Brian Ascalon Roley's American Son, one of the outstanding Filipino American novels after the LA riots, critically deals with a racial issue of his community which has been intermingled with the myth of model minority. Gabe and Thomas, considered as obedient Filipino younger immigrants, are asked to achieve the American dream as a way to place themselves at the center of the mainstream white society. However, they recognize that they cannot be accepted as a suitable subject for the invincible racism deeply rooted in the society. While Tomas refuses to become a model minority by identifying himself with the Mexican, Gabe is expected to become an idealistic subject of model minority by his mother since he complies with the rules of the mainstream society. However, he accepts his brother's violent way of life in that violence is necessary to protect his family from the racial discrimination in America. Though he is his mother's hope for model minority, he recognizes the only condition to achieve her expectation is the American society where there is no racism at all. However, by taking the case of Gabe and Thomas, Roley suggests that the younger generation of Filipino American immigrants have no choice but to accept violence to survive in the American society because racism always threatens their life.

The use of global mobile technology has increased exponentially. In particular, a survey of consumers in the Philippines showed that 83% "could not live" without their mobile phones. We investigated factors, such as ease of use and personal innovativeness, to elucidate the consumer adoption of mobile technologies in the Philippines, to integrate existing adoption theories for academics and provide recommendations to practitioners based on our findings. Our research questions are as follows: (1) What key factors drive adoption of mobile technologies by Filipino consumers?; (2) Are Filipino consumers innovative in their use of mobile technologies?; And (3) How can telecom companies retain their customers? A structural equation model, which was built from a survey of 528 mobile Filipino consumers, showed support for repurchase intention to use mobile technologies. The hypotheses were generally supported by variables related to mobile phone usage with the Philippine consumer sample. Results support all of the hypothesized relationships for consumers using mobile technologies. Personal innovativeness did load on both attitude and repurchase intention for mobile applications as originally hypothesized but was strongly loaded for attitude toward using. This research is a first step in understanding the adoption of mobile applications by Filipino consumers. We initially hypothesized that consumer behavior toward mobile applications would involve constructs of innovativeness, ease of use, and satisfaction; however, we found that ease of use was less significant in understanding repurchase intention to use mobile technologies. Personal innovativeness was more important in explaining satisfaction with mobile application attitudes and repurchase intention. The Filipino context of this study also provides other interesting implications. As the Philippines transitions into a more international market, western products start to guide market behavior, particularly consumer adoption.

Assessing the health of international migrants is crucial in the Republic of Korea, Asia, and even worldwide. We compared the risk factors for non-communicable diseases among Asian migrants in Korea and the Korean population. This cross-sectional (2015) and longitudinal (2009-2015) observational study comprised a population-wide analysis spanning 2009 to 2015. Asian migrants (n=987,214) in Korea and Korean nationals (n=1,693,281) aged ≥20 were included. The Asian migrants were classified as Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, and other. The prevalence of risk factors for non-communicable diseases (current smoking, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension) were analyzed. Regarding the age-adjusted prevalence, direct age standardization was conducted separately by sex using 10-year age bands; the World Standard Population was used as the standard population. Among the participants aged ≥20, the age-adjusted prevalence of current smoking was higher among Chinese and other Asian migrant men than among Korean men and women (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The age-adjusted prevalence of obesity was higher among Chinese, Filipino, and other Asian migrant women than in Korean women (p<0.001, p=0.002, and p<0.001, respectively). Among the participants aged 20-49, the age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension was higher in Filipino migrant women than in Korean women (p=0.009 and p<0.001, respectively). Current rates of smoking and obesity were worse among Asian migrants of specific nationalities than among native Koreans. The health inequalities among Filipino migrant women in Korea, especially those aged 20-49, should be addressed.

Archipeligiality, a concept continuously being developed by the scholar, is one that attempts to articulate the Filipino sense of place as discoursed in/through its literatures. As a country composed of 7,107 islands, the very fragmentation and division of the country, as well as its multiculturality and multilinguality, have become the very means by which Filipino writers have "imagined" so to speak-that is, also, constructed, into a singular, united frame-the "nation." This, the author supposes, is an important aspect to explore when it comes to discoursing the larger Southeast Asian imagination, or poetic, as similar situations (i.e. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore), may soon compel for a comparative critico-literary perspective. This paper continues this exploratory "geoliterary" discourse by looking at a Filipino canonical work in English by Cirilo F. Bautista, the epic The Trilogy of Saint Lazarus, the title of which already signals a geographic allusion to the first map-name granted by the Spanish colonizer to the Philippines in the region, and consequently the first signification of the country's subjected existence in the colonial imagination. The work, published between 1970 and 1998, is composed of three parts: The Archipelago, Telex Moon, and Sunlight on Broken Stones, which won the 1998 Philippine Independence Centennial Literary Prize. In these epics, notions of Philippine history and situation were discoursed, and Filipino historical figures were engaged in dialogue by the poet/the poet's voice, with the end of locating the place [where history and time had brought it; or its direction or trajectory as a nation, being true to the Filipino maxim of ang di lumingon sa pinanggalingan, di makararating sa paroroonan (the one who does not look back to his origins would not reach his destination)]. of the Philippines not only in the national imagination, but in this paper, in the wider regional consciousness. The paper proposes that the archipelagic concept is an important and unique characteristic of the Southeast Asian situation, and thus, may be a means to explicate the clearly connected landscapes of the region's imagination through literature. This paper focuses on Sunlight on Broken Stones.

