ABSTRACT: The Republic Act 9292 (Electronics Engineering Law
of 2004), DILG Memorandum Circular 2013-01, and the Philippine Electronics Code
regulate the electronics engineering profession and mandate its practice
through a defined set of standards. Using the descriptive type of research with
frequency methods, weighted mean, and data correlation approaches in analyzing
data, the researchers performed a study on the awareness and implementation of
these law and regulations on all the 32 local government units in Nueva Ecija
and found out that about half of the respondents were aware, but only few have
complied in implementing them. Additionally, regulation of electronics works
and activities were also tested according to the standards of Philippine
Electronics Code with a four-point Likert Scale which resulted to an over-all
mean of 1.95 which is translated to an interpretation of “Sometimes” which means the LGU respondents
abide by the standards occasionally. Moreover, the relationship of LGU classes
and the number of electronic systems and establishments in their jurisdiction
with their awareness on the said law and regulation were tested using
Chi-square and Spearman’s Rank respectively which brought no association and no
correlation general results.
