Abstract:

This study presents an analysis of Chinese trade ceramic data from a stratified burial site in the Philippines representing two main proto-historic periods in the 12th and 14th centuries A.D. An ethnographic model constructed from ethno-historical data is used to generate hypotheses which are evaluated by means of quantitative analyses designed to test for social complexity in each period. The results of analyses are then assessed in terms of symbolic patterns derived from the ethnographic model. The research framework includes the construction of a methodological structure designed to incorporate both processual and symbolic approaches to archaeological analysis. The Pila cultural system is treated as an open, non-homeostatic system incorporating tangible and intangible elements, some aspects of which are not amenable to exact definition or measurement. Major areas of focus include the trade sub-system, the social sub-system and the ritual subsystem. Hypotheses test for social differentiation in terms of wealth, descent, social roles, and specialization of function; for hierarchy and centralization in terms of corporate control; for symbolic content of artifacts and ritual patterns; and for culture change in terms of increased social complexity in the later period. Analyses involve the evaluation of quantitative differences in amount of goods; patterns of spatial distribution throughout the site and within individual burials; and comparisons of burial treatment between individuals and between sub-groups. Major areas of theoretical concern include the question of status differentiation in prehistory, and the extent to which inferences can be made from mortuary patterns; the relationship between material culture, social organization and ideology; and the effects of prolonged long-distance trade on the internal complexity of a cultural group. I conclude that in Pila, mortuary patterns represent an accurate reflection of socio-cultural patterns in general. The results of the analyses support the applicability of the ethnographic model of Pila as an egalitarian society with a prominent ideological component in which Chinese ceramics played an important role. I conclude that a recursive relationship is seen to exist between material culture, social organization and ideology. In particular, that the physical characteristics of Chinese ceramics, characterized by durability, resonance, impermeability and light-reflecting glazes, caused them to become closely identified with all aspects of ritual, and to reinforce the ideological patterns of Pila. These ideological patterns include a belief in powerful ancestor and nature spirits which control all aspects of life and death. Associated with this are petitionary rituals of every kind, conducted mainly within the family circle in a one-to-one relationship with the spirits, and involving the use of Chinese ceramics as important ritual objects. The mortuary data also indicates that culture change, characterized by a slight general increase in social complexity, occurred between the earlier and later cultural periods. This increase in social complexity appears to be associated with the long-standing trading contacts with China, in terms of economic impact as well as diffusion of certain cultural elements.

Full text

Abstract:

This study argues that women's gendered experiences record distinctive features of their subordinate yet resilient positions at home and in society. It portrays the work and lives of selected women in a changing peasant fishing community in the Philippines and suggests directions by which power relations implied in their personal, local, and global lives might be more fully grasped. Despite an underlying perception of 'separate spheres' reflected in such local notions of work as pangabuhi and pangita, the women pragmatically pursue 'public' and market-related roles and activities for the immediate 'private' requirements for their households' sustenance and reproduction. Nevertheless, they are less discerning, and thus, less active in negotiating their strategic interests as women. The recommendations underscore the socially constructed character of gender divisions so demystifying the myths that sustain them. Social development projects that assist but not exacerbate the burdens of rural women are also endorsed.

Abstract:

