Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the need of Ebreo Village, Barangay Tres de Mayo, Digos City as basis for a community outreach program of UM Digos College. Using descriptive survey method with frequency counts and percentage, and the questionnaire of the Community Extension Service Office (CESO), it was found out that families encountered problems which were socio-economic in nature and that potable water sources, multi-purpose center, and other amenities were the basic facilities needed by the community. The study suggested that Barangay officials should address these problems and that a concrete outreach program with strategic plan of activities must be designed and implemented in answer to the need of Ebreo Village, the partner community of  UM Digos College.
