I. Introduction
The second year students of Far Eastern University, Morayta, Manila, BSN
220 responsibly conducted a study in the community of Baranggay Bagong Barrio
150, Caloocan City with the goal of motivating and seeking wide participation for the
improvement of the community through collection, collation, analysis and
interpretation of data which includes statistical data, identification of problems and
priority setting for Community Diagnosis of Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan City
for the year 2009.
The term “community health nursing” is composed of three major concepts-

community (client), health (goal) and nursing (the means). The nursing practice in
the community entails the utilization of a number of processes to respond health
needs of the clients.
This activity is designed to assist communities in developing a consensus

about the priority health problems in their individual communities and developing
strategies to address the issues identified. The completion of the Community
Diagnosis process should answer the following questions for the community:
1. Where is the community now?
2. Where does it want to be?
3. How will it get there?
Health education literature has long discussed the importance of
community participation in health education programs and there is a growing
emphasis on enabling health education of the student to facilitate successful
community involvement. In working for the developing health education with
Barangay Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan City the students should be competent

and have enough knowledge to implement the community diagnosis. The
students should have also an integrated and unique manner to face the people
living in the barangay 150.
II. GENERAL AND SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
This study aims to describe the health status of Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150 through a
comprehensive community Diagnosis.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish rapport with the community officials and members and uphold
Far Eastern University’s standard of a professional nurse for us to identify
foreseeable health problems.
II. To familiarize ourselves with the community and observe first-hand what goes
out and about the confines of the baranggay to determine the existing and
foreseeable crises of the district
III. To collect data regarding the community’s health status through interview with
the key informants of the baranggay and through a survey for the rest of the
citizens in the area, then evaluate the gathered data.
-Demographic Variables
-Socio-Economic Variable
-Cultural Variables
-Environmental Variables
-Political Variables
-Health and Illness Patterns

IV. To compile supplementary information of the baranggay which are vital
factors to their health such as the land area, the population, and climate,
political and economical status and other factors to assess their influence
over the residents’ well being.
V. To broaden our knowledge and expose ourselves to community health

nursing whilst being able to help the population in identifying and recognizing
their problems as a community.

III.SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The significance of the study in general is to identify the existing problems of

the Baranggay Bagong Barrio150. This study will be helpful to the baranggay
officials to implement rules and regulations to address the identified health problems
and to improve the health status of the community. Because of this study, the
baranggay officials are aware to protect the people living within that community. For
the community, the significance of this study is to protect the community from the
health hazards and as well as in health threats. Because of this, the community will
be aware and be knowledgeable about their current health status and current
situations. And lastly, for the researcher they will be able to identify, recognize, and
familiarize how to facilitate and conduct the community survey and also broaden
their knowledge about community health diagnosis to help the people in Barangay
Bagong Barrio 150 to identify their situations.

IV. SCOPE AND LIMITION/DELIMITATION
This research study was conducted by BSN 220 at the Barangay Bagong
Barrio150, Caloocan City from August 8, 2009 and ended up on august 19, 2009.
every Monday to Wednesday at 8:00am up to 5:00pm. This research covers 382
families of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150. It focuses on the community’s demographic
data, environmental aspects, and community as a social system, health
management, risk factors and also the spot map.
It also gathers the key informants’ knowledge about the community’s current
status and their activities. The records of the community coming from the barangay
officials are also included in this study but the budget of health, source of health
funding, and hospital bed population ratio are not included because it was never
mentioned by the barangay officials.
This study has a limited numbers of families and questions that can only be
answered in the community survey tool. The whole information on this research is
only limited for baranggay 150.
The class used Random Sampling kind of research to be able to know the
general perception, practices and information about the whole community.
The Key Informant Interview Group was not able to gather data about the
Sewerage System because the Barangay Councilor fo the Infrastructure has no idea
about the development of the Sewerage System. Also, they were not able to
interview the Physician because the physician undergoes to personal appointments.
V. METHODOLOGY
1. Define Statement of Objectives
-We used comprehensive type of diagnosis because we aim to obtain the general
information about the community.
2. Define Target Population
-We used random sampling because we refer to taking a number of the independent
observations from same probability distribution, without involving any real the entire
population due to limited time.
3. Identify Data to be collected
-The data that should be collected are Demographic data, Political Leaders aspects,
and Environmental aspects, Community Health Programs and Services and Health
Management, Socio Economic, Cultural and Health Illness Patterns.
4. Collect Data
- The collected data came from community profiles
5. Develop and Finalize Instruments
6. Development of instrumentation
 The methods of data collection are Ocular survey, and Spot map, by using
the observation checklist to identify the facilities that should be developed.
Another method is Community survey, with the use of the community
survey tool, which gathers the information needed by the researchers. The
next method is the Key Informant, which gathers the information in the
baranggay and health officials, we used the KII guide, to know the
activities, policies, regulations, and the programs about the health. The
other method that we used is the Records Review, which identifies the
records of the past and present health situation. The tool that we used is
the RR checklist. And lastly, the Risk Factor Assessment. It focuses to find
the top leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the baranggay using
the risk factor assessment checklist, Focus Group Discussion Guide
Questions per Target Group identified.
7. Actual Data Gathering
-The said methods above are used in Actual data gathering was done
simultaneously for four days.
8. Data Organization and Collation
-We use descriptive method because there are some questions that should be
describe, explained and narrated by the people in the barangay150. We also used
numerical data, to know the community’s current status when it comes to their
thresholds and their ratings for brgy. Officials. And also we based some information
using numbers and mathematical computations.
9. Data Presentation
-The descriptive data is presented in narrative form. The numerical is presented by

using tables, graphs and pie charts.
10. Data analysis
-Establish trends and patterns in terms of health needs and problems of the
community by comparing the obtained data with standards and national data.
Determine the interrelationship of factors to view the significance of the problem and
it’s implication to the community’s health status.
11. Identification Of Community Health Problems
We have established the existence of the problem by correlating cues from data
gathered through key informant interview, community survey, recordsreview, ocular
inspection and risk factors assessment.
12. Prioritization Of Health Problems
- identify the priority problems in the community using the following criteria:
a. Nature of the problem- the problems are classified by the nurse as a

health status, health resources or health related problems
b. Magnitude of the problem- this refers to severity of the problem which

can be measured in terms of the proportion of the population affected
by the problem
c. Mortality of the problem- this refers to the probability of reducing,

controlling or eradicating the problem
d. Preventive potential- this refers to the probability of controlling or

reducing the effect posed by the problems
e. Social concern- this refers to the perception of the population or the

community as they are affected by the problem and their readiness to
act on the problem
This is done by scoring system utilized by the nurse in deciding which of

the problems needed to be prioritized.
Situations Analysis: problem Tree
It is based on the cues that come up in the community and supporting cues. It is also
based on different problems that gathered and compiled.

Open Dumping- refuse and/or garbage piled in a dumping place (with or without pit)
with no soil covering.
Open Burning- regularly piles refused/garbage and later burned in open air. This is
uncontrolled burning which is usually done for yard and street sweeping. It may be
allowed in rural areas where it will not worsen already existing air pollution.
Burial Pit - refuse/garbage placed in a pit and covered when failed up. There is no
intention to dig it up later for use as fertilizer. This should be located 25 meters away
from any well used for water supply.
Composting- involved buying or stacking of alternating layers of organic based
refuse/garbage and ’treated soil’ arranged as to hasted rapid decay and
decomposition into compost. This organic mixture can later be used as fertilizer.
Garbage Collection - refuse/garbage collected by garbage truck or any type of
garbage collection in the community.
Types of waste management
Recycling - ‘converting’ waste material for reuse in the future.
Reusing - to use something again, often for a different purpose and usually as an
alternative to throwing it out
Source of drinking water

Commercially prepared water - includes all bottled water that have been treated with
state of a art purification techniques bought usually at supermarkets, groceries, and
convenient stores (mineral water)
Local water system - commonly known as faucet or gripo which is connected from a
water distribution system, Level II (communal faucet) or level III (waterworks system)
of water supply facilities.
Artesian well- commonly known as the poso, level I (point source) of water supply
facilities.
Deep Well - an artificial excavation or structure put down by any method such as
digging, driving, boring, or drilling for the purposes of withdrawing water from
underground.
Surface Water - derived from streams, rivers, subjects to seasonal availability and
are subjects to contamination if untreated.
Ground Water - walls and springs.
Spring - groundwater seepages which are created when the level of underground
water comes in contact with the surface. Contamination occurs at the point of
seepage.
Rainwater-basically free from impurities. However contamination may occur at the
collection and storage points, and by air pollution (ex., Acid rain)
Method of sanitizing water

Boiling - safest and purest way
6.Should be boiled for at least 2 minutes more after reaching boiling point of
100 C
to kill all vegetative bacteria, viruses, fungi.
7.At least 2 minutes as minimum suitable time of boiling water for low level
locations and an additional 1 minute per 1000 motor additional elevation
(water boils at higher temp at high altitude)
Filtration - done before boiling or disinfecting common household filters used in the
Phils: sand filters, cloth filters, intermittent water filter.
Sedimentation-impurities in water are allowed to settle at the bottom of the container
for 30 minutes-1 hr and pouring the top part in a new clean container without
creating turbulence.
Chemical Disinfection
1Chlorination-normal dose=1.5mg/L
2Disinfection- use of tincture of iodine-2drops/L
Buying commercially prepared water
Food Preparation
8refers to usual method of preparation of food (fried, steamed, grilled, boiled,
souteed, etc.
Health management
Authority consulted during illness
Authority- those who had a formal or informal training regarding health and health
managements that are recognized by the people (i.e. doctors, albularyo, hilot, etc)
this is to establish if the disease or illness had been properly diagnosed. Before
assessing this, ask first about the illness or disease suffered in the family for the
year up to the present and if the family have had done anything about it.
How to decide on medication taken during illness - during the course of illness (for
the past year). If the family has taken any medication, (self-prescription; prescribed
by the doctor, or prescribed by others, e.g nurse, midwife, pharmacist, family
members.
Perception on what is a healthy person- self explanatory. If they think a child that is
malusog, walang sakit, mataba, masigla is considered healthy. Somewhat affects
the concept of health promotion and disease prevention within the community.
Perception on what causes illness- yields their knowledge, perception or any

misconception about what causes disease or illness. (maligno, duwende, engkanto
etc)
E. Community health programs and services
Presence, Awareness and utilization of community health programs-Description of

existing health and health related programs that the community has or are
implementing. Awareness and utilization of community people regarding these
programs (asses using CST), FGD should be done to inquire why they are not
availing certain programs or following certain policies even if they are aware of it.
Method of family planning used-Natural or Artificial (read on types of natural and

artificial FP methods). Before asking this, inquire first if they are utilizing FP methods
since this question does not necessarily apply to all. (for families with mother’s age
is within the range of 15-45 years.)
Nutritional Status of target age group(0-6 years old)-weigh children from 0-6 years old
and identify presence of malnutrition with their respective categories (refer to DOH
book; table for assessing malnutrition in children will be handed out.
Immunization status to target age group of 0-12 months and 1 year to 8 years old..

FIGURE 5 POPULATION PYRAMID
OF BRGY. BAGONG BARRIO 150
AS OF AUGUST 2009
Interpretation:
Based on the data that has been gathered in the community survey, it shows
that the base of the pyramid denotes a large population of the children aging 0-9
years and it states that there is a high Crude Birth Rate in the base of pyramid. The
middle part of the pyramid denotes the large population of the reproductive age
ranging from 15 – 39 years old it implies that there is a high General Fertility Rate in
that bracket the peak of pyramid denotes the elderly age. As seen in the pyramid
has a high Crude Death Rate having the percent value of 2.44 and 2.23.
According to the data gathered in Barangay 150, the sex ratio is 103 male per
100 female compared to the sex ratio of the Philippine which is 1 male per 1 female.
According to the Philippine National Data, crude birth rate or CBR is 26.42
which happen to be higher than the live births of Barangay 150 is 14.99. This shows
that in the Philippines, there is a tendency that the population will continue to rise.
The Barangay 150 Bagong Barrio has a total population of 446 midyear
population of women, 15-44 years of age where in their 27 live births that results to
61 General Fertility Rate in the Barangay. He Philippines General Fertility Rate is
3.27 or 3. The population pyramid has a huge population in ages 15-44 years old.
The computation shows that Barangay Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan Crude
death rate in the study is resulting in an overall death rate of 9 due to 17mortality
over a total of 1801 population per 1000 midyear population. The Philippines Crude
death Rate is 5 and in the population pyramid there is low population both in male
and female.
The computation of median age of barangay bagong barrio 150 is 25 years
old.it means that half of the population is younger than 25 and the onther half is
older than 25 years old.
The result of the computation for the dependency ratio of Barangay Bagong
Barrio 150 is 50.26. Therefore half of the population of the Barangay is dependent to
the people who are working.
The life expectancy at birth it the Barangay is 55.6 or 56 years old. The life
expectancy of the community is earlier than compared to the life expectancy of the
Philippines which is 70.8 or 71 years old. The leading cause of mortality in the
community is heart disease.
Analysis:
The type of population pyramid that the Barangay 150 has is a type 1 pyramid
which is an expansive pyramid. It is the same as the type population pyramid in the
Philippines. It has a broader base indicating that there is a increase in Crude Birth
Rate. The middle part of the pyramid has a high reproductive age which denotes that
there is an increase in the General Fertility Rate. The peak of the pyramid has a high
Crude Death Rate.
As seen in the data the base of the pyramid which includes ages 0-1 year old
is the overall indicator in increasing General Fertility Rate. It is also notable that the
middle section of the pyramid is broad. These support the data that shows an
increase General Fertility Rate. There is a 50.26 Dependency Ratio in Barangay 150
which is high so there will be a decline in labor force. In fact, the percent value of
unemployed is 33%.
Based on the population pyramid, the reason why there is a higher ratio of
male than female is that there are 5.61% male who are newly born compare to
female that has only 4.44%. Another fact of a high ratio is the total population of
male base from the survey is 50.83% compare to the percentage of female which is
49.18%. And it denotes that there is a dominant number of males than females.
The crude birth rate which is 14.99 is high because the general fertility rate
which is 61 is also high. Another basis of having a high CBR is the percentage of
families who are using family planning. The family who are utilizing family planning is
only 29% and the rest is not utilizing it.
This shows that the general fertility rate is 61. The Philippines general fertility
rate is 3.27, which means it has a big difference if you compare it with the latter. The
population pyramid shows that there is a high population of women ages 15-44,
which are generally considered to be their reproductive ages. Another possible
cause of the high fertility rate is that only 29% of the surveyed population uses family
planning. The remaining percent do not utilize any family planning method and
therefore increases the chance of pregnancy.
The Barangay Bagong Barrio 150’s Crude Death Rate is 9 while the
Philippines CDR is 5. If you compare the crude death rate of the Philippines and the
Barangay, it will show that every 106 people, 1 death occurs. As compared to the
population pyramid there is a low population in the ages 45 and above it means that
most deaths happen at that age. The difference of CDR is due to the non-utilization
of the health programs by the residents of the Barangay. In fact, based from our
survey, most of them are not even aware of the health programs imposed by the
health center.
The component median age of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 is 25 years old
while the median age of the Philippines is 22.5 or 23 years old, the median age of
the Barangay is higher than the median age of the Philippines as of 2008, however
the difference is just 2 years. There is a large population for reproductive age and
working age; the crude birth rate and death rate is high and dependency ratio
especially 0 – 14 years old is also high, so the median age is high making the
population young.
The age dependency ratio indicates the economic burden that the working
individuals of the population must carry; the higher the ratio, the higher the burden.
The projected age dependency in the Philippines is 62.4. This means that in every
100 persons, 62 of them are dependents, including those people in, the working age
(15-64 years old) that are unemployed; and only 38 persons are supporting them.
If this is compared to Barangay Bagong Barrio 150, we can see that there is a
slight difference, the rate of the dependents in the Barangay is slightly lower than
that of the whole Philippines. The dependency ratio of the Barangay can be
incorporated with employment status of the community. High dependency ratio
means there is a high unemployment status and low employment status.However,
we can still say that in Barangay 150, the independent persons are outnumbered by
those who depend on them.
Males have lower life expectancy than females because of their lifestyle. Most
of the males in the community have sedentary lifestyle and vices making their lives
shorter with this compared to national statistics, it is very obvious that there is a big
gap between the two. This means that the population of Barangay 150 takes a
greater risk of making their lives shorter than that of the whole country. For the
population pyramid, we can see that the computed age for life expectancy matches
with the number of individual who reach the age of 56 and above.
Health Implications:
According to the data gathered, the population pyramid of Barangay Bagong

Barrio 150 is experiencing a high Crude Birth Rate, High General Fertility rate and also
an increase in Dependency Ratio and increase in employment. If that happens there will
be more programs like free- dental check-up, paediatric services will increase different
livelihood programs will strongly implemented to increased the income of each family
and to increase the ratio of dependency. Barangay health center will have a seminars
regarding on family planning and healthy lifestyles for the elders. Feeding programs for
the children will be more frequent due to the increase Crude Birth Rate.
If the ratio 103 male per 100 female will be the same in the future, there will
be a larger male population who will be at risk of Coronary artery disease. If there would
be a larger male population who will be at risk of Coronary artery disease, Barangay
officials must prioritize health programs such as National Cardiovascular Disease
Prevention and Control Program that will decrease the risk.
If the CBR of Barangay 150 will still increase in the future, the dependency
ratio of Barangay 150 will also increase and it can cause a low labor force and will lead
to insufficient income. Another effect of having a high CBR is there will be a need to
increase in different programs like Breastfeeding Program/ Mother and baby friendly
Hospital Initiative, Child health, Family Planning, Garantisadong Pambata, Expanded
program in immunization, and Newborn Screening. Well pediatric clinic services will also
increase.
These demographic trends signify that the Barangay Bagong Barrio 150’s
economy will have a difficult utilization of health resources. This is because rapid
population growth puts stress on the community’s economic resources and the delivery
of social and health services. There will be a deficit in the health programs and that those
will not be addressed to everyone in the barangay. This has a significant impact on the
people, especially if they are ill, because it might force them to consult private health
care services. This is a major dilemma for them especially for the big percentage who
are part of the dependency ratio or are financially-challenged. The growth will affect the
widespread poverty in community, and consequently, the country.
In the case of Barangay bagong barrio 150, the crude death rate is 9 deaths
per 1000 midyear population. If this situation continues the population will decline in
Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 and there will be a low manpower and labor force because
of lack of people in the community.
The median age is at 25 years old. This signifies that there is a rapid increase
in population. If it continue to increase there is a tendency that over population may
occur. If there is overpopulation there is a tendency that crowding occurs and it there is a
crowded area easy transmission of communicable diseases might happen. The median
age can also be related to the dependency ratio. The dependency ratio is high because
there is more children ages 0-14 years than that of working age. This can mean that that
there is a low labor force, there for there is inadequate source of income. Inadequate
source of income may lead to neglect of health care need. Neglect of such need may
lead to further health complications such as cancer, diabetes, and TB.
High dependency ratio can be related to high unemployment status. A person

who is unemployed consequently has no source of income. Thus, that person cannot
afford the basic health care needs. Neglect of these needs could affect a person
drastically because there could be undiagnosed diseases that might manifest later in life.
If left untreated, these diseases might result to further complications and endanger the
life of an individual. Examples of such diseases are diabetes mellitus, cancer, and
cardiovascular diseases. Since there is a high dependency ratio, this means that there
are a lot of people who are not working. Therefore, these people may develop a
sedentary lifestyle that may lead to obesity and later on, if left uncontrolled, may lead to
cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
If the life expectancy of Barangay 150 will not change, there will be a decrease in the
population of those individuals who are 56 years old and above as a result, the mortality rate of
the Barangay will also increase.
Conclusion:
The researchers therefore conclude that the population pyramid of the

Philppines and the population pyramid of Barangay 150 is similar to each other which is
Expansive type of population pyramid because they exhibits broader base which is the
crude birth rate and they have both high reproductive age and high crude death rate.

FIGURE 6 Trend in population size in relation to time in
Barangay 150 Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan City
as of June 2009
Interpretation
As shown in the figure above the Population Projection of Barangay Bagong Barrio
150 increases and it is linear to the Population Projection of the entire Caloocan that
is also increasing in number.
B.NATURAL INCREASE AND RATE OF NATURAL INCREASE
Natural Increase is simply the difference between the number of births and the
number of deaths occurring in a population in a specified period of time.
Natural Increase = 17
Interpretation
The natural increase in the population of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 had
increased by 17 individuals because of the larger number of births than the number
of deaths in the entire barangay.
Rate of Natural Increase is the difference between the Crude Birth Rate and the
Crude Death Rate occurring in a population in a specified period of time.
Rate of Natural Increase = 5.55%
Interpretation
The rate of natural increase in the population of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 is 5.55
C. ABSOLUTE INCREASE PER YEAR
Measures the number of people that are added to the population per year.
Interpretation
As you can see in table above, the population of the Philippines increases as the
time goes by and the figure above Also shows an inclination in the population size. It
shows the absolute increase of Bagong Barrio 150 and you can see that there’s an
additional 1090 individuals every year.
D. RELATIVE INCREASE
Relative increase is the actual difference between the two censuses counts
expressed in percent relative to the population size made during an earlier census.
Interpretation
As shown in figure above, there’s an additional 1090 individuals in the population of

Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 every year. The population size is continuously
increasing every year and the relative increase is 52.43%.
Analysis
The population of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 and the entire Caloocan is similar
because it increases as the time goes by.
As shown in the data above, the increase of population in Barangay Bagong Barrio
150 is brought by different factors that can be seen in the information we gathered
on them: Majority of the People in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 are not utilizing the
family planning methods according to our information acquired through interview and
because majority of them are Catholics, about 70% of the people in the Barangay
and we know that Catholic churches opposes the Artificial and the Permanent
methods of contraception.
Majority of the people in Barangay 150 only finish High School and lack of education
can be also contribute to the overpopulation. Those who fail to understand the need
to prevent excessive growth of population. They are unaware of the ways to control
population. Lack of family planning is commonly seen in the barangay when we
gathered information through interview.
Another factor is that the Birth rate exceeding the Death rate of the Barangay, The
excess birth would contribute towards the increasing number in the population of the
barangay, just like in the data we gather in the barangay, 27 newborns last year to
present and only 17 cases of mortality.
Health Implication
An increasing population every year as seen on the table above will surely affect the
life of an individual, adequacy of living space and also a massive population in a
small area will affect the health status of a person. Per capita income, per capita
expenditure and per capita savings decrease as family size increases. Thus, the
bigger the family, the less money there is available to buy basic needs. Per capita
expenditures on education, medical needs and even recreation generally go down
with increases in family size. Members of large families are less likely to reach
college. On the other hand, There’s a possibility of increased chance on the
emergence of new epidemics and pandemics for many environmental and social
reasons, including overcrowded living conditions, malnutrition and inadequate,
inaccessible, or non-existent health care, the poor are more likely to be exposed to
infectious diseases. Increase in population also needs an increase in resources and
an increase in the availability of jobs. The budget of the barangay will be insufficient
for the people living in the barangay if the population continuously increases. They
cannot live properly when the community is overpopulated and an increase in
population also contributes in the global warming. An increase in the number of
individuals also tends garbage/wastes to increase.
If the population size continues to rise, the barangay will not be capable of providing
all the needs of every individual in the community due to the massive increase of
population every year.

