    Fisherfolk participation in (AMMMI) Barangay Palaca, Miag-ao, Iloilo
    Bianet, Hedda C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1994-03)
    People's organizations are formed by NGO's to help the fisherfolk uplift their economic well-being and to ensure their participation in charting their future. The Asosasyon Sang Magagmay Nga Mangingisda Sa Miag-ao, Iloilo (AMMMI), as a people's organization, has been existing for almost seven years. Its existence could be accounted for by the participation of the members in the organization. Thus, the study was made. The objectives of the study were met: 1. The members belong to a relatively homogeneous groups of low-income fisherfolk, households with common issues of economic survival and common aspiration to improve standard of living through their collective action. 2. The members have high level of participation in organizational, educational, and socio-economic activities of AMMMI.

    Syncretization of modern and indigenous health knowledge and practices of the Tumandoks of Barangay Igpaho, Tubungan, Iloilo and its implications to community health
    Ausmolo, Carlyn Grace P.; Magluyan, Jan Andrew T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)
    Indigenous peoples (IP) in the Philippines are identified as among the poor and marginalized sectors. Health and nutrition problems continue to persist in their communities due to lack or absence of access to good healthcare systems caused by their disenfranchised situation. Literatures that discuss the health practices of IP groups in the Philippines, particularly in Panay Island, are limited and less popular. As an attempt to enrich the existing literatures on IP life, this study explored the indigenous and modern health systems and practices, including their syncretic characteristics that could draw out implications for community health of die Tumandoks of Barangay Igpaho, Tubungan, Iloilo. Case study analysis and methods were employed in this study which included key-informant interview and focus-group discussion. Nine community healers and tliree Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) were interviewed while eight Tumandoks participated in the FGD. This study documented four indigenous health practices: panghdof, pag-ubra, panghanggab, and pamulong herbal. The Tumandoks ’ knowledge on phytotherapy and the oral narrative of Tanyong Mangdaw were also noted in the study. The modern health practices identified were taking of medicine, going to a physician, getting vaccines, and accessing other health services at the MLGU. The identified syncretic characteristics implied that the lack of modern healthcare services in the community contributes to the endurance of indigenous health practices and knowledge of the Tumandoks of Igpaho. However, this also has detrimental effects to community health such as the prevalence of malnutrition and teenage pregnancy.
