Euphemisms for Taboo Words: Iliganon’S Sociolinguistical Approach for Social Harmony
Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 6, No. 4, December 2019 doi:10.30845/jesp.v6n4p7 Euphemisms for Taboo Words: Iliganon’s Sociolinguistical Approach for Social Harmony Prof. Marilyn Tampos-Villadolid Department of Social Sciences and Humanities College of Education and Social Sciences Mindanao State University-Naawan 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines Dr. Angelina Lozada Santos Department of Filipino and Other Languages College of Arts and Social Sciences Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology 9200 Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Philippines Abstract Iliganon’s are local residents of Iligan City in Mindanao Island in southern Philippines. They are conservative and generally peace-loving. They do not provoke or start a discord or use a language that is socially unacceptable. Hence, words that have negative effect to listeners are taboo, and to push through the message they want to convey, euphemisms are used. Quota, purposive, and convenience samplings were utilized to attain the desired number of respondents classified as professionals and non-professionals, male and female. The open- ended questionnaire used contained a list of local taboo words which have heavy sexual meanings, repulsive dirt emanating from the body, and other words that evoked aversion to the sensibility of an ordinary person. The respondents listed the euphemisms they commonly used when speaking about these taboo words. Frequency count, percentage, ranking, and chi-square were used to interpret the data. Results showed that the respondents used 10,529 euphemisms for 62 taboo words under six groups. Both variables were found significant at .05 level of chi-square. Euphemisms were effectively utilized to conceal the socially unacceptable words in Iliganon’s speech.

Quiñones1*,Cesaria R. Jimenez1, Harry Kenn T. Dela Rosa1, Margarita C. Paghasian2, Jeanette J. Samson1, Dionel L. Molina1 and Jerry P. Garcia1 1Mindanao State University at Naawan, Naawan, Misamis Oriental 2Mindanao State University- Maigo School of Arts and Trades, Maigo, Lanao del Norte *corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT A one-year assessment on the fishery and reproductive dynamics of roundscads was conducted from September 2017 to October 2018 to determine the status of the fishery in Iligan Bay, including information on the socio-economic condition of the fishers in the Bay. The study used Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) conducted between September to October 2017 and secondary data to gather information on the number of fishers, type and number of boats, type of fishing methods and number of fishing gears, income, expenditure distribution, and non-fishery-based income sources as well as the fishers’ perception on issues and problems affecting their catches. The Bay had an estimated 15,357 fishers across all sites from 17 municipalities and two cities based on focus group discussions. Most fishers were from the province of Misamis Occidental or representing about 74% of the entire fisher population operating in the Bay. Iligan Bay has an artisanal or subsistence type of fisheries where most fishers rely mainly on traditional methods to harvest fish resources except for the commercial fishers operating the ring net or “kubkuban”.

Integrating Indigenous Knowledge System to Sustainable Agricultural Practices of Higaonon Tribein Claveria, Misamis Oriental

This paper tried to describe the indigenous sustainable agricultural practices of Higaonon tribe in Barangay Mat-i, Claveria, Misamis Oriental. Ocular field visit was done to gather data through interview and focused group discussions. Using grounded theory in analysing the data, results showed that beyond simplicity of their land measurement and marking, Higaonon tribe maintained orderliness in terms of land ownership and cultivation of crops. Major sustainable crops raised include the staple rice and corn, and other root crops and fruit-bearing trees. However, the modern technological practices of agriculture hinder the tribe in sustaining their indigenous knowledge and practices in farming. As such, they were left no option, except to adapt the new sustainable farming technologies as a modified farming practice apart from what are usually used by their tribe.

Forest Plant Community and Ethnomedicinal Study Towards Biodiversity Conservation of an Ancestral Land in Northern Mindanao
Forest Plant Community and Ethnomedicinal Study towards Biodiversity Conservation of an Ancestral Land in Northern Mindanao Mariche B. Bandibas1 and Proserpina G. Roxas2 1Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau Department of Environment and Natural Resources Los Baños, College, Laguna 2Mindanao State University at Naawan, Naawan, Misamis Oriental [email protected] ABSTRACT The dependence of many rural communities in the Philippines on herbal medicine represents a long history of human interactions with the environment. The use of plant resources as indigenous sources of cure for a wide variety of ailments has been part of traditional cultures, however, urban development and its sprawl into rural areas has somehow eroded this traditional practice. An assessment of the forest plant community within the vicinity of Lake Danao in the upland area of Naawan, Misamis Oriental was conducted to evaluate the status of biodiversity and ethnomedicinal value of plant resources and determine the community’s perceptions toward forest conservation. Standard methods in assessment of plant community structure were adopted. Knowledge, perceptions, and attitude of the respondents towards forest resources and ethnomedicinal plants were obtained through semi-structured interview. Extracts from five species of medicinal plants were tested for antibacterial action against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus using the disc diffusion method and using chloramphenicol as positive control. Sixty one species of trees, saplings and herbs belonging to 29 families were recorded in the survey. Acacia mangium, Leukosyke capitellata and Nephrolepis hirstula were the most numerically important plant species. Thirty-three out of 61 species have medicinal value to local residents which are used to treat various disorders.
