respondents. These figures reveal that as to household income, the residents have
enough to cover the cost of the education of their children. Filipinos in general

education and the development of the total well-being of the learners.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (2017, October) reported that in Davao
City, the labor force participation rate was 59.9 percent; employment rate was at
95.3 percent; unemployment rate was 4.7 percent and underemployment rate was
17.6. Although these figures cover the entire Davao City population, it goes to say
that these figures are also true to Toril, Mintal, and Calinan, the recommended site
for the establishment of BIS.
Putting up a private school in a nearby subdivision poses no problem with
regards roads and transportation. City planning specifically mandates the
establishment of accessible roads and transportation before subdivision developers
could get a permit to operate in an area. The three specified sites are the centers of
subdivision developments of Davao City.
On the other side, the establishment of BIS coincides with DepEd’s
implementation of looping or multi-year teaching from Kindergarten to Grade 3. In
looping, the kindergarten teacher handles and mentors a group of learners and
continues with them up to Grade 3. As learners reach Grade 4, another team of
teachers will continue the second loop to provide instructions to Grades 4, 5, and 6.
Although the project is still on its pilot stage, it is hoped that the classes under this
project will develop a family-like environment where teachers and learners have the
opportunity to build strong and meaningful relationship (Vaderrama, 2017).
In the BRAC education system particularly the Alternative Delivery Model
(ADM), they have the cohort model where the learners have the same teacher until
they finish grade 6. Some modifications could be in place like BRAC following the
looping or multi-year teaching from Kindergarten up to Grade 3 and another set of
teachers could be accommodated to continue Grade 4 to 6.
Financial projections to operate the school
This section presents the financial projections to operate BIS for one year. It
likewise presents the worst and best scenarios of its initial establishment.
Income financial (tuition fee) projection. Table 20 presents the financial
projection as to the income of the school for one school year. As presented in table
20, the minimum tuition fee was pegged at PhP1,000.00, but it likewise presented
other variables like PhP1,500.00, PhP2,000.00, PhP2,500.000 and PhP3,000.00
tuition fees. Assuming that there are only 15 learners per class multiplied by 2
