Introduction
The Problem
Through rampant observation of the researchers, schools’ varsity students don’t receive monthly
allowances
The Objective
This research would like to determine the reasons why student athletes of Pasig Catholic College
don’t receive monthly allowance. Also, the researcher wants to know if it would be fair to PCC
to provide this kind of allowance to its student athletes. This research aims to prove the necessity
for Pasig Catholic College to provide financial assistance in form of monthly allowance for

particularly athletic scholarships. They’re awarded for the purpose of aiding financially
challenged and deserving students. However, most schools prioritize academics over sports so
they tend to lack funds to endow such allowances. Pasig Catholic College is one of those private
institutions that don’t offer this kind of financial assistance. They do offer scholarships but
they’re only meant to aid deserving students who wish to avail the school’s quality catholic
education. They have the Fr. Cornelis de Brouwer Scholarship, Fr. Timmermans and Fr. De
Klerck Scholarship program (Equity Scholarhip), and President’s Scholarship program. These
scholarships are one of the major things that add to the school’s expenses so it may be one of the
major reasons why PCC can’t offer athletic scholarships, let alone monthly allowances to varsity
students.
However, there are other schools that indeed offer athletic scholarships with monthly allowances
This grant is a form of financial assistance for all courses. They are awarded to student-athletes
who have excelled in sports and academics. The following are the sports which are granted

Explanation and Interpretation of Data (For Varsity
Students)
Question #1
The first interviewee told the researcher that they start their training as early as summer break.
From there, they train continuously until the start of the league; everyday including weekends.
The second interviewee on the other hand told the researchers that they do train everyday on
summer break including weekends. Their call time in the morning is 5:30 am and after they take
their lunch, they are required to go back at 1pm for afternoon training.
In addition, the third interviewee told the researchers that they always train, since the start of the
vacation, after class and every weekend. According to him, the varsity players do not have
Question #2
The first interviewee told the researchers that he spends about 200 pesos minimum on extra
training days like weekends and vacations. This is because after a long day of training, they all

In addition, the third interviewee told the researchers that the minimum amount of their pocket
money every day is P150. He said that his food, transportation and other expenses are included in
The first interviewee told the researchers that the school only provides transportation and food
during games. They are not provided with transportation at all and the school is not consistent in
The second interviewee on the other hand told the researchers that they are not provided with
food and transportation for regular training days. He told the researchers that the only time they
In addition, the third interviewee told the researchers that Pasig Catholic College provides
financial support, but only if there are leagues outside the school but if its just a regular training
day, PCC does not provide anything. According to him, PCC provides their transportation and
food, if and only if there are leagues outside the PCC. But when it comes to money, PCC does
Question #4
The first interviewee told the researchers that although he himself does not need the financial
assistance as he is already well off, being with his teammates most of the time and spending days
after days with his teammates, he saw that there is definitely a need for a financial assistance
The second interviewee on the other hand told the researchers that there is indeed a need for
financial support because not all varsity players are well off. He also said that because they still
because it can help and motivate the varsity players. But if there is none, it is also okay because
he loves what he’s doing and from the very start, he already knew that PCC does not provide
financial support for the varsity players. Therefore, its okay for him if the school does not
Question #5
The first interviewee told the researchers that he is already passionate and determined with his
work because it is truly what he wants and if it is really what a person wants, he doesn’t need
anything in return. However, if there is indeed a financial support, he would feel motivated to

In addition, the third interviewee told the researchers that it can make the varsity players to be
motivated, both academics and sports, because sometimes, varsity players find it difficult to
choose between academics and sports. Sometimes, they fail to comply in academics or sports.

