Introduction
Nowadays, stealing of valuable things or stuff inside the bag is one of the major
concern of every individual. An ordinary bag is use to bring some things that is important and
things that are light to bring wherever you want to go to, a none heavy materials that suits for the
basic needs. In a modern generation like today is composed of several technologies and that is
why the ideas to be develop or innovate must go on with. The primary and major problem of an
ordinary bag faces nowadays is the stealing, stealing is everywhere so that safety issues are
prone. Especially to all bags that are capable of having important matters when it comes to
public. Thought it helps the people with their belongings specifically to the students but for the
safeness of all it, so that it should be improve. According to Charlton (2018), rumors and
incidents specially to the students like drugs, knives and guns being stored in lockers brings into
question the age old practice of assigning hall room lockers to students. In many schools across
America, backpacks have taken the place of locker. The days of struggling with stubborn lock
combinations, balancing armloads of books and racing through hallways to beat the tardy bell to
retrieve
essential materials are virtually gone. However, recent health and securing issues have raised
alarm about backpacks also being used to hide contraband and weapons.
In using ordinary bags there are a lot of possible challenges that can be faced. It
causes the students worries and required full attention especially when they put something
expensive inside since the bag since it is not hundred percent secured. Ordinary bags used low
quality fabric hence get robbed and damage easily. Especially today, bag manufacturer
focuses on the design of the bag to get or catch the attention of the buyers without considering
the durability of the bag. Ordinary bag is not suitable to use when it is raining since the fabric
being used is not waterproof and it might damage the stuff or things inside the ordinary bag.
In this research study entitled anti-theft bag with fingerprint and GPS, the
researchers have come up with an alternative and basic way to track down and catch thieve;
The designed bag is not only for fashion purpose but also as a helper and at the same time
burden less works from policemen. The research product has four (4) main feature. First, the
zip of this backpack compartment will be covered. Second, this bag composed of GPS so
that if the owners forgot where they put their bag, it is easy for the owner to find it with the
use of GPS which is connected to their mobile phone to locate the location of the bag. The
third is the researcher’s bag is multi-purpose; you can use the bag in many different ways,
for example you want to make the backpack into a shoulder bag, then you can make it
easily since the will be designed to become a multi-purpose bag. Lastly is the main feature
of the researchers bag is the fingerprint device, it is use to detect if the bag is yours or not,
and if you are the owner of the
bag your fingerprint will be programmed to the device, when you’re not the owner and you
try to open it, the bag will alarm. In this design, the bag can help lessen the crimes of
thievery. The electronic technology like GPS and fingerprint sensor can give confidence to
the people who uses it and discourage thieves because there is a high chances of failure and
being caught. Bags designed with anti-theft security system can protect the belongings
inside it more effectively compared to the normal bag without anti-thief security system.
With the use of the researcher product the “Anti-theft bag with fingerprint and GPS” will
surely protect your personal belongings.
Review Related Literature
This chapter presents a detailed review of relevant literature on the researchers study
entitled Anti-Theft Bag with Fingerprint and GPS: Level of awareness of Grade 12 Senior High
School students of STI College Cotabato on existing ordinary bag.
Stealing in classroom affects one's self-confidence
Students around the world steal for a variety of reasons. Some students steal simply
caused by wanting an item due to their insecurities and haven't developed the impulse control to
curb their behavior. Other students steal to express unhappiness or distress, or to get back at
someone they believe has wronged them. Still others steal to gain status with their peers or to get
attention from their teachers. According to Aristotle's normative moral theory of stealing as cited
by ( Dimmock , 2017 ) those people who engage in the act of stealing on the basis of rashness,
shamefulness and irascibility will not be considered as a moral or a good behavior. Thus, those
students who engage in such particular action might prone to embarrassment and this
embarrassment may lead the students to lost or determinate their self-confidence and self-esteem
and it might affect their academic performance in school as well as their personal behavior.
According to Shore's (2016), Whatever the motivation for stealing, when responding to
a theft, there are three goals or things to do: to return the item to its owner, to identify the guilty
student, and to respond to him with a mixture of firmness and understanding. If there have been a
number of incidents of stealing inside the classroom, students will also want to consider how to
prevent their recurrence. These incidents may create conflict and distrust among students, every
individual need to deal with the situation promptly and sensitively. In addition, some researchers
believed that students should not criticize or judge the thieves as it can interfere with learning
and lead to long-term resentment. On the other hand, every individual must be mindful on the
feelings and emotions of others since it is hard to handle feelings of being embarrassed and
humiliated in crowd.
