    A study of the performance of the marketing intermediaries at the Iloilo fishing port complex
    Acanto, Jan B. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1989-03)
    This research study presents an analysis on the performance of the marketing intermediaries at the Iloilo fishing Port Complex. The following types of intermediaries are involved in marketing fish landed at IFPC: brokers, wholesalers, bulanteros, and retailers. Brokers assemble and dispose the fish of producers while the wholesalers, bulanteros and retailers create the forms, time and place utilities. The results show that fish marketing intermediaries perform functions which are vital in the fish marketing system. Average costs per week were ₱13.67, ₱46.54 and ₱77.26 per tub for the brokers, wholesalers, and retailers, respectively. The average volume handled per week is 4,641.17 kilograms. Cost and returns analysis for all intermediaries showed that the average not return above total cost is ₱2.36 per kilogram. The average total income above total cost is ₱10,953.18 per week. The rate of return to capital, operator’s labor, and entrepreneurship is 14.49 percent. Efficiency of each type of intermediary _ could not be measured due to the fact that the sample size of each type is not sufficient to obtain significant results. In relation to this, a further study that could measure the efficiency of each intermediary is recommended by the researcher.

    Apalacio, Reymund D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1993-04)
    As its contribution to the enhancement of the social welfare of people, especially the poor, in a poor developing country like the Philippines, a government university like UP has embarked on a policy democratized education which includes the scheme of democratized admission at the UPV Iloilo High School. This paper undertook action research, which is the applications of tools and methods of social science to immediate, practical problems, to determine the academic performance of economically poor students admitted under the new, democratized admission scheme of the UPV Iloilo High School. It was found out that generally they perform as well as their better-off counterparts under the old scheme (with tuition fees).