F. TYPES OF FAMILY STRUCTURE
A nuclear family is composed of a father and mother with unmarried children

or a parent with children. Extended family refers to the household composed of a
nuclear family together with relatives like son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandson,
granddaughter, father, mother and other relatives. These family structures could
affect how a family allot and prioritize things especially when it comes to health
matters.
These data were gathered during the community survey in Barangay Bagong
Barrio 150.

Interpretation:
Out of 382 families surveyed, 268 families have nuclear type of family
structure. This accounts to 70%, this comprises the majority of the families. The next
is the extended type, this account for 101 families or 27%. The last is the dyad type
which accounts for 3% or 13 families.
Analysis:
Castillo (page 16) classifies the Filipino family as residentially nuclear but
functionally extended, which means, though they don’t share the same household,
they still identify with and assist one another, participate in joint activities, pool
resources, share responsibilities and maintain expressive and emotional relations.
The modal household is nuclear but the family is extended in so far as relationships
are concerned. Filipinos also tend to be independent once they started their own
families. The presence of extended family in the community is because if they are
going to be nuclear it will be relatively more differential and costly to put up a
separate household. It is also more economical to stay together.
In a nuclear family, health can be of a great priority. First, since they are
smaller in size than the extended ones, they have more resources for health. W ith
parents on their side, children got to know what’s right and what’s not. Nuclear family
is characterized by a strong sense of solidarity. In an extended family, health can
also be easily managed because in an extended family, you can help each other
regarding health matters. Persons in an extended family feel a more sense of
belongingness because they feel they are a part of a larger family, a larger entity.
The fact that Filipino families love get togethers, extended families make it possible
for an individual to have a good social worth.
Castillo (1979: 104-05) notes that while the concept of “extended” family may
include many other features. In extended, there are sharing of responsibilities and
maintenance of expressive and emotional relations beyond the nuclear family.

G. TYPE OF FAMILY ACCORDING TO AUTHORITY
The family is patriarchal in nature, in which the father is the head of the family
who carries out the decisions and orders in the house including the disciplining of
the children. He is also regarded as the main provider of the house: food, shelter,
clothing and finances. A family is said to be matriarchal if the family is headed by a
mother and decides for the family. These could determine who manages the family
on different matters. Who manages for money, resources, decision- making and
especially health.
The datas regarding the types of family according to authority are gathered
during the community survey in Barangay Bagong Bario 150.

62%
Interpretation:
Out of 382 families, the majority belongs to patriarchal type. This holds 235
families or 62% of the population. The rest are matriarchal, which holds 38% or 147
families.
Analysis:
Most Filipino families have patriarchal type of family authority because of our
view that the male has the right to control and lead the family. Males also are the
ones who usually works and earns, those are the reasons why males have the right
to decide for his family. But some are matriarchal, which means the mother is the
one deciding most of the time for the family. Some reasons for this are because of
the absence of the father, another is the mother is the one who works and earns for
the family.
Patriarchal type of authority has been found to be prevalent in many societies.
Miralorol (1997) avers that the male dominance is deeply rooted in Filipino culture.
Some of the families tend to be matriarchal because it is based on customary laws,
they have the right to be equal to men. The modern Filipina wife also is being more
enlightened and more knowledgeable of what is going on around her and is no
longer just confined to the home
The effect of having patriarchal type in health matters is that it is not usually
the father’s task to focus on his family’s health because they are the ones who work.
The result would be that health matters can be compromised until the time comes
that father decides. In a matriarchal type, health can be of an issue since mother, as
all we know, she is the one who takes care when someone in the family is sick.
As a family man, a husband’s role is to support his family. They are the ones
expected to be responsible for supporting the family. In the Philippines, women are
traditionally caregivers.
Various study of Filipino couples show that there are certain areas where
decisions are made either by the wife alone, by the husband alone, or by the
husband and wife jointly. In general, the domain of the husband is the outside work,
while of the wife is the household.

H. CIVIL STATUS
Any position or standing of an individual in relation to marriage or the
married state. This reflects the person’s status in the community in terms of
having any legal commitment or way of living together by couples. The states
can be Single, Married, Separated Common Law or Widowed.

Barangay Bagong Barrio 150
As of August 2009
CIVIL STATUS FREQUENCY PERCENTAGE
SINGLE 997 55.36
MARRIED 687 38.15
WIDOWED 53 2.94
COMMON LAW 46 2.55
SEPARATED 18 1
Total 1801 100
FIGURE 8 Frequency and Distribution of Civil Status in
As of August 2009
Interpretation:
Above are figures and tables showing the frequency of the Civil Status
of people living in Brgy. Bagong Barrio, Caloocan City. Majority of the respondents
are Single which counts 997 out of 1801 or 55.36% of the population. Second in line
are those who are married which counts 687 out of 1081 or 38.15% of the
population. Far from the number of married individuals are the widowed with the
number of 53 out of 1801 people or 2.94% of the population. Following the widowed
individuals are those who are in common law or living-in in layman’s term with a
count of 46 out of 1801 or 2.55% of the population. The lowest population is the
people belonging to category of separated which have 18 out of 1801 respondents
or 1% of the population
Analysis:
For the data gathered in Civil Status of people living in Brgy. Bagong Barrio,
Single stood as the highest rank having a value of 997 or 55.36%. This is principally
due to high number of children who are in the bracket of 0 – 14 years old. The
children count 515 out of 1801 or 28.6% of the population. This also has a relation to
the religion because majority which is Roman Catholic. The said religion legally gets
married at the age of 18 and above. Married which ranked 2 nd, is composed of 236
or 38.82% individuals. The first two statuses that were mentioned are the top two
statuses. The bottom 2 statuses are Separated and Common Law. In relation to the
data gathered about the religion of majority of the population, Roman Catholic is the
leading religion sector of the people living in Bagong Barrio 150. This shows the
respect of the people in the community in the vow that they had in the Sacrament of
Matrimony as shown in the number of people who are separated. On the other hand,
the people in Common Law are also at less number because they value the
importance of living together only if they went through the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Health Implication:
People belonging to Single status are on less risk of stress which is

mainly because they face fewer problems than those who are engaged in marriage
because most of married individuals already have families. Dealing with a family is a
risky job because it indicates that heading or leading a family is making yourself
survive including the lives of the family members.
It was said in the book entitled Principle of Community Health that

married couples have the potential in financial matters because they work hand-in-
hand in supporting and providing the needs of their families. But it may also lead to
poverty when family planning is not practiced properly. On the other hand, widows
and separated have difficulties in supporting their own families both financial and
also in health matters because of the absence of guiding partners in life.
A conflicted marriage or long-term relationship can have detrimental

effects on health, while a good one can protect them from disease and speed
recovery. Researchers have investigated that a good marriage could lower the odds
of developing metabolic syndrome, a collection of risk factors that include, among
other things, abdominal obesity, glucose intolerance, and high blood pressure.

I. RELIGIOUS SECTOR
Any institution of an individual to express one’s belief in an the
existence of a divine power. A religion is the foundation of one’s spiritual
aspect which strengthen one’s emotional and physical health

OTHERS 14 7.77
Total 1801 100
FIGURE 9
Frequency and Distribution of Religious Status in
As of August 2009
Interpretation:
Based on the survey in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 with regards to

the religion of each individual, the Roman Catholic religion has the largest number,
which counts 1528 individuals with a percentage of 84.84%. This datum is followed
by the religion Iglesia Ni Cristo with a number of 132 individuals or 7.33% of the
population. Next in line is the religion Born Again with a number of 95 or 5.22% of
the population. With a number of 30 or 1.67% of the population, follows the
Protestant religion. The next rank is shared by 2 religions which are 7 th day Adventist
and Mormons, each having 0.11% of the population. Lastly, the last in the ranking
which is shared by 2 religions are Islam and Latter Day Saints which has no member
at all or 0% of the population.
Analysis
Majority of the population belongs to Roman Catholic. This is predominantly

because of the influence of the Spaniards who invaded the Philippines in the 17 th
Century, which conquered the country for 333 years. This implies that the cultures
and values of the Spaniards have already been adopted by the Filipinos. On the
other hand, Islam and Latter Day Saints had no respondents which made them rank
last in the .sequencing of religious sectors but the least number of respondents fell
under the Mormons and the 7th Day Adventist. This is mainly because these
religions were just established in this generation and they are just making their way
to call for believers and this has a connection to the earliest inhabitants of the place.
Health Implication:
Since majority of the population is Catholic, majority of them practices

the same beliefs and traditions, and the way they engage in activities held in the
community are almost the same and connected to Catholic belief. The Catholic
religion does not have many restrictions when it comes to diet and cultures which
makes them more prone to risks of having any kinds of diseases. The advantages of
having a Catholic Religion is the free will ehcih will not restrict the physical and
social pleasures of anyone who belongs to that religion. Fiesta and Christmas are
the events of which the Filipinos are not able to regulate their eating habits. Though
this does not affect much of the health of a person, it can affect the health of those
who are in risk of any diseases like hypertension. It is proven that cholesterol
heightens and triggers the decline of the health of a person at risk of hypertension.
There are also health promotion programs that deal a lot with religion such as Family
Planning especially the artificial kind of family planning. Even if they want to perform
tubal ligation, they are not allowed to do so because it is against the religion. Also,
abortion is prohibited in most of the religion because it declines the favor of pro-life
and decreases the number of possible believers in all of the religions.

J. LENGTH OF RESIDENCY
This refers to the number of months or years the families stayed in Barangay
Bagong Barrio 150. It can be considered permanent or transient. This was gathered
during the community survey. The length of residency would be significant in
determining the patterns of migration within the community.

9%
TRANSIENT
PERMANENT
91%
Interpretation:
Most of the families stayed in Bagong Barrio 150 for more than 6 months.
Thus, they are permanently living in the said community. They account for 348
families which is equal to 91% of the total number of families surveyed. On the other
hand, few families stayed in the community for less than 6 months. The transient
group covers 34 out of 382 families surveyed or 9%.
Analysis:
The data gathered shows that most of the families are permanently living in
the community. This is because they are living in the community since birth and they
inherit their lands and houses from their parents. This is reflected on our data of
house and land ownership. Thus, the familiarity of the people about their
surroundings can increase their awareness from different leaders and facilities
available within the community. According to research, the most common factor of
migration is the economic imbalance between the urban and rural areas. The lesser
the migration, the lesser is the gap. Since we only have 9% who are transient or
newly migrated, there is a possibility that the economic stability of rural areas is no
longer far as compared to that of the urban areas.
Since almost all of the families are already permanently living in the
community, their familiarity about the place would be advantageous on their health.
Being in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 for many years would increase their
awareness on different health programs offered in the health center that may be
beneficial or needed by the families. This high awareness may result to increase in
demand and utilization of health services within the community.

Approaches, Issues, pages16, 42)
K. PLACE OF ORIGIN
This refers to the place where different families originated, where they have
been from. It could be in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao. The data about the place of
origin were collected from during the community survey. This would be significant
would be significant in determining the values that affect the community people.

Luzon
Visayas
Mindanao
86%
Interpretation:
Most of the people or families living in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 came
from Luzon. They cover 331 families or 86% of the total families surveyed. The next
is from Visayas region which takes 12% or 44 families surveyed. The last is from
Mindanao. There are 7 families originated from Mindanao which take 2%.
Analysis:
The above information show that many people or families in Bagong Barrio
150 came from Luzon. This is mainly due to the fact that Caloocan City is part of
Metro Manila, thus a part of Luzon. The geographical boundaries separating Luzon
from Visayas and Mindanao may be a contributing factor why most people are from
Luzon. The length of residency may also serve as a basis because most of the
people in the community are already living permanently. Their parents and relatives
may also reside in that particular area, thus making them heirs to the houses or
lands they are currently settling.
Health Implication:
The values and beliefs of the community people affect their decisions toward
the prevention of disease and the promotion of health. Talking about the minority
group or those 7 families who are coming from Mindanao, their practices are
different from those who came from Luzon. “There is a wide gap exists between the
people of Mindanao and Luzon especially the Muslims and the non-Muslims
perceptions and culture in the contemporary times.” This may serve as a barrier in
communication and understanding among people especially in matters related to
health practices. They have a different code dealing in specific detail regarding
health issues, offenses, personal relations, conflicts and practices which indicate or
suggest the kind of culture observed in their places. To attain common goal, there
must be unity of thoughts and practices existing in the community. There are 269 out
of 382 families surveyed coming from Barangay Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan City,
their practices are most probably the same because they all belong in the same
community for the past years. This is reflected on our data about length of residency.
Most families are permanently living in Bagong Barrio 150, which means majority
stayed in the community for more than 6 months. Many of these families originated
from Luzon which means there is less difference in the dialects being used as
compared to those in Visayas and Mindanao, thus understanding would be easier.
With this, there would be easy dissemination of information. Having the same level
of understanding in a certain aspect of health makes it easier for them to act and
prevent certain diseases that could possibly affect the health of the community.

L. ETHNIC BACKGROUND
An ethnic group is a group of humans whose members identify with each

other, through a common heritage that is real or presumed. It is further marked by
the recognition from others of a group's distinctiveness and the recognition of
common cultural, linguistic, religious, behavioral traits as indicators of contrast to
other groups.
The Philippine islands are inhabited by a number of different ethnic groups

that is why we are studying the different ethnic backgrounds present in Brgy. 150.
This is in relation to the study of the cultural background of their community. By
knowing these things, we will be able to identify the different health practices of the
people in relation to their culture.

FIGURE 12 Graphical Representation Frequency and Percentage Distribution
of Ethnic Background of Bagong
Barrio Brgy.150 Caloocan City 2009
Interpretation:
By gathering data from the people of Bagong Barrio, Brgy.150, we have come
up with a table and a graph consisting of all the ethnic groups present in their
community. It is very noticeable that most of the people, 52% to be exact, are
tagalong or grew in Manila basically. This implies that more than half of the
community people have the same beliefs. They don’t have any beliefs that are rare
in the urban community.
The next dominant ethnic group in Brgy.150 is the “Bisaya”. They compose of the
10% of the community. These people are from the Visayan province and practice
some things that are not common in the urban side of the Philippines, specifically
speaking the Visayan language, or also known as “Binisaya”.
The Ilocano people occupy 9% of the community. They are the people who
grew and got their culture from the region of Cagayan Valley. The Kapampangans
who originally came from Pampanga are next in the list.
The “Bicolano” is one of the ethnic group found in our community but
households having this ethnicity are very few and can easily be counted. The
BIcolanos are from the Bicol Region found in Luzon. There are also few inhabitants
of Pangasinan living in Brgy.150, and their ethnic background is called
Pangasinense. Next to that is the population of the Waray which consist of the 3% of
the whole population of the community.
2% of the people in the community belongs to the Ilonggo group and the other
1% belongs to Aklanon. Both of these groups belong to the Visayan ethnic, the
share the same culture but also vary in very little ways like with their dialects.
Beside the ethnic groups that are mentioned above, there are still some other
ethic groups present in the community but they only takes in so little percentage of
the population. These ethnic groups that are very rare in Brgy.150 are Kiniray-a,
Batangeno, Davaoeno, and the Itawes.
Analysis:
Manila is home to many ethnic groups. There has been a regular migration of
various groups in Manila over the centuries. Spanish colonization in Philippine has
resulted in settling of Spanish people in plains in and around Cavite and Manila.
Some of Manila Ethnic Groups are:
 Bicolano: This group has its origin in southeastern Luzon and is also found in
Manila.
 Illocano: People of this group originate in the coastal areas and lowlands of
north Luzon. They had migrated to many areas of Philippines including
Manila.
 Ibanag: The people of this group form an ethnic minority. Kapampangan: This
is the seventh largest ethnic group of the country. There has been constant
migration of this group to Manila.
 Tagalog: It was the first ethnic group to settle down in Manila.
 Moro: Moro is the largest non-Christian, multi-lingual ethnic group of
Philippine. This group also has migrated to inhabit in Manila.
 Visayan: Visayans are multi–lingual racial group. Majority of Visayan people
residing at Manila do not speak Visayan language.
With this information, we can say that it’s normal that we can find many ethnic
groups in Brgy.150, Caloocan City since it belongs to Metro Manila. As observed, it
is true that most of the people in Metro Manila are Tagalog or we might as well say
that they don’t have ethnic backgrounds. Also, there are a few and varying types of
ethnicity which is just common in any place of the Philippines due to migration.
With regards to the different ethnic groups present in the community, we must
ensure that the minority are also being given attention. We need to make sure that
their needs and medical profile are given attention and not just being snob.
Knowing that there are many ethnic groups present in our community, nurses
would have to learn the different practices of these groups to provide quality care.
Other than that, the medical group should be open, aware and updated for the
possible diseases that may possibly occur because of the different ethnicity present.
The medical team should learn more techniques on giving care to those
ethnic groups that have different practices from the majority; therefore, nurses
should give more attention to the minority so that they won’t feel out casted.
IX. SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL DATA
A. HIGHEST EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT
Educational Attainment refers to the highest level of education that a person

attained. It can be categorized as a College Graduate, High School Graduate,
Elementary Graduate, Vocational and No Formal Education.

FIGURE 13 Frequency Distribution Showing the Educational attainment of the
surveyed Population in Brgy. 150 Bagong Barrio Caloocan City
As of August 2009
Interpretation:
The data shows that 672 or 37.31% of the total population surveyed in Barangay
150, Bagong Barrio Caloocan City has attained High School level while 323 or
17.93% has attained Elementary and 281 or 15.60% has attained College. The least
which is 74 or 4.11%has attained Vocational Level.
Analysis:
Most people surveyed has only attained High School level because majority of the
family surveyed prioritize food as their top one priority, followed by electric bills and
water bills which are immediate expenses of the family rather than school fees or
education. In addition, most people surveyed didn’t pursue College level because of
the availability of Colleges around Bagong Barrio which are affordable for them and
this can also be related to the number of children they have, they sometimes prioritize
their younger children to study specifically those in the Elementary level because they
don’t pay that much for their education than those who are old enough that can
already work and earn money for their living
Health Implication:
Most of the people in Barangay 150 have low educational attainment. In this case
most of the people are not that knowledgeable about health matters which may lead
them to become dependent on what they already knew which is not within the
standard of health. Inadequate knowledge about health, wellness and disease
prevention makes them ignorant on what is good and what is bad for their health.
Those that stop pursuing their studies and currently unemployed may practice
sedentary lifestyle and continue their vices which can cause them to have different
complications like Hypertension, Cancer and many more. These effects may lead to
increase mortality and morbidity rates.
B.STATUS OF EDUCATION
It tells about the present condition of education attained by the people in the
community. No formal education refers to individuals who is 7 years old and above that
is currently studying in Elementary, Not applicable are those individuals 6 years and
below who is not studying and who doesn’t enter elementary and Stopped studying are
those who had stopped going to schools. Presently studying are those who are still
studying and finished studying or Degree Holder are those that had finished college.

Interpretation
The data shows that 795 or 44.14% of the total population surveyed in
Barangay 150, Bagong Barrio Caloocan City has stopped studying. The least which
is 46 or 2.55% has no formal education.
Analysis:
As we surveyed for the Educational status of Barangay 150 Bagong Barrio,

795 or 44.14% have stopped studying and this can be related to financial problem
and majority of the family surveyed prioritize food as their top priority followed by,
electric bills and water bills which are immediate expenses of the family rather than
school fees or education. In addition, most people surveyed stop studying because
they can’t afford to send their children anymore due to lack of financial resources
that will support their children in pursuing their education. This also can be related to
the number of children they have, they sometimes prioritize their younger children to
study specifically those in the Elementary level because they don’t pay that much for
their education than those who are old enough that can already work and earn
money for their living.
Health Implication:
Education is one of the major factors that determine the socioeconomic status
of an individual. It affects the health of a person especially when he or she is stop
studying because they cannot get or learn additional knowledge regarding on health
matters that are frequently learned at school. This may lead to another problem like
having vices because of no priority in life and one thing more crime will increase.
Having this kind of life may threaten the life of an individual like having several kinds
of diseases like hypertension, cancer because of smoking and intake of alcoholic
beverages. These may cause them to have an unhealthier lifestyle or sedentary
lifestyle and environment that is not conducive to health.
C. NUMBER/PERCENTAGE OF OUT-OF-SCHOOL YOUTH (OSY) AGES 7 TO 20
STOP STUDYING
It is measurement in order to identify the members ages of 7 to 20 years old

who are not studying. It could also monitor the present situation in Barangay Bagong
Barrio 150 in terms of education status.

