    Navigating the redevelopment dilemma: The impact of Iloilo City central and super market rehabilitation project on ambulant vendors from rural areas
    Bermil, Dannah Veronica M.; Magbanua, Gwyne Winnah B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2024-06)
    This study examines the marginalization of ambulant vendors in Iloilo City's Super and Central markets during ongoing public-private partnership (PPP)-driven market rehabilitation projects. It explores factors influencing vendors' experiences and perceptions, focusing on the impact of PPP projects and the city government's response to their needs and participation in consultations. Employing a cross-sectional and exploratory approach, it used data from interviews from ambulant vendors and key informants and utilized purposive sampling and thematic analysis. Findings point to challenges encountered during redevelopment, such as sales decline and exclusion from decision-making processes. Ambulant vendors respond by diversifying products, yet they confront negative perceptions and insufficient support. Recommendations include advocating for fair operating conditions and city government assistance to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Drawing upon Urban Politics Theory and Resource Dependency Theory, the study underscores systematic marginalization and emphasizes the necessity of inclusive decision-making mechanisms to empower ambulant vendors within urban governance structures. Recognizing their agency and advocating for their rights can catalyze equitable urban development, benefiting all stakeholders. This research offers valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of urban development and the marginalized role of ambulant vendors, urging policymakers to prioritize their inclusion in future planning initiatives.

    The effect of the NFA rice subsidy program "Tindahan Natin" on the political attitudes of its rural poor household beneficiaries in Barangay Caraudan, Janiuay, Iloilo
    Bebelone, Diana Mae R.; Fernandez, Charity T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    This study described the food security situation in a rural village where an NFA Rice Subsidy Program “Tindahan Natin” is in operation. It analyzes whether or not the Tindahan Natin program (IV) affects the political attitudes (DV) of its rural poor household beneficiaries. The research assessed the various levels of external political efficacy, political cynicism, political trust, and cynical statism of thirty-three (33) rural poor households (16 non-beneficiaries and 17 beneficiaries) in Barangay Caraudan, Janiuay, Iloilo. The study employed the Quasi-Experimental Method, specifically the Nonequivalent Control Group Design (NCGD). Using the non-probability purposive snow-ball sampling technique, a survey was conducted which assessed the sociodemographic profile of the respondents and measured their levels of political attitudes through Likert-Scale statements. Results show that the “Tindahan Natin” program by the government has been effective in increasing the accessibility and availability of basic food resources— specifically rice—in Barangay Caraudan. The levels of political trust among the beneficiaries of the food subsidy program is a a little bit higher compared to the nonbeneficiaries, which means that the government program has possibly strengthened the positive attitude and outlook towards the government, its institutions, and bureaucracy in general. All rural poor household respondents are highly cynical towards the government and the elected leaders and politicians. A substantial majority—regardless of being a beneficiary or a non-beneficiary of the Tindahan Natin—are highly dependent on the government’s provision of public services addressing food insecurity. There is no difference in the respondents’ assessment of the responsiveness of the government.

    Baylosis, Jericho Alain G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-03)
    This study sought to determine, compare, and analyze the political awareness and the level of trust to the government in relation to the level of political participation of the inschool and out-of-school youth in Miag-ao, Iloilo. Specifically the study tried to identify the political awareness of both in- school and out- of- school youth and the factors that influence their political awareness. It likewise sought to determine the differences in the political awareness, level of trust to the government, and level of political participation of both in- school and out- of- school youth. The study also sought to find out if the level of trust to the government affects the level of political participation of the respondents. One- hundred three (103) in- school youth were selected by simple random sampling from Miag-ao National High School and twenty- one (21) out- of- school youth were selected by employing the snowball sampling from the barangays that compose the poblacion area of the municipality of Miag-ao served as the respondents of the study. Likert scale was used to measure the respondents’ level of trust to the government and level of political participation. On the other hand, a “yes- no scale” was used to measure the political awareness of both respondents. The Mann-Witney Non Parametric test and the Chi-square test were used to analyze the results of the study. Research results showed that age does not affect the political awareness of the respondents but on the other hand, results of the study also showed that sex and educational attainment affect the respondents’ political awareness and that these two factors serve as a determinant of political awareness Comparing the results of both in- school and out- of- school youth showed both sets of respondents are politically aware, for their averages fall above the 50% line but the in-school youth showed a higher level of political awareness as compared to the out-of-school youth. In terms on their level of trust to the government, both respondents are undecided if they trust the government. Research results from the level of political participation of the in-school and out-of-school youth showed that both respondents agree that the youth should be politically participate. Lastly, the results of the study showed that the respondents’ level of trust to the government does not affect their level of political participation

