TABLE OF CONTENTS
Introduction
The amount of wealth and resources that a nation has to offer affects the budgeting process
greatly. The most prevalent budgeting technique is revenue budgeting when the country is
underdeveloped, but the environmental conditions are predictable and consistent. The budgeting
process involves repetitive budgeting when money, or a country that is impoverished and has an
uncertain environment, is lacking. As a result of shifting circumstances, scarce resources, and poorly
thought-out tactics, repetitive budgeting is a prevalent problem in developing nations. (Management
study guide, 2022).
Only during the budget preparation phase, which is close to the end of the fiscal year, does the
management team's focus turn to strategy. There is no formal obligation to revisit strategy for the
remaining months of the year. With no framework in place to properly analyze the situation and make
changes, a company will be at a disadvantage to its nimbler competitors if a fundamental shift in the
market occurs soon after a budget has been prepared. (Accounting tools, 2022)
In the Philippines, using the capital budgeting approach, the various government agencies
would compile and submit their individual comprehensive budget estimates that rank programs,
projects, and activities. The agencies then defend their proposed budgets in front of the DBM
technical panels during budget hearings. The proposed budget is examined and approved by the
President and the Cabinet following the submission of proposed expenditure programs by the relevant
agencies and the subsequent approval by the DBCC. The President then sends Congress the proposed
budget. ( Rappler, 2022)
To assist the implementation of numerous programs and initiatives that best advance the
development of the nation, it gives the government the ability to plan and manage its financial
resources. The Sangguniang Panlungsod's second reading was presided over by Vice Mayor Philip
Castillo, while the discussion on the LGU Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2022 was heard by the
chairperson of the Committee on Appropriations under Councilor Anacleto Alcala III. This comes
after each department head thoroughly discussed and defended their separate budgets, especially
those related to their staff, overhead expenditures, and other office-related charges. (Bandilyo.ph,
2021) The appropriations committee and the relevant House subcommittees hold budget hearings for
each department or agency to examine the specifics of the proposed programs and projects. The
General Appropriations Bill that the House body passed incorporates the revisions made by the
House. (Rappler, 2022)
The various ways to cut costs or save money. Make a budget; it will enable you to plan for
expenses and prevent wasteful spending. Establishing goals can help you plan ahead for the things
you're saving for, which is a crucial component of a savings strategy. Some seniors in high school
might desire to put money aside. They will gain from it not only by being able to meet their needs
while attending school, but also by becoming better equipped to manage their money. A budget can
give you a sense of financial control and make it simpler for you to save money for your objectives.
Keep track of your spending. Keeping track of and categorizing your outgoing costs will help you
figure out where you are spending the most money and where you could have the most room for
savings. Make a list of your short- and long-term financial goals before you begin sorting through the
data you have gathered. Regularly review your budget. Once your budget is established, it's crucial to
regularly check it and you're spending it to make sure you remain on track.
This study aims to identify the budgeting for senior high school students of STI College
Lucena.
The main purpose of the study is to come up with the information regarding to different
budgeting styles and how budgeting styles assist the expenses of the students, this study contemplates
the personal information of the students name, age, gender, and strand.
The researchers limited the study to randomly selected students enrolled in the second
semester of school year 2022-2023 of STI College Lucena. Each of the respondents was given a
questionnaire to answer. The students selected came from different strands to prevent bias and get
objective perceptions.

Definition of Terms
To better understand the terms used throughout the study, this part of the research paper
presents the definition of the following terms:
Budget Styles. It is a way of saving money and identify if the money of the respondents will
be enough for the future expenses
Style. It is a different way, technique or methods that is used by the respondents to perform
budgeting.
Senior High School/SHS students. This refers to senior high school students enrolled in the
first grade of senior high school at STI College Lucena who will be the respondents of the study.
Grade 11 Senior High School 6
Theoretical Framework
In order to prove that the researcher's study “Ubos Ubos Biyaya Mamaya Nakatunganga:
Budgeting styles of SHS student at STI College Lucena” is feasible, the researchers provided an
existing theory that correlates with the given study.