Stealing is uncouth behavior or a bad idea that has put people in troubles and has
affected the offenders in negative ways in their entire lives. Besides, stealing also has negative
impacts on the society hence is usually minimized through laws. On the same note, it brings
legal, social and personal consequences and punishment.
To this day, humiliation remains a common form of punishment, abuse, and oppression.
Conversely, the dread of humiliation is a strong deterrent against crime, and history has devised
many forms of humiliating mob punishments (Burton, 2020). Students , Teachers and even the
society choose to humiliate the guilty students for several reasons: to gain control over them,
since the victim is desperate; to frighten other students; or they're over-compensating for their
own lack of confidence. Some victim actually think they have a right to humiliate a guilty
student since the student deserves it due to committing such action like stealing , without
minding the fact that it might damage one's dignity and lost someone's confident.
Guilty students typically face negative consequences in the community including loss
of trust between the members of the society and objection by the family members , teachers and
other students and might experience embarrassment , humiliating and belittling by the others and
it has possible impact on the student confidence and self-esteem.
According to Curwin ( 2015 ), Every student in school deserves the right to feel
emotionally safe from embarrassment and humiliation by peers , by other teachers and staff , and
by other students. When this safety is violated, not only does academic performance suffer, but
also students might never be free of the hurt for the rest of their lives. Thus , if the students feel
humiliated and feel embarrassed by peers and other students will face long-term effects not only
with their physical health but as well as their mental and emotional health.
Thus, every individual should be mindful on the feeling of others , in view to the fact
that all human being deserves to feel emotionally safe from embarrassment or humiliation by the
society , students and peers as embarrassment and humiliation was positively associated with lost
of one's dignity and self-confidence . Therefore , Government officials and School administrator
should be aware on the impact of stealing to the students , it which it can be a reason to lost their
dignity and self-confidence and they should put time and effort educate the guilty student about
stealing and its possible consequences since those student who commit such action may have
only a limited understanding of property rights and might need help grasping the consequences
of stealing , both for the thieves and for the victim of stealing. As stealing in or outside the
school is such a common phenomenon today.

Stealing during coronavirus pandemic
Cases of theft, stealing, and robbery a cross the country went down by 60 percent
during the 200-day community quarantine period caused by the deadliest Coronavirus disease or
Covid-19. Some studies revealed that crime incidents were reduced by 47 percent nationwide
during the same period. From 5,627 cases during the 200-day period before the quarantine period
was implemented, cases of robbery dropped to only 2,073 from March 17 to October 2,
according to JTF Covid Shield commander Police Lt. Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar.
( Recuenco,2020)
According to Pesco (2020), the crime rate in the Philippines dropped by 47 percent
nationwide during the six-month quarantine that the government imposed due to Coronavirus
disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. The 31,661 crime incidents from September 15,2019 to
March 16,2020 decreased to 16,879 from March 17 to September 16, 2020, said Eleazar,
commander of the Joint Task Force Covid Shield. The decline translates to an average of 92
cases per day during
the lockdown period compared to the 172 before the lockdown, according to Eleazar. The Joint
Task Force Covid Shield have been conducting analysis of the crime situation in the past six
months in order to identify or determine the best practices and security adjacements that they
could replicate in other areas and eventually institutionalize in order to sustain this momentum.
In addition, the nine-month community quarantine prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic is being
credited with a decline in crime volume but some experts expressed fear that the lockdown had
aggravated abuse largely caused by restrictions on movement and scant resources.
The eight focus crimes of the Philippine National Police (PNP) consist of murder,
homicide, physical injury, rape, robbery, theft, catnapping of motorcycles and catnapping of
vehicles. According to the data showed by the Philippine National Police, the volume of the said
8 focuses crime nationwide had dropped and decreased by 45 percent during the 275 days of
lockdown enforcement. Moreover, the crime volume during the pandemic caused by
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) was lowest since there were smaller number of people in
the streets as everyone are required to stay at home to lessen the transmission of SARS Cov2, the
virus that causes Covid-19 and which is spread mainly by humans.
Since economic activities worldwide were restrained during the national health crises,
Eleazar emphasize its effect on crime against property, which had the biggest decline among the
eight crimes listed by the PNP. These included murder, homicide, physical injury, rape, robbery,
theft, catnapping of motorcycles and catnapping of vehicles.
