ABSTRACT
There had been many studies conducting about evaluating the basic commodities of
resident’s in their daily lifestyle. However, results varies in different settings whether urban or
rural, the very reason why the researcher choose tis study. This study focused on the item of
“Evaluating the Basic Commodities of Resident’s Daily Lifestyle at Barangay New San Jose
Dinalupihan, Bataan”. This study conducted to find out the things that evaluating the basic
commodities of resident’s daily lifestyle in particular are. The study sought to prove the
alternative hypothesis that there are significant relationship between Resident’s Basic
Commodities and types of needs and there are significant differences in the respondents’
response in the item of evaluating the basic commodities of resident’s daily lifestyle when they
grouped according to their Age, Sex, and Monthly Income. The instrument used by the
researcher is the questionnaire in the form of checklist also called likert scale. The researcher
conducted intensive reading of literature and studies in order to come up with the question that
appropriate with study conducted and the question that will be listed on the questionnaires. The
questionnaire of the researcher contains two parts: the Profiles of the respondents and the second
one are the items in evaluating the basic commodities of resident’s daily lifestyle. . The
constructed questionnaire is then presented to the research instructor or the subject teacher that
directive the research subject for the validation of its content. The study used quantitative
method mainly the descriptive Statistics getting the Frequency, Percentage, Weighted Mean, and
Rank in organizing, describing, analysing, and presenting the data. The researchers used a
Descriptive-Quantitative method to examine the current condition of the variables involved in
the study as well as to successfully achieve the objectives set by the researchers in collecting
necessary data present in the environment which provided organized information related to the
problem. It was presented in the tabular form containing numerical data showing the variable
differentiations. Through the said method, the researcher cope with 100 respondents to answer
the self-developed survey questions from the Barangay New San Jose, Dinalupihan, Bataan.
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
The result of the study that gathered by the researcher showed that there were high significant
relationship between Resident’s Basic Commodities and types of needs and there are significant
differences in the respondents’ response in the item of evaluating the basic commodities of
resident’s daily lifestyle when they grouped according to their Age, Sex, and Monthly Income.
Therefore, the profile of the respondents plays important role in decision making about
consuming their basic commodities.

CHAPTER ONE
The Problem and its Background
Introduction:
According to De Lima, Liliana (2016), that the basic needs approach is one of the major
approaches to the measurement of absolute poverty in developing countries. It attempts to define
the absolute minimum resources necessary for long-term physical well-being, usually in terms of
consumption goods. The poverty line is then defined as the amount of income required to satisfy
those needs. A term used by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and other United
Nations agencies for the basic goods and services (food, shelter, clothing, sanitation, education,
etc.) necessary for a minimum standard of living.
These basic needs are also incorporated in the WHO concept of prerequisites for health,
which are those necessities without which medical care and other investments for improving
health, such as health promotion, can have little lasting effect. Defining basic needs is one of the
key approaches to the measurement of absolute poverty in developing countries. It attempts to
define the absolute minimum resources necessary for long-term physical well-being, usually in
terms of consumption of goods. The poverty line is then defined as the amount of income
required to satisfy those needs.
A traditional list of immediate "basic needs" is food, water, shelter and clothing. Many
modern lists emphasize the minimum level of consumption of 'basic needs' of not just food,
water, clothing and shelter, but also sanitation, education, healthcare, and internet.
In addition, Erasmus, Susan (2016), entitled “Why people buy things they don’t need?” is
when people had all the basic needs in life like shelter, food, security, warmth. If they didn’t
somehow provide for these basic needs, they probably wouldn’t live very long. People buy big
things they don’t need, such as a huge house for only 4 people, or a second or third car. The
expensive things in old days people used to see as luxuries are now viewed by many people as
essentials. In modern days people viewed that it is essentials by seeing it in everyday lives and
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
they want to go along with the modernization. This may cause that they can set aside the things
they needed in their daily lifestyle for the luxury things they viewed as essentials.
In todays’ world, the people compatriot to the trending things even it is expensive. They
adhere to buy a cheap one to go along with the new ones. In observation to some elite people
they use their money for having fun and buying things they like but the people who has only
enough money to buy food they need to eat three times a day.
Furthermore, Cassano, Jay (2015), entitled “The Science of Why You Should Spend
Your Money On Experiences, Not Things” that most people are in the pursuit of happiness.
There are economists who think happiness is the best indicator of the health of a society. We
know that money can make you happier, though after your basic needs are met, it doesn’t make
you that much happier. But one of the biggest questions is how to allocate our money, which is
for most of us a limited resource.
“One of the enemies of happiness is adaptation,” says Dr. Thomas Gilovich, a
psychology professor at Cornell University who has been studying the question of money and
happiness for over two decades. “We buy things to make us happy, and we succeed but only for
a while. New things are exciting to us at first, but then we adapt to them.” So rather than buying
the latest iPhone or a new BMW, Gilovich suggests you’ll get more happiness spending money
on experiences like going to art exhibits, doing outdoor activities, learning a new skill, or
traveling.
Another reason is that shared experiences connect us more to other people than shared
consumption. You’re much more likely to feel connected to someone you took a vacation with in
Bogotá than someone who also happens to have bought a 4K TV.
In the subject of economics the teacher teach more about valuing decisions and time
management. In valuing decision there is always a word of choice. In making decision of people
who has higher amount of salary buy something new or trending and wasting their money to the
things that only make themselves good looking. Also they spending their money for travelling to
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
have fun and memories but the decision of people who has enough salary buy something
valuable and enough to their salary. In managing of time there’s always a thing that people need
to sacrifice like for example when a person use his time in traveling around, he left his time of
bonding with his family and friends. In Economics subject there’s always a word sacrifice and
choices of things, people or something. People must be a wise individual in using limited time
every day and in using limited chances.
Therefore, this study is to determine the factors that affect Evaluating the Basic
Commodities of Resident’s Daily Lifestyle at Barangay New San Jose Dinalupihan, Bataan.

