DEDICATION This research study is humbly dedicated to the following people who gave me strength to pursue my dreams and

inspired me to fight all the battles that came my way. To: my ever loving, understanding, and supportive parents Mr. Relly Martin Corpuz and Mrs Ma. Victoria Corpuz, my little brother, Christian Relly Corpuz for his prayers, encouragements, moral support and for making me smile whenever Im down, and to my special someone who have been always there for me to support and encourage me. To our instructors, for sharing their knowledge to us, To my groupmates, for their cooperation, sacrifices, and patience in completing this study, thank you! And above all, our ALMIGHTY GOD, who guides us in making this study and our source of our strength, for without His will this would not be possible.