10
During the pandemic, there is no economic activity especially in the Philippines due to
the past transmission of Coronavirus Virus disease 2019. Hence, there were smaller number of
people outside since the local government required every individual to stay at home to lessen the
transmission of the said virus. Moreover, the Philippine National Police determined and found
out that among all the eight focuses crimes reported in the regional office, the number of crimes
against properties, such as theft, decline further compared with crimes against person.
According to Marquez (2020), comparing figures from pre-lockdown to quarantine
implementation, the PNP said cases of motorcycles theft had the highest decrease with 61
percent, followed by robbery with 59 percent, theft with 57 percent and theft of motor vehicles
with 52 percent. All these are considered as crimes against property. Philippine National Police
records also showed a significant decrease in crimes against persons. It recorded 40 percent
decline of cases of physical injury from 8,546 before the lockdowns to 5,111 during community
quarantine. This was followed by homicide cases which decline by 26 percent from 1,276 cases
before the lockdown to 942 during quarantine periods. Police also reported that rape cases fell by
21 percent from 7,274 prior to lockdown to 5,764 during community quarantine. Murder cases
fell by 19 percent from 4,796 prior to lockdown to 3,889 during the nine-month quarantine.
On the other hand, some researchers from different countries believe that there is some
increase in people who engage in the act of stealing specifically to those individuals who are
jobless or facing extreme poverty, they were forced to steal since they are not able to pay for the
items due to the national crises caused by the Coronavirus disease 2019 or Covid-19.
11
According to Bhattaral and Denham (2020), the coronavirus recession has been a
relentless churn of high unemployment and economic uncertainty, the government stimulus that
kept millions of Americans from falling into poverty earlier in the pandemic is long gone, and
new aid still a dot on the horizon after months of congressional inaction. Hunger is chronic, at
levels not seen in decades. The result is a growing subset of Americans who are stealing food to
survive. Shoplifting is up markedly since the pandemic began in the spring and at higher levels
that in past economic downturns, according to interviews across the country. But what is
distinctive about this trend, expert say, is what is being taken – more on staples like bread, pasta
and baby formula. Though shoplifting trends to spike during national crises – it jumped 16
percent after the September 11, 2001 attacks and 34 percent after 2008 recession according to the
National Association for Shoplifting Preventions which tracks data from U.S. courts – the
current trend line is skewing even higher, according to Read Hayez a criminologist at the
University of the Florida and the director of the Loss Prevention Research Council.
Despite of the coronavirus outbreak, there are still theft cases identified and reported
everyday and every individual knows that stealing is uncivilized actions that has put people in
difficulties and has affected the lawbreakers in negative ways in their entire lives. However,
according to Corpez (2020), Thomas Aquinas believe that taking another property, whether
openly or secretly, is morally acceptable in extremely rare but ominously not unreal
circumstances. In his magnum opus Summa Theologica, the medieval Catholic philosopher –
saint Thomas Aquinas ask whether it is ethical to steal in a time of extreme necessary. He
answers: if the need to be so
12
manifest and urgent, that it is evident that the present need must be remedied by whatever means
be at hand ( for instance, when a person is in some imminent danger, and there are no possible
remedy) then it is lawful for a man to succor his own need by means of another property by
taking it either openly or secretly: not is this property speaking theft or
Robbery.
There are two reasons why the medieval Catholic philosopher – saint Thomas Aquinas
believe that taking another’s property, whether openly or secretly, is morally acceptable in
extremely rare but ominously not unreal circumstances. First, he thinks that human life is more
valuable than lifeless property. In the hierarchy of values, human life is at the top. Proof? Just
observe our trade-offs in an effort to save human lives from COVID-19. Second, he thinks that
private property is not so private after all. There is no such thing as absolute ownership of earthly
goods because ultimately everything belongs to God. Urgent necessity supersedes exclusivity of
ownership. Thomas Aquinas says, “…in cases of need all things are common property, so that
there would seem to be no sin in taking another’s property, for need has made it common.”
Third, if in this rare circumstance of life-threatening necessity everything is commonly owned,
then taking it is not stealing at all! For how can you steal something that you also own by reason
of necessity? So, this is not a case of a good intention (to save ones life) being justified by a bad
means (stealing). The moral law on stealing is not broken. More exactly, the law implicitly
provides a small opening for the faultlessness of a starving person taking (and not stealing)
another person’s food.
