ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Mom and Dad, thank you for the never ending love, care and support. Thank you for giving me moral support and encouragement to help me get through with my studies, for believing in my strengths and abilities, for never giving up on me and for serving as an inspiration for me to grow stronger, bolder and to strive harder.
My younger brother, Antonio. Without you and your computer skills, I would constantly have a hard time with constantly fixing my laptop.
Thank you, Kuya Kevin Mark Rabida for helping me work on my thesis and my title. Without you, I would still be sitting in front of my laptop for hours not knowing where to start.
My best friends, Aina, Patricia, Kim, Claire, Danielle, Jobette and Viesca. I hope we become friends forever. You touched my life somehow in ways I never expected and I hope I touched yours too.
The Samaria Vavies and every single classmate I have, thank you for making my fourth year life incredibly amazing.
And last but not the least, to the One above. Thank you God because without You, I would be nothing.

To Lady Gaga’s “Little Monsters”, this one’s for you.
