Published: January 2024

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant respiratory complications in affected individuals. Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) devices, specifically Acapella and blow bottle devices, have been widely used in respiratory rehabilitation, particularly in patients with pulmonary diseases and post-surgical respiratory complications. However, their efficacy in post COVID-19 patients has been less explored.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Acapella and blow bottle devices in improving oxygen saturation, peak expiratory flow rate, shortness of breath, and six-minute walk distance in post COVID-19 patients.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted at Tehsil hospital Kot Addu over six months. Forty-eight post COVID-19 patients were divided equally into two groups: one group received treatment with the Acapella device, and the other with a blow bottle device. Baseline and post-treatment measurements of oxygen saturation, peak expiratory flow rate, and six-minute walk distance were recorded using a pulse oximeter, peak expiratory flow meter, and six-minute walk test, respectively.
Results: On day 1, the Acapella group showed a mean oxygen saturation rank of 20.98 with a sum of ranks of 503.50 (p=0.79), while the Blow Bottle group had a mean rank of 28.02 and a sum of ranks of 672.50. By day 7, the Acapella group's mean rank was 17.31 (sum of ranks = 415.50, p=0.000) compared to the Blow Bottle group's 31.69 (sum of ranks = 760.50). For peak expiratory flow rate, no significant differences were found between the groups at day 1 (Acapella: mean rank = 28.06, sum of ranks = 673.50, p=0.078; Blow Bottle: mean rank = 20.94, sum of ranks = 502.50) and day 7 (Acapella: mean rank = 23.77, sum of ranks = 570.50, p=0.717; Blow Bottle: mean rank = 25.23, sum of ranks = 605.50). Similar trends were observed in the six-minute walk test results.
Conclusion: The study found that both Acapella and blow bottle devices effectively improve oxygen saturation in post COVID-19 patients, but do not significantly affect peak expiratory flow rate, shortness of breath, and six-minute walk distance. These findings suggest that while these devices are beneficial for enhancing oxygenation, a more comprehensive respiratory rehabilitation approach is necessary for addressing the full spectrum of respiratory complications in post COVID-19 patients.
Nigerian Media’s Perception of the “One Belt, One Road” Initiative--A Corpus-based Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Wang Xiaohui
Published: January 2024

As the largest economy and a major energy country in Africa, Nigeria formally joined the "the Belt and Road" initiative in 2018, and the cooperation between China and Nigeria based on the initiative has achieved fruitful results. However, there is no research on Nigeria's real understanding of the initiative. Using Transitivity System and the Appraisal Theory as the analysis framework and AntConc and UAM Corps Tool as analysis tools, this paper studies the reports on the "the Belt and Road" by three mainstream media in Nigeria: the National Daily, the Guardian and the Leadership. The study found that most Nigerian media reports showed a positive attitude, but a few reports reflected their misinterpretation of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, which may be affected by the malicious advocacy of western countries.

Evaluation Schema in the Sendong Survivors’ Narratives
Authors: Carreon-Alicando Merceditha
Published: January 2024

The conversational/everyday story is the least studied of the two primary forms of narratives: literary and conversational/everyday. Though some studies on the schemas or elements comprising conversational narratives, most of these are from Western perspectives. To address this gap, this paper determines the types and features of the evaluation schema reflected in the oral narratives of personal experiences of the typhoon Sendong (Washi) survivors in the barangays of Sta. Filomena, Hinaplanon, and Santiago of Iligan City, Philippines. Forty informants (40) were asked to describe their Sendong experiences orally, and audio-recorded interviews were transcribed. The narrative clauses were coded using Labov and Waletzky’s six narrative schema model as the main framework highlighting the evaluation schemas of these narratives. Results showed two general evaluation schemas in the Sendong narratives: the external evaluation and the embedded/internal evaluation. It is also revealed in the study that evaluation schemas can also be categorized based on content. These typologies include individual evaluation, collective evaluation (which could be inclusive or exclusive), outsider’s evaluation, and the “you” evaluation. The study concludes that the presence of these culture-specific types of evaluation (other than the individual evaluation) reflects the collectivistic culture of the Filipinos, that of focusing more on the “we” than the “I” as depicted in the evaluative comments of the Sendong survivors in this study.
Pagsasalin sa Filipino ng Sugilanon ni Marcelo Geocallo: Tungo sa Pagsusulong ng Panitikan ng Rehiyon
Authors: Quilab Marina
Published: January 2024