13
Thus, amidst the pandemic there are still cases of theft being reported in the regional
authority, due to the extreme poverty. Some individuals are forced to steal since they can’t afford
to provide and pay for their basic necessities since everyone are required to stay at home to
lessen the transmission of Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Hence, almost individual has no
source of income during this outbreak and they were just depending on the government.
Therefore, in order for the people to not reach the desperate point of using their right to steal, the
social institution should works in their favor during the grimmest situation. Local government
must prioritize the basic needs of every individual especially during this time of pandemic, so
that the number of crime rates will totally dropped out and the problem of stealing will be solved.
Negative consequences of stealing
Stealing is uncivilized actions that has put people in difficulties and has affected the
lawbreaker in negative ways in their entire lives. Besides, stealing also has negative influence on
the society hence is usually minimized through laws. On the same note, it brings legal, social and
personal consequences and punishment. There are different forms of stealing that range
burglarious act, robbery, unauthorized use of someone’s property or cars, fraud, giving, false
shoplifting and information to credit agency among other. In most cases, the consequences of
stealing can be a Class C misdemeanor, felony charges or death depending on the value of the
items stolen and the circumstances where the activity occurs. Some people have received simple
fines, community service, and jail terms among other people.
14
Stealing is usually prohibited in the society. Thieves usually face damaging
consequences in the community including loss of trust in between the members. In addition to
some society generally tag greater rates for the thieves to make up for the losses and commotions
that they have caused enterprise individuals and the entire society primarily based therefore it is
not advised in the neighborhood standards . Most people treat it as poor moral, dishonest and
after becoming charged due to the behavior, the particular person has to bear the permanent
criminal record for his or her complete life. Thus , it has a unfavorable consequence in
personality, respect, and diminishes a person’s opportunities in employment place among other
people. On a similar version, if the perpetrator is an alien, then the particular person might face
deportation and other migration consequences after conviction for the crime.
Stealing cause a big problem for a family when the thief is caught. Besides, stealing
also has negative influence on the society hence is usually minimized through laws. Theft, in law
a general term covering a variety of specific types of stealing, including the crime of larceny,
robbery and burglary.
Stealing is legally and ethically wrong. In conclusion, stealing usually has penalties and
sentences which range for a felony to misdemeanor among others. However, the impacts of
stealing in a person’s life are great irrespective of minor crime.
15
Production of ordinary bag
Ordinary bags is a container that can be made of thin paper, leather, or plastic with one
or two hands which mainly used for carrying particular or personal things, for vegetable
shopping, for carrying sports gear to the gym, or for lunch box and this have been prevalent for a
hundred years. So it is essential to talk about its importance on how to secure its production or
manufacturing process for quality assurance. A backpack also called knapsack, rucksack,
rucksack, pack, sack pack, book sack, book bag or back sack is, in its simplest frameless form, a
cloth sack carried on one’s back and secured with two straps that go over the shoulders, but it
can have an external frame, internal frame, and there are body packs. According to Ruan (2019),
backpack is a necessity in life, it is good companion for us to travel. Backpacks are commonly
used by hikers and students, and are often preferred to handbags for carrying heavy loads or
carrying any sort of equipment, because of the limited capacity to carry heavy weights for long
periods of time in the hands. Large backpacks, used to carry loads over 10 kilograms, as well as
smaller sports backpacks (e.g. running, cycling, hiking and hydration), usually offload the largest
part (up to about 90%) of their weight onto padded hip belts, leaving the shoulder straps mainly
for stabilizing the load. This improves the potential to carry heavy loads, as the hips are stronger
than the shoulders, and also increases agility and balance, since the load rides nearer the wearer’s
own center of mass.
The methods used to create handbags will vary between different brands, but the
process of manufacturing bag usually start from creating the body of the bag. If the bag is high
quality and hand-made, the manufacturer will choose a piece of leather, which is consistent in
16
color and use it to cut out five basics section of the bag, the front, the back, the side and the
bottom. To cut out the parts and to ensure that all handbags have the same size, the artisan will
use special pattern. The sections are stitched together by hand starting from sewing the front,
back, side and to the bottom and then will start stitching the parts together. If the lining is
stitched to the interior bag it is often sewn together with sides and bottom. If the material used to
create the bag has pattern on it, the high quality manufactured will cut each of the section in such
a way, which allows to match the pattern to the seams. This part creating a bag can take a few
hours or even a whole day of work, depending on how complicated the pattern are or how much
hand stitching is required. For example, it has the design that is cross stitch needle.
