planned and essential extension programs must be extended to the community for economic
and community empowerment. The Cavite State University Trece Martires City would like to

needs analysis conducted last 2014 and on the results of consultation with the barangay
officials of Bgy. San Agustin, Trece Martires City, Cavite.
The population of Trece Martires City has shown tremendous increase of an average of
16.46% per annum. From 41,653 in year 2000, the city’s population has reached to 104,559
in year 2010. Migration of residents from Metro Manila particularly those who were relocated
has become the major reason of such increase.
Despite of the growing economy of the city, the proponent perceives some risks that need
to be addressed proactively, and opportunities to be strengthened.
Migration, particularly those relocated from Metro Manila, has become the major factor of
population increase in Trece Martires City. For instance, the situation in the city could be
worsened by limited job vacancies with the increasing population in the area. The extension
program aims to alleviate poverty situation of some households in the area, maximize
capacities and further boost income by equipping them to actively contribute to production and
labor markets by making use of available resources and accessible markets.
In addition, information technology plays a big role with this modern era. Much of what
st
people use in the 21 century such as communication devices, information storage devices,
linkages devices, was created with the help of information technology. Information
Technology has allowed business, even small-scale, to keep up with the supply and demand
of the consumers. The proposed extension program will provide Seminar-Workshop on the
basic promotional materials preparation. This seminar-workshop will be facilitated by the
Department of Computer Studies of the campus.

internationally agreed upon principles of human rights and equity. It is always the interest
particularly among women that gender equality is achieved.

condition. This extension program promotes empowerment, pursue equal opportunities and
ensure equal access to resources for women. This extension program hopes to address

Philippines that rests on a vision of development that is equitable, sustainable, free from
violence, respectful of human rights, supportive of self-determination and the actualization of
human potentials, and participatory and empowering of women. This is also in response with
