II. Research Problems The objective of the research is to provide pertinent and accurate answers to the following questions: How many pet owners have a native dog?What factors contribute to the discrimination against Aspins? Do dog owners prefer to have breed dogs instead of native ones (aspins)? Do dog owners behave differently when they see native dogs? III. Collection of DataThe researcher will employ a quantitative research method, utilizing Google Forms as the tool for data gathering. The primary sources of information will consist of 50 dog owners, selected as respondents. Before participation, each respondent will be requested to sign a consent form, demonstrating their willingness to engage in the study. Once consent is obtained, participants will receive a structured questionnaire designed to collect quantitative data. IV. INTERPRETATION OF DATAResults Analysis and DiscussionFindings on the survey conducted are presented here in tabular form. Results are analyzed and discussed, substantiated by pertinent related literature and studies. Pie ChartSop 1: How many pet owners have a native dog?As presented in the pie chart 11, with a percentage of 64. 5% of the respondents answered yes, while 35. 5% answer no. The data shows that most dog owners prefer to own a dog with pure breeds rather than native ones (Aspin).Sop 2: What factors contribute to the discrimination against Aspins? In pie chart 2, almost all of the respondents answer yes with a percentage of 96.2 % on the contrary, 4 % answer the question no. This means that respondents believe that education programs could raise awareness that would effectively reduce discrimination against aspins. Pie chart 3 illustrates 90.6% of respondents, that think stereotypes can be used to further discriminate against people in their community. Conversely, 9.4% of respondents selected "no," indicating that they don't think stereotypes play a role in the prejudice against aspins. As seen in pie chart 6, where 94.3 % of respondents cite the loyalty and intelligence that aspins possess above other breeds, positive traits are also a contributing factor, albeit in a positive way. However, a sizable portion rejects the advantages of aspins. According to Pie graph 7, data indicates that 67.9% of respondents think that economics can play a role in the discrimination against aspins, such as veterinary care, while 32.1% disagree. The data shows in pie chart 8, that 73.6 % believe that community can be a factor of discrimination by treating Filipino native dogs differently from pure breeds. Contradicting to this 26.4% of the respondents said there's no mistreatment of aspins from their community. In pie chart 9 most of the respondents with 96.2% support the idea of legal measures to prohibit discrimination against aspins while 4% disagree with the legal measures to protect aspins from discrimination. Pie chart 10 indicates that 88.7% of respondents think that Filipino native dogs' advantages are not well known, which fuels discrimination against them, while 11.7% disagree, saying that ignorance does not increase the number of cases of discrimination against native Filipino dogs. Sop 3: Do dog owners prefer to have breed dogs instead of native ones (aspins)?Pie chart 1 indicates the results of a survey asking people whether they believe dog owners generally prefer to breed dogs over native ones. 75.5% of respondents believe dog owners lean towards bred dogs. Only 24.5% held the opposing view, suggesting that the perception of breed dog preference is quite prevalent.Sop 4: Do dog owners behave differently when they see native dogs?As presented in pie graphs 5 & 8, eighty-one (81.1%) of respondents exhibit different behavior when encountering native dogs (Aspin), while eighteen percent (18.9%) do not. Additionally, seventy-three percent (73.6%) of respondents believe that dog owners in the community treat Aspins differently based on their native breed, while twenty-six percent (26.4%) disagree. The data reveals that the majority of participants agreed that when faced with native dogs, known as aspins, a significant portion of dog owners tend to demonstrate distinctive behavior.