CHAPTER TWO
Theoretical Framework
This chapter includes the relevant theories, relevant literature, and relevant studies which
are integral part of the problem to determine the similarities and differences of the past studies
with the present study. Studies made by the writers were analyzed to serve as substantial
reference and provide valuable information to support this present studies.
RELEVANT THEORIES
a. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (1943)
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow
in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review. Maslow's
hierarchy of needs have five levels each level includes the basic needs in life.
First, Physiological Needs the basic physiological needs are probably fairly
apparent—these include the things that are vital to our survival like food, water, breathing,
and homeostasis. In addition to the basic requirements of nutrition, air and temperature
regulation, the physiological needs also include such things as shelter and clothing. Maslow
also included sexual reproduction in this level of the hierarchy of needs since it is essential to
the survival and propagation of the species.
Second, Security and Safety Needs At this level, the needs for security and safety
become primary. People want control and order in their lives, so this need for safety and
security contributes largely to behaviors at this level. Some of the basic security and safety
needs includes financial security, health and wellness, safety against accidents and injury.
Third is the Social Needs that include such things as love, acceptance, and belonging.
At this level, the need for emotional relationships drives human behavior. Some of the things
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
that satisfy this need includes friendships, romantic attachments, family, social groups,
community groups, and churches and religious organizations. In order to avoid problems
such as loneliness, depression, and anxiety, it is important for people to feel loved and
accepted by other people.
At the fourth level Esteem Needs is the need for appreciation and respect. At this
point, it becomes increasingly important to gain the respect and appreciation of others.
People have a need to accomplish things and then have their efforts recognized. People who
are able to satisfy the esteem needs by achieving good self-esteem and the recognition of
others tend to feel confident in their abilities. Those who lack self-esteem and the respect of
others can develop feelings of inferiority. Together, the esteem and social levels make up
what is known as the psychological needs of the hierarchy. People who are able to satisfy the
esteem needs by achieving good self-esteem and the recognition of others tend to feel
confident in their abilities. Those who lack self-esteem and the respect of others can develop
feelings of inferiority.
Lastly, According to Maslow’s definition of self-actualization "It may be loosely
described as the full use and exploitation of talents, capabilities, potentialities, etc. Such
people seem to be fulfilling themselves and to be doing the best that they are capable of
doing. They are people who have developed or are developing to the full stature of which
they capable." Self-actualizing people are self-aware, concerned with personal growth, less
concerned with the opinions of others, and interested fulfilling their potential.
In this theory is about the basic needs of an individual to live happy and smooth life.
There is always a basis to be a wonderful person in this society. In living, there’s always a
hitch to live successful like when people does not have income to afford shelter or even food
for a day. There’s always a struggle reaching those five levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of
Needs. As a researcher there’s always a hindrance gathering those information to make this
research completely done and to access relevant information for the research problem. Also,
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
to be successful in this modern days you need to have self-confidence and trust to yourself
that you can do everything even when people at your side pulling you down.
b. Choice Theory (1975)
According to Glasser, W. (1975), Choice Theory emphasizes that only we are
responsible for all of behaviors we have displayed and we make internal decisions always
whatever the external conditions are, and the aim of our behaviors is to fulfill our basic
needs. In choice theory approach, it is maintained that humans come into the world with five
basic needs which are coded their genetic endowment in the long evolution process, and
these needs are named as survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, fun.
In this theory, the choice theory is all about the five basic needs of an individual in
this world which is a long time needs that an individual can live without. Also, how
responsible and critical thinker the person to be successful and provide the basic needs in
their daily life. This Choice Theory also indicate the power of mind in thinking what is
needed and what must be done in a situation. In real life situation if a teacher ask student to
answer the question there is a choice if a student think critically to answer those question or
the student remain silent.
c. Alderfer's ERG Theory
Early in his career, while studying needs in organizations, he formulated the
Existence, Relatedness, and Growth (ERG) Theory, for which he is best known. Clayton P.
Alderfer first presented the ERG Theory of Motivation in 1969 in his article, "An Empirical
Test of a New Theory of Human Need.” The ERG theory attempted to improve upon
Maslow's needs hierarchy by allowing more flexibility of movement between needs.
Alderfer decreased the number of levels and allowed the order of the needs to vary by the
individual; he also allowed for different needs to be pursued simultaneously. Needs were
separated into three separate categories. First is the Existence Needs which include
physiological and safety needs, the most concrete of needs, such as food, shelter, and water.
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
Then, Relatedness Needs which include Social relationships and external esteem (e.g.
involvement with family, friends, co-workers). Lastly, Growth Needs which include internal
esteem and self-actualization, the most abstract of needs as they do not involve physical
aspects. (e.g. desire to be creative or productive)
In this theory Alderfer said that individual can do simultaneously work in a same path
of time when it is needed. This theory contained only three levels of needs and this can be
done together. In relating in real life situation if a person can think they can say it together.
d. Scheler: Hierarchy of Values
Max Scheler is German social and ethical philosopher. He is remembered for his
phenomenological approach, he was strongly opposed to the philosophical method of the
founder of phenomenology. First level of the Hierarchy of Values is Values of Utility which
include economics, government/juncture point with vital urge. Second level of the Hierarchy
of Values is the Sensual Values which includes the agreeable and disagreeable. Third, is the
Vital Values which nobel and vulgar is included. Then, Mental (Physics) Values include the
beautiful and ugly, right and wrong, and the truth and falsehood. Lastly, Values of the Holy
and Unholy which means the divine and idols.
In this theory said that there is a base from our lives what we need to do or what make
thing right or wrong and how it impact our own decisions and our faithfulness.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

