Cabansag the College Dean, Dr. Gemma V. Mamaril De Vera who showed us their willingness and sound advises for the accomplishment of all the requirements particularly in this course. Above all, we are indebted to the glory, honor and praise to the almighty God for giving us power and strong determination to overcome all trials and obstacles. Without God, we are nothing for what we are now. This work is wholeheartedly and lovingly dedicated. BENJIE M. BANAGA DANICA C.
