I. CURRENT SITUATION
Knowing the current situation helps the company to communicate with the
interested stakeholders in the organization. It also used to help investors and
creditors identify where their money went. A Financial statement is used to evaluate
the overall performance of the company in the industry. Hence, the financial
statement cannot be underestimated. The accuracy of the financial statements
determines the actions need to be done, whether to add or eliminate a thing or two
to improve the performance of the company.
II. Financial Ratios
The financial ratios are used to quantitatively analyze the company’s financial
statement which evaluates the different aspect of the current financial and
operational performance of the company such as it solvency, liquidity, and efficiency
to ensure the future standing of the company. By analyzing the use of assets and
other credit, it helps the business to conduct quality performance better. This helps
the company to measure its financial progress towards reaching the business’s
goals and objectives as wells as surpassing its top competitors or larger competitors
in the industry. However, ratios do not make the financial decisions for the business
but rather will provide what decisions may be made. Financial ratios consist of debt-
to-equity ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, return on equity, and net profit margin. In
this paper, the ratios are selected accordingly since the company provides service
not product.

4.75 1.58 -0.33
A. Return on Investment Analysis and Interpretation
Analysis: The fiscal year of 2015 garnered 4.75 which is mildly good for its
return on investment since ROI above 5% are generally considered good. However,
for the succeeding years, the return on investment of the company is gradually
decreasing which indicates that the company was not able to make up to its
investment. The year 2017 is negative, which means there is a loss in the
company’s investment.
Interpretation: The return on investment of Camp Benjamin continued to
decrease in its succeeding years. In the year 2015, the net profit of Camp Benjamin
is 28,102,057 subtracted by 6,742,236 worth of investment which resulted to 4.75,
followed by 2016’s net profit of 28,971,193 deducted to 18,308,061 value of the
investment which led to 1.58.

Working Capital 1,099,280 -1,793,168 -19, 916,216
Current Ratio .83:1 .24:1 .36:1
C. Working Capital Analysis and Interpretation
Analysis: The fiscal year 2015 garnered 1,099,280 of working capital,
followed by 1,793,168 for the year 2016 and 19,916,216 for the year 2017. Working

cash equivalents, accounts receivables, inventory, prepayments and other current
assets which would generally provide cash within the operating period of the
corporation.

6,742,236 worth of current liabilities which resulted in 1,099,280. This indicates that
Page | 5
the company has more debts to pay than its assets. The same goes for the
succeeding years.
D. Current Ratio Analysis and Interpretation
Analysis: The current ratio of Camp Benjamin for 2016 has decreased by
59% from the 83% ratio of 2015. It has continued to decline in 2017 which was
lesser by 23% because the current liabilities of the year 2017 is higher than its
current asset; therefore the company has a problem meeting its short-term
obligations
Interpretation: The current ratio of the year 2016 and 2017 is a negative,
which indicate that the current assets cannot cover the current liabilities of the
company which is very alarming and crucial for the operations of the company
because these two are the measures of liquidity, which is the ability to meet the
current obligations.
Ratio is a proportion or quotient rather an amount. The current ratio is
computed by dividing current assets by the current liabilities. It depicts the ability of
the corporation to generate cash to cover its short-term obligations. The currents
assets are composed of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, inventory,
prepayments and other current assets which would generally provide cash within the
operating period of the corporation. The current ratio is a useful test of the short-term
debt paying ability of any business.

from Sales. This is also the available revenue to cover for the other expenses of the
Company such as Selling and Administrative Expenses, General and Administrative
Expenses, etc. The higher the Gross Profit Margin, the more efficient the company
is. Lower gross profit could mean that the Company is underpricing or was not able
to efficiently control its overhead.

Page | 7
Analysis: The profit margin in 2015 to 2016 was steady at 33%. However,
there was a significant decrease in profit margin in 2017 of 41%.

Table 9. Debt Ratio
Solvency Ratio 2015 2016 2017

Debt Ratio 1.13 .37 .53
I. Debt Ratio Analysis and Interpretation
Analysis: The year of 2015 taught the most positive equilibrium of asset and
liability management of the company wherein the said year accumulated a rating of
1.13 grounded upon the exceptional balance of asset and liability to further adhere
said asset to compensate for corporate obligations. On the other hand, the
succeeding year plummeted its performance on asset and liability with the
performance .37 on the mathematical basis which can only pertain to a generation of
corporate liability exponentially higher than the generated and retained assets for the
Page | 9
said year. Fortunately, the recent year of 2017 somehow gradually improved
organizational performance on assets and liabilities with a representation of .53
Interpretation: the financial equilibrium has somehow improved yet the
financial burden is still imperative grounded upon the net loss incurred from the said
year which stipulates the occurrence of asset utilization to compensate for the
monetary loss garnered from the said year.
Table 10. Equity Ratio
Solvency Ratio 2015 2016 2017