The process of manufacturing a machine made bag is usually much quicker and much
sloppier. The pattern does not much on the seams. The color of the leather or faux leather might
not be consist throughout the bag. The stitching can be even or more sloppy, with occasional
hanging and loose threads.
On attaching the straps and embellishments, the straps or handbag can be made from a
different materials and can be removable or not. For example, evening bags often have chain
straps while laptop cases and totes most often have straps made of the same leather which was
use to create the body of the bag. If the straps is made of metal chain, the chain can usually
attached to a metal ring. If the straps is made of leather, the manufactured usually cut two
identical, long pieces, which are folded over one another.
17
The leather straps can be stitch to the sides of the handbag or it can be attached with the
metal ring. Handmade bag usually have very durable straps made of leather or durable metal, but
low quality bags can have straps made of fabrics or plastic, which can be consider as non-
lifetime bag as leather or metal bag. The last part of the handbag making process involves
attaching all sort of embellishments such as pattern, beads, clasps, etc. If the bag is handmade,
these part are usually sewn into the bag, but if the bag is machine made, they might be glued into
bags and be less durable.
The entire backpack manufacturing process is extremely interesting and features five
steps to completion. After the paper cutouts are laid out, the next step is cutting the material.
Giant bolts of fabric are unrolled and measured to be used in molds. All of the fabric pieces are
cut separately and then brought together through stitching. The front pocket is sewn on and the
zippers are added at this stage. These pieces are set aside so the straps can be sewn together. The
buckles and latches are attached to the straps once they are complete.
The exterior of the backpack is then sewn all together as the straps are added to the bag.
At this stage the back is almost completely ready for use. Now all that needs to be done is
detailing. Excess thread is snipped and any snags in the stitches are evened out. Of course,
there’s one more step in getting your custom designed backpacks. This involves branding the bag
with your design or logo through screen-printing, heat transfer, or embroidery. (Quality
Logo,2017)
In securing the bags, it must check the sewing quality and conformity. But first let us talk
about
18
the product quality, according to Sampson (2019), Regardless of what industry that the business
in, customers are not going to choose the product by just based on price, but mostly on the
quality itself. In fact, studies have shown that customers will pay more for a product or service
that they think is made well or exceeds the standard and quality of products help to maintain
customer satisfaction and loyalty. And at the same time quality of product makes it more
profitable for a business itself.
In today’s generation, people are carefully selecting products and look first at the
quality before they patronized it so that they will know if the products are worth the money being
paid so clearly the quality has something to do with the importance of securing a products, in
marketing a products that are being manufactured it is necessary to verify first their quality by
conducting audits of the manufacturers and meticulously inspecting the products so if the
product is inline to industrial sewing machine it is important to have a bit of regular maintenance
in the sewing machine in order to help or to prevent some of the sewing machine problems and
for the materials make sure that materials are thick, heavy and durable especially for the fabric
and lastly the key to creating something strong or to secure bags is to identify the weak points
and strengthen the seams from both inside and outside to keep from busting a seam.
Securing bag can prevent this psychological effect to the students such as sadness,
hopelessness, and other anti social behaviors.
Using ordinary type of bag is quiet challenging for the students as it has a huge
19
possibilities that their valuable stuff and expensive things might lose. Stealing of valuable stuff is
usually always a surprise, and all its consequences cannot v prepared for. In addition, to physical
and economic consequences, the victim of stealing or theft often experiences psychological and
social consequences. According to Victim Support Finland (2017), reacting to a crime is normal.
The person's own history, life situation, energy resources and method of dealing with the events
influence the reaction. Strong emotions are also brought on by the idea of what could have
happened. For some people, an experience of crime may cause slight harms, for others it can v a
very tragic experience that leads to a traumatic crises. Feeling of insecurity, fear and anxiety are
common. A person suddenly end up in a situation they did not believe would happen to them. An
experience of crime may feel unreal and like a nightmare. Anxiety takes over an unnecessary
amount of the mind, cause pain and the sense of worthlessness. Guilt and shame are intertwined.