FIGURE 15 Percentage Distribution of Number/Percentage of Out-of-School
YOUTH (OSY) ages 7 to 20 Stop Studying In Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150
As of August 2009
Interpretation:
Based on the data gathered, the highest frequency and percentage of the
status of presently studying, 193 of them with 36.76% belong to the male presently
studying. Under out of 38 or 7.74% are classified as male stopped studying while
176 or 33.52% are female presently studying, 118 person or 22.48% are female
stopped studying. This is shown that families can sustain the educational finances in
the family and it is the reasons why there is a high rate of presently studying
compared to stopped studying. Another reason is that education included as one of
the list in the priority expenditures of the family.
Analysis:
Among total population surveyed on Bagong Barrio 150: 156 or 29.71% in the
population from 7 to 20 years old have stopped studying while 369 or 70% in the
population are presently studying from ages 7 to 20 years old. One of the factors
why the barangay has many numbers of presently studying because 75% of the
population is within the threshold. They could afford to send their members in the
family in school. Next, they have prioritized education as important on their life in
order to survive. They want to change life into productive and meaningful life. Last,
they include education as one of the prioritized need on their expenditure. On the
other hand, economic factor availability of resources is some factors why there are
people who to stopped studying. Most of the surveyed people prioritized foods rather
that education.
Health Implication:
Based on the conducted survey, these are many presently studying in the
community rather than stopped studying. By learning, the community became more
considerate towards disadvantaged in life. These could lead to a positive implication
because of the adequate knowledge about health promotion. This may usually affect
the health of person especially when a person is not or stopped studying. It could
bring changes in his or her attention in such a way that of life which leads to the
destruction of one’s life like tobacco smoking could cause several diseases,
sedentary lifestyle, and other more.
Education is the key to the development of the nation. It also brings

about higher labor productivity, higher income, and better social mobility, better
health and sanitation, and lower fertility. The educational level of the parents is a
good predictor about the amount of health knowledge they have, and the probability
of active information seeking. By, learning the community became more considerate
towards disadvantaged in life.
D. Literacy Rate
Literacy rate is a measurement in order to identify the level of understanding

of each member in the community. It involves continuum of learning in enabling
individuals to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their
community and wider society.
TABLE 12 Frequency and Percentage Distribution of Literacy Rate
In Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150 as of August 2009
Literacy Rate FREQUENCY PERCENTAGE
Literate 1282 71.13%
Illiterate 8 0.44%
Not applicable 511 28.37%
Total 1801 100%
FIGURE 15 Percentage Distribution of Literacy Rate In Brgy. Bagong Barrio
150 as of August 2009
Interpretation:
This graph shows the breakdown of literate, illiterate people on Bagong Barrio
150 and last not applicable. This is shows that all almost of the people ages 15
above are able to read and write compared to the number of people who cannot
read and write. The graph shows the percentage of literate people which are 1282 or
71.13%, illiterate people which is 8 or 0.44% and not applicable are 511 or 28.37%.
Analysis:
The number of literate people in Bagong Barrio are high same as the
percentage in the present studying of the people ages 15 and above. There are
many possible reasons why the Barangay Bagong Barrio has a high rate of literate
compared to illiterate. 75% of the population is within the above poverty threshold
therefore most of the people could afford to improve their learning regarding writing
and reading. The members of the community have a high standard on their way of
living because they set a goal in order to enhance their knowledge so they will all
knowledgeable in terms of healthy lifestyle. On the other hand, less percentage is
belong to not applicable who are sensory disable people and 7 years old and below.
Health Implication:
Literacy is important because it could contribute to the wellness of the

community. It could improve the health status of each member in the community in
order to identify different barriers in prevention of illness. It could enhance the view
of an individual in order to have towards wellness in health promotion. It also
beneficial because it could access on different programs set by barangay officials. It
could also manage the spread of different diseases or illness might present on their
environment. It is also important in setting a prevention to become aware in might
possible effect of illness.
Literacy is not an inborn human characteristic, but rather an ability that is

learned, most often in schools. No correlation has been found between literacy and
intelligence, but literacy and educational level are closely related. Experts have long
considered literacy an important contribution to the healthy development of
individuals and societies. Most experts believe that people need a combination of
many different forms of literacy to meet the demands of modern life.
E. TOP 5 OCCUPATIONS
Occupation is an act of working and earning money to be used for living .This
Data shows the top 5 occupations of employed citizens in Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150,
this part of the community diagnosis is important to know how people in this
community earn their living.
TABLE 13 Frequency and Percentage Distribution of Top 5 occupations a

surveyed In Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150 as of August 2009
Occupation Frequency Percentage

Vendor 78 13.24%
Driver 68 11.55%
Factory worker 32 5.43%
Sales Person 14 2.38%
Businessman 13 2.21%
Others 384 65.19%
TOTAL 586 100%
FIGURE 16 Frequency Distribution of Top 5 Occupation
In Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150 as of august 2009
Interpretation:
Based on the data gathered out of 589 employed citizens in Brgy. Bagong
Barrio 150 the top 5 occupations are: vendors 78 or 13.24%, driver 68 or 11.55%,
Factory worker 32 or 5.43%, Sales person 14 or 2.38%, Businessman 13 or 2.21%.
Analysis:
Most of people in the community did not finish their studies .This is the reason
why most of the top occupations only requires low of educational attainment. Poor
families that have inadequate or limited access to resources may be unable to
provide health care for themselves and also health care for them while their working.
Health Implication:
If Brgy. 150 will remain to have many vendors and drivers as top occupation,
the result is, it will be a risk for them because most requires man power which can
be related to working hazards because their job is more on physical activity .They
will be also exposed on different places where they can acquire communicable
disease and expose into different chemicals that can affect their health because
most of the employed person in the barangay is working outside the community.
F. EMPLOYMENT STATUS
It is important to know the occupational status of the sample population in
order to assess their means of receiving financial resources. This part of the CDX
will determine how much of the total population is employed, unemployed,
underemployed or not yet applicable to work.
TABLE 14 Frequency and Percentage of Occupational Status as Surveyed in

Brgy 150 As of August 2009
Occupational Status Frequency Percentage
Employed 589 32.70%
Unemployed 594 32.98%
Underemployed 33 1.83%
TOTAL 1801 100%

In Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150 as of August 2009
2%
Employed
33% Unemployed
32%
Not applicable
Underemployed
33%
Interpretation:
Based on the data gathered out of 1801 citizens, 594 persons or 32.98% are
classified as unemployed while 589 persons or 32.70% are employed and 585
persons or 32.48% are not applicable or not within 15- 64 years of age.
Analysis:
The ranks of unemployed person have exhibited an increasing trend , along

with the swelling in the labor force and the moderate performance of economy. This
study develops a natural unemployment rate based upon education attainment.
Behind this natural rate are labor force participation rates that vary positively with
education attainment; observed unemployment rates that are inversely related to
education attainment; and deviations of the observed unemployment rate from this
hypothesized natural rate that are related to several expectation-based variables.
With a lower natural unemployment rate today compared with years past, results
point to a number of education-based challenges that employers will face.
Most of the people in the community did not finish their studies, almost 795 or
44.14% stopped studying and most of them are high school graduate and no formal
education. It means that one of the reasons of unemployment in the barangay is
their educational problems related to educational status and their highest
educational attainment. If the 32.98% of unemployed, 1.83% of underemployed and
32.48% of not in working age or a total of 67.29% would rely on 32.70% of employed
people the result will be there will be insufficient resources for the community
because many people will depend on those who have jobs or employed and some
families cannot reach the required income to be able to earn the required amount of
income to reach their required threshold. Also, most of the employed people in the
barangay are working outside the community that means that there is a low available
opportunity in the community that’s why people tend to go outside to find jobs.
Health Implication:
If most of the people in the barangay will remain unemployed it can lead to
problems such as inability to provide health needs due to lack of resources, which
appears to be related to poverty. Unemployed citizens will prone to develop bad
habits such as smoking, alcohol drinking, sedentary lifestyle because they don't
have job and they just stay in their home.
G.PLACE OF WORK
This refers to where the employed/underemployed persons are working;

whether outside the community or inside the community

Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan City as of August 2009

total employed surveyed in Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150,Caloocan City as of
August 2009
outside the
37% community
63% inside the

community
Interpretation:
63% or 353 out of 562 employed are working outside the community and only
37% or 209 out of 562 employed are working inside the community.
Analysis:
There are many who are working outside their barangay because there are
more job opportunities outside the barangay. There are no readily available jobs
inside the community because of the low percentage of the industrial sites. Only
10% in the whole land area of Caloocan covers an industrial field. Unemployment
inside the community increased due to lack of entrepreneurship and livelihood
programs in the barangay, thus, more citizens of the barangay are working outside
the community.
Health Implication:
If there are more people working outside the community, there will be a cross
transmission of the diseases from outside the community to the inside and vice
versa. This may increase the morbidity rates of Barangay 150.
Furthermore, if the place of work of most of the employed residents is outside
the boundaries of the community, it would imply that they are away for most of the
day. There will be less people who are aware about the different health programs of
the barangay most specially the new heath programs of the barangay because most
of the employed are working outside the community. And if they are not aware about
the programs they will not be able to utilize heath programs of the barangay.
H.OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME
It refers to the source of income apart from the income coming from their main job.
TABLE 16: Frequency and Percentage distribution of other sources of

Income of the total households surveyed in Brgy. Bagong
Other sources of income Total Percentage

Sari-sari store 24 6.3%
pension 17 4.40%
From relatives 14 3.7%
rentals 12 3%
Selled products 6 1.6%
none 309 81%
Total 382 100%
Interpretation:
81% or 309 out of 382 surveyed households don’t have other sources of
income. 6.3 Or 24 out of 382 households get their other source of income from sari-
sari store. Other households get theirs by pension, from relatives, by rentals and
selled products.
Analysis:
Most of the families in the barangay don’t have other sources of income and
34% of the citizens surveyed in barangay are unemployed. This is due to lack of/
inadequate entrepreneurship and livelihood program inside the barangay.
Health Implication:
If most of the people in the barangay are unemployed and don’t have other
sources of income, they will have low income, And if most families have low income,
more families will be having poor nutritional intake because they have limited income
to buy food, so they will just buy cheaper food and most of the time cheaper food are
less in nutrition. And then more families will have poor nutritional status. Or another
case is, if they have low income they will more prioritize their basic need such as
food and they will not have savings for emergency purposes like for health purposes.
IX. I and J.BELOW POVERTY LEVEL THRESHOLD AND
ADEQUACY OF INCOME
POVERTY THRESHOLD
-this refers to the minimum level of income deemed necessarily to achieve an

adequate standard of living in a given community.
ADEQUACY OF INCOME
-this pertains to the relationship of family monthly income compared to their

total expenses in a month. This also denotes whether the income of the family is
sufficient to their expenses or insufficient to their expenses.

Total 382 100%
FIGURE 20 Percentage Distribution of Poverty Level Threshold and Adequacy

of Income Compared to the Expenses in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150,
I.BELOW POVERTY LEVEL THRESHOLD
Interpretation:
The percentage of the community people who are in within threshold is

higher when compared to those who are in below poverty level threshold. There
were 287 families who are within threshold. Thus, the remaining 95 families are not
within threshold.
Analysis:
In the survey, there is 75.14% who are within threshold; it only means that
there are a small percentage of families who are not within threshold when
compared to it. But the percentage of those families who are not within threshold is
an indicator that there are still problems in the community with regards to
employment, no. of family members, highest educational attainment, expenditure,
and other sources of income.
In employment, there is still a problem when it is connected to the income

because there are also unemployed. When it talks to the no. of family members,
there are families who are exceeding in no. the reason why they are not in poverty
level threshold. The highest educational level also affects the income because a low
highest educational attainment may result to a low level job. The percentage of
unemployed is higher than unemployed because most of them only attained high
school as they highest educational level. The percentage of elementary is next to it.
The highest expenditure, the higher the possibility of having insufficiency in money
especially if they are lacking knowledge for it.
Health Implication:
Insufficient income may affect the health of every member of the family by not
meeting the basic needs. For example, malnutrition, it is because proper nutrition or
inadequate intake of food in both quantity and quality is not being met due to
insufficient money. Malnutrition is one of the problems in the Philippines.
If the percentage of the families who are within threshold is 100%there is a

possibility that the people in the community will be healthy. The rate of morbidity and
mortality will be lessen because the people living in the community have the
capability to buy their medicines and to go to the hospital for the check-ups. And if
the scenario is the exact opposite of it, the percentage of morbidity and mortality will
increase, because they don’t have enough money for their health. The dependency
ratio will also increase in number if below poverty level threshold is continuously
increasing. These people who do not a work (unemployed) will depend to their
parents for their needs.
J. ADEQUACY OF INCOME
Interpretation:
The resident in the community who have sufficient to expenses and is within
threshold has the highest number. Within threshold; insufficient to expenses (11%)
and not within threshold; insufficient to expenses (10.73%) is most likely the same
when it comes into percentage or numbers.
Analysis:
In the surveyed community, the percentage of families who are within

threshold and sufficient in income has the highest. It means that most of the people
there have the knowledge in using their money, in controlling their monthly
expenditure, and in controlling the number of the family member so that they
wouldn’t be shortened to the poverty level threshold.
Community people would be lacking about the knowledge of the effect of

income in their health due to their low educational attainment.. With that, their
income whether low or high, they would not be able to economize their income
properly. In the survey, most of the people living there are only high school graduate.
Those who have their low income may not be thinking for their health just to spend
less on their money. This is because they want to save money as much as possible.
Health Implication:
Since majority of the community people are within threshold and sufficient to
expenses, the community will have the capacity to spend for their health and use
these resources to improve their health status. In addition, if there are health related
programs in the community it will be easier for the families to implement it.
If their income is sufficient for them, they can ensure that they have a better
health status as compared to those who are not. If the income is insufficient, the
dependency ratio again will increase so with the morbidity and mortality rate.
A family who is under the category of not within threshold and insufficient to
expenses has a chance or at risk to a health problem like malnutrition, and other
unhealthful lifestyle, and personal habits or practices due to the financial constraints.
The better income leads to better health. A further characteristic of health human
capital is that it is positively correlated with other forms of human capital. Healthy
individuals, for instance, are on average better nourished and better educated than
individuals in poor health However, although both health and education increase
labor productivity, health has the additional feature that by reducing the time spent in
sickness, it increases the total amount of time available to produce money earnings
and commodities, as well as the time available for leisure.
K. EXPENDITURE PRIORITIZATION
Expenditure prioritization is a process of establishing favored sequence or

ranking of the family’s monthly expenditure. Moreover, it is the simplest way for us,
to determine how people in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 pay attention to human’s
basic needs.
Top Five Prioritized Expenditure:
Top 1- Food
Top 2- Electricity
Top 3- Water
Top 4- School fees
Top 5- House rent
Interpretation:
Majority of the total population regarded food as the top priority, and then
followed by electricity, water, school fees and house rental. Conversely, there are a
small number of people considered other expenses as the least priority like the
transportation allowance, phone bills, clothing and health care.
Analysis:
Food is our top priority. This is basically because of the continuous surge on
the prices of the basic human needs or goods in the local market, hence, oblige
them to allot huge part of their income for food. Because of poverty, people in
Bagong Barrio 150 tend to prioritize the most significant needs than those of the
others. Electricity notches second. There are 202 families, according to the survey
that uses refrigerator which consequently requires electricity. Water on the other
hand, landed on top 3. This is primarily because it costs less than the other
expenditure; so therefore, few families give less priority on this need for they can
easily afford the required monthly bill.
Other expenditures such as health care and phone bills are last on their priority.
Survey shows that 11% of the covered population has an income that is within
threshold but insufficient for expenses. Their budget is just enough to meet basic
needs such as food, water, electricity and school fees, and can’t cover out other
expenses such as health care.
Health Implication:
The physical needs inherent in all human beings: among them are the needs for
oxygen, food, fluids, sleep and procreation to assure the continuation of human
existence. Physiological needs High frequency of families who prioritize food as their
basic needs decreases the frequency of families who are at risk of hunger and
malnutrition. Meeting the physiological needs will automatically enable them to
acquire the need for security.
In contrast, people who perpetually ignore giving funds for their health care
will be provided with less medical attention or medical treatment. Hence, increases
morbidity rate.
L. RESOURCES OF HEALTH CARE
Health Care Resources refers to the Local Government and Non-

governmental agencies that comes into existence to finance health care, provide
blanket of medical services and provide health maintenance and treatment in
exchange of predetermined monthly payment.

TOTAL 440 100%
FIGURE: Percentage distribution of families with public and private health care
resources
Interpretation:
There are 45% or 199 numbers of families who get their health care support
through SSS (Social Security System). 25.68% or 113 families avail health care
finances using Philhealth and 12% or 53 families through Health Insurances. GSIS
(Government Service Insurance System) gained 4.55%, while 6.59 or 29 families
obtained Health Cards. 5.68% or 25 families got Health Savings and 0.23% is
belonging to others. On the other hand, there are still 34.54% or 133 families who
aren’t able to get these kinds of insurances.
Analysis:
Section 11, Article XIII of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the
Philippines declares that the State shall adopt an integrated and comprehensive
approach to health development which shall endeavor to make essential goods,
health and other social services available to all the people at affordable cost. Priority
for the needs of the underprivileged, sick, elderly, disabled, women, and children
shall be recognized. Likewise, it shall be the policy of the State to provide free
medical care to paupers.
65.96% of families in the community are able to achieve health care

resources. This is primarily, because they belong above the poverty line and is
working to agencies that have the benefits of medical assistance. Conversely,
34.54% or 130 families are not able to avail of these health care resources.
Basically, this is due to low educational attainment which therefore, leads them in
acquiring jobs that don’t have the benefits of private medical services or health
insurances such as SSS and Medicare. Insufficient knowledge about the application
of Government Health Care source like Philhealth and GSIS is another contributing
factor that leads them in not availing of health care sources.
Health Implication:
65.96% of families, who have health care resources, will alleviate the
burden of Health Center in providing health care to large number of families.
Moreover, it will minimize expenditures, and thus increasing the number of people
that will be accommodated by free medications and other health services.
Lack of health insurance is related to income. Persons with incomes below

or near the poverty line level are at least three times as likely to have no health
insurance coverage as those with incomes twice the poverty level or higher. Low
income has been associated with relatively higher rates of infectious diseases
(tuberculosis, AIDS), problems with substance abuse, rape, violence and chronic
diseases. Thus, those with the greatest need for health care are often those least
able to pay for it. Even though some government assistance is available, eligibility
for government insurance programs and benefits varies considerably from state to
state and is continually being reevaluated.
M. Land and House ownership
Land Ownership is an object or right that can be owned. Ownership involves,

first and foremost, possession; in simple societies to possess something is to own it.
Beyond possession, ownership in modern societies implies the right to use, prevent
others from using, and dispose of property, and it implies the protection of such
rights by the government. Ownership may be public or private. Public ownership is
ownership by the government. Private ownership is ownership by an individual.

FIGURE 21 Percentage Distribution of Land Ownership in
Barangay 150, Bagong Baryo, Caloocan City
as of August, 2009
Interpretation:
Out of 382 completely surveyed families, majority of them have their own
land. Land owners have a total percentage of 202 (53%) followed by Leased to own
7 (2%) then Rent free 141 (37%) and finally rented with a 32 (8%) percent.
Analysis:
Data showed most of the families that were surveyed in Bagong Bario 150 owned
their land, in which most of the families living in that certain place owned their
houses. Most of the families we had interviewed living in that place are all
permanent residents because it is more practical to their part if they have their own
land than renting if they have stayed there for long. The least to own is the least type
of land ownership because there is no available vacant lot or rental lot for them to
own in the future. Since there is about 63% percent of the surveyed population that
were employed are working outside the community, people would have just rent their
houses than lease to own their house. Some
Health Implication
Owning a land is a legal right to do whatever you want with your land without
interference from anyone else, including government. Owning a land reduces
financial burden, meaning you don’t have to rent a land where in you can construct a
house for your family. It also shows in the numbers of the family that own a land tend
to secure their home for their own health and according Maslow’s of needs owning
a land could not only provide safety and security but also reduce stress. The effect
of owning a land in the community is free from financial burden and the money that
allotted for renting a land should allocated for the income of their health. Owning a
land can reduce having risk communicable diseases.
Home ownership for us Filipinos is the foundation of our security and

constancy; it is an abstraction, a source of power and wealth, a tool for other
purposes also it is use for the long term benefit of not only the people but also their
community.

FIGURE 22 Percentage Distribution of Home Ownership in

Barangay 150 Bagong Bario, Caloocan City
as of August 2009
Interpretation
The table shows that most of the families that were surveyed have their own
houses. Home ownership that is owed is exactly 207 (54%) and175 (46%) for not
owned.
Analysis:
Most of the resident that were surveyed in Bagong Bario owned a house since
most of them owned already a land of their own, they are also permanently residing
in that place and it is already their place of origin, it is more practical to their part if
they have their own land than renting if they have stayed there for long and
especially when their occupation or work is within the community already. Somehow
there is also a great number of residents who don’t owned their houses because
structures of houses there are apartment style where in several of the residents
owned those apartments.
Health Implication:
Home ownership provides many benefits far beyond financial growth. It’s a
place you can make your own; raise a family; share precious moments; and, feel
safe and secure. The road to home ownership is a process, which includes
preparing yourself both emotionally and financially
According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, home belongs to the physiologic

need which is everyone’s basic needs. All people have the same basic needs are
influenced by their culture. Throughout their lifetime individuals strive to meet needs.
A person’s perception need and his/her response to satisfy a need may be influence
by a stimulus
Home Ownership greatly affects the daily living of the residents in community
because they are aware of having an adequate living space which minimizes the
spread of diseases and lessens the number of persons living in the squatter’s area.
Aside from preventing diseases, they also have an assurance of having a shelter
that they can call their own for a long time. Owning a house in the community is free
from financial burden and the money that allotted for renting a house should be
allocated for the income of their health care services.
N. Type of construction Materials
A construction material is an artificial engineering material made from a

mixture of cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates, and a small amount of air,
and woods.
TABLE 20 Frequency Distribution of Construction Materials in

Barangay 150, Bagong Bario, Caloocan City as of August 2009
Common Materials used Frequency Percentage
Light 30 8%
Strong 191 50%
Mixed 161 42%
Total: 382 100%
FIGURE 23 Percentage Distribution of Construction Materials in

Barangay 150, Bagong Bario, Caloocan City
as of August 2009
Interpretation:
The table shows that most of the families have a strong type material used in
constructing their houses, 30 families used light materials which is 8% of the total
population. Strong -191 families, (50%) and Mixed -161 families, (42%).
Analysis:
In Barangay Bagong Bario 150, majority (50%) of the families uses strong
materials in building their houses. Since majority of the respondents owned their
land which is about 53% and house which about 54% ,they have the tendency and
capability to build their houses with strong materials. It can also be related to the
availability of the resources in building houses, strong materials are more prevalent
nowadays because of change in trends in lifestyle and generation. Least houses are
built with light materials because majority of them are within the threshold which is
about 64.14% with sufficient to expenses.
Health Implication:
Materials used in constructing a house affect the safety of each member of

the family. If the material is free from any disaster like flood and earthquake because
the foundation of their house is strong. Families who own a concrete houses are free
from accidents caused by strong winds and also fire, because it is made from
cement. Therefore, the stronger the materials used in building houses the safer the
health of the family who resides. Moreover, it can also reduce the accidents related
to the children like for example hanging nails, if the house is made of woods.
O.PERCEIVED ADEQUACY OF LIVING SPACE
Defined as sufficient living space, for them to perform their every day routine.
Each member of the family should have at least 6 sq. m space in their house. House
should consist of a bedroom that is sufficient for the whole family.

Interpretation:
77.49 % of the residents of Brgy. 150 is adequate in their living space, ¾ of

the household that we surveyed is having a sufficient living space. 22.51% is having
a inadequate living space.
Analysis:
Most of the families perceived their house adequate for them although their
perception is not within the standard this may due to what they have learned or
attained in their education or their educational attainment, there about 37.31% who
attained high school, 17.93% attained elementary level and 15.60% attained College
level, with this attainment of the surveyed population with its least percent of College
graduate there is a chance that almost 50%of them doesn’t know the standard living
space for an individual.
Health Implication:
Most of the families in the brgy. 150 bagong barrio are having adequate living
space for them to do their every day routine this is a good factor because it will
decrease the spread of the communicable disease. Brgy. 150 are lucky because
only few are having inadequate living space. The cause of having inadequate living
space to these families is financial problems; they don’t have money to rent another
house and to buy a lot for them to extend their own house.
There is increasing attention and evidence for a positive relation between the
amount of green space in the living environment and people's health and well-being.
Several studies have shown that a more natural living environment positively
influences people's self-perceived health and leads to lower mortality risks.
However, little is known about the way in which green space exerts a beneficial
effect on health. Several mechanisms may be underlying, of which the following are
most commonly mentioned: recovery from stress and attention fatigue,
encouragement of physical activity and facilitation of social contact. A large number
of mainly experimental studies have produced strong evidence of the positive effect
of nature on recovery from stress and attention fatigue. Less is known about other
possible underlying mechanisms, such as physical activity. In this study we aim to
investigate whether physical activity is a possible mechanism behind the relationship
between green space and health.
P. PERCEIVED ADEQUACY OF VENTILATION
Everyone is affected by the quality of our air, whether indoors or outdoors.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention works to identify and measure
exposure to hazards in air and to prevent health effects related to those hazards.
Every people should acquire proper ventilation in their own houses.

