II. The Problem

Unemployment has remained high in the Philippines, at almost twice the level of

neighboring countries, despite relatively fast employment growth in the past decade.

Employment growth was not sufficient to reduce unemployment because of rapid

population growth and increased labor force participation.

In recent years, the Philippine economy has made great strides in delivering

inclusive growth, evidenced by the declining poverty rates and a falling Gini coefficient.

Unemployment has reached historic low rates, but underemployment remains high.

However, the unemployment rate in some regions in the Philippines does not coincide to

the unemployment growth as a whole. One of it, is the Region XIII or also known as

Caraga Region.

The increasing rate of unemployed people in Caraga from 2018-2019.

VII. The Market and Opportunity

The TRABAHANAP application is expected to cover only the area of CARAGA at

first launch. Based on the October 2019 Labor Force Survey of the Philippine Statistics

Authority, CARAGA’s labor force population is around 1,945,000 and of that, 61.4% or

around 1,194,000 Caraganons belong to the participating labor force - those actively

looking for a job or working. For the said survey, around 54,900 Caraganons are not

utilized in the labor force. These people are the first target market of the TRABAHANAP

application. Years after its first launch, TRABAHANAP envisions to cover the whole

Mindanao and hopefully, the whole Philippines, in order to help more applicants find jobs

and employees to find the better jobs suited for them.

VIII. Timeline and call to action

IX. Technology/Unique Selling Proposition

X. Funding Strategy and Needs

The TRABAHANAP application is estimated to require a P500,000 initial

investment as it would have advanced features. According to a web application

 developer in CARAGA, if the app would only consist of simple job postings within the

scope of CARAGA, it would cost only around P150,000 to P200,000. However, the

TRABAHANAP app requires more features than just mere postings. It will have extra

features such as the use of dashboards, location, search, ads, data collection, and

others. More features would then mean more time for backend and frontend

development, as well as more tedious testing and run throughs.

The team plans to fund the project through getting investors who would then

have a share in the income of the app from the time it gains income. For worst case

scenarios, when investors are not met, obtaining a bank loan will be the backup funding

strategy. And so, annual interest will be paid for 5 years and will be fully repaid

thereafter. The financial projection assumes the loan funding strategy.

XI. Financial Projection

In projecting the financial performance of the TRABAHANAP app, certain

assumptions have been made based on target results. Based on the ‘Company

Registration Statistics’ as of December 31, 2018 by the Securities and Exchange

Commission of the Philippines, CARAGA has around 6,669 registered companies. The

TRABAHANAP app aims to reach a total of at least around 8% of these companies to

join the app by the end of the third year as company users who will offer job openings to

Caraganons, targeting 200 new companies to subscribe for the first year and an

additional of 150 companies for the next two years for an average fee of P500 per

month. The subscription fee for companies would depend on the area they are to cover

within CARAGA as well as the number of applicants they are to cater to. TRABAHANAP

can also earn revenue from the applicants through applicant premium accounts. For

applicants who wish to have premium accounts, they are to pay a fee of P120.00 per

month. Aside from the monthly subscriptions and premium accounts, TRABAHANAP will

also be able to earn money from in-app purchases and advertisements. All revenues

were based on the number of target companies per year. For the applicant premium

accounts, it is assumed that for every company, there are 50 job offers and of that, only
 1% is expected to subscribe for a premium account per month. Revenues from in-app

purchases and advertisements were then based on the revenue from companies, with a

corresponding percentage of 5% and 10% respectively. It is also to be noted that the

app is expected to earn only for six months for the first year as the first six months are

reserved for the development of the app.

For the cash flow projections, the assumption is to spend P150,000 for the second year

to further develop the app and another P200,000 for the third year. The loan obtained is

expected to be fully paid by the third year hence the reduction of the cash flow for the third year.

The projection for the statement of financial position are all based on the data provided

from both projections of the income and cash flow statement.
