INTRODUCTION
Wood Carving is the main ethymology in the proposed setting of this

research study. The research proponents analyzed and evaluated the society’s

environment and factors affecting the business industry particularly in Paete,

Laguna, Philippines.

This research study aims to help and improve the wood carving industry in

the town of Paete. The proponents are finding out the significance and difference

of the demand and the production schemes implemented by a certain wood

carving store.

Paete is known as the Carving Capital of the Philippines. Being the known

source of fine and high quality wood crafts, sculptures and paper maches I n the

Philippines. Therefore, the demand of the wood carving products is consistent.

The production schemes implemented by local wood carvers are related

and based to their production demand.

This research study defines the significant relationship between wood

carving demand and production schemes utilized by wood carvers in Paete,

Laguna.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM: RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND

Rationale

The production schemes and methods that are commonly used by

businessman depending on the demand are the one-off production also known

as custom work, batch production or manufacturing, and the mass production or

continue production of large amount of product. These schemes are used to

meet the demand of every business (BBC GCSE 2012).

As the demand increases the production system is enhanced and

implemented. The activity whereby resources, flowing within a defined system

processed, combined, and transformed in a controlled manner to meet the

demand efficiently and less cost (Gulshan 2011).

Deciding which production scheme and method of wood carving

production that is appropriate in coping with the demand is the factor that is

usually disregarded by wood carving businessmen in Paete, Laguna. The

Carving Capital of the Philippines which is the main source and home of fine and

high quality of wood carving products is depending their production schemes on

the demand of clients. Hiring additional laborers will enhance production capacity

and yield of woodcarving products during peak seasons that demand increases.
Paete Science and Business College, Inc.

A.Y. 2017-2018 3

Another approach that is capable of meeting the demand is implementing

proper production management. By hiring skilled worker that carries the

knowledge and capabilities of managing, organizing and forecasting for

appropriate production systematization to meet the demand of every client.

Paetenians wood carvers usually run their business solely. Besides they

are the one who manages and do the labor alone, that probably won’t make any

breakthrough and development of a business, but still as known as the Carving

Capital of the Philippines. The fine wood carving products are still patronized by

clients coming from different locality. Even though there is no proper manage of

their wood carving business.

Appropriate implementation of condign production schemes and method

might help this situation, and to prove that they really work this research study

exist.

Background of the Study

As the demand increases the production schemes and methods must be

applied which is defined as planning, implementation, and control of the

production process to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of a business. It

is the activity whereby resources, flowing within a defined system, are combined

and transformed through the wood carving process in a controlled manner to

meet the demand and produce adequately.

The challenges that the wood carving industry is facing now are the

factors affecting the demand of every wood carving business in Paete, Laguna.

The production schemes implemented by businessman were modified depending

on the demand.

Within this framework, the adjustment of production based on the demand

is analyzed. There are specified explanatory variables, capacity, demand, and

production imbalanced that prove that the behavior model which is the demand is

dynamic (Olsen, 1989).

Lack of management skills for accurate production, opportunity seeking,

and seizing are the factors disregarded by wood carving business owners. They

trust themselves for knowing that clients and the demand for wood carving

products will never stop since Paete is the carving capital and source of fine

wood carving products of the Philippines. This study mainly focuses on what

production schemes they usually do when the demand increases. The capacity

of production might increase when the demand increase through hiring laborers.

Working capital increases as the demand increases. The excess of

current assets over current liabilities of a business that has showroom so that

clients can choose and product will be exposed. This research is study finding

out if there is a significant relationship on the demand and establishing a

showroom of a woodcarving business (Capital, 2005)

There are many challenges that wood carvers are facing now, factors that

might affect the business. Strength,, weaknesses and external problems that

lingers the business that might be the reason of net loss. Lack and high cost of

supplies like wood, tools, equipment and materials are one of the threats that

affect wood carving business. Other wood carvers use scrap woods to produce

newly and creative wood carving items. It is a clever way but do not cost much.

Some of them also hire employees to designate certain jobs to complete a

process and finish a wood carving item. It is a great scheme to distribute

responsibilities for faster and swiftly process. There are some of the reasons why

cleverly schemes and collaborative strategies are implemented.

Theoretical Framework

Paete (Laguna Province) is acknowledged as the wood-carving capital of

the Philippines. This reputation dates back to the town’s founding in 1580 when

Franciscan friars discovered that residents had a talent for wood-carving, using

‘batikuling’ wood (“Elaeocarpuscalomala”), a native tree species ideal for making

religious images or “santos.” The town’s name in fact comes from “paet” or

chisel, an essential woodcarver’s tool (Pedro 2017).

