THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION

Rationale

Humanity is presently confronting one of its most concerning issues

ever. Without a doubt, the Earth is warming, and results may wreck for the

who and what is to come. There is a general ascension among researchers

that Earth's atmosphere is being influenced by modern. One of its problems

is global pollution that brought by the many different types of products

humans and animals use around the globe. Each time we toss something as

refuse, consider where it will at last end up. Regardless of whether it is a

plastic glass, your broken wireless or the spent battery cells from your

versatile CD/MP3 player, they all contribute here and there to environmental

contamination and are likewise dangerous to life. In addition to the fact that

they are biodegradable, discarding them has their very own dangers as they

discharge hazardous poisons into the air and encompassing soil and

groundwater. These may contribute to another problem and this some

catastrophic effects of today's poor waste management systems may affect

our lives.
 Lapu-Lapu is indeed dubbed with predominantly with beautiful

beaches, resorts/hotels scattered all over its coastal barangays. This perfect

beaches with sandy shores and clear blue water are ideal for windsurfing,

water skiing, swimming, motor cruising or even just idling around its white

sands gazing its beautiful scenery. Its stunning underwater marine corals is

ideal for scuba diving. But these fascinating views are changing as its

economy continues to bloom the fact that it has cons and pros, indeed that

fact that the rapid urbanization has provided ample opportunities. The

opposite side of a similar coin anyway exposes a terrible reality that there

are results to having scores of rustic occupants relocating to urban

communities. When all said in done, this quick urbanization occurring in

numerous urban communities all around has had certain repercussions such

as poor squander the board. Therefore, the problem of Solid Waste

Management has become urgent concerns of Lapu-Lapu City. The rapid

increase of population brought by the rise of economic development

promotes the change of lifestyle and activities of the people in the Lapu-

Lapu City especially in the mainlands of Lapu-Lapu City where greater bulk

of the economic activities are situated.

In line with this, the researchers want to know and gain more

knowledge on how the Local Government Unit implements the law that
governs the proper disposal of waste management and how they will resolve

the issue that may arise along on enforcing this law.

 2

Theoretical Background

The study is anchored mainly on the following theories namely: Value

Belief Norm Theory by Stern (2000), Competence Motivation Theory by

Harter (1978) and Motivation-Hygiene Theory by Herzberg (1959).

Value-Belief-Norm Theory (VBN) is an expansion of Norm

Activation Model (NAM) which recommends that own norms enacted by

familiarity with outcomes and moral obligation credit impact positively

philanthropic and pro-environmental behaviors. Notwithstanding NAM,

VBN recommends that self-absorbed qualities are contrarily related, and

altruistic and biospheric values positively identified with environmental

mindfulness which incorporates ecological perspective, ecological results.

As a significant aspect of the causal chain proposed by VBN, environmental

mindfulness impacts attribution of obligation which directly affects

individual norms. At long last, particular standards, named as personal good

commitment emotions impact a few pro-environmental behaviors. This

theory mainly used to understand own environmental practices, as applied to

the researcher's study, this theory will be used to follow the ecological

values, beliefs, and norms of hotel managers and their effect on

environmental management support behavior. These will be done by

generalizing the values, beliefs, rules, and actions of hotel managers to a

 3

holistic representation of the hotel properties. From this, a better

understanding of the perceived advantages and disadvantages of

implementing sustainable practices will emerge. The Value Belief Norm

theory is like Ajzen's theory of planned behavior. In which it understands

one's personality and its collaboration with the environment can help

anticipate actual behaviors. Ajzen's model proposes that subjective norms,

attitudes, and perceived behavioral control influence behavioral intentions,

which, like this, influence behaviors. The VBN theory centers around on

moral standards and values while the theory of planned behavior centers

around rational choices and self-interest. The two approaches have been

looked at by Kaiser et al. as for environmentalism. This study utilized the

proportions of subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, behavior

intention and attitudes to take a look at the consistency of each theory.

(Schwartz, 1977, Stern, 2000, and Kaiser, Hubner, & Bogner, 2005)

These are further supported by Competence Motivation Theory by

Harter in which it explains that a reasonable structure intended to disclose

people's inspiration to take an interest, keep on, and buckle down in a

specific accomplishment setting. The focal proposal of this theory is that

people are pulled in to cooperation in activities or works at which they feel

efficient and capable. The method can be utilized by practitioners or

 4

researchers in solid waste management to distinguish why and how

youngsters, youths, and grown-ups can be urged to take an interest and to

apply exertion in these accomplishment settings.

In line with White, Harter likewise focused happiness as the

motivation behind why people roused to interface with their condition.

However, she included various segments. To begin with, she presented the

possibility that people's reflectance or competence can fluctuate across

accomplishment field. In every area, people are inspired to take part in

authority endeavors to develop or showing fitness. If their strength tries

result in advancement at a preferably troublesome task and in case they get

socio-enthusiastic assistance from essential individuals for such errand

accomplishment, by then they will experience the perspective of wellness

(confidence in their abilities in that field) nearby impression of execution

control (trust in their ability to control their execution). A high view of skill

and power, thus, result in sentiments of joy that prompt upkeep of or

increments in effectance (competence) motivation. As opposed to White,

Harter additionally proposed an adversely situated way that predetermined

that people who take part in authority endeavors yet meet with

disappointment at ideally difficult assignments or absence of support or

dissatisfaction from critical social operators will encounter diminished

 5

impression of competence and control in that accomplishment area,

alongside tension and disgrace. This blend of occasions will prompt

decreased effectance motivation in that specific field. (Harter, S.,1978,

Latham, 2012and White, R.,1959)

To strengthen this study, Frederick Herzberg carries out studies to

figure out which factors in a representative's workplace caused fulfillment or

disappointment. Motivation-Hygiene theory, well known as the two-factor

theory regarding the personal feelings of employees towards their working

environments., Herzberg characterized the Motivation and Hygiene Factors

by Robbins in two arrangements of variables in choosing employees

working attitudes and level of execution. Motivation Factors are Intrinsic

Factors that will expand employees' activity fulfillment; while Hygiene

Factors are Extrinsic Factors to keep any workers' disappointment. Herzberg

advanced that full supply of Hygiene Factors won't affect the essential

outcome in workers' activity fulfillment. With the end goal to expand

workers' performance or profitability, Motivation factors must tend.

(Herzberg, 1959)

In the World Bank ongoing report, the normal worldwide municipal

solid waste (MSW) age per individual on routine is around 1.2 kg, and the

figure is required to ascend to 1.5 kg by 2025. It along these lines implies

 6

that each state and nearby specialist endure the issue of viable waste transfer

because of the age of a lot of waste. The point is that a cast pushes the

present time off consumerism with organizations and makers endeavoring to

augment benefits by delivering one-time utilize items without organizing on

reuse, reusing or the utilization of ecologically benevolent materials.

In Lapu-Lapu, or, in other words, more than 12 million individuals, is

confronting a substantial ecological issue as other megacities in Asia, given

the challenges that it has been looking as far as waste accumulation and

transfer. Agreeing Aldrin B. Court, presently around 35,000 tons of city big

waste are produced by the Philippines every day and more than 8,600 tons

for each day in Lapu-Lapu alone. A sizable extent of the reject is

transparently scorched, additionally exacerbating the nature of the city's as

of now vigorously dirtied air,", urban advancement officer for the economic

improvement and environmental change division at the Asian Development

Bank. (Inquirer Business, 2017)

One of the solutions of the government reduces this problem is to

make laws that will help reduce the volume of garbage that can't be reused

or recycled these laws is the Republic Act 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste

Management Act) Republic Act 8749 and its local ordinance 485-97. The
 7

law requires every barangay to have a solid waste management plan to deal

with the handling, collection, and disposal of garbage.

The Philippine Republic Act (RA) 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste

Management Act legislated in the year, the act sought to institutionalize a

policy mechanism that shall set guidelines and targets for solid waste

disposal and reduction. This law pronounces the strategy of the state in

embracing a deliberate, thorough and biological strong waste administration

program that guarantees the assurance of general wellbeing and the earth and

the best possible isolation, accumulation, transport, stockpiling, treatment

and transfer of big waste through the definition and appropriation of best

environmental practices. Additionally, it shows the possibilities and

advantages of reusing intending to squander the board issues as well as in

easing destitution.

RA 9003 portrays solid waste management as an order related with

the control of age, stockpiling, accumulation, exchange and transport,

handling, and transfer of strong squanders. The way by which these

exercises are direct as per the best standards of general wellbeing, financial

matters, building, protection, style, other ecological contemplations, and

open mentalities. That Act accommodates a far-reaching natural strong

waste administration program by making the necessary institutional

 8

instruments and motivators, appropriating reserves, announcing specific

demonstrations precluded, and giving punishments. The creation of the Solid

Waste Management Board and National Solid Waste Management

Commission in every nearby government unit is ordered by RA 9003 to be

spoken to by open authorities, in their ex-officio limit, and the private part.

The Commission will fill in as the organizing body and in like manner create

and execute the National Solid Waste Management Framework. The

SWMB, then again, is coordinated to define a 10-year neighborhood

Ecological Solid Waste Management Plans organizing a compelling and

economic strong waste administration plan with essential accentuation on

the execution of all doable re-use, reusing and fertilizing the soil programs.

This will as per necessary arrangements under RA 7160 or the Local

Government Code.