Students pursue different goals in school, which have been shown to influence a variety of educational outcomes. The achievement goal framework which focuses on mastery and performance goals is currently the most dominant paradigm for the examination of students‘ goals in the school setting. Numerous studies have shown the different consequences associated with the pursuit of mastery and performance goals. However, a limitation of achievement goal theory is its neglect of social goals which pertain to social reasons for studying. This is surprising given the importance of interpersonal relationships for adolescent students. Moreover, from a cross-cultural perspective, social goals seem to be even more salient for students from collectivist cultures due to the greater importance of the relational fabric in such societies. Therefore, the general aim of this study was to investigate the types, the structure, and the consequences of social goals in a collectivist cultural context. Five inter-related studies were conducted with Filipino secondary school students. Study 1 was a qualitative study which aimed to assess the different types of goals that students pursued. Results indicated that most of the goals pertained to social goals, and only a minority of these referred to the more commonly-researched achievement goals. Studies 2 and 3 aimed to examine the cross-cultural applicability of the 2 x 2 achievement goal model and the hierarchical and multidimensional model of social goals respectively in the Philippine setting. The 2 x 2 achievement goal model posits a distinction between four types of achievement goals: mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, performance-approach, and performance avoidance, while the hierarchical and multidimensional model of social goals construes social goals as a higher-order construct underpinned by five specific types of social goals: social affiliation, social approval, social concern, social responsibility, and social status. Results of these two studies indicated that these models were both applicable to Filipino students. As such, they were used in the subsequent studies. The aim of Study 4 was to test the relationships among achievement goals, social goals, academic engagement, and achievement. A longitudinal design was adopted and results indicated that social goals were the most salient positive predictors of academic engagement. They were also negative predictors of academic disengagement. Engagement and disengagement, in turn, mediated the impact of goals on subsequent academic achievement. Study 5 examined the relationships among achievement goals, social goals, and well-being. A longitudinal design was adopted, and results showed that mastery-approach and social goals were the most beneficial for well-being. Taken together, these studies showed the importance of investigating social goals alongside the oft-examined achievement goals given their greater salience and their causal dominance over achievement goals in predicting both achievement-related and broader well-being outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Threat serves as an impetus in the foundation, development, revitalization, and waning of the contemporary Philippine-United States alliance. Using Stephen Walt’s balance of threat theory as the analytical framework, this study proves that, historically, the dynamics of the Philippine-U.S. alliance revolves around the interaction of threat-centric issues and the member-state’s response. Threat serves as the prime mover of the alliance; foreign aid, ideological solidarity, and institutional penetration do not guarantee the alliance stability. They do, however, serve as critical factors in the alliance management. Shared or unshared existential threats with external overtones have a greater impact on the alliance. Moreover, internal security threats affect alliance efficiency. A coordinated approach is needed to confront and master them. The Philippine Communist Insurgency of the CPP-NPA-NDF, the South China Sea Dispute with China, the ambiguity of 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty provisions including its executory mechanisms, and U.S. strategic ambivalence in the case of conflict serve as disconnecting factors of the Philippine-U.S. alliance. These factors created and continue to create friction between the Philippines and the United States. This study recommends that the allies must align their threat assessments, resolve or manage disconnecting threats, and then address the ambiguity of the agreement through further research and deeper strategic discourse.

Full text

Abstract:

Scholarly publications and discussions provide differing views on what Social Entrepreneurship is (or is not) that result to a knowledge gap wherefrom this study’s departure point is drawn. Such gap allows interpretation that the adoption of business model can not be fully disregarded as part and parcel of social entrepreneurship (SE). Moreover, entrepreneurial activities within SE is seen by some as a possible source of self-sustenance. Therefore, this research explores and seeks to provide an understanding of the role of business model for social entrepreneurship from a sustainability perspective. Practical examples of social entrepreneurship in the Philippines are used where the context of the practitioners themselves are taken into account. Qualitative research with semi-structured interview that is compatible with social constructionism approach are employed to obtain contextual understanding of the role of business model for SE that this study aims to achieve. The findings indicate, among others, that the organisations studied are Social Enterprises precisely because they are able to apply business principles while doing social mission, and business model is a necessary sustainability ingredient for SE.

