Water sustains the lives of all living things as it is the most essential liquid on earth. Sadly, it is
hard to find and access safely managed drinking water or free from contamination that is needed by
billions of people around the world. It was reported by the World Health Organization (2019) that one in
ten people in the Philippines have no access to improved water sources. Atleast 91% out of the estimated
100.7 million of the Philippine population have access to basic water services. According to Dr. Gundo
Weiler (2019), WHO Representative in the Philippines, the most important resource that people cannot
live without would be water. However, there are still numbers of Filipinos who don’t have access to

As there is a dilemma that is still rising, a solution has appeared in the thousands of water
refilling stations that is now considered a demand in the Philippine landscape. These service businesses
started as privately-run community sources with consumers going to the station to fill-up the containers
per-gallon fee which is a small fraction of commercially bottled water’s cost. As the demand is high with
this type of business, most stores now offer home delivery for regular customers.
Because of this, the researchers have put up an idea to build a service-based company which is a
water refilling station to be called Aqua Victa. This is considered to be a good business opportunity for

the proponents because it is a basic commodity of people where it is mostly preferred by a lot of families
in their homes and offices. According to Magtibay (2004), the reasoning to why people shift to
alternative sources of drinking water was because of poor management in water utilities which people
could be at risk of contracting diseases such as Cholera including food-borne and waterborne diseases.
With these data, the study will be about providing a clean and safe water to drink by putting up a
water refilling station following the national standards. Such service has been highly demanded because
it is cheaper and more convenient than those purified water bottles (Magtibay, 2004). Aqua Victa will be

market will be people of all ages as it is a basic commodity of people. With regards to gathering data
about the demand and feasibility of the service-based business, the proponents will conduct a random
sampling method wherein survey questionnaires will be distributed to the stated vicinities. The number
of selected respondents for the survey amounts to 384 within both locations.
The business will be centered in offering lower cost purified water to the supposed target market. By
this, the information presented is greatly based on the target market and conditions.

The Aqua Victa is a business venture that will mainly focus on water refilling stations. The
proponents have put up an idea to build this kind of service-based business that will be adopting a
partnership type of organization, which is owned by seven individuals and an easier way to finance the
business. It requires a good management structure that will work hand and hand for the success of the
organization. The management will consider general working policies and development programs that

Water refilling stations have been highly demanded because it is cheaper and more convenient
than those purified water bottles (Magtibay, 2004). Its quality meets the standards nationally and it is
greater and safer than other water supply in terms of removing its impurities. Aqua Victa will be
located at Tapuac District, Dagupan City, Pangasinan (along the highway, in front of City
Astrodome, near LNU), and will offer a business to business, and business to consumer transactions
because it is near to the other businesses that need a supply of water. Also, it is near subdivisions
and residences which a lot of people live in and it has a greater chance that the business will become
their supplier of water because there is only limited water refilling station in the area .

When selling purified water, there will be an expected broad range of available customers. To
be able for the business to be known popularly, the business will not limit its target market only to
just a group of people, instead, all the residents who live in Tapuac and Lucao neighborhood, which
is the target location. The researchers are also planning to sell the product through personal contact
to help the firm in circulating the news about the proponents business. The target market will surely
benefit from the cheaper cost of the product and is easier to buy from. It is also guaranteed to

No supply of water
problem if the business will encounter a water outage in the area where the business will
be put up into. A possible solution for this is to get an update from the water district with
regards to the schedule of water outage in order to inform the customers of Aqua Victa
about the possible out of service on the day of outage. Alternatively, the employees
Andaya, B., Bucao, S.P., Castro, N.M., Cera, A.M., Pagad, C.L., Quilaton,

deliveries beforehand.

because the machine depends on the electricity. To avoid this circumstance, the

The availability of water refilling stations is high since the business concept is already
available in the market which can be the reason for the decrease of the overall profit of the
business. It will be easy to copy because almost all water refilling stations use the same
equipment and methods. However, the proponents will continuously develop the services needed
to run the business, promote fast delivery services, maintain the cleanliness of the surroundings,
and follow restrictions and protocols from the regulators, and maintain to serve the product with

As stated by the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of Filipinos get sick with water-
borne diseases yearly. Even in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, has only about three-quarters of the
population has access to municipally provided water. Outside of Manila, even less people have access to