Mandate No. 484-97 or Comprehensive Environmental and Sanitation

Code of Lapu-Lapu City plans to advance and ensure the wellbeing,

security, harmony and general sanitation of the occupants of the city to

improve the all-out condition of the area. Through the vital relief of adverse

natural effects of solid waste, to guide, control and direct the stockpiling,

transportation, and transfer of big waste inside the city and advance a precise

and clean framework. It does not only monitors and mitigate adverse
 9

environmental impact waste but also of the liquid and gaseous waste, etc.,

and to bring together and coordinate and amend the city ordinances on

sanitation and environmental protection.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Design

This study employs a qualitative phenomenological method of

research using an interview guide in delving into Experience of Local

Government Official in the Implementation of Waste Management

Programs.

Research Environment

The research will conduct in the different barangays in the City of

Lapu-Lapu namely; Brgy. Pajo, Pusok, Ibo, Buaya, and Mactan with an area

of 58.10 km2 (22.43 sq mi)and an elevation of 17 m (56 ft.), with a total

population of 83,427 covering 20.40% of the total population of whole

Lapu-Lapu. It has a density of 7,000/km2 (18,000/sq mi).

Barangay Pajo has a population consisting of 20,999 representing 5.14

% representing the whole community of Lapu-Lapu. Barangay Pajo located

in Maximo Patalinghug Ave. Lapu-Lapu City 6015

Barangay Pusok has a population composed 28,810 representing 7.06

% serving the entire population of Lapu-Lapu. Barangay Pusok located in

M. L. Quezon National Hwy, Pusok, Lapu-Lapu City, 6015, Philippines

 13

Barangay Ibo has a population consisting of 8,126 representing 5.14

% representing the whole community of Lapu-Lapu, it located in M.L.

Quezon National Highway, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. Barangay

Barangay Buaya has a population consisting of 16,072representing

3.94% representing the whole community of Lapu-Lapu, is located in Lapu-

Lapu City, Cebu.

Barangay Mactan has a population consisting of 33,465 representing

8.19% representing the whole community of Lapu-Lapu, is located in

Mactan Road, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu

Research Informants

The informants of this research will be composed of two (2) LGU

informants coming from the different barangays namely; Pajo, Pusok, Ibo,

Buaya and Mactan. These two informants will consist of barangay captain of

the barangay and the councilor who handle waste management or clean and

green.

Research Instruments

This research will consist of an individual discussion. The instruments

that will be using our interview guide and a recorder. The interview guide
 14

serves as a pattern of the researcher and serves as the primary basis for

extracting information from the participant of the study while the registrar

will serve as a secondary tool if in case that the researcher can't write all the

information that will be given to him by the participant.

Research Procedure.

The researcher will ask permission to the Barangay Captain of the

different barangays to conduct the study. If it grants, the researcher will

contact the subject and ask them personally permission from the matter with

the consent and asks them to sign the informed consent. These are for the

approval of the participants to interview the informed consent forms which

stipulate the study purpose and procedure in the conduct of the interviews,

the right of the subject and obligation of the researcher.

Gathering Data. The researchers will collect the data from and an

interview with the use of a voice recorder. Before the meeting, we will give

the interviewee an informed consent form to explain the purpose and

confidentiality of the interview. The researchers personally administered the

distribution and retrieval of the consent forms from the respondents. The

gathered data were processed and transcribed into texts.

 15

Data Analysis. The data that will gather during the in-depth interview

guide will be subject to the hermeneutical interpretation. The hermeneutical

interpretation moves forward and backward starting from the present

through the rigorous interaction and understanding of the phenomena is

uncovered.

Ethical Considerations. In compliance with the research ethics

protocol, the researchers obtained an Informed Consent form from the

informants stipulating their awareness to the purposes of the study, their

agreement to participate as informants, their freedom not to answer if they

feel uncomfortable with the questions, the welfare which they may receive

from the study, and the confidentiality.

CHAPTER 2

PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA

This chapter consists of the presentation of the data and their analysis.

Presentation of Data

As the researchers, we conscientiously delved into the relevant aspects

of the sub-problems from which the research data intended to answer. We

read all the transcriptions multiple times in order for us to acquire a feeling

on the description of experiences of the informants. Following the Colaizzi's

phenomenological approach, We painstakingly extracted significant

statements and logically arranged them for better understanding (See

Appendix E for sample of significant statements). We formulated meaning

outs from the significant statements to form the core meanings and further

analyzed them, and which, after a thorough study, arranged them into cluster

themes (see Appendix D-1 for sample of formulated core meanings). We

then re-grouped the cluster themes and which evolved into emergent themes

(see Appendix D-2 for sample of development of cluster themes which

evolved into emergent themes).

The results were elucidated into a rich and exhaustive description of

the lived experiences of the informants.

 18

There were 6 emergent themes which comprehensively described the

informants' responses to provide answers to the questions that this research

intended to be delved into. They are as follows:

I. Experiences of the Informants in implementing the

police-community crime prevention programs
1. Happiness to serve

2. Stumbling Block

II. Addressing the challenges encountered in the

implementation of police-community crime prevention
programs
1. I’m with you all the way

III. Impact of the implementation of the police-community

crime prevention programs to the personal and
professional career of the informant
1. The Major key

IV. Impact of the implementation of the police-community

crime prevention programs to the community
1. Benefit brought by Changes

2. Top of the line

 19

I. Experiences of the Informants in the implementation of the

waste management programs

1. The joy of service. This theme refers to the positive

experiences of the informants in the implementation of

the R.A. 9003 and it’s local ordinances.

Informant 1 responded to us with a smile on his face as he

expressed his joy on the cooperation of the community on their

programs. He stated that:

Kana bang kanang pag implement namo sa RA 9003

kanang sa solid waste kanang diha may time nga
nakadakop mi transporting ug garbage, na positive ko ba
kay ngano atong time-ma wala jud mi service kami akoa
akong assistant pagkadakop namo adto pilay fine nila is
56 thousand tranporting of garbage diha ko na positive
kay ngano ara ko nakapalit man kog nakapalit mi ug echo
bike which is na service namo, kay ang paho dako man
kaayo ning eryaha kay kapoayan man ka mag sige lakaw-
lakaw mag sigeg kuan sa basura, mao to time-ma na
positive thinker ko kay engun ani diay niya kung mobuhat
kag kaayohan niya makadakop ug kaayohan sa inyong
grupo makaayo jud lkay nakapalit man mi ug service,
pero ang pag impose namo sa balod kinahganglan
positive thinker jud ka (IDI1). (theres a time when we
caught transporting garbage, I feel positive that time
because we have no service I and my assistant caught that
and their fine is 56k I feel positive that time because that
time we buy eco bike which served as our service, Pajo
had a wide area coverage then we tired of walking
implementing about waste that time I feel positive thinker
because what they have said if we did good and we did it
for the group that feel good because we bought an eco
 20

bike which serve as service but in imposing the law you

must be a positive thinker.)

1) The stumbling block - This theme refers to the negative

experiences of the informants in the implementation of the

R.A 9003 and it’s local ordinances.

Informant 2 answered :

Naay koy experience na giitsahan mi ug basura sa

barangay kay 2months mi wala kakulekta ug basura lain
sad imo nang dakpon amo man sad sala, niya sige
pangasaba sa tawag kompleto ang pamalikasbasta mo
follow lang ka sa scedule smooth kaayo.Implementation
through Inform, dissimination, fine.(I had an experience
one time someone throw a garbage in our barangay
because 2months we fail to collect the garbages, it is our
fault. Then other people will murmur and say bad words
to you all forms of backbite you can hear. If you follow
the schedule the result will be smooth. Implementation
through information, dissimination and fine.)

Informant 1 responded to us with a seriousness on his face as he

expressed his feeling. He stated that:

“Sa dire sa amoa sa paho mostly ang taw diri

naanad nalang gyud nag kami taga barangay ang
manglimyo why ngano man kay tungod sa kuwang og
equipments. Mocooperate man sila pero dili kaayo
nigahin ani tungod kasagaran dire kay nanarbaho wala
sila mogahin og oras about ani (Here in Pajo mostly the
people here have become their habit that the barangay
 21

will clean their waste for the reason that our materiasl are
insufficient and besides mostly the people here works and
this have less attention about it). I-1

Informant 3, he answer honestly in a direct manner. he said that:

Naay one time ana nga gikasab.an mi sa mga taw
nagyawyaw sila sa amoa giingnan mi og mga way mga
buhat cge lag dawat og sweldo kay ganahan nila everyday
mi magcollect og basura naa baya tay schedule dire.(One
time people nagged on us they said that we didn’t did our
work and we keep on having our salary. They want us to
collect their garbage everyday but we have schedule )

II. Carry out the implementation of R.A 9003 and its local
ordinances
1. I’m with you all the way -This theme refers to the

personal methods, means and ways used by the informants

in addressing the challenges they encountered in the

implementation of the waste management.

Informant 1 courageously stated his strategies and his personal

methods. He stated that:

seminar, every monthj gusto namo naay seminar para

refreshing ba unsaon pag imposed sa balaod. Violators mo
issue mi og citation. Naay citation makita nimo unsa ilang sala
naa didto ang punishable act. P300-1000 minor offense. Every
month molimpyo sa pajo para makita nga galihok mi sa among
paglihok mo hatag sad mi ug fleyrs (IDI2). ( Seminar, every
month. We want to have seminar to refresh us on how to impose
the law. We will issue a citation to the violators. We have
citation, you can see there the violations you committed. P300-
 22

1000 minor offense. Every month we will clean the Pajo to let
the people see that we do our work. We will also give flyers.)

