in their language. Yet, a gadget is typically any compact, intelligent instrument. In the
employed to carry out a task, a gadget differs from a device or tool. All gadgets have
mechanical, and electrical components. The following are the common categories into
which a variety of gadgets fall. Computer gadgets are small devices used in conjunction
communication gadgets like network cards, smart phones, and modems. Gaming gadgets
are a category of gadgets that enhance the fun and realism of gaming. Medical gadgets
can be found at home, in medical research, hospitals, and laboratories. Some are tailored
Electronic tools that have been transformed into gadgets, aid people in
improving their productivity. Also, social media has had a significant impact on how we
live. They are an important part of the ordinary person's daily life, and we have grown so
accustomed to them that it is difficult for us to fathom carrying out our daily tasks
without them. Using technology in the classroom can help children learn, especially those
with special needs. In many contexts, including high school, college, and global

education, electronic devices are utilized. They are able to categorize various learning
resources and recognize their own learning.Technology has become congenitally tied to
our daily lives. The importance of electronics lies in this. Because there are several clear
In relation to this study, the report's results of the research on how electronic
gadgets affect senior high school student’s academic performance show that SHS
student's usage of electronic devices has a very positive impact on their academic
achievement. They were also quite proficient in using these devices, and they had
excellent study habits. There were no appreciable variations in the effects of gadgets on
SHS student’s academic achievement, proficiency with using gadgets, or study habits.
However, there is also a study about the benefits of not having a gadget, based on
the study of The Benefits of Unplugging from Technology by Optimum. You can find
enjoyment in disconnecting from technology, and you can have the opportunity to
recharge more often. It was also scientifically proven that there are benefits to taking a
break from technology, which can be taken advantage of at any time. There is no specific
time, but the most important thing is having the discipline to know when and how to
disconnect.
The main motivation for researchers performing this study is to ascertain the
effects of not having a gadget among senior high school pupils in order to have a lot

Neutral countries presumed no safety from attacks and invasions, possibly, it can
only occur in theories but not in reality (Yambao, 2022). Safety is a concern of all people
and states, and perhaps, it can only be achieved through public assistance (Mendoza &
Pardo, 2018). Some countries such as Israel, Switzerland, Taiwan, South Korea has an
effectsive and efficient mandatory ROTC program. Know that these countries have
military threats in their land borders (Magallona, 2017). In Switzerland, its entire male
population have their ROTC military training upon reaching maturity, it keeps all of their
population and even infrastructures ready for sudden foreign attacks or invasions
rather than isolation, they must interact with multiple higher level of education specially
in military training programs and due to this, the trainees will be able to recognize their
responsibilities, obligations and being professional when obeying orders. On the other

Meanwhile, in South Korea, the applications for ROTC have a rate of 60%, it is
decreasing every year, it is said that the reason behind this is because of recruitment
difficulties, difficulty in obtaining manpower due to the shortening of the military service
period, insufficient financial compensations, challenges in training the cadets (Kim & Sa,
2022). Based on a book written by Lyons and Masland (2016) named ‘Education and
Military Leadership’, same thing has happened in United States wherein the training
development have face serious problems due to ROTC officials are consistently leaving,
decreasing of ROTC enrollees, and not enough training techniques. Lyons and Masland,
(2016), stated that the recent problems in ROTC is the lack of ability to respond quickly
for needed requirements for the security of the country that is why the program ROTC
was made to prepare the citizens to be an army in case there is a sudden emergency.
Additionally, in America, it is written that some students are eager or are in favor
of their ROTC but some parents are doubtful, they are worried for their children in
joining the program, yet some parents are driven and supports their child in taking part in
Based on the journal of Cistulli and Synder (2018), parents who have military
experience may have already know what decision to give to their children whether they
agree or disagree in letting them join the military, on the other hand other parents who are
still foreign to what military will bring, may result to negative attitude towards their
decision.

youth’s education and its citizen’s safety from health diseases. In result, ROTC is a
formulated system to expand the armed forces that will defend the country for foreign
attacks and invasions (Yambao, 2022). Nevertheless, based on CuUnjieng (2022), the
Philippine ROTC might become a waste of time and money as the participants may not
be trained with actual weapons, real wars, and it is just basic marching around, and
perhaps the program might not be able to achieve its goal which is military preparedness,
and patriotism.

Based on the study of Moore and Swick in 2018, ROTC started when the 3 rd US
president noticed the need to obligate people to be a soldier and military training to be
part in education systems. It is also written that the need for more cadet enrollees paved
the way of ROTC giving scholarships and allowing women to join or attend the program,
after that 29% women participated the training, and for students, the provided ROTC
scholarship gave opportunities for those who does not have an opportunity or chance to
attend college. Today, US ROTC stay as a well and strong training program, for about
275 universities have an ROTC program in them. But eventually, at some schools, ROTC

ROTC is a program that is made for tertiary level schools, providing military training for
students. But based on the results, it was identified that participants of NSTP encountered
From the quantitative research of Panuelos et al. (2019), entitled “The Perception
in Implementation of Mandatory ROTC for Senior High School Students”, his study
respondents came from Makati High School Main and Annex, it is written there that the
youth needs to train several rudiments of basic military activities to be able to protect the
country. He also added that former president Duterte stated that ROTC is needed for
youth would be able to protect their country that is why president Duterte approved a law
in resurrecting ROTC in February 2017. Before NSTP was implemented, ROTC was
taking all over colleges in Philippines but because the program was reported as a place
for abuse and corruption, it was abolished. The researchers also mentioned the 1987
that the country identifies the younger generation have a critical role in the promotion,
protection, and development of the country. It is also written in the research that, students

also added some researches about leadership, where the researches stated that through