Interpretation:
The information we gather in Brgy. 150 are 291 household are well ventilated
and 91 household is having poor ventilation. 76.18% of the household that we
conduct survey is well-ventilated, while 23.82% is poor-ventilated.
Analysis:
From the data gathered, it shows that majority of the family have well-
ventilated houses. This has a connection with the adequacy of living space. If the
family perceives their place as adequate for them, they associate this with the
adequacy of ventilation. On the other hand some of the surveyed family perceives
inadequacy of ventilation because they also associate it with their inadequacy of
living space. 23% who perceive that their house as inadequate for them is
proportional for those who perceive that their house is poorly ventilated which is
23.82%.
Health Implication:
Most houses situated at Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150 are well ventilated because
of the good construction and facilities of their houses which provides good circulation
of air inside their house. If too little outdoor air enters a home, pollutants can
sometimes accumulate to levels that can pose health and comfort problems.
Likewise, one approach to lowering the concentrations of indoor air pollutants in your
home is to increase the amount of outdoor air coming in.
Q. LIGHTING FACILITIES
Lighting Facility defines as the artificial means of providing light and

illumination. Facilities used already reflect adequacy and safety for the family.
Electric current, especially when used as a source of power. Candle is a molded
piece of wax, tallow, or other fatty substance, usually cylindrical in shape, with a wick
running through it. The encased wick burns slowly, giving light or providing
decoration. Battery operated is also one of another way to use a source of light
within the house.

Interpretation:
97.64% of the residents of Brgy. 150 Bagong Barrio uses electricity as their
lighting facility while 2.36% of the residents of Brgy 150 uses candle as their lighting
facility.
Analysis:
Most of the surveyed population of family uses Electricity as their source of

light because most of them can afford to pay their electric bills as evidenced by the
64.14% of the families are within threshold and sufficient to their expenses. And
most of the families’ surveyed rank electricity as their second prioritized expenditure.
Health Implication:
Electricity nowadays is a basic necessity. With connection to this, most families use
electricity as their source of energy. This is mainly because electricity gives well
lighting which is enough for the family to clearly see the field around their vicinity.
This can also imply to less accident cases inside the house because the place is
well-lighted. Electricity also allows us to enjoy many of the conveniences of modern
life
If the community has a sufficient light there would be fewer cases of accidents
and there would be less cases of poor vision because all the fields can clearly be
seen. Most Use incorrectly, it can start a house fire or cause serious electrical
injuries. Cable crisscross could cause an electrical sparks and trigger full blown fire.
R. Food Sanitation
Food sanitation is a series of protocols, which are designed to prevent the

contamination of food, keeping it safe to eat. From the moment that food is
harvested to the time that it is eaten, it is vulnerable to cross-contamination with
bacteria and other substances, which could be harmful. The key to food sanitation is
keeping food safe and clean, with all of the handlers observing personal hygiene to
avoid introducing harmful elements to food, and complying with food sanitation
recommendations. At home, common sense precautions like keeping foods frozen
or refrigerated before use, washing foods before consumption, washing hands
before handling food, cooking or reheating food thoroughly, and using separate
cutting boards for meats and vegetables are often sufficient to keep people from
getting sick. Certain foods may require additional precautions; people making foods
with raw fishes and meats, for example, need to select their ingredients carefully at
the store and handle them with special care because bacteria will not be eliminated
through cooking.
A. Food Preparation
Food preparation encompasses the sanitary methods used or utilized by the

total population surveyed in Bagong Barrio Baranggay 150 as of 2009. It includes
the total number of households that uses hand washing, wears protective garments
and others.

Interpretation:
Most of the households surveyed in Bagong Barrio Baranggay 150

utilize hand washing, as shown in the Pie chart above. And as observed from the
data given, they have the equal ratio in using protective garments and other
techniques.
Analysis:
More than half of the population preferred to use hand washing as their
technique in food preparation. That can be associated to the community’s water
facilities and resources. Since water is readily available for the respondents, hand
washing is considered the most convenient and affordable technique for them,
instead of buying protective garments such as gloves.
In addition to that, since we have 75% of the population who uses electricity,
we can conclude that they have immediate access to media such as televisions and
radio, giving them the opportunity to be aware about the advertisements regarding
hand washing.
Health Implication:
It is a good sign that almost all of the respondents that were interviewed from
Baranggay 150 utilize hand washing. If this situation continues, that the people who
use hand washing continuously increase, there is a great possibility that the people
will be able to maintain their health, and they could avoid having diseases that poor
sanitation can give. Sanitation correlates to good health. If an individual utilizes
proper hand washing, he can be to get rid of the diseases, which may be the effect
of poor sanitation. Microorganisms stay in our hands, and can be removed if we
conduct a thorough hand washing. These organisms are called transient. They can
be transmitted through many ways. That’s why hand washing is very important to
attain good health.
B. Food Storage
It is the means of holding and protecting commodities for later use. Storage
facilities are tailored to the needs of accessibility, security, and climate. It is a safe
keeping of amount of goods and also for protection against some food borne
diseases.
In all storage facilities, fireproof materials such as concrete and steel are
preferable. These materials lend themselves readily to prefabrication and have good
insulating and acoustic properties.

FIGURE 29: Graphical Representation of the Frequency Distribution Table of
the Common Food Storage places used/utilized the total Population surveyed
of Bagong Barrio Baranggay 150,Caloocan City as of August 2009
Interpretation:
As what the graphs and data has presented us, we can see that almost more
than half of the population utilized the refrigerator as their storage place before and
after cooking, in relation to that, they can’t cover theur storage place given it was
inside the refrigerator. So they have their left-over foods covered rather than
uncovered.
Analysis:
It is best that we store our foods in a safe and convenient place where we can
avoid contamination and spoilage. The data gathered showed that the households in
Baranggay 150 are ensured that they are away from contamination and spoilage.
For safety, it is important to verify the temperature of the refrigerator. Be sure

refrigerator/freezer doors are closed tightly at all times. Don't open
refrigerator/freezer doors more often than necessary and close them as soon as
possible. Spoilage bacteria can grow at low temperatures, such as in the
refrigerator. Eventually they cause food to develop off or bad tastes and smells.
Most people would not choose to eat spoiled food, but if they did, they probably
would not get sick.
Health Implication:
To retain quality and nutritive value, stock only the kinds and amounts of food
you can store properly. Proper storage means maintaining a clean refrigerator and
freezer. Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator. Arrange items so cold air can circulate
freely. To reduce dehydration and quality loss, use freezer wrap, freezer-quality
plastic bags, or aluminum foil over commercial wrap on meat and poultry that will be
stored in the freezer for more than two months.
C.Methods of Cooking
This encompasses the several ways in which the people in a household are
able to achieve the satisfaction in consuming the food they have. This includes
common ways in preparing foods are frying, boiling, steaming, and grilling.

Bagong Barrio Baranggay 150, Caloocan as of August 2009
Interpretation:
As represented by the pie chart above, the total population of Bagong Barrio
Baranggay 150 as of 2009 most commonly utilizes FRYING as their method in
preparing food for it occupies almost more than half of the pie chart, given 60.21%.
On the other hand, they least prefer to use the GRILLING method and it only
occupies 0.79% of the chart.
Analysis:
The data shows that almost more than half of the population in Bagong
Barrio, Baranggay 150 prefers to fry their food. Fats supply, another important
nutrient in the diet, exhibited a 4.5 percent growth during the 1997 to 1999 period.
Majority of fats was provided by the vegetable-based food groups such as fats and
oils, though significant contributions also came from animal-based food groups like
meat and meat products. Keep total fat intake within 20% to 35% of total calories
and less than 10% from saturated fatty acids.
Health Implication:
Frying consumes large bulk of oil into the food we cook, thus when we eat it,
it gives us too much cholesterol which will be converted into fats and can be a cause
of block in the bloodstreams of our body. It will lead to many diseases like heart
complications, diabetes mellitus..
Many different disease-causing microbes, or pathogens, can contaminate

foods, so there are many different food borne infections. In addition, poisonous
chemicals, or other harmful substances can cause food borne diseases if they are
present in food. Food loses its nutrients when not properly prepared or cooked.
These are some of diseases that can be acquired if there is no healthy way of food
preparation being implemented in each of the families. Too much intake of oils of
fats may lead to complications such as heart complications, diabetes, and other
diseases that may threaten our life.
S.WATER FACILITIES
LEVEL 1 (Point Source)
A protected well or a developed string with an outlet but without distribution

system, generally adaptable for rural areas where the house are thinly scattered. A
level 1 facility normally serves around 15-25 households and its outreach must not
be more than 250 meters from the farthest user. The yield or discharge is generally
40-140 liters per minute.
LEVEL 2 (Communal Faucet Sytem or Stand- Post)
A system composed of a source, a reservoir, a piped distribution network and

communal faucets located at not more than 25 meters from the farthest house. The
system is designed to delivery 40-80 liters of water per capital per day to an average
of 100 households, with one faucet per 4-6 households. Generally suitable for rural
areas where houses are clustered densely to justify a simple piped system.
LEVEL 3 (Water Works System or Individual House Connection)
A system with a source, a reservoir, a piped distributor network and

household taps. It is generally suited for densely populated urban areas. This type of
facility requires minimum treatment or disinfection.

There were 97.38% or 372 total families are getting their water in a water
works system which is under level 3. While 1.31% or total of 10 families are getting
their water from deep well and artesian wells which belongs to level 1 & 2.
Analysis
As of this time, Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 is using water facility under
level 3 because as what they have said it is more safe than other water sources and
they have the capacity to meet the standards because most of the families have
sufficient income.
Based on the data that we have gathered 97.38% of 372 families are utilizing
the use of MAYNILAD and NAWASA as their source of water. They primarily chose
this one as their source because for them it is more convenient to use, another thing
is that the development of water sources in the barangay is freely accessible. They
have some water refilling stations available in their vicinity that they can buy and use
as their source of water. which is tested and free from any contaminations.
Health Implications
Most of the families at Bagong Barrio Brgy. 150 is using the water facilities
under level 3 which requires a small amount of preparation or sanitizing. But there
are 20 families who uses deep well and artesian wells as their source of water. this
families maybe prone to water borne diseases like Diarrhea, Typhoid fever, LBM and
other water contamination ailments.

81.94% or 313 families are covering their house water facilities while there
are 13.09% or 50 are not storing water and a percentage of 4.97% or 19 families are
leaving their water facilities uncovered.
Analysis
Most of the family said that their storage of water should be shielded to
preclude the spread of diseases and the emergence or occurrence of dengue and
other infections.
Of all the families surveyed 81.94% or a total 313 families are covering their
house water. Based on the house to house survey the most common way of
covering their water is by the use of plastic containers with cover. This is because
plastic containers are affordable and they last. Another thing is that most families
have the privilege to acquire plastic containers when buying in water refilling
stations. Also, it is very easy to find plastic containers since plastic containers are
very common especially in the urban areas.
Health Implications
Since dengue is the major or leading problems now in some barangay and
dengue outbreak is the major complications for now. It is mainly because of
uncovered water facilities in which some vectors may be trapped in and may leave
some bacteria’s which may lead to dengue, death and other waterborne diseases.

A percentage of 94.24% or total of 360 families are covering their storage of

drinking water. 1.83% or a total of 7 families are not covering their drinking water
while 3.93% or 15 families are not applicable for the storage of drinking water.
ANALYSIS
According to the salience of the community about vectors, they are aware that
vectors exist, mostly mosquitoes and other vectors that may leave bacteria, fungi
and other viruses. Because of it 94.24% of people in Bagong barrio believe that they
should cover their storage of drinking water in order to prevent water borne diseases
like diarrhea, typhoid fever. Through it they could also avoid, the breeding sites of
mosquitoes which may cause dengue.
Health Implication
Uncovered drinking water storage may be at risk of some infections. Some

vectors may leave bacteria and viruses to water if we leave them uncovered in result
Individuals may have a probability of ingesting contaminated drinking water that may
sometimes lead to diseases.
C. Water sanitation
Method of Sanitizing
 Boiling
- Safest and surest way of sanitizing water.
- Water should be boiled 2 minutes more after reaching its boiling
point of 100 degree Celsius in order to kill bacteria, fungi and other
viruses.
 Filtration
- Is done before boiling and disinfecting.

- Some of the common household filters used in the Philippines are
sand filters, cloth filters, and intermittent water filter.
 Sedimentation
- The impurities in water are allowed to settle at the bottom of the

container for 30 minutes – 1 hour and pouring the top part in a new
clean container without creating turbulence.

have any methods of sanitizing, 3.40% or 13 families are under filtration and 1.05%
or 4 families are using sedimentation as their method of sanitizing water.
Analysis
According to public health nursing all households shall be provided with safe
and adequate water supply. As shown in the table above most people in Barangay
Bagong Barrio 150 chooses to buy commercially prepared water because for them,
buying commercially prepared water will prevent them from some water borne
diseases as said during the survey. This is primarily because of their knowledge on
taking in safe, filtered and potable water which is shown on the literacy rate of the
barangay. It shows that out of the 1801 people that we have interviewed, a total of
1282 showed to be literate and with this data, it proves that most of the people in the
barangay have the proper knowledge to know on what they should choose for
drinking safe water. Another reason is that most families can afford to buy
commercially prepared water and is manifested in the expenditure vs threshold
diagram.
It also shows that 25.39% are drinking water taken from the faucet or from
Nawasa. This portion of the population sanitizes their water through boiling. They
use boiling as a substitute because there is also a portion of the population in
Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 who’s overall family income does not comply to their
expenses thus they tend to use whatever resources they can get. For them, boiling
is the most convenient and the safest way for them to be able to drink water.
On the other hand there are 7.59% of families that does not do anything with
regards to their drinking water. This is because they are not aware of what might
result to not drinking of sanitized and safe water.
Health Implication
Without proper way of sanitizing water; Individuals may be prone to water

borne diseases like diarrhea, typhoid fever, amoebiasis and cholera. People should
be aware on what should be the precautions and choice of drinking water that they
should select.
D. Altitude and distance from toilet facility if artesian or deep well
Wells- either dug, driven bored or drilled for the purpose of obtaining water
depending upon the construction and depth of water to be reached. Method of
construction depends on the geological formation through which the well is to pass.
Deep wells or Artesian wells- depth should be more than 100 ft.

Interpretation
The data above shows that 2.50% or 6 families are using deep well as their
source of water. Which has a distance of 16 meters away from toilet facility while
1.56 % or 1 family are found to use artesian as their source of water which is 10
meters away from the toilet facility.
Analysis
It shows that in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150; 6 families are found to use
deep well as their source of water and 1 family uses artesian this is because not all
the families in the barangay have enough income to afford to have their own water
tank. Another reason would be because of lack of space in the barangay. As
observed and as seen in the spot map, the homes in the barangay are too
congested. You can also compare it to the total population of the barangay against
the total land area of the barangay. There is a shortage in space thus not all the
families can acquire the standard adequacy of living space. That is why they are just
using these facilities as a substitute for those high quality water resources.
Health Implication
Using deep well and artesian may cause health problems especially in times
of typhoon that some areas may be flooded. Deep wells and artesians are affected
by this one. It may bring a lot of diseases to people when ingested.
T. Garbage Disposal System
Waste or garbage disposal management is the collection, transport,

processing, recycling, and monitoring of waste materials. It is usually pertains to
materials produced by human activity, and is generally undertaken to reduce their
effect on health which is the environment. Waste management practices differ for
developed nation, for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial
producers. Management for non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in
metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while
management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the
responsibility of the generator.
Waste materials are classified as either refuse which pertains to solid/

semisolid waste materials other than human excreta or garbage which pertains to
decaying left-over vegetables, animal and fish material from kitchen/ food
establishments that serve as food for flies and rats. There are numerous ways to
dispose of waste materials. One of the most common type is garbage collection
which happens when garbage collectors collects waste in a community on a
scheduled dates implemented by the government. Another type is composting
which involves buying or stacking of alternating layers of organic based refuse/
garbage and treated soil arranged as to hasten rapid decay and decomposition into
compost which later use as fertilizer. Also a type of waste disposal is open dumping
that happens when an individual piled garbages into a dumping place without pits
and coverings.
Waste segregation is the partition/ separation of biodegradable, non-

biodegradable, recyclable, and non-recyclable which has a purpose to promote the
reproduction of resources. There is no waste segregation when all waste resources
are mixed up together. For sanitary purposes, trash baskets are supposed to be
covered because uncovered garbage can lead to the occurrence of communicable
and non-communicable diseases.
TABLE: The Frequency and Distribution of Waste Disposal Types
utilized in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan City

as of August 2009
Variable Frequency Percentage

ACCEPTED
Garbage Collection 371 97.12%
Animal Feed 8 2.09%
Composting 1 0.26%
NOT ACCEPTED
Open Dumping 2 0.52%
Total 382 100%
FIGURE : The Frequency and Distribution of Waste Disposal Types

as of August 2009
Interpretation
The following data listed above shows that majority of the family used
garbage collection as a way of their disposal system with a total frequency of 371 or
97.12%. Only 1 or 0.26% over 382 families in the barangay used composting
method.
Analysis
The majority of the people in the barangay used garbage collection as a way
of disposal system because it is properly implemented, accepted and monitored on a
specified day. Few of the families used animal feed as a waste management method
so as to omit their expenses for their pet’s food and to prevent spoilage.
The implementation of clean and green project is one of the cause why
composting method is accepted to utilized in the barangay. Although the barangay
implemented and accept the usage of composting method, there is only 1 over a
hundred of families used it. Also, it requires more time in finishing that method and
people need to be well-educated enough.
Health Implication
It is important that every home should have waste disposal system. Improper
garbage disposal system may lead to some diseases. Although trash cans that is
being used in garbage collection method is the cause of transmission of diseases,
this could be maintain if it is properly used and implemented. It promotes cleanliness
and lessen transmission of diseases.

The total families who covered their waste disposal composed of 241 or 63%
while 141 or 37% respondents who do not covered their waste disposal.
Analysis
Adequate knowledge of the effects that might lead the people in the
community acquire diseases from uncovered waste disposal is one of the main
cause why majority of the people covered their waste. Also, people in the community
have their available resources to buy trash container for their wastes and to avoid
vector-borne diseases such as leptospirosis.
Health Implications
Uncovered and waste can increase the presence of vectors by providing

breeding places for rats, flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches that can transmit several
diseases.
Acquiring diseases like dysentery is one of the major effects if the community
failed to utilized the method.
TABLE : The Frequency and Distribution of Segregated and Not Segregated

As of August 2009
Segregated 158 41%
Not Segregated 224 59%
Total 382 100%
FIGURE : The Frequency and Distribution of Segregated and Not Segregated
As of August 2009
Interpretation
The total frequency of respondents who segregates their wastes is 158 or

41% while 224 or 59% respondents who do not segregate their wastes.
Analysis
One factor that affects this is that 41% of the families are not aware and not
utilizing the Clean and Green Program.
Health Implications
The people in the community should be educated on proper segregation of

garbage, between the biodegradable and non-biodegradable. They should dispose
their garbage at the proper disposal area. These are also good ways in creating a
clean and sanitary environment.
U. Toilet Facilities
Types:
LEVEL I
-Non-water carriage toilet facility- no water is necessary to wash the waste into the
receiving space. Examples are pit latrines, reed odorless earth closet.
-Toilet facilities requiring small amount of water to wash the wastes into the
receiving space. Examples are pour flush toilet and aqua privies.
LEVEL II
-On site toilet facilities of the water carriage type with water-sealed and flush
type with septic vault/ tank disposal facilities.
LEVEL III
-Water carriage types of toilet facilities connected to septic tanks and/ or

sewerage system to treatment plant.
-In rural areas, the “blind drainage” type of wastewater collection and disposal
facility shall continue to be the emphasis until such time that sewer facilities and off-
site treatment facilities shall be made available to clustered houses in rural areas.
-Conventional sewerage facilities are to be promoted for construction in

“Poblacions” and cities in the country as developmental objectives to attain control
and prevention of fecal-waterborne diseases.
Ownership:
PRIVATE
-the toilet facility is exclusive for family only.
SHARED
-the toilet facility is being used with two or more families.
PUBLIC/ COMMUNAL
-the toilet facility is being used in public matter. For examples: school toilets,
public markets, malls.

Total 382 100%
FIGURE 9.28: The Frequency and Distribution of Excreta Disposal
as of August 2009
Interpretation
The data shows that the highest is 378 or 99% families are using flush type.
Only 2 or 1% families are using water-sealed latrine. Both open pit privy and balot/
pale system have a frequency of 1 or 0% of the family.
Analysis
The reason why 99% of the population are using flush type because of
availability of water source, the large amount of the population utilizes waterworks
system such as Maynilad and Nawasa because they have sufficient income and
within the poverty threshold.
Health Implication
Using flush type method of excreta disposal can easily access the spread of
disease because toilets are normally the start of waterborne diseases. It can lead to
some disease such as gastrointestinal and urinary disease if the toilets are not well
maintained. Although it can be preventive if humans can dispose their waste
properly. Using water sealed latrine can prevent the spreading of disease in
barangay if properly use.
It is significant to note that there has been an increase in the proportion of

households having sanitary toilet facilities both in the urban and rural areas but there
is also an increase in the absolute number of persons which do not have an access
to sanitary toilet facilities in the sense that the mothers still allow their children to
move their bowel elsewhere despite of the presence of toilets in their own homes.

Interpretation:
The data shows that the highest is 301 or 79% families do have a private
toilets while 68 or 18% families are sharing with one toilet facility, and only 13 or 3%
of the families are using public/ communal toilet.
Analysis:
Majority of the families in Bagong Barrio 150 has private toilet facilities. This is
due to the high percentage, specifically 64.14% of families which have within
threshold and sufficient incomes. 77.49% of the families surveyed also have
adequate space for living therefore allowing them to put their own toilet facilities in
their houses. Furthermore, 97.38% of the houses have water works systems such as
Maynilad and Nawasa.
Health Implication:
Private toilet facilities can reduce the risk of acquiring diseases. Families who
do have shared public toilets can possibly acquire diseases such as cholera, typhoid
fever, and dysentery. The method of having private toilet facilities is considered to be
the safest because it only acquires minimum of infections. However, insufficient
knowledge in handling private toilet facilities could possibly contaminate the persons
who used it.
V. SEWERAGE SYSTEM
A. TYPE OF SEWERAGE
Sewerage System provides necessary facilities for the collection of wastewater

within the household institution or commercial establishment into a treatment
plant for final disposition making sure that the receiving water is not polluted.
Blind drainage - waste water flows through a system, of closed pipes to an
underground pit or covered canal.
Open drainage - waste water flows through a system of pipes (could be
improvised from bamboo) to an open pit canal.
None - when no drainage system or container used for garbage. Waste
water from the kitchen flows directly to the ground, oftentimes forming a
nearly permanent pool. Garbage is not put in a container when disposed.