Equity Ratio 1.14 .63 -2.15
J. Equity Ratio Analysis and Interpretation
Analysis: The recent fiscal year of 2017 garnered the worst financial
performance in regards to proper utilization of monetary resources invested by the
company’s’ stockholders in which the said year garnered an abysmal numerical
rating of -2.15. The reported financial backlash extorted by the company is grounded
upon their accumulation of a net loss from the said year wherein the amassed
corporate expense is exponentially higher by at least P7 million.
Interpretation: The incurred catastrophic financial phenomenon may
influence current corporate stockholders to pull out their investments and demand
for reimbursement towards their financial investments. The following series of events
may lead to an impending bankruptcy faced by the company in regards to a lack of
resources from stockholders.
Page | 10
Whereas, the year of 2015 generated the most positive inclination towards the return
of stockholders’ equity with a numerical representation of 1.14 wherein the company
was inherent on the application of monetary resources incurred upon the said
investments of the company’s’ stockholders. However, the succeeding year of 2016
degenerated its financial performance towards the generation of income of
stockholders with a numerical rating of .63 which is highly exaggerated in contrast to
2017’s dismal performance of -2.15 which is negatively higher in comparison of
2015’s 1.14 by 1.01.

K. Accounts Receivable Turnover
Analysis: There is an increase in Account Receivables Turnover by 22% in
2016 and a decrease of 27% in 2017.
Interpretation: Accounts receivable turnover rate is the rate of many times
does the Company can collect within the year. From the table above, It can be
depicted that the Company can collect faster or sooner (took fewer days to collect) in
2016 compared to 2015 and 2017. This means that cash flows are better in 2016
compared to 2015 and 2017.

L. Asset Turnover Analysis and Interpretation
Analysis: There is a decrease in asset turnover by 22% in 2016 and by 12%
in 2017. It means the company makes PHP5.7 more on every PHP1 value of asset
compared in 2015 compared to 2016, while it makes PHP2.31 more on every PHP1
value of the asset in 2016 compared to 2017.
Interpretation: Asset turnover measures a company’s ability to generate
sales from its assets by comparing net sales with average total assets. Based on the
table above, this means that the Company has a decreasing capability to generate
sales from its assets.

The Impact of Duterte’s Administration
Page | 32
President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration is filled with reconstruction in
power dynamics, international scrutiny, terrorism, and other security threats. The
proposed dismantling of the power dynamics in the Philippines is a revolutionary bid
by the president. The country will be shifting to federalism from democratic. As of
now, the president turned more than 26 political dynamics. According to Philstar 1
Global, the state should expect a vast international affiliation and involvement if the
war on drugs concern is ignored. The campaign war on drugs thus far resulted in the
deaths of more than 3,000 people in just three months, mostly in poor areas. Extra-
judicial killings and human rights violation sum up the aggressive anti-drug campaign
of the president. The Philippine currency has reached its lowest since President
Rodrigo Duterte took office and the Philippine peso is the worst performing currency
in Asia, 50 pesos for a dollar. Today, the president is known for his blatant disdain of
social justice and concern for human rights which resulted in a disaster.
Relevance: (Threat)
The shift in power dynamics and uncertainty around the path being taken by
the current administration as well as the blatant disregard of human right by many
Filipinos will affect the foreign and local regarding their investments in the country.
The failure in diplomacy and international relations also influence the future investors
of the country because of the bad reputation the state has.

country into the weak and powerful in his policies. Usually, revolutions have noble
causes, to help the people and to separate them from the wrongs. Duterte said in
July that corruption is embedded deeply in our government. The president also said
he is having a hard time removing it.
Relevance: (Threat)
Corruption and failed government bureaucracy in the country is also bad for
business, and it is not good for the development of law rule, which is a vital part of
attracting good foreign investment. It is also relevant to the paper in a way that
misuse of an office for personal gain leads to operational inefficiency. This factors
will create a less favorable business climate inside and outside the country which is
a severe drag on the nation’s wealth.
Implementing the New Agricultural Program
The department of tourism recently launched the “It’s More Fun in The
Philippine Farms” last October 23, 2017, in line to attract not only local tourist but
also foreign ones. This program aims to put a spotlight on the farm life of the country
which also includes the best crops of the country and the rejuvenating experience in
the farm. The Department of Tourism believes that this program is a route to
promote the rich Agricultural beauty of the Philippines.
Relevance: (Opportunity)
The agritourism and “Bring A Friend Home” program will help to attract visitors
and tourist to farm areas for production, educational and recreational purposes that

