revealed that the above-mentioned socio-demographic profiles have a significant effect on their wililngness to act positively. Similar to this, a study of Niringiye and
Omortor (2010) in Uganda showed that âge has an impact on their wiilingness to
contribute for improved solid waste management.Table 7. Corrélation analysis of the respondents' socio-demographIc profiles

variables.
On the other hand, farm manager expressed greater willingness to produce
biogas than the farm owner.
Meanwhiie, âge does not have corrélations to respondents* behaviour, value, and willingness to sell. Conversely, sex is positively correlated to animal waste recycling value identification; findings revealed that more maie respondents believe that AWR is conducive to environmental protection, and agree that it is good for health.
Additionally, it is interesting to note that married respondents have a positive connotation of producing biogas, and that they consider AWR as a conducive
technology to environmental protection.
Educational attainment has a positive corrélation with the respondents*
value, behaviour and décisions. In the study, those who finished higher degrees
have a négative view on producing biogas but agreed that AWR is conducive to environmental protection and can augment household income.60

Lastly, data suggest that household size have a négative corrélation with the respondents' value identification; lower number of household size believe that AWR is efficient in environmental protection and can be a source of household

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATION
This study was conducted in order to understand the current state of livestock waste management in selected barangays of Busuanga and Coron and evaluate the openness of the respondents in improving livestock waste
management in the area on the basis of wiliingness to accept (WTA) and
willingness to act favorably.This présent research was carried out thru survey method, where a survey questionnaire was the main data gathering technique used to gain information on
socio-demographic profiles, farm characteristics as a fonction of the kind and number of animais tended/ raised, the existing livestock waste facilities, and obtain
insights on respondents' willingness to contribute and accept payment for improved livestock waste management. Further, corrélation of socio-demographic profiles with willingness to act for improved waste management as well as willingness to accept compensation were aiso analyzed.
There were (50) livestock farmer-participants in this study; 25 from
Busuanga and 25 from Coron. In Busuanga. Most respondents have âge range of 51-60, while 31-40 and 41-50 in Coron. Both towns are dominated by