Informant 8 answered briefly. He stated that:

give awareness then strict implementation sa balaod pero
dapat disciplinado mi una before mi mamadlong alangan man
sad nga kami mabadlong sa ila nya utro pud diay ming
badlungon. Magstart sa na sa amo gyud first kay public official
baya mi imhimplo mi sa mga katawhan. Fines ra then
community service ang punishment pero kana magdepende na
sa imong binuhatan or sala nimo kana tanan. Wala nay warning
kay kahibaw na sila na sayop na ilang binuhatan sud usa pa wa
man sad mi magkuwang mag implentar sa balaod so mao ra
toh.IDI 8( we will give awareness then strict implementation of
the law but before that we must first obey the law, it is not nice
that we the implementers will try to implement the law but we
are the first to disobey it. It must start with us first because we
are public official and must serve as model to the people. Fines
and community service there is no warning because they already
know what they are doing, and we didn’t lack in implementing
the law)

III. Constraint the implementers in implementing the R.A. 9003

and its local ordinances
1. The Major key - This theme refers to the determinative

factors that mainly attributes to the failure of citizen in

complying the said law.

Informant 10 answered briefly. he stated that:

Kana sha ma connect na unsa sila ilang environment kay
mo adopt mana sila sa unsa ilang makita og feel sad nila sakto
sa ilang panan.aw ba mao na labi na ila mga ginikanan mo
buhat sad ana so musunod sad ila (IDI10). (It will connect to
the environment where they lived for the reason they tend to
adopt what they see what is correct based on the mostly people
did, especially if their parents did the same.)
 23

Informant 3 answered briefly. he stated that:

Kuwang sa implementation, walay pakabana ang
uban, kuwang ang taw, bisag unsaon nimo og ingun
segragate tapulan gyud sila mo segregate. timingun ra sa
uban taw ang pagpanglabay sa basura labi na walay
tigbantay.(IDI3). (Lack of implementation, some do not
care about it, lack of personnel. Even how many times you
told them to segregate, they are too lazy to do it. Some
will measure the time that no one can see them in
throwing their garbage.)

Informant 6 answered :
Tungod daghan na diring boarders nya sikit-sikit
ns balay, wala tay area, Karun, tungud sa kadaghang taw
diri nga ahmm mismo ang taga lodgers ky di mu
cooperate diri ky di baya sila taga diri ky ig adtu nilas
trabahuan kung makakita silage kinsa nay basurahan nga
ilang maagian ilang ibutang mao ng nga mamroblrma mi
(IDI6). (Because of too many boarders and the houses are
too close to each other, there are no area left because of
too many people ahmm even the lodgers will not
cooperate because they are not really from here so when
they go to their work if they can see a garbage somewhere
they will also put their garbage there that’s why we are
problematic on that.)

V. Impact of the implementation of R.A. 9003 and its local

ordinances have to the informant’s personal lives and
community in general

1. Benefit brought by the changes- This theme refers to the

changes of the personal life of the informants in the

implementation of the R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances.

 24

Informant 5 answered briefly:

Sa akoang pamilya, sa amua ang amuang basura
segregated jud na sya. Naa man koy boarding house, naa koy
boarding house nya ilahi jud ng malata, di-malata ug kanang
recyclable mao na sya unya pero ang mga taw bisag unsaon
nimug storya di man na sila kanang labi na sa akong ingun
nimu kasagaran gapuyu dri mga boarders

Informant 4 answered briefly:

In my life? Naga segregate ko sa akoang balay unya
dayun kanang adlaw-adlaw pud ang pagkuan sa basura
kanang ang amua ba adlaw-adlaw man sad na sila
mukuha edi adlaw-adlaw sab mi manglabay nad katung
akoang malata unsa gani malata sa English?
Biodegredable? Among dad.on sa bukid among ipakaon
sa animals. Yes pero ang mga eggshell ibutang sa mga
tanum.(IDI4). (In my life, I segregate in my house then
everyday they collect garbage so we also gave our garbage
then the biodegradable one I will bring them to the
mountain to feed to animals.)

Informant 10 answered briefly. he stated that:

basic nga buhaton like pagsegregate then sa amoa kay
tudloan nako akong mga anak na dili pataka og labay nya then
kanang plastic dugay mana malata di ba dili na sunugon kay
makadaot gud na sha sa atoa.. Sa akoa lang gyud no tagaan ni
shag importansya dili lang kay naay rules og balaod ana dapat
hunahuanaon sad sa mga taw sa kumunidad na dapat
maglimpyo kay kay kaayouhan nato na, sa amoa kana sha
clean and green kay usa na sa mga advocacy gigahinan namo
na sha og dakong pondo og pagtagan kay ang basura kung dili
makolekta manimaho nya makadot na sha sa atoang officials di
ba. (IDI10). ( Basic work like segregation and then I teach my
children not to threw their garbage anywhere espicially plastic
and not to burn it because it is harmful and for me we need give
attention and importance with this not for the reason that there is
a rules or laws we must think that we did this for our own
advantages, aside from that this is our advocacy we allotted
funds and give importance.)
 25

2. Top of the Line- This theme refers to the LGU official on

how they consider R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances in the

community.

Informant 1 answered briefly:

Ang paghatag og importansya isip public official

gihatagan nila og dakong pagtagan kay mao mani ang
numebr na problema dili ra sa pajo kung di sa tibuok
kalibutan.(IDI1). (We give importance as a public official,
they give enormous awareness because this is the most
problem not only in Pajo but also in the whole world.)

Informant 3 answered briefly:

usa sa mga priority namo sha kay tungod kay dili ra

kami ang maapektohan ani daghana ang epekto ani kung
di namo ni sha tagaan og pagtagad nya usa duol ra baya
mi og mga big estblishments mao na dapat tagaan namo
inig og gahin kay maka affect na sa amoa kay dagahan
man og tourista (IDI3).(one of our priority it is because it
is not only us to be affected but others also because there
here we are near big establishments that’s why we must
give it a time).

Informant 4 answered briefly:

It’s top of the line namu. Top ogf the line ky nganu
kung di maayung pagsegragate kuan sa solid waste ky
masakit baya ta. Top of the line next to drugs then peace
and order natu pag dili maayung pagda. (IDI4). (it is top
of our line, if we didn’t segregate the result is we get sick.
It is top of the line next to the drugs then peace and order )

Analysis of Data

This study used collaizi’s method on analyzing the data gathered by

the researchers. An analysis was pursued on the data gathered where

significant statements were extracted, core meanings were formulated,

cluster themes were developed, and themes were categorized into emergent

themes.

I. Experiences of the Informants in the implementation

of the waste management programs

Happiness to serve - This theme deals with the

satisfaction of the informants in their job. The informants

expressed their joy in their job of implementing the R.A

9003 and its local ordinances. This theme includes the

informant’s positive experiences like the result of their

hard work in implementing the law had a great result like

they can buy new equipment from the fines that they

collect from the violations which they can use in their

operation on collecting garbage’s. Aside from that the

informant they can see that the people will abide them

which result to the proper disposal. The informants also

 27

expressed their gratitude to the community for the

continue support of the program.

According to Herzberg, in Motivation Hygiene

Theory (1959), one of the content factor which aim to

give the employees worthwhile works that ables them to

intrisically satisfy by their work outcomes, experiences

learned, and achievement they received to theirselves.

The stumbling block - This theme comprises the

informants’ depressing side of their job. The informants

expressed their sadness on the negative experiences in the

implementation of R.A 9003 and its local ordinances programs.

Their negative experiences includenon- cooperation of some

people, lack of equipment that they will use in collecting the

garbage from the different areas in their territory, it also

includes negative feedback and negative responses from the

community during or failure to collect garbage’s. This theme

also includes those individuals who depends their garbages to

the garbage collector and not mindful on their waste and it

 28

effect, and it also include those people who are one side thinker,

that questioned effectiveness and success of the programs.

Because of these negative experiences, the informant felt sad

and this factors causes them to become disappointed to their

work.

Motivation Hygiene theory (1959) suggest that there are

definite factors in the work environment that cause job

satisfaction, while a different arrangement of elements cause

job disappointment. Analyzing this theory, the nature of the

work one performs which job aspect related to what person

does, apparently have the capacity to gratify such needs as

achievement, competency, status, personal worth, and self-

realization, thus making him happy and contented.

Carry out the implementation of R.A 9003 and its local

ordinances?

I’m with you all the way-This theme focused on the ways

and means used by the informants in coping and addressing the

challenges they encountered in the implementation of the waste

 29

management..This theme includes on the various programs they

conducted to lessen the problem of solid waste in their area like

conducting seminar, giving awareness program, strict

implementation of the law without bias and favor so that the

people will learn on their mistakes and know about solid waste

management in which this knowledge they will acquire will be

helpful minimizing the rising problem of waste disposal.

According to Value-Belief Norm Theory (2000) by Stern,

norms are activated when an individual believes that violating

them would have adverse effects on things they value and that

by taking action, they would bear significant responsibility for

those consequences.

1. The Major key- This theme refers to the core of

the problem that mainly attributes to the failure of

citizen in complying the said law. In this, the informants

determine what are the determinative reason behind why

almost people can hardly obey the law, the informants

merely believed that lack of knowledge particular to the

 30

subject matter giving them less priority , it also include

the different personalities and characteristic which rise

to various hygienic habits. Different person different

habits. Place also contribute to the problem of waste

disposal insufficient space tends to have no area of

where the garbage will properly dispose.

