As a grade 12 STEM student, we conducted this study to know the thoughts and
insight of the students about dengue cases around our University. The thoughts and insights
how Holy Angel University is prone about the cases. Also, the thoughts and insights about
harm they can get because of the danger getting dengue. We also want to know the
difficulties of janitor and maintenance for the students can avoid dengue. Because I myself
experienced dengue and I don’t know why and did where I get the virus. So we want to
prevent dengue to help other students not to be victim. There are also factors that are
responsible for the dengue cases which include the surrounding of the University such us
improper garbage disposal, and improper segregation of trash. We will conduct this to reduce

Group advocates for proper waste management to beat dengue menace. The Eco
Waste Coalition has called on the local authorities and the general public to embrace
ecological solid waste management (ESWM) as a practical strategy to address the dengue
scourge. Water storage containers, drums, pails, and other artificial or natural water
containers that are within or near to places where people reside are natural breeding habitats
According to Mridula Ramesh (2017), with dengue on the rise, waste management is
first step in winning war against the disease. The disease requires careful monitoring and
care. Mosquitos can breed in pockets of water. Dengue is, to start-up slang, a hyper-local

Even if dengue cases are traditionally high during the rainy season, or during
the period from July to November, a health official here discussed Saturday the possibility
that dengue cases may also rise during the hot season especially with the presence of El

which may serve as good breeding grounds for dengue-carrying mosquitos. Phoebe Jen

Theoretical Framework
“Evolving the Theory of Waste Management: defining key concepts” is the title by E.
Pongracz, P.S. Phillips & R.L Keiski. This theory states that the Theory of Waste
Management represents a more in-depth account of the domain and contains conceptual
analyses of waste, the activity upon waste, and a holistic view of the goals of waste
management. In this theory, Waste Management Theory is founded on the expectation that
waste management is to prevent waste causing harm to human health and the environment.
The relationship of this theory to the study is that they are both about waste management and
prevention of harm to human health. Their goal is to prevent diseases such as dengue and
help save the nature by proper waste management and make a safe and clean environment for
a better future.

for them to be aware what to do when dengue come in their way. Students who suffered in
dengue disease are the one who experience this kind of phenomena and because of these they
can share their thoughts and experiences that would help the researchers to find the answer to

The beneficiaries in this study are the teachers, students, and future researchers. The
teachers will benefit from this study because it can give them additional knowledge to
prevent dengue, they can share this knowledge to their students, and they are the one who can
publish or approve our research. The student on the other hand will benefits from this
because it can be a new knowledge for them, they can apply our study on their lives to
prevent dengue and it will serve as a guide for them on how to prevent dengue viruses. Lastly

Discussion
This study concludes that, lack of proper irrigation and lack in prevention is the main
cause of dengue in our school community. Students who suffered in dengue stated that they
did not do preventive measure that is why they suffer dengue and experienced struggle both
in personal and academic way.. With dengue on the rise, waste management is first step in
winning war against the disease. The disease requires careful monitoring and care. Mosquitos
With the given conclusions, the researchers recommend that the school should
conduct seminars or use campaign materials that could use as awareness in preventing
dengue cases in our school that could help not just the students of Holy Angel University but
