Leadership styles are as old as human civilization. From the city state of polis to the modern public governance era, leadership style steers up the organization to a higher level of productivity. It breeds cooperation and motivation among employees. Leadership is essential in the organization. While leadership is different from person to person, it is affected by perception. These perceptions influence expectancies and elicit actions from subordinates. The study measures the leadership style of department heads and division chiefs using the following thematic areas: 1) formulation of organizational objectives; 2) identification of programs and projects; 3) making decisions; 4) handling complaints and issues; 5) and addressing organizational problems. The study also compared their leadership perceptions and determined whether there is significant difference in styles using the classical models of leadership, namely: 1) democratic; 2) autocratic; and 3) delegative. Majority of the respondents (28) perceived that there is no significant difference between their leadership styles.

Climate change contributes to disasters in the Philippines. Most human activities have had negative consequences on the environment, exacerbating global warming. Humans contribute to climate change and global warming by burning fossil fuels, cutting down trees, engaging in improper waste disposal, using electricity, and driving a car. This study assessed the environmental practices of communities in Nueva Ecija, Philippines, and their implications for climate change. Respondents were selected using convenient sampling. A questionnaire delivered online was used to elicit their responses then analyzed the data using SPSS. This study revealed that most post-secondary students do not litter but sometimes burn their trash in an open dump. Most of them used LPG as their primary source of fuel for cooking. Rice production is always the same as producing food waste in food production. Garden waste was sometimes produced. Plastic containers are commonly produced as recyclable wastes. They often dispose of wastes in controlled and regulated open dumpsites by their municipality or city. Due to the pandemic, special wastes like face masks and face shields are disposed of daily. Generally, despite no littering behavior, the respondents never burned their trash or threw it on any body of water. They perceived to disagree that these daily community activities contribute to climate change. Lastly, less than half of them affirmed that there are initiative programs at the barangay level to lessen and eliminate community activities that cause climate change.
