As can be noted, the majority of the children want to see themselves asprofessionals in the future. A few, however, want to be like their parents whoare engaged in various occupations. This may indicate mat these children seetheir parents as good role models.

It is interesting to note the responses of some from Lucena who want to berich someday. This may be linked to their present deprivation due to poverty.On the other hand, there were three from the same area who are apparentlycontented with their present situation and want nothing more.

The data reveal that on the whole, the children view their own futurewith optimism. How to nurture their positive outlook in view of their presentconstraints remains the challenge.

Summary

The responses of the children reflect the nature and quality of experiencesthey have had with their own families. While the majority stated that theirparents are meeting their biopsychosocial needs adequately, several noted mattheir families do not always have time to do certain activities together. Also,family rules exist in most families. However, disciplining children appears toinvolve more corporal punishment than positive reinforcement measures.

IiIiiiiiiiii••i••i•

85

The majority, nevertheless, stated that they feel their parents' love andconcern for them. The data have also established mat parental love is equatedwith need provision and performance of parental roles and responsibilities:

While most of the respondents noted some positive changes in theirfamilies as a result of FES implementation, some concerns may need to befurther addressed. Among these are improving techniques for managing thebehavior of children, enriching husband-wife relationship, and developingappropriate support system to enable parents to carry out their parenting rolesmore effectively.

PES STATUS AND PROSPECTS

This study has documented the effects of the Parent Effectiveness Service(PES) on the participants and on their children. This summative section coversthe following items: a review of the Parent Effectiveness Service; themethodology; the research findings; and recommendations to enhance programeffectiveness.

A. Parent Effectiveness Service

Parent Effectiveness Service is the provision and expansion of knowledgeand skills of parents and others involved in child caring on: early childhooddevelopment; health care; behavior management; husband-wife relationships;and parenting rights and duties.

The overall objective of PES is to help parents and parent substitutesassume the major educational role in child rearing and development Thespecific objectives of PES are to enable parents and parent substitutes to:

1] understand their child's growth and development and becomeactively involved in their child's development;

2] acquire and apply appropriate knowledge and skills in behaviormanagement

3] acquire and apply knowledge on health care, i.e., immunization,breastfeeding, oral rehydration, growth monitoring, herbalmedicine, managing common childhood ailments, and preventionand early detection of childhood disabilities;

4] grow as individuals who know how to use community resourcesand how to develop better relationships;

5] become aware of their duties and rights of parents, as well as thoseof their children, and take on the parenting role with heightenedawareness and a sense of responsibility; and

87

^ 6] become aware of the importance of promoting child welfare and• show the awareness by participating in community activities for• this cause.

^ Parent Effectiveness Service is primarily for fathers and mothers,surrogate parents, and guardians of 0-6 year old children belonging to the low

•income group. Those belonging to the higher income group may join when theyrecognize and indicate their need to increase appropriate parenting knowledgeand skills.

JThere are five interventions which are being utilized by the Parent

• Effectiveness Service. These interventions include the Neighborhood Parent^ Effectiveness Assembly (NPEA), Day Care Service Parents' Group (DCSPG),

Home Training (HT), Pamilyang Pinoy sa Himapawid (PPH), and Training oftm Community Volunteers (TCV).

• B. Research Methodology

To measure the effects of PES interventions, a one-group ex post facto• research design was followed. This means mat the parents were asked to give

their responses to questions intended to measure the level of knowledge and^ skills gained as a result of PES sessions.

X _______________» OPES Parents' Knowledge & Skills

••

The survey was used to gamer data from the parents and others who• participated in the PES sessions. This was complemented by the use of the case

study method which focused on the process of implementation and detailed*m accounts of typical families who availed of this service.

Interview schedules, as well as guide questions, were formulated to

•gather data from 300 parents and their children, 22 implementors andvolunteers, and 21 community leaders from 10 barangays in three regions acrossthe country.

C Research Findings

The implementation of PES was caught in the transition period involvingthe devolution of social welfare services to the LGUs in 1993. Thus, thedocumentation and tracking of families could not be reconstructed easily fromthe field agencies responsible for monitoring and implementation. However, thePES workers and volunteers were very helpful in providing leads on sources ofdata (i.e., lists of participants).

