ABSTRACT
This study puts into implementation the basic law of the land, thus that the
State shall "establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and
integrated system of education relevant to the people and society." (Sec. 2 [I], Art
XIV, 1987 Constitution). The Constitution mandates not only that quality
education must be provided by the State to all qualified citizens - the poor and
the underprivileged in particular - at all levels of education, but that it must
likewise put in place a system of education geared towards establishing and
making available a continuing pool of trained manpower for the country's
development efforts.
Thus, this study was also conducted to know the status of E-Governance,
in two LUCs in Taguig City and Makati City, in terms of Web Facilities, Time
Schedule, Student Flow, and Web Support Staff; and to study the extent of web
utilization in the said LUCs in terms of instruction, Research, and Extension.
This study used the Descriptive Research Methodology and respondents
used were 600 students, 30 faculty and 5 web administrators and staffs of Taguig
City University and 800 students, 40 faculty and 5 web administrators and staffs
of University of Makati. The respondents were determined using the non
probability sampling technique which is known as the quota sampling, because
the alternative use of probability sampling is not considered due to the large
number of population of students and faculties per college department in the said
LUCs. Weighted mean was also used to analyze the data gathered in this study.
The respondents perceived that TCU has a very low status of E-Governance in

vi

terms of Web Facilities with a total weighted mean of 1.37; in terms of Time
Schedule with the total weighted mean of 1.43; in terms of Student Flow with
total weighted mean of 1.37. However, in terms of web support staff, the
respondents perceived it as a very high status of E-Governance with the total
weighted mean of 3.06. On the other hand, the total weighted mean of 3.47 in
Web Facilities, 3.40 in Student Flow, 3.77 in Web Support Staff showed a very
high status of E-Governance in UMAK, as perceived by the LUCs respondents.
On the extent of web utilization, TCU has a high extent in instruction with a total
weighted mean of 3.12; has a low extent in terms of research with a total
weighted mean of 1.75; and has a very low extent in extension with a weighted
mean of 1.30. On the other hand, UMAK has a very high extent in instruction
and in extension with a total weighted mean of 3.65 and 3.51; and has a high
extent in extension with a weighted mean of 2.73.

Not all schools have the

capability to provide web facilities for the faculty and for the students and
extension services in the community as provided by the memorandum issued by
the CHED and by the DBM; and to give priority in research and development as
mandated by the 1987 Constitution, Article XIV Section 10.
Local Government should have sufficient funding for providing web
facilities in public schools; should facilitate the donation of surplus equipment and
technology to schools and libraries from governmental, business, and other
private institutions by granting a tax incentive; should also calls for the allocation
of at least 1 % of the country's GNP to the annual budget of Science and
Technology activities as prescribed by the UNESCO.
