CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
Rationale
All population groups have a need for a greener environment to meet the long
existence in the earth. The societies today seem to be more mindful of their activities
and choices as the earth face a lot of environmental issues. From New York, to London
down to Tokyo people are looking for ways to help preserve Mother Earth. The global
market and the consumers with the current era of environmental consciousness, see
the green marketing as becoming an important trend. The question of whos to blame
for the alarming changes in our surroundings should not be the major concern. What
matters most now is the collective effort of the people to benefit the once unpolluted
nature. Tanya Hu, author of the planet ark book, Greemology: How to live well, be
green and make a difference, said that even small changes can make a big impact on
the environment.
The famous saying big surprises comes from small packages never fail to
remind us that the simple things we do could make a difference. From segregation to
recycling, these are common and small acts that could contribute to the betterment of
our environment. The tendency of every living thing is to grow and prosper. However,
we put this aside and let the earth die. Inch by inch we try to make a difference by
destroying where we are actually living. We burn plastic, we pollute every body of water,
and we do the wrong thing instead of the right one. And so reality hit us. The neglect of
the environment now brings its wrath upon the populace such as devastating floods
caused by the rapid proliferation of plastic materials which clog the different waterways.

2
The researchers wanted to know how the local government tries to resolve such
issue and hence have come to know of the Anti-Plastic Ordinance. The Provincial
Ordinance No. 2011-3 banning the use of plastic bags, polystyrene, and other synthetic
packaging materials took effect last June 1, 2011 in the entire province of Albay. It was
the start of the slogan Green Albay. Respectively, Executive Order No. 18 series of
2012, Legazpi Citys localize version of the Provincial Ordinance, was implemented last
July 12, 2012. Such implementation of an ordinance conveys to people that better we
act now before everything is else is far too late for the human race and Mother Nature.
The implementation of the said ordinance enthused the researchers to conduct
the study entitled, Assessment of the Rate of Awareness and Adaption of Residents of
Selected Barangays in Legazpi City on the Anti-Plastic Ordinance.
The researchers deem that the conduct of the study will be of importance to
assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the ordinance and that the intended
outcome of the study will be of help to the local government of Legazpi City as a form of
feedback to the result of the Anti-Plastic Ordinances implementation.
Specifically, the researchers believe that the results of this study will be of much
help to the following:
ANIMAL KINGDOM. Plastic bags kill animals. Many animals ingest plastic bags,
mistaking them for food; the toxic materials remain intact that it kills them. With less
plastic there will be less threat to the kingdom animalia.
COMMUNITY. The study will basically help the society become aware of the
ordinance that contributes to the preservation of the Mother Earth. This will also give
each of the society a healthy place to live in.

3
LOCAL GOVERNMENT. With this study the government will be helped by the
evaluation of the anti-plastic adaption. This will help them supervise the ordinance that
may contribute to the Green Albay.
STUDENT. As early as possible, the study will help the youth become a part of
changing the world to a better one. This will also help them take action of the worlds full
of plastic bags and reduce them by this ordinance.
ECOSYSTEM. The bottom line of this study is to help the ecosystem. It is our
primary responsibility to preserve our environment for the future generations. It is of
course with the aid of the human activity to maintain what has been started by the first
people that went green. All we have to do is to follow them.
ESTABLISHMENTS. The study will further evaluate the major establishments in
Legazpi City at what rate do they adjust to the anti-plastic ordinance.
NEIGHBORING PROVINCES. The study will help Legazpi City become a role
model to their neighboring province since it is the first province in Region V to
implement the ordinance. This will then spread to the entire Philippines to have a one
movement for a cause.
FUTURE RESEARCHERS. This study will serve as a guide to the upcoming
student that will have the same nature and scope as of the present study.
MANAGEMENT FIELD. The study will also help the management field as to
identifying the program evaluation of the government and to further see the effects of
the implementation of the program.

4
Statement of the Problem
This study will aim to determine the rate of awareness and adaption of residents
of selected barangays in Legazpi City regarding the implementation of the Anti-Plastic
Ordinance. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:
a) Civil Status
b) Age
c) Sex
d) Barangay
e) Monthly Income
f) Occupation
g) Educational Attainment
2. What is the level of awareness and adaption on the Anti-Plastic Ordinance of the
residents in the selected barangays of Legazpi City?
3. What is the relationship of the profile of the respondents to their level of

awareness and adaption on the Anti-Plastic Ordinance?