Interpretation:
The figure above shows that 86% of the total households of Brgy. Bagong
Barrio 150, Caloocan City utilizes blind drainage while the remaining percentage
accounts to open drainage and no sewerage system which is 13% and 1%
respectively.
Analysis:
Majority of houses is utilizing blind drainage because the Caloocan City

Health Department is allotting budgets on infrastructure which concerned primarily
for the maintenance of waste water treatment plant. In addition to that, 75% of the
barangay people have an income which is within threshold so they can afford for the
construction and maintenance of a blind drainage. Most of them also prefer blind
drainages because open drainages can serve as breeding sites of vectors and it
may include criteria for many health risk due to the odor that it may produce.
Implications:
Utilization of blind drainage system decreases the risk of having communicable

diseases which is a good indication that this type of drainage system may not be a
possible site for vectors like rats and mosquitoes. On the other hand, open drainage
may cause accident for children while they are exploring in the community.
B.CONDITION OF SEWERAGE SYSTEM
The sewerage system condition may be free-flowing or stagnant. This

variable is deemed important to the study for the system’s condition can be a
determinant for the risk factor that the community’s health status may be subjected
into.
*Free flowing – characterized by easy freedom in movement of water
*Stagnant – not flowing in a current or stream

Interpretation
The data shows the 88% of the drainages at Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150,
Caloocan City is free flowing and 12% of them are stagnant.
Analysis
The gathered data shows that 12% of the open drainages are found to
be stagnant due to the fact that the last reclogging of drainage system was done the
last five years. On the other hand, majority are free flowing because the committee
on sanitation of the Barangay is conducting some inspection around their area to
prevent the clogging of drainages.
.
Health Implications
A free flowing sewerage system prevents any susceptibility of certain viral

and bacterial diseases carried by vectors, such as rats, cockroaches, flies and
certain disease carrying organisms..
The presence of Stagnant Sewerage System in some areas implies that
mosquitoes have their breeding and nesting sites where they could multiply. This
means that the presence of stagnant sewerage system with as the rising of
mosquitoes in this area. As a result there would be a greater possibility in the
occurrence of diseases such as malaria, h-fever, or dengue. Stagnant sewerage
system could also induce the susceptibility of disease cause by bacteria and virus
carried by certain vectors like rats and cockroaches present in the area and to be
introduced to human through skin and food contact.
W. VECTORS
A. TYPES OF VECTORS
A vector is an organism that does not cause any disease but spreads
infection by conveying pathogens from one host to another. There are four types of
vectors present in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150. These are: mosquitoes, rats,
cockroaches and flies. We need to know the leading vectors in the Barangay to
identify the leading cause of diseases and illnesses.

Interpretation:
The most common type of vectors found in Barangay Bagong Barrio

150 is cockroaches with 334 households. Rats are the second most common which
with 288 followed by mosquitoes with 285% and the least common is flies with 140
households.
Analysis:
Cockroaches are the most numbered vectors present in brgy. 150 bagong
barrio because as per observation, their blind drainage have holes in which
cockroaches can enter and will serve as their breeding site. Therefore, when rainy
season comes rain water will flow from the canal to the drainage system. When it
happen cockroaches will come out and will go to other holes and spaces like in the
sink, found in the kitchen.
Flies are the least common vectors in the community because the brgy. Has a
systematized collection of wastes 3 times a week. Therefore garbages are not going
to be stagnant in an unofficial dumping site like posts, outside the house, sidewalks,
etc.
Health Implication:
These vectors, if not controlled, will spread different types of diseases like
malaria, dengue, cholera, dysentery and leptospirosis in the community that will give
the barangay a higher possibility of morbidity to those diseases. On the other hand,
if this will be controlled, the community can prevent the prevalence of these diseases
that can be acquired from those vectors.
B. BREEDING SITES
There are different breeding grounds of vectors. These sites can be found
within the environment. We need to know where these vectors live to be able to
make interventions on how to clean these areas so that vectors will not stay in there.

Interpretation:
The most common breeding site for cockroaches in Barangay Bagong Barrio
150 is “butas at puwang” with 137 families and the least is others (eg. Kusina,
banyo) with 17 families. The highest numbered breeding site for rats is “mga butas”
with 129 families and the lowest is others only with 3 families. The most frequent
breeding or resting site for mosquitoes is “kanal” with 113 families and the least
frequent is gulong with 7 families. Lastly, the top breeding site for flies is “basurahan”
with 143 families and the least resting site is “banyo” with 6 families.
Analysis:
The most common breeding sites of cockroaches is the holes and spaces
because they love to stay in dark places like blind drainage which is the most
common type of sewerage system in brgy. Bagong barrio 150.
On the other hand the most common breeding sites of flies is garbage
because there are 59% of the respondents who doesn’t segregate wastes, while
37% of the population leave their garbage cans uncovered.
Health Implication:
If there are many breeding sites, vectors will begin to increase and as a
result, the health of the community will be affected. Therefore, they will have a
higher risk for acquiring diseases like malaria, dengue, dysentery, cholera and
leptospirosis.
C. INTERVENTIONS
There are different ways on how to control these vectors. We need to know
this to be able to identify what kind of intervention is commonly used; its
effectiveness and if this can help the barangay eradicate the vectors.

Interpretation:
Insecticide is the highest frequency for cockroaches and mosquitoes

with 216 and 184 families respectively while “panghuli” and “pamalo” are the most
used way to control rats and flies with 136 and 61 families. Meanwhile, others (eg.
Moth balls) is the lowest frequency for cockroaches and rats with 76 and 51 families,
the 4 o’clock habit for mosquitoes with 3 families and lastly, “kandila” for controlling
flies with 5 families.
Analysis:
Most of the people in brgy. 150 bagong barrio uses insecticides to control
cockroaches and mosquitoes because it is affordable and merely available at their
barangay. Insecticide is used for a longer period of time that enables them to save
their money.
Mouse trap is mostly used to control rats. Because it is more affordable and
easy to use. Some families have the capability to improvise mouse traps from their
available resources.
Pamalo is mostly used to control flies because it is readily available any time.
They can have it without spending money and also enables them to save money.
Health Implication:
These ways can be used by ordinary people living in the community.

Using different interventions will help the community to eliminate the spread of
diseases and therefore, lower the risk of the barangay in acquiring diseases like
malaria, dengue, dysentery, cholera and leptospirosis. On the contrary, if they will
not use any methods to control these vectors, the people might have a higher risk in
getting those diseases.
The Depatment of Health has the 4-S campaign which can be used by the
whole community. The Barangay can disseminate information on how the people
can prevent themselves from acquiring those diseases.
X. DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Domestic animal means an animal of a species of vertebrates that has been

domesticated by humans so as to live and breed in a tame condition and depend on
humankind for survival.
The figure below will show the total number of households in Barangay 150,
having and not having animals.
TABLE 39: Frequency and Percentage distribution of Households with and

without animals in Barangay, Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan City
as of August, 2009
FREQUENCY
HOUSE WITH ANIMALS 130
HOUSE WITHOUT ANIMALS 634
TOTAL 764
Interpretation:
Base on the date the data has been gathered in community survey, the figure
above shows that the number of house with animals has a total number of 130 while
the number of households without animals is 634.
Analysis:
The number of households with animals is lesser than the number of

households without animals because they are threatened with the risk that they may
acquire asthma as reflected in the morbidity rates. Based on the Incidence rate of
morbidity 5.5% for every 1000 person at risk gets ill of Asthma so the people are
threatened because of this. Also they are afraid to acquired rabies and their income
is not sufficient for them to feed their animals. There are 25% of the population that
don’t meet the sufficient income.
Health Implication:
Since a few member of the community has animals in their house there is
also a lesser chance for the community to have infected of rabies. Furthermore there
will be also lesser occurrence of skin infection that can be acquired from these
animals. Other effect of it is that it can trigger asthma attacks because of their
allergies to fur.
A. DOMESTIC ANIMAL WHICH IS KEPT AND VACCINATED
The figure below will show the total number of animals which is kept and
being vaccinated. It also tells the number of animals which is not kept and not
vaccinated.

TOTAL 175 100%
FIGURE 48: Percentage distribution of animals which is kept and
vaccinated in Barangay 150, Bagong Barrio Caloocan City
as of August, 2009
Interpretation:
The percent value of animals which is being kept and vaccinated is 35.43% it
is greater than compare to the percent value of animal which is not kept and not
vaccinated that has a percent value of 9.71%.
Analysis:
In Barangay 150 animals with vaccines and kept in the house has high
percentage because a lot of them are aware how dangerous rabies is especially
those households with animals. According to the survey there were 27 percent of the
population are aware and utilizing the program on Rabies control. On the other hand
there was 42 percent of the population who were aware but not utilizing because not
all the households in the community have their pets. Furthermore even families
without animals in their house have knowledge about preventing and controlling
rabies in their community. It only means that the community has an effective
utilization of the Rabies Control Program. As a basis under the Republic Act 9482
An Act Providing for the Control and Elimination of Human and Animal bites all pet
owners shall be required to have their dog regularly vaccinated against rabies and
maintain a registration card which contain all vaccinations conducted on their dog,
for accurate record purposes. Rabies control is implemented once a year not by the
barangay but by the department of health.
Health Implication:
Since in the Barangay 150 the number of kept and vaccinated animals are
greater than the number of animals not vaccinated and kept there is a lesser
possibility for the community to acquired rabies from these animals. But if the
number of not vaccinated and not kept animals will increase there would be a high
risk for the community to get animal bites and acquire rabies from these not
vaccinated animals. If this scenario will continue there will be a significant increase
in the number of rabies cases and there would be a high demand for rabies
vaccines.
Y. CULTURAL BELIEFS AND PRACTICES
a. Primary Dialect Spoken
Description:
More than 170 languages and dialects are spoken in the country, almost all of
them belonging to the Borneo-Philippines group of Malayo-Polynesian language
branch of the Austronesian language family.
According to the 1987 Constitution, Filipino and English are both the official
languages. Many Filipinos understand, write and speak English, Filipino and their
respective regional languages.
Filipino is the de facto standardized version of Tagalog and the nation’s

official language. English is widely used as a lingua franca throughout the country,
and is the second official language of the country.
Twelve major regional languages are the auxiliary official languages of their
respective regions, each with over one million speakers: Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano,
Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Kapampangan, Bikol, Pangasinan. Kinaray-a, Maranao,
Maguindanao and Tausug.
This portion of our research study indicates the primary and other dialect
spoken in the community. By studying this, we will have an idea about the
communication system of Brgy.150 and if the people there are able to understand
each other with the way they speak. This will also contribute on identifying the
different cultural background practiced by the community.

Interpretation:
In 382 households surveyed, there are 365 or 95.55% respondents who

speak Filipino as their primary language in their family. 17 out of the 382 households
or about 4.45, who uses their provincial dialect as their primary dialect inside their
house.
Analysis:
Filipino is the primary language of the Philippines. Majority of the Pilipino lives
in manila, where the people speaks Filipino as their primary language.
With this, it is normal that most of the people in Brgy.150 speaks Filipino, also
known as Tagalog because it really has the most widespread of use in the country
especially in Metro Manila. On the other hand, it is only normal that there are few
people who speak differently from the others because they came from provinces.
This can be correlated with the migration pattern which indicates that there are only
9% of the populations who are newly migrated. This can also be associated with the
place of origin of each of the households in the family. Most of the people originated
in Luzon and we all know that most of the people in Luzon speak Filipino.
Although they came from provinces, they can understand Filipino that is why,
it is the most widely used dialect.
Health implication:
Having one primary dialect spoken inside their house and community will
make their communication easier. They will have better understanding and
socialization with one another. When it comes to the health programs and
announcement of health projects, they will have no problem in understanding one
another. Also when they speak with one primary language they can express
themselves without any misunderstanding that could influence the community’s
peace and order. The health care provider won’t have any problems regarding on
announcement of their health programs.
b. Practices And Traditions
The Caloocan city held their fiesta called “pamaypay ng Caloocan festival”
every 12thn day of February. They also have a city-wide and homogenous night time
ban policy for minors, aged seventeen years old and below from the streets , and
providing for the corresponding penalties for violators and /or offenders hereof. And
annual observance of the senior citizen’s weel, which is celebrated every 1 st week of
the month of October. The prohibition of defecation and urination in public places is
also observed
Health implication:
Having a fiesta held every year could make t6he barangay’s people to be
more socialized with each other, and it could also increase the number of tourist,
which could also increase the numbe of jobs available for them.
The annual observance of the senior citizens weel, which would be celebrated every
1st day of month of October every year, could
Prohibiting the defecating and urinating in public places within the caloocan, could
contribute in cleaning to the environmental status of the barangay.
Their city-wide and homogenous night time ban policy for minors, aged seventeen
years old and below from the streets , and providing for the corresponding penalties
for violators and /or offenders hereof, could prevent the teenagers to have a gang
war, be addicted to drugs, premarital sex, and other teenage problems.
c. Concepts about health and illness
1. Perception of a healthy person
Definition:
Perceptions of a given person's status.Individuals and societies have

long considered various definitions of health. In doing so, they usually fell into
three areas. The first, the perception of health, is either seen as a subjective
or objective phenomenon, and in terms of whether it extends beyond the
physical domain. The second includes the means of improving and
maintaining health. The third, considers the value and aim of health, Le. how
it allows one to function. These three areas are usually considered together in
historical and contemporary definitions.

person as someone who has no illnesses or is not sick, 15% believe that a person is
healthy when he or she is Health y if he or she is at the state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
There is only 0.07% of the family who has their own definition of health
Analysis:
According to the world health organization, Health is a state of complete

physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity. People in the bagong Barrio believe that a person is healthy when he or
she is not sick, one factor of this belief is because of their educational attainment.
And their beliefs could also affect their perceptions. Also their culture and traditions
might also influenced their perception and even their religion.
Health Implication:
When a person is healthy and doesn’t have any illnesses, he or she can
function well, and can do his or her task without any hindrance. the will have more
energy to do their job well and it will increase their productivity. When a person is
healthy, it will also increase his self esteem. It will also help them to decrease their
morbidity and mortality rate.
D.SELF MEDICATION
Self Medication is a medication of oneself without professional supervision so
as to alleviate an illness or a condition.

FIGURE 51: Percentage Distribution of Persons taking Prescribed and Over

as of August 2009
Interpretation:
The table shows that 208 people of the barangay take medicine which is
prescribed by their doctor and on the other hand 170 people are self prescribed or
they just buy their own prescribed medicine to their illness.
Analysis:
Families in the Barangay Barrio 150 is dominantly taking a prescribed
medicine to a physician since they are many families are within threshold. According
to the result of the adequacy of income there are 75% of the populations falling
under the category of sufficient income and within threshold. Also they don’t have
enough knowledge about basic health; they seek professional help as evidence that
they don’t know most of the programs of barangay and health center. This only
proved that most of the families in the Barangay150 are health conscious, they buy
medicine in their “botika” because it is safe and affordable. Over the counter drugs
may cause side effects to the person if it is not appropriate to the present illness.
Health Implication:
If the number of people taking over the counter drugs will increase, there will
be a possibility that the illness will remain and not cured and may cause side effects
such as allergies and complications. Moreover, incorrect dosage of drugs is another
effect of taking over the counter drugs.
The advantage of using prescribed medicine will ensure the proper treatment
of the disease. And it is more reliable and safe because it is proven by the
professionals.
E. Herbal Medication
Herbal medicine is the proper name for this practice of using indigenous
medicinal plan to relieve the common ailments of modern man. Medicinal plants
offer an alternative to costly commercial drugs, have a scientific basis regarding their
use and are accessible and widely available in the Philippines.

Yerba 6 2.16%
None 65 23.38%
Total: 278 100%
FIGURE 52: Percentage distribution of Herbal Medicine of Barangay Bagong
Interpretations:
A lot of families in the barangay uses herbal medicines but still many are not
using it. 17% of people in the bagong barrio is using Lagundias herbal medicine and
6% of people is using tsaang gubat and yerba as medicine. Maybe because only few
of the people in the barangay know these herbal plants.
Analysis:
Many people use herbal medicines because of the increasing cost of drugs,
so they will just go to their backyards and pick up plants that can be a treatment for a
particular sickness. Many local plants and herbs in the Philippine backyard and field
have been found to be a treatment of common ailments. The people of Bagong
Barrio 150 mostly uses lagundi because it can treat asthma, cough, fever, dysentery,
skin diseases (dermatitis, scabies, ulcer, eczema), headache, rheumatism, sprain,
contusions and insect bites. It can also be used as an aromatic bath for sick patients
and maybe because only few of the people in the barangay know this herbal plants.
People who are using herbal medicine is 60.07% than those who do not use
herbal medicine because it is affordable and effective. Still 23.38% of the population
is not using herbal medicine because they consider the pharmacy in the barangay is
convenient. The remaining percent is still using herbal medicines that are not proven
by the DOH.
The use of herbal medicines is a great help for our people in the barangay,
because its use is not only effective to cure illness but also you don’t need much
money to have these. But there are some illnesses that these herbal medicines
cannot treat especially if the illness is acute. Other herbal plants which are not
scientifically proven by the DOH can be dangerous because it is not proven to cure
illness.

The chart above shows that in the Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 there
is only one physician, dentist, RN and other health personnel, but even thought they
are just 6 people who are responsible to not only barangay 150 they still assure their
self that they still perform good enough to provide the right care for others.
b. REFERRAL SYSTEM
Barangay Health Workers refer the people in the Health Center by verbalization.
According to the health workers, they go house to house to gather information
regarding health to the people of Brgy. 150 so they would know what are the leading
health illnesses or factors that affect their health. Examples of these illnesses are
those that easily spread of, or Communicable diseases like cough, colds, flu and
many more. In the course of verbalization health workers are able to send
information to the individual and families which will help them go to the Health
Center and prevent the spread of diseases so that families will live an environment
that is conducive to health. Through the systematical referring of the health workers,
illnesses and diseases can prevent easily and if there are existing illness and
diseases it can be treated easily.

FIGURE 54 Percentage Distribution Of Information Dissemination System Of
Total Population In Baranggay 150 Bagong Barrio Caloocan City
As of August 2009
Interpretation
Based on the graph above, we ca see that 299 or 78.27% are able to receive
the information about the health programs of the barangay and only 83 or 21.73%
are not able to receive information about the health programs, we can see that it is
quite small compared to those people who know some information about barangay
health program. The programs are being disseminated in the use of megaphones,
fliers and through announcement.
Analysis:
A few families mentioned that there is no method used for information

dissemination in the barangay however; most of them recognized that the barangay
is using methods to disseminate information like announcements, megaphones and
fliers. Using these methods will enable the people to know and update them what
are the new health programs that will be implemented in their barangay.
Health Implication
It is necessary that in a barangay, all messages regarding the barangay

health programs will be disseminated well. If the people in Barangay Bagong Barrio
can able to know the information regarding the health programs they can utilize the
programs that the barangay implements most especially if it regards to health
matters. And also, other person’s opinion should always consider important because
everyone has their own view point, they can help on how the barangay would be
more productive, in this way people in the community will be more knowledgeable
about health. This may also lead to awareness of the people regarding on how to
live on an environment that is conducive to health.
B. HEALTH CENTER PROGRAMS
Health center programs are guaranteed programs of the Department of
Health which are disseminated to the health centers of different barangays. They
have the same objectives which are to promote health, prevent diseases and
educate people in the community. We had surveyed 382 households about the
health center programs in their barangays. We asked them if they are aware of it
and if they are utilizing or not.

Interpretation
According to the graph, the top 3 most utilized health programs are the
following: First is the Botika ng Barangay with 53.7% utilization from the total families
surveyed and only 18.3% of the total families surveyed are unaware of this program.
Second is the Expanded Program on Immunization with 47.1% utilization from
the total families surveyed and only 25.4% of the total families surveyed are
unaware of this program.
And third, the Dental Health Program with 32.2% utilization from the total
families surveyed and only 30.9% of the total families surveyed are unaware of this
program.
The top 3 least utilized health programs in the barangay are the following:
Leprosy Control Program with 2.9% utilization from the total families surveyed and
88.7% of the total families surveyed are unaware of this program.
Next is the National Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Control Program

with 4.5% utilization from the total families surveyed and 63.4% of the total families
surveyed are unaware of the said program.
And finally, Health Development Program for older persons with 5.8%
utilization from the total families surveyed and 64.1% of the total families surveyed
are unaware of this program.
Analysis:
The Botika ng Barangay program aims to promote equity in health by
ensuring the availability and accessibility of affordable, safe and effective, quality,
essential drugs to all, with priority for marginalized, underserved, critical and hard to
reach areas; but, as seen in the data, there are families who are not able to acquire
the information regarding this program and other programs for that matter since
there are families who are unaware of the said program.
The aim of the Expanded Program on Immunization is to give immunization

against 6 immunizable diseases to at least 90% of the whole population and yet,
there are still children who have incomplete and no immunizations in the barangay.
The availability and acceptability of the citizens may be the cause for this dilemma
and the fact that there are still families who are unaware of this program; ineffective
information dissemination may be prevalent within the barangay.
The targeted priorities of the Dental Health program are vulnerable groups
such as the 5-12 year old children and pregnant women, but majority of the
population of the families surveyed doesn’t belong in this age group.
The Leprosy Control Program has the highest percentage of families unaware
of the said program because the strategies of this program are case-finding,
treatment, advocacy, rehabilitation, manpower development and evaluation. The
said strategies don’t require thorough information dissemination regarding Leprosy
but rather a basic knowledge regarding its signs and symptoms for early detection
and early treatment.
National Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Control Program have the

second lowest percentage of families who are utilizing such program because there
are families who don’t go to the health center for information regarding these
programs. People in this community are used to eating fried foods because
according to them it is the cheapest and most convenient way of preparing their
food.
Health Development Program for Older Persons are limited to the elders of
the community which is only 7.7% of the total families surveyed. The main reason
why few people are utilizing this program is because of low number of older persons
within the community.
Ineffective information dissemination and implementation of these health
programs could pose a health threat to the members of the community. There could
be an increase in number of morbidity in this community and more occult disease
may develop within the community.
Health programs which are most utilized were the Botika ng bayan, Expanded
Program on Immunization and Dental Program.
Botika ng bayan is a drug outlet managed by legitimate organization and

Local government agencies. It is the leading utilized program of the barangay. Its
benefit to the community is that it provides affordable and easily accessible
medications. This program may prevent the worsening of a disease, because some
people will not immediately buy medicines for the reason of financial problems, but
now they will not hesitate to buy medicines because they know that there is an outlet
which they can buy affordable medicines.
Second is the Expanded Program on Immunization, utilizing it will give the

community a positive effect which will reduce infant mortality and decrease
occurrence of childhood diseases, like tuberculosis, measles, diphtheria etc.
Third is the Dental program, utilization of this program may prevent dental
diseases and periodontal diseases especially to children. This may provide fewer
occurrences of dental cavities, dental carries, gingivitis and other dental problems. If
this will not be utilize further, there will be a high risk of dental problems in the
community especially age group of 5-12 years old.
The least utilized programs are Leprosy Control program, National

Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Control Program, and Health Development
Program for older persons.
Leprosy Control program, if not utilize, will develop high morbidity or mortality
of this disease. There will be a high possibility of passing this disease to another if
not diagnosed early. On the other side, if this program will be utilized further, there
will be early detection of it and less possibility to pass this disease.
National Cardiovascular Disease program is a program about prevention of

heart failure/disease through health teaching about healthy lifestyle. This program is
not utilized and therefore this may be a risk for having cardiac problem to the people
in the community. If this will change, there will be a less possibility of morbidity and
mortality of cardiovascular disease in this community.
Health Development Program for older persons is the other program which is
not utilized, which is about management of illness to older person, and therefore
there will be a possibility of having a high rate of mortality within the age group of 60
and above. On the other hand if this will be further utilized, there will be a possibility
of a higher life expectancy for older persons due to low mortality rate of this age
group.

