OBJECTIVE

General Objective:
Generally, the present study aims to determine the perspective of Bacolod City National High
School senior high school students regarding the use of metal straws and bamboo straws as substitute
for plastic straws to lessen the plastic wastes and encourage the students to support eco-friendly
products.
Specific Objectives:
Specifically, it aims to:
To determine the profile of senior high school students when grouped according to:
sex
grade level
academic track
To determine which among the metal straw and bamboo straw is preferred by the senior high school
students grouped into different variables.
To determine significant responses from students regarding their preferred type of straw.
Statements of the problem:
What is the profile of senior high school students when grouped according to:
sex
grade level
academic track
Which among the metal straw and bamboo straw is preferred by senior high school students when
grouped into different variables?
What are the significant responses of senior high school students regarding their preferred type of straw.

THEORETICAL FRAME WORK

MANILA - Senator Risa Hontiveros has filed a bill seeking a ban on single-use plastic straws and stirrers in
the food service in a bid to reduce waste that end up in landfills and bodies of water.
Hontiveros, in a statement, said her Senate Bill No. 1866 bans establishments from offering consumers
single-use plastic straws and stirrers, the most common plastic products found in oceans.
The proposed law also mandates food establishments and other service providers occupying fixed
spaces, such as sari-sari stores, to prominently display signs informing their customers of their no plastic
straw and stirrerpolicy.
In drinking beverages outside the customs of home, restaurants, fast food chains, take out, fine dining
etc. often serve their drinks accompanied with plastic straws. This goes to show how easy people dispose
single used plastic, if not thrown properly inside the trash bin these wastes end up in the streets.
Bacolod City National High School is undergoing a no plastic policy in school grounds. Due to this
scenario students are no longer allowed to bring any type of plastic inside the premises. Even the
vendors inside the canteen are prohibited to use non-reusable plastic containers.
The correlation of this theory to the current problem is if small practices like this are done inside the
school premises, students are able to forbid themselves in using plastic straws outside. This theory
focuses on banning the single used plastic mantra to support an eco friendly environment.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

This study aims to find out the perceptions of the senior high school students in Bacolod City National
High School under the respective academic strands; STEM, (Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics) ABM (Accountancy and Business Management) and HUMSS (Humanities and Social
Sciences) regarding the usage of metal straw and bamboo straw as the replacement for plastic straws for
a more eco-friendly approach. This research study would be conducted between August 2019 and
October 2019

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study will benefit the following subjects.
Students
Environment
Marine Life
These following subjects will benefit from this study in the case of:
The students,they will be able to find out on what is the most reliable and effecient kind of straw to use.
They can contribute on reducing on the use of plastic straws.It can give the ideas and can lead to
innovate for the benefit of the most individuals.
Environment, in conducting this study we have our main goal to attain and that is to reduce or prevent
the rampancy of using plastic straws.Plastics, espicially plastic straw are one of the causes that our
environment is suffering on the plastic waste management.By this study, we can recommend them to
use other kinds of straws rather tha plastiespeciallyc ones.
Marine life, it is widely spreading that plastic straw once harmed an innocent sea turtle.On the other
hand,marine life will be highly benifited with our study for the reason that using metal or bamboo straws
will be more effecient because it is said that it can be recycled and is biodegradable.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Perceptions- Perception has sometimes been defined as "the consciousness of particular material things
present to sense."Perception is as a matter of fact always a larger thing than this definition would
immediately imply; because we are always aware in the "fringe,"in the background of consciousness, of
sense activities other than those we speak of as being perceived, especially those connected with the
internal operations of our own organism. Perception as psychologists describe it, is therefore, like
sensation, something of an abstraction.
( James Rowland Angell 2007 )
Operationally, this is the perspective of the students regarding the usage of metal straws and bamboo
straws as the substitute for plastic straws
Use- to do something with an object, machine, person, method. in order to accomplish a task or do an
activity.
Operationally this talks about the purpose of straws
