THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Background of the study

One of the most alarming concerns today is the declining health of our
environment due to various reasons such as overpopulation, overconsumption, and
pollution. Nowadays people are creating new programs to battle this issue and one of
them is Waste Management. Waste management is one of the concerns that needs
attention for this can be the root of risk that might affect the community or worse, the
whole country. Many impacts can happen in terms of waste management that can be
decipher as either positive or negative depending on its effect. According to [ CITATION
Ben18 \l 1033 ] the Philippines is consist 42,000 barangays with an average of 2,500
Filipinos each consist of, in this data there are thousands of barangay that the
Government needs to keep in track to mandate a proper waste management that is why
there are barangay officials that are elected and are authorized to take in charge of the
betterment of the community they are assigned with, and waste management is one of
the components that they need to look and as much as possible improve if needed.
Stated by [ CITATION Yaz18 \l 1033 ] the Philippines has a terrible waste management,
given the idea most underprivileged urban communities lack the proper education in
terms of saving the earth just like the classic 3R’s- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, that should
be learned and passed on but the growth became stagnant. The Department of the
Interior and Local Government (DILG) one of the Government agency that is ensuring
the effective delivery of service towards citizens of the country, in this case, it is the
agency that mandates rules and regulation in terms of public safety and needs.
[ CITATION Chi18 \l 1033 ] stated that the DILG as part of the governing body ask the
barangay official to initiates the proper waste management in each of their respective
bodies, idea is that in order to properly regulate the waste management in the country
the DILG take in to consideration that since there are authorized people under each
barangay it will be better if each one will take into responsibility each of their designated

4|Page
duties. Now, the barangays with the responsibility vested upon them need to implement
plans to ensure that a solid waste management will be at place.

According to the Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological and Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000, the proper solid waste management should be conducted by
the barangay levels specifically the biodegradable, compostable and reusable wastes.
The law gave the notion that barangay officials should take note certain activities to
strengthen the knowledge of its people not only on waste disposal but also in recycling
and composting that will also be a big help in the whole concept of proper waste
management. In order to have a solid waste management a household can adopt;
proper implementation should first consider and strongly be emphasized. Given that
each barangay needs to have a plan to successfully the question that usually arises is if
the Barangay effectively implement the plan for waste management but the researchers
wanted to know the other side, given the plan does the residents or each household
inside the barangay properly follow the given or implemented plan the barangay outlays.
This research was purposively conducted to determine the awareness of Barangay
officials on the waste management plan they had implemented base on their own
analysis and observation. This study will significantly show the level of awareness the
designated authorities had on certain plans they had implemented, if it is effective or
not.

The researcher conducted this study for the purpose of knowing if waste
management became either effective or ineffective on Barangay San Isidro, Pasay City
base on the level of awareness the head of sanitation (Ryan)r of the barangay council
had on the certain plans or programs that they implement, to be able to determine at the
end of this paper if the awareness of those authorities who implement certain rules base
on how their people properly and orderly follows it affect the implementation and the
process of solidifying proper waste management.

Statement of the Problem

This study is conducted to determine the level of awareness Brgy. officials from
Brgy. San Isidro has on the Effects of Waste Management.

Moreover, the researchers aim to answer the following sub-problems:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

a. Barangay Position

2. What is the importance of Proper Waste Management in a Barangay?

3. Is/Are there any programs implemented by the Brgy. Officials that is in line
with Proper Waste Management?

4. Is/Are the program/s implemented being properly observed by the people

in the Barangay after it had been disseminated to the public?

5. What is the level of effectiveness of the programs conducted in the

Barangay?

6. Based from the findings, what may be proposed to address the results?

Significance of the Study

Waste Management is one of the most important plans that needs to be prioritized
for the safety and betterment of a community. The research focused on evaluating the
level of awareness of the Barangay officials to help determine the effectiveness of the
waste management plan being implemented. This study helped determine if the
awareness of the authorities is one of the factors that affects success of waste
management plan.
The result of this study could be beneficial to the following:

6|Page
 Barangay Official. It can help them to determine if the program and plan
they are implementing are effective or not thus giving them an assessment on
what has to be done or to be maintained.
Barangay Residents. Since the residents are considered the benefactors
of the program being implemented, this would give way to a better environment
and community in the long run.
To the future researchers. This study could be the basis of their own
questions or observations and would be their gateway to fill the gaps in this
study.