According to Matthew Hilton that in the first half of the twentieth century, consumer
issues were articulated by women's organizations on the political left and the consumer was
considered largely a working-class housewife within official consumer politics. By mid-century,
an increasingly dominant view of the consumer was that of the middle-class housewife, and a
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
host of socially conservative women's groups came to speak for the consumer. By the 1950s,
while the definition of the consumer remained contested, it had increasingly become a gender-
neutral category, as business groups defined consumer interests in government committees and
an emerging affluent consumer movement inscribed consumerism with the values of a male
professional class.
According to Reuben Gronau that adult equivalence scales are supposed to measure
differences in the "needs" of households of different demographic composition. Formally, they
purport to measure the change in the cost of attaining a certain welfare level when the family
composition varies. When welfare is the utility parents derive from their own consumption, one
has to assume separability of parents' and children's consumption. This assumption implies that
the only way of imputing the intrafamily allocation of resources is by observing the consumption
patterns of adult goods.
Lastly, Seringhaus Rolf (2002) that Chinese consumers compared to the Japanese luxury
consumers pay more attention to reflect the personality; Chinese consumers are mostly regarded
as a luxury to purchase individual social status and wealth of performance. Chinese consumers
buy luxury goods to meet their consumption needs. Although still a large proportion of the
people buy goods in China's luxury consumption, and then gradually began to select Chinese
consumers have the luxury for you. Today's Chinese consumers are not only prestige brands and
fashion designers attract, they also desire to have meaning and value of the product planning.
And highlight the complete experience can strengthen this value. However, at present, Chinese
consumers spend more on personal luxury. The extent of China's affluent consumers are not
high, there is no spending power to buy villas, luxury cars or family vacation overseas, at this
stage, their spending more focused on personal items, such as cosmetics, perfumes and watches
and etc.

