The study aims to validate two things. The first one is to determine criterion validities of the Panukat ng Kabuuang pagkatao (PKP) using affect (BS) Bulato, (ABS), Bulato s Happiness Scale nand Memorial University of Newfoundlang Scale of Happiness (MUNSH). The second one is test whether such as income (educational attainment, hours of work , type of job, civil status, age, number children and religiosity correlate with PKP total scores. The subjects who participated in the study included 200 women working within the Metro Manila area. A purposive sampling method was employed using survey questionnaire. Findings revealed that PKP gathered significant correlations against ABS with .49837, Bulatao's Happiness Scale with .44846, and MUNSH with .55650 using the correlation matrix at critical level of 11668. Findings also revealed that variables of income and being married gathered positive significant correlations while religiosity (being non-religious) gathered a negative correlation with total PKP scores at a critical level of .12479. Implications of the results would mean that emotional well-being, happiness, and life satisfaction measure the same thing as that of subjective well-being. Furthermore, higher income, being married, and being religious are factors seen as determining higher PKP total scores.
