 ABSTRACT

Objective: Advancement in various fields often lead to better outcomes for the society. Fast
development of countries results to promising futures for its constituents. However, these
improvements are often affiliated with advantages as well as disadvantages. And one of these
incommodities is the further prevalence of trash. The researchers then have focused on the main
solution made, the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act. Thus, with careful considerations,
the researchers have conducted a study on obtaining the perceptions of people from barangay
Tinago. Methods: Through one – on – one interviews with a few residents; the researchers have
gathered data on how effective and implemented the ordinance was. For about 3 days, the
researchers had carefully chosen their respondents and have eagerly sought well – reliable
information for this study. Results: By analyzing the responses, the researchers acquired these
results: a) The management plan was implemented albeit not properly, b) There has been no
claims that everyone was well – informed with regards to the said ordinance, and c) The lack of
discipline and care of the residents towards the environment has shown some effects in
mismanagement of waste. Conclusions: Barangay Tinago has indeed a waste management
aligned to the city ordinance. However, there are still some things to be attended to in order to
address all the issues regarding waste management as per claimed by the residents.
Keywords: constituents, one – on – one interviews, solid waste management

 Introduction
Background of the Study
There is a huge threat to the environment when it comes to improper waste disposal. Due
to the rising population world – wide, the use for efficient yet instantly replaceable materials are
highly increasing. And some of these materials are, in fact, harmful to the environment; thus,
environmental issues arise. According to Thomson (2009), ―Trash‖ is a relative concept. The
definition of the term alters relying on the time and on the conditions. Garbage can be seen all
around the world, it is one of the major causes of global warming -temperature will constantly
rise and will heat up the world. With the fast pace of the technologies worldwide, production of
products that can withstand time are easier and one of this are plastics. Based from Chae and An
(2018), improper dumping of disused or abandoned plastic wastes leads to contamination of the
environment. And if not properly segregated and collected it will destroy the ecosystem.
Several countries are facing the same situation where waste management is considered as
their main problems. Philippines are one of the third world developing countries. Aquino, and
Festejo, et al., mentioned in their study that ―Many of the health problems experienced by
residents of the Philippines are traceable to poor sanitation‖. Most experience diarrhea caused
by the contaminated water that they use and drink. The government provided laws that will help
Filipinos to properly dispose their trash to minimize the number of people experiencing different
diseases. One example of it is the Republic Act (RA) 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000. Despite the various laws regarding the protection of environment and
waste management, these futile efforts seem to not work for the lack of discipline of Filipinos.
One of the fast – developing or growing cities here in the Philippines is the Naga City,
found in the Bicol Region. Known for being a chartered city, Naga‘s government practices their
own solid waste management plan. However, this is still lacking since some garbage still reaches
drainages, streams, and rivers, exposing risks to health and the environment.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to know the effectiveness of the implementation of a waste management
and its corresponding positive and negative effects. Here are the following questions that this
study would like to be answered:
1. How do the people in Barangay Tinago see the significance of education and awareness
with regards to proper solid waste disposal?

1
 This question aims to know whether how significant the role of these officials when it
comes to proper dissemination of information regarding solid waste disposal. It aims to
acknowledge the importance of the presence of authorities in the said topic.
2. How convenient does the neighborhood view the location of the segregation sites found
in Barangay Tinago?
This question aims to know if the location of the segregation sites is a factor that affects
the proper or improper waste disposal of the residents in Barangay Tinago. It aims to
know the relation between the location of these sites and the routine of waste disposal of
the people.
3. How do the residents see the need for the implementation of a waste management plan in
Barangay Tinago?
This question aims to know how the people in Barangay Tinago perceives the relevance
of the implementation of solid waste disposal in their everyday life. It aims to know, if
there is a significant change when the residents accomplish or fail to do the said task
asked of them.
4. How do the people consider the need of spreading information with regards to waste
disposal monthly?
This question aims to know if the residents need a constant reminder for this practice or
whether it is deeply rooted already in their daily routine. This query seeks to know if
keeping the residents up to date plays a major role in maintaining the implementation of
the ecological solid waste management plan of the Barangay.
Purpose of the Study
Garbage disposal is a major problem of a fast – growing city. Henceforth, the City of
Naga have regulated the proper collection and segregation of establishments, houses, and other
public and private institutions or places. Since there are a lot of barangays found in Naga, there is
a difference between the problems that arise for each community. The purpose of this study is to
identify and generalize the major problems in one of the barangays in Naga City; specifically,
Barangay Tinago.
The researchers aim to know how the residents of Tinago perceive waste disposal
management. With ecological waste as a global problem, improved plans and new solutions are
given by various researchers for a better environment. Various documentaries, articles, news and

2
other related literature tackles how wastes, especially plastics, can be dangerous when not
properly thrown or taken care of. Thus, the researchers will conduct a study to determine
whether the waste management plan of the City of Naga is properly implemented and
maintained.
Significance of the Study
The researchers also aim to know the difficulties of maintaining the proper waste disposal
of the city. Therefore, not only is this significant for those seeking knowledge but to the
community. This study is, henceforth, significant to the following:
The residents of Barangay Tinago of Naga City. Through conducting this study, the
researchers are exposed to the worldly problems the society is currently facing. All throughout
conducting this research, the researchers can understand and convey solutions to the residents of
Barangay Tinago that can be a great help to the community as well as to the participating
students. By actively participating in this activity, the researchers can contribute in any way
possible to improve waste management of Barangay Tinago. Not only that, but this is a
steppingstone for the persons involved, to be able to communicate properly to achieve the set
goal of the community.
The succeeding students who will take the Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics Track for Senior High School. With the study being published, the next batch of
grade 11 students can use this research study as a guide or reference for their own project. This
study will be a starting point or basis for the backbone of their research.
For the Filipino Discipline. As the study focuses on waste disposal, this will also reflect
the culture and traits of the people residing in Naga City. This study will act as a guide for those
knowledgeable to be able to find better solutions with regards to proper waste disposal and
plastic usage.
For the society. This study is significant to the society because it will act as an eye
opener for the people who neglects their responsibilities in terms of solid waste management.
Every citizen must follow the corresponding rules and regulations given by the government of
Naga for an organized waste disposal plan.
For the environment. It is significant for the environment, since, it promotes proper
waste disposal and other rules to follow when handling segregation and collection of garbage. It
also promotes the advocacy of recycling and reusing of materials such as plastics. The