According to Amiel Joshua et al. (2017), that Consumer Behavior Among Filipinos With
the change brought by innovation and economic progress to the world, people around the globe
have shifted their spending behaviors from functional to materialistic and aesthetic purposes.
Driven by this behavior, vanity became an area of study for numerous researchers, made popular
as a predictor of a person’s materialism. Choosing vanity goods over spending for functionalism
can be seen as problematic given the economic status of the majority of Filipinos.
In addition, Euromonitor International (2018), entitled Consumer Lifestyles in the
Philippines that despite stubbornly high levels of income inequality, the middle class is
expanding, driving increased demand for a wide range of modern products and services. Both
average disposable income and consumer expenditure have increased, particularly among
younger, educated urban households. Younger consumers have also helped drive considerable
growth of internet and mobile internet retailing. The increasing number of single-person and
smaller households is boosting demand for compact household items.
Euromonitor's Consumer Lifestyles in the Philippines report analyses factors influencing
national consumer expenditure. Consumer lifestyles reports include coverage of: population,
urban development, home ownership, household profiles, labour, income, consumer and family
expenditure, health, education, eating habits, drinking habits, shopping habits, personal
grooming, clothing, leisure habits, savings and investments, media, communication, transport
and travel and tourism. That people first things to do is their needs for everyday lives and their
health care.
Furthermore, Research Hong Kong Trade Development Council (2017), entitled The
Philippines: Accessing the Consumer Market that the country’s income gradually improving,
growing numbers of Filipino consumers have been able to spend more on both products and
services to improve their living standards. The major cities and metropolitans are experiencing a
housing boom, especially in Metro Manila and Calabarzon. Families are moving into modern
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
housing units equipped with home electronics. White goods such as fridges, washing machines
and air conditioning units are in demand.
The fact that the Philippines has a young, tech-savvy population indicates that there
should be good market potential for products like smartphones, electronic tablets, and related
peripherals such as selfie lenses, cases and earphones. There is also a demand for lifestyle
products, including clothing, footwear and accessories. All this ties in well with Hong Kong
businesses’ interests. Based on official trade statistics, clothing & clothing accessories, toys,
games & sporting goods and footwear are the major Hong Kong products exported to the
Philippines. Compared with products from other ASEAN countries and the Chinese mainland,
Hong Kong products are known for their good design and quality rather than low price.
REVIEW OF RELATED STUDY
Foreign
According to According to María L. Sanz de Acedo Lizárraga, María T. Sanz de Acedo
Baquedano, and y María Cardelle-Elawar (2007) that the process of decision making is one of
the most complex mechanisms of human thinking, as various factors and courses of action
intervene in it, with different results. The theories that study decisions can be grouped into two
perspectives: normative and descriptive. The normative perspective explains the choice of
individuals who are behaving rationally in a task that requires decision making and -using
statistical models- predicts the subjects’ responses from the information provided about each
alternative. The descriptive perspective explains how individuals actually choose, that is, the
psychological processes and the task and environmental characteristics that underlie judgments
and choices. One of the basic differences between these viewpoints is the way they consider the
decision maker. The normative viewpoint confers an “unlimited” processing capacity on decision
makers that allows them to examine exhaustively all the possible alternatives and choose the
best. The descriptive perspective grants a “limited” processing capacity that often leads decision
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
makers to make mistakes when considering complex and dynamic tasks, although they tend to
choose options that satisfy them.
Then, according to Yasmeena Kibaida (2017) entitled A Commodity’s Value and the
Social Relationship between Products of Labour that the relationship between the producers of
commodities is forced to take up a social aspect when considering the value in those
commodities; this creates a social relation between the products themselves in terms of how they
are regarded in society by producers and consumers. In highlighting this social relationship,
Marx adds another humanizing aspect to the processes surrounding the production and
consumption of commodities, and once there exists a social relationship between products and
producers, it becomes hard to disregard humans and their labour as an essential yet sometimes
morally inconvenient part of making a product.
Lastly, Marcie Roth (2015), entitled Everyone Must Be Prepared For Emergencies that
the importance of preparing ourselves for disasters is universal. Emergencies can happen
anywhere - at home or at work - and everyone must take action to prepare for emergencies in
case something unexpected happens.
However, the truth is there's no one-size-fits-all solution to being prepared. Everyone
must be prepared to be their own "emergency manager." When disaster strikes, people may have
to be able to survive on their own for 72 hours or more without access to power, food, or
transportation. People also should think about their own situation and what additional needs a
person might have.