owner/operator which are designated to manage the livestock farms, most are married maie and high school graduate, and have businesses.
Livestock raising is one among the livelihoods especially in the rural barangays of the island. The study revealed that animais such as carabao, goat, cattle, ducks, geese, turkeys, swine and chicken are being raised in order to
augment the income and support the protein requirement of households. From this, poultry (chicken) have the most numbers, some respondents are raising thousands
of chickens both for meat and eggs purposes.
Livestock waste management is still unregulated especially in the areas far from barangay center. Most respondents have no waste management facilities, less than half of the respondents from Busuanga and Coron have established
facilities for this purpose.
Corrélation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship of respondents' socio-demographic profiles in their willingness to pay, to accept payment, to get
involve and stay in an organization, and their values toward the animal waste recycling. The study showed that membership in a coopérative have positive corrélation on willingness to act for road infrastructure and further contribute for
inclusion in coopérative, sex of the respondents was surprisingly found to influence their willingness to act positively for improved market accessibility, household size63
Déterminants of Livestock Waste Management and Willingness to Act for Improved Practices among Livestock Raisers In Busuanga Island
significantly affects décisions on willingness to take action for improved mobile network services and coopérative membership. In contrast, other socio-
demographic profiles have négative corrélation on the livestock farmers' willingness to act; membership in a coopérative have négative effect on willingness
to participate for improved waste facilities, the respondents' willingness to
contribute for improved mobile network access are negatively affected by sex, civil status have négative connotation on improved road infrastructure, lastly, educational attainment negatively impacted their décision to pay for improved mobile network.In addition, livestock farmers' socio-demographic profiles were correlated on their animal waste recycling (AWR) behavior and value identification, as well as evaluate its impact on their willingness to produce or sell waste for biogas. In
summary, hired manager expresses more willingness to produce biogas. Sex aiso has a significant effect on their values on AWR, maie respondents believed that
that AWR is conducive to environmental protection and good for the health.Similarly, civil status has positive corrélation on the behaviour of the
respondents to produce biogas but negated the idea that AWR is conducive to
environmental protection. As to educational attainment, those who finish higher level of éducation have négative views on producing biogas while positive corrélation is recorded in their AWR values. Lastly, household size has négative
64
Déterminants of Livestock \A/aste Management and Willingness to Act for Improved Practices among Livestock Raisers in Busuanga Island
corrélation on respondents' values about the AWR as being conducive to environmental protection and bénéficiai to household income.
In terms of the livestock farmers' accessibility to facilities intended for livestock raising and waste management, majority have access to road, water source, mobile network services, market access and waste management facilities, and that most of them are willing to act positively for improvement of these infrastructure and services.
With regards to the respondents' cognitive variables, ail of them have
knowledge on waste management, perceived good services from the environment, and positively expressed attitude toward the state of environment. However, most are only somewhat concerned on the environmental conditions.
Meanwhile, the higher number of the participants are members of an association/coopérative, and are willing to take necessary actions to stay as a member. Notably, ail of the respondents have positive relationship toward others,
have high regard on reciprocity and continue to trust institutions.
Animal waste recycling is perceived to be effective mechanism in addressing concern on these problems, and most of the respondents expressed their interest to produce fertilizer. Meanwhile, Busuanga recorded more
65
Déterminants of Livestock Waste Management and Willingness to Act for Improved Practices among Livestock Raisers in Busuanga Island
respondents who are willing to produce biogas which is contrary to the case of Coron wherein less of the respondents responded positively to the idea.
Lastly, majority of the respondents from both municipalities are in agreement that AWR is conducive to environmentai protection, good for the heaith,
and bénéficiai to increase household income.
Therefore, the study concludes that:
1. Some actions can be carried out among raisers to promote involvement
and belongingness in civil society organizations, which encourage participation among members to maintain their membership to the associations and when
necessary expend some amount for it;2. Levei of éducation has a significant influence on the livestock raisers' values towards recycling (particularly AWR);
3. Livestock farmers have positive attitude manifested by their enthusiasm to act for improved services such as road, water, market access, waste
management facilities;
66
Déterminants of Livestock Waste Management and Willingness to Act for Improved Practices among Livestock Raisers in Busuanga Island
4. Livestock waste management practices has been strictly implemented in the areas nearby barangay centers only, which implies the need for concerted effort among the local government officiais and livestock raisers to put into action the same in ail areas particularly those distant farm areas;
5. Livestock farmers have knowledge on waste management but only few have established waste management facilities only imply that some factors contribute to the realization of establishment of these facilities. Apart from finding out the reasons for failure to establish a facility among raisers, the LGU officiais
must actively motivate them to follow and strictly implement the laws for effective
or sustainable livestock waste management.It is clear that livestock waste management ruies and régulations in the
island are not well implemented especially in the far-flung farms, which poses threat to water tributaries. Given this situation, the status of the livestock waste management in the island can be safely said is still considerably behind if not in its
infancy stage.
Regardiess of this predicament, the livestock raisers have the desire and willingness to act positively towards changing their attitude and embrace sustainable practices for waste management in order to improve their socio- economic conditions and be champions to protect their immédiate environment.

Although promising results were observed in this présent study, the work has still some limitations that need to be addressed. This research should be deliberateiy generalized only for the study population in both municipaiities and
therefore may not represent the perspective of ai! or other group of the livestock farmers operating in both Busuanga and Coron towards livestock waste management. While this is only a preliminary study, it is recommended that further research may use the results of this study as a baseline data or a basis for formulating data-based recommandations on livestock waste management
particularly in Busuanga given that more livestock farmers must be involved to better represent each municipality and additional factors may aiso be considered
to have a better and more holistic understanding of livestock waste management.
