Moreover, a literature-based and self-made research instrument, which undergo reliability test using Cronbach's Alpha was utilized. In addition, to come up with appropriate number of respondents, Yamane's Formula was applied resulting to a sample size of 500 respondents. Moreover, stratified sampling technique was used to properly distribute the respondents per province. Likewise, to analyze the data, this paper utilized the appropriate procedures, guidelines, and complied with the assumptions of the exploratory factor analysis using the principal component analysis.
