  • Psychographics Study on the Voting Behavior of the Cebuano Electorate
    PSYCHOGRAPHICS STUDY ON THE VOTING BEHAVIOR OF THE CEBUANO ELECTORATE By Nelia Ereno and Jessa Jane Langoyan ABSTRACT This study identified the attributes of a presidentiable/vice presidentiable that the Cebuano electorates preferred and prioritized as follows: 1) has a heart for the poor and the needy; 2) can provide occupation; 3) has a good personality/character; 4) has good platforms; and 5) has no issue of corruption. It was done through face-to-face interview with Cebuano registered voters randomly chosen using a stratified sampling technique. Canonical Correlation Analysis revealed that there was a significant difference as to the respondents’ preferences on the characteristic traits of the presidential and vice presidential candidates across respondents with respect to age, gender, educational attainment, and economic status. The strength of the relationships were identified to be good in age and educational attainment, moderate in gender and weak in economic status with respect to the characteristics of the presidentiable. Also, there was a good relationship in age bracket, moderate relationship in gender and educational attainment, and weak relationship in economic status with respect to the characteristics of a vice presidentiable. The strength of the said relationships were validated by the established predictive models. Moreover, perceptual mapping of the multivariate correspondence analysis determined the groupings of preferred characteristic traits of the presidential and vice presidential candidates across age, gender, educational attainment and economic status. A focus group discussion was conducted and it validated the survey results. It enumerated more characteristics that explained further the voting behavior of the Cebuano electorates. Keywords: canonical correlation, correspondence analysis perceptual mapping, predictive models INTRODUCTION Cebu has always been perceived as "a province of unpredictability during elections" [1].

JURADO University of Santo Tomas Manila, Philippines Abstract: The United States as becoming world power, after winning the war in the World War II, it was planned to have their wealth invested to an international setting. Philippines, then was fully devastated, structures fully destroyed, economy failed, and its independence might be at stake. However, this oriental country would want this investment desperately for they needed reconstruction and rehabilitation. The Philippines would want to recover for they do not have the means of how to start anew due to financial losses during the war. The country has the man power, but no money to buy equipments, no industries to lean on to sell these raw materials, and no market or country to sell their harvest in the future. The United States would have a proposed plan to give the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the country, provided there will be a future trade relation between the United States and the Philippines. Later it was known as the US-Philippines Trade Relations of 1946. Hearings held in the United States Congress on April of 1946 to determine on what to take on to have their future executive agreement would be for the next 20 years. Meanwhile, while the hearings happens, United States are doing political moves, having measures on the relief and the rehabilitation of the Philippines, the campaign of the Philippine presidents, aligning their promise of independence for the Philippines and other means to attain their goal of investing in the countries to make the trade relations successful.

No. 248 INTRODUCED BY SENATOR ALAN PETER "COMPANERO" S. CAYETANO EXPLANATORY NOTE The Internet, Smart Phones, Digital media and the Cyberspace are advancements in technology that empower people, foster democracy, and encourage checks and balance. Legislators should pass laws that further promote the positive use of technology and not pass laws that curtail people's freedom of expression and creativity. This is elaborated in the Report of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression during the seventeenth session of the Human Rights Council: The Internet is one of the most powerful instruments of the 21st century for increasing transparency in the conduct of the powerful, access to information, and for facilitating active citizen participation in building democratic societies. Indeed, the recent wave of demonstrations in countries across the Middle East and North African region has shown the key role that the Internet can play in mobilizing the population to call for justice, equality, accountability and better respect for human rights. As such, facilitating access to the Internet for all individuals, with as little restriction to online content as possible, should be a priority for all States. l October 3, 2012 marks the effectivity date of Republic Act No. 10175, otherwise known as the "Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012". Unfortunately RA No. 10175 contains provisions that contravene the Bill of Rights of the 1987 Constitution.

  • Indigenous Nation-Building and State-Making
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Texas A&M Repository BUILDING FROM WITHIN: INDIGENOUS NATION-BUILDING AND STATE-MAKING DURING THE FILIPINO THIRD REPUBLIC, 1946-1957 A Dissertation by TRISTAN MIGUEL SANTOS OSTERIA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Jason C. Parker Committee Members, Terry H. Anderson Carlos K. Blanton Brian J. Rouleau Xinsheng Liu Head of Department, David Vaught December 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 Tristan Miguel Santos Osteria ABSTRACT This study looks at multiple expressions of indigenous agency in Filipino nation- state building from the attainment of Filipino independence in 1946 under the Third Republic. The study begins with postwar reconstruction under the Roxas administration, through the crisis and challenge years of the Quirino years, and the emergence of the strongman of the people, Ramon Magsaysay. Under whom, Filipino nation-making reached its peak years. The study concludes in 1957 with the untimely end of the Magsaysay administration, but with the emergence of a united Filipino people where citizens from all sectors came to be involved. This study argues that Filipinos possessed a natural aversion to communism, which the Third Republic used to consolidate Filipino support, and which prevented the Huks from taking over. Sources of Filipino unity included consolidating all ethnicities. Other sources were overcoming challenges, such as the Huk rebellion and integrating Chinese-Filipinos, Tagalog, and revisions in the educational curriculum. There were many debates surrounding Filipino sovereignty over US bases in the islands.