According to Paulo Alcazaren that the bureau advised people to shift to homes of “strong
materials.” This meant the use of stone, concrete, and tin roofs, rather than wood or bamboo with
nipa or thatch roofs. Many towns, and the few cities in the Philippines then, were passing
ordinances to allow only stone of concrete for structures in their central districts. Damage from
fire, typhoons and earthquakes was a prime concern. Privacy was also a goal of modern homes,
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
“Well-planned houses should give first consideration to the bedrooms. Houses, which are built as
one big room, with a small one adjoining it for dressing and for keeping clothing and bedding,
can be remodeled. Another method of securing privacy is to use screens to divide the larger room
into smaller sleeping spaces.
In addition, Imoney (2013), even though that health care is not really a main concern for
Filipinos even in this modern age and back, Filipinos are suddenly becoming aware what health
care can do for the majority. Quite recently with the on- going battle with Reproductive Health
Bill passed in the Senate, joint efforts by the media and organizations has made clear that taking
care of your body is definitely an important discussion that needs our careful attention.
Furthermore, people are definitely concerned on what is deducted on their pay each and
every month. Not many know that unlike in the US wherein Healthcare is not mandatory, the
Philippine law states exactly that health care should be top priority for the working force.
Lastly, Darin Jan Tindowen & Luisa Aquino (2016), entitled “Exploring the Socio-
economic Life of Sidewalk vendors” that for today’s world, urbanization has been considered as
one of the primary keys for societal development and progress. As a result, many people
congregate to cities and urban areas in search of better opportunities and quick money. However,
not all individuals who migrated to trade centers can equally reap its fruits. As an effect, many
individuals engaged to sidewalk vending. This study aimed to determine the impact of sidewalk
vending in the socio-economic life of sidewalk vendors around the vicinity of a Catholic
university in the Philippines. Descriptive survey and interviews were conducted to determine the
personal and demographic profiles, business profile, monthly priority budget, and the impact of
sidewalk vending to the lives of the sidewalk vendors. The study concluded that sidewalk
vending plays a significant role in the lives of the sidewalk vendors in terms of economic
survival. However, the extent of its impact is only enough to attend to their basic needs and to
feed their families.

Methodology
Discussed in this chapter are the entire process of the study and the essential procedures
that were used by the researcher in conducting the study which includes the method and
technique of the study, population, sampling size, research instrument, preparation, validation,
administration, data gathering procedure, and statistical treatment that data had undergone.
Method of Research
The researchers used a Descriptive-Quantitative method to examine the current condition
of the variables involved in the study as well as to successfully achieve the objectives set by the
researchers in collecting necessary data present in the environment which provided organized
information related to the problem. It was presented in the tabular form containing numerical
data showing the variable differentiations.
Descriptive approach sought to evaluate the status and profile of a specific variable; it
was also used to explore a cause of an idea. This was used for the readers to understand the
information gathered in the most convenient way. The gathered data represents events and
provides systematic information about the problem (Wyse, 2011).
A survey was used in this study to collect the needed information. The term “survey”
refers to a systematic way of collecting information from a group of individuals through asking
them an identical set or sets of questions to be most valid, the group should have representative
of the whole community that it came from it (Aday & Cornelius, 2006). Using a survey to collect
information about any community or a subgroup from that community has some positive points.
First, it helps collect data from many people in a short time. Next, it can be a cost-effective way
to collect data (Blackstone, 2012). Also, the survey approach helps the participants stay
anonymous, especially if sensitive information is being collected. The survey also can help
prevent the researcher effect, which reduces bias by giving a standardized set of question paper,
which everyone can answer privately without (Yount, 2006).