Introduction -- The Philippine environmental impact statement (EIS) system during the last decade -- Environmental impact assessment in Southeast Asia -- Environmental impact assessment: the donor agencies' perspective -- Donor agencies and the Philippine EIS system -- Synthesis and recommendations -- Bibliography -- Appendices.
This study documents and analyses the implementation of environmental impact assessment in the Philippines, comparing it with other Southeast Asian countries' EIA procedures with emphasis on the role of donor agencies. It concludes that the Philippine EIS system, in spite of some shortcomings, performed satisfactorily though implementation and enforcement ha/ a lot of room for improvement.--The Philippines has one of the most comprehensive EIA laws and policies in Southeast Asia. The Philippine Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) System has undergone four phases of implementation as evidence that there is a continuous effort in improving its application. Originally conceived as a regulatory tool, the EIS system has slowly moved to being a management tool to aid decision makers in selecting the best alternative after examining the trade offs between social needs, environmental concerns and economic and financial viability of a project or activity. Recent reforms in the EIA implementing rules and regulations are expected to further enhance the administration and overall utility of EIA in the Philippines.--The Philippine EIS System is well advanced in comparison with Southeast Asia and some Western EIA systems. It has strong legal and regulatory frameworks and guidelines and procedures for its implementation are well set up. Through time, there have been amendments such as the social acceptability concept to enhance public participation, specific guidelines for scoping and the requirement of Environmental Guarantee and Monitoring Funds for compliance monitoring, which aimed at improving EIA implementation. However, compliance and enforcement are still insufficient due to the inherent problem of lack of financial and human resources and political support.--Donor agencies have been influential in the formulation and improvement in EIA implementation in the Philippines. The initial environmental policy in the Philippines that was formulated with the assistance from the US government became the foundation of the preceding environmental laws and policies. The Philippines has obtained a fair amount of EIA technical assistance from bilateral and multilateral donors to support institutional capacity building and to train EIA implementors, project proponents and non-government organisations and to build and upgrade environmental management facilities and equipment. Donors have little influence in the actual conduct of EIA in the Philippines. The Philippine EIS system has the same requirements and procedures from local and foreign-funded projects and all project proponents are required to comply.

Full text

Abstract:

Background: Antibiotic treatment of humans was introduced in 1930. The drug improved the living conditions globally due to the fact that bacterial diseases now could be treated. The development of antibiotic resistant bacteria is undeniable and globalization increases the spread of the resistant bacteria. The main reason for the emergence of resistant bacteria are incorrect and excessive use of antibiotics. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate registered nurses’ experiences when caring for patients that have been subscribed antibiotic treatment. Method: A qualitative study with a semi-structured interview design based on interviews with eight nurses from one private hospital in The Philippines. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. Result: Three themes were identified in the study, “To increase compliance”, “Nurses’ knowledge of antibiotic treatment” and “The nurses’ reflections on antibiotic treatment”. The first theme describes how the nurses provide a safe and open-minded environment for the patients, how to support and encourage the patient during treatment and how to give comprehensible information to the patient. The second theme describes the nurses’ knowledge of the emergence of antibiotic resistance, reasons for antibiotic treatment, the manifestation of antibiotic resistance and also the effects of antibiotic resistance. The third theme describes the nurses’ reflections and thoughts concerning antibiotics as well as how they perceive the population’s knowledge of antibiotics. Discussion: All of the nurses highlighted the poverty in The Philippines as the main reason for poor compliance. A large part of the population cannot afford to consult a doctor which results in people treating themselves without the proper knowledge. A majority of the nurses therefore request health education provided from the government. A private hospital also strives to please the patient which can result in doctors prescribing a lot of antibiotics to please their patients.

Full text

Abstract:

The Philippines lies at the intersection of two global empires, having been under Spanish colonial rule from 1521-1898 and American colonial rule from 1899-1945. As a country that expresses a melange of cultures, both on the global and local level, Filipino national identity is constantly in debate. This thesis examines how literature in the Philippines can play a role in establishing a national identity in relation to the ways in which Filipinos of both the home country and the Filipino diaspora negotiate language. Analyzing José Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere (1887) alongside Jessica Hagedorn’s Dogeaters (1990) through the theoretical framework of the contact zone, a rejection of the third space, and deterritorialization shows that Filipino culture consumes imposing foreign cultures, dismantling even their label as foreign. Thus, the interaction between Filipino culture and colonial culture is a rich example of how to decentralize the Western gaze in postcolonial literary analysis.

Modernization theory posits that economic growth and democratization are mutually constitutive processes. I extend a recent literature that finds this relationship to be spurious due to the existence of a number of international factors, specifically the role of foreign capital. Through two-stage least square (2SLS) regressions for as wide a sample as the data allow and two case studies (Indonesia and the Philippines), I find that the presence of US capital significantly influences domestic political institutions. This relationship, however, is non-linear and interrelated with exogenous shocks.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper examines the role of the pioneer Filipino filmmaker Jose Nepomuceno and his films in the Philippine quest for independence and in the process of nation-building. As all of Nepomuceno's films are lost, most of the information was gathered from old newspaper articles on microfilm in different archives in Manila. Many of these articles were hitherto undiscovered. Nepomuceno made silent films at a time when the influence of the new coloniser, United States, was growing, and the Spanish language was what unified the intellectual opposition. Previous research on Nepomuceno has focused on the Hispanic influences on his filmmaking, as well as his connections to the stage drama. This paper argues that Nepomuceno created a national consciousness by making films showing native lives and environments, adapting important Filipino novels and plays to the screen and covering important political topics and thereby creating public opinion. Many reviews in the newspapers connected his films to nation-building and independence, as the creation of a national consciousness is a cornerstone in the process of building a nation and defining "Filipino". Furthermore, the films of Nepomuceno helped spreading the Tagalog culture and language to other parts of the Philippines, hence making Tagalog the foundation of the national Filipino language.

