Abstract

Poverty cannot be easily eradicated. In the Philippines, poverty is rampant despite the government’s efforts to alleviate it. Eastern Visayas as one of the poorest regions in the Philippines faces drastic challenges in terms of poverty. One of the areas in Eastern Visayas, facing poverty alleviation challenges is Barangay 83-B, Cogon, San Jose, Tacloban City. This study aimed to investigate the socio-economic factors determining poverty among households. As identified in this study, highest educational attainment, primary occupation, monthly income, and employment status were the primary socioeconomic factors. The researchers used multiple regression analysis to predict poverty level in the area. This study identified some of the most appropriate interventions that address poverty concerns.