Moreover, the victim of crime may suffer from depression , eating disorders or self-destructive
behavior. Suicidal thoughts and attempts nay be possible, in the same way as the use of alcohol
and/or drugs. The thought of the pain easing over time does not always bring comfort, because
after a traumatic experience the person may not always have the ability to shape the future. The
victim may feel powerless and isolated, in which case normal, everyday discussions are not of
any interest. Emotions of anger, aggression, depression and anguish may vary and resentment or
revenge nay poison the mind. Due to traumatic experience, the victim's ability to think and act
rationally may weaken, in which case understanding any information provided may prove more
difficult. Procedures may he forgotten or they are remembered wrong.
Thus, a victim of theft and stealing may possibly experience many different kinds of
20
physical and psychological effects. For instance, those students who are victim of theft nay
experience psychological effects such as anger, depression or fear, which in serious cases, can
cause sleeplessness, flashbacks to the offense or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
feelings of anxiety through shock that such a thing has happened and worries about
revictimisation , sometimes leading to feelings of loss of trust in one's community and in society.
Securing bag can avoid stealing
Bag is often use by the students to bring some sensitive and expensive stuff like laptop,
iPad, cellphones and wallets when going to school. However, stealing of valuable and expensive
stuff is already common especially in school. According to the study, theft is one of the most
prevalent crimes reported in every school campus around the world, specifically for those
campuses who holds larger number of students.
According to Writer (2017), a disturbance in large crowd is oftentimes a way for
thieves to bump into targets to steal valuables. It can only take a second or two to steal your
wallet from your pocket, a handbag, or a backpack. To eliminate the opportunity from becoming
a victim, both men and women need to be smart about the approach of strangers. When a
disturbance or disagreement breaks out, hold onto your valuables, handbag, and wallet until the
disturbance is completely over and you are away from the crowd. The same thing goes for if you
are watching a performances or street performers, enjoy the show, but know when and how are
you going to secure and protect your valuables first.
21
Furthermore, some researchers from different countries conducted a study on how
students can avoid having their belongings stolen. According to Chesley (2019), we have saying
around here: “lock it or lose it”. Do not leave valuables unattended or unsecured at any time,
even if you are going to be gone for only a few minutes. To avoid becoming a victim, always
remember that theft is a crime of opportunity. Some specific suggestions include purchasing a
laptop cable lick and securing the laptop to something fixed, like a table or desk leg. In addition,
according to Peek (2017), a lockable securing box or bag that integrally affixes to an object
where it is derivable to protect your valuables on a larger moveable object.
Thus, in order for the students to avoid theft, and protect his or her valuables, students
need to be alert to their surroundings especially when going to a crowded place. Students need to
protect their valuables so that thieves can’t access them when they do target the students.
Secured bag can lessen students’ worries
Worries make our life so weary. Worry walks with us and worn us out, But still we
prefer to carry the load not actually realizing its burden. There is sure to be a time when we
realize the burden getting off our shoulders affecting both the physical and mental health. There
are many negative side effects of worrying that can cause problems in both our mental and
physical health that may. One of these is sleeping disorder like insomnia and will this can also
affect our school life, not having enough sleep at night will result in not paying attention in class
because you’re sleepy and in turn you will have low grades. This will also give you a heightened
cortisol response
22
that leads to high blood pressure and rapid weight gained. Lowered immune system reaction
leaving you vulnerable to many illnesses.
Worry and perseverative thought are trans diagnostic processes that have been linked to
negative health effects. Worrying will also give you headache and difficulty in making decisions
that will lead you into an unwanted situations that may or may not benefit you. The anti-thief bag
will lessen student’s worries about thievery in their belonging inside their bags and can focus in
studying that will give them higher grades and many achievements. Anti-thief bag also give
students confidence because of its unique and wonderful design that is popular in today’s time
enabling students to be more bold and daring. This allows students to seize every opportunity
that comes in their way.
Advantage of a security system in the market
Anti-thief bag is an excellent product that will not only satisfy the consumers with its
design but also help them protect their belongings. The product should always be excellent in
any way so the students will see that the product benefits them. When making a purchase,
customers values the products benefit higher than its function as they don’t want any product that
don’t give any benefits. It is believed that, it is not to be satisfied and delighted as they must
perceived that the product is excellent (Larforce et al, 1995). Customer always purchases a
product that can actually give them benefits that are equal or higher than the cost of the product.
23
According to Page (1995) product is anything offering to consumer which either solve
problem or provide benefit including any "add-ons" e.g. guarantees. In many cases, product will
be the most important element in the marketing mix; it lies at the care of successful marketing.