can help showcase the beauty of the country’s agricultural lands as well as the life in
a farm. The “Bring A Friend Home3 “can also help to enhance the number of tourist
in the country not just for a short span of time, but also for a long time.
The implementation of "Bring Home A Friend (BHAF)" Program
The Department of Tourism also launched a program that calls explicitly on
Filipinos to encourage their foreign friends to visit the country. The program was
created to fully support the continuous rise in visitor arrivals of the country, and also
to inform them that the Philippines is different now.
The Agri-tourism and “Bring A Friend Home” program will help to attract
visitors and tourist to farm areas for production, educational and recreational
purposes that can help showcase the beauty of the country’s agricultural lands as

competitiveness of the environment in which the firm or the industry operates. Thus,
this might contribute to the success or failure of the company, distinguishing the
different economic forces that have a tremendous impact on the firm or industry.
The increase in Economic Growth
In the year 2017, the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country grew by
6.7%, somewhat below 2016 which was 6.9% regarding growth. 4 With this kind of
result, Philippine still placed among the fastest-growing economies in Asia, followed
after China’s 6.9% and Vietnam's 6.8%. The Philippine economy grew by 6.6% in
the last quarter of 2017, somewhat below the 6.7% median forecast in Bloomberg's
poll.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) needs to be taken into account in
identifying the value of the business investment and portfolio in the current and
expected future. This is also relevant in determining the shift of production possibility
curve of the country to be able to cater the needs and demand of the public. As a
result of the fast growth of our country’s Gross Domestic Product, all local business
can now use the opportunity to grow. Companies are expected to expand and take
more risk when the economic climate and conditions are right.

Filipinos lead the world in 2014 in the amount of time spent using social media
and the internet. Social Media is widely used in the Philippines, one of the main
reason for this is that around 12 million Filipinos are working overseas, and the only
thing that primarily connects them to their friends and families is the use of social
media. In the year 2017, Facebook.com became the most visited and used social
media in the Philippines, making the country the social capital of the world. The
reasons why Filipinos use social media is to connect with friends and families, to
meet new people, to share their unique life experiences and for company purposes.

Industry Analysis
Fig 6.
Competitive Rivalry (MODERATE TO HIGH)
Numerous independent players in the industry are present; this means that a
more significant number of players means excellent competition. Nowadays, most of
the hotels and resorts have greatly diversified to some extent such us shops,
casinos and other complex packages. The threat for new entrants in the Resort
industry is moderate to high, given that there are mild restrictions and level of
entering this industry. Customers usually seek and look for the affordable and best
prices to a competitive market. Resorts and hotels are also resorting to catering to
Page | 51
the client’s mental being and physical being such as team building and recreational
activities that are eco-friendly and with social responsibility.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers (MODERATE)
The suppliers of this industry consist of property owners, developers, real
estate companies, training services providers, marketing companies, and industry
consultants. The Bargaining Power of Supplier is the ability of the suppliers to have
control to the prices, services, and other costs that concerns the transaction
between the businesses and the suppliers. The supplier power is assessed as
moderate overall. Since supplier services and equipment are essential to the hotel
and resort industry, it is all about the quality and availability a supplier can provide to
be able to negotiate a favorable contract.
Bargaining Power of Customers (HIGH)
The Bargaining power of buyers is the ability of the buyer to demand better
service and quality, as well as lowering the price. Price is a significant factor in the
customer’s bargaining power. Clients can shift from one brand to another especially
when their purchasing capacity is limited, the smaller and more powerful the
customer base a company has, the higher the bargaining power of the customers
and higher their ability to seek increasing discounts and offers.
The threat of New Entrants (MODERATE)
Page | 52
The threat for new entrants in the Resort industry is moderate given that there
are mild restrictions and level of entering into this industry. The hotels and resorts
industry is full of travel and tourism trends, and it is almost possible to enter the
industry from a small start-up business. However, the sector is expensive regarding
the upfront investments in building, staff, and furnishing. Hence it is capital intensive.
The financial and legal complexities of purchasing, leasing, and management of a
specific property also need to be taken into consideration which varies depending on
the location.
The threat of Substitute Products or Services (LOW)
There are no major substitute products for the hotels and resort’s product and
service. If the marketing strategy is focusing on attracting tour group, then the
company will subject to influential buyers provided that no oversupply for the
company’s target market. The industry is not vulnerable to any intense rivalry due to
the fragmented nature of the competition. Clients may switch only due to the
following factors: Beneficial alternatives, low-cost switching, and cheap alternatives.
Substitute refers to a product or service offered by other industry that has similar
benefits to the consumers as the product or service produced by the firms within the
industry. The availability of substitute products can make the sector more aggressive
and might affect the profit potential of the firms to decrease.
Markets
Page | 53
The total revenue of the hotel and resort industry is growing annually by
millions. In the fiscal year 2015, the total revenue garnered in Php 82B, to be
followed by Php 85B for 2016 which is Php 3B higher than the previous year. The
latest total revenue for the industry increased by Php 5B which is Php 20B according
to the computation of statista 15. The primary market is mostly tourist, travelers,
corporate teams such as problem-solving team, quality team, virtual team and
workgroup which are essential in every organization. The secondary target market is
those people who want to transform into their better self and seek a change in
lifestyle.
Customers
Hotel and Resorts consumer or as what they call clients usually look for excellent
quality rather than the price. It was proven by Zeithamal et al. (2003) that satisfaction
could increase the loyalty of a customer. However, it was stated that the behavior of
the customer is particularly complicated in the hotel and resort industry.