3
researchers would like to emphasize their advocacy for the betterment of our environment for a
beautiful place to live in the future.
Definition of Key Terms
Contamination: This term was defined in the study as the process that can negatively
affect people due to improper waste management.
Ecological waste: This term was used in the study as the definition of waste products
that are frequently used by the residents on their daily lives that can cause major conflict on the
environment.
Improper Waste Disposal: This term was defined in the study as the negative way of
waste management/disposal of the residents in barangay Tinago.
Industrialization: This term was used in the study as the process of the improvement
and development of barangay Tinago in terms of standards compared to other barangays.
Recycling: This term was used in the research that means the behavior of the residents in
separating and reusing by-products to create a new material.
Residents: This term was used in the study representing the people living in the areas of
barangay Tinago.
Sanitation: This term in the study relates to the maintenance of the cleanliness and
hygiene in terms of water and waste disposal of the residents in a long period of time.
Sovereignty: This term was used in this study as the governing body that takes full
responsibility and power in the waste management of the barangay being studied without being
interfered by outside sources.
Threat: This term is defined in the study as a possible damage inflicted to those living in
the chosen barangay in the study
Trash: This term was defined in this study as the materials that are being disposed after
use and are considered as useless.
Waste Management: This term is used in the study as the act of systematic and proper
disposal of garbage in Barangay Tinago.
Scope and Limitations
This study only focuses on the main objective: identifying the major problems with
regards to Ecological Solid Waste Management and how it is perceived by the residents. The

4
study centers on determining the issues that Barangay Tinago faces when the implementation of
the Solid Waste Management Plan of Naga was put into action.
Through keen observation and thoroughly studying the waste management plan of the
city, the researchers can pinpoint exactly what is wrong and what is needed to be done in order to
address the problem. The students will be conducting a one on one interview with a few
unbiasedly selected families residing in Barangay Tinago to ensure a general but various
perspective regarding waste disposal. The target participants will be interviewed with the same
set of questions to distinguish the factors that affect proper and improper waste disposal. The
results will be dependent on how the participant views the pros and cons of the Solid Waste
Management Plan of the Barangay.
However, the study will only focus on information relevant to the general objective of the
researchers. Unnecessary information that will be transcribed from the interview are viewed as
nuisance information. Should there any be discrepancies within the answers of the participants
will be regarded as one answer. Furthermore, should any natural event occur that may affect the
conduction of the interview, the students will halt any activity as it might be harmful to both the
interviewer and interviewee.

 Review of Related Literature
The contents of this chapter focus on the gathered information by the researchers from
studies and literatures in relation to the main topic of this study. The written information in this
part provides a deeper understanding about the problems the researchers seek to know and
answer how the study is generally conducted and serves as a basis of factual evidence on how
and where this study will take place. This chapter introduces the discussions from various related
literatures about waste management and its issues towards environmental harm, issues about
local government waste plans, risk to human health, and issues regarding proper waste recycling
and reducing. More so, this chapter gives an in – depth information on various related studies. It
is discussed in this part how the environment and society are affected by the improper waste
management. Through the inability to cope with better garbage planning and system, the sense
of the stakeholders‘/residents‘ responsibilities towards the effects on environment, and the issue
with regards to the regulation of the laws put up by the government, environmental and socio –
economic crises arise. This chapter specifically delimited this study within the country of
Philippines, narrowed down to Tinago – a barangay in Naga City.
The content of this chapter generalizes the idea of the theoretical construct of this study.
Several theories that gives assumptions on how waste management is affected are stated here. It
is discussed in this chapter that the Waste Management Theory argues about how the
environment and health of humans are entirely affected when there is a proper implementation of
improvising wastes and laws to protect the environment. The researchers also focused on the
different issues that are very rampant in the society today which connects to the idea of the
theories stated in the study. Therefore, to study the different issues and arguments about between
the study and the theory, the researchers will be able to determine this through the areas where
wastes are produced increasingly and are practical and useful to the residents nearby.
Sections/Categories
The issues regarding solid waste generation remain a growing problem at global, regional
and local levels. With the fast progression made in terms of industrialization, urbanization and
population growth, the solid waste generated every day also advances. It is mentioned in the
article of Let‘s Do It World Organization — about 8 million tons of garbage is added to oceans
every year with 80% coming from mainland waste. Thus, the issue regarding waste and its
management becomes increasingly important and needs more serious attention.

6
 According to (Miller T. G., 2013), on page 468 from the book ―Introduction to
Environmental Science,‖ there are two ways to deal with the solid wastes people create. The first
approach is waste management. It refers to the high waste approach in which activities and
actions are required to monitor waste and decrease its environmental harm. It typically involves
combining wastes together (collection) and then handing it on from one part of the environment
to another (transportation) by means of burying, burning, or shipping them to another place. This
approach is usually practiced when dealing with e-waste. The second approach is called the
waste reduction. Waste reduction (prevention) is a low waste approach in which less material
and energy are practiced decreasing the amount of waste generation and pollution. It includes
some ways to stop the materials from ending up as waste before it reaches the recycling stage. In
addition to that, the author claims that the waste generated is viewed as potential resources that
can be reused, recycled or composed. Lastly, the author also emphasizes on the waste reduction
as based on the 4R‘s which are refuse, reuse, reduce and recycle, which can all contribute to
cutting down solid wastes. Despite these two approaches, there is no solution to the solid waste
problem. Still, according to the author, some scientists and economists think that 75-90% of the
estimated solid waste we produce can be eliminated by ―Integral Waste Management‖; a
combination of strategies both in waste management and waste reduction.
Stated by (Keller & Botin, 2012) in the book entitled ―Environmental Science (eight
edition)‖ on page 487-488 there are two types of waste: first is non-biodegradable waste that
takes a long time to decompose; and second is the biodegradable product that can cause lesser
harm to humankind. Even with the several negative effects of these products, humans consume
different kinds of products every day which are mostly non-biodegradable. People cannot go on
their day without using imperishable products, mostly plastics, that can cause contamination of
water and pollution in the environment, if not properly managed. On another note, human waste
is one of the abundant wastes being collected in several areas within the country. These wastes
are used as ―night soil‖ in ancient times. Some countries use human waste as a fertilizer on their
agriculture lands. However, this disposal method had caused several negative effects on human
health and the surroundings because of the presence of some bacteria. Those bacteria spread
infectious diseases through the crops that were planted on the agriculture fields where human
waste was used as fertilizers. The major problem of this process is that along with human wastes,
viruses and bacteria can cause major outbreak of diseases.