The anti-thief bag solves the problem of many people about the thievery of their belongings and
bags with its security system of GPS that can locate the bag in case it was stolen or forgotten.
Finger print lock can assure you that only you and no other person can open that bag. These will
also help the consumers in preventing thievery from happening that may cause a trauma to the
victim of the crime and help lessen their worries ensuring a good and positive mental health. The
security system gives students confidence that their belongings will be safe and enables them to
concentrate to their study and schoolwork allowing them to have greater achievements in school.
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
As a normative moral theory of Aristotle as cited by ( Dimmock , 2017 ) Aristotelian
Virtue Ethics states that, the virtue ethicist is not interested in the moral status of individual
actions, but rather is interested in the character traits and disposition of the person performing
those actions. Using to reason to work out the virtues Golden Mean in the different spheres of
life, Aristotle suggested the following as virtuous and non-virtuous character traits. Thus, those
who engage in the act of stealing on the basis of righteousness, courage and virtuous patience
maybe considered moral, whereas those who engage in the act of stealing on the basis of
rashness, shamefulness and irascibility will not be considered moral. This reveals something
interesting about the application
24
of virtue ethics to stealing. According to virtue ethics, the very same act performed by two
different people can be viewed differently from a moral perspective. This theory implies that we
should not judge the thieves without knowing the reason behind why he/she performed that
particular action. However, there are a lot of people will contradict or against with this
perspective, especially here in the Philippines because peoples mindset here in the Philippines is,
if someone steal other property without permission whether it’s basis is good not is still
considered as a crime.

CHAPTER IV
Discussion
This study chapter discusses the level of awareness of Grade 12 Senior High School
Students of STI College Cotabato on the ordinary bag.
Based on the results, the researchers identified seven (7) major findings. 1.) Students
are often aware that securing bag can be reliable to put high value product inside the bag, 2.)
Students are often aware that securing bag by its high quality will not make the students buy
another one in case of damage, 3.) Students are often aware that ordinary bag It's not safe to use
when traveling due to its lack of security feature, 4.) Students are often aware that ordinary bag
is not suitable to use when it is raining since it is not waterproof, 5.) Securing bag is the major
solution to avoid being a victim of thieves, 6.) Majority of the students have already experienced
being victim of thieves, lastly, 7.) Majority of the students preferred to use backpack.
37
Students are often aware that securing bag can be reliable to put high value product inside
the bag
The first major finding of the study is that students are often aware that securing bag
can be reliable to put high value product inside the bag. The major problem of not securing bag
is to loss some necessary important items inside the bag especially when travelling. According to
Rob (2019), securing the bag makes and teach to learn how to develop a powerful money
mindset along with time tested strategies that will help to take fully control of financial life. If
not intentionally to get and became wealthy, it will result end up accidentally poor. Losing
important items like jewelry inside at bag is one of the annoying moment that every people learn
from it, thus it likely to be careful and better luck next time when putting such a precious item at
bag. In the result, having a comfortable bag will help to make the trip more enjoyable and
moving around easier. Securing bag makes everyone feel comfortable in putting their expensive
stuff like laptop, mobile phone, and important papers inside their bag.
Students are often aware that securing bag by Its high quality will not make the students
buy another one in case of damage
The second major findings of study is that students are often aware that the quality of
the product plays an important role for it to be secure and long lasting. Since most of the
ordinary bags tend to be machine made for faster production it is usually sloppier, pattern does
not much on the seams, The color of the leather or faux leather might not be consist throughout
the bag, The stitching can be even or more sloppy, with occasional hanging and loose threads,
The last part of the handbag making process involves attaching all sort of designs such as
pattern, beads, clasps,
38
etc. If the bag is handmade, these part are usually sewn into the bag, but if the bag is machine
made, they might be glued into bags and be less durable. According to Sampson (2019),
Regardless of what industry that the business in, customers are not going to choose the product
by just based on price, but mostly on the quality itself. In fact, studies have shown that customers
will pay more for a product or service that they think is made well or exceeds the standard and
quality of products help to maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty. Costumers make sure that
they buy a worth it and long lasting bag, they don’t mind the price. Even it is expensive the
quality, design, and the fabric is high quality. We make sure that we reach the expected
satisfaction of the buyers.
Students are often aware that ordinary bag is not safe to use when traveling due to its lack
of security feature
The third major findings of the study is that students are often aware that ordinary bag
is not safe to use when traveling due to its lack of security feature. According to American
Automobile Association ( 2020) traveling can be a memorable and eye-opening in experience,
birthday experience can quickly take a bad turn if you're belongings are stolen along the way.