Scope and Limitations

This research would be conducted by novice researchers. The data gathering

procedure to be used is an Interview with questions relating to the topic. The
instruments to be used to record the raw data would be a voice recorder in the phone
and/or a camera. The participant of this research is limited to the Head of Sanitations of
Barangay San Isidro, Pasay City. The participant was chosen using the purposive
sampling technique. The research would only aim to answer the set of questions
provided in the Statement of the Problem. Conclusions and Interpretations would be
extracted only from the answers of the respondent. The research would only be
focusing on the current year.

Assumptions of the Study

The Assumptions for this study are that the barangay officials all contributed to
the implementation of waste management practices in the barangay thus giving them
awareness regarding the topic. Furthermore, assumptions in this study includes the
following:

 The study is anchored to the assumption that the respondents answer all the
questions honestly.

7|Page

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES AND STUDIES

In this chapter, the researchers present the related literature and studies both
local and foreign for a better understanding of the study.

FOREIGN LITERATURE
Waste Management Practices
In china they are practicing a managing waste electrical and electronic
equipment (E-WASTE). This research gathers information about E-waste management.
Recycling is not only associated of environment and health impacts but it can be supply
and recycling to a new products and safety of a remanufactured products. China's e
waste management reduce the improper recycling. Stated by Chi, X. and Reuter, M., A
(2011)

According to Rodic, L. and David, W. C. (2017) In this research 2 billion people are
currently lacking of solid waste management is an issue that linked to 12 out of the 17
UN sustainable Development goals. This research focuses on governance issues about
solid waste management. Solid waste management were iteratively subjected by a
large group of stakeholders. New services require behavioral change of the people,
citizens and municipal waste alike exchange of stakeholders.

According to Tocdo, J. (2009) They found up four cases studies at the barangay and six
case studies on development of final disposal facilities. On solid waste management

9|Page
they see that income represents the internal revenue allotment (contribution of the
national government to local governments’ sources of funds) on the other hand on case
studies of disposal facilities represents the sanitary landfills based on the net residual
value of LGU'S.

According to Aquino, A. P., Et al. In this study Human contributes the waste
management improper. And they want to practice the waste characterization proper and
segregation at source, proper collection and transfer, and they want to prevent by
practicing recycling all waste as mandated by law.

LOCAL LITERATURE

Hindrance in Proper Waste Management

According to Galarpe (2017), the waste generation of the Philippines from 2012
to 2016 increased. The growing economy, population growth and changing lifestyle
caused a high solid waste generation. Metropolitan cities in key Regions are mostly
affected by the high solid waste generation. Sanity landfill had decreased since some of
the landfill is slowly converted into dumpsite. The sanitation of the landfill is not
maintained causing it to become an open dumpsite. This is very alarming since the total
number of sanitary landfills is however lower as compared to open dumpsites. Waste
disposal sites affected the environment by contamination of water, soil, plants and
scavenging animals which can affect the health of the community surrounding the area
or people working on the area. Although open dumpsites have a high risk of having
diseases, community tends to continually settle with present options owing to perceived
economic dependence through employment and resources.

The Philippines generates and estimated 43,684 tons of garbage daily, including
4,609 tons of plastic waste, according to government data, and proper disposal facilities
are lacking for much of it (Samiento, 2018). Philippines failed in improving the waste
management that is signed into law 18 years ago. Trash had piled up on land, clogging
away coastlines, spilling into the sea and traveling around the globe. The government
claims that they have done all they can to remind the people to dispose their garbage
responsibly and get their garbage in order. Environmental advocates disagree to what

10 | P a g e
the government had said. They say that the government can do more like pressuring
multinational corporations to change their products.

“Saving the environment is most effective if all sectors of society work as a team”
DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu said at the 2018 Zero Waste Month celebration. The
country’s top waste-generating region Metro Manila produces nearly 8,300 tons of
waste per day or about three million tons of waste per year, said NSWMC.
Environmental pollution and illness are the effects of unsanitary conditions in solid
waste-littered areas (Teves, 2018).

According to Mawis (2019), the Philippines generates more waste as the

population increases. Garbage ending up on streets, sewages, canals and other
waterways are caused by the residents’ las of participation in promoting solid waste
management. Another cause is the general public’s limited awareness on waste
disposal and segregation. “One of the major problems we encounter until now is the
human and cultural behavior. We can’t clean the environment alone,” said Jayson
Umali.