The table 1 shows the frequency and the percentage got on the residence in New San
Jose, Dinalupihan, Bataan that out of 100 respondents there is 77 female who got 77 percent and
23 male who got 23 percent. Based on the research on residence in New San Jose, Dinalupihan,
Bataan it has the most number of respondent were female dominated so that they had the bigger
percentage.
Research Instrument
The researchers used the survey questionnaire method and interview. In survey
questionnaire the respondents had to put a mark (the most common were check marks on the
answer sheet) depending on what the questionnaire demands. Questions were in descriptive-
quantitative form. While in the interview conducted, same questions are asked by the researchers
to the interviewed respondents. After getting the answers from the survey and interviews, the
collected data was measured and interpreted through statistical methods.
Four parts were constructed in the survey for data gathering. The first part was the profile
of the respondent. Second part was the level of awareness. Third part was the level of perception,
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
and the last was the level of acceptance includes a set of questions regarding to the factors in the
basic commodities of resident’s daily lifestyle.
Preparation
The instrument used by the researcher is the questionnaire in the form of checklist also
called likert scale. The researcher conducted intensive reading of literature and studies in order to
come up with the question that appropriate with study conducted and the question that will be
listed on the questionnaires. The questionnaire of the researcher contains two parts: the Profiles
of the respondents and the second one is the items in evaluating the basic commodities of
resident’s daily lifestyle. The constructed questionnaire is then presented to the research
instructor or the subject teacher that directive the research subject for the validation of its
content.
Validation
The researcher prepared a list of questions based on the research problem. They asked the
thesis instructor or the subject teacher that directive the research subject to improve the
instrument. The content of the questionnaire will validated by the subject teacher and made a
correction to some questions. After checking, some items are revised and add some information
needed. Then, the researcher will produce hard copies of the questionnaire and then it will be
distributed to the respondents.
Administration
The researchers sought the approval of the New San Jose Dinalupihan, Bataan barangay
captain in administering the questionnaire to the resident’s with the help of their subject teacher.
Data Gathering Procedure
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
Collection of data was divided into two phases: first was the gathering of all the
information and data which came from the libraries and other information mainstreams were
used in building and theoretical foundation of the study and second, the field research demands.
To gather secondary data such as books, dissertations and journals related to the study,
the researcher went to different libraries to look for additional information that supported the
study.
Statistical Treatment of Data
Using questionnaire, the researcher gathered the data and information needed. The
following statistical treatment used to analyze the gathered data.
Frequency. It is used to determine the number of respondents with the same response in
an item or statements
Percentage. It can be obtained by dividing the frequency to the total number of
respondents. Multiplied by 100, rank was put to show which item has the highest and lowest
response.
Rank. It was used to put the response in some special order in lists.
1. Frequency / Percentage Distribution
This tool was used to classify the respondents according to their sex, age,
economic status and monthly income. The frequency also presents the actual response of
the respondents to a specific question or item in the questionnaires. The percentage of
each item was computed by dividing it with the sample number of respondents which
answered the survey. The formula is as follows:
𝐹
% = ( ) 100
𝑁
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
Where:
% = percentage of distribution
F = frequency of distribution
N = number of respondents
100 is a constant value
2. Weighted Mean
It is a statistical process calculating the average computed data gathered by the
researcher from the survey questionnaires by the respondents. It is important to determine
the initial result of the study based on the respondents’ actual respond and perceptions in
the following terms. Determining the weighted mean is the primary procedure that is used
to apply to data collected because its result is the primary component use further
statistical processes that may give better findings and results to the study.
The formula used to compute mean is:
𝐴𝑉𝐸
Formula: WM= 𝑛
Where in: WN – Weighted mean
AVE – Average per unit
n – Total number of respondents
The scale below will be taken from Likert.
Scale Quantitative Description
4 3.26 - 4 Strongly Agree

Introduction
This chapter consists of the presentation analyze and interpretation of data. This chapter
includes the data gathered technique questionnaire. The data were analyzed and interpreted using
frequency, percentage and weighted mean. Tables were presented for better understanding and
clarity. This data answer the specific questions cited on chapter 1.
Respondent’s Profile
The following tables reflect the frequency distribution of the respondents according to
their sex, age, and monthly income.

According to Reuben Gronau that adult equivalence scales are supposed to measure
differences in the "needs" of households of different demographic composition. Formally, they
purport to measure the change in the cost of attaining a certain welfare level when the family
composition varies. When welfare is the utility parents derive from their own consumption, one
has to assume separability of parents' and children's consumption. This assumption implies that
the only way of imputing the intrafamily allocation of resources is by observing the consumption
patterns of adult goods.
These data revealed that the consumption of goods of adult is more than the consumption
of young adulthood.

The table 3 shows the frequency and the percentage got on the residence in New San
Jose, Dinalupihan, Bataan that out of 100 respondents there is 77 female who got 77 percent and
23 male who got 23 percent.
According to Matthew Hilton that in the first half of the twentieth century, consumer
issues were articulated by women's organizations on the political left and the consumer was
considered largely a working-class housewife within official consumer politics. By mid-century,
an increasingly dominant view of the consumer was that of the middle-class housewife, and a
host of socially conservative women's groups came to speak for the consumer. By the 1950s,
while the definition of the consumer remained contested, it had increasingly become a gender-
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
neutral category, as business groups defined consumer interests in government committees and
an emerging affluent consumer movement inscribed consumerism with the values of a male
professional class.
These data revealed that the consumption of goods of female is more than the
consumption of male.

