Abstract:This study determined the status of Master in Public Administration and Doctor in Public Administration graduates of the University of Northern Philippines. It also elicited feedback from the graduates on school-related factors and curriculum, faculty, and school facilities. The study used a descriptive-quantitative method using a questionnaire to gather data. The frequency, mean, and percentage were the statistical tools applied in the interpretation of data. Results show that most of the graduates were already employed in the government service enjoying permanent status but occupying the rank-and-file position. The completion of a graduate degree increased the self-confidence, competence, and productivity of the graduates. They strongly recommended that the program is appropriate for government employees interested to pursue graduate studies. In addition, the graduates have a very high level of satisfaction with their curriculum, faculty, and facilities. On the other hand, suggestions for improvements may be considered particularly the classrooms, comfort rooms, internet, classroom ventilation and the limited reading resources in the library.

Documentary analysis revealed that the University development goals, with feasible, practical, and doable activities, are allegiance to all the goals of the Philippines' AmBisyon Natin 2040 and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Other state universities and colleges may replicate this research undertaking to have a written account and inventory of their endeavors as a testament of compliance and commitment to achieving the goals of AmBisyon Natin 2040 and SDGs

Abstract:Improper household waste management poses significant environmental and health risks, emphasizing the importance of public awareness and sustainable practices. This study assessed the awareness and practices of household waste management among 106 residents of Barangay Borobor, Sto. Domingo, Ilocos Sur form March 2018 to March 2021. It examined awareness and practices related to segregation, reduction, reuse, recycling, and disposal and analyzed the relationship between residents’ profiles, awareness levels, and waste management practices. A descriptive-correlational design was employed, with data collected through validated survey questionnaires. Results showed that residents were knowledgeable about waste management, particularly segregation and reuse. However, challenges were noted in the implementation of disposal and recycling practices. Correlation analysis indicated no significant relationship between residents' profiles and their awareness, but awareness levels were significantly linked to specific practices such as segregation, reduction, and reuse. The study found that while residents are intensely aware of proper waste management, practices require improvement through targeted interventions. Strengthening barangay-led initiatives, such as waste management committees and educational campaigns, and fostering partnerships with local organizations to promote sustainable practices are highly recommended. The barangay council is encouraged to institutionalize household waste management through ordinances and incentivize active community participation. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of improved waste management practices and strategies for enhancing community engagement.
