 INTRODUCTION

Knowing our family background is very important, knowing where we came from will
lead us to a better perspective in life. It allows us appreciate the things that we usually
took for granted. I came from a happy family despite of all challenges we’ve been
through, 8 members including our parents. My mother natives of lanao del sur, they
originated in lumba-bayabao. The clan is an extended family that includes the father,
mother, siblings, cousins, in-laws, aunts, nephews, nieces, and the. We should value
our clan because in terms of difficulties that we encounter in our lives the first one that
canscue us is our clan members. My father came from a happy family that were known
in our place, and they were known as rich, kind-hearted, humble, and religious. My
father was too spoiled to my grandfather because he is the only son of my grandparents
and the youngest among the three siblings. My father finished this arabic studies in
jamiatul muslim mindanao with the studies of da’wah. But, unfortunately he is not
destined to become a alim because of some reasons. When my grandfather died that
was the time that my father regretted many things including for not listening to his
father’s advice to him and he realized that his decision for not taking the board
examination is a big loss of him.

My mother was the first daughter of my grandmother my mother is very spoiled to my

grandfather and she has a younger sister she have a 4 sisters and 4 brothers also. My
mother came from a simple family. Because of my grandfather always marrying another
woman, His dad left them when they were at such a young age but my grandmother did
not give up to sustained his kids. She did her best to make their family works and make
her Son/daughters happy. Unlike my father, my mother was poor but they were religious
very generous to other peoples specially my relatives and very humble. My mother was
always praying that someday she will have a work and to be able to help her mother
and her siblings to his beautiful life someday. She not yet finished their college because
his mother already. And Alhamdulillah she already get a stable work at the time
assistant of my uncle, All the hardship that she experienced was gone because at the
end she made it. Before my parents met, my father had a family and have a 2 children
with his first wife. And my mother was married also to his first husband at the young age
but, My father courted my mother many times and got rejected many times also
because my mother was too conservative and religious one. So since my dad was very
sincere towards my mother, he went to my mother’s house to get the permission of my
grandmother for marrying my mom. So my grandmother before making a decision of her
own she asked first my mom about it and my agreed to it because it happened that my
mother likes my dad also. So my grandmother respected her daughter’s decision
and that was when they got married and they stayed at my dad’s hometown until now.
 METHODOLOGY

This researcher chose her maternal side for the data gathering. It is conveniently to
collect the required data because the researchers are relatively closed to the
respondents. The researcher used an interview method in collecting the data. The
researcher used Microsoft excel to determine the frequency counts, percentage
distribution, mean, median, mode, standard deviation and variance of each given Socio-
Demographic profile of the respondents. The population in this clan survey consist of 70
respondents who are close related to the researcher. The researcher used tabular form
in presenting the frequency counts and percentage distribution of the collected data.

The researcher’s chose her both paternal and maternal side for the data for the reason
that she was close to the both side of her family. Even she was close to the both, she
struggled to have their interview due to have a different municipality but she didn’t give
up and managed to have it. The researcher has interviewed some of her family
members but most of her respondents came from her mother side because she was
staying at her mother’s hometown and it was easy for her to get in touched to her
relatives in her mother’s side which is the Lawi family. The study made used of
Microsoft Excel to determine the frequency, percentage, mean, median, mode, standard
deviation, range and variance of each given profile of Socio Demographic.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

The study investigates Socio-Demographic Factors of the researcher’s own family clan
comprising at least fourth Generation. The first generation is my grandparents. The
second generation is my parents and aunts. The third generation was the researcher’s
sibling and cousins.
And the first generation is my nephews and nieces. The Study made use of Microsoft
Excel to determine the frequency, percentage, mean, median, mode, midrange, range,
variance, and standard deviation of each given profile of Socio-Demographic Factors.
The study shows that most of the members of the clan are cousins. Many of our
members are female and many are young (20 – 29 years old). Most of our clan
members completed their college education and the members usually earn less than
5000 since there are students and though
most of them completed their education it doesn’t mean that they have already a job.

Conclusion
In conclusion in this research, it shows the results of the study on the Lawi in Sultan
clan survey. It is very interesting to made this research because you will know how
important to
know more about your clan members. It made me aware about my relatives’ social