This paper features the translation of a sugilanon written by a Visayan writer Marcelo Geocallo. His piece of work is written in Cebuano language commonly considered as Binisaya and has been translated into Filipino. Translating this sugilanon gives the wider audience access to understand and evaluate the characteristics — its aesthetics and poetics. Apart from the translation, this paper also focuses on the context of the work and how it describes the society of Lanao del Norte and Mindanao in general. The researcher is a native speaker of Binisaya and this is a big help in translating the text into Filipino language. In relation to literary translation, the original form of words and expressions with cultural and technical meaning is sustained. More attention is paid to the context of the work. Thus, this paper proves that translation is also a creative creation. On the other hand, the sugilanon describes and narrates the life and experience of the people of Lanao shaped by the experiences of the migration or dislocation of indigenous people to remote areas, land grabbing, illegal logging, and the impact of industrialization. This sugilanon also reflects the preservation of traditional practices of the indigenous people despite modern advances and technology. In this story, the main character Sultan Malawi shows sincere love and care for the forest that is the source of their livelihood and the history of their race.

The 1902 Battle of Bayang from the American perspective
Authors: Magdalena Federico
Published: January 2024

This article revisits the May 2, 1902 Battle of Bayang, a village in Lanao, the scene of the first deadly encounter between the United States Army and the Meranaw Moros (Muslims of Mindanao). It probes into the events that led to this incident, depicting the retaliatory expedition led by Col. Frank Baldwin against the beleaguered Meranaw warriors under the sultan of Bayang who bravely stood their ground amid a powerful occupying army. Despite the mediation effort of an influential imam, Sharif Afdal, the two parties engaged each other that saw the death of hundreds of Meranaw compared to the few casualties on the American side. The war is an epitome of the brutal colonial program to crush all opposition along the way, using might with little diplomacy and lack of understanding of the local culture. The conquerors won the war but failed to stifle the resistance that persisted even after they left Mindanao. Lanao serves as a showcase of indigenous struggle against foreign domination, and the eventual state formation that made Moroland an unwilling part of it.
The Philippines-China Maritime Dispute: Mapping Post-Arbitration Narratives and Ways Forward
Authors: Odchigue Bill
Published: January 2024

This study mapped out post-arbitration narratives to comprehend the power play in the Asia-Pacific region and to survey reasonable options for the resolution of the maritime dispute of the Philippines and China. The PCA rendered its decision on the SCS Arbitration to China's rejection on July 12, 2016. Six years later, the Award failed to resolve the region's geopolitics and geoeconomics and reached an enforcement deadlock. The non-recognition and absence of UNCLOS enforcement mechanism, the inadequacies of the state-level conditions of the Philippines which stands in stark contrast to the preponderance of China, the structural realist ASEAN consensus, and US non-aligned position on competing claims have notably incentivized the aggressive resolve of China in the SCS. However, diplomatic activism grounded on mutual interests and advantages on economic, political and administrative imperatives are potential pathways for settlement. This is rather a delicate exercise if China should not take the lead. In the foreseeable future, the Philippines will maintain playing the waiting game in terms of enforcing its rights outlined in the ruling, as paths forward remain unlikely to deliver a modus vivendi for both countries given current state-level conditions and surrounding international circumstances.
Libog mo, Libog ko: Ang Kalibugan at ang mga Pagnanasa sa mga Akda ni Eros Atalia
Authors: Quilab Marina
Published: January 2024

