'''Title: 'What's in it for us? A study on the political participation of persons with disabilities in Quezon City'''

'''Abstract:'''
This study examined the political participation of persons with disabilities in Quezon City. It sought to examine how personal factors, such as resources, psychology and recruitment, and the inaccessibility of the environment ultimately leads to disenfranchisement in the sector. A survey was conducted among 40 persons with hearing, orthopedic and visual disability in order to document their experiences during registration and election, the problems they encountered, and the possible solutions to these problems. Key informants such as the barangay focal persons, party-list representatives, and former and current government officials concerned with disability and voting have also been interviewed. Relevant election data were also gathered from the Commission on Elections. By looking at its initiatives, it has been found out that Comelec has incorporated measures in the registration process in order to accommodate persons with disabilities, with the exception of the Accessible Polling Place Act, whose implementation still needs improvement. Lastly, despite personal and environmental barriers preventing them from voting, there is no sufficient evidence to say that the inaccessibility of the election process leads to disenfranchisement, at least in Quezon City, particularly because many persons with disabilities try to work around the system in order to exercise this right.

Abstract
This study examined the political participation of persons with disabilities in Quezon City. It sought to examine how personal factors, such as resources, psychology and recruitment, and the inaccessibility of the environment ultimately leads to disenfranchisement in the sector. A survey was conducted among 40 persons with hearing, orthopedic and visual disability in order to document their experiences during registration and election, the problems they encountered, and the possible solutions to these problems. Key informants such as the barangay focal persons, party-list representatives, and former and current government officials concerned with disability and voting have also been interviewed. Relevant election data were also gathered from the Commission on Elections. By looking at its initiatives, it has been found out that Comelec has incorporated measures in the registration process in order to accommodate persons with disabilities, with the exception of the Accessible Polling Place Act, whose implementation still needs improvement. Lastly, despite personal and environmental barriers preventing them from voting, there is no sufficient evidence to say that the inaccessibility of the election process leads to disenfranchisement, at least in Quezon City, particularly because many persons with disabilities try to work around the system in order to exercise this right.

Journalism Club

2015-07-31T15:58:23Z

Vqretulin: /* Resident Members */

The UP Journalism Club or UPJC as it's more popularly known is an academic organization based in the College of Mass Communication at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

==History==

The UP Journalism Club had its beginnings at the former College of Arts and Sciences in UP Diliman on October, 1954. At that time there was no College of Mass Communication and the potential of harnessing communication as an industrial tool was still untapped. Then Dean Armando Malay was its adviser, and one of its founding members was Communist Party of the Philippines Chairperson Jose Maria Sison.

The early JC was very much in the fore of student involvement, which reached its peak in the ‘60s - or the First Quarter Storm the first period of mass action and student involvement. UPJC not only came out with the Krisis, a Filipino newsletter, but also played an active part in the call for an autonomous Mass Communication Institute. Its efforts saw its fulfillment in 1968.
The tantamount suppression of people’s rights during the country's Martial Law period also took toll on the once outspoken club. UPJC then concentrated on its internal affairs, working for a stronger and a more unified body. Its tradition of criticism and analysis, nevertheless, continued.

By the ‘80s, UPJC found itself on the fore for campaigning for the restoration of the University Student Council, and for student representation in the Board of Regents. The first chairperson of the newly restored council was Malou Mangahas, who was a UPJC member then and who was Editor-in-Chief of the Manila Times.

==Mission==

The UP Journalism Club is committed to the promotion of the professional and ethical standards in journalism through its tradition of critical thought and action.

==Vision==

The formation of educated and well-versed members who uphold the principles of ethical journalism practices.