7
 In connection to the major problems regarding Waste Management, it is said in the book
that ―practices that are implemented by the government is ineffective due to the maintenance of
the dumps and the dumps that are illegally put up which can cause to various effects like spoiling
of scenic resources, polluted soil and water, and also becomes a threat to human health.‖ Local
governments of specific places consider outlawed dumping as the prominent issue of their
society. These behaviors of the stakeholders are always seen because it is inexpensive and quick
to do but they do not think of the possible effects on the environment. On the other hand, some
places already practice proper waste management because of education, awareness and
alternatives. It is also said that education should be prioritized in certain practicality based on the
practices that stakeholders are fond of doing. Education programs can be effective by promoting
certain movement that can help the environment and help the stakeholders' lives.
(Miller & Scott, 2015) stated on page 380 of the book entitled Environmental Science
(fourteenth edition), that ―Hazardous waste in United States are buried or dump in other country.
Where labor is cheap and environmental regulations are weak.‖ Philippines have experienced
this incident, wherein wastes from other country were dumped in the other places where health
and environment is being affected. Workers that are cleaning the waste are exposed to toxic
metals and harmful chemicals. Some wastes are dumped in water ways and burned in an open
field that exposes the people to highly toxic chemical that can cause complications to human‘s
immune system.
Recycling these wastes will not totally reduce the fast growth of the hazardous wastes
such as electronic waste. However, illegally sending such materials to other countries needs huge
amount of money. By manufacturing electronic products without toxic materials, it can be a
solution for easy recycling, remanufacturing and repairing since the reduction rate is low.
Recycling these materials is important, for it helps minimize the use of energy and matter
resources. If these solid and hazardous wastes are burned, it will contribute a lot to the
greenhouse gas emission and as well as water pollution. For society to have low rate of waste it
is better to require business corporations and individuals to recycle and reuse not just locally and
nationally but also globally.
To create the most applicable and effective waste management system in Barangay
Tinago, Naga City, several theories were chosen to support the claims of this study. The theories,
The Waste Management Theory, Waste Prevention: Theory and Practice, Theory of Production

8
with Waste and Recycling, Integrating Planning Theory and The Theory of environmentally
responsible behavior (ERB), will be of a great help to conducting this research with its different
notion. The Waste Management Theory‘s first notion is to avoid waste that affects human health
and the environment and instead, should be protected. Second, it aims to preserve resources on
Earth where people depend on. Third, to identify ways to lessen waste generation. Lastly, to
incorporate its priority of turning waste into non-waste. Moreover, the Waste Management
Theory can be connected to the theories which are Waste Prevention: Theory and Practice,
Theory of Production with Waste and Recycling and Integrating Planning Theory. The Waste
Prevention: Theory and Practice involves the exchange and the limitation of consuming of the
raw materials. While, the Theory of Production with Waste and Recycling, aims to develop
waste under solid residual management by preventing, recycling and disposing it. As to
Integrating Planning Theory, the theory will be used to develop new understandings related to
the research by identifying the ways for good practice of the waste management in Barangay
Tinago. Lastly, the Theory of environmentally responsible behavior is defined by (Hines,
Hungerford, & Tomera, 1986) as the fundamental goal of the discipline of environmental
education. By influencing values, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals in positive ways,
environmental education ultimately seeks to minimize negative environmental impacts (Hines,
Hungerford, & Tomera, 1986).
One of the aspects that affect our environmental equilibrium is the rise of waste
problems. Due to the incessant growth of population, the resulting solid waste is increasing as
well due to growing demand for necessities. In Asian developing countries, the hasty
urbanization and industrialization is the major contribution to solid waste generation (Miller &
Scott, 2015). According to this article, there are several factors that affect waste generation such
as poor organization and coordination, and inadequate financial support for solid waste
management.
Furthermore, according to Urban Solid Waste Management in Low-Income Countries of
Asia: How to Cope with the Garbage Crisis (Keller & Botin, 2012), proficiency and involvement
of the officials are rarely communicated to others. In lieu, many of these officers undergo the
same trial and error periods, repeating the mistakes done by them and others before. ―Research
institutions, NGOs, and International agencies are seen as very important actors for enhancing
and supporting the dissemination of "best practices" (Miller, Scott, & Spoolman, 2014).‖ In this

9
context, the effective participation of the authorities in implementing the solid waste
management act is seen as a crucial part for the success of the act. Innovations and
improvements are valuable aspects in counter – attacking these problems.
Another factor that affects waste management is the behavioral aspect of a person
towards the environment (Akintunde, 2017). The Model of Responsible Environmental Behavior
shows that the intention to act, personality, sense of personal responsibility and control, and lore
indicates whether a person would embrace a behavior or not. According to the book entitled
Solid waste management challenges for cities in developing countries (Abarca-Guerreo, 2012),
Negative behaviors concerning waste management can be seen in a lot of areas within some
developing countries where the citizens tend to use more nonbiodegradable products, especially
plastics, because of its convenience and availability more than biodegradable materials. People
most likely forget the correct way of throwing their trash. The public often insists about their
concern about the environment, but their actions contradicts to the values they uphold. This
behavior can be the effect of lack of awareness and education in implementing effective waste
management practices. The factor mentioned results to the lack of interest of people in
participating in reducing environmental problems like pollution and global warming. These
factors are then addressed by various solutions, and campaigns and advocacies on the protection
of the environment.
A prominent example of these solutions is the established solid waste management.
According to the study, Ecological Solid Waste Management Act: Environmental Protection
Through Proper Solid Waste Practice, RA 9003 (Aquino, 2013), or known as the Ecological
Solid Waste Management Act, was created in response to the emerging waste problems of the
country. The study states that mismanagement of waste has brought tremendous and hazardous
environmental effect.
Furthermore, it is stated in the study that ―it illustrates the potentials and benefits of
recycling not only in addressing waste management problems but also in alleviating poverty.‖
Therefore, assuming the objective of not only the salvation of environmental crisis but also the
socio – economic crisis. The framework of the act embodies waste characterization and
segregation, source reduction, collection and transport of solid waste, recycling, and composting.
Through these, the proper handling and reduction of waste is beneficial to those in the
marginalized sectors. They are given the opportunity of creating products to a sustainable

10
manufacturing from wastes. However, according to the study, Efficiency Evaluation of
Philippines Waste Management Sector: A Two Stage Approach (Pagunsan & Shimada, 2012),
inefficiency is not only reflected by mere mismanagement but of the performance of the
government officials tasked to tend to the waste management of their municipality.
In a similar sense to this study, the research study, Application of fuzzy DEMATEL to
develop a cause and effect model of municipal solid waste management in Metro Manila (Tseng
& Lin, 2008), aims to give emphasis on the subjective and qualitative evaluation of the solid
waste management. The DEMATEL is responsible for converting ―the relations between cause
and effect of criteria into a model but also can be used as a way to handle the inner dependences
within a set of criteria.‖ This type of evaluation is rendered an important part for the researchers
as it can help during the evaluation of the gathered data from the interview.
Theoretical/Conceptual Framework
This research study made use of the Waste Management Theory (WMT) (Eva Pongrácz,
2004). It was introduced to correlate environmental sciences and engineering designs. The
author, Eva Pongrácz, defined WMT as a unified body of knowledge about waste and waste
management. As stated, it is a unified body of knowledge because it is within the Paradigm of
Industrial Ecology where different theories about waste and waste management are included.
This theory is formulated to ensure that the human health and environment are protected from
harm caused by waste and to promote optimization of resources used in the application of waste
management. This state that waste generation will be prevented, if waste minimization and
resource optimization measures are applied. It is also a planned action to organize diverse
variables of waste management system. It is continuously developing based on the facts and
observation over time to update and obtain its purpose. It builds up a principle that is system-
oriented and that industrial design and manufacturing process must consider environment as its
partner. It also tackles about the principle that this WMT will conserve the use of resources.
Waste Prevention. It is a process of source reduction and has a goal of resource
conservation. It is the process or action done to prevent on generating waste materials. This is
one of the factors that may affect the topic of this study, which is the Solid Waste Management
in Tinago, Naga City. It will determine the preventive measures the barangay had done to avoid
waste generation. It will also determine if the barangay has a poor waste prevention scheme that
will result to the lack thereof of goals attained.