Nilayon ng papel na ito na maipakita sa mga akda ni Eros Atalia ang kahulugan ng “libog”. Magkaiba ang kahulugan ng salitang ito sa wikang Filipino kung ikumpara sa pagpapakahulugan ng wikang Bisaya. Ganunpaman, pinaniniwalaang magkaugnay lamang ang konsepto sa dalawang nabanggit na wika kaya ito ang hinanap at sinuri sa mga akda ni Atalia. Gamit ang saykoanalitik na lapit sa pagsusuri ay sinuri ang limang akda ni Atalia. Isa-isang sinuyod ang paglalarawan ng “libog” at desire o pagnanasa upang maipakita ang larawan nito na higit pa sa sekswal na kahulugan. Inilahad din sa pagsusuri ang iba-ibang pagnanasa ng awtor na nagpapalutang sa kahulugan ng “libog” upang mailantad sa mambabasa ang mga pangyayaring may kinalaman sa personalidad ng tao sa pamamagitan ng mga masalimuot na kaganapan sa lipunang Pilipino. Natuklasang ang mga akda ni Atalia ay nagpapakita ng iba’t ibang anyo ng pagnanasa na tumutukoy sa mga panlipunang isyu at mga pamumunang panlipunan. Politikal at kritikal ang pinagmulan ng mga pagnanasa na inilarawan sa mga akda ni Atalia. May kaugnayan ito sa samu’t saring tunggalian ng buhay at ng lipunan kahit pa larawang sekswal ang madalas namamalas sa kanyang mga likha. Sa estilo at pangkalahatang layunin ng awtor nakitang ang kalibugan at pagnanasa sa loob ng kanyang akda ay naglalayong tumisod sa kamalayan ng mambabasa na unawain ang mga nakakubling kahulugan ng kanyang akda at salaminin ang iba pang kalagayang hindi lantad na ipinakita. Sa gayong kalagayan, napatunayan na ang konsepto ng libog bilang mahalay, sekswal, bastos bulgar, erotik at taboo ay nagkaroon ng bagong kahulugan bilang nakalilitong tagpo, nakalilitong larawan at pag- unawa sa kamalayan,. Tinugunan nito ang kahulugan ng “libog” para sa mga Bisaya na kalituhan o pagkalito. Naiugnay rito ang konsepto ng “libog” sa wikang Filipino at Bisaya.
Pagtuki sa Binalaybay: A Stylistic Analysis of Sebuano Figurative Language in Iligan National Writers Workshop’s Sebuano Poems
Authors: Alejandrino Kimberly Jhie
Published: January 2024

The place of poetry in Sebuano culture is central. Yet, no adequate compendium of poetry in Sebuano exists despite the abundant number of figurative expressions present in Sebuano, an Austronesian language spoken as a native language by a majority of the people in the Philippines. This study intends to discover which expressions in Sebuano poems are figurative through markers that indicate a nonliteral interpretation, and which traditionally-introduced categories are most commonly used among these expressions found in Sebuano poetry. The corpus of this paper are Sebuano poems found in the Poetry section of Volumes 1 to 20 (1994 to 2013) proceedings of the Iligan National Writers Workshop, a pioneering literary development in Mindanao after the two leading workshops in the country, namely that of University of the Philippines and Silliman. The data was analyzed in terms of (a) Levin’s linguistic deviation (b) McArthur and Perrine’s markers of figurativeness and (c) categorization and characterization of figurative language. The study found that while there are those expressions that fall under the categories namely: metaphor, personification, simile, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and synecdoche; there are, however, recurring patterns of Sebuano figurative expressions that defy categorization and are referred to by the researchers as ‘Emerging Sebuano Figurative Language Categories.’ This paper explores the depths and complexities of Sebuano figurative language and presents these findings as a preliminary description of Sebuano figurative language.
Climate Information and Dengue Risk Reduction: Strategizing at the Barangay Level in Baybay, Leyte
Authors: Batara Enrique
Published: January 2024

