This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting motivation

towards entrepreneurial engagement among senior high school students at Dr.
Cecilio Putong National High School. The study used a descriptive-mixed method
of research design using quantitative and qualitative approaches. In the
quantitative approach, the survey questionnaire was adapted from the study of
Bin Jomah (2018) titled Students' Perceptions of Factors Influencing
Entrepreneurial Intention at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia and modified to
fit the study to determine the motivations of senior high school students towards
entrepreneurial engagement. In the qualitative approach, researcher-made
questions were used as guide in a semi-structured interview. There were 292
respondents in the quantitative approach, and there were 4 respondents in the
qualitative approach who were all senior high school students. The results of the
study indicated that while considering pursuing entrepreneurial activities, senior
high school students are motivated by a variety of factors, including social
factors, personal perspectives, personal interests, and familial guidance. Further,
it was revealed that there is no relationship between demographic profile in terms
of sex and strand and motivation towards entrepreneurial engagement among
senior high school students in terms of personal, family, social, and academic
factors. The study concluded that motivation among senior high school students
is a complex phenomenon influenced by personal, family, academic, and social
factors. Thus, the researchers concluded that the senior high school students
had engaged in personal, family, social, and academic factors. Understanding
these factors can help educators and policymakers develop effective strategies
to enhance student motivation and promote educational success. (not more than

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

INTRODUCTION

Rationale

Bohol, is a captivating Philippine province, is renowned for its natural

beauty and vibrant cultural heritage. Tagbilaran City, its bustling capital, serves as

the gateway to this enchanting destination. While Bohol's natural wonders draw

tourists from around the globe, its rich tapestry of festivals plays a crucial role in

enhancing the overall tourist experience. This study delves into the rationale

behind the significance of Bohol's festivals, specifically the Saulog Festival and

the Sandugo Festival, in attracting tourists to Tagbilaran City, exploring their

impact on visitor arrivals and their potential to further boost tourism in the region.

Festivals offer a unique opportunity to showcase a region's cultural identity,

traditions, and artistic expressions, attracting visitors seeking authentic

experiences beyond the typical tourist attractions. In the context of Tagbilaran

City, Bohol's festivals, particularly the Saulog Festival and the Sandugo Festival,

serve as powerful draws for tourists, contributing to increased visitor arrivals,

economic growth, cultural preservation, and destination image

enhancement.These festivals foster a sense of community engagement and unity

among locals and visitors alike, creating a welcoming atmosphere for tourists.

The Sandugo Festival was established to commemorate the historic blood

compact between Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
in 1565. This event symbolizes the first formal peace treaty between native

Filipinos and the Spaniards, marking the beginning of diplomatic relations and

cultural exchange. The festival's purpose is to promote historical awareness by

highlighting a significant part of Bohol’s history, preserving the province’s cultural

heritage through traditional performances. It fosters community pride, allowing

locals to reconnect with their heritage and strengthen community bonds.

Additionally, the festival serves to boost the local economy by attracting tourism

and providing business opportunities for local entrepreneurs and artisans.

The Saulog Festival, held annually in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, is a vibrant

celebration honoring St. Joseph the Worker and plays a significant role in

boosting tourism in the city. It's part of a vibrant festival calendar in Bohol,

alongside other popular events like the Sandugo Festival, which creates a year-

round attraction for tourists seeking unique cultural experiences.The festival,

along with other Bohol festivals, showcases the region's rich cultural heritage

through vibrant street dancing, colorful costumes, and traditional music, creating

a memorable experience for tourists and fostering a deeper appreciation for the

region's culture. This contributes to the positive image of Tagbilaran City and

Bohol as a vibrant and culturally rich destination, attracting tourists seeking

authentic experiences beyond the typical tourist attractions. In essence, the

Saulog Festival is a key player in Bohol's tourism strategy, working alongside

other festivals to attract tourists, promote the region's cultural heritage, and

contribute to economic growth. This festivals has a significant impact on tourism

in Bohol, attracting both local and international visitors eager to experience the
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
colorful parades, cultural events, and traditional performances. This influx of

tourists benefits the local economy through increased spending on

accommodations, food, and services. The festival also helps position Bohol as a

cultural destination, complementing its natural attractions such as the Chocolate

Hills and Panglao beaches. Moreover, the increased tourist presence promotes

cultural exchange, as visitors are exposed to authentic Boholano traditions, and

locals engage with diverse perspectives.

