Review of Related Literature
The study parent's occupation and students' self-esteem have been supported by the different articles and it serve as the basis of the study.
Occupation of parents affects students' performance in their academics (Omalde, Kassim, & Modupe, 2014: Odoh, Ugwuanyi, Odigbo & Chukwuani, 2017). But, parent's occupation has adverse impact of the academic motivation of learner's success. Students from parents with high occupation level performed poorly compared to those students from parents low and middle occupation level of parents (Walter, 2018). Parents have informal jobs who are mainly selfemployed with job without a guarantee to turnover cannot afford to spend a great deal of time on their children (Usaini&Abubukar, 2015). Highly educated parents with high or low occupation level had better outcomes compared to their peers whose parents had low educational and occupation level (Gulada, Chillon, Ruiz& Pavon, 2011). This study confirms parents effect on their children's glycemic control. It is found positive connection between educational and occupational levels of father and mother (Aigha, Majdi, Aljefri, Ali, Alagha, Elhamed&El-denwi, 2017). Family socio-economic status of parent's state the father's education, occupation and income affects childrens performance (Das & Sinha, 2017). Parents occupation identify the parent's ability to finance the academic performance also (Gabriel,  A positive impact of the occupation of parents on the financial capacity of the students and their family relationship was observed (Khan, Ayaz, Ghazi&Khan, 2017). To provide a proof those learners whose parents belong to highest occupation status may have a better degree than their counter parts whose parents belong to the lowest occupation status ( to recognize and support their children with their homework and aspire to a good career (Almatalka, 2014). Parents with better work and higher education tend to have a higher education level and performance to their children (Rabo, 2014). Parents occupation status and academic performance has a significant relationship, it is proved that higher income of parents can give better performance on students' performance (Memon, Joubish & Khurram, 2010). Students show delinquency when their parents are unable to meet their financial needs, because their parents lack of sufficient income and good jobs to give a high quality of education for their students (Ekpo&Ajake, 2013).
Self-esteem as a human personality has a connection with important human success, failures and frustration (Doodman, Zadeh &Changizi, 2017). Students will certainly enhance their self-esteem, because they will be proud to be associated to the opportunities for their growth (Ahmad, Zeb, Ullah & Ali, 2013). It can be concluded that self-esteem has greater beneficial impact on student's accomplishments (Priyadharshini & Relton, 2014). Two correlating factors supporting one another are self-esteem and academic achievement, there is no doubt that low self-esteem could have contributed to poor academic performance (Neoh, 2018). The connection between self-esteem and academic achievement is one that is considered a well-known fact (Arshad, Zaida & Mahmod, 2015). Several studies have shown an important connection between self-esteem and academic achievement among learners that self-esteem is a strong predictor of academic achievements for learners (Aluvijeh, Rajati, Limoee & Jalilian, 2018).
Students with a degree of self-esteem are more effective in finishing assignments and academic achievements and more resistant to life issues and problems (Alavijeh, Rahimi, Matin&Jalilian, 2018). Self-esteem is correlated with greater stress concentrations to the general populations and has more grade achievements (Alyami, ullah, & Jaffari, 2012). Various limitations affect the relationship of anxiety, performance and self-esteem among learners, such as their family background, including their parents financial and educational level ( Ntemsia, Triadafyllidou, Papageorgiou & Roussio, 2017). Family Socio-economic status does not affect students' selfesteem, implying that student's family socio-economic status was not related to self-esteem (Sang, 2015). Parents with distinct social and literacy circumstances seek to cultivate their child and use efficient ways to improve their self-esteem (Azizollah, 2013). The effect of self-esteem and support for the performance of learners has a favorable and less substantial, but self-esteem has a powerful and more important (Shahzad, Ahmed & Jaffari, 2012). Low self-esteem should be taken to the parents who came from low rate of educated families to insert effort to increase the selfesteem of students (Sahin, Barut& Ersanli, 2013). Male adolescents ranked significantly higher compared to the self-esteem of female adolescents and there were substantial differences between female and male academic achievement (Joshi & Srivastava, (2009). Self-esteem is a psychological component, but in other side there has a non-psychological causes that may obstruct the student's academic success. (Ogot, 2015).

