The Socio-Economic-Political Situation of the Townsfolk of Little Samar in Navotas: A Case Study Manalansan, Ivy V. Development is a process of social transformation and human development wherein tile people are both the subject and object of development. In an era where economies and countries consolidate to become one global village, the Philippines is doing its best to integrate itself in the global arena. To become at par with the developing and advanced countries, our government anchored itself on the so-called globalization. We adopted development strategies meant to uplift not only our economy's status but also the lives of the people. Past and present administrations focused on developing the economy. Different policies and programs were implemented so as to realize the much elusive dream of economic growth. Economic growth that aims to improve the people's lives. For centuries, we, as with the other countries, upheld the theory that economic prosperity would eventually trickle down to the people. All over the world, human development has been pursued to be the relevant manifestation of economic growth. The Little Samar fisherfolks who dwell in an urban depressed area is an apparent picture that it has all been simply an empty rhetoric. So, what is economic growth if it does not improve people's lives? Development is a point of no return wherein human development and equity are not seen as trade-offs.

The Social Economics Effect of the Masinloc Coal Fired Power Plant Zaldivar, Brian Carlo B. Capitalist penetration to pre-capitalist modes of production gives birth to contradictions. this paper will assume that the Masinloc Coal Fired Power Plant will diminish the productivity within its domain. The researcher fielded randomly 50 questionnaires for the inhabitants of Barangay Bani and the workers of the plant. The researcher found out that the people was robbed of their land with sweet coated promises, giving them the assurance that they will sustain their way of living by working inside the plant. It turns out that the promise given to them turned bitter and was left with no land, no job, and a lot of anxiety. After gathering the qualitative data the researcher quantified the respondents' insights and came about his conclusions. This study will hopefully be an eye-opener to the readers that the Masinloc Coal Fired Power Plant was built with contradictions and inconsistencies that still haunt the people.

Incidence of youth offenses in the Philippines has been in the rise for the past years and has been a serious concern of both government and non-government agencies. II has been said time and again that juvenile delinquency is a social problem and youth offenders are victims of circumstances beyond their control. With this. several factors arc being accounted for the negative behavior of children in conflict with the law. Most people believed that the complexity of the present Philippine society and curiosity of the youth to experience and savor the alluring comforts the modem world has to offer have made the youth prone to commission of crimes, petty or serious. Thus, the State has to view these offenders as misguided children who varied complex needs require specialized handling. This study intends to analyze the causes of juvenile delinquency as well as evaluate the situation of child detainees in two different detention centers: Malave Youth Home and Caloocan City Jail.
