INTRODUCTION

BEVERAGES. In relation to their dietary function, all drinks are invested with a

certain quantity of symbolic and affectional material, and it seems likely that there is

no drink that has not assumed anywhere in the globe a deep religious importance

("Beverages." Encyclopedia of Religion. . Encyclopedia.com. 25 Aug. 2019

<https://www.encyclopedia.com>.).

Background of the Study

The researchers notice that students had different preference in choosing a

beverage. Some preferred carbonated drinks, some fruit juice, some preferred milks,

and some fermented drinks. That led the group of researchers to study what

beverage students in public school preferred the most.

Statement of the Problem

The study intended to see the beverage preferences of students in public

school. In addition, the study wished to explain the following problem:

1.) What are the aspects that influenced the choices of the students based on

4 P’s (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion)?

2.) What are the suggestions of the students in public schools?

Significance of the Study

This research was consecrated on the beverage preference of students in public

school. Furthermore, the research could be of importance to the following:

Small Scale Entrepreneurs

 The study will aid small scale entrepreneurs that will give them the

heads up, if they are thinking of putting business inside or outside school.

Researchers

Other researchers with more in-depth knowledge of the beverage could

extend this study.

Scope and Delimitation

Of thousands of students at Rodolfo V. Feliciano Memorial Highschool,

researchers selected 200 students to complete the survey.

Of the two hundred students selected, the researchers selected students based on

their school level with ten respondents per class.

This study identifies what students want to drink in a public school, and what influences

them to purchase that beverage. Is it because of the container, the price, the weather,

or the place?

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter of the paper presents the review of related literature, the

conceptual framework, the research hypotheses, and the definition of terms.

Related Literature

Our data also indicated that sweetened beverages, i.e., chocolate-based beverages,

fruit juices and soft drinks were the most consistently consumed beverages by Filipino children

and adolescents. Among the sweetened beverages included in this study, soft drinks (cola) is

seemingly the most popular. (Golloso-Gubat et al.)

While the present data is cross-sectional and do not demonstrate a causal relationship, they

lend support to the notion that sweetened beverages displace milk intake in children and

adolescence. (Golloso-Gubat et al.). The proportion of milk consumers was high in pre-school

children while consumers of sugar- sweetened beverages were high in school-aged children

and adolescents (Sayed).

Younger children aged 1–3 years obtained more water from milk and milk beverages, whereas

4–8- and 9–13-year-olds had a higher proportion of water from agua fresca and 14–18-year-

olds had a higher proportion of water from caloric soda. There was a significantly higher

volume of water coming from soda in 14–18-year-olds males compared with females. A recent

study in American children aged 4–8years and 9–13 years using the US National Health and

Nutrition Examination. (Piernas et al.).

Other Mexican studies focusing on beverage consumption patterns in children aged 1–4 and

5–11 years and adolescents aged 12–18 years showed large increases in caloric beverages

from 1999 to 2006. The beverage contributors to total energy intake in 2006 among Mexican
children and adolescents were high-fat milk, fruit juice (with water/sugars added, including

agua fresca) and carbonated and non-carbonated sweetened soda. Consistent with our

results, these previous studies found that younger children had a higher proportion of energy

from milk whereas older children and adolescents moved towards more caloric sweetened

beverages intakes. (Piernas et al.).

For soft drinks, there are three primary fields of specific dietary importance. Energy is the first

region. The second region of dietary importance is the so-called isotonic beverages, which

are equal to body fluid osmolality. The phosphorus content of carbonated drinks of the cola

type could have decreased the active form of vitamin D and resulted in a decrease in calcium

absorption(Sayed)

Research Hypothesis

The financial situation of the students, and the weather affects the students'

choice of drink. So almost all students choose fruit juice in the hot weather and coffee

in the cold weather.

Definition of Terms
 Beverages - a drinkable liquid (“Beverages.” The Merriam-Webster Dictionary.)

 The Product is either a tangible good or an intangible service that is seem to

meet a specific customer need or demand.

 Price covers the actual amount the end user is expected to pay for a product.

How a product is priced will directly affect how it sells.

 Promotion is just the communication aspect of the entire marketing function.

 Place or placement has to do with how the product will be provided to the
