Ang Krus na Ligas ay isang pamayanan na matatagpuan sa Diliman sa Lungsod ng Quezon at kabilang sa ikaapat na distrito. Layunin ng pag-aaral na ito na ilarawan ang pamayanan ng Krus na Ligas sa pamamagitan ng sining at kultura na makiikita dito. Sa pamamagitan ng sining at kultura ay malalaman din kung anu-ano ba ang isinasaalang-alang na 'mutya' sa lugar na ito. Aalamin ng mananaliksik kung paano nagkaroon ng kontribusyon ang mga 'mutyang' ito sa paglalarawan ng pamayanang ito. Ang pag-aaral na ito ay may limang bahagi. Tatalakayin ng unang bahagi ang mga sangkap na makakatulong upang maabot ang layunin ng pagaaral na ito. Ang ikalawang bahagi ang maglalarawan ng mga katangian ng pamayanan: lokasyon, topograpiya, klima, populasyon. Sa ikatlong bahagi, malalaman ang mga kulturang diwa at materyal na makikita sa pamayanang ito. lsinalaysay sa bahaging ito ang makulay na kasaysayan ng Krus na Ligas at bakit ito kinilalang isang makasaysayang lugar. Malalaman din dito ang kadahilanan kung bakit lumiit ng lumiit ang lupaing sakop ng Krus na Ligas. Kasama na rin dito ang alamat na nagpapaliwanag kung bakit pinangalanang Krus na Ligas ang lugar na ito. Sa bahagi ding ito mailalarawan ang mga 'mutya' ng pamayanan. Ang mga mutyang nakapaloob sa pamayanang ito ay ang Parokya Simbahan ng Krus na Ligas na masasabing saksi sa kasaysayan ng Krus na Ligas, ang Kabukiran na masasabing tanging-yaman na natitira lalunglalo na sa mga magsasaka doon, at ang mga pagdiriwang, na sa paglipas ng panahon ay napakalaki ng ipinagbago. llalarawan sa ikaapat na bahagi ang pamayanan ng Krus na Ligas sa pamamagitan ng pagsusuri na ginagamitan ng konsepto ng 'mutya': bilang isang diwa at materyal. Sa mga mutya na nasabi sa ikatlong bahagi, masasalamin dito ang mga pagbabagong naganap at malalaman kung anu-ano na ba ang binibigyang-halaga ng pamayanang ito sa kasalukuyang panahon. Noon, ang mutyang pinakabinibigyan nila ng halaga ay ang diwa ng pagkakaisa. Ngunit, sa paglipas ng panahon ito ay napalitan ng pagsasarili o ng pagkakanya-kanya. Nangyari ito dahil ang tradisyunal na gawain ay napalitan ng makabagong pamamaraan. lsang naging salik pa dito ay ang pagkakaroon ng karunungan na para sa mga matatanda doon ay nakakasama kapag nasobrahan. Ang maaaring maipagmamalaki ng Krus na Ligas magpahanggang ngayon ay ang pagiging larawan pa rin ng isang probinsya. Sinuman ang maligaw sa lugar na ito ay madarama ang pagiging probinsya ng lugar na ito.

Analyzing Communicatively the Socialization Process of New Employees in Rever and David’s Incorporated Kobayashi, Kumi Angelina O. Organizations are made up of people working together to achieve a common goal. Without the individuals, organizations would cease to function. The operations, development, and success of a company lie on its over-all makeup of human resources and or manpower. This success relied on the competence, knowledge, and skills of the organizational members. However, effectiveness in the job performance can be attained if one already knows the “ropes” around an organization. Members of the organizations usually learn about the firm they work in upon their entry. They adapt to the life and the system of their new organization by undergoing a process of socialization. The employees’ learning takes place during this stage when they are also indoctrinated and trained to become productive workers. Socialization process may be the nest explanation as to why employees behave the way they do in today’s organizations. Socialization process has been recognized to contribute to individual, group, and organizational effectiveness. The effectiveness of the socialization process could be largely attributed to communication. Socialization process is influenced by the content of the message which the management disseminates to the new employees, the channels used to send these information, the direction or the flow of information dissemination, and the feedback provided by both parties. Moreover, communication plays a major role in making the socialization process of the new employees successful, through the integration of the various communication elements like message, channels, direction, and feedback. How these elements are utilized in the socialization of the employees could help determine the success of the socialization process. Some authors say that there is a close link between effective communication and effective socialization process. A successful communication encounter would also lead to a successful encounter. In this context, socialization is a communicative act. How this is done however, is not yet clear. Hence, this study aims to view the socialization process communicatively. For this purpose, this research aims to answer this problem: From a communication’s viewpoint, how are the new employees socialized in a Filipino organization named Rever and David’s Inc.? With this, the study therefore has the following sub-problems: (1) What is the socialization process of new employees in Rever and David’s Inc.?: What information are most commonly communicated to the new employees?; (3) What message channels are employed?; (4) What is the communication low in the transmission of messages during the socialization process?; and (5) What are the perceived effects of the socialization process on the new employees? Socialization process is usually viewed from an anthropological or sociological viewpoint. With this study, socialization would be analyzed from a different light, that of communication. The method used was a descriptive-evaluative research. A questionnaire was administered to the respondents dealing with the company’s socialization programs, the methods used, and the perceived effects. It helped determine which are the most common communication channels and direction, message type, and feedback existing during the socialization process. Interviews were conducted to validate the data gathered through the questionnaire. It was found that among the employees of Rever and David’s Inc., orientation and training programs are the priority and the most popular socialization activities. These programs provide employees with the most substantive information about company policies, regulations and guidelines, and allow the employees to use their skills to the fullest. Employees are trained to meet the standard set by the company in serving its clients. The socialization process of the new employees is basically geared toward informing them about company information and task or job description. Socialization activities are conveyed through the use of information channels such as the telephone, fax messages, memos, and announcements from the management or notices posted in the bulletin board, both upward and downward channels. Giving of feedback is also encouraged for a better working relationship. New employees in Rever and David’s Inc. believe that training and orientation are the most effective socialization activities, while the least effective are lectures and mentoring. The communication in the company helps in the success of the socialization encounters of the employees. The diversity and versatility in the use of different communication channels, the flow of information, the appropriateness of the content of the messages, and even the presence and acceptance of grapevine information help achieve a positive climate within the organization.

