The main concern of this paper is to evaluate the community extension program of Negros
Oriental State University - Guihulngan City Campus conducted in Magsaysay, Guihulngan City,
Negros Oriental, Philippines. It sought to determine the profile of the extension beneficiaries in
terms of age, sex, and educational attainment, their perceived extension benefits, and evaluation
rating of the completed extension program. It further tests the significant relationship between
the beneficiaries’ evaluation rating of the extension program and their sex, civil status,
educational attainment, and their perceived extension benefits respectively. The descriptivecorrelational
method was used in this study with a total of 95 extension beneficiaries as
respondents. Findings reveal that most of the respondents are middle-aged adults, female, and
elementary grade level. Most of them claimed that they benefited from the extension program.
The over-all evaluation rating of the extension program is excellent. However, there is a need for
improvement on the following aspects: relevance and significance of the lesson, methods of
evaluation employed by the trainer, quality of training materials, sufficiency of course duration,
accessibility of training venue and timeliness of the service provided. Furthermore, the extension
recipients’ profile in terms of age, sex, and educational attainment, and their perceived extension
benefits are not factors in their evaluation ratings of the extension program.
