    Utang na loob: The Ilonggo experience
    Baldo, 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.

    Signification of Filipino culture in the film RPG Metanoia
    Asuncion, April Angeli B.; Zante, Sheena Angelique D.; Piñano, Von Janatius (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-04)
    This study identifies and describes the different significations of Filipino Culture in the 3D animated film RPG Metanoia. It is supported by Semiotics’ basic claim that media texts are made up of signs, which are composed of two elements: the signifier and the signified. The signifier is the physical representation of a sign that is being perceived by the senses, while the signified are the meanings that are being associated with the sign. The signifiers in this study are the different physical representations of the different Components of Culture according to Panopio et al. (1978), namely, Norms, Ideas and Material Culture. Data were gathered through observation and were further analyzed using content analysis. An interview with the creators of the film was also conducted. Results show that the different significations of Filipino Culture in the film are Norms like Barkada System and Kwentuhan, Ideas which include the value of Pagkamasayahin and Belief in the Supernatural, and Material Culture which is signified by Filipino Clothing.
