Item Sexual identity, coming out, and romantic relationships among self-confessed college tomboys and lesbiansCabungcal, Kristine Marie C.; Cebrian, Veah Marie P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)This study described the sexual identity, coming out, and romantic relationships among self-confessed college tomboys and lesbians. Eight respondents (6 tomboys; 2 lesbians) participated in this study. The tomboys were found to assume more of a masculine role, while lesbians the feminine role. Questionnaires were utilized to describe gender identity and coming out. Also, two Likert types of scales by John Mohr that is Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Identity Scale and Outness Inventory were used. One-one-one interview with the respondents was also conducted to further substantiate what it is being a tomboy or n.lesbian. Results showed that a greater number of respondents (50%) had experienced sexual identity confusion during their elementary years. The same percentage of respondents also reported that it was at the age of 15 that they first realized that they were homosexuals. All of the respondents are clear of their sexual identity and have fully accepted themselves. The respondents were open to their friends. While open to their friends, they remain to be closeted at home due to the stigma that is attached by their family members to tomboys and lesbians.Item Children of fathers behind bars: Evaluating their perceived social stigma in relation to their levels of self-esteem and social interactionCabarles, Maria L.; Muyco, Rich Girl S.

(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)This study aimed to find out the psychosocial effects of post-employment on the OFWs, as well as how they would reintegrate themselves to their respective families and communities. Thirty five respondents, 23 female and 12 male, were selected through convenience sampling. The respondents were residents of Leon, Iloilo. Each has worked abroad for at least 5 years, is married, and has children. The findings did not support the idea that labor migration affects primarily the relationship of the migrant workers to their family and community. The respondents remained close to their family despite being away from them for quite a time. Their reintegration to community was relatively easy despite being unaware of the reintegration programs of the governmentItem Philippine Armed Forces different response towards different communists insurgents in the Island of Panay a comparative study on the 47th Infantry Battalion and 32nd Civil Relations UnitBrillantes, Jarrah S.; Tanate, Marianie C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)Communist insurgency is one of the most long withstanding national security problem in the Philippines. There has been no ebb in the counter insurgency measures of the government since the Marcos regime to the present. However, the changes in the communist organization brought about institutional changes on the military’s part. In the current counterinsurgency operations by the armed forces units, there is now an emphasis on unarmed approaches such as civil-military operations, propaganda, psychological warfare and socio-civic activities, instead of just solely conducting armed approaches. Linkages, coordination and collaboration with the local government units in promoting development became significant elements in counterinsurgency operations. This paper examines the different kinds of approaches undertaken by the 47th Infantry Battalion at Calinog, Iloilo and the Civil Relation Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (CRSAFP) in Camp Delgado, Iloilo City toward communist insurgents. The 47th IB and the 32nd CRU are currently conducting a triad approach in the counterinsurgency operations. This triad approach includes combat operations, intelligence and socio-civic operations. In delegating the command from commanding officer to the operating units, the chain of command is well observed and followed. In addressing the insurgency problem, the AFP units have high regards toward local government authorities. Education, training and years in service as well as coordination and cooperation with local civil counterparts affect their competence in operations undertaken.Item The wealthy and the well-born: How political elites affect faction formationBedia, Laurice Amy C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)This paper is a study on the roles of two types of political elites, the landed elites and the business elites, on the different stages of faction formation. Factions are formed because of the desire of politicians to win in elections. The stages of faction formation are the recruitment of members and the selection of candidates for elections, definition of faction activities, decision-making on local policies and ordinances and the management of resource flow for the survival of the faction. The ways the two types of elites affect faction formation differ since the resources available to them also vary. Through interviews with sixteen political elites, eight of which were landed elites and eight were business elites, the study was able to determine the ways in which political elites affect faction formation. Landed elites affect faction formation by influencing the recruitment of members and decision-making of local ordinances through their financial contributions, experience, and political support from relatives in politics and business partners. Business elites on the other hand affect faction formation through providing significant financial contributions for faction activities and recruitment of members. The diversity of the resources of landed elites enables them to have greater effect over faction formation.Item Emotion work and its relation to job burnout and job satisfaction among call center agents in Iloilo CityBañas, Mechaela E. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-04)The current study aimed to describe the level of emotion work among call center agents in Iloilo city including the differences in their levels of emotion work between sex groups and types of call center work. It also attempted to show the relationship of emotion work to job burnout and job satisfaction. The design of the study was descriptive-correlational. Analyses were based on a sample of thirty available male and female (30) inbound and outbound call center agents from selected call centers in Iloilo city. Three data gathering instruments were used in this study, namely: Emotional Labour Scale (ELS), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). Statistical tools employed in the study were means for descriptive analysis, Mann - Whitney U for tests of difference and Spearman’s rho for correlations. Level of significance was set at 0.05 for both tests. The findings revealed that call center agents occasionally have intense experience of emotion work, whereas they sometimes experience a variety of emotion work. Moreover, they used deep acting regulation of emotion more compared to surface acting . Emotion work is correlated with job satisfaction while no relationship was found between emotion work and job burnout. Significant differences in the levels of emotion work existed both for groups based on sex and type of work.Item Realignment of roles, attachment styles in family relationships and reassessment of values of overseas Filipino worker returnees in Tigbauan, IloiloBacero, Mon Ritchie Y.; Benosa, Aaron Alden O.

(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)This paper was designed to describe the income and employment structure of the households in the coastal barangays of Miagao, Iloilo. Data were gathered through face- to-face interviews with 303 household heads from the six barangays identified by the Municipal Planning and Development Office. There were a total of 1,867 household members, where 1,086 belonged to the working age group. The data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, averages and percentages. Results showed that despite being near the sea, the households were not dependent on it for their income and employment. The proportion of professionals was low. Most household members in working age worked in the past in non — professional jobs, mostly in contractual terms. Similarly, most were currently employed in skill-related jobs such as in construction and mechanics. The proportion of females out of work is greater than the males. The monthly household income ranged between 0 to Phpl6, 300. The majority of households have an average income of P7, 343.19. Income diversification program is needed in the area. The women who are willing to work can be targeted for livelihood program and skills training. Information on jobs and skills training available must effectively disseminated in the barangays.Item Menopausal women: Knowledge, experiences, health practices and coping strategiesArzaga, Mary Juliebel B.; Palma, Valerie S.

(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)This is an exploratory and evaluative study aimed to conduct an institutional analysis of the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), specifically, in the management of Sibalom Natural Park (SNP) in Sibalom, Antique. Seventeen (17) representatives from the three (3) member-institutions of PAMB and two (2) People’s Organizations (POs) were chosen through purposive interview as respondents. Focused group discussion (FGD) and key informant interview (KII) were utilized to gather necessary data. KII used a structured interview. Secondary data from the different member-institutions of PAMB were also sources of essential information needed in the study. The performance of PAMB in managing the SNP was analyzed based on the four components of management. These four components were delegations of functions, utilization of financial resources, conflict management, and leadership and mandates. It was found out that the SNP-PAMB members’ responsibilities were not clearly defined and there was no strict delineation of each of the member-institutions’ roles and functions. Since the organization does not have enough funds to sustain its existing projects and to initiate new ones, projects and activities were financed through the individual efforts of the members. Though there is lack of coordination among members, they do not consider it as conflict. Factors such as unstable financial status, limited activities, lack of a clear institutional structure hinder the implementation of the existing mandates for the operations of PAMB.