Likewise, in the study of Tulao (2019), he’s study is about determining the
neighboring countries, ROTC is served for 2 years while in the Philippines the program

for training were found effectsive in their performance, while other factors such as
management, organization, instruction or directions, and materials for training is does not
significantly foresee the performance of the ROTC cadets. Additionally, even if on the

are the one who will be taking a baccalaureate degree but in the results of his study, the
difference between male and female in taking the degree is nearly balance. Another study

Meanwhile, Pasion (2015) conducted a study at Taguig City University. The protection of
the state is the responsibility of each citizen, ROTC is an expansion of Armed forces of the
Philippine in incidents or situations like wars. He added a research from Lutz and Barlett, their
research evaluated the claims by the officials of ROTC, the result was, Department of Defense
does not perform proper investigation or researches to prove their claims about ROTC military
program effectsiveness and efficiency such as preventing dropouts, and at risk students, they also
explained that DOD or any military branches does not gather data for dropout rates and it is clear
that ROTC can decline students with bad behaviors and low academic achievements. Pasion
(2015) also added information about ROTC in South Korea and Taiwan. The Reserve Officers'
Training Corps is a college-based officer program in South Korea, a training course that was
started in 1961 while The ROTC program in the United States is the model for Taiwan's ROTC in
the 1960s.
The collection of literature and studies above, both foreign and local shows that it is
evident that there is a need to determine the agreeable factors in the implementation of Reserve
Officers Training Corps for senior high school such as the how will they describe their level of
agreeability and the agreeable factors of the implementation. In, addition to that, most literatures
and studies focus more on students’ perspectives and ROTC implementation in college or
universities, less is known on the parents’ perceptions or point of view on the military training
program and the implementation of ROTC for senior high school students.

PRESENTATION OF DATA
This chapter includes the presentation, analysis and interpretation of data which
were drawn from 119 parents and 23 guardians from grade 10 junior high school in
Tinajero National Highschool-Annex, with this, there are a total of 142 respondents.
Data Analysis
The researchers have used mode frequency count to be able to calculate the
provided data from the respondents. After thorough analyzing and interpreting of data,
Frequency Percentage
A. Strongly Agree (SA) 21 (14.8) 15%
B. Agree (A) 51 (35.9) 36%
C. Disagree (D) 24 (16. 9) 17%
D. Strongly Disagree (SD) 46 (32.4) 32 %
DETERMINING THE EFFECS OF NOT HAVING A GADGET AMONG THE

percentage of 15, 51 respondents answered agree (A) with a percent of 36, while 24
participants answered disagree (D) with 16 percent and lastly, there are 46 participants
who answered strongly disagree (SD) with a percent of 32. The results displayed that
option B or Agree (A) has the highest frequency (51) and percentage (36), which means
that more parents or guardian agrees in the implementation of ROTC in senior high
school rather than those who disagree, this supports the findings of the study of Lim et al
in (2021), which stated that more parents support their children or agree with the
enlistment of their children for military training as they can acquire good benefits in it.

outcome said that a lot of parents agrees that ROTC can cause more responsibility
especially in balancing academic activities and training duties, this supports the study of
Mohamed in 2018, entitled ‘Training or Education for Future Officers at Tertiary Level’,
the researcher indicated that even if students will be able to be trained in case of national

C. The other factors that was specified by the respondents, 2 respondents answered
The 2 respondents who answered in the open-ended question which is if they still
have any other factor to share, they can specify it by writing in the blank. The first
respondent said that, “It still depends on the unit or leader in the group, I experienced
ROTC and favorites are observed. They sit around while others work and train”, this was
mentioned in the study of Panuelos et al. in 2015, the researchers mentioned that before
NSTP was implemented, ROTC was taking all over universities but since abused and
corruptions happened, it was discontinued. This can also be applied in the opinion of the
second respondent which stated that “We don’t want ROTC to be implemented in schools
for it might be a tool for the government to use the students for their personal agenda”.
Implications
One of the biggest challenges of the school once the ROTC is implemented is to
meet the expectation of parents and students that they are safe while training. The
assurance to prevent the negative factors and improve the training ground more should be
The school may appoint the appropriate veteran who has experience about
military training or some military personnel since they are the one who has the ability and
knowledge to teach and train us because they’ve been there, before they become a
professional military as they know how to properly discipline and train the students.
ROTC is an educational method that trains the physical and mental abilities of
and ROTC duties must be balanced. It attains the safety of students' mental and physical
stability.
The school may also validate a proper rest day for the students to be able to keep
themselves stay focus on their priorities, duties and have no pressure while being a
student and as a cadet at the same time. Through this, the school and the ROTC training
itself will be able to provide a safe training ground for the students

a war, invasion or sudden foreign attack from other country will occur.
3. The researchers recommend that the training ground for female and male should
handle the training and academic works at the same time, it will also lessen the
pressure and it will be possible for them to balance their duties and keep a good
health.
5. The government or DepEd should assure the parent/guardian of students that the
training ground would be safe and the leaders or officers that will train the students
should be pick out appropriately as they should not abuse but should have fairness in
their actions such as to put the same rules and punishment for both male and female
and for poor or rich. The DepEd or government can prevent this by making law in
regard of this issue wherein both the student and their families can be protected.
