Item Nationalism in the poems selected from Guerrilla Flower, 1946: A postcolonial interpretationAbellar, Archie S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03-28)Poetry is a creative form for expressing an opinion with regard to a pressing situation. The poems selected in the Guerrilla Flower were manifestations of the perceptions and aspirations of the Filipinos, especially the Ilonggos, caught in World War II. The poems were published in Iloilo City after the Ilonggos experienced the turbulent years of the Japanese occupation. For them, the occupation was unforgettable experience that enabled them to affirm nationalism. However, underlying such affirmation was a tragic flaw, that is, they were complacent and inclined to sympathize with the Americans while being sarcastic and hostile towards the Japanese, even though these two foreign powers were both colonizers and worthy of condemnation. The realities of Philippine society under war led to distinct Filipino views and actions toward these two colonizers. After the process of distillation of the poems, the elements of nationalism, such as language, religion, and historical experience,e were tainted with colonial influences. The use of poetry for historical investigation has a seminal appeal since it maintains the rationale of interdisciplinarity—the fusion of literary criticism and historiography to bring out a better off and encompassing understanding of the complicated nature of present Philippine social reality. The use of postcolonialism as a theoretical tool enables the Filipino people to collocate the abject past and present to determine the effects of colonialism for the future.Item Concept of friendship and social network of children in Dao Elementary Central School, CapizApolinario, Charmaine Joy B.; Tuto, Angeles Jill D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2004-03)Apolinario, Charmaine Joy B. and Tuto, Agnes Jill D. (March, 2004). Concept of Friendship and Social Network of Children in Dao Elementary Central School, Capiz. A research project submitted to the Division of Social Sciences, University of the Philippines in the Visayas, Miag-ao Iloilo. This is a descriptive study of children’s concept of friendship and their social network. This sought to know the concept of children about friendship and how they form their social network. Likewise, it also examined the kind of relationship among children. A total of sixty (60) participants were randomly chosen in the study. Out of the total participants, 29 were males and 31 females. The participants were obtained from Dao Central School Capiz using fishbowl method of simple random sampling. In gathering data, an open-ended questionnaire, Furman Friendship questionnaire and the Kite Network were used. Percentage, frequency distribution and average mean were used as tools of analysis. Friendship of children is determined on the basis of the good attitude that friends have to each other. The importance of gender and age were emphasized in viewing friendship and in forming children’s social networks. School serves as a venue to where children find their friends, children also gain friends through texting. In children’s social network, children were closely interconnected to same age and gender friends.Item The perceived responsiveness of laws and policies addressing the social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean students undertaking a non-degree course in the city of IloiloAbastillas, Cristine Joy P.; Armentia, Shena Mae C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-04)This study examines the perceived responsiveness of laws and policy addressing the social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean students undertaking a non-degree course in the city of Iloilo. It delves into the laws and policy that govern these alien students namely, the Office Memorandum Order No. 00-57 derived from the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940 and the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines. The subjects of this study are South Korean students taking a non-degree English language course in fourteen tutorial centers located in the city of Iloilo. Moreover, tutors employed in the said English language schools are as well interviewed to confirm some issues that South Korean students experience in their temporary sojourn in the city. The involvement of the Bureau of Immigration Officer-in-Charge and the Iloilo City Legal Counsel Official as key informants were also critical in gathering some data pertinent to the concerns faced by South Korean students as they provide profound information with a touch of legality. This study found out that the laws and policy identified and examined in this study partially address the social concerns, needs and problems of alien students in Iloilo City. The Penal Code only addresses aliens’ safety concerns and problems, while the Immigration Act, on the other hand, solely addresses the matters relating to immigration procedures and requirements which includes the acquisition of Special Study Permit. These two laws were found to have gaps since they do not address all the social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean students perceived by the interviewees. The social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean students in the city are not addressed because of the non-specificity of the two laws and the policy examined. Nonetheless, there still exist other domestic statutes and pronouncements that can address the concerns and problems of these alien students. Unfortunately, these laws are already outside the scope of this research project. Therefore, it is recommended that other laws be analyzed so as to know whether they effectively respond to the other social concerns, needs and problems of South Korean non-degree course students or not.