II«i•

The profile of PES participants shows that parents are in their mid-30s.• Their income is low because they are employed and dependent on their income^ as service workers, fishermen, and transport workers. Most families have four

children who are mostly in school/ with at least and average of one child in the• 0-6 and 7-10 year old brackets.

The case findings have shown mat the implementation of PES by localgovernment units is apparently favorable. This is indicated by the assignment ofPES workers and volunteers to deliver the service. However, there are

•remarkable gaps in implementation and these are as follows: differences in theconduct of sessions; poor documentation and monitoring of families; lack oftraining materials; non-translation of materials into the local dialect; and lack of

• logistical support to maintain and sustain the activities.

• The case findings have also shown that community leaders are cognizantm of the value of PES sessions to the families and to their communities. Based on

their observations of families, PES has been very useful in enhancing family life« and has contributed to the development of barangays. More importantly, thecases have demonstrated that PES has improved the performance of parentalroles. Also, the children have experienced favorable changes in their family life.

• The survey results show that eight out of 10 parents availed of the ParentEffectiveness Assembly (NPEA) while two out of 10 availed of the Day CareParents' Group (DCSPG). Almost all of them are quite satisfied with theseinterventions. In assessing the level of knowledge and skills which the parentsacquired from PES, the following findings have been generated:

1. Early Childhood Development

Knowledge and skills on the four topics appeared to beadequate. However, there is an indication that about 1/10 of therespondents felt some inadequacies on the level of skills in thissubject area.

92

On the basis of the above rankings, it can be observed thatthere is a need to provide more inputs, particularly in the handlingof children and husband-wife relationship.

At least one child, usually the older child who could speakfor the siblings, was interviewed. According to them, their parentshad adequately provided for their basic needs except in meetingtheir dental requirements.

The responses provided by the children indicate that theyequate parental love with need provision and performance ofparental roles and responsibilities. There is also the frequentreference to roles played by the mothers in meeting the specificneed of their children. This further implies that the mother isregarded as the main actor in a child's biopsychosocialdevelopment

It is quite evident in almost all the needs identified matchildren recognize both tangible/intangible aspects of needprovision. There is simultaneous reference to their physical andpsychosocial requirements. Thus, the issue of balancing thequalitative and quantitative aspects of need provision must begiven emphasis.

iiIIllIl•l

93

The time spent for family members for certain activities maybe far from ideal. Given the socioeconomic conditions of therespondents' families, however, this may be understandable.Apparently/ the major reason for the inability to be together is thepriority given by the parents to meeting their basic needs.

The children's responses suggest that disciplining techniques employseveral corporal punishment measures. Also, some parents' quarrels appear tobe accompanied by verbal and physical abuse. Thus, areas which may need tobe looked into for future PE5 implementation may be the improvement oftechniques in managing the behavior of children and the strengthening ofhusband-wife relationship.

D. Contributory Factors

The factors which appear to have facilitated the implementation of PESare the following:

1. Linkage with the Local Government Unit It appears that thesupport of local government officials cannot be discounted. InLucena particularly, the service was effectively delivered becauseof the assistance made available by local officials.

• 2. Enthusiasm of Local Volunteers. The interest and commit-ment shown by volunteers in the different localities demonstrate

that spirited and civic-minded members of the community whobelieve in the value of the service can be tapped to promote thePES.

3. Support by the Barangay Leaders. In the three sampled areas,the help extended by the barangay officials indicates that they have

• positive experiences in the way the service has contributed to thepsychosocial development of family members.

]g 4. High Acceptance by Parents, Particularly Mothers. Parents gene-rally see the value of PES to family life. They know that, despite

•their financial difficulties, they are able to acquire addedknowledge and skills to increase their level of social adequacy.

•5. Presence of CIDSS Workers. The visibility and active involve-

ment of CIDSS workers in the barangay influenced the expansionand sustenance of the delivery of needed services, particularly in

• Misamis Occidental.

i

•™ On the other hand, the factors which are found to deter better

implementation of the service include the following:

1. Lack of Knowledge and Skills Among FES Workers. A number

I of PES workers in the areas do not have enough knowhow anddirect experience in the subject areas, since many of them are newin their jobs.