4. What are the problems/difficulties encountered by the residents with the
implementation of the Anti-Plastic Ordinance?
5. What are the residents recommendations to remedy the problems they

encounter with the implementation of the Anti-Plastic Ordinance?

5
Background
Many studies and literatures, both local and foreign were considered
important in understanding the awareness and adaption of the Anti-Plastic Ordinance
which is the subject of the study.

Related Non-Research Works

Waste management has become a huge problem in the Philippines. Many

landfills are filled to its capacity and forced to close. Take for example the one we have
in Peafrancia in Daraga. There is always a clamor for new landfill sites as the number
of garbage continues to grow. The countrys recycling rates are low and cannot
compete with the enormous amounts of waste discarded by Filipinos each day.

Based on The Garbage Book of Asian Development Bank published in 2004, in

the next thirty years, Metro Manila is projected to generate over seventy million tons of
solid waste.

Notice that whenever you go to the grocery store the bagger puts all your
groceries inside a plastic bag and the next thing you know you are throwing it away in
the garbage can. In a research conducted, an individual using plastic carrier bag in a
grocery only uses it in about twelve minutes. Because the instance he unload his things
from the bag it goes nowhere but in the garbage can. The discarded plastic bag will
most probably end up in a landfill. That single plastic bag used only once may take
between five hundred to one thousand years before it breaks down.

6
The anti-plastic ordinance or Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) Ordinance 2011-3
was passed and signed by Albay governor Joey Salceda last February 21, 2011,
prohibiting the use of plastic bags, polystyrene, and other synthetic fabrics as packaging
materials for goods sold by supermarkets, groceries, stores, and other commercial
establishments in Albay.

Almost one year now and the effect can be viewed day by day. As typhoon
comes back and forth to the Philippines we can notice that Bicol region is, shall we say,
avoided by it. Is it just a mere luck or is it because of the strong faith the Bicolanoes
have for our Lord? And who knows next day we may be living in a place with fresh air,
cleaner environment. Just who knows?

Furthermore, the ordinance carries a fine ranging from P1,000 to P5,000

including the cancellation of the business permit.

Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said the adaption of an anti-plastic ordinance came on
the heels of flooding that hit the city and the towns of Polangui, Oas, and Libon which
are considered as the flood plains of the province.

He said that the flooding problem may be attributed to the proliferation of plastic
materials that clog river channels, canals, drainage system, and other waterways.

Environmentalists claim that the use of plastic bags and other synthetic
materials, though they are one of the modern conveniences, are responsible for causing
pollution and harmful effects to the environment.

7
That is why it is visible that colorful eco-friendly bags are now displayed for sale
while some are given free by supermarkets, groceries, and other commercial
establishment after the ban on the use of plastic bags took effect and went on full
throttle this month in the entire province of Albay.

Board Member Arnold Embestro, the Committee on Environment chairperson of

Legazpi City said we appealed to the public to use or bring along during their shopping
alternative bags made of paper, cloth, abaca, buri, and other recyclable and
environment-friendly materials, this bags are their alternative to the usual plastic bags.

Legazpi City is made up of 70 barangays with 182,201 inhabitants according to

the 2010 census making it the largest city in the region. In a place as big as this we
might dont want to imagine what would happen if the city will be dumped by tons and
tons of plastic bags.

Another milestone environment ordinance signed by Salceda this month was the
Albay Smoke Free Ordinance, authored by Provincial Board Members Herbert Borja
and Niel Montallana. Salceda signed Provincial Ordinance 10-2012, otherwise known
as An ordinance regulating the use, sale, distribution and advertisement of cigarettes
and other tabacco products, imposing penalties therefore in the province of Albay.

The bottom line is both Ordinances measure aims to protect and promote the
right to health of the people and to the betterment of the environment. Both are for
greener Legazpi City.

