| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to clarify, from anthropological point of view, the structure of daily life and social relationship of market network in selected fishing villages and port towns in Central and Western Visayas, Philippines.
1. In Suba, a port town in Bantayan Island, Northern Cebu, "Kob-Kob (ring net)" fishing, which is a typical middle-scale commercial fishing in the area, works as a social integrative factor. The fishing group headed by fishing master is organized the clews from Suba and the surrounded areas. This fishing method provides a lot of employment opportunities as temporary clew, net caretakers, and family-based dried fish producers. Through fresh cath and dried fish marketing, the buy-and-sell networks are formed with chains of advanced credits. This can be called "Kob-Kob Complex".
2. In Siquijor Island, especially in the inland villages, rich folk belied and Catholicism are webed into daily life and contribute to preservation of the traditional way of life. The strong transactional process of the sea and hill area are observed in economical and religious activities. Not only the real kinship but the ritual kinship (compadrazgo) plays an important role to form and maintain the social network.
3. The traditional fishing activity in the sea and coastal area of Panay Island is characterized by the variety of marine culture such as mud flat fishing culture complex, coral reef fishing culture complex, and sandy beach fishing culture complex. A problem of fishing in Panay is the discontinuity of the traditional and commercial fishing, which prohibits transition or development of the latter into the former. The small-scale, self-sufficient and family based fishing had been maintained as it provides more chances for people to join because of the small size of capital.