According to Stern on his Value Belief Norm

(2000,). In which it understands one’s personality and its

collaboration with the environment can help anticipate

actual behaviors.

Impact of the implementation of R.A. 9003 and its local

ordinances have to the informant’s personal lives and
community in general

1. Benefit brought by the change- This theme

refers to the outcomes of the implementation of the

waste management programs to the informants lives.

This includes being more aware of their surrounding

through the knowledge they acquire from the seminars

they attend. They tend to be a model to the other

citizen and they also gain popularity due to their work

 31

as implementer in which it is helpful in knowing the

root cause of the problem.

This relates to the Competence Motivation Theory (1978)

by Harter in which competence motivation increases when a

person successfully masters a task. Additionally, it contends

that appropriate praise and feedback by an individual helps

infuse a sense of independence.

2. Top of the line -This theme refers to the level of

priority of the solid waste management on their administration.

The informants consider the improper disposal of garbage as

one of the problem not in their area but also around world as it

have a wide range scope that affects mainly the economic,

health and business section in the area affecting the residents

and the community residing in the barangay. The solid waste

management is alarming situation that everyone must be aware

everyone must cooperate in solving this problem.

As discussed by Stern in his theory Value Belief

Norm theory (2000), for behaviours not strongly compelled by

contextual powers, singular decision about proenvironmental

 32

activities can be driven by personal standards - a internalized

feeling of commitment to act with a particular way.

 33

CHAPTER 3

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, AND IMPLICATION

This chapter presents the summary, findings, conclusion, and

implications based on the date secured through a series of the interview

using the interview guide, voice recorder, and field notes. The study was

conducted to provide an in-depth study about the experiences of the

implementer in Lapu-lapu City on the implementation of R.A 9003 and its

local ordinances programs.

Summary

This study aims to explore the lived experiences of the implementers

of R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances in selected cities of Cebu, CY 2018-

2019.

Specifically, the study seeks to answer the following problems:

1. What are the experiences of the informants in the implementation of

R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances?

2. How do the informants manage in carrying out the implementation of

R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances?

 34

3. What constraints do the informants encounter in implementing R.A.

9003 and its local ordinances?

4. What impact does the implementation of R.A. 9003 and its local

ordinances have to the informants’ personal lives and to the

community in general?

The participants of the study involve two (2) implementer 1 barangay

captain and councilor on every barangay in Lapu-lapu. The research

considered employed a qualitative method.

Finding

We were able to come up with the themes the experiences of the

informants in the implementation of R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances, and

there are two of them, these are the following: (1) The happiness to serve-

This theme refers to the positive experiences of the informants. (2)The

stumbling block-This theme refers to the negative experiences of the

informants: In carrying out the implementation of R.A 9003 and its local

ordinances we come up with one theme: (1) I’m with you all the way -

refers to the personal methods, means and ways used by the informants in

addressing the challenges they encountered in the implementation of the

waste management. In constraints do the informants encounter in

 35

implementing R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances, we come up with one

theme, it is: (1) The Major key- refers to the determinative factors that

mainly attributes to the failure of citizen in complying the said law. Lastly,

impact does the implementation of R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances have

to the informants’ personal lives and to the community in general, we come

up with two themes, (1)Benefit brought by the change- refers to the

changes of the lifestyle of the informants brought by the R.A 9003 and it’s

local ordinances. (2) Top of the Line- refers to the level of priority given by

the informant to waste management law in their administration with regards

to the community as the benefactor.

Implications

Implications for practice

Waste management is not a small problem and it needs attention

because its effect is wide range.. As the population rise and the improvement

of human technology we cannot deny that there’s also an increase of waste

and trash that we produce. This trash of ours even small it had a great impact

on our environment and to our mother earth. Waste management also affect

our health and economic industry. Causing more people to be prone to

 36

different kinds of diseases which will cause to poor job statisfactory rate and

job failure.

In line to this laws were passed that promotes to proper dsiposal of

garbages mainly the Republic Act 9003(Ecological Solid Waste

Mangaement Act) which tends to cure the growing problem we face it

promotes. proper management of waste program that will help reduce the

environment problem in our country and also in the world. The

environmental awareness and attitude of the people will be the key in

solving this problem. This characteristic will play an vital role becasue

people will be more concern on their surounding and it will deminish the

massive garbage waste problems were facing. We cannot take forgranted

this alarming situation we are now facing we must act immediately in

battling this global phenomena. The changes must begin first in ourselves

with a help of proper and smart waste disposal management this problem

will become to an end.

Implications for Future Studies

The researchers suggest that future researchers will study in the

following topics:

1. The condtion of the equipments used in the collection of the

 37

garabage trash and its effectivity.

2. The budget that allocated on the waste disposal management.

3. The schedule of the collection of garbage

4. The place where they dump there garbages.

TRANSCRIPT

I Experiences of the Informants in the implementation of the waste management

1. What observation do yoou have on the people's reaction to the waste disposal?
Why?

I1 Sa diri sa amoa sa pajo mostly mga taw diri naanad nalang gyud nga kaming
mga taga barangay na molimpyo why ngano noh kay among sakyanan kay duha ra kabook ang
usa kay bagdown ba gyud once ma bag down pud ang basura wana gyuy manlimpyo bisag
taskforce manakopunta manglimpyo nalang, ang among na obserbahan sa mga taw cooperate
man sila pero dili lang gyud engun pime mi gahin ug uras bahin sa basura ba kay kasagaran sa
lapu-lapu kay puros nanrabaho, so mahitabo mo cooperate tinuod lagi sila kung naa mi ang
dakong problema kay track, once a month magmeeting mi sa contituents bahin sa basura, pag
edukar. realidad na gyud diri mga taw marabaho pero bahin sa pamalaod cooperate jud
sila.(Here in our pajo, most people around here rely to us in cleaning the surroundings, why
because we only have two trucks the other one is bogged down and once the truck is bogged
down there will be no one will clean. Even the task force job is to seize they will clean instead.
What we observed to the people is that they will cooperate but they will not fully allocate the time
in cleaning the garbage because most of the people in Lapu-Lapu have work, so it happened they
will only cooperate if we have our presence. The big problem is the truck. Once a month we will
have a meeting with the constituents regarding the garbage. Educate. It’s the reality that people
will work. Regarding also to the law they will also cooperate

I2 naay time mo cooperate, naa sad time nga dili dependi nmana lahi na kung
kontra partido. (There are times they will cooperate, there are also times they will not, it depends
because of against-party)

I3 ni cooperate pero di sad kaayo tanan ibutang talang mga 50-50. kanang tibook
jud barangay? kining uban di man kaayo kani rang mga barangay worker mo cooperate jud sila
pero kaning mga taw uban dili jud. kanang uban tuyuon man jud na nila nga dijud mo follow.
(They cooperated but not all, let say 50-50. The whole barangay? The other will not, only the
barangay will fully cooperate but some people will really not cooperate. Some will not follow
intentionally.)

I4 Some cooperated, some not ky by in nature Filipino are so tamad. (Some

cooperated, some not because by in nature Filipino are so lazy)

I5 Ang uban ni cooperate ang uban wala. Gahig ulo. Kung masakpan namu sila
nga labi na kanang ilabay lang nila bisan asa, aw naa silay fine. P300- P3000. O, depende sa
sanction gud, dri sa gibuhat namu ky naa manay mga sanction nga weight. (Some cooperated,
some did not. They are hard headed. If we caught them especially throwing anywhere, they will
 81

have fine. P300-P3000. Yes, it depends on the sanctions, here in our work, there is weight
sanction.)

I6 Ni cooperate ang uban wala. Wa sad ko kahibaw. Ilaha sad nang idea nga di sad
sila motuman kay kami sa baranggay, administration nagsige gyud mi ug basura campaign to
implement sa mga laws sa kanang about sa basura. amo jud nang gisuon nag implement jud mi
ug basura campaign kanang para makakat-on ang mga taw kung unasaon nila pag segregate ang
basura. gibuhat jud na sa previews nga administrasyon unya karun mao na among gi follow para
ma follow-up nasadd na nila kung unsay di malata ug mlata unsaon pag dispose pero ang mga
taw di nato mapugngan.di sad maingun nga boarding hous hinungdan kay ang mga taw sa
barangay nag sagol-sagol naman gud naay dili taga ngari naay daghan nag-abang tungod anang
nag trabaho diri (Some cooperated some not. I don’t know. It’s their own idea that they will not
follow. Here in our barangay administration we also do the garabage campaign to implement the
laws about the garbage. We certainly follow, we implement garbage campaign so that people will
learn on how they will segregate the garbage. The previous administration made this and then
now we followed it to make sure they will know what is biodegradable and non-biodegradable
and how to dispose but we cannot hold people, we cannot say that the boarding house is the cause
because people here are mixed up, some are not really from here, there are many who rents
because of their work here.)

I7 Mao na sa amoa, sir amoa sad nang gipaningkamutan nga kaning sea-breeze
nga mahapsay ug malimpyo gyud. karun naa mi gibuhat sa mercado daghan jud ug taw
pananglitan basura amo nang gi implementar karun nga e segregate amo nang gisud esod jud na
siya sa sako ba ilain jud e segregate jud. ahh naa kay ma ato raman sad ang basura kay amoa
nang e segregate daan (That’s the way it is sir, we also do our best that this sea-breeze will be
elegant and neat. Right now we have created in the Mercado, there are many people for example
garbage we certainly implement that to segregate we put that in the sack, separated, segregated.
Ahh there is because we can have that garbage because we will segregate it first.)