C. MATERNAL AND CHILD CARE
a. IMMUNIZATION STATUS
Immunization is the process wherein a person is made immune or resistant

to a disease. It is administered through vaccination. The immunization schedule is
used in order to provide maximal immunity to the seven EPI diseases before a
child’s first birthday. BCG is given at birth or any time after birth, DPT 6 weeks, OPV
6 weeks, Hepatitis B 6 weeks, Measles 9 months. Fully immunized category denotes
that the vaccination status is only applicable for children at least 9 months old. It is
Complete when the child has completed required vaccinations scheduled in the EPI
and Incomplete as the child has not yet received all required vaccinations as
scheduled in the EPI.
TABLE 47 Frequency and Percentage Distributions Showing the

Immunizations Status of Children (0-9 Months)
In Barangay Bagong Barrio 150
as of August 2009
IMMUNIZATION STATUS FREQUENCY PERCENTAGE
Complete Immunization 10 37%
Incomplete Immunization 11 41%
Fully Immunized 4 15%
No immunization 2 7%
TOTAL 27 100%
FIGURE 56 Percentage Distribution Showing the Immunizations Status Of
Children (0-9 Months)
as of August 2009
Interpretation
The data shows that children with incomplete vaccinations have the highest
percent, followed by the children with complete vaccinations, then children who are
fully immunized, no immunization being the last. Out of the 27 children, only 15%
were fully immunized and 37% are complete. This tells us that only few people are
aware about the importance of having complete immunizations because 41% have
incomplete immunizations.
Analysis:
Vaccination among infants and newborns (0-12 months) is required to help

the child fight against the seven vaccine preventable diseases. Infants and
newborns need to be vaccinated at an early age since they belong to a vulnerable
age group. In this case, we can see that few people know about the importance of
having complete immunizations because children with incomplete vaccinations have
the highest percentage. Many people are informed of the barangay programs but
only few are aware of the medical health programs (27.5%), so only few can utilize
it. It is because some are working in the morning and return to their homes in the
evening and because of the distance of the health center which is far from the
barangay. One health center caters a lot of barangays which makes the records not
monitored properly.
Children having incomplete immunizations are prone on having the childhood

diseases like TB, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and measles. If this will
continue in the future, there will be a high occurrence of morbidity and mortality
among children. On the other side, if this will change there will be an early
prevention of acquiring the childhood diseases. Fully immunized children are
protected from disease-causing agents. When they are protected they will be healthy
and they can perform well with their activities in school or in their homes.

b. NUTRITIONAL STATUS
Nutrients are chemical substances present in the foods that keep the
body healthy, supply materials for growth and repair of tissues, and provide energy
for work and physical activities. The major nutrients include the macronutrients,
namely; vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, the B complex vitamins and C and
minerals such as calcium, iron, iodine, zinc, fluoride and water.

Overweight 18 7%
TOTAL 200 100%
FIGURE 57 Percentage Distributions Showing the Nutritional Status Of
Children (0-6 Years Old)
As Of August 2009
Interpretation
This data shows that almost 84% of the surveyed children are within the
normal range of their weight. Normal has the highest percent in 84%, followed by
underweight 9%, overweight 7% being the last. This means that almost 100% are
still having proper nutrition and eating the right quality and quantity of food.
Analysis:
The nutrient intake of an individual should meet the Recommended Dietary

Allowances (RDA). The health of the community is influenced by the employment of
the people, awareness about nutrition programs, breast feeding, infant feeding
programs, poverty threshold, and prioritization of food. The community has a high
rate of employment (32.70%) and 64.14% of the sample populace have income that
is sufficient to their expenses and within the family income threshold. Which makes
food their most prioritized need (36.71%). 69. 16% of the children drink formula milk
while only 23.33% are breast-fed. With this data it shows that most of the children
have the means to drink milk which is needed by a child's body. There are still some
underweight and overweight because even if people are aware about the nutrition
programs,they are still not utilizing it (41.9%).
Children who are healthy are not prone in having diseases. They can perform
well in their activities. It can also help the family economically because the money
that will be spent for medicines can be used for other expenses. If the children who
are malnourished will not decrease, they will be prone to have diseases and their
immune system will be low. On the other hand, children who are overweight are at
risk for certain diseases like heart disease, diabetes, etc. These will make an
increase in the diseases specifically for underweight and overweight children.
Parents as well as children need to be aware of the value of a balanced diet to
promote growth because children eat what their family members eat. The quality and
quantity of the child’s diet highly depends on the family’s pattern of living. To prevent
future problems related to food, parents should avoid introducing high-sugar food,
drinks, and foods high in cholesterol while their kids are still very young. The family
must be the first to promote in eating the right kinds of food.

c. UTILIZATION OF FAMILY PLANNING METHODS
Family planning is a method that enables a woman to conceive a

wanted pregnancy and avoid unwanted pregnancy through a well planned decision
making and the couple’s cooperation. It can be done naturally or artificially according
to the choice of the couple.
Types of Family planning:
Natural- it is a method of family planning that involves no introduction of chemical or

any foreign body.
 Calendar method- requires the couple to abstain from coitus on the days of a
menstrual cycle when the woman is most likely to conceive (3 or 4 days after
of 3 or 4 days after ovulation).
 Cervical mucus- use of the change in cervical mucus that occurs naturally
with ovulation.
 Basal body temperature- it is the process wherein the woman takes her
temperature each morning immediately after waking, before she undertakes
any activity. That will serve as her Basal Body Temperature.
Artificial- is a form of birth control that is done through placement of a chemical or

other barrier between the cervix and advancing sperm so that the sperm cannot
enter the uterus or fallopian tubes and fertilize the ovum.
 Condoms- a latex rubber or synthetic sheath that is placed over the erect
penis before sexual activity begins.
 IUD- a small plastic object that is inserted into the uterus through the vagina.
 Pills- composed of varying amounts of synthetic estrogens combined with
small amounts of synthetic progesterone.
Permanent- it is considered as the most effective methods of contraception besides
abstinence and because they have no effect on sexuality.
 Vasectomy- a small incision is made on each side of the scrotum.

 Tubal Ligation- it is the process where fallopian tubes are occluded by
cautery, crushing, clamping, or blocking thereby preventing passage of both
sperm and ova.

FIGURE 58 Frequency distribution of methods of family planning method
surveyed in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 Caloocan City

Interpretation
The table and the figure show that using pills, having 53%, is the most
preferred in the said barangay, secondly used is condoms with 20%, third most used
is the tubal ligation with 13%, fourth is the calendar method with 11%, while using
IUD is the least preferred, with 3%. Use of pills is the most preferred there because it
is easy to use and merely available in their barangay.
Analysis:
Pills are the most preferred method of family planning because it is easy to
use and frequently available in their barangay. Use of pills is less effort and will help
the couple to have child in time when they are already prepared. The least most
used family planning method is IUD. This is because it takes a lot of preparation
before it will be assembled. The other reason why it is the least preferred method is
because it is not always available in the barangay.

FIGURE 59 Frequency distribution of couples who are using family planning

method surveyed in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 Caloocan City
as of August 2009
Interpretation
Table 10.6 shows that 8% of the couples of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 use
family planning and 92% of them do not use it. It can be because of economic
factors like lack of income and available resources, availability of the materials and
also lack of knowledge about it. Figure 10.7 shows the frequency and percentage
distribution of family planning of the families surveyed in Barangay Bagong Barrio
150. The table and the figure show that using pills, having 53%, is the most
preferred in the said barangay while using IUD is the least preferred, with 3%. Table
2 shows that out of 882 individuals aged 15-44 reported, 8% are using family
planning method and 92% are not using family planning method.
Analysis:
The study result shows that 8%of the individuals aged 15 to 44 years old in
Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 are using family planning method. Using pills is the
most commonly used family planning method, probably because it is easy and
affordable. The barangay hall also gives cheap and sometimes free pills to the
people. The least being used is the IUD because it is not that easy to place and use.
It is not also always available in the barangay.
Figure 10.7 shows that less people in Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 uses
family planning method. If this scenario continues to pursue in the near future,
scarcity of resources and of manpower will occur. Spread of sexually transmitted
diseases will also happen and overpopulation, too.
That is why use of family planning methods is very useful. Through it, couples
will have child in time when they are already prepared and mostly overpopulation
and risk for diseases may be reduced, if not avoided.
Health Implication:
Family planning is a great help to the family in terms of their overall health.
Knowledge and services of family planning also help individuals maintain their health
equilibrium. It improves the family’s health by reducing the risk for sexually
transmitted disease and helping couples to have their children when they are
physically, emotionally, and financially prepared. It is also an advantage for them to
control the population growth.

Interpretation
Figure 10.8 shows that 45% of pregnant women in Barangay Bagong Barrio
is 8 months pregnant, 33% is 1 month pregnant and 22% is 7 months pregnant.
Analysis:
There is a greater number of 7 months pregnant women in Barangay Bagong

Barrio 150, followed by 1 month and 7 months pregnant women. This means that the
barangay health services on maternal and child care should always be prepared in
time when these pregnant women will give birth.
References:
(Maternal, Neonatal and Women’s Health Nursing by Lynna Y. Littleton and Joan C.
Engebretson, page 384.)
e. PRENATAL CHECK UP
Pregnancy poses a risk to life of every woman. Pregnant women may suffer
complications and die. Every woman has to visit the nearest health facility for
antenatal registration and to avail prenatal care services. This is the only way to
guide her in pregnancy care to make her prepare for child birth. The standard
prenatal visits that a woman has to receive during pregnancy are four times.
Interpretation:
According to the survey, all of the pregnant women received or have

undergone prenatal check-up.
Analysis:
The maternal care program in the Philippines recommends that every

pregnant woman have four care visits during pregnancy.
The system of giving information about the service of the Health Center
can affect the pregnant women to utilize the benefits of the health center like the
prenatal check-up. However, according to the survey, there was only 11% of
population who are aware and utilizing the program of the health center and 34.4%
of population who are aware but not utilizing the health program. This is because not
all the pregnant women have their prenatal check up on the Barangay Health
Center. Some go to a private hospital nearest to their Barangay which is the MCU
hospital to have their prenatal check up. It will only take for them one ride in a jeep to
go to the hospital.
Health Implication:
All the pregnant women surveyed have their prenatal check up.This
means that there will have lesser possibility that women may suffer complications
like obstructive labor or difficulty in labor, infection, hemorrhage and hypertension or
convulsion. There will have lesser possibility that mother die during pregnancy.
According to the record, there is no pregnant woman died during pregnancy.
Without prenatal check-up may result to complications to the baby during

pregnancy. There will be delayed detection of the genetic disorder to the baby.
There will have also delayed detection of abnormal pregnancy of the mother
because of not consulting any health care provider. This can lead into mortality
because of not knowing the pregnancy condition or status of mother during
pregnancy.

f. TETANUS TOXOID IMMUNIZATION OF BAGONG BARRIO 150
This refers to the pregnant women who have Tetanus Toxoid Immunization
and who doesn’t have Tetanus Toxoid Immunization. Without Tetanus Toxoid
Immunization plays a significant role in the occurrence tetanus infection.

Interpretation
Out of 9 pregnant women surveyed, there where 5 (56%) of pregnant

women who have undergone Tetanus Toxoid Immunization. On the other hand,
there where 4 (44%) of pregnant women who does not undergone Tetanus Toxoid
Immunization.
Analysis
There is a high rate that the pregnant women of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150
have undergone tetanus toxoid immunization. It shows that 56% of pregnant women
have their tetanus toxoid immunization. Only 44% of pregnant women have no
tetanus toxoid immunization.
There are several reasons why there is a high rate of women with
Tetanus Toxoid immunization in Bgy. 150 Bagong Barrio. The midwife is always
available to the health center and the health center is also walking distance from the
Barangay. The health center is very accessible to the people. The health center is
located to Bagong Barrio 149 which is very near to them. The health center is within
road network and it will only take for them to ride on a tricycle or either they walk in
order to go to the health center. The people mostly get the information about the
program of the health center mostly through announcement. According to the survey
there is only 11% of population who are aware and utilizing the program of the
health center and 34.4% of population who are aware but not utilizing the health
program. Almost people are not aware and not utilizing the program of the Health
Center. Some of them go to the MCU hospital which is only one ride from the
Barangay.
Even though all the pregnant women surveyed have their prenatal check
up, there is still have 44% pregnant women don’t have yet tetanus toxoid
immunization. 4 out of 9 pregnant women do not have immunization because of low
salience.
Health Implication
Without Tetanus toxoid immunization can cause tetanus neonatorum

infection. Tetanus infection is caused by the organism Clostridium tetani. It is a
concern among all age groups although intervention is focused on the administration
of tetanus toxoid among women of reproductive age to increase the passive
immunity of newborns who are prone to neonatal tetanus due to unsanitary practices
in umbilical cord cutting and dressing upon birth. Tetanus is also covered in the DPT
immunization for infants.
56% of the pregnant women have their tetanus toxoid immunization. This
means that there is a lesser possibility of pregnant women to have infection. The
remaining 44% of pregnant women who do not have immunization are at risk for
acquiring neonotarum infection. Both prenatal and immunization must be given to
the pregnant women to have in order to ensure the good health of both mother and
child.

g. BREAST FEEDING PROGRAM OF BAGONG BARRIO 150
This refers to the percentage of infants whether they drink breast milk, am,
mixture of breast milk and formula, condensed milk, powdered milk, or evaporated
milk. The type of milk the infants they are drinking play a significant role in their
health.

13% MIXED
64%
NONE
Interpretation
According to the survey, the highest percentage is formula milk and others
(orange juice) and the lowest percentage is none which means that the infant only
drinks water.
Analysis
As surveyed, 13% of children 3 years of age and below are breast fed. It
shows that most of the people are not utilizing the said health program. Only few
people are aware and go to the health center in order to get some information about
Breast feeding Program. Health teaching about breastfeeding is done in the health
center.
75.14% of population is within the threshold which means that they can afford
to buy formula milk. Some infant are not breast fed because some of their mothers
have work and most of them are busy doing household chores. They do not have
time to breast feed their baby. They just prepare formula milk for the baby to drink.
But there’s some mother gives only water to their babies because they can not
afford to buy formula milk.
Health Implication
Breast milk is the best food for the baby from birth up to three years. There
are a lot of advantages to the baby in breast feeding. First, it meets all the food and
fluid needs of the baby from birth up to three years. It also protects the baby from
diseases and malnutrition. Due to the anti-infective properties of breastmilk,
breastfed babies tend to have less incidence of or less pronounced symptoms of ear
infections, respiratory illness, allergies, diarrhea, and vomiting.
There are also some disadvantages for breast feeding, Blood borne
viruses such as hepatitis B or HIV and some medication can be passed to the baby
in breast milk. Some women find breastfeeding painful, stressful and tiring. Women
are unable to measure the amount of milk the baby has consumed; this can be a
disadvantage if the baby is having problems putting on weight. It can be difficult for a
breastfeeding mother to leave her baby for more than a couple of hours as no one
else can feed baby unless she leaves expressed milk.
If most of the babies will not be breast fed, there will have a chance that
the babies will be malnourished and will acquire diseases. It will have high risk that
the baby will acquire chronic disease and juvenile diabetes. They will have also a
high risk of acquiring respiratory illness, allergies, diarrhea and vomiting.

D. Health Resources
a. Health Manpower
Health manpower is the ability of a community to provide for itself proper

health, health maintenance, health promotion among the individuals residing in it.
The need for knowledge of the total manpower of a community is mainly to

know whether or not a community can sustain the basic health needs of its citizen.
Interpretation
Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 has a total of 6,335 inhabitants.
Of the health care officials available, there is a physician, a dentist, a public

health nurse, a midwife, a nutrition scholar and an aide... one from each category of
health care skill.
Analysis
Here are the standard health manpower according to the Operational

Definition of Terms:
Physician = 1: 20,000
Nurse = 1: 20,000
Midwife = 1: 5,000
Inspector = 1: 20,000
Dentist = 1: 50,000
Total population of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 = 6,335
Nurse = 1: 6,335
Midwife = 1: 6,335
Health Dentist = 1: 6,335
We see that the total population of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 is 6,335.
Therefore, the ratio of health care providers versus the total number of population of
the barangay is within the standards according to the Operational Definition of
Terms, except for the midwife. The standard ratio of a midwife is 1:5,000 but in the
case of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150, the midwife’s manpower is insufficient to
1,335 people.
We should also take note that these health wokers do not just work for only
one barangay but for 7 barangays namely: Barangay Bagong Barrio 149, Barangay
Bagong Barrio 151, Barangay Bagong Barrio 152, Barangay Bagong Barrio 153,
Barangay Bagong Barrio 154, Barangay Bagong Barrio 155 and Barangay Bagong
Barrio 150, respectively. The total population of the said barangays all together is
18,120. Therefore, the total interpretation is as follows:
Total population of Bagong Barrio Barangay 149, Bagong Barrio

Barangay151, Bagong Barrio Barangay 152, Bagong Barrio Barangay
153, Bagong Barrio Barangay 154, Bagong Barrio Barangay 155 and
Bagong Barrio Barangay 150 = 18,120
Nurse = 1: 18,120
Midwife = 1: 18,120
Dentist = 1: 18,120
Therefore, we now conclude that the midwife’s manpower is very much
insufficient to the 7 barangays by 13,120 number of people if we compare it with the
standards in the Operational Definition of Terms.
This is also the problem that was stated by Ms Elizabeth Orduyo, the public
health nurse of Bagong Barrio 150 and the other 6 barangays during the interview
with her, “She thinks that the primary reason why health care is not distributed
equally among communities is because of the lack of health care providers.
Additional manpower is the solution to this problem.” (excerpt from the KII’s
interview with the nurse)
The probable reason for lack of manpower is the lack of budget. As stated by
the Kagawad of Health Mrs. Dalisay De Vera when interviewed, “Alam mo, sa totoo
lang wala talagang pondo, mayroon nga akong project na gustong gawin kaya lang
kame kame lang din ang magpopondo kanya wag nalang, pero dapat talaga
mayroon diba? Pero wala talaga.” It was also stated by the barangay health woker of
Bagong Barrio 150, Mrs. Flordeliza Santos during an interview with her regarding the
sufficiency of funds of the barangay for health, “Sapat ba? Naku, hindi. Dahil Kulang
na kulang ang pondong ibinibigay nila. Sa dami ng populasyon ditto sa bagong
barrio. Mabuti sana kung isang barangay lang ang sinasakop ng Health Center, eh
hindi eh. Ang nangyayari kasi, ang 7 Barangay is equal to 1 Health Center lang. So
we don’t expect na sapat ang pondong ibinibigay ng munisipyo.”
Health Implication
The total population of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 is very much

compensated to the number of health officials except for the midwife which is
insufficient by 1,335 people and 13,120 people when the 7 barangays are merged.
If the lack of midwife manpower continues to be e prevalent in the health

center of Bagong Barrio, there will be lack of services intended for those who are
about to give birth. The health program for Newborn Screening will also be affected
because the midwife cannot attend to all of those in need. The probable results
would be:
a. The center will be crowded with pregnant women who are
waiting for the midwife’s service since she cannot attend to
all of them immediately.
b. The number of births conducted at their homes would increase.
c. Possibe increase of infant morbidity due to insterile
equipments used during child birth. May cause tetanus and
sepsis.
d. Possible increase of pregnancy morbidity due to insterile
equipments used during child birth. May cause tetanus and
sepsis.
e. The infant born could get infections and might cause
complications as he/she grows up.
f. The mother might get infections and that might affect her health
in a drastic way and might lead to death.
g. The mother during this time is in fatal condition and proper
monitoring of mothers are crucial during this period and they
should be screened for problems during pregnancy.
h. Decrease in the population of Barangay Bagong Barrio 150 due
high infant and pregnant morbidity rate.
b. Categories Of Health Services Available
The objective of the service is to provide and maintain, if not raise the quality
of its constituency, especially in the aspect of health.

INFLUENZA
Flu, or influenza, is a highly contagious acute respiratory illness caused by

the Influenza virus. Flu season generally occurs annually all over the world, during
the cold season (October to January).
Influenza infects over 30 million people in the U.S. each year, which is
roughly 10% to 20% of the U.S. population. Flu and its complications is the sixth
leading cause of death in the U.S., killing 20,000 – 40,000 people a year. As of
1997, it is the fourth leading causes of morbidity or illness in the Philippines. Flu is
the most common cause of absenteeism in both school and work.

Interpretation
The data on the table shows that there are 32 cases of Flu (Influenza) which
recorded an incidence rate of 2.92% for every 100 person at risk gets ill of Flu
(Influenza).
Analysis
Flu (Influenza), the leading cause of morbidity in Brgy. Barrio 150, according
to our community survey. Flu (Influenza), a highly contagious and communicable
disease, is in the top spot on the morbidity list for some reasons: The percentage of
inadequate living space 22.51%; where crowding index is also not proportional for
most of the houses and transmission of m. Also a contributing factor is the number
of population at risk as collected in the Risk Factor Assessment Tool (RFA) – 1097
persons; 61% of the total population on the community survey. And the number of
children 14 and below added to the people 65 above, 599 persons comprises
33.26% of the total population, because this age – group is considered the low
immune system age group. Also an incidence rate of fever contributes in the
incidence rate of flu because this two goes hand in hand; they share common signs
and symptoms such as cough, headaches, muscle aches and sore throat. The
number of people who experience crowding – 127; is also a contributor for the
reason that crowding contributes to the transmission of microorganism (E.g.
Influenza Virus).

Health Implication
If flu remains in the top spot of the list, the prevalence of pneumonia and otitis
media will occur because they are the most common complications of flu. Otitis
media can present as earache or fluid coming out of your ears. Pneumonia can
manifest as high-grade fever, brassy cough, lack of appetite, drowsiness, difficulty in
breathing, and increased phlegm and mucus production. These are usually viral in
origin but oftentimes, secondary bacterial complications set in. When bacterial
infection sets in, antibiotics are warranted. Prolonged muscle weakness and pain are
less frequent complications. In rare instances, Reye’s Syndrome occurs. This is
marked by delirium, seizures, stupor, coma, and death.
The demands for flu vaccines, medications, and consultation will increase
drastically if the flu wouldn’t go down on its present position in the morbidity list. If flu
remains in the top spot, outbreaks of flu will likely occur and will cause an evident
increase in morbidity rates. Free vitamins will also be a priority of the barangay in
preventing flu to boost up one’s immune system. Projects and development plan in
cleaning the environment and enhancing one’s hygiene must also be prioritized by
the barangay.

HYPERTENSION
Hypertension or high blood pressure is defined as a sustained elevation in

mean arterial pressure. Primary hypertension - has no definite cause. It is also
called essential hypertension or idiopathic hypertension. Secondary hypertension- is
usually the result of some other primary disease leading to hypertension such as
renal diseases.