2. Lack of Manpower and Financial Resources. A number of PESimplementors complain of the lack of adequate personnel andmoney to fully support and sustain the program in every barangay.

3. Inadequacy and Non Translation of Training Materials. Theworkers complain of the lack of supplies needed for training. Theyalso complain mat some important materials are not translated intothe local dialect thus making them difficult to use for trainingpurposes.

4. Lack of Support by Husbands. Fathers are difficult to recruit andmobilize for training, primarily because they are busy or areengaged in livelihood activities to support their families.

5. Lack of Wholehearted Support by Other Agencies. It seems thatother operating agencies in the community are not quite familiarwith PES. Thus/ workers have difficulties coordinating with themto promote and sustain efforts related to PES activities.

E. Recommendations

In the light of these findings, the following are some recommendations:

1] There is a need to provide more knowledge and skills on husband-wife relationship and techniques in handling children. Thus, PEScoordinators and implementors should improve the delivery ofthese critical subject areas. More time for discussions and exercisesare needed by the participants.

2] There is some urgency on the part of the program planners to makethe training materials responsive to the users and trainees. Thesematerials should be in the local dialect The use of creative media,such as comiks and posters, needs to be encouraged.

iIIIIIIIII_ 7] As suggested by some parents, there is a need for PES to enable the• participants to avail of skills training and get capital assistance for

livelihood projects. This can respond to the expressed need of the

participants for improving their socioeconomic conditions.According to them/ they cannot fully participate in PES because ofthe pressing demand to meet their basic needs.

8] There is a demand for additional and continuing training for PESvolunteers so that they will be more capable in handling PES

• activities. More importantly, male trainees are needed toencourage husbands to participate in PES activities.

m 9] As expressed by the implementors and the volunteers, there is aneed to provide adequate financial support and incentives (i.e.,

•honoraria, food and transportation allowance) to workers andvolunteers, especially those with satisfactory and outstandingperformance. By doing this, PES can be implemented and

•j sustained in the different barangays.

95

3] There is a need to enhance the PES curriculum by including orintegrating the subjects of spirituality and caring for adolescentchildren, and giving more inputs on family planning and healthcare. The participants believe that these topics will add more valueto what PES has given them.

4] There is also a need to provide training for children, through theDay Care Service, on relevant PES subjects (i.e., rights, behaviorand discipline). Through this, the levelling of expectationsbetween parents and children can be achieved. Furthermore, thechildren can be helped on how to relate effectively with theirparents.

5] Related to the recommendations above is the imperative to providedifferent learning materials on PES to children. Through this, thechildren will be able to be constantly guided, especially if they arealso provided with a handbook or a manual.

6] There is a need to tap scholarship grants for children of PESparticipants. This will encourage parents to actively participate inPES activities that will promote family welfare. This will alsoenable the children to continue their schooling in public schools.

fti

i96

" 10] There is a need to establish linkages with other agencies operatingin the barangay for information dissemination, advocacy, and

• sourcing of funds to support and sustain PES. Also, mere is anurgency to undertake more community organizing activities to

^m enable the community to support this valuable service to families.

11] Lastly, there is a need to institutionalize PES at the local

•government unit level. PES should be regularly implemented inevery deserving barangay. Like the Day Care Service (DCS), anenabling law is needed to backstop this national undertaking.

** On the whole, the Parent Effectiveness Service has contributed to the^- development of knowledge and skills among parents on: health, parenting1 rights, early childhood development child discipline and husband-wife

relationship.

V Also, the children appear to have gained from their parent's exposure toPES, as indicated by more interaction among family members, less physical

•punishment, minimized quarrels of parents, and conscious provision of theirbiopsychosocial needs.

• The Parent Effectiveness Service needs to be continued and sustained sothat it can respond to the needs of the existing large number of poor families. By

— strengthening the family as a basic unit of society, PES can contributem substantially towards improving the quality of life of poor Filipino families.

