Deslate, Joyce F.
This study aimed to determine the level of work-life balance and work engagement of medical technologists in tertiary government hospitals in Iloilo. Specifically, this study aimed to describe the personal characteristics of medical technologists in terms of age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, length of service, income and job status; determine the medical technologists’ degree of work-life balance in terms of work-family conflict and family-work conflict; determine the level of work engagement of medical technologists in terms of vigor, dedication and absorption; determine if there is a significant relationship between the medical technologists’ personal characteristics and their degree of work-life balance; determine if there is a significant relationship between the medical technologists’ personal characteristics and their level of work engagement; and determine if there is a significant relationship between the medical technologists’ degree of work-life balance and their level of work engagement. This is a descriptive- correlational study that employed a one-shot survey design. The non-experimental design was used to describe the degree of work-life balance and level of work engagement of medical technologists in a public hospital in Iloilo city and to explain whether a relationship exists between these variables. The study revealed that majority of the respondents were female, most were single, big majority with no Masters degree, forty three point six (43.6%) percent were on permanent status and mostly earned three hundred thousand (300,000) pesos annually. Ninety percent of the medical technologists had fairly good balanced work and life and time spent for work was not a conflict with family responsibilities or interfere with home or family life. Big majority showed a high level of work engagement, thus often times to almost always they were bursting with energy at work, felt so strong, vigorous, and intensely challenging tasks made them feel happy. Civil status and job status showed significantly related with work life balance in terms of work – family conflicts, single medical technologists had fair to good work life balance while married ones showed fair work life balance, moreover the results showed that work life balance in terms of family – work conflicts had nothing to do with the personal characteristics of the respondents. There were no significant relationships between vigor and dedication to either the personal characteristics of the respondents. A high level of work engagement showed to those with bachelor’s degree holder while average level showed among those who started enrolling their Masters degree. The degree of family – work conflict was significantly related with work engagement while the degree of work- family conflict was not significantly related to work engagement. The level of work engagement in terms of vigor revealed a significant relationship with work life balance in terms of work – family conflict. Neither work – family conflict nor family- work conflict were significantly related with work engagement in terms of dedication. There was no enough evidence to reject the null hypotheses on the relationships between work engagement in terms of absorption and work life balance in terms of work- family conflict and family-work conflict.

The study was conducted in five government agencies which implemented the four-day work scheme to determine the following: effect of the four-day work scheme on the government’s electrical, water, and fuel and lubricant consumption; perceived effect of the four-day work scheme as experienced by the government employees’ in terms of their psychosocial condition, productivity and transportation and food expenses; variation in government employees’ perception on the four-day work scheme as to age, sex, civil status, education, position, length of service, and monthly income; perceived effect of the four-day work scheme as experienced by government clientele in terms of their accessibility and convenience; variation in government clientele’s perception on the four-day work scheme as to age, sex, civil status, education and employment status; perception of CPU Administration employees towards the four-day work scheme in terms of psychosocial condition, productivity, transportation and food expenses; and variation on CPU Administration employees perceptions on the four-day work scheme as to age, sex, civil status, education, position, length of service and monthly income.
The respondents of the study were government employees, government clientele and CPU Administration employees. The data were gathered using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS Software. Variations in psychosocial condition and productivity classified according to age, sex, civil status, education, position, length of service and monthly income were analyzed using the Z-test.
The results showed that the five agencies were able to reduce their electrical, water, and fuel/lubricant consumption by an average of 4.35, 25.33, and 12.91 percent, respectively. They were able to generate savings on their water utility by an average of 23.75 percent. The increase in the price of electricity and fuel resulted to an average of 2.85 percent and 32.62 percent deficit on electric and transportation utilities, respectively.
Any monetary savings derived from decreased utility consumption however, was just enough to cover for the price escalation in utility charges.
Government employees had a positive perception regarding their experiences in their psychosocial condition and productivity under the four-day work scheme. However, the employees revealed that the implementation of the new work scheme did not affect their transportation and snack/meal expenses and the opportunity to earn extra income.
In terms of variation in the perception of government employees regarding their experiences in their psychosocial and economic condition and productivity under the four-day work scheme, the following findings were found: the psychosocial and economic conditions particularly in coordinating marital and parental obligations and transportation expenditures of the government employees significantly vary according to age. Psychosocial conditions, productivity and economic activities particularly in spending quality time with family and love ones, scheduling of medical, dental and other appointments/errands, pursuing a hobby and adjusting sleeping time, decrease of tardiness counts, attainment of work targets and snack/meal expenses significantly vary according to sex. Economic activities specifically in terms of transportation expenditures significantly vary according to civil status. Psychosocial condition and productivity particularly in coordinating marital and parental obligations and decreased tardiness counts significantly vary according to position. Psychosocial condition particularly in coordinating marital and parental obligations, stressfulness, tiresomeness significantly vary according to length of service; and psychosocial condition and productivity particularly coordinating marital and parental obligations, and meeting of work targets
significantly vary according to monthly income.
Most government clientele were not available to transact business with the government agencies as early as 7:30 AM or after 5:30 PM. They find it inconvenient to transact business with government agencies implementing the four-day work scheme.
Convenience o f the clientele to transact business with government agencies that implements the four-day work scheme vary significantly according to employment status.
Age, sex, position and monthly income have nothing to do with the psychosocial, productivity and transportation and snack/meal expenses of the government employees.
Most of the respondents among the CPU employees group perceived that the implementation of the four-day work scheme will improve their psychosocial conditions.
Moreover, the CPU employees perceived that the implementation of the four-day work scheme will not affect their productivity level. Likewise CPU employees perceived that the implementation o f the four-day work scheme will not affect their personal expenditures and their opportunity to earn extra income In terms of the variation of the perception of CPU employees in the implementation of the four-day work scheme the following findings were found: economic perception particularly in earning extra income significantly vary according to sex; psychosocial perception particularly in terms of risk in commuting after the 6:30 PM off significantly vary according to civil status; psychosocial perceptions particularly in coordinating marital and parental obligations and tiresomeness significantly vary according to education; psychosocial perception specifically on tardiness counts significantly vary according to length of service.