I8 Para nako lang no ni follow raman sila kay amoa maning gi implement sa among
barangay ug amo silang e edukar about proper dispossal pero naay uban jud nga dili jud mo
follow mao na nga magpaseminar jud mi para ma lesser ang mga gahi ug ulo para gamay-gamay
nalang ang amoang trabahoon about solid watse unya importanti jud kaayo ning segregate kay
naa may adlaw para sa malata nga kwaon namo ug dimalata nga adlaw para dili nami mahasol
ug amoa nana sila gipahibaw niana and i have a plan nga magkuha mig dako nga truck kay duha
ra among sakyanan kay naguba ang usa magpameeting pako ani nga magpalit mig dako nga
truck para daghan ug masulod niya dili nami magsige ug balik-balik kay kana among sakyanan
dili kayna engun dako gud dali ra kaayo mapuno mao na among gisabutan run.(for me they
follow because we implement this in our barangay then we educate them with proper disposal but
there were some who didn’t follow that why we have seminar in order to lessen the hard headed
person in order for us to lessen the time of rebuke. Then this segregation is very important, there
is a day we collect biodegradable and non-biodegradable and for that we informed them in order
for them not to be hustle. I have plan to buy a big truck because we have only 2 truck. We will
 82

have meeting regarding this. The purpose of this on the part of us is we will not be hustle going
back and forth.

I9 Amoa diri sa Mactan limpyo nagyud kay nagsugod mi ug panglimpyo dugay na

kay diri sa lapu-lapu dugay nana gi implement ang solid watse management gani naay ordinance
484/97 kay diri naa may continuity kay sa tibook lapu-lapu naay nagkupot sa solid watse
management nga 20years nana siya kapin sa serbisyo mao na ang mag sige ug pa seminar namo
mao na ang mga taw diri ni follow jud kay amoa man sad sila e edukar about solid waste ug
unsay epekto naa lay uban nga maginahi kay dili mana malikayan nga naa juy boang gahi kaayo
pasabton ug magsalig sa barangay workers pero so far and so on ni follow man jud.( here in
mactan, it is already clean because we started cleaning because of the ordinance 484/97. Here
there is a continuity of the program because there is one who handle the solid waste management
for almost 20 years then she always conduct seminar in our people. The people here tend to
follow because aside from the seminar we lectured them about it then the effect of it. We cant
avoid that their where people who will not obey but so far they cooperate.

I10 Basi sa giingun ni kap diri sa amoa limpyo gyud kay ako as a councilor nga
nagda sa solid waste management mamadlong mi kung naay magpataka ug labay unya kung dili
patoo tagaan namo ug citation kung mousab pajud amo nana siyang ipatawag ni kap. ( as a
councilor that handle solid waste management we implement the law for those people who will
not obey and we will give citation if they will not follow.)

2. Have these observation strengthened or weakend your sense of fulfillment as a law

implementor? how?

I1 Nitaas kay challenge sa amo solid waste kay dili kami ra ang mahasol mas taas
among pag edukar nila kay ang mga taw gyud sa akong giingun mostly nanrabaho, mas imo
moral kay wana ming mgta tawhana kailangan mohatag kag uras ani aron makahibaw sa
basura. Naa as a leader diligyud ka kapada ingnun ka sa constitute nga ila nang trabaho, bisag
sakit ila estorya ddapat magpaubos jud ka. Naay one time nga nakadakop mi niya ang fine ato
gipalit namo ug eco w/c is na service namo niya nibuhat ka ug kaayuhan niya nakadakop ka para
sa kaayuhan. (It increases because it is a challenge for us in solid waste because it’s not only us
that will be bothered, We educte them more because as what I’ve said people here have work, our
confidence will increased more because these people needs to give their time so that they will
know about the garbage.)

I2 Nakapalig-on siya nako kay isip mangalagad ikaw may rule model unya ila man
kung gi follow ug niuman man sila kanang wala nituman wala na nakadown nako mas
maningkamot ko nga ako na silang mada para dina sila pataka ug labay.( it strengthen me as a
implementer because you are the role model then they follow if ever there were people who will
not obey it will not degrade mi and I will make effort in order for them to follow.
 83

I3 Usahay maka weaken gyud ilabi na laing milingkod dili matagad ang solid waste
management. (Sometimes it made me weaker especially when a new leader of the solid waste
management is assigned it will not be cared.)

I4 O mupatuo jud sila nako pilmiro wa kaayo sila mopatuo nako pero nagdugay kay
sige jud mi ug pa meeting ang mga taw sa clean and greeen ba (Yes, they will listen to me but at
first they will not listen but as the time pass by they will because we always have them meeting
about the clean and green.)

I5 Ahh wala, wala ni os-os. Political will na atu ug ipatuman. Unsaon namu
pagpatuman sa political will is kanang dili mu segregate masakoan naan a syay citation, citation
ticket na magmulta na sya. (Ahh no. it did not descend. It’s the political will we’ll enforce. How
will we enforce the political will is if someone caught the garbage is not segregated, he/she will
have citation, a citation ticket that will impose them fine.)

I6 .It’s our challenge. Ky ako man usa sa myembro sa solid waste nga pagkakaron
naa mi gi implement, ay wala pa anmu gi implement pero on going pa sya kanang kung kinsa ang
pinaka cleanest nga barangay ky nay premyo. (It’s our challenge. Since I’m one of the members
in solid waste we have an implement, I mean it’s not yet implemented, it’s still on going in which
the cleanest barangay will have a reward.)

I7 Para nako makapalagsik nimo kun ikaw usa ka baranagy official kung
commitment ka sa imong trabaho. di mansad ka ma success kung wala kay gugma sa trabaho imo
manang gipanangad nga moserbisyo ka. mas ma improve ang akoang kaugalingun, challenge
rani nako.(For me it makes us lively if you are one of the barangay official if you are committed
in your job. You will not be successful if you do not love your job because you desire that to
serve. It’s my challenge, it will improve my self.)

I8 Naka strenghten man siya kay akoy gitagaan ani nga obligasyon dapat maglig.on
jud kay naa silay pagsalig nako unya kasagaran mo tuman man sa balaod ug kanang uban sad
amo na sila nga seminarun para matarong ug nisuporta raman sad among mayor namo.( it
strengthen me because this was handed on me , so they have entrusted their trust , some will
follow the law but there were few who violates that why we let them seminar in order for them to
obey)

I9 Dili gyud malikayan na mo low gyud imo kumpyansa mahitungod ani

kay maglantaw ka maka discourage man gud nga bisag unsaon nimo og pag.implementar
sa balaod nay gyud uban gahi gyud og ulo mao ni sa among part buhat lang gyud mi og
sakto nya magkugi pa og mayo sa among buhat. (You cannot avoid that your self-esteem
will get low because you can observe that some people will not people follow so in our
part we will work better and make and extra effort on our job)

I10 Naka strengten kay nipatoo raman jud ang taw gud kay sige man ko ug pa
seminar para mopatoo jud sila sa giingun pa ni kap challenge rajud na namo ang gahi ug ulo.(it
strengthen me because mostly people here obey us as what our capt. said.)
 84

II. How do the informants manage in carrying out the implementation of R.A. 9003 and its
local ordinance

1. How did you implement the R.A. 9003 law so that people will obey, did you use
rewards? What are these? If they don’t follow it, how did you find ways to make
them complaint with the law? Fines? Imprisonment?
I1 yes nitaas kay challenge mana namong mga taga solid watse,o unya mas taas among pag
edukar nila kay ang mga taw gud diri sa paho sa ako pang giingun mosthly nanrabaho niya
,motaas man imong moral nga anang mga tawhana unsaon mana nimo pag edukar, so
kinahanglan mohatag jud kag uras ana nila nga mahibaw sila ug unsa ang basura. Naa pero as a
leader dili jud ka magpada, kanang engnun ka sa contituent nga ahh inyo nang trabaho, inyo
nang trabaho ang pag panglimpyo murag makadown sa imong moral ba pero as a leader mo go
down jud ka bisag sakit ilang giistorya kay trabaho mana nako, pero kung madown ko sa akoang
kaugalingun upleft lang jud dayun ginoo. Kana bang kanang pag implement namo sa RA 9003
kanang sa solid waste kanang diha may time nga nakadakop mi transporting ug garbage, na
positive ko ba kay ngano atong time-ma wala jud mi service kami akoa akong assistant
pagkadakop namo adto pilay fine nila is 56 thousand tranporting of garbage diha ko na positive
kay ngano ara ko nakapalit man kog nakapalit mi ug echo bike which is na service namo, kay ang
paho dako man kaayo ning eryaha kay kapoayan man ka mag sige lakaw-lakaw mag sigeg kuan
sa basura, mao to time-ma na positive thinker ko kay engun ani diay niya kung mobuhat kag
kaayohan niya makadakop ug kaayohan sa inyong grupo makaayo jud lkay nakapalit man mi ug
service, pero ang pag impose namo sa balod kinahganglan positive thinker jud ka..( yes it boost
because it is a challenge on our part as a solid waste management then we give rise on
educating because the people here in pajo mostly works. Your moral will rise because on how
you will educate those people, we must give time about this in order for them to be inform about
garbage. As a leader you must not be affected on the opinion of the constituents regarding about
your work because it will down your moral but as a leader you must go down even though it hurts
I uplift to it to the God above. In implementation of R.A 9003 theres a time when we caught
transporting garbage, I feel positive that time because we have no service I and my assistant
caught that and their fine is 56k I feel positive that time because that time we buy eco bike which
served as our service, Pajo had a wide area coverage then we tired of walking implementing
about waste that time I feel positive thinker because what they have said if we did good and we
did it for the group that feel good because we bought an eco bike which serve as service but in
imposing the law you must be a positive thinker.)