As the Spanish evangelization progressed across the archipelago, the town was

tapped to supply the religious statuary needed for new houses of worship — and

has not stopped carving ‘Santos’ since then.


Paete Science and Business College, Inc.
J. P. Rizal St. Paete, Laguna
A.Y. 2017-2018 6

Today, there are around 500 woodcarvers working in some 50 woodcarvings

shops. The town’s masterpieces — in statues, pulpits, murals and bas relief —

are found in churches, palaces and museums all over the world – among them

St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, in New York, the Mission

Dolorosa in San Francisco, the San Cayetano Church in Mexico, the St. Joseph’s

shrine in Sta. Cruz, California, and various churches and chapels in the

Philippines.

If we were able to visit Paete, we will see how a piece of plank becomes a

display in our homes in just a matter of hour. For them, it is not an ordinary task.

Back then, when Spaniards dawn into this land, a lot of religious idols and some

wood appliances were made by some ancestors of Paete.

The talent of Paetenians shows how we Filipinos are “world class.” Traces show

that some Filipino ice carvers and some international ice carvers who serve and

work for international luxurious hotels and cruises have been influenced by wood

carving of Paete or trained in the town. No wonder that more and more tourists

give a loud applause for their one of a kind carving.

Chapter II

Review of Related Literature

Wood Carving Business

Is a strategically arranged area used to display products, and if used

correctly, it can proved to be very beneficial for sales. Showrooms provides an

experience, this experience is amplified with special product arrangements that

give off the impression to the clients instantly. Amount of returns decline, being

that people know exactly what they are getting after seeing it with their own eyes,

there’s less room for surprise disappointments. Customer trust increases, gaining

customer trust is huge, and putting your products out on physical display in an

honest move. The quality of the honest wood carving products will be exposed to

clients. ( Doz 2016).

Wood Carving Products

Describes the history, culture and communities of practice in wood carving

in the town of Pate. Church leaders throughout the history of the town encourage

the local townsfolk to pursue and create religious images and other church

adorments while the rural way of life also provided inspiration in creating wood

sculptures depicting rural scenes in addition to these,”bangayngay,” or home

decorations and utilitarian kitchen wares like bowls and plates, wooden shoes or

“bakya,” and “taka” or paper mache products were also produced. Of more

recent origin are the sculpture carved from ice, fruits and vegetables from the

original wood carvers who have found employments in hotels and restaurants in

the overseas market as kitchen staff of cruise ships and hotels. (Fajardo 2008)

Length of Years in Business

According to Aquino (2017), Length of years in Business is a huge factor

affecting the efficiency of a business. The growth of a business is measured and

developed based on length of years and service in the industry. Customer’s trust

and loyalty is one of the pledge and effect of this factor, increasing the probability

of incease in sales and productions.

Demand

Rohandi (2007) stated that many of these products are export through

cargo companies. It is estimated that less than 5% of the carvings produced are

sold locally to tourists.

In this literature in wood carving is directly related to Foase Traditional

wood carving. That traditional is one of the challenges. It is made the validationof

certain demand and orders from the clients. There is also the stereotyping

existing. (J.J. Hudson, 2011).

F. Matose (2008) also stated in his study that in this literature, the

common property over the last few decades issued to customer who have bought

curious for as some part of curio movement permit.

According to J. Mutinda (2008), the wood carving industry in Kenya is

highly indigenous tree species. The hardwood products were imported from

Turkey and Syria to service the local demand.

The information on wood carving activities in Kenya and UNESCO

initiatives to enhance sustainable hand their preference on customer demand

(65%) and durability (35%). (E. Okran, 2009).

Production Scheme

Asantes are noted for their expertise in variety of specialized visual arts

such as wood carving. Ahwiaa wood carving industry has developed; though

production techniques have remained stereotyped. Tools have greatly remained

simple, materials the same, variations in form have not changed much and

conventional treatment has not promoted creativity and originality, yet some new

trends, new approaches are noticeable today. (Amoh, 2009).

