520 3 _aHappiness is now considered as a significant policy of objective targeting economic growth or unemployment. This concept belongs to a new field called Happiness Economics that pursues on finding out what makes a person happy. An example of this is the Gross National Happiness or GNH which is a replacement for GDP in Bhutan. This study identifies the factors affecting the actual and perceived happiness of the rice farmers with the use of the Bhutan?s Gross National Happiness Questionnaire and the self-perceived happiness level of the farmers. Results were then classified into four outcomes: 4-Deeply happy, 3-Moderately happy, 2-Narrowly happy and 1-Not yet happy. Gross Locality?s Happiness was also assessed which is adopted from Gross National Happiness Index. With the use of the Gross Locality?s Happiness, Brgy. Baluan is 88.09% happy, which means that the Barangay and its farmers are deeply happy. For the actual happiness, there are no farmers under the not yet happy category however 33 farmers are narrowly happy, 66 are moderately happy and 25 are deeply happy. The significant variables for actual happiness were age, household size, non-farm income, fertilizer use, pesticide use, farm income and educational attainment. For the perceived happiness, there are 6 not yet happy farmers, 41 are narrowly happy, 24 are moderately happy and 53 are deeply happy. The significant variables perceived happiness were farm work hours, yield. High school graduate, resiliency-wait, psychological well-being, education and living standards. This implies that policies related to the significant variables should be implemented in order to increase the actual and perceived happiness of the farmers.
