Title: (Wo)Men’s Sports: An Analysis of the Role of Gender in the Coverage of the UAAP Season 77 Basketball and Volleyball in the Three Leading Metro Manila Newspapers

Abstract: Bacud, A.J. & Chua, G. (2015). ''(Wo)Men's Sports: An Analysis of the Role of Gender in the Coverage of the UAAP Season 77 Basketball and Volleyball in the Three Leading Metro Manila Newspapers'', Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis, University of the Philippines, College of Mass Communication.

Media played an important role in the boost in popularity of the UAAP in 1991 when the tournament was brought closer to the audience through television. Since then, the UAAP gained more media coverage in both the traditional and new media. However, it appears that there is a gap in the print coverage and the popularity of the men's and women's divisions in basketball and volleyball.

This study looked into the coverage of the UAAP Season 77 Men’s and Women’s divisions in basketball and volleyball in the ''Manila Bulletin'', ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'', and ''The Philippine Star'' to determine if gender bias is existing in the coverage of UAAP sports. The study focused on the news production process of the newsrooms and the content of the sports sections of the three newspapers. The study also looked into the reader’s perception of gender in sport. The quantitative-qualitative research design was then used to formulate recommendations in order to solve the gap in the print coverage of the UAAP men's and women's basketball and volleyball.

</div>'''UP Kustura''' is a socio-cultural organization comprising of college students from the [[University of the Philippines, Diliman]], residing in the City of [[Marikina]]. It was founded with the aim of binding and consolidating UP students, who are living in Marikina and of Marikeño lineage, as well as promoting academic and leadership excellence, and advancing the social, cultural, economic, and political consciousness of the people of Marikina.

UP Kustura commits itself to serving the university and the community as a whole through projects and programs that will help preserve and build the pride and dignity of the City of Marikina.
==History==
The founding of UP Kustura is rooted on the inspiration of having a recognized geographic-based or ethnicity-based UP student organization for those who are from the National Capital Region, particularly those who live in Marikina City and/or those who are of Marikeño lineage.

It all started in early 2001 when a small group of students from different colleges in Diliman engaged on the idea of forming a provincial/regional org that would represent the National Capital Region. But since all of them are from Marikina City and they thought that it would require a bigger effort for them to consolidate Metro Manileño/as in the campus, they decided to form a city-org instead, thus giving birth to UP Kustura, a Marikeño Student Organization, the first and only Metro Manila-based city student organization in UP Diliman.

On the 7th day of July, the organization’s constitution (which was written in Filipino) was formally certified by more or less twenty five (25) undergraduate students enrolled in the different colleges of the university. This has also become the organization’s official founding date. In the same year, the founding members were also able to work on the recognition of the org by the university’s Office of Student Affairs as a university-wide city-based student association in UP Diliman.

Since its founding year, UP Kustura continues to commit itself to the ideals of service and excellence while promoting Marikina’s culture and pride, both in the university and in the city it represents.

competitions organized and prepared
by the members of the organization,

to achieve recognition and honour for their respective schools, but also as their

field of
expertise, or academic pursuits. UP

and/or another organization by offering
enriching, educational, creative and/or
recreational classes, lectures, tutorials or
activities as its contribution to making
every UP
student
versatile,
knowledgeable
and well-rounded
individuals.

*'''Workshop Day'''
Workshop Day is an event made to teach, develop and improve the skills of the

current applicants. Usually, if the
numbers permit, the competition is
between
the members and
the
applicants, but changes are done when necessary. The applicants, however, are given
incentives if they happen to win all or a lot of the games.

[[Image:Outreach.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Christmas Party/Outreach program organized for the children of Kasipagan Preparatory School]]

</div>'''UP Kustura''' is a socio-cultural organization comprising of college students from the [[University of the Philippines, Diliman]], residing in the City of [[Marikina]]. It was founded with the aim of binding and consolidating UP students, who are living in Marikina and of Marikeño lineage, as well as promoting academic and leadership excellence, and advancing the social, cultural, economic, and political consciousness of the people of Marikina.

UP Kustura commits itself to serving the university and the community as a whole through projects and programs that will help preserve and build the pride and dignity of the City of Marikina.
==History==
The founding of UP Kustura is rooted on the inspiration of having a recognized geographic-based or ethnicity-based UP student organization for those who are from the National Capital Region, particularly those who live in Marikina City and/or those who are of Marikeño lineage.

It all started in early 2001 when a small group of students from different colleges in Diliman engaged on the idea of forming a provincial/regional org that would represent the National Capital Region. But since all of them are from Marikina City and they thought that it would require a bigger effort for them to consolidate Metro Manileño/as in the campus, they decided to form a city-org instead, thus giving birth to UP Kustura, a Marikeño Student Organization, the first and only Metro Manila-based city student organization in UP Diliman.

On the 7th day of July, the organization’s constitution (which was written in Filipino) was formally certified by more or less twenty five (25) undergraduate students enrolled in the different colleges of the university. This has also become the organization’s official founding date. In the same year, the founding members were also able to work on the recognition of the org by the university’s Office of Student Affairs as a university-wide city-based student association in UP Diliman.

Since its founding year, UP Kustura continues to commit itself to the ideals of service and excellence while promoting Marikina’s culture and pride, both in the university and in the city it represents.