I2 Naay koy experience na giitsahan mi ug basura sa barangay kay 2months mi wala

kakulekta ug basura lain sad imo nang dakpon amo man sad sala, niya sige pangasaba sa tawag
kompleto ang pamalikasbasta mo follow lang ka sa scedule smooth kaayo.Implementation
through Inform, dissimination, fine.(I had an experience one time someone throw a garbage in our
barangay because 2months we fail to collect the garbages, it is our fault. Then other people will
murmur and say bad words to you all forms of backbite you can hear. If you follow the schedule
the result will be smooth. Implementation through information, dissimination and fine.)
 85

I3 punishan namo. among suspensuon. among badlungon, pero kana among

barangay worker suspensoon unya ang ordinary peoplr issuehan ug citation( we punish then we
suspend and also rebuke them, if it is barangay worker then we will suspend him/her and if it’s a
non public official working in barangay we will issue citation)

I4 Yes, I know that RA 9003 is a solid waste. Mao tu sya katu ako gi ingun nimu.
Segragation. UNya pag dili mutuman nay citation and adlaw-adlaw ang among pagkuha sa
basura, twice a day. Pero kana man gud dili na namu masakpan tanan ky ilang ibutang sa dalan.
Kung Kapila kanang sigihon nila og kuan if ever nga sigi among sa ano sa korte, naa mana sya,
okay, filan sila og kaso(Yes, I know that RA 9003 is a solid waste like what I said, segregation
and if they will not follow their will be a citation and then everyday collection of garbage twice a
day, if a violator continue his doing and became habitual they will be file a case.)

I5 Kuan we will not kuan give any reward ky ang kining pagpanglabay lang daan
sa ilang basura ky dako nanang sala. Kybaw ka last year almost one million among nabayaran
sab asura. Mao ng mu give mig reward? No, it is their responsibility to clean their area and to
segregate sa ilang garbage. Pero lang ang barangay tungud ky kanang kinahanglan limpyu ta,
amu gyud ng buhatun. Dako kay mig budget nga kuan oy sa overall nana.(we will not give
rewards because throwing garbage is a big sin. You know what last year one million we pay one
million for garbage, that giving reward? No it is their responsibility to clean their area and to
segregate of their garbage. But the barangay we need to clean and that is one of our job.)

I6 sa ikatulo citation najud final niya ang pinakagamy 300 nakalimot ko , first
offense community service , kanang kuan nakadakop ko ug naglabay ug baho nga lamaw mao to
amoang gefinaltihan so 300 bayad ato. lahi ang lamaw lahi ang basura ilabay bitaw kanang dili
e segregate

I7 wala mi reward sa amoa lang isip barangay official mao gyud nay una
maningkamot sad gyud unsaon pagsulbad sa problem.Naa. naa gyud nay warning ang ikaduha
atong kwaon ilang atensyon niya ipatawag ngari sa baranggay pasabton sila gyud nga mao na
ang balaod. ( we have no rewards in our side as barangay official we strive to make solution on
how to solve this problem. We had warning and then in second time we will get their attention,
we will summon here in the barangay in order to lecture them about their acts.

I8 give awareness then strict implementation sa balaod pero dapat disciplinado mi

una before mi mamadlong alangan man sad nga kami mabadlong sa ila nya utro pud diay ming
badlungon. Magstart sa na sa amo gyud first kay public official baya mi imhimplo mi sa mga
katawhan. Fines ra then community service ang punishment pero kana magdepende na sa imong
binuhatan or sala nimo kana tanan. Wala nay warning kay kahibaw na sila na sayop na ilang
binuhatan sud usa pa wa man sad mi magkuwang mag implentar sa balaod so mao ra toh.( we
will give awareness then strict implementation of the law but before that we must first obey the
law, it is not nice that we the implementers will try to implement the law but we are the first to
disobey it. It must start with us first because we are public official and must serve as model to the
people. Fines and community service there is no warning because they already know what they
are doing, and we didn’t lack in implementing the law)
 86

I9 sa amoa dire kay badlungon namo kung dili patuo kay tagaan namo sha og
citation (here we rebuke them and if they will not follow we will give them citation)

I10 citation ra og kuan badlong sa mga taw nya magrobbing mi nya mamadlong sa
mag taw magpataka og labay sa basura. Priso murag wala man tingale kay kutob ra man mi
issue og citation sa mga taw then multa sa madakpan depende sa violation (citation and give
warnings to the people, then we will have a roving in order to rebuke people who threw their
garbage anywhere. Imprisonment I think, none we only issue citation to the people)

III WHAT CONSTRAINT THE IMPLEMNTERSIN IMPLEMENTING THE R.A 9003

AND IT'S LOCAL ORDINACE

1. In your opinion, why do people have difficulties complying with laws ordinance

I1 Ang pag impose namo msa RA 9003 sa pagkakarun katong niaging month ug
september kaduha mi nag seminar kay gusto man gud nako nga every month naay seminar sa,
ang mga clean and greeen ug ang takforce para refereshing ba nga engun.ana-on pag impose
ang balaod, aahh among pagpatuman sa balaod is kuan jud kaning kina-agi sa mga kaning
demokrasya ba maminaw mi sa side sa among dakponon kay naa may time nga kanang
moreklamo ang nadakpan bahin sa kaning RA 9003 nga magreklamohay unya moari namo ara
nako magpasabot ana nila, kung naa violator thats the time nga mo issue najud mi ug citation,
naa mi citation nga makita nimo kung unsa imong mga sala pinaagi sa RA 9003, naa man ngadto
mga major offense, water spilling kanang illegal dumping mao na siaya mga major offense ngfa
kung establishment na imong madakpan ang fine ana 700-1000 kung minor offense lang kay
kanang anti littering, urinating in public places 30-1000 pero watchout kung makadakop mi ug
establishment lahi ang ilang fine mo range na siya ug 700-1000, ang kasagaran violation sa
establishment kuan kanang non cleanliness kay naa mana sa RA 9003 with in 3 to 5 meters imong
limpyuhan imong tugkaran, mag insfect mi mao bitaw na kada month naa mi seminars niya after
a seminars ang amoang buhaton manglimpyo gyud mi tibook sa paho para makita sa mga taw
nga ang solid watse sa pajo naglihok dayun at the same time manghatag mi flyers para ma
aware sila dayun 3rd ana mao na among pag implement. wala pa mi kasugatan anang
problemeha sir kay once ma isuaehan ang constituents moara man dayon sha sa kapitan kay naa
man na sa rules nga within 72 hours kung di ka mo comply sa imong salaod moadto nka sa
piskal which sa piksal duha ra imong padulngan edi mapriso ka og mobayad ka so wala mi
kasugat na habitual nakaayo sha one time ra maissuehan sha moara dayon sha sa kiptan nya ang
among kapitan maloloy.on kaayo managayo lang og pasaylo. sa akong pagkaingon ang mga taw
dire sa pajo kay workers, naa ra mana sa pagpaedukar sa ila kung ang taw dili ma edukar
magpataka ra gyud ang labay sa basura kung ma edukar na sha dili na sha magpataka og labay
og basura mao nang magpaseminar mi.(In imposing the R.A 9003 today, in the past months in
September we conducted a seminar because we want it every month there is a seminar sa mga
clean and green and task force so that refreshing in imposing the law. In implementation about
the law we implement it in a democratic way we listen to the side of the arrested person. Because
 87

some time the arrested person will make a complaint regarding the R.A 9003 then that’s the time
we will issue a citation. We have citation that you will see the violation that the persons did in
accordance R.A 9003 there’s a major offense if an establishment violates it the fine ranges from
700-1000 if it is a minor offense then the usual offense that the establishments is uncleanliness
because it is in the R.A. 9003 within 3-5 meters you must clean your surrounding. We conduct
inspection that’s why we have seminar every month then after the seminar we will clean the
whole pajo surrounding at the same time we will distribute flyers in order for them to be aware
then the 3rd steps is the implementation once the constituents will be issued they will go to the
barangay captain and within 72 hours if they will not comply that the time he will go to the fiscal
and he had two choice he will pay or he will be imprison, we didn’t meet any habitual like that
once the constituents will be issued citation he will go to our captain and our captain have a
mercy heart that why he will accept their apologies. This depends on how we educate them if the
people is not educated then they will do the same act but if they were educate then they can learn
their mistakes.)

I2 Sa akoa lang ang uban taw nagtinapulan lang jud niya dili pa sila moapil kung naay
seminar mao na akoang maengun tapulan lang jud.(for me some people are lazy then they will
not attend seminar that the reason why they are being lazy)

I3 Kuwang sa implementation, walay pakabana ang uban, kuwang ang taw, bisag
unsaon nimo og ingun segragate tapulan gyud sila mo segregate. timingun ra sa uban taw ang
pagpanglabay sa basura labi na walay tigbantay. (Lack of implementation, some do not care
about it, lack of personnel. Even how many times you told them to segregate, they are too lazy to
do it. Some will measure the time that no one can see them in throwing their garbage.)

