A survey was carried out among 84 respondents from employees and students of Laguna State Polytechnic University Santa Cruz Campus. Most of the respondents are students of CHMT,CBAA, CSS, and Engineering, with some LSPU Personnel/Employee.

With the help of a Statistician, the researcher utilized and analyzed the data. Frequency and Percentage, Mean and Standard Deviation are used to analyze and assess the level of implementation as well as the demographic profile used in the study
