CHAPTER 2
This chapter presents the background of the study and the operational definition
of terms.
especially now that many people are concerned about their health. Our product's main purpose is
to be an organic repellent, potentially protecting humans from mosquitoes that can spread dengue
fever. We wish to provide this product to the market to meet the demands of potential customers
who would wish to avoid exposure to the disease vector; effectively providing an alternative
According to Dr. Marcela (2014) one of the most dangerous insect in the world is Mosquito. It
can harm plants, food and humans. Origanum vulgare, generally known as Oregano,was a
culinary and medical herb from the mint family (Lamiaceae). It was used for cooking and
medicinal purposes, ranging from treating infections to repelling insects. The chemicals that give
the herb its unique and pleasant smell are thymola white crystalline substance of a pleasant
aromatic odor and strong antiseptic properties, pinene gives many compounds for perfumery,
such as artificial odorants most widely encountered terpenoid in nature and was highly repellant
to insects, limonene was a chemical found in the peels of citrus fruits and in other plants,
carvacrol was present in the essential oil oregano, and caryophyllene it boosts immunity because
mosquitoes nowadays heightened public health awareness. Mosquitoes are vital vectors of
infections and aggravation pests. It stimulate nuisance by their bites. A carriers of severe and
well-known illnesses such as malaria, arboviral encephalitis, dengue fever, chikungunya fever,
West Nile virus, and yellow fever. Their activity was affected by climate, light and temperature.
Furthermore, they are easily available, accessible and affordable therefore usage of traditional
repellent plants should be promoted among the local residents in order to reduce vector-borne
disease prevalence. More recently, the Department of Health (DOH,2017) today approaches
nearby officials and families to heighten mosquito anticipation and control measures at home and
in the group, and to shield themselves from being chomped by mosquitoes, especially in high
hazard zones.
A few plant specialists plant oregano in the garden to repulse nuisances, for example,
mosquitoes, and others assert the fundamental oil was a mosquito repellent. In addition, scientific
proof to help this claim was insufficient, however oregano contains two chemicals with known
anti-agents properties, and in light of the fact that oregano was "generally recognized as safe" by
the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA, 2015), it doesn't hurt to test for yourself.
Greenstock and Larrea (2013) also suggest keeping the crops away from traps related with
unsustainable cropping practices. Another belief was that garlic was a powerful anti-agent. It has
a direct anti-agents impact when rubbed on the skin, despite the fact that there are significantly
more compelling anti-agents accessible that likewise have an all the more satisfying scent. The
utilization of garlic nonetheless, has not been appeared to be effective at turning the mosquitoes

Research Methodology
The Respondents
The respondents of the study were the selected household in the Municipality of Palayan
The proponents used Slovin’s formula to identify the total number of respondents
required per barangay to provide accurate results. According to Hotjar Ltd (n.d.), the sample size
needed to attain a specific confidence interval while sampling a population is determined using
Slovin's formula. When you don't have enough knowledge of a population's behavior (or the
distribution of a behavior) to determine the ideal sample size, you can apply this formula.
Slovin’s formula is written as: n= N / (1+Ne2), where: n= the number of samples, N=the total

Market Strategies
The proposed business will use the marketing mix also called as 4P’s of marketing to
market the proposed products. According to Yasar (n.d.), the marketing mix, also known as the
4Ps of marketing, refers to the four key elements of a business's marketing strategy: product,
price, place and promotion. By paying attention to these four components, businesses can
maximize the chances of developing and selling products that are recognized by customers and
bought.
Product Strategies
To attract more customers, the proponents came up with the following product strategies:
(1) Oregano Oil Candle will be the first one Insect Repellent for the first time in the market; (2)
Oregano Oil Candle will offer a unique product that comes with health benefits; and (3) The
proposed products will have consistent quality level and preparation and standardization in
Pricing Strategies
The proposed business will adapt the cost-plus pricing. As per Hart (2021), the cost-plus
pricing method is also known as markup pricing. It is a pricing method in which a fixed
percentage is added to the cost of producing one unit of a product. Price will be determined
based on the cost allocated from buying the supplies and ingredients needed for the operation.
