Incarceration is conceptualized as a high-impact disruption inducing a "Hedonic Void"—a psychological state of acute sensory and material deprivation. The research evaluates how PDLs navigate this void to achieve internal fortification (Makalig-on) and "Functional Recovery," effectively decoupling inner spiritual agency from physical confinement. A Thesis for a Master's in Spiritual Studies that the authors serve their sentences inside a cell.

Academic Frontiers, 2(5), 83–94. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20193209 Read File Author(s) Taganas et al. Abstract Ang mga metapora ng Surigaonon ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng estruktura ng wika at isang salamin ng kultura ng mga tagapagsalita nito. Ang pag-aaral na ito, na pinamagatang "Pagsipat sa Surigaonon Metaphors: Isang Leksyograpikong Pag-aaral at Pagtatala ng mga Madalas Gamiting Metaporang Pambayan," ay nag-aaral at nagtatala ng mga metaporang ito. Ang layunin ng pag-aaral ay tukuyin, ilarawan, at mabigyang-kahulugan ang ilang mga metapora sa loob ng komunidad ng Surigaonon batay sa kanilang literal na anyo, matalinghagang paggamit, at kontekstuwal na pagpapakahulugan. Ang mga metapora ng bayan na karaniwang ginagamit sa pang-araw-araw na komunikasyon ay naitala at sinusuri sa pamamagitan ng dulong leksyograpiko sa pag-aaral. Ang pagsusuri ay nagpakita na ang mga metaporang Surigaonon ay may malakas na koneksyon sa kalikasan, karanasang panlipunan, kabuhayan, emosyon, at mga pagpapahalagang kultural ng pamayanan. Ipinakita ng mga ito na ang wika ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng pagkakakilanlang kultural, karunungang-bayan, at kamalayan ng komunidad, bukod sa isang tool sa komunikasyon. Bilang karagdagan, ipinakita ng pag-aaral na ang mga metaporang ito ay tumutulong sa pagbibigay ng mas malalim na pag-unawa sa mga karanasan at pananaw ng mga Surigaonon tungkol sa kanilang kapaligiran at lipunan. Gayunpaman, ang pag-aaral ay nagpapakita na ang paggamit ng mga tradisyunal na metaporang Surigaonon ay unti-unting bumababa bilang resulta ng mga bagong teknolohiya, midya, at globalisasyon, lalo na sa mga kabataan. Dahil dito, binibigyang-diin ng pananaliksik na ang pagpapanatili ng lokal na wika at kulturang Surigaonon ay nangangailangan ng dokumentasyon, preserbasyon, at pagpapatuloy ng paggamit ng mga katutubong pahayag. Sa kabuuan, ipinakita ng pag-aaral na ang metapora ay isang mahalagang mapagkukunan ng kasaysayan, karanasan, at pagkakakilanlan ng isang pamayanan, bukod sa pagiging isang solong estilistikong elemento ng wika.

Description Irrigation systems in many developing countries, including the Philippines, often underperform (Suhardiman et al., 2014). The country depends heavily on irrigation for food and water security (Moya, 2018). However, frequent floods—especially in the lower Pampanga River Basin—have limited irrigation effectiveness. Among the five national irrigation systems (NIS) in the Pampanga Basin, AMRIS and PADRIS are notable. Despite their design areas (31,400 ha for AMRIS and 11,540 ha for PADRIS), they irrigate far less. PADRIS, for instance, irrigated only 6,900 ha in the dry season and even less during the rainy season due to flooding risks. Factors such as limited water, land use shifts, poor infrastructure, and climate impacts continue to reduce irrigation reach (Tabios & de Leon, 2020).
