ideals that make Malabon stand out among other places.
CONCLUSION: The students were grouped into 2 groups per barangay composed of
five members. This group will then be assigned to their respective barangay to conduct
the feasibility study and carry out the objectives discussed in the orientation.

LONGOS: A Housing Barangay

- Housing Development Project in Dagat-dagatan preferably for poor (monthly

amortization)
- According to Mr. Eugene Evanz C. Foz – the treasurer of the said barangay,
Longos is a residential area and not a suitable place for any industrial
corporations since that this barangay has no available lots needed in establishing
or building up big corporations such as factories and the likes.. He suggests that
its business ability is most likely Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s)
particularly the convenience stores, food stalls and groceries.
- For him, convenience stores point outs the immediate needs of the people since
that there are only few convenience stores in this barangay.
- In this case, he said it would be better to implement a local law wherein
employees hired in the said business/enterprise must be a bonafide resident of
longos malabon city so it could help fellow malabonians in terms of employments.
- He added that it is important to look for a better place in acquiring a location for
the business (can be through buying or rentals of the venue) before putting it up
and also to conduct survey for us to know the human/market needs.
- Having the sure buyers and suppliers nearby is advantageous in the part of the
business makers.
- Promotions and having the unique selling proposition is the key in order to gain
more income in the Food stall business.
