A self-structured survey questionnaire was constructed and underwent face validity and pilot testing using Cronbach Alpha.

Villa Escudero, a mere fifty-two miles or seventy-five minutes to the south of Manila, is surely the most unusual resort in the Philippines. Situated in the province of Quezon, immediately across the border which separates that province form the province of Laguna, Villa Escudero is not only a resort but also a working hacienda, a throw-back to bygone days and an absolute must for those smitten with nostalgia.

The hacienda is still run on feudal, albeit, benevolent lines. The tenants are supplied with seeds and fertilizers and turn over half their crop to the landlord who provides free schooling for their children and other such prerequisites. Law is enforced in that gambling and drinking are permitted only on birthdays and during fiestas but, – this being the Philippines that means nearly every day.