FOREIGN STUDIES

Waste Management Plan by Authority

The proper implementation of a certain plan usually is in the hands of those

people who implement it base on the study conducted by (Hoornweg & Bhada-Tata,
2012) Solid waste management is the one thing just about every city government
provides for its residents. Waste management is already part of every plan that is
conducted on each country, it is in the hands of the government the stepping stone of
every project, just like in waste management. The study conducted by (Trondillo,
Amaba, Paniza, & Cubol, 2018) It is of great importance that all citizens must commit in
the implementation of environmental programs so as to be more effective. Commitment
of both parties are the building blocks of a successful waste management plan, given
that authorities are the one who implements it, it is still not possible to consider it
successful without the full cooperation of its citizen.

11 | P a g e
 According to the study conducted by (Unit, Urban Development Sector, 1999)
given that the responsible agency for solid waste are considered the Municipal
Government the magnitude of the problem is well beyond, means that even though the
resources is enough when there is a great numerator over it, they need help to properly
disseminate the idea and resources for a more effective implementation. In addition to
other levels of government, businesses and the general community need to be solid to
be more involved in waste management. The study that was conducted in England by
(Evison & Read, 2001) was conducted by identifying the loopholes and possible
omissions on the public awareness on some of the current waste reduction
promotion/publicity material, and the education and information policies provided by
Local Authorities, the study involved a contacting of the recycling officers and generated
a result of it is through analysis and awareness of the publicity campaigns and
authorities recycling practices to be able to identify the effectiveness of a waste
reduction promotion. Awareness of the implementing bodies made it possible to
determine the lapses a certain project or program has for the betterment of the already
implemented practices.

The strategy for solid waste management is failing, one of the reasons is it is
because the environmental management plan is not properly allocated into local
development plan because of weak resource mobilization this is due to fiscal
decentralization and lack of participatory approach to the decentralization process
(Okot-Okumu & Nyenje, 2011) this case states that because of the lack of proper task
dissemination from the national government to the local government this lack of proper
process usually causes the waste management strategy to fail.

LOCAL STUDIES

The Philippines had one of the worst cases of garbage disposal in south east
Asia as seen in areas before such as the Smokey mountain and Pasig River but the
issue regarding garbage had been long addressed by the government and now the
people are slowly shifting to a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Awareness of the Filipino Citizens

12 | P a g e
 A study conducted by Madrigal (2018) assessed the correlation between
students and employees in catholic schools with their awareness, attitude, and practices
in connection to the solid waste management in the Philippines. Results showed that
the respondents of the research have very high level of awareness and attitude when it
comes to solid waste management meaning they are well aware of the concept and has
a positive attitude towards it. On the other hand, differences in the results were later on
found once the respondents were grouped in different demographic profiles such as
gender, age, educational attainment, etc. It also stated the connection between attitude
and awareness when it comes to solid waste management. Since the results of the
attitude and awareness were significantly related to age and educational attainment,
they concluded how knowledge influences people’s attitude towards solid waste
management as a product of proper environmental education.

Influence of Government on Waste Management

When it comes to issues this massive, it is only right that the government should
be the first to act. As leaders of the country, they should implement laws that would then
be disseminated to smaller branches of the government. But without proper
communication and cooperation, plans, laws, projects, and even more would be
useless.

According to Ateinza, Proper waste management is in the hands of the

government that is why in her study, she analyses the law implemented regarding this
issue and how the government moves in accordance to the problem caused by
improper waste management. In presented issues such as on waste management
includes the implementation of the policies, the compliance of local governments, and
initiatives and activities promoting waste management and recycling. She later on
stated the many benefits of waste management and recycling as a way to eradicate
poverty in the country for recycling companies providing more job opportunities. Finally,
it states that proper waste management is possible if there would be good governance,
strong awareness campaigns, and replication of new and appropriate technologies
producing a proper waste management and maintainable recycling industry.

13 | P a g e
 A study conducted by Gador (2009) analyses the solid waste management
practices of Davao City wherein he found out that the top five waste being made in the
area were plastics, paper, food, kitchen waste, and metal in which five tons of garbage
is made weekly. He also stated how both industries and barangays manage the solid
waste management in the city including the sorting, dumping at dumpsites, composting,
selling, reuse and recycling as treatment for the garbage. In the end, barangays have
shown to be more efficient when it comes to waste management compared to
industries. But with that said, it simply dictates that different factors in the city such as
the technical, financial, organizational, and management all contribute to the solid waste
management in Davao City and in order to achieve proper waste management, the
whole lot must work accordingly with one another.