Full text

Abstract:

The evidence presented in this thesis supports the view that men and women participate in the labour force in qualitatively distinct ways and that, as a result, policies to increase female employment in the formal economy have an impact on economic development that is quite different from those whose aim is simply to increase employment with no regard to its gender composition. While it is well known that women's work is often underreported and undercounted, the thesis contends that women's "work" is also frequently defined incorrectly. From the point of view of development policy it is necessary to define women's work as embracing not only "productive" labour done for monetary gain, but also reproductive and volunteer work which, though not directly remunerated, have important feedbacks on other social, political and economic variables. Those feedbacks in turn may determine the success or failure of a particular "development" strategy.
This theory is applied to three "Asian miracle" developing countries, chosen because of their widely varied cultural, political and economic history and structures. The methodology employed is eclectic. Too often social research is bogged down in disputes between those who favour quantitative and those who favour historical-institutional analysis. In reality, especially when dealing with developing countries where there are serious problems of data quality, these two approaches can be mutually complementary. Therefore, in undertaking a comparative study of three cases, the thesis employs quantitative, historical-institutional and anthropological data along with information derived from interviews and field work.
The thesis demonstrates ample support for the hypothesis that women's labour has an importance over and above simply more hands at work, that the particular characteristics of female labour, not only produce direct payoffs in terms of development of certain types of manufacturing industries, but many indirect ones in terms of social variables like reduced fertility, increased life expectancy and greater educational attainment. However it also demonstrates that full actualization of these benefits in terms of economic prosperity, improved social welfare, and ultimately political democratization requires a state that is both willing and able (two distinct things) to implement social and economic policies designed explicitly to promote female employment in the formal economy.

Abstract:

« La más dificultosa y trabajosa de todas las demás » : l’ambassade d’Espagne à Rome sous Philippe III (1598-1621) Rome, centre spirituel de la chrétienté, capitale diplomatique de l’Europe, était d’une importance cruciale pour la Monarchie Catholique. Cette thèse est consacrée à l’étude de la représentation diplomatique de l’Espagne à Rome durant une période singulière à plusieurs égards. Le règne de Philippe III correspond en effet à un renouveau de la présence française à Rome, capable de rivaliser, après la fin des guerres de religion, avec la puissance espagnole. Le monarque inaugura, en outre, un nouveau type de gouvernement avec l’émergence d’un favori tout puissant, le valido, auquel il consentait à déléguer une grande partie de son pouvoir. Enfin, ce règne est caractérisé par l’instauration d’une période de paix, connue sous le nom de Pax Hispanica, par laquelle Philippe III mit fin aux conflits ouverts que son prédécesseur avait engagés avec l’Angleterre et avec les Pays-Bas, tandis qu’il devait mettre en application la paix de Vervins signée avec la France peu avant son accession au trône. Ce travail s’attache à analyser de quelle façon ces circonstances affectèrent la pratique diplomatique de l’Espagne à Rome et dans quelle mesure le Saint-Siège intervint dans le maintien de la paix en Europe. Il s’agit de pénétrer au cœur même de l’ambassade d’Espagne près le Saint-Siège pour en comprendre, dans un premier temps, le fonctionnement, dans ses aspects institutionnels et matériels. Cette analyse permet d’appréhender la multiplicité des figures de la représentation espagnole à Rome parmi lesquelles se distingue celle, encore mal connue, du cardinal protecteur du royaume de Castille. En s’intéressant à l’activité des six ambassadeurs ordinaires du monarque, ce travail met aussi en évidence leurs réseaux de renseignement et de clientèle et les stratégies déployées par chacun d’entre eux pour faire valoir les intérêts de l’Espagne et consolider la faction espagnole du Sacré Collège. Cette thèse contribue enfin à mettre en lumière l’articulation entre les objectifs internationaux de la monarchie espagnole et ceux du Saint-Siège durant la période singulière de la Pax Hispanica
« La más dificultosa y trabajosa de todas las demás »: the Spanish Embassy in Rome in the reign of Philip III of Spain (1598-1621) Rome, spiritual centre of Christianity, modern Europe’s diplomatic capital, was crucial for the Catholic Monarchy. This thesis studies the Spanish diplomatic representation in Rome during this very specific period, in several aspects. The reign of Philip III of Spain matches with a charismatic renewal of the French presence in Rome, its capacity to compete with the Spanish power after the end of Wars of Religion. This reign will indeed usher in a new type of government thanks to the emergence of a powerful favourite, the valido. The monarch will agree to delegate him most of his power. Eventually, this period’s characteristic is the instauration of a peaceful period, known as Pax Hispanica, through which Philip III will end the conflicts its predecessor had opened with England and the Netherlands, whereas he must implement the Peace of Vervins he had signed with France before he sat on the throne. This thesis is focused on the analysis of the impact of such circumstances on the Spanish diplomacy in Rome and explains how the Holy See intervened in maintaining peace in Europe. This thesis accesses the Spanish Embassy close to the Holy See in order to understand how it works, its institutional aspects and materials. This analysis enables to understand the Spanish multiplicity of represented figures in Rome, among which we can distinguish, though very quite unknown, the Cardinal Protector of Castille Kingdom. Focusing on the activity of the six ordinary Ambassadors of the Monarch, this work highlights its information and clientele networks, and the strategies implemented to enforce Spain’s interests and to strengthen the Spanish faction of the College. Eventually, this thesis contributes to highlight the difference between the Spanish and Holy See international intentions during the specific period of Pax Hispanica