The goal of this study aims to analyze the impact of the Saulog Festival and

the Sandugo Festival on tourist arrivals in Tagbilaran City, identify key factors

contributing to their success in attracting tourists, evaluate the economic benefits

for the local community, and explore the potential of these festivals to further

enhance tourism in Bohol. By focusing on these specific festivals, this study aims

to provide a deeper understanding of how they contribute to the tourism

landscape of Tagbilaran City, ultimately helping local authorities, tourism

organizations, and businesses to develop strategies for maximizing their benefits

and enhancing the overall tourist experience in Bohol.

Review of Related Literature

The theory supporting this study shows connections with Bohol’s Festivals

on Tourist Arrival in Tagbilaran City.

According to PATA Sustainable Tourism Research (2015). This

document covers a broader study on the economic impacts of festivals and

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
events across regions. It discusses how the influx of visitors during festivals

boosts local businesses, provides additional employment opportunities, and

increases demand for hospitality services. These factors are relevant for

analyzing the economic impact of Tagbilaran City’s festivals.

Another study by Cayaban, Magbitang, Bartido, and Gaffud (2020). In

their study on the socio-economic, cultural, and environmental impact of the

Balamban Festival in Santiago City, the authors analyzed how festivals boost

local economies and promote cultural heritage. Though this study focuses on a

different region, the methodologies can be applied to Tagbilaran City, with similar

findings expected regarding the economic impact of festivals like the Sandugo

Festival.

As reported by (Brown 2019). The success of festivals in attracting

tourists. Is often linked to availability of adequate infastracture. The development

of transportation, accommodating the influx of visitors during festival

seasons.Imporved infastructure not only enhances the tourist experience but also

encourages repeat visits.

As stated in Gonzalez,( 2021). shows a direct correlation between

festivals and increased tourist arrivals. notes that cultural events can significantly

boost local economies through increased spending on accommodations, food,

and activities. In Tagbilaran, the influx of visitors during festivals often leads to

higher occupancy rates in hotels and increased business for local vendors.

Conforming to (Alvarez, 2022). Local communities play a vital role in the

success of these festivals. Community involvement fosters cultural pride and

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
ensures that the festivities authentically represent Boholano traditions. Moreover,

sustainable tourism practices are increasingly emphasized, as they help mitigate

the environmental impacts of increased tourist activities . Studies highlight that

integrating sustainability into festival planning can enhance long-term tourist

attraction and community welfare.

In the line with Ritchie and Hudson (2009). Research indicates that

cultural festivals can enhance a destination's appeal, providing unique

experiences that attract visitors. Festivals like the Sandugo Festival, which

celebrates the historical blood compact between Datu Sikatuna and Miguel

Lopez de Legazpi, play a crucial role in promoting local heritage. Scholars such

as emphasize that such events foster community identity and enhance visitor

engagement, thereby boosting tourism.

Additionally, this study by Acejo, Prado and Remolino, published in

December (2004). Examines the urbanization experience of Tagbilaran City,

taking into account the role of tourism in its economic and social growth. While

not directly focusing on festivals, it provides a broader context for understanding

the potential economic impact of festivals on the city. The study analyzes the

city's attempts to benefit from the influx of tourists as Bohol gains recognition as

a top tourist destination.

Furthermore, this study by Apostolakis and Douraki, December (2017).

Focuses on the economic impact of cultural festivals in a specific location. It

examines expenditure patterns of festival participants, providing insights into how

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
festivals can contribute to local economies. While not directly about Tagbilaran, it

offers a framework and methodology that could be applied to the city's festivals.

Theoretical Background

The following theories highlight the theoritical foundation of the Bohol’s

festivals on tourist arrival in Tagbilaran City. This include theory attraction:

Responding to

Tourism Development Theory Smith, M. (2010). Concept of cultural

capital can explain how local festivals enhance the attractiveness of a destination
through unique cultural experiences. This study related to Bohol's festivals and
their impact on tourist arrivals in Tagbilaran City because it highlights the role of
cultural events as key drivers of tourism growth and economic development. In
the context of Tagbilaran, festivals such as the Sandugo Festival provide unique
cultural experiences that attract a large number of tourists. Smith’s theory
explains how these events not only enhance the visibility and attractiveness of a
destination but also stimulate local economies through increased spending on
services like hotels, restaurants, and transportation. By drawing tourists to
Tagbilaran, Bohol's festivals contribute to the overall development of the tourism
sector in the city, aligning with the theory’s emphasis on how cultural tourism can
strengthen both tourism flows and local economies. This makes the theory
essential in understanding the relationship between festivals and the growth of
tourist arrivals in Tagbilaran City.