Hypertension
Interpretation
The data on the table shows that there are 16 cases of Hypertension which
recorded an incidence rate of 1.26% for every 100 person at risk gets ill of
Hypertension.
Analysis
Hypertension, the second leading cause of morbidity in Brgy. Barrio 150,

according to our community survey. Though hypertension can develop anytime in an
individual, in most cases, it does not occur solely by chance. Some are more prone
to develop high blood pressure than others. Factors that can be considered as
causes of Hypertension being in the top list of morbidity consist of the population
group of 50 and above: 11.56% or 209 persons because as stated in the DOH FAQ
they are at risk in acquiring hypertension. The number of smokers and the high
percentage of the population at risk 1272 or 70.63% percent of the population as
collected in the Risk Factor Assessment Tool (RFA) is also a causative factor. The
number of people who smoke – 187 and those who experience second hand smoke
– 491 is also a factor contributing to hypertension; smoking is also a factor because
it can cause blockage of artery that decreases blood supply in the heart which
further leads to heart failure, hearth complications or death. The percentage of
overweight and obese in the barangay could also be one; for cholesterol level is over
200 mg/dL are the persons at risk. High level of cholesterol cause serious
complications such as adiposity and narrowing the arteries and vessels which
transports blood in different parts of the body. Also hypertension is inter-related to
diabetes mellitus, kidney failures and strokes. Some factors are also male that are
35 years and above: 328 persons or 18.21% according to our community survey
these is causative factor as stated by the DOH guidelines in hypertension.
Health Implication
Hypertension is a silent killer, If this remains on the second spot of the list
many complication will set in. Hypertension (HIGH blood pressure), if uncontrolled,
causes damage to various organs in the body resulting to other diseases. The
organs usually affected are the following.
1. Heart – leads to heart attack and heart failure

2. Brain – leads to stroke and internal bleeding
3. Kidneys – leads to renal failure and the need for dialysis
4. Eyes – leads to blindness
5. Peripheral Blood Vessels – leads to peripheral vascular diseases like
limping (claudication) and tissue death (gangrene).
Left untreated, the disease will progress and will eventually lead to death.
There will also be an increase demand in medications to lower one’s blood pressure
and blood pressure monitoring will increase. Campaigns and information drives will
also increase to promote preventive measures in combating the threat of
hypertension such as living a healthy lifestyle and smoking cessation.

A stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when blood supply to

part of the brain is disrupted, causing brain cells to die. When blood flow to the brain
is impaired, oxygen and glucose cannot be delivered to the brain. Blood flow can be
compromised by a variety of mechanisms.
Table 58 Frequency Table of People at Risk for Stroke in Baranggay Bagong


causes of Risk
morbidity
Stroke 7 1272 5.5% for every

1000 person at risk
gets ill of Stroke
Interpretation
The data on the table shows that there are 7 cases of Stroke which recorded
an incidence rate of 5.5% for every 1000 person at risk gets ill of Stroke.
Analysis
Stroke according to our community survey is the third leading cause of

morbidity in Brgy. Barrio 150. Typically, the cause of stroke is a blockage of artery.
Blockage of an artery in the brain by a clot (thrombosis) is the most common cause
of a stroke. The part of the brain that is supplied by the clotted blood vessel is then
deprived of blood and oxygen. As a result of the deprived blood and oxygen, the
cells of that part of the brain die. Typically, a clot forms in a small blood vessel within
the brain that has been previously narrowed due to a variety of risk factors including:
high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking. Heart
rhythm disturbances like atrial fibrillation, patent foramen ovale, and heart valve
disease can also be the cause. When strokes occur in younger individuals (less than
50 years old), less common risk factors are considered including illicit drugs, such as
cocaine or amphetamines, ruptured aneurysms, and inherited (genetic)
predispositions to blood clotting. An example of a genetic predisposition to stroke
occurs in a rare condition called homocystinuria, in which there are excessive levels
of the chemical homocystine in the body. Scientists are trying to determine whether
the non-hereditary occurrence of high levels of homocystine at any age can
predispose to stroke. Population group of 50 and above: 11.56% or 209 persons is
considered an age – group that are at risk. The number of smokers and the high
percentage of the population at risk 1272 or 70.63% percent of the population as
collected in the Risk Factor Assessment Tool (RFA). The percentage of overweight
and obese in the barangay could also be one that can be incorporated to high
cholesterol and adiposity that narrows the arteries. Some factors are also male that
are 35 years and above: 328 persons or 18.21% according to our community survey
for the reason that males are known to be smokers and alcoholics.
Health Implication
If stroke remains on the top 5 list of morbidity many complications or diseases

would likely occur. Heart Failure cases would likely increase. Cases of problem in
swallowing would increase. Slurred speech patients and lung infection would occur.
Stroke often results in immobility; blood clots can develop in a leg vein (deep
vein thrombosis). This poses a risk for a clot to travel upwards to and lodge in the
lungs - a potentially life-threatening situation (pulmonary embolism). Prolonged
immobility can also lead to pressure sores (a breakdown of the skin, called
decubitus ulcers), which can be prevented by frequent repositioning of the patient by
the nurse or other caretakers. Also stroke patients often have some problem with
depression as part of the recovery process, which needs to be recognized and
treated.
The prognosis following a stroke is related to the severity of the stroke and
how much of the brain has been damaged. Some patients return to a near-normal
condition with minimal awkwardness or speech defects. Many stroke patients are left
with permanent problems such as hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body),
aphasia (difficulty or the inability to speak), or incontinence of the bowel and/or
bladder.
The cost of strokes is not just measured in the billions of pesos lost in work,
hospitalization, and the care of survivors in nursing homes. The major cost or impact
of a stroke is the loss of independence that occurs in 30% of the survivors. What
was a self-sustaining and enjoyable lifestyle may lose most of its quality after a
stroke and other family members can find themselves in a new role as caregivers.
The demand for medications in response to lowering one’s blood pressure

would most likely increase. Campaigns and information drives will also increase to
promote preventive measures in combating the threat of stroke such as living a
healthy lifestyle and smoking cessation.

ASTHMA
Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by inflamed, swollen and

narrowed airways, making breathing difficult. Although no cure has been found for
asthma, it can be controlled. If you are asthmatic, you have sensitive airways that
react to certain factors such as stress, infection (flu, common colds), dust, mites,
feathers, cigarette smoke, and changes in the weather. These can trigger the selling
and the narrowing of your airways.
Table 59 Frequency Table of People at Risk for Asthma in Baranggay Bagong


causes of Risk
morbidity
Asthma 7 1097 5.5% for every

1000 person at risk
gets ill of Asthma
Interpretation
The data on the table shows that there are 7 cases of Asthma which recorded
an incidence rate of 5.5% for every 1000 person at risk gets ill of Asthma.
Analysis
Asthma, according to our community survey is the fourth leading cause of

morbidity in Brgy. Barrio 150. Factors that contributes to Asthma as a contender to
be the in the top morbidity rates are: Allergens such as breeding sites, and vectors
(e.g. cockroaches and dustmites) for they are called carriers of pollens or any
irritating substance that may trigger asthma. Also irritants that are found in
households such as aerosols, perfumes and insecticides can cause asthma.
Tobacco smoke, air pollution and industrial chemicals also belong to this group. And
Physical Conditions includes exercise, weather changes and emotional stress that is
a contributing factor. Viral infections like common cold and flu are also included.
Health Implication
If asthma is not prevented, or left untreated, Prevalence of feeling of tightness

in your chest and coughing and spitting out mucus or phlegm may occur. Feeling of
restless or irritable and have difficulty sleeping will be more evident. And oftentimes
make a whistling or wheezing sound when you are breathing air in and out, which
may be due to narrowed air tubes will be evident in patients suffering the disease.
During severe attacks patient’s become breathless and may have difficulty talking.
Neck muscles become tight as you breathe. Lips and fingernails may have a grayish
and bluish color. Breathing becomes more forceful, usually accompanied by the
upward movements of your chest.
The demands for nebulizers and other medications for asthma will increase if
this will not be treated immediately. Providing alternatives to lessen the cases will be
more prevalent such as promoting exercise and healthy lifestyle in combating this
health threat.

TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis or TB is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria called

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. The bacteria can enter the body, usually the lungs,
and make a person sick by damaging the tissues that it reaches.
Table 60 Frequency Table of People at Risk for Influenza in Baranggay Bagong


causes of Risk
morbidity
TB (Tuberculosis) 6 601 9.9% for every

1000 person at risk
gets ill of TB
(Tuberculosis)
Interpretation
The data on the table shows that there are 6 cases of TB (Tuberculosis)
which recorded an incidence rate of 9.9% for every 1000 person at risk gets ill of TB
(Tuberculosis).
Analysis
Tuberculosis, according to our community survey is the second leading cause

of morbidity in Brgy. Barrio 150. TB, a communicable disease, can be focused by
different factors: There is also a percentage of inadequate living space 22.51% - TB
a highly communicable disease can easily be transferred from one person to
another; where crowding index is also not proportional or adequate. Also a
contributing factor is the number of population at risk as collected in the Risk Factor
Assessment Tool (RFA) – 601 persons or 33.37% of the total population surveyed
assessed as potential to acquire TB (Tuberculosis) for the reason that they have
incomplete immunization leading to incomplete immunity, direct contact to person
suffering from TB and are exposed to crowding – easy transfer of disease from one
person to another. And the number of children 14 and below added to the people 65
above, 599 persons comprises 33.26% of the total population – this age group is
considered as the group with low immune system.
Health Implication
If Tuberculosis is not prevented, a possible TB Outbreak in the Barangay

would most likely occur. The best way to prevent the spread of tuberculosis is to
treat and care all patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. The vaccination for TB
known as BCG may prevent children from developing the most severe forms of TB.
The barangay would also prioritize projects and development plans in lessening
tuberculosis or practice the DOH plans in implementing appropriate measures in
combating TB (Tuberculosis) – Tuberculosis Control Program will drastically
increase. Evident increase of anti – TB medications will occur to supply the demand
for the TB patients.
The demand for the following test will increase when Tuberculosis will be left
untreated
1. Sputum examination for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB smear).
This is done by smearing a sample of coughed-up phlegm (sputum) on a

glass slide, treating this with special dyes and then examining the specimen under a
microscope. If TB bacilli are seen then the patient has active TB disease. It is best to
have three separate sputum specimens examined to increase the likelihood of
finding these bacilli. Unfortunately these Acid-Fast Bacilli are not always seen on
sputum examination even in persons with active lung TB.
2. Chest x-rays
This may be helpful in cases when the Acid-Fast Bacilli are not seen on
sputum examination. However, chest x-rays with findings suggestive of TB are not
definitive proof that the disease is really TB. There are other diseases that may
mimic the appearance of TB on chest x-rays. It also frequently difficult to judge if the
lung disease is active or not by chest x-ray.
3. TB culture of sputum or other specimen
This is done by growing the TB bacteria in the laboratory but this is expensive
and may require up to 8 weeks for final results.
When the infecting TB bacteria are not neutralized by a person’s immune

system, they can multiply and travel to other parts of the body. The fight between
these TB germs and the body’s immune system can result in tissue destruction in
the body part that the bacteria reach. This will produce the symptoms and signs of
TB disease. Although any part of the body can be involved, the body site most
commonly affected with TB disease is the lung (pulmonary TB). TB disease outside
the lungs and throat is not contagious.
When someone with active TB (disease) of the lungs or throat coughs or

sings, the TB germs are propelled into the surrounding air ready to infect the next
person who inhales them. The phlegm or sputum coughed out by these persons
may show the TB bacteria if examined under the microscope (smear-positive cases).
These are the most infectious cases of TB and must be treated and cured to stop
the spread of TB in our communities.

FIGURE 63 Percentage Graph of Diagnosed and Undiagnosed Cases
of the leading causes of morbidity
In Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150 Caloocan City
as of August 2009
Interpretation
Primarily, the graph shows that there are 104 cases of diagnosed and
undiagnosed cases of the leading causes of morbidity in Brgy. Barrio 150. There are
72 diagnosed cases or 69% of the total cases, while there are 32 undiagnosed
cases representing 31% of the total # of cases.
Analysis:
Based on our community survey – random sampling, diseases in the

barangay are mostly diagnosed; Or people in the community sought for medical care
or advice. The diseases which the people are experiencing will have a high chance
of healing or going back to their normal health. The number of diagnosed cases is
higher than the undiagnosed denotes that the people are more health conscious and
most number of the population comprises that they can spend a portion of there
income for health concerns. Based on the threshold, 75% of the total population are
categorized in the Sufficient (within threshold); and many of the population has
health resources or insurance. 65.96% of the population has a health insurance or
health funds that are for the health related concerns. The barangay is also located
within 5 kilometer radius, road networks are present with available transportation
system. The physician is the first person consulted during the onset of illness which
records 100% of the total diagnosed cases.
Health Implication:
Provision of health services should be biased towards the poor and the
marginalized. If the residents in the community continue to be undiagnosed, the
severity of the disease will to increase. Disease will continue to progress into an
advance sate if people will remain undiagnosed. Control or early treatment of
disease will be given to people if they are diagnosed during the onsetb of the
disease. The barangay should continue to provide free check – ups, consultations or
any possible free medical care to the residents of the barangay to maintain the
higher degree of diagnosed patients. The barangay should also maintain the high
number of diagnosed cases than the undiagnosed and if possible aim for a 100%
free undiagnosed case; this denotes high chance of healing in the reparative
process to acquire the possible high level of wellness.
FIGURE 64 Percentage Graph of prescribed and Un-prescribed Medications
taken when having illnesses in Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150 Caloocan City
as of August 2009
Interpretation
The graph shows that among the 104 people who got sick, there are 75 cases
of person who took prescribed medicines or 72% of the total # of cases; while there
are 29 cases who took un-prescribed medicines or 28% of the total # of cases.
Analysis
Prescription of drugs for medical care is done by professionals who

underwent trainings and years of studying and practice in their specialized field. A
high percentage of people who has an intake of prescribed medications denote that
people in the community seek for appropriate medical care to licensed professionals
(e.g. Physicians, MD) which recorded 100% of the total diagnosed cases and they
have a portion of their income that they can spend for their health related concerns
as shown by 65.96% of the total population surveyed. And medicines being taken
are effective as ordered by a duly licensed professional indicating a faster healing or
a increased rate in acquiring their normal level of wellness. There is also a Botika ng
Barangay found in the Barangay Hall where cheaper drugs can be bought by the
resident and utilize it accordingly.
Health Implication
If people in the barangay continue to drink un – prescribed medicine; the

people will not attain there possible high level of wellness in the most accurate and
fast way. Evidently, it shows that the people in the barangay doesn’t follow the
prescription of their physician as shown on the tally, 44.97% of the respondents says
that they use over the counter drugs than prescribed drugs. If the people of the
barangay, continue to drink prescribed medications the people will readily attain
there high level of wellness or go back to their normal health at a accurate and fast
rate. There would be an increase in the barangay in providing appropriate medical
care to the barangay such as consultation, and free-check ups by the barangay
physician so prescription of drugs wouldn’t be a problem. The barangay physician
should also be readily available for consultation and for their free medical services.
The barangay must also practice effective information campaigns so that the people
in the barangay would know the different programs available in the barangay where
they can utilize it properly.
F. Leading Causes of Mortality
Mortality is incidence of death in a population. It is measured in various ways,

often by the probability that a randomly selected individual in a population at some
date and location would die in some period of time.

Interpretation
The table shows that among the cases of mortality, Heart Diseases/Heart Failure
has the highest percentage with a total of 47. 7 %. The lowest percentages of all
cases are complications of diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, motor accidents and old age
with 5.88 % each.
Analysis
Heart diseases/heart failure being the highest cause of mortality is related to

the habits of the people in the community. They like frying foods and eating fried
dishes. 60.21 % of total population surveyed uses frying as their primary methods of
cooking. The leading cause of mortality in the Philippines is Heart Diseases as of
2005, for every 100,000 total population, there are 77, 060 people who have died
because of heart disease, rating 90.4 %. 70.63 % of total population surveyed is at
risk for Coronary Artery Disease. There are 16 cases of heart diseases/heart failure.
Cancer being the the second largest percentage of leading causes of mortality with
17.65 % is related to the smoking habits and being exposed to second hand smoke
of the people in the community with 1097 risk factors cases of respiratory tract
infections and 927 risk factors cases of cancer. Vascular Diseases (stroke, etc) is
also included in Top 5 leading causes of mortality in the community with 11.76 %.
This is related to the lack of exercise of the people in the community and the
frequently cooking and eating fried dishes. One of the lowest cause of mortality is
complications of diabetes mellitus with 5. 88 % of the community. Next is the
hepatitis with 5.88 % also. Complications of diabetes mellitus and hepatitis is related
to the high cholesterol diet of the people in the community. Lastly, old age is one of
the lowest cause of mortality.
Health Implication
Heart Diseases/Heart Failure
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) greatly threaten Filipinos today. The Filipino

faces the risk of CVD throughout his life. At birth, congenital heart diseases (CHD)
and vascular malformations are possible. In early childhood, the risk of rheumatic
fever and rheumatic heart disease (RF/RHD) starts, peaking in adolescence.
Atherosclerotic changes in the blood vessels may set in early adulthood and
progress to hypertension (HPN), coronary artery diseases (CAD) or ischemic heart
disease, resulting in heart attacks, common in middle age groups particularly in
males. In the elderly, the common complication of hypertension is cerebrovascular
accident(CVA) or stroke.
CVDs have varied causes and risk factors, ranging from infectious agents to
environmental and constitutional causes- some inherited and some acquired.
Conginital heart dieseases may arise out of genetic causes and maternal infections,
diseases or drug intake. Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease arise from
frequent stretococcal sorethroat. Essential hypertension is asssociated with heredity
and high salt intake. CAD is linked with smoking, obesity, HPN, stress,
hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and a sedentary lifestyle.
Of all risk factores to CVD, smoking has the highest prevalence (46%).
Hypertension (i.e. systolic blood pressure greater thant 140mm Hg or diastolic blood
pressure greater than 90 mm Hg) was found in 22% of the population, with greater
prevalence in males and among the poor (FNRI 1993). THe problem of HPN control
appears rooted in low perceived risk, non-compliance to medications or the
prescribed lifestyle modifications, poor monitoring and control of blood pressure.
About 37% of hypertensive patients in one survey have high cholesterol levels.
Family history of hypertension is also one of the predominant risk factores among
Filipinos.
Morbidity and mortality trends for cardiovascular diseases have been rising for
the past several decades. The morbidity rate is 206.3 cases per 100,000 population
while the mortality rate is 73.7 deaths per 100,000 population is 1994. CVD is now
the number one cause of death and the seventh leading cause of morbidity in the
country. The region with the highest morbidity for CVD is REgion 7, followed by
Regions 1, CAR, 2 and 6.
The Philippines has the highest death rate for hypertension in the region, second
to Indonesia in mortality for rheumatic heart dieases, fourth to Singapore for CAD,
and third to Japan for stroke (WHO 1990). Atherosclerotic diseases rank as first
leading death among Filipinos. Overall, deaths due to CVD comprise 25 percent of
total deaths in 1995 (PHS 1995). The rise of CVD deaths is due to hypertension,
CAD and cerebrovascular accidents, all of which have more than doubled during the
period 1965-90 (Facts and Figures, CVD in the Philippines). The prevalence of
congenital heart disease at birth is 5 per 1,000 livebirths. It declines rapidly as many
of the cases die. At five years of age, the rate is about 1.5 per 1,000 and remains at
1.2 per 1,000 at age eight and onwards.
Applying appropriate measures at different stages of the disease must be done to

prevent CVD. The first step of prevention is to apply measures before the illness
begins. It is a significant step as most CVDs are permanent once they set in. The
second step is protection through early diagnosis and prompt treatment. This is
important in disease prevention and control so that illness may not progress and
lead to disability or death. Rehabilitation to limit disability and prevent early death is
the third level of CVD prevention.

Interpretation
Cancer being the top leading cause of mortality in the community shows that
for every100 people with cancer, 75 of them dies. The lowest cause of mortality is
old age, for every 100 elder people, 25 of them dies.
Analysis
Cancer is the top leading cause of mortality with 75 people dying because of
it. There are a lot of people dying because of cancer because there are 315
people who are not aware about the DOH Health Programs about Cancer Control
Program. 103 families don't have sources of health care and some doesn't go to the
health center. There are 921 people who are at risks for having cancer because of
exposure to second hand smoke and 1027 people are at risks for respiratory tract
infections. There are 215 people who smokes and 30 people are exposed to certain
chemicals. Heart Disease/Heart Failure is the second leading cause of mortality in
the community. For every 100 people, there are 50 person who dies because of
heart disease/heart failure. Most of the families in the community doesn't know about
the healthy lifestyle program of the DOH. 88 people are at risk for CVD because they
have family history of it. 28. 57% of the total population of the community dies
because of vascular diseases. People in the community have the habit of high
cholesterol diet. 486 people are at risks to have Coronary Artery Diseases. 28
people are at risks for obesity. 335 people are at risks for high cholesterol diet. One
third of 100 people with complications of diabetes mellitus because most of the
families in the barangay is not aware of the diabetes mellitus prevention program of
the DOH. There are also 108 people who drinks less than and more than 1-2 bottles
of alcoholic drinks. Old age is also a cause of mortality in the community. 64.1 % of
the elderly people in the community are not aware and not utilizing the DOH
program about Health Development Program for Older Persons (Elderly Health).
Health Implication
Cancer
Cancer is a result of complex mix of factors related to heredity, diet, physical

inactivity and prolonged, continuous exposure to certain chemicals and other
substances. A number of factors that increase a person’s chance of developing
cancer has been identified and are called “risk factors”.
Cigarette Smoking
Smoking accounts for more than 85% of lung cancer deaths. Smokers are
more likely to develop lung cancer compared to non-smokers. Overall, smoking has
been linked to cancers of the mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, pancreas and
bladder.
Excessive Alcohol Intake
Heavy drinkers have an increased risk of cancers of the mouth, throat,

esophagus, larynx and liver. Some studies suggest that even moderate drinking may
slightly increase the risk of breast cancer.
Unhealthy Diet
Diet plays an important role in the development of many cancers, particularly

in the digestive and reproductive organs. Long-term habit of not eating a healthy diet
has been linked that increases incidence of cancer. Likewise, being seriously
overweight has been linked to breast cancer.
Chemicals and Other Substances
Exposure to substances such as chemicals, metals or pesticides can increase

the risk of cancer. Asbestos, nickel, cadmium, uranium, radon, vinyl chloride and
benzene are well-known cancer-causing agents (carcinogens). These may act alone
or together with other carcinogens, like cigarette smoke, to increase the risk of
cancer.

Analysis
50 years and above are included in the Swaroop's Index because while
growing old, people are prone to diseases because their immune system goes
weaker. People in the community 50 years and above are at risks for coronary artery
diseases because they lack exercise, exposed to second hand smoke and some of
them drinks alcoholic beverages.
Health Implication
Diabetes is a serious chronic metabolic disease characterized by an increase

in blood sugar levels associated with long term damage and failure or organ
functions, especially the eyes, the kidneys, the nerves, the heart and blood vessels.
How does one become a diabetic?
Diabetes occurs when insulin is not adequately produced by the pancreas. It

also happens when the body cannot properly use insulin.
Insulin is a hormone necessary for the proper utilization of sugar by muscles, fat and
liver.
Diabetes, if left untreated, could lead to many complications.