Abstract:

This thesis examined student knowledge about the nature, scope, causes and responses to poverty, student perceptions of the emphasis in the school curricula on poverty and development, student attitudes to poverty and the factors that influence such knowledge and attitudes. Knowledge and attitudes at the end of primary school were compared with those after four years of secondary school in three nations, Australia. The Philippines and Zimbabwe, involving 1296 surveys and 188 interviews. The investigation draws on earlier work in Ireland (Regan, 1996). and is a response to the recent emphasis on the role of schools in development education in Europe (Lemmers, 2001) and the call for a greater emphasis in Australia on this area (Simons. Hart and WTalsh, 1997). The survey compared student understanding with current 'knowledge' in the literature and the interview allowed an examination of the stories students constructed about people in poverty, including their cognitive and affective responses to people in poverty. Results showed that whilst almost all students recognised that poverty exists, they were more likely to define it simply as a lack of income than as a phenomenon involving social power and self esteem. Few students were aware that the majority of the world's poor are female. Nationality was an important predictor of student knowledge and values. Australian students considered nationally based causes (e.g., government, education) to be more important than personal qualities (e.g., laziness) or international causes (e.g., powerful countries). Australian students were also more likely to value hedonism, but it could not be demonstrated conclusively that this affected the ways that they defined poverty and its causes. Filipino students were more likely to perceive poverty as being the fault of the person experiencing poverty and were more pejorative towards the poor. Whilst Filipino and Zimbabwean students considered that they had learnt a lot about poverty, few Australian students thought this to be the case. Students in senior secondary school were not well informed of current understandings about poverty and development and did not possess a significantly greater knowledge than primary school students on these matters. Specifically. current school practices allow students to perceive poverty as primarily income related and do not place due emphasis on internationally related causes.

