    Bantigue, Aleli (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1992-07)
    This study was undertaken to identify the areas of household decision-making where married women of nuclear families participate. The variables involved in this study were 'educational attainment of women, ''their income, and the different areas of household decision-making. The primary instrument used in this study was an interview schedule to gather necessary data. The barangay of Mat-y, Miag-ao, Iloilo, was chosen as the research site. The respondents of the study are 59 married women of nuclear families as 50% sample. A random sampling method was employed. The chi-square test was utilised primarily in data analysis to determine the presence ofa relationship between variables. More so, simple frequency and percentage counts were employed to make the presentation of results comprehensible. With the use of frequency and percentages, it was found out that married women are involved in every area of decision-making in the household, namely financial-economic and socio-moral concerns. in financial-economic areas, women are more involved most particularly inhousehold budgeting of everyday expenses. In sociomoral concerns, they are most involved specifically in the care of children. Likewise,the results of the chi-square test showed that no relationship is evident between educational attainment and women’s involvement in the decision—making process in both financial-economic and socio-moral related areas, Furthermore, as to income as the other variable, two decision-areas were found to be affected by income. These were under the financial-economic related aspects of decision- mooting specifically in borrowing of money and paying of loans or credits, moreover, the other decision areas tested showed no relationship between income and women’s participation in the decision-making process.

    Sa pagkaon, pabisa, paghatag limos sa ila Jesus, Maria kag San Jose: The socio-religious tradition of Decinueve and the local politics of religious syncretism
    Badanoy, Christian Dave C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)
    When the Spaniards arrived in the Philippine archipelago, they encountered the indigenous people who already had established religious systems and traditions. These systems, however, possessed a similar framework with Catholicism’s idea of saints, such that it permitted the Spanish friars an easy conversion of the indigenous people and their adoption of Catholicism. This is the crucial thread that led to the development of Miagao, Iloilo’s Decinueve tradition—a practice that resulted from the fusion of two different cultural products. At the heart of this celebration are the rituals that center on the Holy Family, represented by three people who were chosen by the San Jose devotee family. They are dressed for the “little theater” and are fed several dishes as the ritual necessitates, effectively becoming a vessel in which the host family’s promise of celebrating the Sagrada Familia annually is fulfilled. While the whole affair looks like a totally Roman Catholic practice, a closer examination reveals precolonial religious elements. Taking from Astrid-Sala Boza’s concept of Folk Catholicism and Neils Mulder’s concept of Localization, and by categorizing individual features of the Decinueve tradition into indigenous, foreign, or syncretic, this thesis argues that the practice is ultimately Folk Catholic. This thesis further investigates the socio-historical and cultural context of and within Miagao that permitted the syncretic tradition to be rationalized and internalized within Miagao’s Catholic social reality. The findings suggest that elements within the practice are recognizable, and the politics of its syncretism is four-fold. Thus, syncretic traditions are formed and take new meanings because of the politics surrounding them.