Background and Rationale
Coffee is a simple yet organic part of the breakfast table. Either as home brewed, as instant coffee or as an expensive concoction sold in multinational coffee shops, it sure does entice the Filipino taste. These days, coffee drinking is being transformed from simply a way of life to one of a status symbol.
Behind every cup of coffee, however, lies a very tedious job of farming, harvesting, post-harvesting, processing, farm-to-market transporting, grading, cleaning, blending, roasting, grinding for roast and for ground coffee, processing into instant coffee, packing and distribution to wholesalers and retailers, and then finally to our breakfast table.
Coffee is one of the oldest crops produced here in the Philippines. The tree was first known before the year 1740 when it was first planted in Lipa, Batangas. Coffee production peaked in 1880 when the Philippines became the fourth largest exporter in the world.
In 1960, the Philippine government came up with a program aimed at improving the quality of coffee production. As a result, the Philippines further became popular as exporter of coffee, especially when production of major exporters like Brazil & Angola suffered due to extreme cold climate.
In 1980, a new variety called “Robusta” introduced. The variety has good quality and produces higher yield. But in 1990, the International “quota” for coffee was abolished and resulted to a very low price for coffee. As a result, a lot of farmers discontinued coffee production and shifted to other crops. There was also a sudden drop in production in 1990 when the crop was stricken by an epidemic called “Coffee Rust”.
The drink that keeps us Ilonggos awake has it’s own shaking up to do. Presently, the Philippine coffee industry is a slowly dying one. It has not been a profitable undertaking especially since the prices for coffee beans are down. In response, government created the Presidential Task Force on Coffee production in order to revive the sluggish coffee industry. The Department of Agriculture has recognized coffee as one of the “high value commercial crops” in the Gintong Ani Program. Moreover, Nestle’ Philippines is the major buyer of coffee produced under the Gintong Ani Program.
Objectives of the Project
The study sought to determine the feasibility of a Coffee Crop Enhancement and Processing Project in Lambunao Iloilo (CCEPP). The desire for this study has been very timely with the establishment of the National Task Force on Coffee Rehabilitation whose mandate includes revitalizing and rehabilitating 22,000 hectares of coffee farms, establishing and implementing standards of quality coffee production, milling and roasting to be used locally and for exports purposes. Aside from being a valuable material for the Municipality of Lambunao, this study is intended for use by the different players of the coffee industry and as reference material for other LGU’s, NGO’s and others who wish to work on a similar project.
Scope of the Project
This study covers the marketing, technical, financial, economic, environmental, logical framework and institutional aspect of the Coffee Enhancement Program. Basically, this study will show the feasibility of the project in the Municipality of Lambunao, Iloilo.
Study Approach
This study employed the use of secondary data, expert’s opinion, interview, survey, and needs assessment.
The team gathered information and insights from the Department of Agriculture on priority projects of the province. Secondary data on the coffee industry of the Municipality of Lambunao and other pertinent data.

Aquio, Alexander O.; Cabanas, Roqueta; Padernal, Nelson P.; Rio, Irving Domingo
The study will serve as an input material for government’s consideration or adoption as one of its priority projects for the poor. Specifically, this project pertaining to native chicken production is primarily directed to alleviate the standard of living of some of the economically deprived constituents in the countryside. The project has been thoroughly analyzed for its viability in consonance with the demands of the time.
This study may serve as reference to those who would be interested to know more about native chicken production. The study group also hopes that this meaningful material could provide substantial information to those who would be conceiving further studies related to native chicken production.
Objectives
1. To determine the economic benefits that could be derived from the project.
2. To determine the profitability of the project.
3. To explore ways for beneficiaries to market the continuous production of native chicken.
4. To determine the roles of various agencies involved in the project such as the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Philippines Coconut Authority(PCA), Department of Agriculture (DA), and Sto. Tomas Small Coconut Farmers and Farm Workers Cooperative.
5. To determine the viability of the project for possible funding support from government or private institutions.
Scope of the Study
The study was conducted at Brgy. Sto. Tomas, Barotac Viejo, Iloilo. Recipients of the project were the 30 farmer beneficiaries living in the area. In support of the government program to uplift the living conditions of the poor, such program was conceived for study.
In the study conducted by the group last August 2000, the major marketing outlet of project output would be the major markets and restaurants of Iloilo City and other avenues of sales would be greatly encouraged in order to continually increase the ability of various markets to absorb production.
Basically, the project is a low capital intensive which is expected to produce financial benefits that would augment the meager income of the beneficiaries through out project life onwards. To determine the financial and economic viability of the project, indicators such as NPV, BCR, IRR, Projected Income Statement, Estimated Cash Flow were used.
Moreover, proper waste disposal was observed in compliance to existing environmental laws and regulations in order to maintain environmental equilibrium.
