    Synecdochical narrative of the sixth military district: World war II memories in the Balantang Memorial Cemetery National Shrine
    Bachoco, Kathryn Joy E. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)
    World War II commemorations in the Philippines have been found to be too preoccupied with the role of America in liberating the country from Japan. This research provides an examination of the historical background on the 6MD’s guerrilla resistance in Panay through archival research and key informant interviews with a 6MD WWII veteran, an Ilonggo WWII historian, and members of the Veterans Foundation of the Philippines (VFP)- Sons and Daughters Association (SDAI) in order to analyze the museum exhibit in the Balantang Memorial Cemetery National Shrine. Following the theories of Anthony Cohen and Ellen Badone on the levels and boundaries of group identity, this thesis argues that the remembrance of the Second World War in BMCNS is unique for it follows a theme surrounding the Sixth Military District’s (6MD) commander General Macario Peralta Jr., rather than the common narratives observed in most of the Philippines’ WWII memorials and monuments. Using the information from the 6MD and the PVAO’s Shrine Curator, the act of meaningmaking was done in interpreting the museum exhibit’s narratives. This work argues that because the BMCNS museum employs the person of Macario Peralta as a central figure in representing the history of the war in Panay, the museum is able to create an image of their group’s identity which differs from the common themes of war. This research introduces the concept of a Synecdochical Narrative which is a form of museum representation that utilizes a singular figure in order to elevate and make distinct the identity of the group from which they belong to.

    Acallar, Ma. Lory Jen D. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2018-05)
    The study was conducted to describe the experiences of mothers while evacuating as the Marawi Siege occurred, their circumstances at the evacuation center, and the challenges that they experienced when the siege ended to determine their different coping strategies and to determine their level of resilience. Fifteen (15) internally displaced mothers served as respondents to the study. All were residents of Marawi, were present at the time the city was attacked, and were evacuated until they have settled in an evacuation center. Three instruments were utilized namely: an interview guide, Ways of Coping (Revised) by Folkman (1985), and the Resilience Research Center — Adult Resilience Measure (RRC — ARM) (2016). Results of the study revealed several themes. Majority of the respondents employed seeking social support as their coping strategy. All of the respondents had high levels of resilience
