House building activities of the informal sector constitutes the acquisition, consolidation and use of building materials and labor that may contravene existing standards, but affords them a coping mechanism to a dynamic urban environment. Studies show that the informal housing sector is largely responsible for most of the housing stock catering for the low-income families. / The research aims at understanding the house building activities of the informal sector and is limited to identifying and describing the building materials and building methods employed, together with its underlying networks. / The case study in the informal community of Sitio Pugad Lawin, Las Pinas City, Philippines, found that, the houses were built by its owners with friends and relatives or by small contractors. They used simple timber framing methods, and combinations of indigenous, conventional and non-conventional building materials for the housing elements.

This is a study about the political economy of redemocratization in less developed countries (LDCs). It investigates the politics and economics of restructuring government corporations, as the Philippines returned to representative democracy in 1986. It does so by adopting an expanded version of theories of rent-seeking to explain choices and implementation of privatization policies. The study challenges most works on privatization which primarily attribute slow progress to economic constraints. Instead, it argues that reformist pressures and implementation barriers obtain from explicit calculations of material and political gain by rent-seeking groups. Private and state-based rentiers significantly determine the substantive content as well as the timing and direction of policy reforms, when they are politically valued by fledgling and beleaguered democratic regimes. But rentierism also multiplies under a democratic regime that seeks to end the economic excesses of one-man rule by re-establishing the primacy of business enterprise. The study suggests that the greater challenge to LDCs is to widen public access to state resources and enhance competitive prowess.