Abstract:

There is much said about how to support a client as a social worker. Much is based on the country's politics, structure, organization, norms, but also on the values, knowledge, and responsiveness of social workers. When a country is exposed to poverty, social work takes a certain kind of shape and direction based on several viewpoints. The world has its eyes on developing countries with many poverty reduction recommendations, but how do social workers, living and working in a country with high poverty, express their reality? This study aims to, in a Philippine context, examine professional social workers perception of poverty and identify their approach to poverty alleviation and clients living in poverty. A qualitative study, with eight semi-structured interviews was hold plus one group interview including two respondents. All respondents were professional social workers that worked with poverty reduction in various ways. The thematic analysis was made with the framework of Human Development and Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach theory. The result shows that the efforts to reduce poverty in the Philippines require long-term thinking where respondents' mostly have the task of changing communities and clients' values. The respondents’ perceptions of poverty is that it is a condition that can be changed as long as the individual living in poverty makes active choices. The conclusions show that the major approach the respondents have, is to work with clients potentials and mindset by aware them to see what they actually can do for themselves. Almost all of the respondents use their own background as a motivator to support clients out of poverty and they approach their clients with patience, attention, belonging, and love, which can lead to minimizing obstacles that may be in the way of increasing the well-being of clients. On the other hand, the results show that it is the individual's responsibility to change his or her situation and a common perception among the respondents' is that education is the key to reduce poverty.

Abstract:

Judicial review has been under attack for being anti-democratic since a non-representative and unaccountable court interprets and enforces the constitution. Critics of judicial review, particularly the popular constitutionalists, argue that the legitimate interpretation of the constitution can only come from the people, by themselves or through their representatives in the government. This case study investigates the role of judicial review in the anti-corruption agenda of abolishing the Pork Barrel System in the Philippines. The Pork Barrel System refers to collective body of rules and practices that facilitated political corruption by providing pork funds to individual politicians – legislators and the President – and granting them control over said funds in violation of several constitutional principles. The case is unique because it presents a situation wherein resort to the representative or political branches of the government proved to be difficult, if not inutile, and resort to the judiciary through judicial review proved to be an available and adequate means to advance the anti-corruption agenda. Using a qualitative case-based research design with legal analysis, and contextual description as research tools, this study demonstrates how judicial review can be a change agent and a human rights mechanism.

Abstract:

Almost 250 years ago, ‘gang-masters’ – those who mediated between rural employers and roving bands of migrant workers - were vividly brought to life within the pages of Marx’s Capital. By contrast the modern-day phenomenon of how paid-for labour market intermediaries – temporary staffing agencies and their rural ‘gangmaster’ counterparts – construct transnational workforces remains remarkably undocumented, let alone theorised. Similarly, although a burgeoning literature sheds light on the increasing privatisation of international migration flows, the precise role of profit-seeking ‘recruiters’ within a broader migration industry remains underexposed. This thesis explores how - and why - agencies recruited migrant workers from his or her home countries and placed them in temporary employment in the UK. In response to the apparent growing significance of temporary staffing agencies in facilitating migration into the UK from the EU8 countries of Central and Eastern Europe, as well as from beyond the EU, the research was funded by an ESRC CASE studentship. Evidence was gathered from qualitative interviews conducted with representatives of agencies in the UK, in Poland, the Philippines, and Australia, as well as with a range of respondents from government departments, labour organisations, regulatory bodies, and journalists in all four countries. The multi-scale fieldwork sites were selected in order to offer a comparative analysis of variable institutional and regulatory settings. Within the following pages I argue that agencies in both the origin countries, as well as in the UK, made markets in the recruitment and supply of temporary migrant workers; selling migration to recruits, and migrant workers to client employers in the process. Activities of agencies were highly embedded within the precise institutional and regulatory regime that resulted from the interaction between that in place in the origin country as well as that in the UK. The thesis seeks to contribute empirically and conceptually to a growing literature which exposes the behaviour of temporary staffing agencies within national labour markets as well as the migration industry literature which looks at the behaviour of actors which transport workers between national labour markets.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited.
This research identifies the Acquisition Process of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Modernization Program, particularly the role, functions and importance of Program Managers (PM) and Program Management Teams (PMT) in the overall process. The Modernization Program, including acquisition processes for new systems, is a new experience to the AFP. Apparently, the organization intends to optimize the acquisition process for new systems by ensuring an effective and accountable organization structure that would sustain AFP modernization efforts and capabilities. Presently, PMs and PMTs in the structure are temporary and have no concrete role delineation in the acquisition process. Their function and responsibilities are limited to AFP Major Service requirement generation process only. Likewise, this research will introduce the US DoD acquisition system and illustrate DoD PMs and IPTs role and functions in the defense programs. The paper will show the importance of the PM and IPTs to the overall life cycle of any system. By comparative analysis, the research will reveal limitations in the AFP approach. The US Acquisition model, relative to PMs and PMTs, will be useful for improving the AFP process, after all, US has proven itself successful in acquisition projects.