Design
This research study used descriptive correlation to the variables to determine the relationship between parent's occupation and student's self-esteem.

Environment and Respondents
This study was conducted in a secondary public school in Mandaue City Division with a respondent of 245 students.

Instrument
This research study used rating scale questionnaire in gathering data and getting information from the respondents. The rating scale is a type of questionnaire that composed of two variables, first is for parent's occupation and the second is for student's self-esteem. The students need to put a check on the best answer. The first part is a group of works of the parent's; the choices are Blue Collar, Pink Collar, White Collar, Gold Collar, Grey Collar Red Collar, Black Collar and Open Collar. The second part is the self-esteem questions composed of 10 questions, and the choices are, 1-Never, 2-Rarely, 4-Sometimes, 4-Always.

Data Gathering
Letters were sent to the school principal for approval of the conduct of study and to the advisers in each section in the senior high school for the permission of conducting a research using the set of questionnaires to be distributed to their students. The researcher explains the objective and the purpose of the study. The respondents were given a maximum of 10 minutes to answer the questionnaire. After the respondents answered the questionnaire, the researcher collected the data. It served as the basis in the analysis, interpretation, conclusions, findings and also the recommendation of the study.

Statistical Treatment
The researcher used the weighted mean and ANOVA to treat the data gathered and to determine the correlation between the two variables especially parent's occupation and student's selfesteem. The  (2015) found that the base on the regression analysis parents occupation influence academic performance of students. Gualda, Chillon, Ruiz & Pavon (2011) indicated a fairly consistent positive association between work of parents and cognitive performance. The table 2 presents assessment of self-esteem have three highest weighted mean that was interpreted as Always and Sometimes. The highest has a weighted mean of 3.42 with indicator "I take positive attitude towards myself" describes as always while the rest are interpreted as sometimes. The overall weighted mean is 2.98, which is interpreted as "sometimes". This indicates that the data involve here is positively considerable for further statistical analysis about the level of self-esteem of students. Ahmed& Jaffari (2012) usually self-esteem refers to an overall positive self-assessment of person especially to the students Priyahrshin & Relton (2014) many students agreed that the impact of higher self-esteem on students have a higher rate on life. Shahzad and Sang (2015) self-esteem can help and improve the academic performance level of the students subsequently.  In these result, the null hypothesis is rejected because the p-value (.518) is greater than the alpha significance level of 0.05(p=0.518) <(α=0.05). So, it is concluded that student's self-esteem and parent's occupation are not significant to each other. Sang (2015) mentioned that socio-economic status including parents occupation and education are not significantly associated to each other. Further, Azizollah (2013) the result of the study indicate that the parents occupation is not a reliable predictor of the student's self-esteem. Outbir (2018) found a weak and negative correlation between socio-economic status, parental education and occupation towards the self-esteem of the students.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Parents who have a high status of occupation are expected that their students have high self-esteem and parents that have a low status of occupation tend that their students having a low self-esteem towards their academic performance. But based on the study, it is shown apparently that having high self-esteem of students are not connected of what occupation their parents have, students having a high self-esteem gives them an advantage in their daily lives; they can use it to pursue their dreams also . It was observed also that self-esteem of students is not depending on the occupation of their parents if their parents have a high status of occupation, it doesn't mean that self-esteem of students is also high, and vice-versa. The self-esteem of the students is based on their abilities, confidence and respect to their selves, but self-esteem has an important factor to the academic achievements of students, especially to the senior high school students.
Parents can assist their children on how they can maintain their self-esteem using their abilities in life and their different strengths can help to have a high self-esteem. Parents have nothing to worry about their work for whatever it is; it does not affect the self-esteem of their children.
