ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First and foremost, the researchers offer their sincerest thanks to Almighty God for

His divine guidance to the researchers during those times when the researchers are about

to give up during the creation of this capstone project truly created an impact to the

researchers and made them go on and give their best.

The researchers would like to thank Ms. Jane Kristine Suarez (Capstone Project

Instructor) for her direction, assistance, and guidance. Ms. Jane’s recommendations and

suggestions have been invaluable for the researcher’s capstone project development and

self-improvement.

Thanks are also due to Mrs. Rosemarie M. Bautista (Capstone Project Adviser)

for tirelessly entertaining our questions and giving us sensible opinions regarding the

system and documentation.

Finally, words alone cannot express the thanks that researchers owe to the parents

of the researchers for their undying support, understanding, encouragement and

assistance especially those times when the researchers conduct overnight sessions to

finish this project paper and on the financial side.

Abstract

Information system is one of the most common systems every researcher

chooses to develop, mainly for its simplicity and its generic form and functionality.

Problems concerning data security would be the problems in the current state of

technology of the client. That is why the researchers decided to develop an

information system designed for the needs of the clientele, Marcelo H. Del Pilar

National High School Guidance Office. The researchers conceptualized on the design

and functionality of the system, like choosing an appropriate programming language

and database software. Diagrams such as database schema, ERD, DFD, context

diagram, and program flowchart were also created and implemented.

The system can record the students’ transaction with the Guidance Office in

terms of online counseling. The system was evaluated to see if it is good enough to be

implemented by the client. The evaluators consist of twelve people: five end users,

one capstone project instructor, one capstone project adviser, and five IT Experts. In

relation to that, the system was evaluated and got a total mean score of 4.48 which is

equivalent to a rating of Very Good.

After a series of system evaluations, the proponents concluded that the

proposed system concurs to the specific objectives pointed out in this capstone

project, recommending additional functionalities in the proposed system for future

researchers to work on.
