Abstract/Summary

The thesis ―Barangay 681: A Partner in the Implementation of R.A. 9003‖ was written by Haidee C. Lee in partial compliance for the fulfillment of the MBA-JD program of DLSU-FEU Institute of Law. It determined the extent to which Republic Act 9003, specifically the provisions on waste segregation, recycling and composting, is being implemented by the households in Barangay 681. The study was focused on households within Barangay 681 only. A specially drafted survey form was used for this study. The researcher utilized the nonexperimental non-probability method through purposive sampling. The researcher was able to persuade 30 households to participate in the study. The researcher was able to determine that only 37% of the participating households practices waste segregation. This shows that there is low compliance rate in the barangay. The study was also able to determine the reasons why R.A. 9003 is not being implemented by the participating households, namely: non-enforcement by the proper barangay officials of the law, inconvenience and requires additional costs.

The researcher submitted the following recommendations: Barangay Level

Enact a barangay ordinance

National Level
