Conclusions

Researchers concluded the following:

1. We found out that students who got pregnant from the year

2007 -2010 have ages 22 and above. When it comes to their age

when they got pregnant, majority of the respondents were at the

age of 16-17. Students of NEC who were pregnant were on their

first year and second year of the college years , this implies

that during at their early ages, when they were just new as

college students, enters new responsibilities. In terms of

family monthly income, majority of the respondents have family

monthly income that can support their family and can send their

children at school even if it is a nursing course. In terms of

their religion, findings shows that majority of the respondents

are Roman Catholic .In terms of marital status findings shows

that majority of the respondents are single. Although they

 46

already have their child, they are still not yet married it also

shows how these respondents involved in premarital sex. Finding

shows that majority of them are having small number of family

member because most of them have few siblings. Researchers also

proved that majority of the respondents have the younger age of

parents.

2. Based on our interview to some old residents in Cabanatuan

City there were just few hotels in Cabanatuan City at the year

of 2005 to 2006 but during the year 2007, prevalence of hotels

including La Parilla Hotel, Cabanatuan Travel Lodge, El Greco

Hotel, Manrio Hotel, Abby Gail’s Inn,Cabanatuan Lux Lodge, Casa

Carmelita, De Luxe Restaurant and Hotel, Magic Court, Texas,

Village inn Hotel and Restaurant, Microtel Inn And Suites, Sogo,

sky ranch etc. was started to increase.

3. Based on the result of the study, respondents agreed that the

reason why there are many hotels in Cabanatuan city is because

of the fact that the economy is growing, lots of visitors or

travelers who needs a place to rest when they are here in the

province.

4. We conclude, that the prevalence of hotels can result to

employment and job opportunity for others and the traveler will

be having a place to stay which is convenient and low in price

and there is an alternative lodging area for them in case they

 47

did not want to go home or decided not to go home because of

distance of their home. On the other hand, the prevalence of

hotels in the province may result to misconception among

neighboring province , it may reflect the province as an area of

having too many prostitutes and encourages many college students

to take hotels as their safe haven or encourage pre-marital sex.

Recommendations

The following are the recommendations:

1. Local government should implement strict rules and

regulations on the guest of the hotels, implement the

strict compliance of the guest that will be admitted to the

hotels so that they may avoid early pregnancy

2. Parents should properly guide their children regarding the

relationship that they are going to enter so that avoidance on

the consequences may absorb.

3. College students should study first before going into

relationship and the possibility of taking hotels is neglected

4. If possible student should not be allowed to enter the

hotels without their parents.

 48

5. Proper information dissemination should be given to the

public about the advantages of hotel in the economy of the

province.

6. Extra services should not be given by hotel administrator

to avoid misconception about the hotel.

7. Educate partners who are not yet married specially those

students about the factors that may affect their morality and

their future.

8. Another study should be conducted on the prevalence of

hotels in Cabanatuan City so that determination of the effect

among the Morality of every individual may achieved.

 49

Implication of the Study to the Morality

for some factors that may affect their morality, so that upon