According to Paulo Alcazaren that the bureau advised people to shift to homes of “strong
materials.” This meant the use of stone, concrete, and tin roofs, rather than wood or bamboo with
nipa or thatch roofs. Many towns, and the few cities in the Philippines then, were passing
ordinances to allow only stone of concrete for structures in their central districts. Damage from
fire, typhoons and earthquakes was a prime concern. Privacy was also a goal of modern homes,
“Well-planned houses should give first consideration to the bedrooms. Houses, which are built as
one big room, with a small one adjoining it for dressing and for keeping clothing and bedding,
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
can be remodeled. Another method of securing privacy is to use screens to divide the larger room
into smaller sleeping spaces.
Nowadays they safety first their housing or shelter for them to live. People need shelter to
protect them in climate change and to distant them on illness cause by weather condition.

According to Amiel Joshua et al. (2017), that Consumer Behavior Among Filipinos With
the change brought by innovation and economic progress to the world, people around the globe
have shifted their spending behaviors from functional to materialistic and aesthetic purposes.
Driven by this behavior, vanity became an area of study for numerous researchers, made
popular as a predictor of a person’s materialism. Choosing vanity goods over spending for
functionalism can be seen as problematic given the economic status of the majority of Filipinos.
In this century the people wants is more innovate things and they want to assure things
that more beautiful and valuable. They want material things to make themselves fashionable and
make their own style for their healthy living.

According to Seringhaus Rolf (2002) that Chinese consumers compared to the Japanese
luxury consumers pay more attention to reflect the personality; Chinese consumers are mostly
regarded as a luxury to purchase individual social status and wealth of performance. Chinese
consumers buy luxury goods to meet their consumption needs. Although still a large proportion
of the people buy goods in China's luxury consumption, and then gradually began to select
Chinese consumers have the luxury for you. Today's Chinese consumers are not only prestige
brands and fashion designers attract, they also desire to have meaning and value of the product
planning. And highlight the complete experience can strengthen this value. However, at present,
Chinese consumers spend more on personal luxury. The extent of China's affluent consumers are
not high, there is no spending power to buy villas, luxury cars or family vacation overseas, at this
stage, their spending more focused on personal items, such as cosmetics, perfumes and watches
and etc.
In this portion they want to spend money not only for prestige brands or things that are
luxury but they also want to assure the value of things. The rich people they want the things that
luxury and valuable things.

Philippines: Accessing the Consumer Market that the fact that the Philippines has a young, tech-
savvy population indicates that there should be good market potential for products like
smartphones, electronic tablets, and related peripherals such as selfie lenses, cases and
earphones. There is also a demand for lifestyle products, including clothing, footwear and
accessories. All this ties in well with Hong Kong businesses’ interests. Based on official trade
statistics, clothing & clothing accessories, toys, games & sporting goods and footwear are the
major Hong Kong products exported to the Philippines. Compared with products from other
ASEAN countries and the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong products are known for their good

have PAG-IBIG” obtained a mean of 3.25 with a description of agree and ranked 5. Based on the
interview, this is the least needed when it comes to residents emergency needs.
According to Imoney (2013), even though that health care is not really a main concern for
Filipinos even in this modern age and back, Filipinos are suddenly becoming aware what health
care can do for the majority. Quite recently with the on- going battle with Reproductive Health
Bill passed in the Senate, joint efforts by the media and organizations has made clear that taking
care of your body is definitely an important discussion that needs our careful attention.
Furthermore, people are definitely concerned on what is deducted on their pay each and
every month. Not many know that unlike in the US wherein Healthcare is not mandatory, the
Philippine law states exactly that health care should be top priority for the working force.
This kind of survey that health insurance is their priority, the reason is people in the
Philippines nowadays are crying and making themselves beg to other people for the payment of
hospital bills. Not all Filipino citizen can afford hospital bills so they to assure their health
insurance when are not that old enough.

