Our government plays a significant role in the responsible use of culture as a means of promoting our country. For one, they are the main catalyst of growth and development, economically speaking, but they could also be a destruction force in our culture if they did not pay close attention in managing our culture and arts. Given the above scenario, there arises a question as to how effective is the attempt to use the concept of cultural tourism in the "Ginintuang Pamana Program" activities of the WOW Philippines of the Department of Tourism. This paper will be written with the descriptive research design and the qualitative methods of research. The paradigm that will be used is the interpretivist paradigm. The methods of data gathering will be library research about the related literature in art and culture, and previous notes and discussions in class particularly the Arts Management subjects. The data analysis will be from the unpublished documents form the Department of Tourism (Special Projects Office) and interviews with the officials of the WOW Philippines "Ginintuang Pamana Program." The analysis was based on the following indicators: a: does it advocate cultural education, b: does it recognize our culture bearers, c: does it promote local and traditional crafts, d: does it consider our "culture base in f es ti val making. The Program is a living fact that arts and culture is beneficial in the social, national and economic transformation. It was clearly established the importance and relationship between cultural heritage and national identity that will result in economic progress. Based on the in depth study, data and evaluation presented, WOW Philippines' Best of the Regions "Ginintuang Pamana" program of the Department of the Philippines generally did not meet and comply to the indicators set as a cultural tourism program, because it was focused on the income and revenues it will generate for economic purposes.

Ang Sanghiyang ay isang ritwal sa Mendez, Cavite na hinahabi ng iba't ibang pananaw ng mga taong nakaranas na sa pagdiriwang na ito. Kasama sa ritwal na ito ang pagtawag sa mga santo at sa mga kaluluwa at higit sa lahat ay sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos. Ang pangunahing suliranin ng pag-aaral na ito ay nakadanatay sa katanungang "Ano ang tradisyong Sanghiyang sa Mendez, Cavite batay sa mga 'barko' o mga taong nagsasagawa nito?" Ang layunin nito ay matugunan ang nasabing suliranin. Kasama rin dito ang pag-alam sa kabuuang pagdiriwang ng ritwal at ang mga suliraning nakapaloob sa pag-iral nito bilang isang tradisyon. Sa pagsagot sa suliraning ito ng pag-aaral, gumamit ng descriptive research design, non-probability sampling, qualitative research, thematic analysis, at ang mga ito ay batay sa mga panayam na ginawa. Ginamitan ito ng grounded theory approach. Ang mga pananaw ng mga tao sa Sanghiyang ay nakaukol sa Diyos bilang sentro ng buhay at dapat pag-ukulan ng pananampalataya. Ang pananampalatayang ito ay nabibigyang-manipestayon sa pamamagitan ng pagiral ng nasabing ritwal. Gayundin ang Sanghiyang ay patunay din ng mataas na pagpapahalaga nila sa buhay. Lumalabas din na ito ay isang paraan ng mga tao upang makipag-ugnayan sa mga nasa espiritwal na mundo. Ang 'barko' sa Sanghiyang ay may napakahalagang papel sa pag-iral ng trndisyong ito na may kaugnayan din sa tradisyong babaylan.