According to Motivational Theory developed by Kay Hofstede in 1967, indicates that senior
highschool students need to be motivated in order to save or budget their allowances. The idea also stated that
in order to drive yourself to stick to your budgeting plan, you must have a specific objective before you start
saving. Claims that the budget planner adopts a wider perspective during the entire budget planning
process as opposed to the costing phase. Each stage of a project requires specific resources, such as
labor availability or funding sources, which must be identified. A budget planner also examines the
cost components for various project components and determines how they connect to one another.
This can aid in locating potential redundancies and bottlenecks.
Grade 11 Senior High School 7
Motivational Theory
( Kay Hofstede,1967)
Specific Ojectives
(Kay Hofstede,
Funding Sources 1967) Costing Phase
(David Carnis, 2017) (David Carnis, 2017)
Budget Planning
Process
(David Carnis,
2017)
Relating to the study, this theory proves that students need to be aware and motivated on doing
budgeting plan and how these strategies could assist financial expenses, this is also implies to the study that
we conducted, different budgeting strategies that can be use. When students have a budget plan or process,
they are often more motivated to try to achieve their goals. By setting clear and defined targets based on the
budget, students understand what is expected of them and can therefore feel more motivated.

According to Tri Artharini, Nungki Noor, Susanti Oktaviani, Cris Kuntadi (2022) Leadership
Styles, Communications, and Resources Affecting The Development of E-Budgeting In The Public
Sector. The use of e-budgeting, the leadership style, communication, and resources all have an impact
on how it is implemented in the public sector. Communication affects how well e-budgeting is
implemented, in a way that if it's not discussed properly there could be a possible chance of
misunderstanding, and resources have an impact as well, resources have a big impact in budgeting
such as it cannot perform a budgeting if there are no resources.
This statement is significant to the study since it presents how budgeting affects the
development of E-budgeting in the public sector.
This statement is significant to the study since it shows the impact of how budgeting is carried
out at the subnational level.
According to Rey Fernan Refozar (2019) The Financial Behavior of College Students in a Private
Academic Institution in the Philippines. The process of creating a budget is ongoing and involves
several distinct stages. Although most state and municipal governments stick to the standard of
twelve-month fiscal years, there are several that do not. The government saves money by avoiding the
additional expenses of holding annual meetings when biennial budgets are prepared for execution
over a two-year period. Budgeting at the subnational level is significantly impacted by the current
procedure, which has developed over time with a small history of budget formulation at the federal
level.
The statement above is significant to the present study since it entails the process and stages of
budgeting used by government.
According to Tamiki Hara (2019) Defeating a Political Dynasty: Local Progressive Politics
through People Power Volunteers for Reform and Bottom-up Budgeting Projects in Siquijor,
Philippines at the federal level, the Aquino administration was unable to provide positive
achievements during its tenure. However, numerous political movements and legislative changes that
came about with the administration led to a notable shift at the municipal level. The Liberal Party and
its allies, Akbayan, evaluate the circumstances that led to this transition by concentrating on the work
of People Power Volunteers for Reform, the effects of bottom-up budgeting initiatives, and the
mobilization of the national government's resources through interpersonal connections.
This statement is significant to the study since it presents the effects of budgeting in
government.
The statement above is significant to the present study since it entails the effectiveness of
budgeting.
According to Joseph Capuno, Ana Maria Ruiz Rivadeneira, Ivor Beazley, Akiko Maeda, Chris
James (2018) Health financing and budgeting practices for health in the Philippines. Recent years
have seen a significant rise in the amount of government money allocated for health thanks to
increasing levies on alcohol and cigarettes. If the extra money is used wisely, it has a significant
potential to increase access and health outcomes. A robust budgeting procedure for health is a crucial
prerequisite for efficient spending. At the national level, the Philippine government has implemented
a comprehensive set of public financial management reforms that apply to all sectors in terms of
budget preparation and planning.
The statement above is significant to the present study since it indicates the use of budgeting
in public.