Field Accounts on Difficulties in Data Collection

LUCENA

|| "Region TV and the main office of DSWD in Batasan failed tofurnish the RAs with list of PES participants, as requested earlier by

«g UPSARDFInc. The researchers decided to go to the local DSW office inJj Lucena City to personally coordinate and get the complete list from them.

However, as per coordination with Ms. Mila Villaflor, OSW PES

•Coordinator, it was found out that they do not also have a complete listand the reasons given were the following: a] their records weredamaged by termites; b] some of their records were lost during their

H transfer to their new office; and c] the lists of PES participants are stillwith the secretaries of the Urban Poor Associations.

| With the limited records on hand, the researchers discussed withthe PES coordinator about the sampling that will be done. It was learned« that PES actually started in 1993 with only 44 participants in Brgy.llayang lyam. In 1994, there were onhj 34 participants in Brgy. IbabangDupay. 1996 had the most number of participants with 200 from

iM Kanlutigan Mayao. Brgy. llayang lyam had a total of 57 participants* including that of 1993. With these data, the RAs decided to get^ Kanlungan Mayao and Ibabang lyam.

Tfie researchers also learned that in the implementation of PES,

the criteria for participants were not followed. Attendance was basedmainly on whether the participants were members of the Urban PoorAssociations. Some of the participants were childless, others had growtt-

•up children who were mosthj married, while others had very youngchildren or infants. The researchers had difficulty in sampling because anumber of those listed were not available: either they wen at work, in the

jtfj market, or attending to their children in school. Those available did notqualify because some did not have children or had children who were

* already grown up. Others had very young children - - 0 to 3 years old£ who could hardly talk. With this situation, the researchers decided to

ask the help of the president of the Association in identifying couples*m with children 6 years old and above who can be interviewed".

••

ILOILO

iIiIlilI•••V In Estancia, lloilo, there were two LGU workers in the DSWD

office. TJtey too, did not have a complete list of participants, so the same1M method/procedure was adopted".

I

"Ms. Nida Espaldon, a local government writ (LGU) worker, whoalso served as PES Coordinator, identified Barangay Boulevard in Molo,lloilo. When the researchers asked for a complete list of the PESparticipants from 1992 to 1996, she could not offer any, except for 1996which was the recent one. When the researchers questioned theunavailability of the records, she mentioned the following problems:a] the place was filled with so many termites that all of the files weredestroyed; b] the recent typhoon damaged the rest of the folders wherefiles were being kept; and c] others were lost when they moved out fromthe old place and transfer to the day care center molding.

The LGU worker offered to accompany the researchers to the houseof a PES volunteer whom she knew had a complete list of PESparticipants in Brgy. Boulevard. The researchers met the PES volunteer/midwife who was able to provide a complete list of participants from1992 to 1996. The researchers used random sampling as required by theevaluation. The names were listed according to the year of attendance.'Numbers were written on a piece of paper and drawn according to thepercentage of each year's number of attendees. But when the actualinterviews started, the following problems were encountered: somerespondents/participants were no longer residing in the place; some hadtransferred to a different barangay or migrated to a different region; someworked as domestic helpers in Malaysia/Singapore, and two had died.Thus, random sampling was not fully implemented.

III!IIIIIiIIIIIII•II

MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL

"Although it was the agreement to undertake random samplingmethod among the PES participants in a selected barangay according toyear, this could not be fully satisfied due to the following factors: I] thetotal number of PES participants in the identified barangays of the twomunicipalities ofPana-on and Sinacaban, Misamis Occidental did noteven reach sixty; 2] other parents with children below 6 years did notattend the PES sessions though they were identified during the survey. Tosatisfy the one hundred participants/respondents requirement, the fieldresearcher decided to get representative samples from the three barangayswhere PES sessions were conducted; 3] in Sinacaban, particularly inCalupan Alto, participants were categorized by year (1993, 1995, and1996): participants for 1995 and 1996 were served by the CWSS worker;in Paiui-on, a portion of the respondents likewise attended sessions underthe CWSS worker who conducted them in 1995 and 1996".
