    Factors affecting women's participation in small-scale fisheries in Miagao, Iloilo
    Abordaje, Ira; Nocon, Kimberly (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-05)
    Small-scale fisheries is considered as a source of income that contributes to food security and livelihood sustainability, especially in coastal communities. However, women who fish are marginalized due to traditional gender roles. Their contributions to fisheries are frequently overlooked in economic analysis, fisheries management, and policy decisions. Women also uniquely experience multiple burdens due to gender roles and social expectations. This study analyzed the factors affecting women's decision to participate in small-scale fishing in Miagao, Iloilo. The study used surveys and the data were analyzed through binary logistic regression. Results showed that age, educational attainment, marital status, family income, and husband's income were significant in predicting women's participation. Furthermore, women are given secondary, easier tasks than men, participating in fisheries impacts women’s economic contribution and empowerment, and women in this industry still allot time for reproductive work despite spending most of their time accomplishing productive work in small-scale fisheries.

    Contested waters: The Philippine national government and the plight of capture fisheries in Masinloc, Zambales
    Acelar, Benjie L.; Gonzales, Renzie Anne A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)
    China’s militarized presence in disputed waters around Scarborough Shoal (Bajo de Masinloc) adversely affected capture fisheries in the area. Filipino fishers with low income and lacking advanced fishing technology faced greater vulnerabilities in the face of competition, threats, and harassment from foreign fishing vessels. The study examines the relationship between these Filipino fisherfolks and the Philippine government, in terms of security provided. The research utilized a state-centered relational approach and the concept of governance in explaining the dynamics of the relationship, the government being the law making and enforcing body in ensuring the protection of Filipino fisherfolks. The findings suggest a lack of compatibility and failure in communication in the relationship ofthe Philippine national government and the fisherfolks. This is due to the continued campaign of the fisherfolks for their safety and livelihood despite government undertakings. There is a greater need for measures by the Philippine government to secure the fisherfolks from the presence of Chinese fishing vessels in their traditional fishing grounds.
