As to year level, highest number of respondents was among the fourth year (34.25%) followed by the third year (29.28%), the second year (18.78%) and the fifth year (17.68%). With regard to program enrolled in, findings showed that more than one half (53.59%) of the respondents belonged to the regular track, while 46.41% belonged to the music track. Table 1 shows the distribution of respondents according to sex, year level and program enrolled in.

Awareness about Global Warming among Respondents when taken as a Whole Group As a whole the respondents were aware about global warming (x = 1.92).They were aware about what is referred to as global warming and how it could affect human development and well-being. They were also aware of its causes and that the issue is not only personal but global in its extent. They are also aware about the different environmental programs that could help mitigate its effect. These areas had the highest mean score of 1.99. However,

22 respondents do not keep themselves updated on various and most recent news on global warming and this area got the lowest mean score of 1.41. Table 2 gives the awareness on global warming among respondents when taken as a whole group.
