A total of 104 farmers from the selected barangays answered the six-part survey questionnaire. Results revealed that most of the farmers were aware in terms of national policies, rules and standard and in terms of climate change concepts. Majority of the dragon fruit farmers (51%) were "aware" in terms of national policies and the remaining (49%) were "aware" in terms of climate change concepts. The study also revealed that the participants had a "knowledgeable" knowledge on general issues, related to climate change. Also, the farmers “practiced" all the climate change practices presented to them. Result shows that the farmers' demographic and socio-economic characteristics are partially related to their awareness on climate change. The study also revealed that the farmers' demographic and socio-economic characteristics are not statistically related to their attitude on climate change. Meanwhile, their demographic and socio-economic characteristics are not statistically related to their practices on climate change. The farmers knowledge and adaptation practices were found to be not related to their practices on climate change
