    Organizing KALAHI-CIDSS communities in Bugasong, Antique: The experience of Barangay Bagtason and Barangay Igsoro
    Arnaiz, Elaine Grace P.; Rodeo, Jay Rose F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    This undergraduate research entitled “Organizing KALAHI-CIDSS Communities in Bugasong, Antique: The Experience of Barangay Bagtason and Barangay Igsoro” is a documentation and analysis of the Community- Driven Development (CDD) approach to community organizing in the implementation of KALAHI-CIDSS Project in Barangay Bagtason and Barangay Igsoro in the municipality of Bugasong. The community organizing process, in the KALAHI-CIDSS CDD context, refers to the Community Empowerment Activity Cycle (CEAC) which serves as the framework for KALAHI-CIDSS Project implementation. Primarily through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Key Informant Interview (KII), the researchers were able to describe the organizing process that has transpired during the course of KALAHI-CIDSS Project implementation in the two barangays along with the challenges that they encountered. The data gathered from F'GDs and KIIs were supplemented by the secondary data obtained from the KALAHI-CIDSS office in Bugasong such as Participatory Situational Analysis (PSA) results, barangay profiles and other relevant records. The data collected from various sources were triangulated to come up with valid discussions, lessons, recommendations and analysis. Consolidation and analysis of the data is guided by the framework of the study and the people-centered development principles espoused by Manalili and Batistiana and Murphy.

    Corporate social responsibility in the energy sector: The role of stakeholders and Korea Electric Power Corporation-Salcon Power Corporation (KSPC) in the Visayas base-load power development project in Brgy. Colon, Naga City, Cebu
    Agero, Nikki Rose L. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    This research study examines the roles and strategies utilized by the different stakeholders (i.e. Asian Development Bank, DOE, DENR-7, Municipal Government of Naga City, Cebu and Civil Society Organizations) in promoting corporate social responsibility in the Visayas Base-Load Power Development Project owned by KSPC in Brgy. Colon, Naga City, Cebu from 2003 to the present. The paper also identifies and analyzes the interrelationships between the various actors/stakeholders. In the study, the resource relationship employed by ADB, DOE and DENR-7 towards KSPC was of high interdependence. The use of direct usage strategies was employed by stipulating terms and conditions to influence the KSPC’s observance of corporate social responsibility in the coal-fired power plant. The relationship between the Municipality of Naga City, Cebu and KSPC exhibited firm power for the project was approved and endorsed by the national government under a Built-Own-Operate scheme. It is favorable to use indirect usage strategies such as sending letters/complaints to the responsible individuals in order to exert pressures/demands to the company. Between the civil society organizations and KSPC, the resource relationship was marked by firm power and low interdependence. The civil society organizations utilized indirect withholding/usage strategies (i.e. working through linkages) that were capable of controlling resources to obtain the response from KSPC. Resources (i.e. financial and social) and resource relationships affect the interrelationships between the actors of the project towards the observance of corporate social responsibility for these serve as mechanisms for leverage over the company.