Abstract:

Reproductive controversies are never only about reproduction and health. They serve as proxies for more fundamental questions about citizenship, the state, national identity, class and gender. In a post-colonial context such as the Philippines, where a particular historical relationship between the Church and the state has developed, policymaking on reproduction, sexuality and health answers to both development goals and religious norms. At the same time, women's everyday frameworks of (reproductive) meanings are also inextricably bound with state policies and popular culture. My ethnographic study examines the relationship between state governance, religion, reproductive politics, and competing understandings of embodied sexual morality. My study argues that at the heart of the complex politics involved in policymaking on reproductive health in the Philippines is the entanglement of national and religious identities. Reproductive policy then operates as a frame through which the politics of the nation, religion and the state get filtered and played out. Taking the Philippines as a case study, I focus on women's `lived religion' and practices; the local, national and international institutions and actors that exert influence on reproductive policy and popular sentiment; and how these shape women's reproductive practices in the context of everyday life. Through the women's narratives, I show how class, gender and religion work in tension with one another. Lastly, the study also investigates how the historical entanglement between religion and the state configures practices of governance, such as policymaking, in postcolonial contexts.

Philippine has turned herself from an astonishing democracy into an under-developing country in past few decades since her independence. On the political aspect, Philippine has gone through a series of capricious institutional changes. On the economic aspect, she puts herself into the embarrassing situation of dependent development, which means Philippine depends heavily on the capital and loan abroad. This paper will focus on the evolution of government-business coalition in Philippine. By examining the triangle relationship between the state, the local capitalists, and the foreign enterprises, and also the role and activities of Philippine’s state, we will try to analyze the causes for Philippine’s under-developing situation. This paper will divide Philippine’s history into three stages, and proceed one after one. In the early stage since Philippine’s independence, we find out that the corruption of bureaucracy and rent-seeking behaviors were too popular in this period to build an institution of rule of law which hampered many reforms and put this young country into all kinds of hazardous situations. The socio-economic liaison was presented on the landlords’ predominant power, which contradicted the autonomy of the state. At the second stage, Marcos’s dynasty, things were very different from the bottom-up pattern in the previous stage. Marcos strengthened and enlarged his private government-business coalition to pursue the goals of capital accumulation and deprivation, which is also known as “crony capitalism”, by his political power. The socio-economic pattern was mainly top-down during Marcos’ dictatorship. As for now, Philippine is going through a stage of re-democratization. On the one hand, the state has realized the importance of cooperation with the private enterprises to promote her economic performance. On the other hand, the private enterprises also know how to utilize the state’s dependent situation to strengthen their political-economic power. Therefore, the socio-economic pattern in this period is inter-dependent and inter-active, which is quite novel to the previous two stages.

Full text

Abstract:

Across many upland watersheds in developing countries, declining land health is constraining the land-use options that are available to farmers and the profitability of farming livelihood. In the Philippines, the government's land management strategies have varied in objectives and the extent to which they consider environmental and socioeconomic aspects. Demonstrated impacts have been patchy at best, especially with multiple stakeholders having different priorities on land-use and often-competing livelihood goals. This thesis uses an integrated assessment framework to understand and reconcile farmers' and external stakeholders' perceptions about the complexity and dynamics of land-use and livelihoods in the Cabulig watershed, southern Philippines. It aims to analyze the current land-use and livelihoods conditions and trends, investigate the drivers of land-use and livelihood change, explore the future that farmers and external stakeholders aspire to, and examine the willingness and capacity of farmers to adopt and invest in sustainable land-use. These are accomplished using a mixed-methods approach and a numerical modelling approach using Bayesian networks (BN). The research reveals the transition in the Cabulig watershed from swidden cultivation in forests to smallholder farming, and then into commercial and plantation agriculture. Current land-uses are usually not suitable for the landscape positions where they are located; this is true under existing management systems and, for most crops, even with the best management practices. Livelihoods have diversified from subsistence to a mix of on-farm, off-farm and non-farm activities. Farming alone is no longer feasible. While farmers' decisions and strategies are determined by their farms' biophysical conditions, available land, financial capital and labour, experience and knowledge, external factors also played a major role. Factors at the watershed level include demographic changes, governance relating to policies and institutions, and the recent shift to the plantation economy. Two types of farmers emerged based on their aspirations: 'prosperous' and 'survivalist'. Most farmers fall into the survivalist category and expressed a preference for agricultural crops. Decision-makers and researchers are supportive of the farmers' crop preferences but not their preferred agriculture-based land-use; they would prefer farmers adopt agroforestry/tree-based systems. Farmers preference reflects the watershed's current extension activities focusing on changing crops and not the systems. Farming aspirations, slope and perceived risks of typhoons are the most significant factors influencing farmers' willingness to change (WTC) land-use. Their capacity to do so is affected by their available financial capital, education, land-use values and reasons (for wanting to make a change). The BN model on farmers' WTC land-use revealed current land-use as the most influential variable while the capacity to change (CTC) BN model emphasized the availability of financial capital. Using a scenario of improved access to extension, the WTC model suggests that in villages currently with poor access to extension, the probability that farmers would be willing to change their current land-use into agriculture increases (at the expense of agroforestry/tree-based farms). The CTC model with a scenario of improved financial availability suggests an increased probability of farmers' CTC land-use. Development interventions in the Cabulig watershed needs to shift from the current focus on the technical aspects of land-use to improving farmers' livelihood capitals, especially financial. This needs to be matched with effective and appropriate extension program that promotes agroforestry/tree-based systems for restoring upland watersheds. These extension programs need to be more balanced and holistic considering farmers' livelihood needs, aspirations and capabilities as well as environmental sustainability.

Abstract:

In response to the nursing shortages, hospitals in the U.S. have been filling nursing positions by hiring foreign nurse graduates (FNGs). Filipino nurses represent the majority of all FNGs recruited to work in the U.S. Although Filipino nurses are not new to U.S. hospitals, very few studies have detailed how Filipino nurses have adjusted to U.S. nursing practice. The purpose of this study was to explore how Filipino nurses' perceived their role performance in the U.S. Using grounded theory as the methodology and symbolic interactionism as the philosophical underpinning, the principal investigator (PI) developed a substantive theory using a constant comparative method as the analytical approach. The PI used convenience and theoretical sampling to recruit 31 English-speaking female Filipino RNs practicing in Texas. One interview was conducted with each participant and the data were transcribed verbatim. The PI followed Strauss and Corbin's analytic steps to examine all cases, and the rigor of the theory was safeguarded by following the criteria of evaluation. All participants experienced challenges while adjusting to the U.S. healthcare system and American society due to differences in cultural expectations and experiences. The theory explains the processes of Filipino nurses' transition to U.S. nursing practice. The core variable was "transitioning from Filipino to U.S. nursing practice," which was shaped by nine relational categories. Based on descriptions from these Filipino nurses, it was clear that role transitioning from the Philippines to the U.S. is a complex phenomenon influenced by the meanings and expectations derived from these nurses' prior context in the Philippines. This theory should be beneficial to the many entities involved with or invested in Filipino nurses' migration by providing knowledge about their role transitioning. However, these findings cannot be applied to all Filipino nurses. Future research studies are needed to expand the scope of this theory and to empirically test it. Filipino nurses perceived that unethical actions were constantly taking place, regardless of existing rules and regulations. However, these nurses did little to correct or address the problems or ethical lapses themselves. Advocacy efforts are needed to ensure full understanding of immigration laws and policies to ensure fair work practices for Filipino nurses working in the U.S.

Abstract:

Many developing countries, rich with natural resources, have turned to tourism as a source of national growth and subsequently an increasing amount of local communities are being "developed". Despite its importance to developing countries, tourism has been covered scarcely in the literature on development studies. Local communities that find themselves in a situation having to deal with tourism related development, face many challenges. Contrary to previous work on development which considered poor local communities a threat to the natural environment, current views emphasise the role of the community in bringing about participation, conservation and consequently Sustainable Development. Therefore, if tourism can be seen as a possible path to Sustainable Development, the role of the local community in its development is of vital importance. This research investigates the role of the local community in integrating conservation in tourism related development by means of a case study on Apo Island.