8
The anti-plastic-bag movement scored its first big victory in 2002 in other
countries, when officials in Bangladesh banned them because they were found to be
clogging storm drains and causing floods. That same year, Ireland tried to stem its litter
problem by imposing a tax on plastic bags, leading to a dramatic reduction in their use.
As people began to realize just how many plastic bags were out thereand how
uniquely suited they were to fly through the air, float out to sea, and sit in landfills for
centuriesthe movement gained momentum. Bans and tax programs were
implemented around the world over the course of the following decade, including in
Asia, Europe, and Africa. In 2007, San Francisco became the first American city to
enact a ban; it was followed shortly thereafter by Los Angeles and, earlier this year, by
Seattle.
Los Angeles is becoming the nation's largest city to ban plastic bags at grocery
stores in an increasingly widespread move to conserve the environment.
Los Angeles, with nearly 4 million residents, will be the nation's largest city to ban
carry-out plastic bags, said Enrique Zaldivar, director of the city's Bureau of Sanitation.
The city uses 2.7 billion single-use bags a year.
"It's important to conserve the environment. The reusable bag will do that," said
Enrique Zaldivar, director of the city's Bureau of Sanitation.
On the Philippines hand as of September 1, 2012, Quezon City becomes the
latest city within Metro Manila to implement new rules related to the use of plastic bags.
While other cities have implemented ordinances that outright ban plastic bags, the QC
measure is a bit more innovative since it goes down a different path.

9
First, the simpler ordinance is SP-2130, which requires all business
establishments that use plastic bags to have clear and prominent signage encouraging
shoppers to bring their own reusable bags.
The ordinance also requires that people who use reusable bags should be
eligible for some sort of a redeemable points system and should be allocated a priority
lane for checkout. Those plastic bags that do not have holes, handles or drawstrings
such as those used to wrap fresh produce are exempt from the fee.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), on the other hand
expects the seventeen local government units of Metro Manila to ban the use of plastics
and styrofoam in packaging and handling of food and non-food items in all
establishments, markets and sari-sari stores by 2013. Local government units have
less than a year to fully adhere to this metro-wide plastic ban.

"I expect next year all the seventeen LGUs (sixteen cities and the lone
municipality of Pateros) would implement a similar ban. Right now, after Muntinlupa,
Las Pinas followed suit in imposing the ban on plastics. Makati made a similar
announcement, though the citys total ban takes effect next year yet. Similar moves are
under way in Taguig and Quezon City," MMDA chairman Francis Tolentino said.

Some cities and municipalities outside Metro Manila have already begun their
own no plastic campaign including Los Baos in Laguna, Carmona in Cavite, Sta.
Barbara in Iloilo and Lucban in Quezon.

10
Los Baos, Laguna, has prohibited the use of plastic bags for dry goods and use
of Styrofoam since June 2, 2008 in compliance with Municipal Ordinance 2008-752. Los
Baos has also regulated the use of plastic bags for wet goods. Compliance to the
ordinance is strictly enforced and violators face corresponding penalties.
When you go to Los Baos, its common to see people carrying brown bags or
reusable fabric bags. The cooperation of the residents is a great factor to the success
of the plastic-less endeavor. Los Baos has become a good example for solid waste
management.

Based on Manila Bulletin online, six months after the plastic bag and Styrofoam
ban implemented in Muntinlupa, the city government has observed lesser flooding and
decreased volume of collected garbage.
Lets now take action and begin the anti-plastic ordinance in ourselves. Let us not
wait for the grass to grow. Let us not wait for our local municipality to implement a
plastic ban policy for even at our own cost we can practice it. Let us contribute in our
own little ways to save the planet.

Related Studies
Implementation of

Ordinance in Support of Climate Change Mitigation, an

undergraduate thesis by Quisam et. al. (2009), attempted to determine the ordinances
implemented by selected municipalities in the province of Albay in support of climate
change mitigation and found out that two of their four selected municipalities almost has

11
no ordinance with respect to their study. Hence, the four municipalities should
completely fulfill the requirements of environmental protection in order to mitigate and
best adapt to the changing climate.

