Abstract
The study focused on the relationship between the farmers' level of awareness
and their level of acceptance of the House Bill 4644 in terms of the contents, its possible
effects, and the advantages and disadvantages of the merging. The relationships among
their profile which includes age, gender, and educational attainment; and their levels of
awareness and acceptance were also explored. The study was a descriptive correlational
research with 131 farmer respondents chosen through purposive sampling method.
Majority of the respondents were male high school graduates who are in the age range of
40 to 50. The study found out that the respondents have low level of awareness and
acceptance of the House Bill 4644 in terms of its contents and its possible effects while
they have a slight awareness on the advantages and disadvantages of the merging. There
is no significant relationship between the respondents' profile and their level of
awareness, although their educational attainment is significantly related to their
awareness of the House Bill. Further, there is a significant relationship between their
educational attainment and their level of acceptance of the House Bill. However, their
age and gender are not significantly related to their level of acceptance. Interestingly,
their level of awareness and level of acceptance are significantly related.
