Data-gathering
This study was conducted in Month Year. In this study, the data collection procedure
observed the following stages:
First, the insert explanation of the validation process of the questionnaire (who
validated the questionnaires, result of validation, items suggested to be added, removed,
modified, etc.) (The research instrument of this study will be subject to validation with three
validators. This is to ensure that the instrument is substantial to the subject matter. The
validators of the research instrument will be: one faculty member from the College of
Commerce, the research adviser and a validator from the industry particularly from a
financial institution that offers depository product. The validators will then rate the
instrument based on their findings. All suggestions of the validators were taken into
consideration by the researchers. The researchers used Good and States validation
measurement form to measure the validity of the research study with the 5 points scale (5Strongly Agree, 4- Agree, 3- Undecided, 2- Disagree and 1- Strongly Disagree) An average
score from the evaluation was computed to check whether the instrument is valid or not.
Second, the insert explanation of the reliability process of the questionnaire (where
was the reliability test conducted, number of respondents during the reliability test, reliability
test results) The instrument used in this study will be subject for reliability test and pilot
testing. The reliability process checks whether the results from the instrument are
consistent. This process will be conducted on at least 30 respondents. These 30 respondents
are not part of the sample. Research questionnaires will be sent out through the use of
Google forms just like the actual study. The researchers will use Cronbach’s Alpha to
measure its level of reliability. According to Taber (2017), a Cronbach’s Alpha result can give
you 0-1 result but can give a negative result too. A result of 0.70 and above means the
instrument is reliable. Our instrument, from the three motivations, yield a results of 0.96.
Thus, the instrument is reliable.

Third, insert explanation on the permission to conduct study
Fourth, insert explanation once permission on the conduct of study is approved
Fifth, insert explanation on the RERC process
Finally, insert explanation on retrieval, encoding, and interpretation of results.
(In gathering of data from the respondents, the researchers utilized Google Forms.
Since Google Forms allowed the respondents to answer the questionnaire through a web-based
form at a time that is most convenient for them and has features in collecting data, which can
be easily transferred to spreadsheets when more detailed analysis is required, at any time, this
was practical to both the researchers and the respondents especially in this time of pandemic
where face-to-face interactions were limited. Before the Google Forms survey questionnaires
was given to the respondents, the researchers made a letter of consent that was addressed to the
Principal of the Senior High School Department to ask permission about the involvement of
the ABM students as the respondents to the study and to request the necessary data of the said
respondents such as their names and their USA email. After the approval of their permission
and request, and the researchers already had the names of the respondents along with their USA
email, the respondents received the Google Forms survey questionnaire via their USA email.
To follow up, the researchers made a Messenger group chat for the respondents and also sent
in there their survey questionnaire. The respondents were given only one chance to answer the
questionnaire, and a week was allotted to them to respond to it. The Google Forms was then
closed and data from the respondents was collected. Then, the data that was gathered will be
organized, analyzed, and presented by the researchers through tables that will be correlated to
the problem and detailed information in the study.
Fourth, insert explanation once permission on the conduct of study is approved
Fifth, insert explanation on the RERC process
Finally, insert explanation on retrieval, encoding, and interpretation of results.

(This study will be conducted only to 18 years old to 65 years old who are regular
employees employed in the four provinces of Panay Island which are Aklan, Antique, Capiz
and Iloilo to ensure that all respondents of this study are of legal age and qualified to
participate in this study. Those below 18 years old and those who are not employed within
Panay Island are not allowed to participate in this study. Also, this study respects the
willingness of the respondents to take part in this research endeavor. Thus, only those
qualified respondents who volunteered to be part of the study will be given the chance to
participate. There are some risks that are anchored in the conduct of this study such as the
risk on disclosing personal information. Thus, a consent form is given out to ensure the
respondents are assured that all the data that will be taken from them will be handed with
confidentiality and prudence. As there are risks involved in this study, there are also benefits
such as the respondent will be able to access the results upon publication of the conclusions,
aside from the benefits this study gives to all stakeholders mentioned above.)
