Abstract / Excerpt:

This study, "Level of knowledge and spirituality towards advocacy to the RH Bill", employed both qualitative and quantitative research design that assessed the level of knowledge on he RH Bill and the level of spirituality of the respondents from Purok Arroyo Estate, Barangay 74-A, Matina Aplaya, Davao City. It was conducted to determine if these two variables have any significant relationship on the respondents' advocacy to the RH Bill, in response to the growing issue on the said bill. The study involved 216 respondents selected through a purposive non-probability sampling. Male respondents were 18 years old and above, while female respondents were 15-49 years old. The survey, spanning two weeks, was conducted at each respondent's home in Purok Arroyo Estate. The survey questionnaire consists of three parts: the demographic profile of the respondent including age, educational background, religion, and advocacy to RH Bill; a self-made level of spirituality were computed by summing up these points, and then acquiring the mean of the scores of the respondents. Results are analyzed using the Pearson-r correlation, with a level of significance of 0.05. The findings of the study proved that there is no significant relationship between the level of knowledge and the level of spirituality towards advocacy to the RH Bill. Thus, the researchers recommend a deeper involvement in social issues, specifically the discussion on the RH Bill, in order to come to an informed decision.