11
 The theory that has been used in this factor is, The Waste Prevention: Theory and
Practice (Weenen, 1990) , to provide a framework for analyzing the prevention of waste
generation. It follows seven stages which are extraction or cultivation, refining, processing,
manufacturing, consumption, aggregation and dispersion. This process will define the practice
of the people and a tool to practice good solid waste management.
Waste Minimization. It is a set of practice and process planned to reduce the amount of
waste generated. Waste minimization reduces or eliminates the generation of harmful and
persistent wastes; it supports efforts to promote a more sustainable society. This factor will
determine the effort of the government, municipality or barangay to control waste generated by
firms or establishment in their area using the waste management and the sense of responsibility
of the producer of waste in minimizing and participating in the waste management.
The theory used in analyzing this factor is the Theory of Production with waste and
Recycling by Klaus Conrad. This theory is originated in Theory of the Firm, but this theory only
tackles about waste and recycling, while the Theory of the Firm is a much broader theory about
business aspects. According to Conrad, producers must observe product responsibility in
practicing prevention, recycling and disposal of waste. This implies that the producer should be
responsible in the waste generated by the products they produced or created. This process is part
of the theory of the firm which are develop under solid residual management. This theory
assumes that when the government encourages firms, companies or establishment to improve
recycling of resources and materials by a fee on waste or what we called tax; it will show an
impact to waste prevention, on the stricter sense of the production process on recycling, on input
demand, material saving effort, and on the amount of waste disposal.
Waste Treatment and Proper disposal. These are the planned collection, processes or
any activities done to ensure waste materials, especially solid waste, to have lower possible
impact on environment after it had been collected from the society. This factor is an important
aspect in waste management due to its relevance in achieving the set goals of reducing harmful
effect of waste. And if not properly regulated, none of these objectives will be met.
This factor is supported by the Integrating Planning Theory and Waste Management
(Hostovsky, 2000). It came from the analysis of the different reference journal that connects into
the waste management planning to derive a theory. According to the theory, waste management
planners may have shown general ignorance or intellectual neglect on the fundamental principle

12
of planning models and theories. There are three type of reference journal examine, stated as
planning journals that used to assess waste management, waste management dedicated reference
journals that is used to know what are the area covered by engineering and other disciplines have
in terms of assessing and planning theory in the management of waste, and environmental
management journals that is used to examine what extent multidisciplinary environmental
managers have in direct waste planning as a subset of their discipline. These articles are
screened, examine and analyze using six planning model and it concludes that the planners have
continuously repeating the same mistakes from the past. It also emphasizes that ‗Historical
Analysis‘ must be done in the planning to avoid the same mistakes. And social and public
participation in the planning is a must.
Human Environmental Behavior. In this concept, human behavior is defined as the
response, action, or attitude of humans towards the environment. It refers to their behavior that
they consciously done and chose, that can bring a positive and negative impact on the
environment. It is one of the major factors that can affect waste management due to people not
being aware, lack of obedience to environmental laws and etiquettes, and neglecting their
responsibilities towards their environment and community.
The theory for the basis of this factor is the Theory of Responsible Behavior (ERB)
(Hines). In which, the model of Responsible Environmental Behavior gives emphasis that the
intention of acting is the major influence on Environmentally Responsible Behavior.
The theory further discusses that there are variables that suggest an individual to adopt a
specific behavior or not. Knowledge, sense of responsibility, intention to act, locus of control and
their attitude are the variables presenting the interactions that are probable to develop ERB
adaptation. The model explains that the control center has a direct impact to the individual‘s
intention to act. Moreover, it also shows that the control center of an individual affects their
attitude and perspective of personal responsibility. Awareness and lore also affect an individual‘s
initiative when it comes to environmental agendas. However, some people may exhibit internal
or external factors that may affect their control center as analogous to a strong influence of others
to their beliefs.
In addition, no single variable is the determinant for the current behavior or that is
enough to initiate behavioral change in waste management (e.g. people dumping their trash in
prohibited areas despite passed regulations). People tend to bend rules and regulations since most

13
are doing the said acts. They often neglect their environmental responsibilities as well as their
responsibilities in their respective communities, Thus, loopholes in the waste management
process must not be the only one to blame. Assessment of the psychological and behavioral
factors may enlighten researchers in determining possible ways to ensure a fool proof waste
management. Knowledge is not enough to stop the fast growth of waste generation, nevertheless,
it is a fundamental aspect for an individual to possess enough information for personal growth
and behavior.

 Methodology
Research Locale
All written information in this chapter was ascertained through an absolute background
research. The goal of this study is to acquire information with regards to solid waste management
and its issues; therefore, one consideration is mismanagement. The location was chosen through
extensive comparison of which barangay in Naga City has the highest vulnerability rate when it
comes to health – related diseases. This was due to a factor that it is most likely to be caused by
an unhealthy environment. Articles and journals catering this information were compared to get
the most accurate result to give basis for determining the location.
After careful considerations, Barangay Tinago was chosen among 27 barangays found in
the city. Its emplacement near the Bicol River serves as a major role for deeming the final
location. Furthermore, Tinago serves as a perfect spot to conduct the interview for the
researchers because it is near the vicinity of the university; henceforth, easy access to the
students.
Research Subject
This study has done a one – on – one interview with some residents in Tinago, Naga City.
The researchers have sought these respondents through purposive sampling technique in order to
specify and minimize the number of participants. These persons were chosen through a set of
criteria which include a family composed of 3 to 5 members, a household members that has a
background knowledge on waste management, a family which has no more than one member
that is an official, and those who own businesses that generate a lot of waste are not encouraged
to participate in the activity.
These participants were asked on the spot and had answered an 8 – question interview
that have taken, at most, 5 minutes to execute. Irrelevant and personal questions were prohibited
to be asked for the interviewee to speak their thoughts freely. The researchers were affiliated
with a 25 estimated number of respondents. The total interviewee for the entire session was 21
persons, representing 21 households in the entire area. This amounts to 3% of the total number of
households in Tinago, with a population of 2,805. These 21 respondents were taken from each
zone, with 3 respondents for each zone present.

