    Framing deliberative democracy through the formation of Iloilo Provincial Youth Development Council
    Adelantar, Carmela Francesca S.; Alvizo, Sol Sophia Angeliene C.; Lozaida, Gabriel Angelo G.; Seva, Bianca R. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-07)
    This study was done in order to frame deliberative democracy in the promotion of youth participation in local governance through the Iloilo Provincial Youth Development Council (Iloilo PYDC). It examined the processes of decision-making and consensus building of Iloilo PYDC in answering the following research questions: (1) how are the members of the Local Youth Development Council selected; (2) how did the degree of influence of the youth sector in local decision making increase through the LYDC; (3) what is the role of the Local Government Units, civil society, and other stakeholders in equipping Local Youth Development Council to conduct deliberative policy discussions; (4) what are the best deliberative practices in Iloilo PYDC. The study was descriptive and made the use of 20-item survey, focus group discussion, key informant interview, and observation of Iloilo PYDC meeting. The research results indicate that the extent of power given by the Iloilo PYDC to the youth mainly focused on being a platform for consultation and discussion of youth interests, enabling them to set agendas and present issues that may not normally be addressed. They can then lobby local governments to include these concerns in development plans such as the Local Youth Development Plan (LYDP). The deliberative practices of the Iloilo PYDC have served as a platform for youth organizations to present and lobby the Ilonggo youth’s needs and interests. This research recommends that there should be a meaningful implementation of the Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Law and enrichment of deliberative democratic practice that will further strengthen youth participation in local governance.

    Youth perception towards EDSA II and their willingness to participate in political activities
    Ablanida, Ligaya A.; Deadio, Dyan S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    This study is a correlational study on the Perceptions of the Youth towards EDSA II and their Willingness to Participate in Political Activities. The study was conducted among one hundred fifty-three (153) randomly selected third year and fourth year high school students from Central Philippine University and West Visayas State University. The results of the study showed that the youth have a positive perception towards EDSA II and have a high level of willingness to participate in political activities. There is a linear relationship between youth perception and willingness. Results revealed that factors such as sex, religion and school orientation do not influence youth perception towards EDSA II. The study concludes that there is indeed a relationship between the youth perception towards EDSA II and their willingness to participate in political activities. However, the factors identified in this study do not have a bearing on youth perception towards EDSA II. The researchers recommend further studies should be conducted, which involved the participation of youth in any governmental matters.
