ACKNOWLEDGMENT

First of all, I wish to utter my deepest gratitude to God for all the blessings in my life and for helping me make this possible. Without HIS help I would not have finished this thesis.

Furthermore, this study could have not been finished without the contributions and support of many concerned people:

To Rev. Fr. Leo Angelo Ignacio, when all was lost you were the one who helped me picked this topic, I thank you.

To my principal, Fr. Dr. Maxell Lowell C. Aranilla, who compelled and provided me the opportunity to do a thesis, I really have learned much from this experience.

To Rev. Fr. Emerico Sixto Juan B. Garcia, Monsignor Norberto Habos, and the other priest Formators of the Our Lady of Guadalupe Minor Seminary, for their words of wisdom and encouragement.
