Introduction

Significance of the Study:

To have life is a blessing from God and having our natural resources is a gift from him.

Before the humans’ creations, God has even prepared for humans’ place to live in the beauty and

richness of nature for man to continue to live and enjoy life with nature(Salibay, 2008)

The English word ecology is taken from the Greek oikos, meaning house, and thus refers

to our immediate surroundings, or environment. (Ricklefs, 2007)Each ecological system

embodies different kinds of processes from organism to biosphere. Our natural resources is taken

into two types in their category-the renewable which are resources that are placed by natural

processes or essentially inexhaustible in their uses; and the non-renewable resources like the

ores, fossils, and minerals do serve equal importance for the continuity of mankind and other life

forms(Ricklefs, 2007).With this, Hesser (2000) stated that most youth, especially the students

enjoy their study about earth science particular of some environmental issues because they are

curious about the world around them and the planet on which they live. But when our ecology

becomes not balance, some of our natural resources become a history of tomorrow, innovated,

simply do not exist for today’s generation (Emmons, 1997).

A research proposal submitted to Ms. Andrea Noroña in partial fulfilment of the research requirements in ENG 102 (Communication Arts and Skills 2). First semester 2011-2012. De LA Salle University- Dasmariñas, Cavite

Page 3: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

As population continue to increase, the use and consumption of our natural resources

continue to increase geometrically too. It is the fact that people continue to use and enjoy the

riches of their natural resources yet many do nothing to replace their consumption thus impairing

the capacity of people’s environments’ natural resources (Avila, 2006). This is the ironic

scenario.

The shrinking capacity of the Earths’ natural resources may soon the single most

important issue confronting humanity because of the pursuit of industrialization and human

activities. Worldwatch Institute said:

These changes have coincided with an apparent loss of political momentum on environment issues that

governments and the schools demonstrated in recent global warming talks collapsed(Stress, 2002)

Government officials as well as the youth leaders, the schools, different organizations, and all

human races should be concerned that many global ecosystems are in danger[example of this is that

one-quarter of the coral reefs in the world’s tropical oceans were sick or dying (Stress, 2002)].

God is raising a new generation who will participate over his creatures and willing to be

used by God in advancing and expanding his kingdom (Villanueve, 1999) for human beings are

given a certain dominion over all creatures. The holy scriptures declare: “You have made

man/woman lord over the work of your hands, set all things under their feet” (Ps.8:6). God says:

“Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and conquer it” (Gen 1:28). It can rightly be said that all

things were created in the service and use of human beings(Salibay, 2008).

With this, the significance of this study is to achieve its objective about the involvement

of youth leader in nation building, and in nature. To enable youth leaders, particularly in Cavite

whether it is inside or outside the campus, to reach out to the needs of our mother nature into a

simplest way. Has been designed to support the value growth of individuals and groups in

conserving, preserving, and maintaining our ecological balance in different ways

Page 4: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

Lastly, the researcher aims to prove that at the heart of each youth leaders is

transformation. The youth leaders outside the campus such as the SK’s or the Sangguniang

Kabataan, the service team at GK (Gawad Kalinga) or different NGO’s youth leaders, and the in-

campus organization under the CSO-RSO, CSC’s, SCE, and Auxiliary groups become agents of

change and bearers of hope here in Cavite towards the whole world. This journey of

transformation ultimately points people towards building a nation of believers who are of one

heart and one mind who would share their resources to care for our nature and each other so may

the ecology may soon be balance. Now more than ever, the youth should realize that the power

to determine the future of this country is in their hands (Malipot, 2009) for them to become an

improve youth leaders, moreover as a citizen.

Review of Literature:

As the study came to exist the researchers found out that there were lots of filipino youth

leaders who were involved in environmental activities in many parts of the globe.

One of this is in the biennial Tunza International Youth Conference which is all about

UNEP’s global youth forum that brings together young environmentalists, ages15 to 24, from all

over the world to share experiences on the environment (the word “Tunza” means to treat with care or

affection in Kiswahili, a sub-regional language in Eastern Africa). One who attended this forum may not ring a

bell in his country but mention Reinier Tinapay among the 180 participants who attended at the

said event in Leverkusen, Germany. He is a 24 year old from Davao City who ably led in United

Nations Environment Program-initiated gathering and a leader used to head the watershed

