For the purpose of this study, examples were drawn from various news articles published on CNN Philippines, Inquirer.net, and pna.gov.ph that covered the years 2020 and 2021. The analysis makes use of the Nvivo software to produce a Word Cloud, which is a list of the terms and keywords that occurred the most frequently over the specified time period. Additionally, the percentage of variable analysis, also known as the percentage of media reporting narratives against predetermined variables, was also calculated. The variables that were used in this study were UNWTO recommendations that were compiled in relation to the tourism sector as a response to the impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The media has assumed a prominent position during the epidemic as a result of the value and utility it serves in today's modern society. The role of the media in society is also on display during the pandemic, as evidenced by the media's constant dissemination of pandemic-related information and the creation of hospitable conditions in the community at large, particularly in the tourism sector, where it plays an active role in disseminating crucial information to the various actors in Indonesia's tourism industry.

However, data shows a substantial infrastructural gap among member-states with a significant constraint on physical connectivity at the regional level. This stark reality on the infrastructure gap is relevant to the Philippines as it continued to lag behind other ASEAN members on the infrastructure pillar of the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index (WorldBank,2018).This paper looks into the domestic affairs of the Philippines in terms of financial capacity, governance scheme, and stability-security situation - and its implications on the country’s infrastructural gap in the ASEAN Region. Content analysis is used in exploring the literature, including ASEAN papers, academic essays, international organizations, government reports, and other related documents. Findings revealed that the Philippines exhibit wide infrastructural gaps that have long compromise edits competitiveness. Specifically, the Philippines faces severe domestic problems such as reduced spending on infrastructural development, coupled with critical institutional challenges and issues on stability and security. This paper argues the primacy of good governance as the precondition for a well-connected and sustainable infrastructure. Hence, reforms should focus on structuring domestic politics to address the infrastructural gaps. Changes may include the adaption of mechanisms to control corruption, ensures effective coordination among agencies, and improves the absorptive capacity in managing and implementing infrastructural projects.","PeriodicalId":30822,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Studi Pemerintahan","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74742943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative and qualitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Findings showed that herders used ungoverned spaces as hideouts to carry out attacks against the communities. Herder-farmer conflict led to loss of lives, destruction of property, disruption of socio-economic activities, food insecurity and distrust among ethnic groups. Amotekun security outfit plays crucial roles in monitoring and checkmating herders who use the unmanned forests as hideouts. Anti-grazing law is effective in restricting the movement of herders causing crop destruction. It recommended that the ungoverned spaces should be used for siting of local industries, tourist centres and mechanised farm settlements in order to create employment opportunities, boost food production and eliminate hideouts for the criminal elements.

Previous research suggests that the susceptibility of leaders to act in an unethical way is rooted in various individual, organizational, and social factors. However, unethical leadership is scarcely examined in the context of African countries. This study explores the role of poor leadership skills and qualities in eliciting unethical leadership behavior in Algerian public organizations. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, 15 leaders and managers were included in series of in-depth interviews. The results of the data analysis revealed that poor leadership skills and competencies are critical antecedents of unethical leadership behavior within Algerian public organizations. This study contributes to the ongoing research efforts that seek to identify and minimize the causes of unethical behaviors of leaders across sectors and disciplines. This study provides insights into the construct of unethical leadership and how individual, organizational, and social factors predict leaders’ unethical behavior. While there are many studies on the issue of unethical leadership, research on the potential role of poor leadership skills in eliciting unethical behavior is scarce, especially in Algeria.