from his teachers and classmates. They usually get motivation from them if they played well.
The second interviewee on the other hand told the researchers that he sometimes gets credits like
additional grades but it is rare as it depends to the teachers. Besides that, there is nothing else.
In addition, the third interviewee told the researchers that they don’t receive any credits or even
plus points in their grades. There are instances that the advisers or professors cannot understand
the situation of a varsity player and sometimes they scold us and use that as a reason.
Question #7
The first interviewee told the researchers that if financial support is not possible, the only thing
he wishes to have is consistency on food and transportation. He said that on weekends and
holidays that the school canteen is not around, they are forced to use their own money.
The second interviewee on the other hand told the researchers that he only wishes a consistent
In addition, the third interviewee told the researchers that they just want the teachers’
understanding, because sometimes the teachers refuse to accept late requirements because they
fail to recognize their efforts to cope up with their studies and at the same time, being a varsity
player.
Data Gathered (From Coaches)
First interviewee
Mr. Castillo
Is there a need to offer financial assistance to student athletes of Pasig Catholic College?
“Oo kasi marami ring ibang eskwelahan na nagbibigay ng ganitong klaseng financial
assistance sa mga student athlete nila. Medyo kailangan talaga ng ganitong programa kasi
hindi sapat ang binibigay na budget ng school para sa pagbili ng mga basic necessities ng
mga nag-eensayo naming players gaya ng tubig at pagkain. Dagdag pa rito, mahirap para sa
kanila ang gastos ng papaunta’t pauwi (transportation fees) dahil merong mga players na
medyo malayo ang pinanggagalingan. Mahirap kumilos pag walang panggastos. Hindi namin
masuportahan ang ganoong mga pangangailangan nila. Tuwing may practice game kami sa
ibang school (minsan malayong mga schools), sagot naman ng school ang pagkain pero
pagdating sa panggastos papunta’t pauwi samin parin bumabagsak ang parehong problema.
maghanap ng alternative sources of funds (fund raising, etc.) Kung sakaling matupad itong
financial assistance para sa aming mga varsities, malaki ang maitutulong nito sa pagsasaayos
tubig at pagkain, at higit sa lahat, hind na kami, hinding-hindi na nila popoblemahin ang
bigat ng papunta’t pauwi mula bahay papunta dto sa trainings grounds at mula dto papunta
Mr. Huang
Is there a need to offer financial assistance to student athletes of Pasig Catholic College?
“Oo. Siguro nasabi na rin ito ng ibang coach na nainterview nyo na, pero ibig sabihin lang
nun pare-pareho kami ng sentiments about this issue. Gusto ko ring mabigyan ng financial
assistance ang ating mga student athletes dahil deserve nila yun, bilang mga lumalaban sa
nagpapakahirap mag-ensayo para lang mapili sa starting line-ups. Bukod dun, hindi kasi
talaga sapat yung budget na binibigay ng school para sa mga laro at ibang aktibidad sa aming
nabibigyan ng basic necessities gaya ng food at water pero pagdating sa trainings, kami, sila
mismo ang gumagastos pati nga transportation fees, kami rin. Kung di man ito maaprubahan
1. Coach Castillo
Mr. Castillo agreed about the said offering of financial assistance to student athletes of
Pasig Catholic College. He said that there are a lot of schools who offered this kind of student
assistance to their student athletes. He also mentioned that this program is really needed because
the said budget isn’t enough to buy the basic necessities needed by the student athletes. In
additional to this, it is hard for them to go to training place or even in the game place because
some of them live in far places. If the said financial assistance was approved to all the varsities
this will be a great help to them for all their trainings. If they have enough funds for this, it will
be easier for them to travel from their home to their training grounds (transportation) and even to
Mr. Huang also agreed about the said financial assistance for all the varsity players. He
also said that all of the coaches have the same sentiments about the said issue. He wants to give
financial assistance to all the varsities because they deserve the said assistance, they are the one
who’s playing for the pride of the school and they are the one who’s sacrificing their efforts and
time in attending the trainings. In additional to that, the said budget were really not enough for
The researchers chose to conduct this study to aid student athletes who are having problems with
The researchers conducted few interviews concerning some coaches and student athletes of Pasig
Catholic College Sports Department. They were asked to give and share their insights about the
proposal in order to formulate a ground basis for formulating a Financial Assistance program for
the school’s student athletes, specifically, a monthly allowance to meet their basic needs. Mostly,
the students agreed that there should be a Financial Assistance or monthly allowance solely for
varsity players like them. The common reasons they gave is that the school doesn’t give enough
funds to support their agendas such as tune-up games and formal sports competitions. The school
does provide food and water but only during real games and competitions but whenever it’s just
a regular training day, especially in week-end trainings, they don’t receive their food and water.
Thus, the school is quite inconsistent when it comes to providing basic support to their own
athletes.

Psychological Basis
According to Hatch, Thomsen and Waldron, there are two factors of motivation which determine
When athletes are motivated by their competitive drive to beat peers' performance in the game,
they are more likely to have Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic Motivation is defined by
his or her own internal satisfaction or fulfillment. Intrinsic motivation is usually self-applied, and
springs from a direct relationship between the individual and the situation. It is very important
factor in the design of a learning or training course." Meaning with this kind of motivation, an
athlete will enable himself or herself to focus on improvement and growth with less stress,
pressure and distraction because of his objective to just enjoy what he is doing. This contrast
with extrinsic motivation which involves engaging in a behavior in order to earn external
"Extrinsic motivation may come from social sources, such as not wanting to disappoint a parent,
or material rewards, such as trophies and college scholarships. Extrinsically motivated athletes
motivation may lead athletes to feel like their behavior is controlled by the extrinsic rewards. On
the other hand, athletes may continue to feel like they control their own behavior even with the
Examples of behaviors that are the result of extrinsic motivation includes competing for awards,
for praise and to meet parent's expectations. This kind of motivation can cause pressure, stress
and difficulty to manage failure because of the eagerness to achieve something in exchange for
rewards. These two factors of motivation are important for athletes to maintain because it is to
balance their behavior regardless of their objectives in order for them to compete successfully

Promotion of Schools
There are different ways to promote a school and one of them is to consider collaborating, to
consider partnering with other schools. For instance, you could try sending informative
information to the local newspaper. Articles that feature advancements in modern education and
the like. You could also conduct live events that promote the importance of good education to
You can also promote your school via your exceptionally talented students who excel in these
areas; sports, academics, arts, etc. You could try featuring them in your school newspaper or at
local community events. This could potentially inspire others to consider enrolling their children
in your school. If they can see or read that you can produce such students, the school's reputation