This study is a descriptive analysis of barangay officials’ risk reduction strategies against dengue, an infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes in their communities. The objectives behind the study are: (1) to determine respondents’ access and exposure to information on dengue, (2) to ascertain respondents’ understanding of dengue, (3) to find out the strategies respondents currently use to reduce risks of dengue, and (4) to determine respondents’ risk reduction strategies for dengue based on seasonal climate forecasts. The study’s respondents are officials of Barangay Kansungka and Barangay Gacat, Baybay, Leyte who participated in a focus group discussion to enable the researcher to extract data on the disease, knowledge of the disease, sources of information on the disease, and experiences on the disease. The study is anchored on the constructivist perspective of research, a view that argues that reality is a product of an individual’s construction, a product of his/her interaction with the environment, other people, and years of experience. The findings of the study are the following: (1) the respondent’s sources of information on the disease is through the media (especially the television and radio), and information drives and lectures by health workers in the city; (2) the officials are knowledgeable about the disease; (3) current strategies include cleanup operations, discarding standing water containers, and burning of garbage; and (4) their strategies based on climate information – normal, dry and wet climate forecast – are very much similar. This study concludes that the respondents do not recognize the relationship between rainfall patterns and risk of dengue. This suggests the need to heighten awareness of the relationship between rainfall patterns and the disease. Moreover, climate information should be disseminated or made available to local officials.
Assessment of Students’ English Oral Proficiency Based on Degree Programs: Implications for Admission Examinations
Authors: Betonio Helen
Published: January 2024

Set in a Philippine state university, this study sought to investigate if there is a significant difference between college students’ English oral proficiency when they are grouped according to their current degree programs. The sample was drawn from 147 sophomore college students who belong in one of the eight (8) degree programs. These students have taken a Speech Communication class during the previous semester. Using an oral proficiency test patterned from and a modified form of the Texas Oral Proficiency Test (TOPT), the students’ English oral proficiency was assessed in terms of function, content, vocabulary, grammar, comprehensibility and fluency. A oneway ANOVA test of Equality of means in oral proficiency was used to analyze the data. This was followed by Post Hoc Analysis of each aspect of oral proficiency in relation to each degree program. Results show that there is a highly significant difference in the oral proficiency level of students in all areas, given by the significance value of 0.000 with 5% level of significance. Research results serve as basis for recommendations geared towards revisiting the language usage (LU) requirement set by the university in each degree program.
The Filipino Migrants in Japan: Reconstructing Identity and Nation
Authors: Balgoa Nelia
Published: January 2024

Transnationalism, or the multiplicity of involvements that international migrants sustain in both home and host countries, allow migrants to reconstruct their own identity, proving that identity is an ongoing process and always changing. Using social semiotics as an analytical tool and in depth interviews among the Filipino migrants as methodology, this paper interrogates the symbols and representations manifested in a big Philippine Festival (Barrio Fiesta) held in Yokohama, Japan and analyzes the processes by which Filipino migrants in Japan reconstruct their identity and to what extent these symbols are internalized by them. The paper shows that objective reality enables these migrants to locate their identities while subjective realities fragment their reconstruction. Identities can be contradictory and therefore semiotic resources are not enough to fully recapture the nuances of these dislocations. The Filipino migrants’ subjective reality, in relation to these shared resources and significations must also be considered. This reconstruction of identity shows that being a Filipino in Japan is not fixed and essential and that the idea of nation crosses beyond geographical borders and thus can be both negotiated.
The Language of Online News Headline: Discoursing the Marawi Crisis
Authors: Villa Melissa Beth , Ybañez Melca Sham , Esteban Ivie
Published: January 2024

This study explores the language of three hundred thirteen headlines of the Marawi crisis from the online news platform of Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) and MindaNews. The primary objective is to analyze the different frames of reporting the siege of Marawi in 2017. Lexical choices are listed to analyze the news coverage of the crisis and the actors’ involvement in terms of word associations and voice of the verbs. Findings show twelve (12) frames of the events, namely, death and violence, defense forces, humanitarian, education, Marawi community, military, Maute, normalcy and safety, political and clerics, revolutionists, and war. The lexical choices of PDI describe dominant actors in the active voice whilst MindaNews’ actors are in the passive voice. The PDI is informative through an objective-based and evidence-based reporting, with a fraction of provocative and emotive attitudes but not exaggerating the portrayal of the actors. On the other hand, MindaNews reveals its localness through the underlying provocative words they use to associate their actors. Although both news agencies are less speculative, they generally keep track of an informative attitude on news reporting the event with the presence of their differing biases.
Persuasive Faculty and Rhetorical Structure Analysis of Popular Filipino Fiction Book Blurbs from 1980 – Present
Authors: Jimenez Claire Anne , Fernandez-Dalona Irish Mae
Published: January 2024