A Study on the Rehabilitation Project of the St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church Guda, Abigail G. The Study on the Rehabilitation Project of St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church answers the question: How was the rehabilitation of the St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church managed? It examines the two fundamental aspects of project management, which are planning and implementation. The study documents the history and background, and the architectural features of the St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church prior to the rehabilitation project. The study also documents the rehabilitation project and the changes made to the original structure. In 1968, National Artist for Architecture Leandro V. Locsin designed the St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church, whose design is the precursor of that of the Folk Arts Theater. Unfortunately, in September 9, 2005, the interior of the parish church was badly damaged in a fire brought about by faulty electrical wiring. The damage was extensive that only the 28 concrete buttresses and the fins of the old church structure remained which accounts to 70-80% of the whole structure. Through the initiative of parish priest, Rev. Fr. Benito B. Tuazon, and the collaboration of the parish community, the church underwent rehabilitation with Dominic Galicia as its new architect. There are two committees-the Fundraising Committee and the Construction Committee-formed to handle the management of the rehabilitation project of the St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church. With the proper guidance of Architect Dominic Galicia, the parish decided on a returning a building preserving the features rehabilitation project which involves into use through alteration while of the original building which are significant to its historical and architectural value. Architect Dominic Galicia, as a member of the Advisory Council of the Heritage Conservation Society, was very much concerned about preserving the remaining concrete structures of the old church to honor the work of Architect Leandro V. Locsin as a National Artist. However, in any construction project for churches, the need of the parish should be attended first before any architectural concern. As a result, in the design of the rehabilitated parish church, the remaining fins of the old church had to be eliminated in the process to provide room for the frontline and in the mezzanine. In the rehabilitated St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church, the 28 concrete buttresses were the only parts of the old church structure that were retained. Hence, Architect Leandro V. Locsin' s essential architectural character of massive floating roof slab can no longer be seen. The reason for this can be attributed to the primary concern of addressing to the need of the parish for a bigger place of worship. With only few refinements left, the St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church was ready for use in time for the feast day of Saint Alphonsus on August 01, 2007. The actual rehabilitation project took almost two years which corresponds to what Architect Dominic Galicia has expected. In terms of the actual cost, the proposed budget of 40 million escalated to more than 64 million due to unavoidable circumstance which is the high inflation rate during the rehabilitation project. The St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish was successful in its seven objectives for the rehabilitated parish Church. The first in accordance with the Liturgical Requirements of the Catholic Church-was achieved through the constant communication of the parish to the Liturgical Commission. The second-it will imbibe and express the charisma of the patron saint, St. Alphonsus-was ensured with the extensive research done by Architect Dominic Galicia about the life and work of St. Alphonsus and incorporating it in the design of the rehabilitated parish church. The third-it will be durable and could withstand the test of time and natural threats-was ensured by hiring a world expert in seismic engineering, Structural Engineer Carlos Villaraza. The fourth-it will be functional and worshipper oriented- is brought about by complying with the Liturgical Guidelines. The fifth-done in the most economical way possible was achieved by applying the concept of value engineering and direct negotiation of the parish with the suppliers. The fifth environmentally concerned-was attained by the incorporation of operable glass window in the church's new design. The last something bigger-was achieved by adding a mezzanine level. The study concluded that the rehabilitation of the St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church was effectively and efficiently managed by the key people involved which aid for the achievement of the vision and objectives of the parish. This was realized through the careful planning, constant coordination, and having vision and objectives. Consequently, a magnificent and liturgically sound parish church comes out from the ruins of the original structure. Furthermore, even though, the 28 concrete buttresses are now only 20-30% of the new church, it is worth mentioning that the parish made an effort to save what was left of the church designed by National Artist for Architecture Leandro Locsin. Having a background on architectural heritage preservation is of great importance. Without this, what was left of the church might have been totally lost.