The study of Pealosa (2003) stated that, several problems encountered by the
barangay officials in the implementation of the ordinance are: specific in sufficient
guidance of the parents among children and lack of funds to be used in the realization
of the ordinances. The study concluded that population, geographical condition and
living conditions are factors to be considered by barangay officials in the extent of
implementation of the ordinances.
Nuez (2009), in her study Solid Waste Management in the Households of
Selected Barangays of Legazpi City: An Analysis shared that majority or 69% of the
respondents regularly performs planning and controlling procedure of waste
management.
A study conducted by Estonato and Paje entitled Study on the Legazpi City
Ordinance Adopting the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management System stress out
that the effectiveness of the ordinance in terms of reducing the cost of collection and
disposal of solid waste cannot be determined due to the lack of data. It is obviously
stated that in terms of social awareness and support in the implementation of the
ordinance there had been no problem.
Ables (2008), in her undergraduate thesis study, The Implementation of the
Legazpi City Smoke-Free Ordinance concluded that the city government has

12
manifested a strong political will to regulate smoking in the city of Legazpi through a
combination of positive and negative motivational approaches. It is further said that the
respondents viewed that the ordinance is very relevant to community development and
is in adherence to human rights.

According to Gevera (2006) studies shows that paper recycling saves up to 54%
in energy use, plastic recycling saves petroleum and landfill space, aluminum recycling
reduces water pollution by up to 70%, car battery recycling lead and battery electrolyte
from pollution.
In an undergraduate thesis study entitled, Assessment of the Clean Bicol Rivers:
Salog River Program of Sorsogon City by Kekim (2008) found out that the Clean Bicol
River: Salog is a continuous action of the City Government of Sorsogon as part of the
Salog River Management and Rehabilitation Plan. However, some of the activities
under the project are not sustained by the existing program and only on its startup
stage.
Advincula (1999) studied the Factors in the Effectiveness

of Clean Green

Program as Perceived by Residents of Bulan Sorsogon. He then stressed out that the
Sannguniang Bayan is concerned with the protection of natural resources putting it on a
higher scheme of priorities. They created varied ordinances and resolutions pertaining
to environmental issues. This research wanted to learn the how-tos of the Legazpi
Local Government Unit (LGU) with respect to the ordinances in relation to Solid Waste
Management.

13
Camacho, et.al. in their study Assessment of the City Ordinance issued by the
City of Legazpi Regarding the Adaption of Certain Measure to the Environment, aim to
assess the ordinances issued by Legazpi City regarding the adaption of certain
measures to safeguard the environment.

Camacho et.al. found out that there are three existing ordinances in terms of
destructive methods of fishing and one to the prohibition of polluting the soil and
waterways with toxic wastes and two were gathered in terms of black smoke emission.
On the other hand, the study still reveals the problems encountered in the
implementation of each ordinances.

It is therefore concluded by Camacho et.al. in their study that dissemination and

motivation campaign in support to ordinances should be more intensified to help the
publics awareness as to what they ought to do to help preserve the planet. It is also
advised in their study that supervision of the existing programs and projects should be
undertaken to determine the relation to the objectives to the ordinances. In addition to
the study, the ordinances should start at home. The public must give more attention to
environmental issue and be more concern and participate in saving the environment.
Waging on ecological wars calls for some draconian measures. They have been
deaf anyway to appeals and reminders on not to destroy the environment. This time, the
spirited campaign to flex some muscles and show some guts on its ultimatum,
Camacho et.al. 2009.

14
Synthesis
This study will tackle on the Anti-Plastic Ordinance implemented by the Local
Government of Legazpi City. The related and unrelated studies gathered provided the
researchers helpful insights and knowledge for the present study.
The related studies focus on the different ordinances such as the Solid Waste
Management and the ordinances on Prohibition of Polluting the Waterways which are
implemented in relation to Environmental Issues of a specific barangay(s), Municipality
or City. Furthermore, the related studies discuss about how proper implementation of
the ordinances affects the awareness and compliance of the different constituents of the
barangay(s), Municipality or City.
The studies of Camacho et.al, Pealosa and Ables are somehow related to the
present study since it tackled or talked about the compliance of the residents on the
ordinances implemented by the Local Government as well as the Barangay officials. But
the previous studies are different to the present study since their focus is on the
different ordinances like the Solid Waste Management and Smoke-Free Ordinance.
While the present study focuses on the Anti-Plastic Ordinance of the Legazpi City.
Moreover, the related studies where in some manner bear significance to the
study conducted because it deals with the level of effectiveness of the enacted
ordinances and the level of awareness of the residents of some barangays and
municipality in accordance to the implemented ordinances.

