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.