With the methods and procedures adopted the researcher was able to

trace a detailed history of Wood Carving in Aburi and its development through

the last two decades. The findings revealed that returnees from Nigeria took to

carving for tourists resulting into the growth of the industry, with other groups

coming from the Volta and the Northern Regions to increase the productions

there. (Adzovie, 2009)

According to Consuelo (2008), wood carving is essential to the living

culture and tradition of communities in the ASEAN region. Each country

produces unique wood products as dictated by functionality and later by

aesthetics and symbolisms. The symbolisms or representations of spirit, power

or wealth in the kingdoms or various religious denominations, teak and rosewood

furniture of continental Asia, the animal and plant carvings of the islands in the

South East, all these provide a diverse gamut of influences and traditions that

define the living culture of a community. This paper presents the major influences

of the wood carving tradition of three towns all located in the island of Luzon,

Philippines that have eked a living from the creation of wood carvings and

furniture from wood harvested from the nearby mountain ranges of Sierra Madre

and the Cordillera.

Kanwil (2008) stated in his study that wood materials from wood carving

are obtained mostly from other Indonesian islands. There are 20 companies

recorded as wood suppliers in Bali.

Thousands of designs with high variability in both volume and value make

it difficult to find a single representative recovery factor for calculating the added

value on the products. (Rohandi, 2010)

colleagues and guidance of the research leader. Thoughts, ideas, and opinions

are combined to meet the necessary information in this research. The

researchers consult wood carvers for more information for this study.

The researchers started to utilize questionnaires from the data collected.

Internet and library research will be needed for the study.Lastly, the

questionnaire and results are computed and tabulated and using the statistical

formula to be interpreted.

Research Instrument:

The assessment test for Wood Carving Businesses was the main

source of information from Wood Carvers, which is the respondents, with regards

to the degree and extent of Demand and Production Scheme In Wood Carving

Business.

Statistical Treatment of Data:

Treatment of data was very important in research. It was the process on

how the data gathered was treated, computed and interpreted so that the

researcher found the answer for his/her inquiry in a particular subject under

study. After gathering the collecting data, the researcher analyzed the gathered

data with the use of statistical tools. The profile of the respondents is determined

by using the frequency, percentage and rank. Wherein (P)% F/N x 100 where: F

is the frequency, N is the total number of the respondents and P is the

percentage. The extent of the demand is determined by using the weighted mean

as well as the sale ability of the products, wherein: TWF/N: wherein: WM is

weighted mean; N is the total number of respondents and W/F is the weighted

mean. For the relationship between the profile and the extent is determined by

using chi-square as well as the relationship between the profile and level.

There is a greater number of respondents who doesn’t have a showroom,

42.5 % of the respondents have their own showroom and the remaining 57.5 %

of the respondents doesn’t have a showroom. Most of the respondents who do

not have a showroom only have their workstations and at the same time it is

where the clients go and conducted negotiations between the respondent, they

used the one-off production or accustomed work where the wood carving

business only produce as the client orders. While respondents who have

showroom possess wood carving products that is ready to sell, the implication of

this portion is most of the respondents production method is pre-order or custom

work method.

Most of the respondents focus on producing religious wood carving

products. 43.8% of the respondents focus on producing religious material, 28.8%

only focuses on producing functional wood carving products, and 27.5%

produces either the decorative and religious or functional wood carving products.

The proposed reason for this outcome is Paete, Laguna is known for carving

religious statues, monuments and pieces of art.

Since 1950’sas the Spanish arrives in the Philippines, most of what

Paetenians carve are for religious places like retreat houses or even churches.

Statues of Jesus, the last supper and the Stations of the Cross are some of the

popular wood carvings Paetenians always offer to their customers. Paete

deserves the title of being the Wood Carving of the Philippines with their wide

range of imagination, creativity and delicate hands that alter wood. These

characteristics lead them to create world class statues, monuments and pieces of

art. (Magtibay, 2011).

The respondents’ responses were distributed equally, both of respondents

who are in business from 1-15 years and 16 years and above got 50%. This

outcome indicates that there are no relationship between the age of Paetenians

and their interest to wood carving. Until now, there are respondents who just in

progress to be in the wood carving industry.

are often implemented for certain reasons. The respondents specify that they

often acquire materials and equipments that lead to producing and processing

their products exceptionally and always on time.

6. Indicator number 4 indicates that they seldom hire labourers for production

and indicator number 6 states that they don’t hire internal officer for business

management. These factors specify that usual business structure of wood

carving business is family based. They usually work independently or with their

family members as their employee, but they don’t have resilient business plan

employees and forces for business management and production. It is proposed

that wood carver usually work self-reliantly and don’t need external forces.

Production must be characterized and evaluate before implementation

and identify if there are enough demand to avoid waste of unsold yields.
