CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study Commented [J1]: Cite related literature to substantiate your
discussion. What problem are you trying to solve by
manufacturing and selling laing? What is that problem that you
found out that producing and marketing laing is the answer.
Provide citatation.
It is a known fact that Filipinos love to eat, and the dining table is treated as

the true heart of home. Food is more than just physical nourishment, and has

become a vital component of life. It is a huge part of every Filipino’s day-to-day

journey, and as most people say that in order for a person to understand culture,

he/she must taste one.

Lately, the trend of convenience foods is continuously growing internationally

and domestically. The reason may be everyone is extremely busy thus omitting the

time in cooking their own meal, so they just settle in convenience foods.

Convenience foods encompass canned, fast food meals and even viands that are

ready-to-eat, and are just waiting on the supermarket’s shelves. Another thing is

that due to limited time prepared foods have become so popular and in-demand.

Moreover, costumers’ health must still be considered in producing and

introducing a product. Consumers will always be willing to try and purchase a

healthy and indulgent product. That is the reason why JFAGS Partnership wants to

manufacture a product that would be appropriate with the current status of the

consumers, and that is to be on equal pace with the rapid change of their lifestyle.

Additionally, the entrepreneurs want to offer a convenient yet healthy product,

because the business is not just after the probable inflow of money but also with

the welfare of its consumers.

JFAG’s business idea specifically came from a Filipino dish that originated

from Bicol, “Laing”, a delicious dish of taro leaves with meat or shrimp cooked in

a thick coconut milk. This dish is popular in the Philippines, and we have thought

of entering the food business scene with a plan of hitting the market shelves to

deliver the authentic homemade Laing in your doorstep. DAGDAG PA ABOUT

LAING.

The proposed business will not settle on catering the usual type of Filipino

dish for it will be a diversified food product, one that will give a kick on one’s taste

bud without losing its original identity.

Las Piñas Campus 3

In the industry life cycle, canned, bottled and jarred viands belong to the

growing status of the food industry. Part of JFAG’s reason to operate business is

because the country’s food manufacturing industry, specifically those who deal

with producing Filipino based viands has been growing over the years. And with

the fact that the selected path of our business entity focuses on a certain field with

not much competitors, gives us a certain space to grow meaningfully along with

the gradual improvement of this sector in the food industry.

Additionally, with our main product’s well known reputation domestically

and short-listed amount of competitors, we can devise business strategies that will

create competitive advantage for our organization.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

The main goal of the entrepreneurs is to determine the feasibility of

implementing a South Metro Manila based business on the production of bottled

“Laing” made of authentic Filipino taro leaves and coconut milk. Commented [J2]: Is there such thing as non-authentic taro
leaves?

In particular, the project sought to know the following:

 To figure out the probable feasible combination of indirect and direct Commented [J3]: Change to detrmine

materials, manpower, process of manufacturing the offered product,

selected plant location and lay-out, practical capacity and other essential

requirements that would arm the business in obtaining desired maximized

profit and/or achieving a minimum cost production business.

 To set up an effective organization and form an efficient working

environment where a developed internal control is implemented, and

policies and regulations, internally and externally, are complied with.

 To validate the social desirableness of the entrepreneurs’ offered product in

the target market. Commented [J4]: Please revise, how are your going to measure
social desirableness

 To find out the market ability of “Magayon-in-a-Bottle: Oh My, Laing”, Commented [J5]: marketability

and to come across product growth opportunities based on the demands of

the market.

1.3 Significance of the Study

The entrepreneurs aspire to promote the genuine familiarity of Bicol’s

well-known viand, “Laing”. The project does not only focus on maximizing

profits, but also in providing working opportunities for those who need it. With

hopes of expanding the business nationwide and the international arena, this

project holds a significant purpose.

As to aspiring business owners:

This project will be an eye-opener to those who aspire in establishing their

own business. One doesn’t need to introduce or create a new product just to have a

business. A product may be a thing or food that a certain person or group of people

have or eat, it may be a something that a certain place considers dear or special, or

a thing that inspires him/her. To sum it up this project gives an honest assurance

that one may build his/her business with any product that he/she seems to be a

market magnet.

As to the community:

College of Business Administration and Accountancy


University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Page
Las Piñas Campus 6

The community overrides every citizen living in it, thus with a

fast-paced way of living nowadays, this project gives an accessible means in

offering a healthy food product.

As to the researchers:

This project gives the entrepreneurs the chance to work on what they have

learned so far as a business student, and venture out in introducing the selected

product. This project gives the researchers the opportunity to handle and be

independent in handling a business, so they could fearlessly face the awaiting

corporate world.

As to the Philippine market:

This project will benefit the growing food industry in the country, specifically

the ready-to-eat type of food products by promoting an original Filipino food that

would open a way to an improved local economy.

As to the future researchers:

This project may serve as a reliable reference for future studies regarding on

determining the market desirability and forecasting the financial status of the

business. May this project be of help and inspiration in finishing future research.

College of Business Administration and Accountancy


University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Page
Las Piñas Campus 7

As to the existing business and readers:

This project will serve as a reminder that in business, determining the feasible

combination of factors needed in a business is essential to understand and be able

to predict probable situations that might result to a beneficial reward to the

business.

1.4 Scope and Limitations of the Study Commented [J7]: provide the parameters of the study, what are
the inclusions exclusions

This project will focus on finding out the feasibility of the South Metro Manila

based plant, manufacturing “Magayon-in-a-Bottle: Oh My, Laing”. The selected

respondents in finding out the demand will specifically come from citizens in

South Metro Manila. This will give emphasis to the following;

 Establishment of partnership where most of its members are residents of Las

Pinas. The formed organization will be a mean to accumulate funds in the

manufacturing operation of the business.

College of Business Administration and Accountancy


University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Page
Las Piñas Campus 8

 An introduction and precise description of the proposed product; “Oh My!

Laing” to the market. A product that aims to deliver a Bicol’s prime product

that would surely satisfy the target market.

 A detailed procedure on the processing of the proposed product, as well as the

qualitative measures conducted. Specifications regarding the organization itself

are stated in this research.

The following are the limitations of our study:

The entrepreneurs mainly based forecast on the historical and future demand

and supply, prices, competitors, applicable market strategies, new products and

even status of the food industry. The basis of the forecast were gathered from DTI,

Municipal systems and even the information derived from the research instrument

for this project. The entrepreneurs opted to use a survey questionnaire in

determining the demand of the target market and probably come up with suitable

and developed way in presenting the product. Certain data may not be available

due to lack of resources or restriction from the source itself. There may be an

inaccuracy of judgement because of the entrepreneurs misleading conclusions and

recommendations due to lack of experience. Reservations because of the study is

possible since there might be significant changes in the condition of the actual

business, thus rendering this study impracticable.
