How Are Focus Groups in Manila Conducted?

Focus groups in Manila, Philippines, are usually comprised of 6 to 12 individuals with similar demographics (e.g., car buyers, diabetes patients, new mothers) who are brought together for a discussion on a “focused” topic. Such groups are always facilitated by a trained moderator who follows a guide to ensure that certain questions are asked about a product or service. The key to this qualitative technique is the open dialog and dynamic interaction among the participants.
