Free For All: The Cost Of Political Freedom Without Competence Standards, Siou-Sian Chen, Justine S. Leomo

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

In democratic societies, political participation is a fundamental right, allowing every citizen, regardless of background, to run for office.

The tension between democratic inclusivity and the need for competent leadership becomes particularly relevant in educational settings where future leaders are shaped. This study aims to explore how student leaders perceive and experience political freedom in the absence of defined competence criteria in leadership roles. Guided by a transcendental phenomenological design, the study involved 20 purposively selected student leaders from Columban College, Inc., Basic …

Video: A Media Revolution?

Communication Research Trends

Revolutions connected with technical inventions have been proclaimed, rightly and wrongly, so often in the recent past that it would seem appropriate to look for another expression just to avoid the danger of trivialization.

An Intersectional Textual Analysis Of Lesbian Representation In Baka Bukas And Si Chedeng At Si Apple, Sofia Lorraine V. Dela Peña, Mikaela Zaira V. Aguilar

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

Media plays a crucial role in shaping public perceptions of gender and sexuality, yet representations of queer female characters in Philippine cinema remain underexplored. While portrayals of bakla characters have been widely studied, lesbian narratives often remain sidelined or framed through limited, stereotypical lenses. This lack of nuanced representation perpetuates narrow understandings of queer identity and reinforces gendered power structures within Philippine society. This research examines lesbian characters in the films Baka Bukas (2016) and Si Chedeng at Si Apple (2017), using Herman’s Narrative Framework and Intersectionality Theory. The study found that both films construct lesbian identities within specific socio-cultural …