I4 Kinaiya jud na nila uyy (It’s their attitudes)

I5 Para nako ila nang kinaya nga bisag unsaon ug pag estorya nimo dili mopatoo
bisag unsaon ug pasabot nga bawal buhaton jud ang bawal( that’s their attitude even if you will
told them that there act if prohibited they will not follow and obey you)

I6 Tungod daghan na diring boarders nya sikit-sikit ns balay, wala tay area, di
parehas sa palawan, nangadto mig palawan adto mi og Il-Ilo. Dako kaayu tu silage lugar sa
ilang basura, diri wa silay garden nga mabutangan sa malata ba, didtu nindot sila didto ky part
man tu sa maung trainig sa solid waste noh. Ang ilahang . More on agricultural, diri industrial
man atua diri, daghan kaayug boarders dira dira dira dira daghag boarders so dinagunutay sa
area ba wala nay wala nay kuan ba space ba para makabutanganan sa imung garden ky didtu
nimu mabutang ang malata himuon lang of fertilizer. Karun, tungud sa kadaghang taw diri nga
ahmm mismo ang taga lodgers ky di mu cooperate diri ky di baya sila taga diri ky ig adtu nilas
trabahuan kung makakita silage kinsa nay basurahan nga ilang maagian ilang ibutang mao ng
nga mamroblrma mi. (Because of too many boarders and the houses are too close to each other,
there are no area left, unlike in Palawan, we went to Palawan and in Ilo-Ilo. They have bigger
space for their garbage. Here they don’t even have garden to put their biodegradable. It’s nice in
there, it was part in our training in solid waste. They are more on agricultural unlike here it is
industrial, many boarders, there there there there so many boarders so the area is limited, there’s
no space for the garden so that you can put your biodegrdable in making use of fertilizer. Right
 88

now, because of too many people ahmm even the lodgers will not cooperate because they are not
really from here so when they go to their work if they can see a garbage somewhere they will also
put their garbage there that’s why we are problematic on that.)

I7 So wala man mi nagkuwang ug implentar about solid watse gahi lang jud ni ug
ulo ang uban mosupak jud.(we didn’t lack in implementation about waste management , and there
are people who are hard headed and tends not to follow the rules

I8 Para sa akoa lang no ang taw naa jud pagkatapulan niya ang dili nasad ka
atiman kay sige ug trbaho labi na ang mga boarders ra diri.(for me people have a characteristic
of being lazy plus they cannot have attention with this matter it is because of their work)

I9 Naa lang juy pagkagahi ning ubang taw bisag unsaon ug estorya dili gihapon
mopatoo( there are people who are hard headed)

I10 Kana sha ma connect na unsa sila ilang environment kay mo adopt
mana sila sa unsa ilang makita og feel sad nila sakto sa ilang panan.aw ba mao na labi
na ila mga ginikanan mo buhat sad ana so musunodsad ila(It will connect to the
environment where they lived for the reason they tend to adopt what they see what is
correct based on the mostly people did, especially if their parents did the same.)

IV. Impact of the implementation of R.A. 9003 and its local ordinances have to the
informants’ personal lives and community in general

1. Can you describe or explain the impact of waste management unto you in
general?
I1 you can see makita nimo ang taw mo cooperate pud kay makita nila ang tagabarangay
kay manglimpyo makita namo nga mo cooperate kasagaran ang cooperative ang mga gamay nga
tindahan og school. Naay mausab kay imong pagkataw mura nasad og limpyo kung tan.awon ka
sa maga taw kami mga solid waste kung dili mi maglimpyo maka affect na sa imong image.(As
you can see, a person will also cooperate because they can see that the barangay workers will
clean, we can see that some of them cooperated. The most cooperative is the small store and the
school. There is a change in yourself because people will see you as a clean person, If us-the solid
waste will not clean it will affect our image.)

I2 sa akong panahon kay straight man ko niadog sud ako may nidala sa clean and
green amo to maintain lang gyud.( in my time I won straight terms then I bring the clean and
green program here then maintain always.)

I3 aw known ko sa barangay( I’ll be popular in the barangay)

I4 In my life? Naga segregate ko sa akoang balay unya dayun kanang adlaw-adlaw

pud ang pagkuan sa basura kanang ang amua ba adlaw-adlaw man sad na sila mukuha edi
 89

adlaw-adlaw sab mi manglabay nad katung akoang malata unsa gani malata sa English?
Biodegredable? Among dad.on sa bukid among ipakaon sa animals. Yes pero ang mga eggshell
ibutang sa mga tanum. (In my life, I segregate in my house then everyday they collect garbage so
we also gave our garbage then the biodegradable one I will bring them to the mountain to feed to
animals.)

I5 Kuan kanang problema jud sya Sa akoang pamilya, sa amua ang amuang basura
segregated jud na sya. Naa man koy boarding house, naa koy boarding house nya ilahi jud ng
malata, di-malata ug kanang recyclable mao na sya unya pero ang mga taw bisag unsaon nimug
storya di man na sila kanang labi na sa akong ingun nimu kasagaran gapuyu dri mga boarders.
Ang mga landlord ana nila nag implement man di lang jud sila mutuo ky puro man sila nagdali
magdali nya mao lage na problema jud ang waste management bisag unsaon jud bisag pag kuan
pagkanang badlong problema jud sha. Ayy, sigi namig sulti ana nila. Naa paman gani mi
inspection taga balay kung naa silay kuan. Naa man daghan man sad nang cooperate naa say
kuan busy kaayu wala dira ang landlord ang mga boarders ray naa dira mao nay problema. Ang
naa dira nga landlord kuan na ilaha kanang segregsted bitaw ilaha, nindut ang ilaha, kasagaran
nindut man, limpyuhan man pero naaa jud say wa, dili tanan ba ang nituman ba( it is a problem,
in my family we segregated the garbage., then I have a boarding house we separate the
biodegradables and non- biodegradables but some people even though you will rebuke them they
will not follow because as what I have said mostly here are borders then they are busy that the
reason why. We have inspection in the boarding houses if they follow mostly cooperate but not
all.)

I6 . Naa man gyud nindot jud diba sa atoa e compair nato sa atong kaugalingun
naa tay gustong usbon sa kaugalingun dipendi nato dipendi sa taw, unya atong e basi sa parte sa
basura same lang gihapon na sa imong kaugalingun kay unsa kang klase manglimpyo diha mao
sad na sa imuha niya.( This will be nice if we compare it to our self if we tend to change for our
self if it depends on the people and if we compare it to the waste management it is the same.)

I7 Sa ako lang dili lang sa akong kaugalingun makita namo ang imong kinaiya sa
imung binuhatan kanang pagpanlimpyo normal raman na nato importante lang nga manlimpyo
sa atong personal nga life importante jud na siya( For me it can see in your works on how you
clean it is normal for us to clean, the important is we clean our personal life.)

I8 Naay man mausab kanang mas concern naka sa imong palibut di naka pataka og
labay kay kahibaw na man ka sud usa pa official mi baya ka mao na naay mausab sa imoha
kahibaw naka mo segregate sa malata .(there is a change im now more concern with my
environement I don’t threw my garbage anywhere because Im an official, then you know how to
segregate the biodegradable and non-biodegradable.)

I9 ahh kanang mo lahi sa mga basura sa malata og dili malata. Sa kaugalingon naa
koy nakat.unan bahin sa anang butanga og iyang resulta mao nang di ko pataka og labay kay
makadaot man gud na sa atoa di ba? Daghan man sha epekto kuan baha so dapat masegregate
ta.( Ummm I separate biodegradable to non-biodegradable. In myself I learned about the effect of
it and I didn’t throw garbage anywhere because it will harm am I right. It has a lot of effect like
flood so we must segregate.)
 90

I10 basic nga buhaton like pagsegregate then sa amoa kay tudloan nako akong mga
anak na dili pataka og labay nya then kanang plastic dugay mana malata di ba dili na sunugon
kay makadaot gud na sha sa atoa( Basic work like segregation and then I teach my children not
to threw their garbage anywhere espicially plastic and not to burn it because it is harmful)

2. Being an LGU official how do you consider waste management? In the

community

I1 Ang paghatag og importansya isip public official gihatagan nila og dakong pagtagan kay
mao mani ang numebr na problema dili ra sa pajo kung di sa tibuok kalibutan sa public offical
mao ni ilanngpriority mao na kasagaran maghatag na sila og seminar thorugh namo pinaagi
namo mao na ang katilingbankung sigfe kag hatag o information as a lider mangita kag paagi
makakat.on na sila maakt.on ran na sila thorugh seminar makat.on gyud ra na sila bahala na
sila kung unsa ilang itawag namo moa. inyo nang trabaho dira di na amoa kay wala pa man sila
kahibaw sa balaod gud. pero dire sa pajo kasagaran dire sa amoa kay seminar gud moa na dire
ang taw sa mga taw sa pajo kay educating.(We give importance as a public official, they give
enormous awareness because this is the most problem not only in Pajo but also in the whole
world. In public offcial this is their priority that’s why most of it they will give seminar through
us. That’s why the community, if you always give them information, as a leader you will find a
way that they will learn and through seminar they will learn. I don’t care what they want to call
us. It is your job its not ours because they don’t know yet about the law. But here in pajo most of
us here is seminar that’s why people here are in pajo are educating.)

I2 Sa ako lang dili lang sa akong kaugalingun makita namo ang imong kinaiya sa
imung binuhatan kanang pagpanlimpyo normal raman na nato importante lang nga manlimpyo
sa atong personal nga life importante jud na siya.( for me it is not only in our self but also it will
reflect on your work on how you clean it is normal to clean but in personal aspect also.)