Ethical Considerations
The protection of human subjects through the application of appropriate ethical principles
is important in any research study. In a qualitative study, ethical considerations have a resonance
due to the in-depth nature of the study process. The concern of ethical issues becomes more
salient when conducting face to face interview with the vulnerable group of participants. They
may become stressed while expressing their own opinions during the interview session. The
process of obtaining consent consists of the following: consent should be given freely, subjects
should understand what is being asked of them, and involved persons must be competent to
consent. This means, to participate in a research study, participants need to be adequately
informed about the research, comprehend the information and have a power of freedom of choice
to allow them to decide whether to participate or decline.
The potential participants were approached individually and explained the purpose of the
study and data collection process. They were given time to ask question and address any
concerns. It was explained that as their participation was voluntary, refusing to participate or
withdraw from the study while it was on progress would not affect their own personality. To
those participants who don‘t want to reveal their names and personal information they have a
freedom to refuse. They were also asked if it‘s okay to take a photo with them and record their
voices as our documentation. The benefits of this to them is to help them distinguish the main
problem in their barangay and to help them to be organized and to implement well their waste
management plans. All the residents in Barangay Tinago shall be informed and aware of waste
management plans and their responsibilities as residents.
Research Design
The research design was used in this study is case study. Case study is a qualitative
strategy in which the researcher identifies in depth program, event, activities, process, or one or
more individuals. The cases are bounded by time and activity, and researchers collect detailed
information using a variety of data collection procedures over a sustained period (Creswell,
2009). This research used case study instead of phenomenological research because the
researchers gathered data to delve deeper on a recurring event in Tinago, Naga City, which is
waste management and its issues. The focus of this, is the activity of waste management,
therefore, creating a thin line of difference with phenomenological; research which focuses on
the respondents‘ experiences. Furthermore, the researchers investigated and collected

18
information that aimed to know how waste management is implemented, how the information
was disseminated, and the practices of these people to follow the waste management plan of the
city.
Case study was used in order to know on how the residents perceive the waste
management of their barangay and the issues regarding the matter. The instrumentation used in
this study was a one – on – one interview with the chosen respondent. In the collection of data,
the researchers took in consideration the number of zones to have a specified number of samples
for each. Three persons were chosen from each zone and were told of the purpose of the
interview. They were shortly briefed about the general details of the research before they were
asked to answer the questions. Utmost confidentiality was given to their identities for them not to
be held liable for any mishaps the researchers make with the study. The respondents were held
accountable for the information they shared through a voice record of the interview with their
permission. These records are then transcribed to prove transparency within the results of this
study. A maximum of five (5) days was allotted for the session in order to practice time pressure
as the time was limited.
Interview Instrument and Protocol
The questions under interpretative are the following: How do you manage wastes
generated in your home? What are the types of waste you most often dispose of?, Do you know
any ordinance from the city mayor's office relating to waste management?, What does it contain?
and how did they inform you of the waste management plan? These questions are classified as
interpretative because these questions are asking an elaborated answer regarding the waste
management in their barangay. The following questions which are 'What are your opinion or
what are the things you notice regarding the regulations of waste management in your
barangay?', ' What are the problems that you are facing regarding waste management?', 'Do you
think that there should be a sufficient information and awareness regarding to waste management
in your barangay?' are classified as ideal questions because they are asking for the solutions and
opinions of the respondents regarding the waste management plan in their barangay.
Data Analysis Strategy
This study will use inductive reasoning to clearly define and generalize the results of the
interviews. The data gathered will serve as an observation and is specified for each respondent,
therefore, the researchers will create a generalized answer for the questions used in the interview.

19
These generalizations will serve as a concrete evidence for this research; since, the results are
based from the studied interviews conducted. The focus of this study is to know the perception
of the residents of Tinago on the waste management in their barangay and the issues regarding it.
The inductive reasoning will be used to address this goal by providing a conclusion based on the
specific information analyzed and observed from the chosen respondence or residence. Their
responses will be used to generalize the perception of all the residence, and this be assuming as
truth. Other factors that furthers this study to use inductive reasoning are previous statements or
theories that are based on observations. These observations are used as evidences instead of
proving a statement.
Through Inductive Reasoning, the researchers could give a validated and legit answers
based on the information provided by the respondents. These answers will be the determinant
whether the goals of this study were attained, therefore validating the efficiency of the study of
being attainable. And thus, might provide answers to further problems addressing the issues itself
of the barangay.

 Discussion of Findings
Participants
During the interview session, the researchers had encountered the main attitude of people
towards interviewers, either the respondents were willing to answer or otherwise. And it was a
slight complication for the focus of this interview was to obtain the perceptions of residents on
the solid waste management of Tinago. There were twenty – one (21) residents that were
interviewed for 3 days. And all these interviewees were welcoming and considerate. The
researchers were able to record the voices of all respondents during the lengths of each interview
session. However, mostly preferred to be behind the camera so, the researcher opted to voice
record the interview for its whole length.
Those interviewed were mostly running a small – scale business or mere residents of the
community; typically, breadwinners of the family. The interviewee varies on ages 18 – 60 years
old. Most interviewees chose Tagalog and Bicol as the medium of language in communicating
with researchers. The respondents answered each question profoundly and explained clearly their
answers based on their ideas and opinions with regards to the said event. However, the
researchers experienced several instances where the researchers got denied from conducting the
interview. Nevertheless, the researchers were still able to meet the quota of respondents the
researchers will be interviewing.

Table1. Data Analysis and Coding

Written in the table above are citations on the answers given by the residents from
Barangay Tinago regarding the concept of this study. The table shows the analysis of each
corresponding notion in alignment to the responses that corroborates the main objective of this
study. Furthermore, the table above shows the varying perception of the respondents in waste
management and its issues in their barangay. In addition, these answers helped the researchers to
achieve the goals of this study which is to provide a concrete perspective from the residents of
Tinago in the implementation of the solid waste management plan.

