Eliza Margarita Enriquez-Magkasi The Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas and ITHM, Far Eastern University Manila, Philippines Dr. Rosalia T.

International Journal of Social Sciences and Entrepreneurship, 1 (9), 588-610. ABSTRACT This study was conducted in class AAA Philippine resorts based on the premise that customer satisfaction and loyalty has a significant relationship to service quality. A self-structured survey questionnaire was constructed and underwent face validity and pilot testing using Cronbach Alpha. Valid survey questionnaires were retrieved from 300 respondents who visited any of the class AAA resorts between 2012 and 2013. Interview with resort managers was conducted to gain additional information. The demographic profile of respondents was identified and customer satisfaction dimensions physical (α=.89), technological (α=.72), human resource (α=.94) and sales and marketing (α=.91) were examined in terms of its relationship to customer loyalty dimensions positive word-of-mouth (α=.87), first-in-mind (α=.87) and repurchase intention (α=.70). With the use of percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s r and ETA Coefficient, results were obtained. The results showed that majority of the respondents were female young professional with a monthly income of under P40,000.00 whose primary source of satisfaction is the physical dimension of the resort and will spread positive word-of-mouth.

  • Between Rhetoric and Reality: the Progress of Reforms Under the Benigno S. Aquino Administration
    Acknowledgement I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, first, to the Institute of Developing Economies-JETRO, for having given me six months from September, 2011 to review, reflect and record my findings on the concern of the study. IDE-JETRO has been a most ideal site for this endeavor and I express my thanks for Executive Vice President Toyojiro Maruya and the Director of the International Exchange and Training Department, Mr. Hiroshi Sato. At IDE, I had many opportunities to exchange views as well as pleasantries with my counterpart, Takeshi Kawanaka. I thank Dr. Kawanaka for the constant support throughout the duration of my fellowship. My stay in IDE has also been facilitated by the continuous assistance of the “dynamic duo” of Takao Tsuneishi and Kenji Murasaki. The level of responsiveness of these two, from the days when we were corresponding before my arrival in Japan to the last days of my stay in IDE, is beyond compare. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships with IDE Researchers, from Nobuhiro Aizawa who I met in another part of the world two in 2009, to Izumi Chibana, one of three people that I could talk to in Filipino, the other two being Takeshi and IDE Researcher, Velle Atienza. Maraming salamat sa inyo! I have also enjoyed the company of a number of other IDE researchers within or beyond the confines of the Institute—Khoo Boo Teik, Kaoru Murakami, Hiroshi Kuwamori, and Sanae Suzuki. I have been privilege to meet researchers from other disciplines or area studies, Masashi Nakamura, Kozo Kunimune, Tatsufumi Yamagata, Yasushi Hazama, Housan Darwisha, Shozo Sakata, Tomohiro Machikita, Kenmei Tsubota, Ryoichi Hisasue, Hitoshi Suzuki, Shinichi Shigetomi, and Tsuruyo Funatsu.

  • Relationale: Conversations with Culture Changers
    Asian Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities 3.1 (2013): 147–163 Relationale: Conversations with Culture Changers Manuel Quezon, III Interviewer: As I’ve said, the interview is about culture and arts and humanities. Culture in the presidency, the [attitude towards culture] of the [previous] presidency, and of this current presidency. Because you did work in museums before, you must be the best person [to ask]. Usec. Manolo: Yes, I’ve worked for two presidents. There’s a bit of a difference, of course. I’ve also, in both jobs, been exposed to [the govern- ment’s] cultural agencies as well. They have their issues, many remain the same and many change. So, yes, there is that contrast. I suppose the interesting thing is really the ability of any chief executive to have to really define the direction, not only [of] the government, but those working in the government. And even the eventual decision of what to concentrate on is profoundly influenced [by the president], but not necessarily by any sort of policy direction set by the president, or whoever the president may be. Simply—in many ways, there’s a lot that is done in government and this is picked up in media and by the population at large in a kind of osmosis. What the president feels interested in or not interested in gets magnified all across the government. I’ll give you concrete cases in point. In the case of GMA [former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo], for example, her approach was in many ways a very conscious restoration of the pre-Martial Law system.
