Item Restricted Voting determinants of Philippine Congressmen on the responsible parenthood and reproductive health Act of 2012(2017-06) Banson, Patricia Ysabelle D.; Yao, Selena Kaye C.; Escresa, Laarni C.This research paper is centered around Republic Act No. 10354 or the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012, and analyzes the voting behavior of the district representatives of the 15th Philippine Congress with respect to this law. The objective of the paper is to determine the factors that may have played a significant role in the way these legislators voted for the bill. In order to do this, the researchers selected thirteen independent variables, which they hypothesized to affect the voting behavior of congressmen with regards to the RH Law. The independent variables can be classified under the following: 1) personal background of the congressmen, 2) political background of the congressmen, and 3) characteristics of the congressmen’s district or constituents thereof. These independent variables were then regressed against the binary dependent variable, which is the vote cast by congressmen. A probit regression was utilized for this research paper due to the binary nature of the dependent variable. Results of the study show that of the thirteen independent variables, only three were actually significant: fertility rates, re-election plans, and political alignment with the incumbent president. Due to limitations with acquisition, some data used in this research paper do not accurately reflect the situation of the districts included in the study and may have caused some inaccuracy with the results.Item Restricted Household awareness of the responsible parenthood movement classes: an analysis of the awareness targeting mechanisms of the rsponsible parenthood movement class program(2012-01) Garcia, Randall S.; Hilado, Emilio Ray Christian D.; Solon, Orville Jose C.High levels of population has long been one of the major problems of the Philippines; as part of the efforts to address this problem the government has implemented the Responsible Parenthood Movement Class (RPM) Program. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the awareness targeting mechanisms of the said program. In order to obtain the desired results for this study, logistic regression was use. From the results of the regression, the study concludes that the efforts to make the intended groups aware of this program still leave much to be desired. The results show that the means by which awareness of the program is being spread has not been as effective in reaching those that would benefit the most from the program, namely the poor and uneducated.