Management Youth Council in Davao City. At the article of Buban(2007), Tinapay said that “We

expect that whatever we learn from this weeklong conference, all of us will return to our respective communities and

become beacons of activities as well as motivators for many others to play a part in addressing environmental

challenges,” Tinapay year’s conference focus is climate protection, regenerative energies and

Page 5: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

modern technologies for environmental protection. Tinapay suggested that while technological

and industrial processes are the usual sources of environmental damage; why not also use

modern technology in solving our environmental problems? Indeed this cooperation is important

since everybody should be involved in the area of environmental protection and at the same time

ensuring that the voice of the youth is also heard in political debates. (Buban, 2007)

Another example of youth involvement to nature that makes the US impressed was with

Hanna Esguerra, 20 years of age who has been behind the mangrove rehabilitation of AngPulo

and a former chair of the Sangguniang Kabataan for Quilitisan, had lobbied with her barangay

council to turn AngPulo into an ecological park studded with mangroves. The islet was then

named AngPulo Mangrove Conservation Park and was declared a marine-protected area in

December 2009.Since the project began, the islet is all about mangrove tree-planting activities

and youth camps that espouse environmental preservation. It was also great to see the

participants snorkelling, learning about corals and species, and planting trees(Querubin, 2011).

Although some of our youth leaders was been recognized by different countries, the

youth can be a spark within themselves. There came a study conducted about the involvement of

youth leaders about environmental issues and activities. Arnold (2009) conducted interview research

with young environmental leaders to discover the past influences that they perceive have

contributed to their current involvement in environmental action. In all, 12 young people

participated in semi structured, in depth interviews. They met clear criteria including positive

environmental attitudes, behavior, initiatives, and involvement in multiple spheres of action. The

main self-identified influences on their environmental action were parents, experiences outdoors

in childhood, friends, role models, teachers and youth groups and conference or gatherings.

These results build on and extend previous research on significant life experiences of adult

Page 6: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

environmentalist and also deepen the understanding of the nature and combination of these

influences with young people (Arnold, 2009)

As Buban(2007) stated that although its long-term goal is to encourage the youth to make a

difference in their communities, the youth leaders and young environmentalist should Act

locally but to think globally ,not to think just to their organization but to the whole communities

thinking that they are still their responsibility and beneficiaries (Dodos, 2010). The results of the presents

study may lead to some sociologist believed that the younger generation plays a key role in

sustainable development on our planet and those who are active in environmental protection

today could become the decision-makers of tomorrow. (Buban, 2007). As Querubin (2011) stated

that to have an advocacy of green tourism and also for the all-out community participation in regards

to environmental awareness.

Emmons (1997) defined positive environmental action as “a deliberate strategy that involves

decisions, planning, implementation, and reflection in order to achieve a specific positive environmental

outcome. Arnold(2009) concluded that young generations, are considered as the agents of hope for

the country. A generation who should really do its roles as supporters and helpers in the

development of Physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and above all the spiritual aspects of

every citizen(Arnold, 2009).

As the research proposal is in process, the researcher found out that there are several

youth organizations, implementing different environmental activities.

Since DLSU-D one of his vision is to participate meaningfully in the process of social

transformation by forming God-centered , people-oriented, and patriotic persons who serve as

responsible and professionally competent stewards of God’s Creation. All organizations at

DLSU-D is involve in different environmental activities as part of their outreach activity.

Ruffino (2009) stated on his article that the newly-elected university student council at DLSU-D

Page 7: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

already have its vision on what to bring into line. The council plans on coordinating their

activities with the five-point Lasalian youth agenda on Education, governance, environment,

youth involvement and Lasalian formation.As Ilas(2011) said that USC at DLSU-D are not only

known as events- maker but as transformer of life. Ilas (2011) added that being an adviser in the

council of student organization, its major goal is to unite all student organization through student

activities particularly in education, health, spiritual, and environmental activities.

On the other hand the non-government organization and the SK’s manage their time of

implementing different environmental activities in corresponds to the needs of their community

and for the progress of the entire society.

Therefore, this research proposal is an instrument to study, to determine, to analyze, and

to evaluate, or to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of each youth leaders particularly in

Cavite, who are currently, involve on different organizations whether it is inside or outside the

campus. As the researcher look out to the different studies and researches, the researcher can

now make used the study of the youth leaders who are involved in different environmental

activities in Cavite, as a sampling of the youth leaders who are involve in different

environmental activities in the Philippines and as a pioneer in conducting this kind of research

here at DLSU-D.

