    THE LUCKY ONE: A CONSTRUCTIVIST STUDY ON PAGEANT WOMEN‘S CONCEPTUALIZATION OF EMPOWERMENT MA. REGINA JANINA B. ALZAGA Submitted to the COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES University of the Philippines Manila In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS IN POLITICAL SCIENCE June 2015 ACKNOWLEDGMENT The completion of this thesis would not be, in any way, possible without the help and contribution of these significant people: First, my thesis adviser, Prof. Claire Berja, who has been so patient with me while it took me so long working on my data. Ma‘am Claire has been providing instructive and constructive comments, not to mention her words of wisdom, since the semester when I first presented my thesis proposal. I would also like to thank my research participants, the pageant titlists, for sharing their busy schedules with me just so I could have their insights and experiences as first- hand references for my research; as well as to my research informants, Prof. Nathalie Verceles of UP Diliman College of Social Work and Community Development, and Vian Bautista of GABRIELA-National, for giving their insights on women empowerment. Besides the technical help of the people mentioned above are the significant contributions - in the form of wisdom, encouragement, and good vibes - of some beloved people: Slye, who became my constant thesis buddy and adviser, and is - I believe - a gift from Heaven for me to endure hell, a.k.a. Polsci subjects plus Pre-Law plus thesis plus life in between combo; Krish, Vince, Anch, and the ―unit people‖, who genuinely tolerated me and my insanity for months-worth of all-nighters; Juris, Ger, and Ehcel, who went with me when I had to interview my research participants in different areas of QC; and other friends who gave me doses of cheer up and you can do it.