According to Marcie Roth that the importance of preparing ourselves for disasters is
universal. Emergencies can happen anywhere - at home or at work - and everyone must take
action to prepare for emergencies in case something unexpected happens.
However, the truth is there's no one-size-fits-all solution to being prepared. Everyone
must be prepared to be their own "emergency manager." When disaster strikes, people may have
to be able to survive on their own for 72 hours or more without access to power, food, or
transportation. People also should think about their own situation and what additional needs a
person might have.
This kind of situation is needed for people daily lifestyle and for their safety and secured
life. People in the Philippines should always be prepared to whatever situation they may face.
Also, Philippines have two seasons a summer and winter season so they may face flood and
other disasters when changing of whether forecast.

There is significant relationship between the Resident’s Basic Commodities with
the Types of needs when talking about what they’re going to buy and assure first.
When talking to Food and Basic Commodities there is a relationship between them
when talking to the things that they want to do with. Also, when talking to Health,
Shelter and Emergency Needs there is also a relationship, when a person always
insure their safety and secure insurance for life. Lastly, Clothing and Luxury Needs
there is also a relationship when talking only to their wants and love to do that make
them happy.
According to Yasmeena Kibaida entitled A Commodity’s Value and the Social
Relationship between Products of Labour that the relationship between the producers
of commodities is forced to take up a social aspect when considering the value in

DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
those commodities; this creates a social relation between the products themselves in
terms of how they are regarded in society by producers and consumers. In
highlighting this social relationship, Marx adds another humanizing aspect to the
processes surrounding the production and consumption of commodities, and once
there exists a social relationship between products and producers, it becomes hard to
disregard humans and their labour as an essential yet sometimes morally inconvenient
part of making a product.
4. Is there significance difference between the items in Evaluating the Basic Commodities of
Resident’s Daily Lifestyle at Barangay New San Jose Dinalupihan, Bataan when they
There is significant difference when they group according to their profile and to
the items in Evaluating the Basic Commodities of Resident’s Daily Lifestyle at
Barangay New San Jose Dinalupihan, Bataan. In gathering of data there’s an effect
when they are group according to their age, sex, and monthly income. If the age are
grouped together there is an changes of choice and taste, when sex is grouped
together there are also change in wants and needs, and when monthly income is
grouped together there are changing of how they can only avail one thing and how
their money should be expend to their wants and needs.
According to María L. Sanz de Acedo Lizárraga, María T. Sanz de Acedo
Baquedano, y María Cardelle-Elawar that the process of decision making is one of the
most complex mechanisms of human thinking, as various factors and courses of
action intervene in it, with different results. The theories that study decisions can be
grouped into two perspectives: normative and descriptive. The normative perspective
explains the choice of individuals who are behaving rationally in a task that requires
decision making and -using statistical models- predicts the subjects’ responses from
the information provided about each alternative. The descriptive perspective explains
how individuals actually choose, that is, the psychological processes and the task and
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
environmental characteristics that underlie judgments and choices. One of the basic
differences between these viewpoints is the way they consider the decision maker.
The normative viewpoint confers an “unlimited” processing capacity on decision
makers that allows them to examine exhaustively all the possible alternatives and
choose the best. The descriptive perspective grants a “limited” processing capacity
that often leads decision makers to make mistakes when considering complex and
dynamic tasks, although they tend to choose options that satisfy them.
Commodities of Resident’s Daily Lifestyle at Barangay New San Jose Dinalupihan, Bataan?
The findings of the study recommend that the Resident’s in Barangay New San

Recommendations
1. Government Officials as provider of goods and services that individuals cannot provide
individually for themselves. They are also solution to collective action problems, the medium
through which citizens create public goods that benefit everyone.
2. Barangay Officials should organize regular lectures, programs or forums on community
problems, such as sanitation, nutrition, literacy etc. And they should adopt measures to
prevent and control the proliferation of informal settlers and mendicants in the barangay.
3. Youngsters as influencing their need for and willingness to be a part of a greater good through
involvement in the community about their daily needs.
4. Parents should prioritize first their basic needs like their daily needs such as food, water,
shelter and other things they use daily before their wants . and also they need to be
knowledgeable.
DINALUPIHAN CAMPUS
5. Field of Specializations should prioritize the basic needs of a community to lessen the poverty
in the country.
6. Future Researchers should develop plans for responding to risks that are incidentally observed
or may encounter.
7. Department of Social Welfare and Development should covers social case management for
children, youth, women, older persons, persons with disability, family in crisis or at-risk and
needy communities.
8. Bureau of Food and Drugs should check the quality and safety of the food and drugs they
supply in a community to assure the safety and lives of a individual.