Objectives of the Study

This research proposal entitled KALIKASAN (KAbataang LIder KAisa sa KalikaSAN)

In Cavite generally aims to analyze the involvement of youth leader in corresponds to their

organizations regarding to the environmental issues and to our ecological balance. Specifically, it

seeks to 1) identify and examine the factors that influence and affect them in making up some

Page 8: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

project regarding to public’s enjoyment of natural resources. 2) Test and analyze the most

commonly used by the youth leaders in conserving our natural resources and maintain our

ecological balance. 3) Determine and develop the youth’s strategy in having some environmental

project more effective and more efficient for the betterment of our environment economically (of

less in expense).

This research proposal aims to promote camaraderie among youth leaders with the same

goal in saving our environment as well as the researcher through extending their efforts inside or

even outside the university. Also, the researcher aims to practice the University core value of

communion which means of providing service to the nation and to our nature.

All this is made possible by a faith-life characterized by a deep and passionate love for

God and neighbor particularly to the researcher’s target population for an easy and accurate

output. The concrete manifestation of this, is a life dedicated to caring and sharing so that faith,

hope, and love is increased where it is most lacking. This is the life of a brother’s keeper and as

God’s steward in nature and communities.

Time and Place of Study

The study will be conducted on the second semester of 2011-2012. The first draft will be

submitted on August 3, 2011 and the final submission of this research proposal will be on

August 5, 2011. The study is from July 21, 2011 - September 5, 2011 in the Student

Development and Activities Office (SDAO) under the Office of Student Services (OSS), the

Council of Student Organizations (CSO) with some of the 45 Recognized student organizations

(RSO). The University Student Council (USC) including of some 8 College Student Councils

(CSC) particularly in the college of Business Administration; the Student Commission on

Election (SCE), De La Salle University-Dasmarinas, Cavite and some barangays having a

Page 9: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) namely in Brgy. Sta. Fe, Dasmarinas, Cavite, Brgy. San Francisco,

and other barangay that the researcher in accordance of the SK’s approval; different non-

government organizations and different organizations of different university here at Cavite.

Methodology

The research design to be used for this study will be a combination of a two-wave survey,

content analysis and method testing. A ½ -page survey questionnaire in English, with questions

based upon the objectives of the study, will be distributed in accordance of our sampling.

Sampling is the process of selecting units, like people, organizations, or objects from a

population of interest in order to study and fairly generalize the results back to the population

from which the sample was chosen. The advantage of using sampling is to reduce the cost,

greater speed, greater scope, and it is greater accuracy in which it is based upon the researcher’s

objective (Reyes-Zamora & Ladao-Saren, 2008).

In sampling there are lots of methods that can be used but with this research proposal the

best method in sampling that can be used is the systematic random sampling. Systematic random

sampling with a random start is a method of selecting a sample by taking every k th unit from an

ordered population, the first unit being selected at random. The k is called the sampling interval

and the reciprocal 1/k is the sampling fraction (Reyes-Zamora & Ladao-Saren, 2008).The

interval serves as the constant difference between two consecutive numbers in the progression.

The contents of our survey are divided into five parts: 1) interest and influence

assessment, 2) dominance of environmental activities determination, 3) leadership skills

assessment, 4) training developmental skills analysis, 5) recommendation and suggestion

evaluation. This will gauge the effectiveness and efficiency of the environmental projects

implementation. The questionnaire will undergo pre-testing before it is finalized. There will be

Page 10: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

also an interview schedule for president of the university student council in DLSU-D before the

survey is conducted. While the survey from the different officers in different organization

outside or inside the school the session will be recorded for content analysis. Hereafter the

effectiveness and efficiency of the organizations implemented environmental projects will be

formulated based on the survey results and content analysis that will undergo

testing/experimentation during the second wave of the survey.

The research will be conducted at LCDC (Lasalian Community Development Center)

who is responsible for every outreach activity of different organizations inside DLSU-D and part

of this is the activity of building up the nation and the nature outside the university (DLSU-D).

The Environmental Resource Management Center & Campus Development Center (ERMAC) in

having a lot of wisdom regarding environments natural resources and still responsible to every

activities regarding the natural resources inside or outside the campus named DLSU-D. The

campus main library particularly in the social sciences on the second floor; And the archives or

the thesis section on the third floor of the said library.

