified random sampling technique. The study reveals that the responses, considering all year levels, do not seem to vary considerably. There has not been so much difference in their responses although younger students seemed quite conservative in their outlook in some matters. The study also reveals that the respondents had a positive perception towards feminism since most of their responses on the items were feminist in leaning. Most of their responses indicate that women these days are more or less enjoying a favorable status in society, although they still believe that gender inequality still exists. Moreover, they think that feminism is still necessary for Filipinas.Item The political career of Mayor Romulo Cabana of Leon, Iloilo (1992-2001)Andrada, Ed Nathan; Torrijos, Richelle Paul (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-04)This is the study on the political career of Romulo C. Cabana, a three-term municipal mayor of Leon, Iloilo (1992-2001). The objectives of the study were: to trace Romulo Cabana’s ascendancy as the top executive of the Municipality of Leon, which includes his inherent qualities, political affiliations, socio-economic position, educational background and strategies that led to his election as mayor; to assess Mayor Cabana’s political philosophies and leanings, and; to make a comparison between the programs of the Municipal Government and what were accomplished. To achieve these objectives, the researchers used the following methods: an archival research, which includes materials contained in the different agencies of the local government, and the local library of the Municipality of Leon; interview with key informants, which includes the mayor himself and a number of local constituents who have the knowledge and experience associating with Mayor Cabana. The researchers have found out, that as a political leader, Romulo Cabana, has inherent qualities and characteristics that led his career to a three-term mayor of the Municipality of Leon. He has the willingness to serve his constituents, especially those who are less fortunate in the society. His socio-economic background had further induced and strengthened his cause for the “masa” or the ordinary people. Mayor Cabana’s political career had once proved that, political strategies and affiliations were secondary if not only to serve as a background to public service and societal responsibilities. With his career he also proved that experience and practicability is more worth than the highest educational attainment or status. With his unique political repertoire and humanistic charisma, many of his constituents in Leon had described him as the most “loved,” and the most respected municipal mayor in Leon to date. And with few critics on the opposite side, Mayor Cabana did his job steadfastly with a vision for growth and development of the Municipality of Leon.Item Collaboration in Altavas, Aklan during the Japanese occupation: The case of Dr. Roque R.
