The employability of graduates: An assessment of the availment of scholarship and placement services of Central Philippine University Aberia, Rouella Cheyenne C.; Java, Margen A. This study was conducted to determine the employability of graduates by assessing the respondent’s availment of the services provided by the Scholarship and Placement Offices of the University. The one shot survey was used in the collection of data and the result and findings were presented in a descriptive analysis. Eight hundred seventeen respondents out of the 3, 943 listed alumni from batches 2005-2008 participated in this study. Results of the study showed that majority of the respondents were in their mid 20’s, mostly female and predominantly single. All the colleges were fairly represented, most of the respondents were from batch 2006-2007. Respondents were mostly from the College of Business and Accountancy. Majority did not avail of any scholarship, but for those who did, majority benefited from the Work Study Program, and availed of this for 4 years or until graduation. Most of those who availed were around 21-22 years old while students from BS Agricultural Engineering, AB Pol Sci & Pub Ad, BS Chemical Engineering and BS Chemistry ranked top in scholarship availment. As for employment, most of those who availed of scholarships are with job order/project based work now while those who did not avail are already employed as well. As to the availment of placement services, majority of the respondents availed of one or more of its services. Most of the alumni were permanently employed or with regular employment in a private company now, however a large number were also still unemployed. All batches, regardless of gender, had the same chances of availing PO services. Most of those who graduated ahead were already securely employed. Sex and civil status were not determinants of their employability, however their course on the other hand affected their availment of the said services. The result also showed that those graduates who availed of the placement services offered by the university have a greater chance of landing a job. Research report

The work students of Central Philippine University: Their economic background, living condition, peer relationship, problems encountered and coping strategy Aberia, Humar D.; Vergara, Prim C. This descriptive study attempted to determine the economic background, living condition, peer relationship, problems encountered, coping strategies, and level of satisfaction of the work students of Central Philippine University. Data for this investigation were gathered from 502 work students assigned to four work areas from September 5 to October 17, 2007 using a researcher-made data gathering instrument divided into seven sections. The instrument was face and content validated. Data gathered were analyzed using means and percentages and presented in frequency distribution tables. Result of the investigation showed that the respondents are 19.12 years old on the average, enrolled in more than 26 courses in the University, most come from the province of Iloilo, and are mostly first and second year college students. Most of them are from rural areas with an average of 6.56 members per family. Most of their family members are student, their father are mostly farmers or laborers, and their mothers are predominantly housekeepers. The family’s total monthly income averaged Php. 4,082.09. Most respondents live in their own house which is reportedly small, with leaking roof and constructed in their own lot. Those who reported problem on housing indicated that their house is under threat of demolition. Most obtained piped-in drinking and about half of them claimed to have flush toilets. While studying at CPU, most respondents rent a bed-space, for an average of Php. 811.05 per month, cook their food, use charcoal as fuel for cooking, and drink bottled water. Many boarding houses do not have separate toilet and bathroom for male and female boarders, have small bedrooms, for four persons and a space of 25.58 square feet per person. Most respondents wash their own clothes and iron them using charcoal and electricity. More respondents were found to be more friendly with their board-mates, than with their fellow work students and supervisor. The respondents employed various coping strategies to solve the problems they encountered while working and studying at Central Philippine University. The respondents are undecided on whether they are satisfied with their hourly rate or not. They are however satisfied with the work facilities, relationship with supervisor, work schedule, work load, study load, and area of assignment. Abstract only Full text available

Politics in Iloilo City: A study of Ilonggo perceptions on political patronage and dynastic politics in the post-EDSA period, 1986-2006 Saquibal, Ernesto S. Jr.; Saquibal, Ma. Lindy B. The study was conducted to examine the dynamics of politics in Iloilo City by looking into the ‘Ilonggos’ perceptions on the system of political patronage, the extent it is practiced by local politicians, and how these conditions influence their views toward ‘dynastic’ politics in the local level. The study surveyed 273 barangay officials in three of Iloilo City’s six districts –Lapaz, Jaro and City Proper from October 2006 to January 2007 using the cluster sampling and simple random techniques. The data was analyzed using SPSS and Chi-square and Gamma tests for statistical analysis. Results of the study based on the data culled from the respondents’ collated scores show that they have a positive perception towards political patronage, and that the extensive practice of patronage has greatly contributed to the election success of the City Mayor, Congressman and the barangay officials themselves in local politics. The data also show that the barangay officials tend to positively view the existence of ‘dynastic’ politics in the local level. Chi-square tests indicate that respondents’ socioeconomic characteristics are not significantly related to their perception towards political patronage. A similar test for association also shows that respondents’ perception towards political dynasty is not significantly associated with their incomes, educational achievement and membership in civic and political organizations. It is, however, worthy to note that those who have been ward leaders hold a positive view towards ‘dynastic’ politics. Interestingly, none of these ward leaders espoused a negative view on political dynasty. Gamma tests revealed that respondents’ perception on political patronage is significantly related to their perception on dynastic politics. This means that respondents who tend to view patronage positively hold a similar view towards political dynasty. The same statistical test shows a strong correlation between the respondents’ perception on political patronage and the extent of patronage. Conversely, the extensive practice of patronage is strongly associated with the respondents’ perception toward political dynasty. By and large, the study validates the hypothesis that the Ilonggos’ positive perception towards political patronage leads to its more extensive practice – a practice that ensures the electoral success of a politician (including his siblings) as long as he is able to sustain it. For as long as politicians are able to provide short-term benefits to their constituents and ensure the continuous flow of these goods and services, political loyalty and electoral support can be expected. Thus, this study, lends support to the thesis that politics in Iloilo City is largely determined by patronage practices of local politicians who necessarily come from ‘dynastic’ political families.
