    Court-annexed mediation: Fair and speedy administration of justice in the Philippines
    Baes, Marty V. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)
    The Philippine Judicial System experiences a problem characterized by clogged court dockets. Courts are having a hard time in resolving the cases brought before them. Court-annexed mediation (CAM) was adopted to supplement the traditional due process (DPL) method of resolving cases. To understand how CAM speeds up the administration of justice, the CAM and DPL method was compared to determine the differences in the length of time and the amount of resources spent for case resolution. Interviews, archival research, and participant observations were conducted. The results revealed that CAM resolve cases in a short period of time involving lesser amount of resources spent compared to the DPL method. Though CAM proves to be a speedy and expedient method of case resolution, it is not yet able to solve the problem of clogged court dockets for the reason that it is still a new method of resolving cases.

    The political dynamics behind the renovation of Felix Gorriceta Jr. Avenue connecting Pavia-Mandurriao and its effects on property holders and PUV operators association
    Albaladejo, Christine Kate; Laude, Jennifer (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study looks into the political dynamics behind the implementation of the policy renovating the Felix Gorriceta Jr. Avenue in Pavia, Iloilo and its effects on two end-users—property holders as represented by Parc Regency, and transportation sector represented by the Leon Jeepney Operators and Drivers’ Association (LEJODA). The interrelationships between various levels of the government in the conceptualization of the infrastructure project is examined. It describes conditions of the area where the road stretches prior to the renovation; identifies the reasons why the policy was pursued; and examines how the policy on renovation affected the end-users. Interviews as well as secondary data were utilized in the study. The initiatives and funding for the project came out of a broader plan to integrate the road to the Iloilo airport from the national government, and subsequently chosen by the provincial government of Iloilo relative to other sites. The local government of Pavia had little role to play in its conceptualization, except for the necessary measures for the full implementation of the said policy. The policy conferred benefits to both end-users.

    Adaptive capacity of the local government to the impacts of climate change: Comparison between Guimbal and Tigbauan
    Andal, Jane Desiree F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011)
    The paper examined the factors affecting the adaptive capacity of the local government in terms of responsiveness and preparedness to deal with the impacts of climate change. This is focused on three factors namely, organizational learning, collaboration and socio-economic status. The study is conducted by comparing the municipalities of Guimbal and Tigbauan in terms of their organizational learning, collaboration and socio-economic status as well as their responsiveness and preparedness in dealing with typhoons, flooding, and drought as the major impacts considered in this study. The results show that organizational learning enhances the preparedness of the municipality to deal with the impacts while collaboration and socio-economic status enhance both responsiveness and preparedness to deal with the impacts of climate change.
