WRITE YOUR RESEARCH TOPIC AND PROBLEM IN THE SPACE PROVIDED BELOW

TOPIC:

“The Perception on Executive Order No. 3 Also known as: Voluntary Use of Facemask in Public Places,
of the Grade 12-J Filipe SHS SY 2022-2023 of the PCCR

PROBLEM:

The ongoing COVID-19 disease significantly affects not only human health, it also affects the
wealth of country’ economy and everyday routine of human life. To control the spread of the virus,
face mask is used as primary personal protective equipment (PPE). Thus, the production and usage
of face masks significantly increase as the COVID-19 pandemic still escalating. Further, most of
these masks contain plastics or other derivatives of plastics. Therefore, this extensive usage of face
masks generates million tons of plastic wastes to the environments in a short span of time.

2. DESCRIBE THE BACKROUND OF YOUR STUDY. REVUEW THE GUIDELINES. WRITE BELOW THE PROVICE SPACE

BACKROUND OF THE PROBLEM

With the ongoing research and developments on the novel coronavirus, it is believed that COVID-
19 is spread through respiratory droplets of an infected person. The virus can be transmitted to
other people if they come in contact with the infectious droplets or inhale the aerosols. Therefore,
wearing face masks can be effective to prevent the spread. Although the use of face masks by
healthy individuals is widely debated, it is important to take preventive measures to stay safe and
healthy. Read on to learn more about the importance and benefits of wearing disposable face
masks for protection during the COVID-19 situation.

3. STATE THE RESEARCH PROBLEM USE THE TEMPLATE BELOW

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Masks are a vital measure to save lives and suppress the transmission of coronavirus. Masks act as
a barrier to block the virus-containing particles from escaping from an infected individual and
landing on a healthy person. A Research by Florida Atlantic University demonstrates the
effectiveness of covering the face stating that the number of droplets dispersed in the air can be
decreased and the distance they travel. Coronavirus droplets can travel more than 8 feet without a
mask. The study notes that a bandanna reduces the distance to 3 feet, 7 inches, and the distance
is further decreased to more than 1 foot 3 inches with a folded handkerchief placed over the nose

and mouth. As such it is indisputable that even a cloth face-covering
substantially reduces the speed at which coronavirus is spread from person to
person.

THE STUDY AIMS to help people in public places to avoid COVID 19 and other decease and
according to recent studies voluntary use of face mask in public places had a
huge impact to the student’s health. In particular, a student’s daily activities
involve traveling, going to school, and visiting public places where wearing a
facemask has benefits but can potentially affect them. Through this qualitative
study, students should be able to comprehend the value of wearing a face mask
and the dangers of doing the contrary. In line with this, research is of great
importance because this will be beneficial for the school. It helps them determine
the student’s difficulties, and issues raised during the conduct of the study in
“Philippine College of Criminology”.

The study aims to answer the following questions:

Main question: Are student of M-Aquino of PCCR are using facemask in public places?

SPECIFIC QUESTIONS:
1. What are the advantage of using facemask?
2.
