the government programs and if they were not satisfied, their reasons for saying so; and
(7) determine the effectiveness of HEALTH EDUCATION by the government regarding
tuberculosis. The study adopted the descriptive type of research using the survey
method. The respondents comprised the entire population of TB patients who have
registered for treatment by the government institutions in each barangay. A self-
structured questionnaire based on the objectives of the study was used as the research
instrument. The questionnaire was translated into the local dialect (Waray-Waray) and

comprehensible to the lay people. The survey was conducted on a house-to-house basis.
The questionnaire was answered by respondents who could read; for respondents who
cannot or find it difficult to read, the questions were read to them and their answers were
