N2  - This is a normative - descriptive study on the Level of Awareness and Perception   of Elected City and Barangay Officials of the City of Tagbilaran, Bohol on the   Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006 (RA 9344), especially relative to the   Implementation of the law. The data was gathered through a Perceptionnaire and   personal interviews and analysed through the Statistical Package for Social   Science- SSPS Version 14. Results of the study showed that while there is a High   level of awareness of the respondents on the implementation of the law, they   perceive that the law is only Partially implemented. However, the latter   perception is based on factors not expected from the provisions of the law and   clearly shows their (officials) lack of information and appreciation of the same,   especially their respective roles and obligations under program. And because the   study reveals that the awareness of the respondents on the law has a significant   effect on their perception, there is a need for a better dissemination and more   intensified campaign/ advocacy on RA 9344 even from amongst those who are   supposed to be implementors of this vital piece of legislation.