This research analyzed the anthropometric data for Filipino plus-size women. The study aims to identify key dimensions used for the sizing system that can improve on fit and style concerns/issues for the plus-sizes. This study also develop a reference of body measurements for Filipino plus-size women from the data collected. The data was collected from subjects residing or working in the University of the Philippines and within Metro Manila. The full figure body shapes have been derived from the raw anthropometric data. The pear and the barrel shapes were derived figure types based on the anthropometric data collected. These body types show that weight distribution is on the lower torso for the pear and the upper torso for the barrel.

I devised a parenting training program in order to help female international marriage immigrants address child behavior problems. The target ethnic group for this study was south-east Asians, in particular Filipino mothers. Two group, each containing 7 mothers, were provided with 8 parenting training sessions. The participants, all with Korean husbands, were already trained in Korean traditional parenting value and positive parenting behavior. To test the effect of this program, pre-, post-, and 6-months follow-up tests were conducted. Resulted showed that the parenting training program improved positive parenting behavior, enhanced parenting self-efficacy, and reduced the children's problem behaviors.

필리핀에서는 기독교 율법에 의해 낙태가 법적으로 금지되어 있다. 따라서 코피노가 잉태되었을 때 한국인 아버지는 낙태를 원하거나 부양을 포기하더라도 필리핀인 어머니는 부득이 출산하여 기를 수밖에 없다. 이와 같이 코피노를 혼자 양육하고 있는 코피노 어머니에 대해 한국인과 필리핀인이 어떻게 평가하고 있는지 명시적 차원과 암묵적 차원에서 비교하고자 하였다. 아울러 낙태를 금지하는 기독교가 점화되었을 때 코피노 어머니에 대한 한국 및 필리핀 참여자들의 평가가 어떻게 변화하는지 살펴보았다. 실험 결과, 필리핀 참여자들이 한국 참여자들보다 코피노 어머니를 명시적으로나 암묵적으로 더욱 좋아하였다. 그런데 필리핀 참여자들에 비해 덜 좋아했던 한국 참여자들도 코피노 어머니에 대해 내외현적으로 조금 좋게 평가하고 있었다. 단, 한국의 남성 참여자들은 코피노 어머니를 명시적으로는 좋아한다고 답했지만, 암묵적으로는 싫어하고 있었다. 다음으로 십자가 사진을 사용하여 기독교가 점화되었을 때 필리핀 참여자들은 코피노 어머니를 암묵적으로 더욱 좋아하게 되었지만, 한국 참여자들은 아무런 변화가 없었다. 이러한 결과들을 통해 한국 여성들은 필리핀 사람들처럼 코피노 어머니에게 편견을 보이지 않지만 한국 남성들은 편견을 보이며, 십자가로 인한 점화효과가 문화마다 상이할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 과거 위안부 사건에 대한 기억의 표상으로서 만들어진 '필리핀 위안부 동상'의 이미지를 분석하여 필리핀인의 지역성, 즉 문화적 정체성에 대한 이해를 모색했다. 본 연구는 지역연구 방법론에 대한 새로운 시도로서 문학 분야의 텍스트 이해 방법인 '상호텍스트성' 개념을 도입하여 활용했다. 위안부 동상이 전쟁 시기 여성의 피해와 관련된 위안부의 기억에 대한 표상이라는 점에서 '여성성'과 '민족주의'의 특성에 초점을 맞추었다. 상호텍스트성 접근법의 일환으로 한국의 평화의 소녀상을 대비하여 분석했다. 필리핀 위안부 동상의 이미지에 대한 분석을 통해 필리핀인들의 여성성에 대한 인식이 한국의 평화의 소녀상에 표현된 순결주의와는 달리 아름다움을 더욱 강조하고 있음을 볼 수 있다. 또한 위안부 동상을 통해 표현된 필리핀 민족주의의 특성이 한국의 민중적이며 저항적인 특성과는 달리 엘리트적이며 포용적인 특성을 발견할 수 있다.

한국의 국제 노동력이 끊임없이 증가함에 따라 외국인 근로자의 해외 생활과 근로는 리더십 분야에 새로운 연구 시각을 제공하였다. 본 연구는 U와 G 지역에 거주하는 필리핀 국적인 외국인 근로자를 대상으로 리더십은 실제로 외국인 근로자의 상태와 태도에 영향을 미칠 수 있는지에 대해 논의하였다. 특히, 진성리더십이 외국인 근로자의 직무열의와 이직의도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 신뢰를 매개로 하여 외국인 근로자의 직무열의와 이직의도에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 진성리더십은 필리핀 국적 외국인 근로자의 직무열의와 선명한 관계를 가지고 있지 않은 반면에 외국인 근로자의 이직의도에 부(-)정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 진성리더십이 외국인 근로자의 이직의도에 신뢰를 완전 매개하여 부(-)정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 신뢰의 매개 작용은 리더와 부하 간의 신뢰 구축이 필요하다는 것을 보여주었다. 마지막으로 본 연구는 다양한 시각에서 연구 결과의 원인에 대해 논의하였으며, 연구의 한계점과 미래연구의 방향을 확인되었다.