The officers in different organizations inside DLSU-D particularly the presidents,

different organizations outside DLSU-D specially in GK (Gawad Kalinga) youth service team

and some SK (Sangguniang Kabataan) officers under the used of Systematic random sampling

which is randomly selected at first, and systematically selected with the sampling interval will be

the main respondents of the study. The organization chosen in accordance to the systematic

random sampling are as follows:

Page 11: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

The Systematic Random Sampling

Formula: N/n or 1/kth

1. ABSSOC 9. HRMS 17. COSA 25. FS 33. Outsiders 41. COSSC2. BOMS 10. TLS 20. PATRIOTS 26. FL 34. VOX 42. CIHMSC3. YFC 11. DPS 19. LIFTERS 27. GENSHIKEN 35. JFINEX 43. CBASC4. JMA 12. PLS 20. OAS 28.

CCJE-CSTAG 24. FLUX 32. Silvertongue 40.CLASC

Since the systematic random sampling is randomly selected at first. The researcher preferred to select the

organization SERVE. Using the formula k = { N/n or 1/kth } the researcher can now able to determine the constant

difference between two consecutive numbers in the progression or the interval. Since our population is 45

and approximately the researcher need 9 organizations for the research. Therefore the solution will become

N/n = 45/9 = 5. Thus our kth is 5. Therefore the respondents will be the officer starting randomly at SERVE with the kth

is 5 are the following {SERVE, CBASC, YFC, SK’s, DPMS, Patriots, SIFE, CEATSC, Outsiders (youth

organizations outside DLSU-D)}.

Since one of the researcher’s respondents came from outside of DLSU-D one method of

sampling that he can use is what we called the snowball sampling. It is the process starts by identifying

someone who meets the criteria for inclusion in the study. The respondent is then asked to recommend

others whom they may know who also meet the criteria. For the researcher, snowball is the best method and

very useful when populations are inaccessible or when the target population is very hard to find.

The selection of the organizations will be randomly but still systematically so as to attain

diversity and for the researcher not to be bias to different organization whether it is inside the

campus under the classifications abovementioned and must be a recognized organization in

DLSU-D under the office of the Student Services (OSS); or outside the organization under the

classifications abovementioned and must be recognizes by the government of the Philippines in

Page 12: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

accordance to the Article 2 section 20 about the non-government organization and the provisions

for the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) as part to the Article 2 Section 13 in youth vital role in

nation building(De Leon, 2007).

The interviews and the surveys will be personally conducted by the researcher. Before the

researcher conducts the surveys, there will be an interview schedule with the organizations

selected. To gather data from the organizations, the researcher will make use of an interview

guide which contains the following:

a) What are the factors that influence them in making some environmental activities

b) Commonly used environmental activities and the title of the said activity

c) Strategies for being a good leader

d) The most dominance activity in environmental projects

e) The utilization, evaluation, and implementation of environmental projects

The interview will be used an open and closed question. An open question allows a free

response and a closed question allows only a fixed response in order to measure what is lacking

on the given fixed measure and how the youth leader is knowledgeable in answering about

environmental activities and issues. To measure their active involvement and response by means

of implementing projects of different environmental activities.

The first wave of the survey will be conducted approximately on the fourth week of July,

the usual time after the process of plenty letters and signatories that a researcher should do before

having its interview and survey to the different organizations outside or inside the campus

(DLSU-D) as legitimate organizations and a manner of respect to their organization. The second-

wage of research will be conducted on the second week of August after the analysis and

interpretation of the filled up survey forms or a second wave of determination. The data collected

Page 13: Eng Research Proposal KALIKASAN

will be categorized and tabulated through counts and percentages in the form of graphs, FDT

(Frequency Distribution Table) for organizations and ease of use of the researcher. A

professional statistician will be consulted during her free consultation hours as part of the

advantage of the researcher in currently taking up a statistic subject (MGN 122a) to teach and

guide the researcher to tabulate the data to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the data

synthesized. The content analysis will also be conducted while one of the environmental

activities is enacted. The session will be recorded in a form of pictures in Appendix E (Photo

Documentation) as a proof that they are implementing these environmental projects. The method

which has been finalized will be carried out simultaneously with the second wave of survey, so

as to test if the said implemented projects can be improved. After the second wave of survey, the

same process will happen categorization, tabulation, and analysis. A final method for the

effectiveness and efficiency of Cavite’s youth leaders’ involvement in environmental activities

will be formulated and finalized. All this is made possible by a faith-life characterized by a deep

and passionate love for God and neighbour particularly to the researcher’s target population for

an easy and accurate output.