23
 The data analysis shows the situation of barangay Tinago in terms of proper solid waste
management. The chosen respondents have answered questions focusing on the steps of
segregating and collecting waste. Some residents practice waste segregation in their homes
before throwing it at some bins provided by the barangay. Moreover, some residents usually
segregate their waste before putting it out their homes for collectors to pile. Given this, the
respondents emphasized that there should be a proper location for the residents to throw their
segregated trash which will be convenient for them as well as the collectors. At that, it was also
highlighted that these collectors should strictly follow their schedule of collection to avoid
animals from scattering these litters. By this, the residents stress that the municipal waste
management ordinance can be more effective if it is properly implemented through the
participation of both the barangay officials and residents. They perceive that if there is a strict
mandatory on waste management and segregation, those who are not following the said
ordinances can be more responsible in observing the said policies. This support the result of the
past research, Urban Solid Waste Management in Low-Income Countries of Asia: How to Cope
with the Garbage Crisis (Keller & Botin, 2012) saying ―In this context, the effective participation
of the authorities in implementing the solid waste management act is seen as a crucial part for the
success of the act. Innovations and improvements are seen as valuable aspects in counter –
attacking these problems.‖
Moreover, the table shows that the major sources of waste in Tinago are plastics and
leftover foods. Since it is consumable and easily replaceable, it deems it to be harder to put an
end to. On a day to day basis, these materials are commonly used; therefore, its usage is
unavoidable. This is supported by the book entitled Solid waste management challenges for cities
in developing countries (Abarca-Guerreo, 2012), state that the negative behaviors concerning
waste management can be seen in a lot of areas within some developing countries where the
citizens tend to use more non-biodegradable products, especially plastics, because of its
convenience and availability more than biodegradable materials.
In addition, another issue identified was the poor discipline and cooperation of some
residents. They often neglect their responsibilities which contribute to the fast accumulation of
unsegregated and improperly disposed trash. Some residents also disregard signages that says
throwing garbage is prohibited, however, no actions were taken against these irresponsible
residents as per told by the respondents. This lack of discipline is one of the major problem or

24
issues regarding waste management in the barangay. This support the past research of Model of
Responsible Environmental Behavior (Akintunde, 2017) revealing the other factor that affects
waste management which is the behavioral aspect of a person towards the environment. It was
also emphasized that upon this juncture, appropriate charges should be given.

 Conclusions and Recommendations
Research Question – and Answer
The researchers sought to understand the solid waste management in barangay Tinago,
Naga City. This study was conducted through a one-on-one interview with the residents of
barangay Tinago to acquire credible information and utilizing the data gathered to answer the
research questions.
This study answered the following questions:
Research Question One (RQ 1): How do the people in Barangay Tinago see the
significance of education and awareness with regards to proper solid waste disposal?
Proponent One (P1):
Based from the conducted interview of the researchers in Barangay Tinago, the
respondents emphasized that there is indeed significance in educating the constituents
with regards to solid waste disposal. According to them, it can be helpful in terms of
proper segregation and disposal of waste. In addition, it could also help in lessening the
percentage of collected waste daily. Some garbage may even be recycled and reused
which could contribute to a cleaner environment for them. The biowaste could also be
used as a fertilizer for plants and crops. Another significance given was pointed at health
risks. By proper education and dissemination of information, the residents could impact
on reducing the health risks of them and their neighbors. It could lessen the accumulation
of trash that results to foul smell that exposes the residents to several bacteria present
airborne. Furthermore, they could also lessen the chances of flood if there are no trash
that can clog canals and drainages.
These are several responses of the residents in the interview: ―Para sako, mahalaga
siya ta...sa, mapaphiling mo ang disiplina mo tsaka pag-aalaga mo sa kalikasan, sa pag-
aalaga mo sa tsk sa health nindo syempre makakasama yan jan‖ ‖Inot na inot ning ano
malinig hilingon. Ta dahil jan iwas sa hilang ang mga tao.‖.
Research Question two (RQ 2): How convenient does the neighborhood view the
location of the segregation sites found in Barangay Tinago?
Proponent two (P2):
Based from the conducted interview of the researchers in Barangay Tinago, the
participants strengthened their opinion that one of the factors that affect the maintenance

26
of proper waste disposal is the location of waste bins in the barangay. They pointed out
that the convenient location of these bins could help lessen the accumulated trash found in
front of each household. They stated that if there are proper trash bins in each street, the
people could properly put their segregated trash there instead of displaying it outside their
homes. Furthermore, the lack of these bins causes litters to be spread by scavengers such
as dogs and cats looking for food in these waste bags. The residents also regarded this
matter as an important thing for their surroundings to be pleasing to the eyes. All in all,
their responses differ according to which they are located: farther or nearer from these
waste bins.
Here are the responses gathered by the researchers: ―Sa nailing ko sa atubangan mi
mayo na si saro, *cellphone ring* dati igwa na may nakasurat. Garaba. Nagkagaraba.
Ahmm kaya ang mga tao ribong na, ahh ribong na kung sain na lang maapon‖. ―Diyan
lang o!‖, ―Medyo malapit din diyan sa labasan‖, ―Ay diyan sa kanto. Diyan.‖ Basing on
their responses, the researchers came up to the conclusion that albeit there are waste bins
placed in each zone, some residents still find it as inconvenient.
Research Question three (RQ 3): How do the residents see the need for the
implementation of a waste management plan in Barangay Tinago?
Proponent three (P3):
Based from the conducted interview of the researchers in Barangay Tinago, most of
the residents have responded that educating the people on waste management could make
a great impact on the proper implementation of a waste management plan. Through this,
the officials as well as the residents could have an open communication with regards as to
how the waste management plan will be implemented and what it is all about. They
pressed on the fact that the implementation of this waste management plan could help
them have a cleaner place. And that gained knowledge on this is enough reason to
motivate the residents to partake in this specific action. Moreover, the residents see this
plan as a practice that could challenge the discipline of each constituent in Tinago. As
well as, harboring their own compassion for the environment.
In connection, here is a response got from the interview: ―not only na mas… mas
madaling madispose ang mga *wind blows* mga ano solid waste pwede ring *laughter*
gawing source of income ng ibang tao since di ba inaano nga siya sini-segregate and then

27
 it can also… *wind blows* prevent diseases na mostly nakukuha dahil sa ahh improper
dispose of waste.‖ Not only that it could help them make a habitable environment for
themselves, it could help them earn money from creating products from these scraps.
Research Question four (RQ 4): How do the people consider the need of spreading
information with regards to waste disposal monthly?
Proponent four (P4):
Based from the conducted interview of the researchers in Barangay Tinago, the
researchers still deemed that the residents should be given constant reminder on
practicing waste disposal. The researchers believe that as they are not properly educated
on this matter, they should be often prompted on the consequences of not maintaining a
clean environment. Albeit the effort of these officials on spreading awareness thru
handing out pamphlets and modules, the need for seminars and demos for the sole
purpose of giving knowledge should be considered. According to some residents, there
were not enough announcements made afterwards the information dissemination. And
this likely affects the disorientation and mismanagement of waste by the people. Adding
up, the proper punishments for those who violated the said ordinance are not to be seen
based on the observations of the researchers. Those who attempt on violating these rules
are not given their rightful penalties based from what the researchers have gathered. And
this will go back to the lack of proper communication and dissemination of information.
Among the respondents, here is a response made: ―Dae man po minsan na segregate
nang maayos ang basura tsaka yan po, kulang po sinda sa announcement.‖ Given this,
apprising the residents on the proper waste bins for segregation is indeed needed. As well
as, announcements if there are any changes made by the barangay or city on the waste
management plan.
Conclusion
The waste management plan of Brgy. Tinago is implemented for the purpose of reducing,
handling, and disposing of the wastes generated. It is designed to reduce the unfavorable impacts
on the health of the residents and their environment. Moreover, the residents think of it as
something significant, for some wastes can be turned into products. However, despite having the
waste management plan implemented, the results obtained by the researchers opposes the