According to Pia Daniella L Martinico, Demi Mariel M Pineda, Loriemay E Lamayan, Jofel
Jay G Macapas, Marvin B Lucero, Analyn Magalso (2019) Proper Budgeting of Selected Grade 12
ABM Students: Basis for proposed Guidelines in Handling Allowance. Money is a significant aspect
of everyone's life since everyone has at least once had the experience of seeing and holding it. People
depend on money to meet their basic requirements, such as food, water, and clothing. Given that they
are students, their allowances should be carefully budgeted and distributed according on how much
they get each day that they attend class, especially for those who receive allowances of at least 100
PHP. This was done to find out if the chosen Bestlink College of the Philippines grade 12 ABM
students knew how to handle their allowance properly and to assist them if they didn't. According to
Rachael Moralde, Ronnel Ubungen, Kenneth Armas (2018) Revisiting the Bottom-Up Budgeting
process in the Philippines: Issues, findings and recommendations. The Bottom-up Budgeting (BuB)
strategy was developed.
The statement above is significant to the present study since it indicates how budgeting affects
the grade 12 ABM students.

Philippines and South Korea have legislative mandates that are contributing to their efforts.
This statement is significant to the study since it indicates the gender budgeting efforts.
According to J. Myanmar Acad. (2020) Budgeting habits are important for every person. How
well they handle their own finances may be a good predictor of how effectively they would manage
the finances of their employer when employed. This research aims to examine the spending patterns
of first-year economics students at Yangon University. It also shows that students who have saved
money often use it to pay for additional school expenses. They set goals for themselves as well in
order to improve their motivation to save money.
The statement above is significant to the study since it illustrates how everyone manages their
finances.
According to Kanting Thobejane, Olawale Fatoki (2017) Budgeting and spending habits of
university students in South Africa, they conducted a study that examines the different spending
habits of university students at a South African university As a result Female students are more likely
to spend more than male students to have a budget.

This statement is significant to the study since it presents the process of budgeting in local.
According to John Lenard Arcangel (2019) Budgeting is a task that everyone must do to be
able to check and assess their spending and how they spend their money. The study discovered
students' spending patterns and budgeting habits. Students spend a large portion of their allowance on
various school costs, including their homework, projects, papers, activities, and handouts.
Additionally, they place a high focus on their travel costs to and from school and home.
This statement is significant to the study since it determines how they spend their money
According to Stephan Thomsen, Friederike von Haaren-Giebel (2016) Did tuition fees in
Germany constrain students’ budgets? New evidence from a natural experiment Researchers
examines the financial implications on students, although previous research has shown little impact
on enrolment. We took advantage of the natural experiment created by the imposition of fees to
determine causal effects.
According to Marilou P Pascual (2022) Low-Income Earners of Nueva Ecija: Their Budgeting
and Decision-Making before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic. In this study, low-income earners'
spending and decision-making patterns in Nueva Ecija, Philippines, were compared before and after
the COVID-19 outbreak. The findings indicated that the most important variables in determining
when and how much to spend were daily money and the costs of products and services.
This study evaluated the spending and decision-making habits of low-income earners, before
and after the COVID-19 outbreak.
According to, Aimee L Franklin, Carol Ebdon (2020) Participatory budgeting in the
Philippines. Participatory budgeting has been adopted and adapted by governments around the world,
but its impacts on individuals, groups, and society vary. This study uses the case of the Philippines to
explore the differences in impacts. Gains in individual education, representation of marginalized
groups, and government accountability were seen, but civil society and democratic legitimacy were
weaker. Additionally, According to A Szczepańska, M Zagroba, K Pietrzyk (2022) Participatory
budgeting as a method for improving public spaces in major polish cities. Local communities
participate in the allocation of public resources through civic budgeting. Public space-related budget
records from Polish cities were examined in this study. Results uncovered variety in urban
commitment and neighborhood needs, which can be utilized to foster rules for planning public spaces.
The statement above is significant to the study since it explains how budgeting has different
effects on people, communities, and society.