Using ordinary type of bag may lead the travelers to lost their personal bag, cash, expensive
gadgets and important papers can be stressful, scare and unsettling situation. However, travelers
can prevent theft during their travels by being a mindful and informed travelers and by securing
their belongings at all times. Therefore, travelers must research their destination ahead of time ,
purchase locks and secure their bags so that travelers can avoid being victim of theft.
39
Students are often aware that ordinary bag is not suitable to use when it is raining since it
is not waterproof
The fourth major findings of the study is that students are often aware that ordinary
bag is not suitable to use when it is raining since it is not waterproof. Another crucial thing that
concerns the capacity of the bag is that not every part of the backpack is waterproof, and
everyone should be careful what stuff they put and where they place them inside the bag.
Typically, additional pockets and compartments of the ordinary bag are not waterproofed.
Therefore, ordinary bag is not convenient and reliable to use during heavy rainy days because the
stuff inside the bag will go soaking wet. Ordinary bag will now allows everyone to bring some
sensitive stuff like laptop, mobile phone, tablet or any other kind of technology. According to
Taylor (2020), the durability of a bag is a big factor in every hike, their build should withstand
the unpredictable weather conditions in the journey.
Securing bag is the major solution to avoid being a victim of stealing
The fifth major findings of the study is that securing bag is the major solution to avoid
being a victim of stealing. It clearly shows that securing bag by its high quality and security
feature will protect one's personal belongings. According to Peek (2017) securing bag is to
protect your valuable things to a larger object such as bag to avoid stealing. In addition, The
quality of the bag plays huge role in protecting one's personal belongings. According to Sampson
(2019) regardless of what industry that the business in, customers are not going to choose the
product by just based on price, but mostly on the quality itself. Thus, In order to protect students
important papers and valuable stuff students must be more responsible in securing their bad.
40
Majority of the students have experienced being victim of thieves
The sixth major finding of the study is that majority of the Grade 12 Senior High
School students of STI College Cotabato have already experienced being victim of thieves. Upon
conducting the survey, the researchers found out that out of 267 respondents that belonged to the
Academic Track of ABM, GAS, HUMSS, STEM, and Technical Vocational Livelihood Track of
CUART, MAWD, AND TOPER, there are 205 students who already experienced being victim
of thieves and lost something valuable inside their bag. On the other hand, there are only 62
Senior High School students of STI College Cotabato have not yet experience being victim of
thieves. Therefore, students must be more conscious and more responsible in terms of their
personal belongings and also students should be aware on the importance of securing their bag
and on the the possible challenges they might encounter or experience if they use ordinary type
of bag, for them to avoid losing their personal belongings.
Majority of the students preferred to use backpack
The last major findings of the study is that majority of the Grade 12 Senior High
School students of STI College Cotabato preferred to use backpack than other type of bag. Upon
conducting the survey, the researchers found out that among the four (4) types of bag, majority
of the Grade 12 Senior High School students of STI College Cotabato chose backpack with the
total frequency of 179, followed by the sling bag with the total frequency of 75, followed by the
hand bag with the total frequency of 9, and least preferred type of bag was the string bag with the
total frequency of 4.
41
Limitation of the study
The researchers study only focused on the awareness of grade 12 Senior High School
Students of STI College Cotabato on ordinary bag. The researchers provided only and limited the
questions into two columns; securing ordinary bag and challenges on ordinary bag. In securing
ordinary bag, the researchers mentioned only six statements. While, in the challenges of ordinary
bag, the researchers mentioned only 5 statements and there are still more statements that are not
mentioned or covered in the study. The respondents of the study are the only grade 12 Senior
High School students of STI College Cotabato that belonged to the strand of STEM, HUMSS,
ABM, GAS, TOPER, CUART, and MAWD that are officially enrolled for the school year 2020-
2021.
Implication
Based on the result, knowing the purpose of securing bag and challenges of an ordinary
bag will help the grade 12 Senior High School students of STI College Cotabato to avoid being a
victim of stealing. Respondents of the study are often aware on the purpose of securing bag .
However, it is not enough to protect one's personal belongings specially when going to a place
that has a huge case of robbery and thievery. With the use of the researchers product, the anti
theft bag with fingerprint and GPS will help everyone to protect their personal belongings since
it is built-in different security feature.