Blurbs, being a subtle yet powerful pitch that influence readers to pick-up a book, might contradict the old adage ‘You cannot judge a book by its cover’. People do get influenced by blurbs (Schaefer & Nelson, 2012). And they provide a vista of writing styles, a rhetoric that not only appeals to readers’ senses, but also resonates the cultural or socio-political ideals of a population at a given decade, which Küçüksakarya (2015) calls “contextually motivated language choices”. A local study, for instance, has forwarded that in the Philippines, culture greatly influences the way of writing (Pariña, 2010), and is a potent factor for persuading people to read. The style of blurb writing for Filipino fiction books, however, still remains unexplored, which is why this study is conducted. Anchored on Gea-Valor’s (2005) textual strategies to analyze twenty (20) blurbs of fiction books gathered from Goodreads – five each from decades 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010 to present, findings showed that Filipino fiction book blurbs are more informational, than promotional. Albeit present in all decades, the blurbs in the following decades also focus on culture and romance. Utilizing Maan and Thompson’s (1986) Rhetorical Structure Theory, the analyses reveal that most blurbs entrench the plot to the potential readers, weaving both the informative and promotional intent of the blurbs. Filipino blurb writers more commonly use positive evaluative adjectives, superlatives, intensifiers, elliptical structure, personal pronouns like ‘we’, ‘us’, and ‘ours’ including rhetorical questions and imperatives directed towards readers, which help establish the Filipino’s communal culture, or the interconnectedness of ‘pakikisama’, which Pariña (2010) noted as one of the features of Filipino writing. The researchers recommend looking into the rhetorical structure and other presentational schemes of blurbs used as virtual advertising to shed light on this growing inquisitiveness towards this genre.
Los demostrativos en el español de Houston, Texas
Authors: Gutiérrez Manuel J.
Published: January 2024

El presente trabajo examina los adjetivos demostrativos ese y aquel en conversaciones videograbadas con hablantes de tres generaciones de Houston, Texas, y de un grupo control de México. Los resultados indican que ambos demostrativos aún son usados en el español de México y en la primera generación de Houston; en las generaciones dos y tres, sin embargo, aquel aparece con una frecuencia muy baja. El uso temporal es el que más se mantiene en el caso de la forma aquel; los significados espaciales y referenciales sólo permanecen en el medio monolingüe y en los hablantes de primera generación.

Reduplicación, truncamiento y supletividad en los temas verbales del tepehuano del suroeste (San Francisco de Lajas, Dgo.)
Authors: Reyes Verónica
Published: January 2024

Este trabajo analiza los diferentes procesos y la alomorfía que experimentan los temas verbales en el tepehuano del suroeste. La lengua muestra modificaciones en el tema provocadas por la reduplicación de segmentos iniciales, el truncamiento del tema y también supletividad, fenómenos que han sido considerados ejemplos de morfología no concatenativa. Estos cambios vehiculan distinciones de aspecto, modo y tiempo que también se han registrado en las raíces verbales de otras lenguas yutoaztecas. La descripción detallada de estas estructuras no había sido hecha anteriormente para esta variante del tepehuano del sur. Este trabajo ofrece un panorama amplio de los cambios en los temas verbales y de los procesos morfofonológicos que sufren, así como una explicación del proceso de truncamiento.
Metió las narices en el asunto. Cuatro construcciones metafóricas con la estructura meter + sustantivo corporal

Published: January 2024

Este artículo ofrece un análisis de las expresiones "meter las narices / el pie y meterle el hombro / el pie a alguien". El trabajo explica, a partir de la gramática de construcciones (Goldberg 1995, 2003, 2006) y la teoría de "blend" (Fauconnier y Turner 2002), cómo las expresiones "meter las narices / el pie" tienen su origen en la construcción de movimiento causado, mientras que "meterle el pie / el hombro a alguien" son resultado de un "blend" entre la construcción de movimiento causado y la de transferencia. El trabajo desarrolla lo heredado de la construcción madre en cada nueva construcción y lo que añade el sustantivo corporal, así como la manera en la que se conforman las fusiones conceptuales.