    A comparative study on the implementation of social amelioration program under Bayanihan 1 and 2 in Iloilo City and Davao City, Philippines
    Ayag, Edgar Maverick C., II; Basilan, Glyngie Erika S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)
    To address the economic problems posed by the pandemic, the Philippine government institutionalized two Bayanihan laws to issue cash assistance to the affected families through the Social Amelioration Program (SAP). This study outlined the similarities and differences in the SAP implementation under Bayanihan 1 and 2 of Iloilo City and Davao City through a descriptive research design, particularly their beneficiary selection and accountability efforts. The results of this study suggest divergences in the actors involved and their roles in the implementation, the approaches and behaviors of the city mayors, and the numerous changes in the guidelines set by the national government caused such similarities and differences. Inadequate budget forwarded by the national government produced gaps in personnel complement to cover beneficiary selection and accountability efforts, which were filled up by local government resources. The results of the study are consistent with the claim of the Institutionalist Theory of Public Policy that the actors involved in the institutions, as well as their roles and arrangements, dictate the outcomes of policies. In addition, they are also consistent with the claim of the Rational Choice Theory that actors in the policy arena try to maximize their utility to achieve their goals.

    Children's rights and welfare: Case study on the effects of the 1988 family code to illegitimate children in Iloilo
    Bagsit, Liza Flor T.; Huesca, Andrea Fideliz T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    This research paper looks into how the rights of illegitimate children has been changed with the passage of the 1988 Family Code. Using 6 case studies, this research examines how the Code affected the assertion of these children's rights by themselves or by their parent/guardian. It further looks into the avenues that can restrict or facilitate the exercise of these rights. The 1988 Family Code has effected changes with regard to illegitimate children. It eliminated the classification of illegitimate children and it brought improvement on the law of succession wherein the illegitimate child gets 1/2 of the share of the legitimate child. Despite these gains, the Family Code brought about discrimination against illegitimate children in the sense that they cannot use their fathers' surnames unless acknowledged. Moreover, as illegitimate children, they get an unequal share in the inheritance from their fathers. In the eyes of the law there is still inequality between legitimate and illegitimate children. Illegitimate children are less protected by the law than their counterparts. The 1988 Family Code is an improvement with regard to the promotion of the rights of illegitimate children, but if we are to advocate equal rights between illegitimate and legitimate children, there is still a need to change the provisions of the said law. There are also several factors which serve as obstacles to their assertion of rights. These are: concern with “shame”; time consuming to file cases in court; financial constraints; and, lack of incentive in establishing filiation when the father is penniless.

    Porntrepreneur: A phenomenological study on the narratives of women towards pornography as a source of income in San Jose De Buenavista, Antique
    Aquino, Carla Faith M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)
    Pornography as a business industry in the Philippines persists despite legal restrictions. This research maps the narratives of select Catholic women and gender advocates in San Jose de Buenavista, Antique towards pornography as a phenomenon and as a source of income. Various themes are explored around their views of sex work as work, and their perception towards government policies and gaps in addressing issues on pornography. The study utilized data from two separate Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with eight (8) of women who are members of Lay Organization Movement Association (LOMAS) and Marian Movement Organizations (MaMOs), five (5) gender advocates, three (3) of whom are government workers, and two (2) NGO representatives, and sexual violence-related national legislations. The Moustakas transcendental phenomenology framework was employed and data were analyzed through the lenses of the conservative and feminist theories. Results revealed that women view pornography as exploitative yet bounded by moral dimensions. As an industry, it is easily accessible to the public, a business involving money, profit, and income. Catholic women argue that pornography should be exclusive only for married couples but should be restricted from children, while gender advocates do not want to restrict everything but are concerned about women’s rights. The women articulate that the driving forces leading people to engage themselves in such work are poverty and survival.