28
purpose of the Ecological Solid Waste Management. During the course of this study, here are the
following generalizations made by the researchers:
a) The City of Naga has implemented and managed the disposal of trash competently.
All the 27 barangays in Naga City have their own solid waste management plan
aligned to the main waste management given by the government.
b) Dissemination of information are not well practiced in the barangay as per claimed by
the residents. And this has affected how the residents react to the said event. They
perceive that with enough knowledge and awareness, they could keep barangay
Tinago a safe and healthy place. Suggestions of regular orientations for any updates
on the waste management plan were also given.
c) Constant monitoring of garbage segregation and collection are not done regularly by
city collectors resulting to a slightly unhealthy environment and an eye – sore garbage
area. Albeit convenient for the residents, proper trash bins and areas to be added were
suggested by some interviewees for the betterment and feasibility of waste
segregation and collection.
d) Discipline is not found on every resident of barangay Tinago, however, other factors
claiming their lack of care were stated such as busy breadwinners of family. The
residents pointed out that there is a need for the implementation of the waste
management plan to sustain the healthy environment of Tinago. With its placement,
near the Bicol River, health – concerns arise when the surrounding areas are not well
– maintained. Therefore, the need for a proper waste disposal plan is perceived as
significantly important.
These conclusions were made possible by the researchers with inclination towards the
problems stated earlier in this paper.
Recommendations and Implications for Theory, Research, and Practice
This study has been done for the purpose of acquiring information with regards to the
perceptions of the residents of Tinago in waste management and its issues. However, there are
still some inconsistencies with regards to the data gathered. Based on the following conclusions
made from the conducted study, there are some insinuations rendered by the researchers. These
corresponding overtones would partake in studies as a guide for the betterment and improvement
of analysis of data. With this said, here are the following commendation and implications the

29
researchers would like to give with alignment to theories, research, and practice mentioned
above:
a) The efficiency of the government of Naga City in implementing the Ecological Solid
Waste Management act is commendable. It was found out based on the responses of the
participants, that there is indeed an existing waste management in barangay Tinago.
However, the lack of participants should be given more considerations by future
researchers. By acquiring a higher percentage of samples, it could give a stronger basis in
the claims of this research. Focusing on the questions asked, a common answer of the
respondents is that the lack of discipline and awareness affects the viability of the said
plan. In correlation to this, the theory of Human Environmental Behavior supports this
claim. According to the theory, a person‘s choice can bring a positive as well as a
negative impact on the environment. Proving that awareness could also be a medium to
lessen this lack of care towards the environment. This awareness could strengthen human
response to the environment more on the positive side. By practicing self – discipline
with the right information, could help in the improvements of the Barangay itself. Via
constant reminders and coordination with the constituents of the barangay, there would
be a cleaner environment for them.
b) Obtaining more related studies and literature to strengthen basis for the problems stated
in this research are highly recommended by the researchers. Extensive comparison of
data and information are hereby suggested to explore in – depth the day to day recurring
problems with regards to waste management. With this, time and effort are regarded by
the researchers as the most important in doing this study. In the essence of being
qualitative in nature, perseverance of acquiring information is needed to create a more
accurate generalized conclusion. By dedicating more time, this research paper could be a
lot more detailed and informative. It could help a lot to future researchers and studies to
be a reference for related studies in the future.
c) Improvement of the waste management plan given by the city is highly encouraged by
the researchers. In doing so, actively partaking in this research is highly commended for
the purpose of self – improvement in critical thinking and communication skills needed
for achieving the goals of this study. As well as, being active on field works could help
both the researchers and respondents in exchange of information. This could result to a

30
 better solution for the existing problems as to every issue is addressed. Continuing, by
improving the waste management plan, self – improvement in discipline is also
recommended for the furtherance of the development of the barangay.
Summary
The researchers are in deep satisfaction after acquiring the information needed for this
study. The responses gathered from the participants had done such a great impact for the success
of this research; hence, the researchers have provided conclusions and recommendation with
enough references to back it all up. Through it all, the researchers held accountability for
everything stated in this research paper.
As mentioned, the replies from the participants implied a lot on the event of managing
waste on a day to day basis. According to some residents, the entire process of waste segregation
and collection had some major loop – holes to begin with. Starting from notifying residents until
the action is done; there are a lot of negligence seen from both the residents and the officials.
Most people tend to tattle about how the officials fail to inform every resident in their barangay.
There may be some instances that they have reached out to the public for awareness, but based
on the responses, there is proof that they may have failed to inform everybody on this ordinance.
Given this, proper waste segregation is not seen from each household. However, some factors,
such as work hindrance, have been one of the reasons as to why it is not practiced by some.
Nevertheless, the residents still believe that the lack of discipline and care for the environment
are reasons enough why there is little to no improvement on the act. Moreover, the lack of proper
waste bins provided by the barangay as well as collection schedule not followed contributes to
accumulation of waste and may pose risks.
On this stance, the researchers found out that although the ordinance was implemented,
there are still some revisions to be made. It is rather important for this order to be implemented
but should always be monitored by officials. Constant reminder, dissemination of information,
and communication between residents and officials are a must. Therefore, would result to waste
reduction, prevention of illnesses, cleaner environment, and well-maintained drainage system as
Tinago is by the Bicol River. All in all, the researchers are ecstatic to know that the residents
have been able to participate in this study. And hereafter, could partake in actions to go against
the issues of waste management.