Today’s fast-paced and modern world require that individuals within an organization be adept in adjusting to the daily stresses in their jobs. Stress as a concept has become one of the most intriguing concerns for many organizations in the 80’s due to the serious effects that it reportedly brings. It has been commonly referred to as pressures, hassles, distress, and burn-out. Whatever names, they call it, stress has been believed to bring negative effects on an individual particularly with respect to his interpersonal relations with other members of the organization. Wester-based theories have categorized stress into two forms: constructive and destructive. However, stress itself is a subjective term, and as such depends on various factors such as an individual’s personality, his family, social and emotional background. Suffice it to say that stress is largely a matter of perception. What may be stressful to one my be relatively stress-free to another. Only it effects on a person determines whether they are considered positive or negative forms of stresses. The corporate world is constantly faced with stresses, both internal or external to the organization. This is largely due to the increased complexity of modern-day jobs as well as increased economic pressures on the individual. One of the factors that is likely to be affected by the levels of stress an individual experiences is his interpersonal relationships. It is a common notion that individuals while experiencing stress, often manifest poor or worsened interpersonal relations. In the Western context, stress is most oftenly referred in its negative form because it reportedly brings more destructive effects than it brings positive results. The researcher is face with the doubt that when the Western-based theories on stress are applied to the Filipino context, there would likely be differences with respect to the effects of stress to individuals as well as their responses to pressures. It is this objective to verify the perceived effects of stress on interpersonal relations which encouraged the researcher to give it substantial focus via this study. Since stress is basically foreign to most Filipinos with respect to the way they view their problems in their respective jobs, researches dealing with stress in relation to the interpersonal relations seem elusive. Apparently, this topic has not yet merited the attention of researchers on this field. It is for this reason that the researcher has undertaken on exploratory-descriptive method of research. The organization that the research chose as the subject of this study is the Government Service Insurance System – Manila Branch. As a governmental bureaucratic organization, they are always at grips with pressures and stresses since the organization functions directly with the public. Hence the employers in any government agency are usually considered as “public servants.” It is presumed by the researcher that having this consideration in mind, GSIS provides the perfect context for this case study on the effects of stress and interpersonal relations. Survey questionnaires were used by the researcher as a tool for gathering data in this study. A separate set of questionnaires were administered to the superiors and another to the subordinates in order to compare the effects of stress on the interpersonal relations of both levels. Based on the findings, it was evident that instead of expecting a worsened nature of the interpersonal relationships of the superior due to the degrees of job stress that they experience almost daily, it is surprising to find out that there was a notable perceived positive change in their interpersonal relationships. They have reportedly improved their other-orientedness towards their subordinates, fellow superiors as well as to their clients. Furthermore, the survey indicated improvements in themselves with respect to their qualities as superiors and managers. Meanwhile, the subordinates perceived no change in the nature of their relationships with others while they are undergoing stress. According to them, they have retained their good interpersonal relationships inspite of the pressures that they encounter in their respective jobs. The researcher therefore concluded that stress as a subjective term, may also function positively for individuals specifically for the superiors who more or less are conscious that stress is a part of their managerial jobs.

Isabel Andrea D.C. When man sees himself in the mirror when he gets up in he morning, he evaluates the quality of his night’s sleep by the way his eyes look spritely or dull. When he gets to the breakfast table, he chooses between a toast, a bowl of cereals or a hearty meal of rice and sausage, evaluating the degree of the hunger pangs felt. When he drives off to work, he makes a mental order of how he will go about his office day based on recall cues of yesterday’s work outcome. The minute he steps in his office, he scans the work environment for surface cues that the work day has indeed began: Is the secretary about her work or is she still in the washroom fixing her hair? Is the clerk dutifully typing the report I sent him or is he still busy with the other guys discussing last night's games? Does the boos’s silence mean I messed up in yesterday's meeting? Is the rumor of palakasan system true or a myth created by disgruntled, sourgraping employees? People evaluate things they hear, see, feel, taste and do. These perceptions of people are based on personal constructs and are critical to maintenance, enhancement and damage of interpersonal relationships. The basic proposition in this study is that the appraisal process was generally acceptable to employees but was acknowledged to create interpersonal supervisor-subordinates strains and interpersonal strains among peers. The study determined how exactly was interpersonal relationships positively or negatively affected by performance appraisal through the administration of questionnaires to (population sample of available employees for questioning) as well as an interview of one supervisory personnel. How employees viewed the legitimacy or validity of one’s performance appraisal were derived from the attitude/views expressed by the respondents’ on variables of inquiry: performance appraisal itself and interpersonal relationships. At least ten variables affecting performance appraisal and interpersonal relationships were identified. From data gathered, employees shared common agreement on the importance of performance appraisal to the organization and to one’s self. Employees likewise shared a great degree of common need to be adequately provided feedback and were disheartened with the present feedback system. It was found out in the study that employees would normally forego confrontational meetings with the agent of the appraisal process (the evaluator) but remedied the situation with subtlety. Manifestations ranged from venting discomfort to superiors and peers (nagpaparinig ng hindi Maganda), customers and the job itself (nagtatamad). Organizational Communications is concerned with performance appraisal because the appraisal system is a rich source of information on how a particular organization takes his: (1) organizational goals and missions seriously; (2) employees’ needs seriously. The theories in the field of organizational communications show how the organization communicates both.
