    Age and sex of Miagao public market vendors as determining factors in role preferences on women as portrayed in comic books
    Alvarez, Lee T.; Cababa-an, Glenn C.; Diaz, Gladys C. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-03)
    This research is about age and sex as determining factors in role preferences of the respondents on women as portrayed in comic books. The researchers have chosen the market vendors of Miagao as respondents in this particular study for the reason that most market vendors, if not all, do read comic books. The researchers were able to gather a total of seventy [70] respondents. Of the seventy [70] respondents, thirty-two [32] or forty-six percent [46%] are males and thirty-eight [38] or fifty-four percent [54%] are females. In this study, it was found out that most of the respondents read comic books with the love theme and only a few read comic books having mixed themes. The researchers have also discovered that both the male and female respondents agree that women in most cases were presented in a more conservative rather than in the liberal light. Chi-square statistical tool with .05 level of significance was used and it resulted to the finding that there is no significant relationship between the age, the sex and the preference of the respondents with regards to the roles of women a® portrayed in our local comic books.

    Patterns and shifts of the Carriada system of San Remegio, Antique in Western Panay
    Alera, Geralyn G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-03)
    This descriptive research identifies the patterns and shifts in the transport and trading practices of the carriada across the southern boundaries between the provinces of Antique and Iloilo. Along with occular observations, interviews were conducted by the researcher with village residents of San Remigio (Antique) to gain insights into the everyday workings of village life. The results reveal that there have been changes in the carriada system explained by changes in the availability of vehicles and animals used and types and levels of productivity of local crops. Another significant factor affecting the development of the carriada were directly relevant to the settings of Barangay Agricula and Barangay Panpanan 1: the population increase in both village. However, the changes in the carriada system did not greatly alter the characteristics of the peasant economy of these areas. Although more people engage in more trade, their incomes/profits are not that substantial to change their life patterns. People still live in houses made of wood, bamboo and nipa, and crops they yield from their farms are just enough for family consumptions. Most residents in the mountain areas still aspire to obtain a living from their farms for generations to come.