I3 usa sa mga priority namo sha kay tungod kay dili ra kami ang maapektohan ani
daghana ang epekto ani kung di namo ni sha tagaan og pagtagad nya usa duol ra baya mi og
mga big estblishments mao na dapat tagaan namo inig og gahin kay maka affect na sa amoa kay
dagahan man og tourista nga moagi.so ang kumunidad dapat mo cooperate so far ni tabang man
sila sa amoa(one of our priority it is because it is not only us to be affected but others also
because there here we are near big establishments that’s why we must give it a time then the
community must cooperate .)

I4 It’s top of the line namu. Top ogf the line ky nganu kung di maayung
pagsegragate kuan sa solid waste ky masakit baya ta. Top of the line next to drugs then peace
and order natu pag dili maayung pagda.(it is top of our line, if we didn’t segregate the result is
we get sick. It is top of the line next to the drugs then peace and order )

I5 Kuan it’s my challenge ky ahh kuan kanang sa akoang part ahh maningkamut mi
og unsaon namu. Sa pagkakaron nindu-nindut naman ang dinha amu manang nasulbad noh ang
magtapok dirang basura ilabay wala na dili na ky tungud sa amuang paningkamut. Nagbutang
 91

mig mga taw nga mu citation ba. Kung kinsay makadakop, ipatawag diri pabayaron sila, mao na
nga lage maningkamut nga amu jud na shang masulbad ang problema dri sa amuang barangay.
Cooperation.Balig amuang garbage diri nay magkuan daplin sa kalsada nay magsunud nga taga
city. Kuan gyud labi na diri agi-anan mani sa visitors. Ky daghan kaayung hotel dadtu kanang
Shangri-La, Plantaion Bay basta daghan nya kuagi sad si mayor diri, amu jud ng paningkamutan
nga clean jud among agi-anan diri.( it is a challenge in my part kay we will strive hard. Today as
you can see there is an improvement)

I6 well point jud ana no as a barangay official no ang mga taw magpakita ka nga
concern ka sa environment ni active jud ka ba makakita ang taw nga nitabang ka murag ikaw
ang mahimong model pero dili 100% nga mopatoo( my point is we barangay officials we must let
them see that we are active in order that you will be a model but not all of them will follow.)

I7 usa sa mga among gitutukan na aspeto daghan og programa si kap about sa

tubig nga kanang sa kanal naay moreklamo sa barngay aksyunan dayun namo kung asa ang naka
sala amo ngang e educate ang taw labi mag isi nalang ug linabayay sa tubig sa kinaligo nila
moadto na mo kalat so amo nalang ge advise nga kada balay kada balay amo jud e educate nga
magbangag lang himoon nila nga punduhanan sa tubig nga ilang kinaligo adto padong so
nigkapuno ato i bisbis satanom.(one of ouCapt. has a lot of programs about water in the drenage
if there is complaint in the barangay we will take action, then if we determine the accused we will
educate him/her, especially if they will throw their used water, our solution is to advised and
educate them to make a hole then if it will be full then they will use it for watering their plants.)

I8 importante na sha sa akoa lang kay ngano kay kana daghan mana shag epekto
gud. Kung tan.aw on lang nimo daghan ni sha ma cover ba like health magkasakit ta tungod sa
basura na dili matarung og labay in.ana ba (it is important because it cover a lot like health if
you cannot disposed your garbage then it will affect your health)

I9 sa community? makita namo nga kani sya nga problemaha aw taw ra gyud
makasulbad ana kay sa atoa man ang problema kung di ta magpakabana sa atong katilingban
kita ray mag.antos kung makabantay ka tan.awa karon init kaayo mao na ni ang resulta sa atong
pataka og basura so dapat tagaan nato ni sha og importansya labi ang kumunidad dapat
makat.on unsa gyud ba.(community?we see this as a problem that the people can only solve this
if we didn’t give importance to our surrounding we will suffer at the end

I10 sa akoa lang gyud no tagaan ni shag importansya dili lang kay naay rules og
balaod ana dapat hunahuanaon sad sa mga taw sa kumunidad na dapat maglimpyo kay kay
kaayouhan nato na, sa amoa kana sha clean and green kay usa na sa mga advocacy gigahinan
namo na sha og dakong pondo og pagtagan kay ang basura kung dili makolekta manimaho nya
makadot na sha sa atoang officials di ba.( for me we need give attention and importance with this
not for the reason that there is a rules or laws we must think that we did this for our own
advantages, aside from that this is our advocacy we allotted funds and give importance because it
will affect us if we didn’t did our work.)

APPENDIX E

FORMULATION OF CORE MEANINGS

Formulated Meaning
Part I. What are the Experiences of the informants in Implementing
9003?
1.1 Can you describe your positive experiences that you feel
may time nga nakadakop mi transporting ug
garbage, na positive ko ba kay ngano atong time-
ma wala jud mi service kami akoa akong
The informant feel to see the outcome
assistant pagkadakop namo adto pilay fine nila is of their hardwork. (FM1)
56 thousand tranporting of garbage diha ko na
positive kay ngano ara ko nakapalit man kog
nakapalit mi ug echo bike which is na service
namo, kay ang paho dako man kaayo ning eryaha
kay kapoayan man ka mag sige lakaw-lakaw mag
sigeg kuan sa basura (theres a time when we
caught transporting garbage, I feel positive that
time because we have no service I and my
assistant caught that and their fine is 56k I feel
positive that time because that time we buy eco
bike which served as our service )(IDI1)

1.2Can you describe your experiences that you feel unsatisfied?

Sa diri sa amoa sa pajo mostly mga taw diri The informant is being sad that
naanad nalang gyud nga kaming mga taga
barangay na molimpyo why ngano noh kay
mostly of the people were being
among sakyanan kay duha ra kabook ang usa dependent to the garbage collector
kay bagdown ba gyud once ma bag down pud and not cleaning their trash.(FM1)
ang basura wana gyuy manlimpyo bisag
taskforce manakop unta manglimpyo nalang,
.
(Here in our pajo, most people around here rely
to us in cleaning the surroundings, why because
we only have two trucks the other one is bogged
down and once the truck is bogged down there
will be no one will clean) ( IDI1)

Naay koy experience na giitsahan mi ug basura The informant felt that people get
sa barangay kay 2months mi wala kakulekta ug angry if they fail collecting their
basura garbages(FM2)
 93

(I had an experience one time someone throw a

garbage in our barangay because 2months we fail
to collect the garbages,)(IDI 2)

“Naay one time ana nga gikasab.an mi sa mga

taw nagyawyaw sila sa amoa giingnan mi og The informant conclude that most of
mga way mga buhat cge lag dawat og sweldo the resident didnt follow schedule of
kay ganahan nila everyday mi magcollect og collection and always nagged them if
basura naa baya tay schedule dire.”(One time
their garbage will not be collected.
people nagged on us they said that we didn’t did
our work and we keep on having our salary. They
(FM3)
want us to collect their garbage everyday but we
have schedule ) (IDI3)

Part II. Carry out the implementation of R.A 9003 and its
local ordinances?
How did you implement the R.A 9003 law so that people will obey, did you use rewards?
What are these? If they don’t follow it, how did you find ways to make them compliant
with the law? Fines? Imprisonment
unya mas taas among pag edukar nila kay ang
mga taw gud diri sa paho sa ako pang giingun
mosthly nanrabaho niya ,motaas man imong
moral nga anang mga tawhana unsaon mana They want to inform the people about
nimo pag edukar, so kinahanglan mohatag jud garbage disposal so that they will be
kag uras ana nila nga mahibaw sila ug unsa aware and and have knowledge on it
ang basura (then we give rise on educating .(FM1)
because the people here in pajo mostly works.
Your moral will rise because on how you will
educate those people, we must give time about
this in order for them to be inform about
garbage(IDI1)

punishan namo. among suspensuon. They applied several kinds of

among badlungon, pero kana among barangay
punishments like citation and
worker suspensoon unya ang ordinary peoplr
issuehan ug citation( we punish then we suspend
suspension so that the people will
and also rebuke them, if it is barangay worker know their mistakes. (FM3)
then we will suspend him/her and if it’s a non
public official working in barangay we will issue
citation) (IDI3)

They will file a case if to those people

Pero kana man gud dili na namu who are habitually not following the
masakpan tanan ky ilang ibutang sa dalan. garbage disposal. (FM4)
Kung Kapila kanang sigihon nila og kuan if
 94

ever nga sigi among sa ano sa korte, naa mana

sya, okay, filan sila og kaso(Yes, I know that RA
9003 is a solid waste like what I said, segregation
and if they will not follow their will be a citation
The informant will strengthen their
and then everyday collection of garbage twice a
day, if a violator continue his doing and became
campaing and implementation of the
habitual they will be file a case.)(IDI4)
law and awereness to the people in
order for them to knowledgable to the
law(FM8)
give awareness then strict implementation sa
balaod( we will give awareness then strict
implementation of the law)(IDI 8)
III.Constraint the implementers in implementing the R.A 9003 and its
local ordinances
The informant emphasize that people
sa akong pagkaingon ang mga taw dire sa pajo in their area were workers and not
kay workers, naa ra mana sa pagpaedukar sa ila
kung ang taw dili ma edukar magpataka ra
have no time in their garbages (FM1)
gyud ang labay sa basura kung ma edukar na
sha dili na sha magpataka og labay og basura
(IDI1)(like what I’ve said that most of the
people here in Pajo were workers it depends on
them if a person was not educated they will
continue throwing their garbage

Sa akoa lang ang uban taw nagtinapulan lang Theinformant conclude that it is