Cultural Capital Theory Bourdieu, P. (1984). "Distinction: A Social

Critique of the Judgement of Taste." Bourdieu's concept of cultural capital can
explain how local festivals enhance the attractiveness of a destination through
unique cultural experiences. This closely related to the study of Bohol's festivals
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
and their impact on tourist arrivals in Tagbilaran City because it explains how
local festivals contribute to the destination’s cultural value and attractiveness.
According to Bourdieu, cultural capital refers to the knowledge, traditions, and
cultural experiences that define a community's identity and appeal. Bohol’s
festivals, such as the Sandugo Festival, embody the region’s rich cultural
heritage, offering unique experiences that draw tourists seeking authentic and
meaningful cultural encounters. These festivals elevate the cultural status of
Tagbilaran City, making it more appealing as a tourism destination. As Bourdieu
suggests, this cultural capital not only distinguishes the city from other locations
but also enhances its ability to attract tourists who value cultural experiences,
directly contributing to increased tourist arrivals. This theory helps explain why
cultural festivals play a critical role in shaping the city's tourism dynamics.

Place Marketing Theory Kotler, P., Haider, D. H., & Rein, I. (1993).
Marketing Places: Attracting Investment, Industry, and Tourism to Cities, States,
and Nations. This source explains how festivals can be used as marketing tools
to attract tourists to specific locations. This directly related to the study of Bohol's
festivals and their impact on tourist arrivals in Tagbilaran City because it
emphasizes how festivals can serve as powerful marketing tools to attract
tourists. In this context, Bohol’s festivals, such as the Sandugo Festival, are more
than cultural celebrations; they are strategic events that promote Tagbilaran City
as a desirable tourism destination. According to the theory, festivals create a
unique image and identity for the location, making it stand out in the

Social Exchange Theory: Ap, J., & Crompton, J. L. (1998). Developing

and Testing a Tourism Impact Scale." This theory suggests that the perceived
benefits of festivals can influence tourists' decisions to visit a destination. This
directly related to the study of Bohol's festivals and their impact on tourist arrivals
in Tagbilaran City because it focuses on how the perceived benefits of attending
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
festivals influence tourists' decisions to visit. The theory posits that tourists
evaluate the costs and benefits of their experiences when choosing a destination.
In the case of Bohol’s festivals, such as the Sandugo Festival, visitors may
perceive significant cultural, entertainment, and social benefits from attending,
which enhances the appeal of.

Baloglu, S., & McCleary, K. W. (1999). A Model of Destination Image

Formation. This study highlights how festivals contribute to the overall image of a
destination, affecting tourist perceptions and arrivals. This closely related to the
study of Bohol's festivals and their impact on tourist arrivals in Tagbilaran City
because it explains how local festivals contribute to the destination’s cultural
value and attractiveness. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital refers to the
knowledge, traditions, and cultural experiences that define a community's identity
and appeal. Bohol’s festivals, such as the Sandugo Festival, embody the region’s
rich cultural heritage, offering unique experiences that draw tourists seeking
authentic and meaningful cultural encounters. These festivals elevate the cultural
status of Tagbilaran City, making it more appealing as a tourism destination. As
Bourdieu suggests, this cultural capital not only distinguishes the city from other
locations but also enhances its ability to attract tourists who value cultural
experiences, directly contributing to increased tourist arrivals. This theory helps
explain why cultural festivals play a critical role in shaping the city's tourism
dynamics.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary of the study as well as the findings in

consonance with the problem statement. As such, it made conclusions and

recommendations based on the interpretation of the data.

Summary of Findings

There was a total of 292 respondents in this study, and the majority of the

respondents were female. Most of the senior high school students were enrolled

in the HUMSS strand with 67 individuals, and the least number of respondents

were from the Food Processing strand with 4 individuals.

In terms of personal factors affecting motivation towards entrepreneurial

engagement, the result revealed that senior high school students were most

motivated by consideration of entrepreneurship as a highly desirable career

alternative. It was followed by an understanding of the potential benefits of

entrepreneurship, a feeling of freedom and being in control of own decisions, and

a firm intention to start own company someday. On the other hand, the least

motivating factor for the senior high school students was prior or current

entrepreneurial experience and activity…

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
Conclusion

As collectively shown in the summary of findings, the researchers derived

different conclusions about the factors affecting motivation towards

entrepreneurial engagement among senior high school students.

It can be concluded that the senior high school students, regardless of sex

and strand, were motivated by personal, family, social, and academic factors

towards entrepreneurial engagement. The respondents’ top motivation was

considering entrepreneurship as an alternative career and the benefits of

entrepreneurship. Furthermore, senior high school students realized that

entrepreneurship gives them a feeling of freedom and independence. On the

other hand, the families of senior high school students did not express their

desire for them to become the successors in their family-owned business. Also,

senior high school students did not have entrepreneurs around them.
