Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the perceived benefits of the completion of Roma point bridge to the selected residents of Alabat island. It determined the profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, and address.The researcher used descriptive method of research. This study employed quota random sampling design. Under this procedure, the researcher considered using one hundred sixty (160) respondents from Alabat island and Lopez Quezon to get the 160% of the respondents. Majority of the respondents are male. This study found out that the average mean of 4.26 interpreted as Strongly agree indicated most of the respondents strongly agreed on the perceived benefits to the completion of Roma point bridge in terms of travel time. Likewise, the average mean of 4.55 interpreted as Strongly agree, indicated that most of the respondents strongly agreed on the perceived benefits to the completion of Roma point bridge in terms of economic activities. The average mean of 4.04 interpreted as Agree, indicated that most of respondents agreed on the perceived benefits to the completion of Roma point bridge in terms of lifestyle. The average mean of 3.43 interpreted as Agree, indicated that most of respondents agreed on the perceived benefits to the completion of Roma point bridge in terms of health. The average mean of 4.63 interpreted as Strongly agree, indicated that most of respondents strongly agreed on the perceived benefits to the completion of Roma point bridge in terms of tourism. Based from the results of Kruskal Wallis H-test the null hypothesis in terms of age and sex are accepted, which means that there is no significant difference on the perceived benefits of the completion of bridge to the selected residents of Alabat Island when respondents are grouped by age and sex. However the null hypothesis in terms of address is rejected which means that there is a significant difference on the perceived benefits of the completion of bridge to the residents of Alabat Island when respondents are grouped according to address. From the result of this study, the following were recommended; LGU Provincial may continue working on the monitoring and follow-up for the completion of the Roma point bridge for the benefits of the residents in Alabat Island and nearby towns, LGU Municipality may boost trade and investments, which in turn increase economic growth in local government units by improving access to transportation infrastructure, Community may help them to create job opportunities for local workers. Boosting the economy this will be able to travel and trade for transportation of goods and people over various obstacle, Travelers may travel and connect different towns can reduce travel time and for future researchers they may conduct parallel study using other variables not discussed in the present study using larger population for more viable results.
