Amigo This study was conducted from December 2017 to February 2018 to five hundred thirteen(513) participants in the Municipality of Nasugbu, Batangas. This study aimed to determine the following: 1) determine the socio- demographic profile of the participants in terms of gender, educational attainment, housing characteristics, household size, years of being in fishing industry, income, extra income/other job and number of family members who are working; 2) assess the accessibility level of the social services provided for the participants; 3) evaluate fisher folks job satisfaction; 4) determine the relationship of the access to social services as it affects the poverty incidence that occurs in the lives of the selected fisher folks in Nasugbu, Batangas; and 5) solicit suggestions from the participants for the enhancement of social services rendered by the local government unit. The result of the study shows that the number of male fisher folks was greater than the number of female fisher folks; most of the participants finished elementary level; majority of the respondents have their own house; most of them were composed of four to six family members (4-6); and fisher folks were engaged mostly in fishing industry for about five and above years. According to the results of the survey the largest income of the participants was in the range of 1,501-3,000 pesos. Their source of extra income was mainly at being employed as construction workers and tricycle drivers, and the number of family members who were working was recorded to be at the range of one to two members. The accessibility to social services of selected fisherfolks in terms of educational aspect was at average level( mean=2.27); assistance, fund, trainings for fishing is at average level ( mean=2.67); livelihood training programs at average level ( mean=2.39); financial assistance from local government and NGO's at average level ( mean=2.57); subsidies during calamity at high level ( mean=3.01); health provision at high level ( mean=3.62) and mandatory benefits such as Pag-ibig, Philhealth and SSS falls at average level of accessibility ( mean=2.43); and have a standard interpretation of 0.842. Fisherfolks expressed a high level of satisfaction. They emphasized that they were happy to be in the fishing industry. Moreover, this study shows that the debt of participants who have less access to social services were mounting compared to those who have access specifically in educational aspect. Their accessibility supports them as they sent their children in school. Participants wanted a firm livelihood program so that they can provide their basic necessity in life when calamity and unexpected environmental shocks happened. Fisher folks were also yearning for complete set of fishing tools and materials. They also suggested the formation of fisher folks organization in their municipality.
