Item Problems in granting land title to Sulod Bukidnon: A case of Brgy. Jayobo, Lambunao, IloiloBrillo, Encel Joy F.; Verano, Renold M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-04)This is a descriptive study at the same time exploratory in nature of the Sulod- Bukidnon’s claim of their ancestral domain title. Mainly, the researchers put emphasis on the mandate of the NCIP (National Commission on Indigenous Peoples) for the implementation of the IPRA including the requirements and processes for the granting of CADT (Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title); the Sulod- Bukidnons basis of ancestral domain claim, awareness of IPRA and NCIP, and Customary law with regards to land ownership; the factors that hinder the NCIP operations for the granting of Sulod- Bukidnon’s ancestral claim; and the accomplishments of NCIP and the Sulod- Bukidnon to date in the pursuit of their respective interest. It was found out in the study that any persons/community who are classified by the NCIP (based on genealogical survey), as indigenous could apply for CADT. The CADT recognizes the rights, possession and ownership of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) over their ancestral domains. According to RA 8371, IPRA, respect the indigenous concept of particular ownership of such land. The law also recognizes that the IP’s ancestral domain is a community property that belongs to all generations. NCIP on the other hand was created as the primary agency for the implementation of policies, plans, and programs to promote the rights and well being of the IPs. This two (IPRA and NCIP) actually are the support systems of the IPs on their claim to their ancestral domain title. It was also found out in the study that the indigenous people in the periphery have different notion/lack of idea regarding IPRA and NCIP, compared to the people in the center or near in the barangay proper, who are more aware of what the law and the commission was all about. The latter kind of people composed mainly of tribal leaders, who undergo a series of seminars conducted by NCIP. The IPs are the one who identify the areas covered by their ancestral domain. Basically, long- time occupancy and cultivation of land are the main condition for the ownership of the land. The NCIP on the other hand only facilitates the granting of land title to the IPs. There were several factors identified in these study that affected the granting of land title to the Sulod- Bukidnon. Mainly, conflict of interest between IPs and the other government agencies/institution, specifically, West Visayas State University- College of Agriculture and Forestry (WVSU-CAF), IPs lack of awareness about the law and the commission, and other personal interest.Item Illness according to the manogbulong (folk healers) of Igbaras and Miagao, IloiloAquino, Mary Grace P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-04)This study explores and documents the different attributions of illness by manogbulong or folk healers of Miagao and Igbaras in the province of Iloilo. It contributes to the deepening of our understanding of indigenous conceptions of and illness. Different practices indicate one or more specializations among the selected manogbulong, namely: surhuano, surhuana, manoghilot, manogluy-a, paltira, baylan, and manogbot-bot. There are three different causes of illness according to the manogbulong. Unseen beings (like fairies, the elves, ghosts); persons with special powers (such as witches and sorcerers), and, physiological functions or injuries (like cramps, muscle pains, fatigue, kibit, bali or bone dislocation, etc.). The results of the study are as follows: First, sex (male/female) and type of locality (upland or coastal) of the manogbulong does not affect their perception of illness. Second, differences on perception of illness are associated with their specialization. For example, the surhuano/ surhuana believed that unseen beings and people with special powers are always the cause of illness. The manoghilot on the other hand believed that hangin (cold air) is the primary cause of illness. When the hangin penetrates the ugat(blood vessel), an illness of physiological ailment occurs.Item The empire of Flor Yntrencherado: A study on anti-colonial resistanceAlayon, John Richard S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-10)Behind the disciplinary mechanisms of the State can be read the haunting memory of contagions, plagues, rebellions, crimes, brigandage, deserters, people who appear and disappear, live and die in disorder. These were the pronounced realities of the Philippine colonial landscape that usually kept the colonial government and its allied class, the principalia, busy. In taking a closer look at the details of these events, however, one can see that all these were the suppressed significant "Others" in an effort of the colonial government to penetrate society, regulate social relationships, extract rewards, and appropriate resources in determined ways. This study presents the life story of Yntrencherado, the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Philippines, in his own light. It is about his exploits, spiritual awakening, missionary activities, theoretical formation and discursive practices, economic enterprise, and networking from the Gigantes all throughout Western Visayas. It also takes into account the formation of the Union (his organization) and eventually its transformation into a full-blown Empire with Yntrencherado Emperor, as its Supreme leader. It also presents the inevitable clash between Yntrencherado and his Empire and the State and its instrumentalities, with the latter being the center of power, bearer of modernity, and an emblem of rationality. Thus, it is imperative to lay bare the perception of the State of the Empire and vice-versa. Moreover, the study explains the specific ways in which the Empire proved subversive to the order supplied and perpetuated by the State. It also determines how the Empire constitutes a form of resistance against the colonial state's drive to rationalize life. The study argues that Yntrencherado, as a historical subject of linear history, is hard to contain. In projecting turn against the dominant historical construct of statehood, one was able to comprehend his life, works, activities, and writings. The state, in its drive towards hegemon,y considered various aspects of Yntrencherado and his Empire as a threat to the former's existence and purpose of governance. On the other hand, Yntrencherado and his Empire felt that some government bureaucratic regulations and instrumentalities were intrusions into their private domains. This eventually led to subversion. The study shows that Yntrencherado and his Empire were subversives to the order supplied and perpetuated by the state in a sense that they had their own center of power. They had their own views as to how everyday life's to be spent and governed, specific religio-political norms and practices to follow, and a leader who was the ultimate source of all knowledge and power in the Empire. The study found out that the Empire constituted a form of resistance against the colonial state's drive to rationalize life in so many ways. On a more pronounced feature, it confronted the infrastructural power of the state violently. Scores of life were lost and properties were damaged in an attempt of the Empire to take over the control of governance from the state. In a more subtle but persisting way, the Empire, Yntrencherado and the Yntencheradistas disregarded many state's rules and regulations or doing nothing at all about the state's official policies. These forms of defiance, however, earned the animosity of the legitimate authority and the military. As the nation-state moves onward, according to Foucault, its coercive power create deviants, Yntrencherado, his Empire and his followers included.