Another study by Corinthia & Tuscan (2006) focuses on government funds into
the solid waste management. In this research, it was stated how provinces in the
Philippines should have a more structurally sound solid waste management plan to
meet the goals of the nation. It recommends that they charge payment for waste
collection and disposal services and provided services that are customary to the
residents. Although, even with this, the local government fund would still not be enough
and may redirect 25% of development fund to it. Issues like this is hard to counteract
since sacrifices should be made in order to come up with the most efficient solution.
Even when a suggestion may sound effective, without enough resources, its still
improbable to happen.

Lastly, a study conducted by the Pagunsan and Shimada (2012) Evaluates the
efficiency of the Waste Management program in the Philippines. The researchers made
two approaches, the first one being relative efficiency evaluation to the implementation
of solid waste management within the Local Government Units. The second one uses
the Tobit Regression Analysis to analyze the results by correlating them with other
variables such as land area, waste disposal facilities, poverty, etc. In the end, LGUs
resulted to be inefficient when it comes to implementing solid waste management but it
doesn’t end there as the second test resulted to a positive correlation between local

14 | P a g e
governments and other variables as they seem there is a significant relationship. This
further proves that a community is a reflection of its officials.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Methods of Research

The researchers uses a descriptive qualitative method to determine the level of

awareness of the barangay officials of Brgy. San Isidro. The method used by the
researchers will describe the observation on the given population and locale base on
the gathered data. The method aims to deliver the facts without manipulation or
influence given, with a purpose of obtaining the information needed in this study to
describe the current status of the given problem. The researchers will use this method
to investigate and obtain the desires data needed.

Subjects of the Study

The type of sampling technique to be used by the researchers is purposive

sampling. According to Ashley Crossman (2019), purposive sampling is a non-
probability sampling technique where the respondents to be chosen are selected for a
specific purpose or for the purpose of the researcher. An individual is chosen as part of

17 | P a g e
a sample based on evidence the qualifies him/her as a respondent of the research. In
this study, the respondent would be the Head of Sanitations from Barangay San Isidro,
Pasay City as he would provide the data needed for answering the research questions.

Description of Research Instrument

The instrument to be used in this study is an Interview answered by the Head of

Sanitations of San Isidro, Pasay City. The interview consists of six open-ended
questions as follow:

1. What are your opinions regarding waste management to the barangay?

2. What are the waste management programs that was being implemented in
the Barangay?
3. Given the different programs, how important each one is?
4. As a Barangay official who implement rules to follow, what can you say about
your residents in terms of waste management?

5. Do you think that the program is successful? How can you say so?

6. What is the next step the Barangay usually does after disseminating to the
public the program about waste management?

Data Gathering Procedure

In order to get the result, the researchers, through a close connection, ensured a
meeting with the Head of Sanitation of Barangay San Isidro, asking a consent for
approval to conduct an interview that will be needed as to gather the data for this study.
Once approved, the interview was conducted, in this case the researchers can
thoroughly ask the questions through discussion and will help them gather more data
that will be significant in the interpretation and analysis that will be conducted afterward.
Once the data was gathered, the researchers transcribed the answers of the
respondent and made a summary, conclusion, and recommendation.

 CHAPTER 4

INTERPRETATION AND PRESENTATION OF DATA

This Chapter presents the interpretation of data gathered by the researchers.

Present information had been studied and analyzed the questions communicated within
the statement of the problem.