If they are to prevent cholera epidemics and other health problems caused by the foul, polluted
water available in their neighborhoods, these families must find alternative water sources in both
locations. The World Bank Group (2003), up to 58 percent of the groundwater supply in the country
intended for drinking are contaminated with coliform and requires possible treatments.
As reported by an article published in the Lifestyle Inquirer, the majority of Filipino households
buy their drinking water from refilling stations. Water refilling stations are supposed to have clean water,
water refilling stations in Metro Manila lack a sanitary permit, and 35 percent do not meet proper

sanitization procedures. Contamination may occur as a result of improper storage, transportation, and
exposure to the elements. There were more than 200 water refilling stations in Zamboanga City, but only
One out of five Filipinos did not get water from formal sources, conforming to Greenpeace. As
stated by Yap, only 77 percent of the rural population and 90 percent of those in urban areas have access
to an improved water source. On the other hand, only 44 percent have direct house connections. Water
provision for the disadvantaged and poor communities can be a powerful tool for reducing poverty
because it affects health, income and consumption, as well as gender and social inclusion.

the given questions for the business. The proponents explain to the respondents the terms of answering
the questionnaire as their answer will be reliable and of great importance to the business. They must
provide an honest answer as they will be a responsible subject for the feasibility study. The proponents
will use a random sampling method where a subset of a statistical population in which each member of
the subset has an equal probability of being chosen. A simple random sample is meant to be an unbiased
representation of a group (Hayes, 2021). After the respondents answer the question, the researchers will

Industry Overview
According to the Philippine State College of Aeronautics (2017), Water refilling stations can be a
good source of safe drinking water. Purified water can meet the aesthetic standards easily detectable by
the people in terms of taste, odor, and color. The efficient water purification processes can make the
quality of water superior to the traditional water systems. However, the risk of contamination is possible
if the handling practices are not closely monitored. The following aspects must all be in place to ensure
the development of safe water in water refilling stations and prevent waterborne diseases: enforcement of

Dagupan and neighboring areas/ cities. Also, the researcher ensures that the location of the business is
centrally located in major roads prone to both human and vehicular traffic, the large distribution network
and of course their excellent customer service culture will count as a strong power to help the business
grow. The researchers are also in business to make profits, to give the satisfaction of costumers, to give
their needs (safe drinking water) at the same to give their customers value for their money; they want to

Market Description
Since the researchers are familiar with the water refill station industry, they agreed that the
company does not require aggressive marketing expertise to sell their water business. People in search of
clean and secure water would most likely seek out the closest water refilling station. The explanation they
will like to Aqua Victa is to let people know about the novelty of their company and to raise general
Andaya, B., Bucao, S.P., Castro, N.M., Cera, A.M., Pagad, C.L., Quilaton,
83A.J. Martin, A.N.A

awareness. Other places where their services could be required include public buildings, residences, and
even businesses, especially where the current water supply system fails or is undergoing repairs and
general maintenance. Meanwhile, customers are satisfied with the product offering pricing and
promotional activities of the water refilling stations. As a result, water refilling stations must consider
marketing strategy, especially promotion. Additionally, they can offer freebies (1 gallon) when all of the
cards provided to customers are being stamped. This will help to maintain the customer's loyalty to the
company.

Supply Over the years, as the demand for cleaner water becomes higher, the price of household
water purifiers and bottled water has become prohibitive. Water refilling stations managed by private
entrepreneurs offer a cheaper and more convenient solution to the public’s drinking water needs than
Purified water in 5-gallon (22.7 liters) containers is now supplied directly to people's homes by
the station, owing to customer convenience. Aqua Victa, a water refilling station in Dagupan City's
Tapuac District, will supply the amount of gallon slim containers needed by their clients for the day.

Aqua Victa's firm advertising relies on personal contacts. People in the vicinity of the firm's
position can technically speak about the newly formed business. The number of customers will grow year
over year due to personal touch, but Aqua Victa does not depend solely on personal interaction.
Since Water Refilling Stations do not often offer discounts, the business owners devised the
“Buy 10 plus 1” water discount. The customer will be given a card to ensure that they purchased water
that day or so. Any time they buy water, the front liner or the technical assistant will label or sign the
boxes inside the card, depending on which of the two is open. When all ten boxes have been

completely signed, the customer can choose whether or not to assert his/her free 1 container of water.
Following the claim of the free item, the box designated for the free item would be labelled so that the
customer can not need it for any free item. This marketing technique is only applicable in such situations.
This advertising strategy is only applicable on special occasions declared by the business.
