“ANG PROBINSYANO”: IT’S RELEVANCE IN THE VALUES FORMATION AMONG

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM

Rationale

Nowadays, watching T.V. has a big impact in our life. It imparts and gives lessons that we

can use in our daily lives. It’s not only gives us leisure but also imparts lesson to the life of Filipino

people.

FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano which airs on ABS-CBN was inspired by Fernando Poe Jr (FPJ)

film that promotes social awareness issues, family and cultural values among the viewers. It has

received praises and won many awards for teaching viewers about the consequences of crimes and

imparting life lessons about family and patriotism. It is also considered as one of the most-watched

telenovelas in the Philippines according to Wikipedia, garnering the highest-rated pilot episodes

of all time with 41.6% in 2015, and also received the highest peak nationwide rating of 46.7% on

its 92nd episodes in 2016. The series is well received by the public due to its action sequences, life

lessons and crime prevention tips.

According to SlovakEdu, a website who conducted a survey research about probinsyano.

The researchers conducted a survey among 100 randomly selected respondents. The results

showed that the respondents regularly watch TV series during their leisure time. Most of the

respondents perceive PNP as one of the most corrupts agencies in the Philippines and that they are
involved in different criminal cases. Meanwhile, the TV series raised the respondents’ awareness

of the PNP and perceive the TV series as a significant tool in promoting Filipino values and

tradition. In addition, the results show that the TV series also helped the respondents rebuild their

trust towards PNP.

FPJ’s AngProbinsyano revolves around the life and struggle of Cardo while performing his

duty as a member of the Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group.

He has forced to pretend to his brother’s family and friends and be reunited with his grandmother,

whom he resented for surmising she deserted him. Challenges late followed in life, and he

promised to find the same who killed his brother “Ador”. While finding the justice for his brother

he tackled different crimes which he tries to solved and overcome.

imparting life lessons, prevention, awareness and positive traits and values among Filipinos.

The purposed of this research is to give awareness and prevention to the people, especially

to the youth on what to avoid about crime like drugs, cybersex, human trafficking and kidnapping.

cultural and spiritual values.

is the output.

Figure 1 illustrates the basic IPO model.

Figure 1 shows the research paradigm of the study. The input is composed of the following:

METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the different aspects of the methodology. These are the research design,

the sources of data, the instrumentation and data collection and the statistical tools for data

analysis.

Research Design

This study sought to determine the Relevance of Values Formation of “Ang Probinsyano”

among High School Students. In view of the research problem, the study adopted the descriptive

method of research.

Descriptive research, as defined by Calderon and Gonzales (2004), is considered as a

purposive process of gathering, analyzing, classifying, and tabulating data about prevailing

conditions, practices, beliefs, processes, trends and the cause and effect relationship and then

making adequate and accurate interpretation about such data. It is a method of describing the nature

of situation as it exists at the time of the study and a method of research based on the collection

and analysis of the data. Descriptive research focuses on gathering data from the respondents to

identify the characteristics of a specific group. In other words, it elicits answers as to what the

phenomenon is and how it works.

The main purpose of using the aforementioned research design as the research design was

to describe and explain the phenomenon and how it worked.

Sources of Data
 The sources of data in this study were grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of Bobonan National

High School, Pozorrubio, Pangasinan.

questionnaire was dry-run to the selected students of Bobonan National High School.

Clarifications from the respondents were also taken into consideration in the preparation of the

final draft of the questionnaire.

Statistical Tools for Data Analysis

The data collected were subjected to statistical computation to answer the different sub-

problems.

To answer the sub-problems Number 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 the Average Weighted Mean (AWM)

was used.

The formula is shown below:

AWM = Σ fW

Whereas:

AWM – Average Weighted Mean

 Σ fw - the sum of the products of the frequency of respondents answering

multiplied by the weight assigned to the variables”

N - Overall Sample

The criteria that used to interpret the collected data was followed by 5 points Likert

scale.
