ACKNOWLEDEGEMENTS
We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for your help and
encouragement in completing this paper. This work would not have been possible
without the assistance of our friends, family, classmates, and, most importantly, the
teachers who guided us through this study.
First and foremost, we would like to thank our adviser, who is also our Practical
Research 2 subject teacher, Ms. Sharlene Ann Isidoro, for providing us with the
opportunity to learn and conduct research under her supervision. We will never forget
how she taught us to think critically, as well as her ongoing support and feedback
throughout the course of this study. Also, thank you to Ma’am Salvacion, Ma’am
Jenny and Ma’am Raissa for giving up their valuable time to be our research panelists.
We are incredibly appreciative of our parents’ love, prayers, concern, and
sacrifices in order to raise us and get us ready for the future. Without their belief in us
and commitment to our education, we could never continue our studies. They have
helped us both morally and financially and encouraged us.
And lastly, to the Lord God Almighty who gave us hope and knowledge
throughout this study. Whenever we lose hope to continue on this study, just one prayer
to Him, anything will be alright. He gave us the inspiration to pursue on this study by
giving those persons behind our back whenever we needed.
