Statement of the Problem

Specifically, this research will seek to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of practices, challenges, and extent of

implementation on dumping of electronic gadgets among stakeholders?

2. Are there significant differences in the practices, challenges, and

extent of implementation on dumping e-waste among stakeholders?

3. What program will be developed to enhance the practices, challenges, and extent

of implementation on dumping of used electronic gadgets among stakeholders?

Hypothesis of the Study

•Based on the objectives of the study, a hypothesis was formulated:

1. There is no significant difference in the practices, challenges, and

extent of implementation on dumping of used and malfunctioning

electronic gadgets among the stakeholders.

Definition of Terms

•Electronic Waste electronic products nearing the end of their "useful

life” (World Design Organization, Glossary Index, 2022

• Stakeholders. It refers to a person, group or organization with a vested

interest, or stake, in the decision-making and activities of a business,
organization or project (Barney, 2022)
• Practices. It refers to the actual application or use of an idea, belief,
(Webster Dictionary).
• Challenges. It means to dispute the truth or validity of a certain issue
(Collins Dictionary)
• Extent of Implementation. It is the range, distance or magnitude that is
covered, affected, or included in an implementation. (Meriam-Webster
Dictionary)
Significance of the Study

• Members of PNP Pampanga. The study may reveal and give an idea about how
the PNP in the Province of Pampanga can adequately address and combat
these environmental problems regarding e-waste
• Non-Uniform Personnel. This study will also serve as an inspiration to
the above personnel to ignite their endeavor to improve for a more
systemati

• Other Researchers. This study will give rise to different opinions,

guidelines, ideas, discernments, and analytical skills for other
researchers
Scope and Limitation of the Study

• This study will only focus on the practices, challenges, and extent of
implementation of dumping of used among the stakeholders within the
Province of Pampanga.
• study will only consist of randomly selected members of the Philippine
National Police assigned in the Province of Pampanga

and reliability tested

•Using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Other problems that are
not related to the practices, challenges Other problems that are not
related to the practices, challenges implementation on dumping of used
electronic gadgets will be excluded in this study. In addition, places and
areas outside Pampanga will not be included as well.
•Finally, this study will only be conducted for a period of five (5) months
or less within Pampanga

• important to educate the next generation about the correct handling of e-
waste to raise awareness among them (Sadik, et al.,2017)
• repair, storage, selling, recycling, and disposal like regular household
waste. Consequently, it will be harder for the government to educate the
public about e-waste management (Chen & Yee, 2011).
Table 9. Proposed Program to Enhance Practices, Challenges, and Extent of
Implementation for E-waste Dumping

Proposed Program/Activities Descriptions

 Said office will handle any electronic gadgets or other electronic equipment
Creation of a government office that will handle an Electronic Waste Facilities that maybe contaminated with chemical, or radioactive substances and will
release a clearance for possible disposal or recycling.
 Program/ activities will include the following:
1. Information drive about disposal or recycling of e-waste
2. Purchase Multi bins with designated color for easy segregation of e-waste.
Creation of a program/activity in an offices or department for E-waste recycling
3. All rooms will have a designated place for the multi bins.
4. Proper coordination with the Maintenance office is needed for an easy and
convenient way of disposal of e-waste.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary of Findings

1. overall practices on dumping of e-waste among stakeholders is indicative

of “Always” as the level of practices towards government regulations
2. Lastly, the extent of implementation implied “Fully Implemented” that
means the provision or condition is very extensive and functioning
perfectly
3. researcher proposed the program or activities based on the computed
results towards practices, challenges, aextent of implementation towards e-
waste dumping
4.The offices of the identified government agencies must continue to
implement electronic waste segregation and separation of collection adhered
to/by the community as mutual cooperation to the implemented programs of
the LGUs.
5.Examining and evaluating the private and public e-waste management system

to carry out the requirements effectively and efficiently in the

implementation of environmental management.

6.Designating priority funding for local government units to meet the needs
in implementing the goals
7. Allowing the Local Government Units (LGUs) to enact multiple ordinances
to improve the Republic Act 9696’s policy framework on waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE)
8. Building a strong partnership with the public sector, the commercial
sector, non-governmental organizations, and the community to implement
innovative policies
• 9. For more efficient and effective implementation PNP Floridablanca, PNP San
Fernado , and Porac, with the participation of other local government units, the
following are recommended to be studied by future researchers:

a. revisiting the environmental laws and their impact on the community.

b. examining the different programs and offices in protecting the environment, and

c. aligning extension activity based on research outputs using qualitative or mixed

design for future researchers.