1. What is the profile of the respondent in terms of:

a. Barangay Position
-Barangay Kagawad and Head of Sanitation, Brgy. San Isidro, Pasay
City.
2. What are your opinions regarding waste management as seen in your
Barangay?
“Waste Management is very critical, every day we have waste so
the techniques and strategies should be effective. We have programs that
are meant for waste management. One program that came from the
national government is the clean-up drive where it is held every Saturday.
Our barangay officials are the one who is involved and leading the said
program. We are the ones who are sweeping the road and cleaning the
water wastes in the canals. It started last year. We then measure how
many garbage can be collected. At first, we collected kilos of garbage then
as the days pass, it decreased. We later on prepare a report that is
required by the DILG (department of local government).”
3. What is the importance of the said activities?
19 | P a g e
 “Since we are measuring the collection of waste, like what I said, when
we began, we collected kilos of garbage but as we go on, the number of
garbage decreases and since we are able to monitor that, the waste
collection of the barangay decreases over time”
4. Is/Are there any programs implemented by the Brgy. Officials that is in line
with Proper Waste Management?
- “Little by little the residences are able to follow it but of course it is hard.
There is an announcement about segregating trash within the household
and the segregation is being strictly implemented. In the barangay, a day
before the collection, we are already announcing it to the public. I created
a time table about the on-time announcement using public address on
what kind of waste will be collected on the following day. There is a weekly
collection, three times a day, in the morning, midday and early evening.
There are also signs posted in the corner of each street about the
schedule of waste collection. The collection schedule is also distributed
house to house by leaflets. It is not perfect, but It will go there little by little.
The garbage lessened when the program started, the only thing needed is
the discipline of the residences. In a household, we required them to have
2 waste bins for biodegradable and non - biodegradable. So, when it
comes to the collection it is not a hassle.”
5. As a Barangay official who implement rules to follow, what can you say about
your residents in terms of waste management?
- “I think somehow the programs became successful because of the people,
as I have stated, during Saturdays we have a clean-up drive, we started
with a number of wastes that we were able to collect, and now, the
changes are very obvious as it really lessened. Since here in Pasay, we
are very big in terms of population, so we are very lucky that there is a
daily collection of waste, and the only thing that is needed is discipline that
is why we require every household to provide two waste bins, for bio-
degradable and non-biodegradable, in that case they are able to
segregate their own garbage before the collector arrives the following
day.”

6. What is the next step the Barangay usually does after disseminating to the
public the program about waste management?
-“we report during the general assembly so that they can know the
effectivity and improvement of the program.”

20 | P a g e
 7. As a barangay official who implements rules to follow what can you say about
the residence's waste management?
“There is a big change after the cleanup drive started. Since there
is an ecological solid waste management council which includes school
representatives and representatives from business and religious sector,
the dissemination of information is wide and all can be informed. There is
a meeting twice every three months. In that meeting we conduct talks on
what are the things that need to be done, for example the R's, Reuse,
Reduce, Recycle, which I think very effective. There is a seminar also
conducted here, that we that teach self-irrigated planters using coke
bottles, so during that meeting I encouraged them to do it, actually it can
be used as a livelihood. Also, In the barangay the we take advantage of
the scavengers, those who looks through the garbage bags, and actually
they are very helpful in terms of waste management because they are the
ones who segregate the waste, like papers and plastics, and that is a big
help.”
8. What are the approach of the residences in the program?
“It has a positive effect and actually most of the people are following since
there is a law which means that there is a penalty. Law breakers are
blottered to teach them for the mistake and a way of disciplining them also,
considering there are many laws in terms of waste management. The slight
problem is the irresponsible dog ownership. The city is trying to consider a
dog impound where stray dogs are caught, the barangay on the other hand
will be giving away a letter to every household for them to be responsible in
terms of dog ownership and for them to be aware.”

 CHAPTER 5
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter contains the summary of the findings, the conclusion derived from
the findings and the researcher's recommendation, which are based on the findings and
the conclusions of the study.

This research attempted to determine Level of Awareness of Barangay Officials

of Brgy. San Isidro, Pasay City, Philippines on the Effects of Waste Management Plans
Implemented Plan. The researchers utilized purposive sampling method in this
particular study. And provided an interview and observation in getting the data that is
needed and intended for this study.

SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS

Waste management is a critical part of Barangay San Isidro, Pasay City as it is in

every barangay. The Barangay has a strategy on how to properly manage the waste.
There are numerous programs such as the clean-up drive where barangay officials are
the one leading in cleaning the streets and collecting garbage. A process afterward is

successful results on the programs, although one problem may be the
dissemination of information regarding such programs. To address this issue,
exploring other forms of media may be useful such as the use of social media to
spread the details regarding a program.
 While some members in the barangay are more participative than the others,
making the programs mandatory may ensure more partaking within the people
thus resulting more positively.
 Since the programs are anchored with the law implemented in the country, a
firmer execution of the rewards and penalties regarding this law would ensure
more compliance of the members in the barangay to the programs.
 The researchers recommend the barangay to provide at least two big trash bins
that will be placed on a specific landmark e.g. In front of the Barangay Hall. The
purpose of the said trash bins is for those residents who wish to bring out their
garbage earlier than the said collection, in that case those garbage will not be
hanging on the street waiting to be collected, they just need to throw it properly
on the said bins and it will be more organize system of waste disposal.