In diabetics, blood sugar reaches a dangerously high level which leads to
complications.
VI. Blindness
VII. Kidney failure
VIII. Stroke
IX. Heart Attack
X. Wounds that would not heal
XI. Impotence
TYPES OF DIABETES:
Type 1 – Insulin dependent diabetes
Develops during childhood or adolescence and affects about 10% of all diabetic
patients. Sufferers require a lifetime of insulin injection for survival since their
pancreas cannot produce insulin.
Type 2 – Non-insulin dependent diabetes
Liver Cancer
Liver cancer is the 3rd leading sites for both sexes. It rank 2nd among males
and 9th among females. In 1998, an estimated 5,249 new cases, 3,906 cases in
males and 1,343 cases in females, and about 4,403 deaths are expected to occur
every year. The incidence in males is practically 2 ½ that of females. Incidence
increases at age 40.
Risk factors and prevention
Studies point to a causal relationship between Hepattits B virus carrier state

and liver cancer. Primary Liver Cancer is much more common in countries where
HBV carriers are prevalent, such as the Philippines and other Southeast Asian
countries, as compared to most developed countries where Hepatitis B is less
prevalent.
Hepatitis C infection, though less prevalent, can also lead to liver cancer.
Other factors implicated are heavy alcohol consumption, prolonged heavy intake of
aflatoxin and other chemical carcinogens.
Emphasis should be towards prevention, by lowering the prevalence of Hepatitis B

through infant vaccination and improving sanitation nationwide.
Warning signals
Abdominal pain, constitutional symptoms such as weight loss, weakness, and loss of
appetite. An abdominal mass or an enlarged liver are noted.
Early detection
Unfortunately, there is no efficient early detection method for liver cancer.

Accidents and Injuries
Accidents and injuries are the fifth leading cause of death in the country in 2000, and
are among the neglected disease conditions of public health importance. Accidents
are unintentional, unexpected and undesirable events. Injuries are either intentional
or unintentional events, that result in damage or harm to a person. Most accidents
and injuries can be avoided. Their effects can be lessened through measures like
road safety education, installation of adequate walkways, streetlights and signs, and
home safety management.
This became the basis for DOH's efforts to develop the capacities of both
government and private health institutions in the field of emergency and disaster
response.

population smokes, making 26% of them exposed to second hand smoke. 9.1% of
them also verbalized crowding. These 3 are the leading factors that makes the
residents susceptible to RTI. The other factors are: 6.5% of the population are young
children 0-5 years old, 4.7% has history of flu, 4.6% are elderly, 3.5% have past
history of RTI, 3.4% have poor hygiene, 2.4% have direct contact with person that
has TB, 0.8% males and 0.7% females are malnourished.
In relation to the pneumonia and other acute respiratory infection control

program imposed by the DOH, it is proven in the survey conducted that 60.5% of the
families are not aware and not utilizing the program, while 32% are aware but still
not utilizing it.
Health Implication
If these risk factors continued in the future, they are most likely to have
respiratory-related diseases such as bronchitis, which is one complication of RTI. It
is characterized by inflamation of the bronchioles that will produce cough, a feeling
of tiredness, hoarseness and a mild fever. Another complication is pneumonia. It
initially has symptoms of a cold which are then followed by a high fever (sometimes
as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit), shaking chills, and a cough with sputum
production.
Programs particularly the Pneumonia and Other Acute Respiratory Infections

(ARI's), will be highly in demand. Thus increased in morbidity rates would be seen.
b. Risk factor assessment for Acute Watery Diarrhea
Acute diarrhea is the sudden onset of abnormally frequent watery stools

accompanied by weakness, flatulence (farting), abdominal pain and sometimes fever
and vomiting. It may be caused by eating spoiled food. This lasts for 2 to 5 days.
Acute Watery Diarrhea is also considered as the 2 nd leading cause of

morbidity in Caloocan City.

Risk Factor Assessment For Acute Watery Diarrhea
as of August 2009
Interpretation
The graph shows that 15 % of the population is at risk of having acute watery
diarrhea making 85% of them not.
Analysis
Only 15 % of the population is at risk due to 5.33 % of them verbalized

improper hand washing(those that do not use soap). 3.83% eat raw foods while
.38% do not rinse their ingredients before cooking. Those were the 3 major factors
we’ve gathered that makes the residents prone to acquiring acute watery diarrhea.
The other factors are: 0.33% does not have septic tank, 0.33% leaves their food
uncovered,0.21% have water source less than 25 meters away from the toilet
facility, and 0.13% of the population’s water source are rivers, brooks and streams.
The rest of the populace do not practice those factors that lead to having
acute watery diarrhea. According to the survey conducted, there are 92% families
that perfom hand sanitation before handling there food.
Health Implication
Diarrhea may cause severe dehydration of the body which may lead to
exessive water loss. If the 15 % who are at risk continues to practice improper hand
washing and the like, it can cause infection of the bowel because microorganisms
can be ingested. They will have acute watery diarrhea and increase the morbidity
rates the community in the following years
Programs regarding AWD such as Food and Waterborne Diseases

Prevention and Control Program would be highly utilized. Water sanitation must be
monitored more by the barangay to alleviate the situation.

c. Risk factor assessment for Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is considered as the world’s deadliest disease and remains as a

major public health problem in the Philippines. This is also one of the top 5 leading
causes of mortality in Caloocan City as of 2007.

Risk Factor Assessment for Tuberculosis
as of August 2009
Interpretation
According to the survey conducted, 33 % of the residents of Bagong Barrio 150

are at risk for tuberculosis. The 67% left are not.
Analysis
Only 33% are at risk for TB due to the verbalization of 11.9 % of the people
who are living in Bagong Barrio 150 that they are smoking. Smoking may increase
the risk of developing active TB through different biological mechanisms, including
the impaired clearance of secretions on the tracheobronchial mucosal surface,
reduced phagocytotic function of pulmonary alveolar macrophages, decreased
production of tumor necrosis factor in pulmonary macrophages, and increased iron
overload in pulmonary macrophages. The pulmonary macrophages are the body's
primary defense mechanism to contain M. tuberculosis. 3.83% is drinking 1-2 bottles
of alcohol daily. Alcohol impairs their normal function of the B-lymphocytes. They
produce antibodies in the blood. It takes only two drinks to reduce antibody
production by two-thirds. A group of white blood cells called Natural Killer cells (NK
cells) are also weakened by alcoholic drinks thus making people susceptible to M.
Tuberculosis. The other 9.11% also verbalized crowding. This is a risk factor
because it is a way spreading the infection. The other factors are: 3.83% of the
population has incomplete immunization, 2.67% has diabetes, 2.17% consumes 2
bottles of alcohol daily, 1.83% is exposed to persons with TB, 0.83% male and
0.72% females are malnourished, and 0.11% has direct contact with someone
diagnosed of TB.
The 67% opposed when asked if they display the said factors.
Health Implication
TB was known as “consumption” because without effective treatment, the

body would simply “waste away.” It will slowly alter the normal functioning of the
body organs as it spreads, destroying the integrity and effectiveness of the body.
Therefore, if this risk for Tuberculosis turns into the actual disease, it will increase
the mortality and morbidity rates of the community.
If this continues to occur, the TB Control Program will be very popular among
the public to help manage the prevalence of the disease.

71%
Interpretation
As seen in the graph, 71% of the residents of bagong Barrio are at risk for
developing Coronary Artery diseases. The rest has not verbalized any risk factor for
the said disease.
Analysis
Lack of exercise is the primary contributing risk for coronary artery disease in
Bagong Barrio 150 as shown in the previous chart. It is observable in the survey conducted
that 31 % of them are not exercising. It is a fact that exercise increases the high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) also known as “good” cholesterol. This cholesterol moves easily through
the bloodstream and it is stable and does not stick to artery walls. Therefore, lack of
exercise increases the risk for CAD. Another significant factor is that 18.60% of the sample
population consumes a high cholesterol diet. Cholesterol can increase the low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad” cholesterol which causes the arteries to become narrow or
blocked. Furthermore, they are at risk because 11.9% of them smoke. Smoking damages
cells that line coronary arteries and other blood vessels. These three prove to be the top risk
factors of CAD. The other factors are: 5.89% consumes a low fiber diet, 5.50% has
hypertension, 4.89% has family history of CAD, 4.66% are elderly, 3.83% consumes 1-2
bottles of alcohol daily, 2.17% consumes more than 2 bottles of alcohol daily, 0.83% males
and 7.32% females are obese, 0.39% have periodontal disease, 0.33% have history of
peripheral artery disease, and 0.16% have blood clotting problems.
Another possible reason to their lack of exercise is the-none-participation of most of
the population in aerobics program which could have served as their exercise. 68 families
are not aware of this programs while 269 are aware but admittedly not making use of it.
Health Implication
Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of mortality in Caloocan City. This

risk for CAD is likely to become a full-fledged disease if ignorance of needed
exercise, proper diet, and so on prevails at Bagong Barrio 150.
One cause of CAD is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic,

progressive disease of the arteries in which “plaques” made up of cholesterol
deposits, calcium, and abnormal cells develop on the inner lining of the arteries.
These plaques are subject to sudden rupture. Angina is one of the symptoms that
one may experience if atherosclerosis is occurring. Angina is usually perceived as a
discomfort (often a pressure-like pain) in or around the chest, shoulders, neck or
arms, rooted on the insufficient of blood supply in the heart muscle.
It is likely that the National Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Control

Program will be highly patronized by the population. Moreover, it will increase the
mortality rates of the community.

e. Risk factor assessment for Cancer
Cancer has become the fourth leading cause of mortality in the Philippines.
Cancer is a major public health threat worldwide. It is a killer disease when not
detected early and poses burden on patient, families, and communities, sectors of
the society and the national development of the country. Every year, 6 million
worldwide suffer with cancer pain. Every year, about 200,000 Filipinos suffer from
cancer pain in spite of the availability of well established, simple and cost effective
methods of cancer pain relief. It is also one of the top causes of mortality in
Caloocan City as of 2007.

49% 51%
Interpretation
The graph shows 51% of the members of the community is at risk for
acquiring cancer, less than half of them are not.
Analysis
51% of the population is at risk for cancer due to 31% of them verbalizing
their lack of exercise in the survey conducted. When you have large muscles, which
develop when exercising, you have a ready source of protein to make antibodies
and cells. When you have small muscles, you have a very limited source of amino
acids to make protein, so your immunity may be inadequate to kill germs.
You need antibodies to control cancer cells also. Each day, every healthy
body makes millions of cancer cells. Your white blood cells and protein antibodies
are necessary to ferret out and kill these cancer cells. You develop cancer when
these cancer cells survive and start growing. Having large muscles gives you the
source of protein to make antibodies that kill cancer cells as well as germs.
It is significant that 11.9% of the residents are smoking, thus damaging cells.
Tobacco smoke contains about 70 different cancer-causing substances. When you
inhale smoke, these chemicals enter your lungs and spread around the rest of your
body. Scientists have shown that these chemicals can damage DNA and change
important genes. This causes cancer by making your cells grow and multiply out of
control. Another factor is that 5.9% of the populace consumes a low-fiber diet. Fiber
is an indigestible complex carbohydrate that is found in the structural components of
plants. The fiber content of food is usually expressed as "dietary fiber." Because it
cannot be absorbed by the body, dietary fiber provides no calories; however, the
health benefits of eating plenty of dietary fiber are many and significant, including the
prevention of constipation, the regulation of blood sugar, and possible protection
against heart disease, high cholesterol, and certain forms of cancer. These 3 are the
highest valued risk factors that make them prone to developing cancer. The other
factors are: 4.66% are elderly, 3.83% consumes 1-2 bottles of alcohol daily, 3.55%
has a family history of cancer, 2.17% consumes 2 bottles of alcohol daily, 1.67% is
exposed to certain types of chemicals, and 1.10% is exposed to radiation.
Most of the population is at risk for this disease partly due to the lack of
knowledge of the citizens evidenced by the 93.5% families out of 382 who are not
aware and therefore not utilizing the Cancer Control Program. Another possible
reason is the-none-participation of most of the population in aerobics program which
could have served as their exercise. 68 families are not aware of this programs while
269 are aware but admittedly not making use of it.
Health Implication
Cancer can significantly affect the human body on many levels, both
physically and emotionally. It is a condition where cells invade other cells and
destroy them, leading to their inability to function.
It is likely that the Cancer Control Program will be highly patronized by
the public because treatments for cancer are expensive. Thus, cancer can cause
death and raise the mortality rate in the community.

f. Risk factor assessment for Accidents
Accidents are another major cause of mortality in Caloocan City as of 2007. It

is a sudden and unpredictable event, which can basically be prevented, and are
among the neglected disease conditions of public health importance. Accidents are
unintentional, unexpected and undesirable events. Injuries are either intentional or
unintentional events, that result in damage or harm to a person. Most accidents and
injuries can be avoided. Their effects can be lessened through measures like road
safety education, installation of adequate walkways, streetlights and signs, and
home safety management.
This became the basis for DOH's efforts to develop the capacities of both
government and private health institutions in the field of emergency and disaster
response.

Risk Factor Assessment for Accidents
as of August 2009
Interpretation
According to the survey, 18% of the citizens are more at risk for accidents
while 82% are not displaying the common risk factor of accidents,
Analysis
The community survey proves that the public does not take prevention of
accidents seriously. They take the following risk factors for granted and ignore the
safety precautions needed.
For instance, leaving the electric plugs unplugged. To prove it, 6.72%
verbalized that they leave their appliances plugged. 5.16% misplace poisonous
substances and materials such as matches, lighters, and toxic substances and
3.61% disobey street crossing safety rules. These three ranked as the top causes of
accidents. The other factors are: 1.61% does not use safety devices, 0.72% drive
under the influence of alcohol, 0.67% practice speeding, and 0.33% of the
population is affiliated to a fraternity.
Health Implication
Accidents have a major impact on one’s health. It can severely impair the
function of an individual, and it can alter the psychological and emotional responses
of the same. This concept is very broad and varies with a specified accident.
These risk factors commonly cause fire, poison, injuries, and even
death. It can adversely increases the mortality rates of the community.

Interpretation
78% of the people surveyed at Brgy. Bagong Barrio 150, Caloocan City has
known the information dissemination methods while the remaining 22% are not.
Analysis
This is primarily because of the different methods of disseminating
information that the Barangay Officials use in the community.
Most of the people of the surveyed population were disseminated about the
Barangay Programs which means that most of them knew the information
dissemination method because of announcements of the Barangay Health Workers
(BHW). The system was they were distributed in their assigned areas while
announcing the information about the barangay programs. In this kind of way,
people in the community are able to know all the information or projects that the
Barangay implements.
Health ImplicationS
The advantage of being able to receive information about the Barangay
programs is that people are being aware of the programs of the Barangay. If people
are aware of those programs there is greater possibility that they will utilize those
Barangay programs that was being implemented by the Barangay. If there is always
information dissemination process, they would have the ability to access with those
programs whenever someone needs it.

information methods
Analysis
Most of the families were informed about the barangay programs because the
barangay officials are actively contributing their part to establish different methods to
disseminate information about their programs which can help in promoting health in
the community. In addition, they have four Barangay Health Worker (BHW) that
conducts door-to-door announcement which, therefore increasing the awareness of
78% total population about the programs of Barangay
Health Implication
People being informed about the different programs with regards to health will
increase the frequency of people who utilize these programs, thus benefiting them.
The effect of having the information announced is that people in the barangay are
able to know the advantages of the barangay programs regarding with their health.
Barangay programs can promote wellness in every individual. Another advantage is
that people will become updated regarding with the barangay programs and it will
also promote unity in among the people in the community.

Interpretation
The data show that most of the people in the barangay were not able
to utilize and not aware about the barangay programs while 22% of the people are
aware and utilizing in the barangay programs.
Analysis
Active community participation in the management of a health-care
program has been recognized as an urgent and an “imperative” if a sustainable
community health development is to be attained. This is particularly health-care
needs and concerns are largely rooted in poverty and other socio-economic and
cultural conditions, demanding systemic strategies and solutions.
In the data gathered, most of the people in the barangay are aware
and able to utilize in the barangay programs. This is because the Barangay Councils
are able to disseminate information through announcements/door to door and flyers.
The barangay was also provided by bulletin boards which can also be a good source
of information about their programs. Otherwise, some people are not aware of the
barangay programs because they were newly migrated, and their work is located
outside the community.
Health Implication
Community participation in development essentially entails the active
involvement of local people and groups in planning and implementing activities
aimed at the self management of their own resources. It also involves providing the
appropriate external service support systems including of training of health workers
and allowing easy access to referral and tertiary health facilities. At the same time, it
requires the adoption of policies which will be supportive of the community health
programs.
c. ATTITUDE/ RELATIONSHIP OF COMMUNITY TOWARDS BRGY.
OFFICIALS
a. RECOGNITION OF AUTHORITY
Recognition of Authority is about the people’s perception about whom they

recognize as their leaders in the community. In recognition of authority, conditions
such as effective, fair and not effective are being considered.
TABLE 75 Frequency Distribution Showing Recognition of Authority of the

surveyed Population in Barangay 150, Bagong Barrio Caloocan City as of

Everyan Villafuerte (Treas urer) 2
Interpretation
The data show that out of 382 households, three were highly recognized by
the surveyed population and these are Capt. Peña who gained 315 respondents,
Kgd. Dalisay Castillo who gained 61 respondents, and Kgd. Roger Carmon who
gained 52 respondents while Everyan Villafuerte (Treasurer) was the one who
gained the least number of respondents.
Analysis
Since the Barangay Captain was their elected leader, they mostly recognized
him because of he is the leader of the barangay. In all community matters the people
seek the help of the head of a community. He is the one who decides if a health
program or barangay program should be implemented in the said community.
82.5% of the surveyed population recognized the Barangay captain, that means
82.5% of the surveyed population has the possibility to follow the implemented rules
and ordinance of the Barangay for its peace, order and progress. In the part of the
Kagawad for health which is Kgd. Castillo she is highly recognized because of her
availability whenever she is needed. She is the one of those who disseminates
information to the Barrio people through announcements regarding health and
Barangay programs together with the HBW. Due to the fact they sometimes use a
door to door system of disseminating information, it is a high assurance of her being
recognized by the people as a leader of their community.
Health Implication
As a health care provider it is important to know if leaders of the community

were recognized by its members because it determines also their cooperation to
some health teaching or health promotion that the health care provider will impose to
the said community. If leaders are recognized, health care providers can readily ask
the help of the leaders to be able to implement such health programs for the
community. If the people recognized them and their function in the Barangay they
can easily go to the said officials to state their problem regarding their own
community in that way they their problems will immediately be solved as soon as
possible.
b. Perception about the Quality of Services
Perception about the quality of services is about the people’s view on the
effectiveness of the services in their community. This is being gauge by conditions
such as effective(2), fair (1) and not effective (0)

(Treasurer)
Interpretation
Based on the ranking of effectivity of Barangay officials, the most effective
leader is Capt. Crispin Peña and the least effective is Everyan Villafuerte
(Treasurer).
Analysis
Due to the fact that he is mostly recognized by the surveyed population he is
perceived by the people as an effective leader. And according to the interview of the
KII, he is trusted by the elders because they said that without him the Barangay will
not be that progressive compared to the last ruling leaders that they have had
except for his father, because the representative of the elder said that his father also
became a part of building their community of today. The fact that the house of the
barangay captain was not that far from the barangay hall, people can readily and
accessibly state their problems to him. In the part of Kgd. Castillo, she is perceived
by the people as effective leader because, she herself leads and encourages
community people to utilize Barangay programs as evidenced by being a member of
the people who utilizes the Aerobics program of the barangay. The treasurer is
perceive to be least effective leader because he is not that active in some barangay
programs and he seldoms stays in barangay hall. People perceive him to be less
effective because of his visibility and accessibility when it comes to implementing
Barangay activities and programs.
Health Implication
It is important to know if people perceive their leaders as effective one
because it might affect their cooperation and determination to join health programs
of the barangay. If effective leaders reign, the people of the Barangay will be able to
take care of themselves independently. Since the captain was recognized to be an
effective head of the barangay all problems which concerns their community such as
peace and order, livelihood, education, health, infrastructure, sanitation, and sports
can be readily be stated to him by the people or his kagawad. If he is able to to
maintain its scope of responsibility with effectiveness of his service, he will gain
more trust from the people which may leads them electing the same captain that
they have elected before. Because he already establishes a rapport to his people,
health care providers can easily implement health promotion or health education to
the said community. If this would happen problems of the said community has high
preventive potential, modifiability and social concern.
PEACE AND ORDER

Barangay 150 Bagong Barrio has several officials who are assigned in each
sector that encompasses the welfare of the people and one of them was Mr. Rodrigo
Benigno, Assigned kagawad for peace and order in Barangay. The primary of
objective is to maintain peace and order in the community. To fight crime is also their
duty; they protect the people and serve as the guide through to do well as a people
of the community. The barangay tanod is always there to serve the community,
“Meron kami ditong 22 na tanod para lang sa barangay naming, Tumutulong sila sa
barangay at kung meron mang di magandang pagkakaunawaan ng magkabilang
panig.” The always problem in this barangay according to him is, “pikunan sa
basketball, pamilya, kabataan at kung sino sino pa, ni reresolba naming ito sa
pamamagitan ng pag hingi ng dalawang panig at mag dedesisyon kami kung ano
ang gagawin, pag ayaw talaga nila ilalapit na ito sa mas mataas na kinauukulan at
hindi na sa barangay.” He also stated that, “maayos naman ngayon ang aming
barangay, na kokontrol naman namin ang kaayusan at kapayapaan dito sa aming
barrio.”
PERCEIVED PROBLEMS
Barangay 150 Bagong Barrio perceived several problems with regards to

their community. According to the kagawad for health one of the perceived problems
of the barangay is that there is no adequate allocation for health care fund. They
said that if there are some projects that they would like to implement, they would get
it from their own money. People also noticed the lack of health facilities due to
insufficient medicine for those who most need them. Another problem is inadequate
street lights and street signs. People said that they are afraid to go out at night due
to the lackness of street lights but as the Captain was interviewed he said that the
lighting facilities of the Barangay are enough. Every main road has a light post but
some interior streets has light post but these light posts don’t work mainly because
residents whose house has a light post in front doesn’t want to share electricity.
Another one is the quarrel when it comes to LIGA because some people get angry
whenever they lost the game.
PERCEIVED SOLUTIONS
In those perceived problems, only one problem has solution because the
Barangay Officials doesn’t give or pay attention to the other problems, they solved
those that needs immediate attention like the rivalry among players of LIGA. They
said that if there are some problems in the said activity like that they would try to fix it
first by a regular peace and order talk and if they can’t fix it there, that’s the time they
would seek the help of the higher authority.
FACTORS THAT LEAD TO SOCIAL CONFLICT
According to the Barangay Officials there is no social conflict that they

experienced in their barangay because according to the Barangay Kagawads they
always keep their barangay peaceful and their goal is to fight crime, protect the
people and serve the people in the community.
FACTORS THAT LEAD TO UNIFICATION
There are no stated factors that lead to their unification as a community, but
as we can see they can manage their waste disposals. They are able to cooperate in
some Barangay program that can help them also in their own problems like
fumigations. They are somehow able to utilize the Barangay program such as
aerobics, Liga and cleaning program.
