    University-town: An analysis of the coping mechanisms of the UPV-generated stakeholders to the effect of academic calendar shift
    Berdugo, John Paul F.; Igpuara, Luvielyn N. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)
    The University of the Philippines in the Visayas-Miagao (UPV Miagao) occupies a large part of the municipality of Miagao’s land area. Its population of students, teachers, and staff also comprise a big chunk of the town’s total population. The university has also assumed an important economic role in Miagao by generating jobs for the locals and providing additional tax income to the local government. The university and the municipal government of Miagao have developed ties and communication, which has become a vital element of this town-gown relationship. To strengthen the bond, activities like the UPV-Miagao Friendship Day is even celebrated. However, when the university shifted its academic calendar for the school year 2014-2015, creating a four month-break and affecting the UPV-generated stakeholders, no formal communication was exchanged between the two parties. Using the university-community framework by Martin (2002), the research will start by analyzing the major stakeholders of the university. In reference to the academic calendar shift, this study will analyze the effect of such shift on the tricycle drivers, boarding house owners, business owners, laundry service providers and the municipal government. The study will also examine their coping mechanism to the said change. The paper will employ survey, interviews, focus group discussions and field note observations to gather all necessary data.

    Economic analysis of rice farming under differential tenurial arrangements in Sibalom, Antique
    Basañes, Lorvi Ann A.; Rondrique, Clyde G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1997-03)
    This study was undertaken in order to acquire informations about the effects of tenurial arrangments on the productivity and profitability of rice farms in Sibalom, Antique, from the operators view point. The study found out that the practices of rice farms did not essentially vary among farms of different tenure arrangements, though some slight differences had been discovered. Furthermore, it was also discovered that tenurial arrangement greatly affected the distribution of gains from farming. Though share-tenanted farms proved to be the most profitable from the operators point of view, the conpensation that the operators received were quite inadequate to compensate the cost in using owned inputs. Moreover, other tenurial arrangements, leasehold and owner-operated, revealed to be less profitable than the one mentioned earlier. In terms of its effect on productivity, tenurial arrangements were found to explain an insignificant variation in the farms output. The study concluded that tenurial arrangements did really have a significant effect on productivity and the production practices of rice farmers, though in the profitability side, it proved to be otherwise. Of the problems presented, the emergence of rats and the golden kuhol pestilence in the rice fields were pointed out as the primary reasons for the decline in the productivity of rice farms in Sibalom, Antique. Aside from the propagation of government support programs and the transformation and empowerment of rice farmer cooperatives, the study also recommended that a closer look on share-tenancy must be done by the goverment so as to eliminate its equity undesirability, instead of outlawing the said tenurial arrangement which proved, in this study, to be the most efficient tenurial arrangement in rice farming.
