(2004). <i>Civil society and the promotion of social capital: A case study of Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) in Igbaras, Iloilo in 1998 and 2003 local elections</i> [Undergraduate research project, University of the Philippines Visayas].

Among the activities of PPCRV are voter’s education, voter’s assistance and poll watching. Of these activities, most members focused more intensively on voter’s education. The members registered over all high levels of social capital. However, trust in the organization and its rules registered high level of approval compared to trust on other members. Cooperation with members in observing organization rules registered higher levels of approval compared to cooperation among members beyond organization rules. Association based on organization is higher compared to association among members beyond organization. Generally, PPCRV has generated a high level of social capital. This high level of social capital prompts members to work steadfastly even in the presence of transportation, financial and logistics constraints. This study examined social capital by surveying thirty-five (35) PPCRV members in Igbaras.xi, 55 p.Social capitalCivil societyPolitical participationVoter educationElectionsLG 993.5 2004 P6 C33Thesissocial capitalcivil societyparticipationpoliticsorganizationsSDG 16 - Peace, justice and strong institutionsSDG 10 - Reduced inequalitiesSDG 17 - Partnerships for the goals
