ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Undertaking this study has been a truly life-challenging experience for us

and it would not have been possible to do without the support and guidance from

many people.

First and for most, we want to thank and express our deepest gratitude to our

Heavenly Father Jesus Christ, for His blessings and grace throughout this process

of learning and growth.

We would never had been able to finish our study without the guidance of

our committee members and help from our friends. We would like to express also

our deepest gratitude to Mrs. Raquel Z. Obiso, for her excellent guidance, patient,

and providing us an atmosphere for doing this research.

Finally, we express our very profound gratitude to our parents for providing

us with unconditional support and continuous encouragement throughout our

study. This accomplishment would not have been possible without them.