Page | 62
5. To retain our current levels of repeat business and developing further customer

time-bound and relevant. The strategist used the SMART mnemonic to analyze the
immediate marketing objectives of the company; SMART mnemonic is widely used
in the marketing world in identifying and creating long-term goals to improve the
business. The following objectives are appropriate to guide the direction of the
company given the company’s current position in the competitive market which was
discussed in chapter 3’s competitive profile matrix.
A.3 Strategy
1. Market Penetration – Market penetration occurs when the company wants to
increase the market share for their products or services in present markets through
marketing effort. The company created a website where potential customers can
access the information of the company. However, it is not updated from time to time.
The company is also submitted its name to travel directories to increase the
awareness of travelers and tourists.
2. Related diversification – The diversification occurs when the company decided
to add a new product but related to their current products or services. Camp
Benjamin diversified by expanding by putting a restaurant, hotel, and farm inside the
camp.
3. Unrelated Diversification – The unrelated diversification occurs when the company
decides to create another product and services not related to what they currently
Page | 63
offer. Camp Benjamin is now venturing to create a fruit stand that sells organic food,
shakes, and another consumable product since the camp has its farm.

operations of the company. However, the marketing activities of the company are
limited:
1. Online promotions are not present
2. An advertisement is not present
3. The use of influencers are not present
4. The website is not updated.
B.2 Functional Efficiency
The marketing and sales department are handled by Mr. Teodoric Mortel.
There is a good relationship between sales and marketing as it is dealt with by a
Page | 64
single person. The service management is working effectively since the other staff
has a degree in service management which vital skills and competencies are
required for a successful hospitality-based organization. The employees of the
company know how to address client concerns and grievances immediately Camp
Benjamin motivates their employees by conducting the 1-on-1 session that is usually
done in the midyear. They assess their employees if they are on the right track and
what are the areas that need to improve on, and they also organize an Employee
Recognition Program every end of the year wherein they recognize and reward work
and behaviors of their employees. Employee appreciation is essential because it
means that their work is valued and appreciated. Conducting the said program will
help the company build loyalty, supportive work environment and increase its
employee motivation and retention as well.

department has its department head that is responsible for the performance of
his/her division. This helps in controlling the uniformity and quality of an
organization. The departments present in Camp Benjamin do not need any direct
attention since each department is managed by their respective head. However,
each employee is expected to give their hundred percent in their department to
execute their task/s.

C. Strategic Problems
1. Competition from Hotel Industry alternatives such as Airbnb
(IMPORTANT)
The biggest threats to hotels in 2017 are from Airbnb according to a Report
from Hospitalitynet. The valuation of Airbnb is well over $10B which is higher than
majority of the dominant hotel in the world like hyatt. The app has impacted the hotel
industry hugely and competitively as it provides customers with cheaper alternatives
than hotels.
Page | 82
2. Continuously changing consumer demands (IMPORTANT)
“A whole new generation of luxury consumers have stayed in luxury hotels
with their parents and experienced it,” Fuerstman noted. Consumers are evolving
and much smarter than the last generation because they have seen so much about
how a service should be. This indicate a change in the needs and desires of the
customer, also understanding them helps in repeat business and customer loyalty.
3. Consumer’s Perception on Social Media Advertising
The communication of individual with other people all over the world about a
product or service is made possible through the appearance of internet-based social
media. This platform allows individuals to interact freely, discuss and share
information by using a multimedia mix of personal pictures, words, audio, and
videos. However, the effectiveness of social media advertising depends on the
perception of the consumer and how the advertising agency wants them to perceive
a certain campaign.
D. Strategic Objectives
1. Competition from Hotel Industry alternatives like Airbnb
1.1 To gain competitive advantage and service differentiation
