Abstract

The purpose of this study is to show how food heritage, specifically Filipino Pancit, define the culture oftheir citizens, investigate the efforts of Local Government Units (LGUs), and examine the role of a selectedHigher Educational Institution (HEI) as a partner of LGUs in safeguarding food heritage. The researcher used frameworks from international and national cultural agencies and researchers. Observation and in-depth interviews were also used for the documentation process through case study technique, which examined the aspects of statutory control and safeguarding mechanisms to determine the political prioritiesof involved LGUs and the selected HEI’s role in safeguarding food heritage in the islands of Luzon,Philippines. Findings suggest that LGUs’ sheer political will, knowledge, and awareness on issues onheritage conservation, openness, sustainable practices, and multi-stakeholder participation are essential inrobust protection vis-à-vis culture and heritage conservation. This comes with the active participation ofstakeholders, especially academic institutions, which provide expertise and extra leg work on researchbacked by their advocacy rooted on Filipino identity and sustainability to support policies of the government.Ultimately, research-based policymaking is key to open opportunities not just on intangible cultural heritagelike Filipino Pancit but on culture and heritage conservation in general.

Abstract

Community-Based Tourism is seen for having a huge impact on rural communities in the Philippines and many countries. It is generally known for its pro-poor implications that deliver socio-cultural, ecological, and economic benefits to steer a community if directed with strong policies. CBT has a great potential on elevating the said aspects of a locality for community development. Hence, the researchers attempted to comprehensively determine the perceptions of key actors in CBT with quantitative approaches to shed light on its costs and benefits in the communities of Romblon province in the Philippines. Through quota sampling, a total of 400 residents were surveyed to determine their positive and negative perceptions towards CBT. Structural Equation Modeling was utilized as the statistical analysis tool to impute relationships on the latent variables; sustainable tourism development, politico-administrative affairs and climate, and citizen participation. The model provided empirical evidence that CBT activities positively affect the latent variables in Romblon province. The findings contributed to the great importance of politico-administrative affairs and climate as a support system to enhance tourism laws and programs. The authors, moreover, advocated for further improvements on sustainable tourism development and citizen participation. Among recommendations, in order to assist the tourism stakeholders in the development of CBT, this study proposed sustainable tourism programs focused on enhancement of the quality of life of the locals, fostering collaborations among institutions and the people, and for a sustainable growth of Romblon province

Abstract

Pagbalangkas is a Filipino term, which means formulation or conceptualization. And in the conceptualization of a place branding strategy, such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS), stakeholders, specifically the government sector, must understand different factors and aspects of sustainable development. This study explicated the different issues and opportunities for conservation, and sustainable development, specifically for Samar Island Natural Park (SINP), Philippines. Specifically, the study also determines the associations of different efforts mandated and implemented by different government agencies both from the national and local, assessing the impacts and effects of current and potential plans and programs for conserving and sustaining SINP as a future UNESCO WHS and to conceptualized a framework that would highlight the basic factors on place branding development based on the case of SINP. The research used a qualitative-case study design, specifically by measuring information through focus group discussion (FGD) and content analysis on available government-issued documents. Participants from the FGD were representatives from different government agencies from the national, regional, local, and people’s organizations. The gathered information was analyzed through a repertory grid. Based on the research, conceptualizing a place branding development, such as UNESCO WHS, must determine the government organizations, institutions, and systems framework, situation analysis of the place and its community, issues, and opportunities manifested.

Abstract

War on drugs campaign commenced in the Duterte Administration in 2016. The campaign resulted to worldwide criticisms which spread negative word-of-mouth about the Philippines. The study applied the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) by Ajzen and Fishbein (1991) to test the negative word-of-mouth (WOM) communication regarding war on drugs to tourists’ intention to visit the Philippines. Structural Equation Modelling was utilized to determine the relationship among the three factors of TPB namely, Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Perceived Behavioural Control to tourist intention. The data was collected from 242 foreign passport holders and through an interview conducted with the Department of Tourism (DOT). The result of the study reveals that Attitude does not affect tourist intention to travel. On the other hand, Subjective Norm has the strongest influence on tourist intention followed by Perceived Behavioural Control but does not necessarily affect their decision-making behaviour towards visiting the Philippines regardless of the campaign.

Abstract

Despite numerous local and international statutes on their acceptance in mainstream employment, persons with disabilities (PWDs) still experience various forms of discrimination. The actions that the PWDs get may result in the way how other people treat them, or the improper stereotypes that the employers perceive them to be. Hence, underemployment among PWDs is still one of the problems in the society, mainly because some are having difficulties in being employed due to their condition. Persons with Disabilities have been fighting for their rights in the workforce for a long time in the Philippines. Despite all the efforts of the government and advocacies of the private sector, employment among PWDs has been difficult and rigorous. There have been different multi-sectoral movements to lobby for change especially in the hospitality sector. Hence, focusing on the views of the key-players are the main objective of this investigation. The goal of this paper is to understand the view of government and private sectors in hiring PWDs in the hospitality establishments of the National Capital Region (NCR) of the Philippines. Phenomenology, a qualitative type of technique, was employed in the study. The researchers collected the data through semi-structured face-to-face interviews and implemented a thematic analysis to create themes based on extracted codes. The findings of this study come from the views of public and private sectors, the government’s involvement, the implementation of Republic Act 7277 or Magna Carta for PWDs, and the hiring process associated with hiring PWDs. The researchers concluded that the government and private sectors are gearing towards inclusive growth by hiring PWDs in the National Capital Region, Philippines, despite the social stigmas associated with hiring them.
