ABSTRACT:

This research paper employed a descriptive research design to create a socio-economic community profile of Brgy. Gupa, Dipaculao, Aurora that can be used in formulating suitable extension program for the community. Results showed some aspects that can be the center of future development programs in the community. The weaknesses found were educational attainment, lack of health facilities, use of illegal drugs, and underutilized coastal resources. It was suggested that extension programs must revolve around these key areas. It was also recommended to conduct further needs assessment that will look on aesthetic and cultural resources of the community.