15
Gap to Be Bridged by the Study
From the related and unrelated studies gathered and analyzed, it appeared that
none of these were exactly the same as the present study. Although the problems of
some studies have slight similarities from the present study, the focus of the present
study is on the Anti-Plastic Ordinance of the City of Legazpi and also the assessment
of the awareness and adaption of the residents of the selected barangays of Legazpi
City on the said ordinance.

Theoretical Framework
The theoretical foundation which the researchers will anchor from is the
SOAR (Situation, Organization, Activities and Results) peak performance model by
Norman R.F. Maier. According to this model, Maier explains that an interaction between
the Situation and the Organization leads to Activities that ultimately lead to Results.
In relation to the study, with the rampant proliferation of plastic materials that clog
river channels, canals, drainage system, and other waterways causing floods to
different places in Albay, the local government adopted and implemented Provincial
Ordinance No. 2011-3 otherwise known as the Anti Plastic Ordinance of 2011. In this
study, the level of awareness and adaption of the residents will show their support to the
governments advocacy in protecting and preserving the environment. Furthermore, the
rate of awareness of the residents can be used to determine the effectiveness of the
ordinance if its desired results are achieved.

Figure 1. Theoretical Framework

Conceptual Framework
The basis for conceptualizing the assessment of the rate of awareness and
adaption of the residents of selected barangays in Legazpi City on the Anti-Plastic
Ordinance is to determine the effectiveness of the Anti-Plastic Ordinance.
The local government tries to resolve the environmental issue concerning the
propagation of plastic bags, polystyrene, and other synthetic packaging materials that
become nuisance in bodies of water and various waterways through the implementation
of Provincial Ordinance No. 2011-3 (Anti-Plastic Ordinance).
The level of awareness and adaption of the residents will be used to know how
they are affected by the implementation of the ordinance and to determine if there are
any problems encountered and the residents recommendations in relation to the AntiPlastic Ordinance. As such, this will serve as a form of feedback to the local
government in knowing if the desired result of the ordinance is met. Furthermore, that
will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Anti-plastic ordinance.

Definition of Terms
For the better understanding, the following terms are defined conceptually and/or
operationally used in the study.
Anti-Plastic Ordinance also known as Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP)
Ordinance 2011-3. It is an ordinance which prohibits supermarkets, groceries, stores,
and other commercial establishments to use of plastic bags, polystyrene, and other
synthetic fabrics as packaging materials for goods sold. Operationally, this is the
ordinance assessed in this study.
Awareness refers to the knowledge or understanding of a subject, issue, or
situation. Operationally, this refers to the level of the respondents response to the AntiPlastic Ordinance.
Implementation refers to the process of putting a decision or plan into effect.
Operationally, this pertains to the process to make the respondents aware of the AntiPlastic Ordinance.
Ordinance refers to a law enacted by a municipal body, such as a city council
or county commission (sometimes called county council or county board of supervisors)
which govern matters not already covered by state or federal laws. This study follows
the same definition.
Plastic it is a synthetic material made from a wide range of organic polymers
such as polyethylene, PVC, nylon, etc., that can be moulded into shape while soft, and
then set into a rigid or slightly elastic form. This study follows the same definition.
Problem it refers to a matter that causes worry. In this study, it refers to the
difficulties which the residents encountered in the implementation of the ordinance.

20
Profile it refers to a description of a person, group, or organization that
contains all the details that someone needs. In this study, it refers to a set of data
portraying the significant features of the respondents.
Respondent it refers to someone who answers questions, especially on a
questionnaire. In this study, it refers to the selected barangays of Legazpi City which is
the source of data of the researchers.

CHAPTER 2. METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study is a quantitative descriptive type of research that will utilize the crosssectional survey design. It is quantitative-descriptive because it shall provide an account
of the responses of the participants to Ordinance No. 2011-3 otherwise known as the
Anti-Plastic Ordinance using numerical values. Its design is cross-sectional survey
because the responses shall be collected at a qualified single point in time with the
purpose of describing its identified population, through the sample as to the rate of
awareness and adaption of the residents on the Anti-Plastic Ordinance and thus also
evaluate the ordinances effectiveness.

Sampling Design
This study shall employ the simple random sampling design where the sample
size shall be computed using the formula for estimating population proportion at a
margin of error of 0.07.

21