33
Respondent #1: Ah yes, sometimes we practice segregation, waste segregation.
Interviewer #1: How do you discard unused materials, what are these common waste materials?
Respondent #1: Common waste materials mostly plastic andd uhh plastic and paper naman.
Interviewer #1: Do you have enough knowledge with regards to waste management?
Respondent #1: Uhh, ah sorry.
Respondent #1: Waste waste management, ahh medyo.
Interviewer #1: Have you— may anak ka na po?
Respondent #1: Uhh none.
Interviewer #1: Wala po?
Respondent #1: Wal— aanong what do you mean, meron na?
Interviewer #1: Anak po, kasi, children they have children po.
Respondent #1: Uhhm, a-again like I said I live with my parents and I have my br— my
brothers and sisters here, sa bahay. *clears throat*
Interviewer #1: What are the major sources of your waste at house?
Respondent #1: Aahh yan, as you can see may tindahan kami so yah plastics dun sa chichirya
then food waste like halimbawa leftovers na di inubos then, uhh, yung syempre yung household
items like yung powder, uhh shampoo, conditioner, mga ganon. Household items.
Interviewer #1: Do you have a proper garbage bin? Does it have labels on materials can be
thrown there?
Respondent #1: Nope.
Interviewer #1: Is there any waste management plan given to you by your baranggay officials to
follow?
Respondent #1: Yup, *clears throat*
Interviewer #1: What is the implement schedule of collection po? Schedule po.
Respondent #1: Yung schedule, so usually uhh nung binigay samin yung, tawag nun, yung
pamphlet for waste segregation yung collection dito uh in terms dito sa baranggay is, uh ano
Tuesday and Thurs-uh, Thursday and, sorry. Tuesday and Sunday yan yung collection ng non-
biodegradable waste and the rest, puro na yan ano biodegradable waste.
Interviewer #1: Do you know any ordinance that was handed by the city mayor with regards to
waste management?
Respondent #1: Yup.

34
Interviewer #2: Ano po yun?
Respondent #1: Uhh yan na yung nakasulat dun sa pamphlet na binigay, na dinistribute samin
nun. I really can‘t remember kung ano yung uhh, exact word pero it says about ano uhh
enforcing everyone in the household to segregate their waste.
Interviewer #2: Meron man pong mga penalty if ever na nag brea— po di nag follow ng ganon?
Respondent #1: Oo, so from what I‘mm from what I can remember 1st offense, siguro 500
pesos yung multa, 2nd is one thousand, 3rd two thousand and then 4th offense if you have a
business mag f-force ng for closure ng business.
Interviewer #1: What are your views on waste management implemented in the baranggay?
Respondent #1: So, from what I can see, not everyone is following the proper waste segregation
uhm stuff so, uhh from I can see yung nga. Hindi nila prinapractice na to properly segregate
waste and that‘s a huge problem kasi uhh dun sa pamphlet na binigay samin uhh dapat we should
practice proper waste segregation kasi if we don‘t segregate our waste hindi nila ic-collect yung
garbage pero parang rin yung sa observation ko kahit hindi naman sinegregate ng waste
kinocollect pa rin nila so, Im guessing na sila na mismo yung yung ano yung nag t-trabaho dun
sa waste management ng Naga, sila yung nag aasikaso pa rin ng pag segregate ng waste kahit
hindi namin sinegregate yung aming basura.
Interviewer #1: In your baranggay where is the location of your garbage collection and
segregation site?
Respondent #1: Wala, wala dito.
Interviewer #2: Ano po yun per house po nag c-collect or may specific lang na place?
Respondent #1: Well nag lilibot man ang mga, yung mga, tawag nun, yung mga, garbage ano
yung mga nag ccollect ng garbage ng garbage van. So, nag llibot naman sila dito sa buong
baranggay and then uh they‘re just asking each household kung meron silang mga uh mga basura
na gusto nilang itapon, so yan. W—we can also uhh dispose our garbage dun sa ibang sulok ng
street na meron parang yung hooks.
Interviewer #2: Hm.
Respondent #1: So that uhh we can hang our garbage there, so those are the two ways.
Interviewer #1: Do you casually throw your garbage there or do you have to go through some
process?
Respondent #1: Uhhm, I just casually throw my garbage.

35
Interviewer #1: Is there any personnel that collect garbage from your house?
Respondent #1: Uhmm oo.
Interviewer #1: What is your opinion on the implementation of the solid waste management
plan by the government?
Respondent #1: For me it‘s really a good thing kasi uhh, uhh waste segregation is a very
important thing especially na, uh when it comes to handling waste kasi ano there are some
wastes na pwedeng ano i-recycle may iba na pwedeng ano gawin into other ano yung gawin ng
ibang like products, like let‘s say like for example yung biodegradables pwedeng uhh posibleng
pwede ring gawin fertilizer and the likes, so yah its really important.
Interviewer #1: Have you ever encountered problems with the waste management in your
baranggay? Can you cite these issues?
Respondent #1: Uhhh, oo like uh like I‘ve said before uhh, almost all of this ano, halos lahat
dito sa baranggay from what I can observe they don‘t practice proper waste segregation pero as
much as possible uhh in case dito sa house namin uhh we always uh try ano we always do
everything we can to properly segregate our waste.
Interviewer #1: Have you experienced complication due due to improper waste management
like flooding?
Respondent #1: Uhmm oo, yes actually.
Interviewer #1: What is the importance of solid waste management plan?
Respondent #1: So the importance of this is uhmm, well parang in relation naman dun yung sa
sinabi ko before na uhh the importance of segregating waste is because uhh, uhh we have to ah
handle our garbage properly so that uh other stuff other materials or waste can be properly
disposed or properly recycled.
Interviewer #1: Do you think there is a need for proper education in the baranggay about
throwing waste?
Respondent #1: Yes.
Interviewer #1: How can you educate, uhm sorry. How can you educate and raise awareness to
others with regards to proper waste disposal?
Respondent #1: Okay then, so uh for that one uhh what I can do is that uhm siguro I can show
them how to properly segregate waste. Like say for example na instead of uh throwing any kind
of garbage in one ano ehh in one container why not uh create another set of containers para dun

36
sa specific na type of waste like isang bin for, for biodegradables isa for recyclables and one for
ano yan yung—
Interviewer #1: How can you lessen the usage of these materials that you mostly use and throw
after a single
Respondent #1: *clears throat*
Interviewer #1: or two use—usage?
Respondent #1: Hmm let‘s see, so for that one it‘s really kind of difficult na, well especially
kasi kami usually we always buy uh sachets of shampoo whenever we use it for yan, pag naliligo
kami every time so ahh I guess I can say is uh find alternatives in order to reduce waste.
Interviewer #1: In your opinion what is the future of your baranggay in handling the waste
managment plan?
Respondent #1: Soo, for the future I think uhmm, pakiulit. So for that one uh I think na ano, uh
for the future sana lahat na household dito sa baranggay they can properly pra— uh they can
properly uh segregate their waste so that uhh they can uhm you know it‘s, it‘s some sort of a
contribution para to lessen the waste or perhaps uh properly dispose of it as well as it also helps
in tsk uhh, ano making the world greener kung baga.
Interviewer #1: Do you think your baranggay officials have done their jobs properly?
Respondent #1: Nope.
Interviewer #1: Last question po, do you think your residence have been obeying the ordinance
properly?
Respondent #1: Maybe, *laughs*.
Interviewer #1: Thank you po.
Respondent #1: Okay sige.
All: Thank you po.
