HOUSING

A house satisfies the need for subsistence by offering shelter. In this regard, it is

considered to provide sufficient living area for household members if not more than two

people share the same room. It is central to household functionality and productivity,

social harmony and the development of a healthy and sustainable economy. Studies

have shown that a lack of adequate housing reduces productive opportunities and

increases physical and psychological well-being. Households are the basic organizing

units of socio-cultural institutions of civil society.

According to the 2010 Socio Economic profile of Paranque City, Barangay

Tambo is part of the list of depressed areas. The residential housing of Barangay

Tambo is mostly poorly regulated, and can be primarily described as shanty. Even

though there are housing laws/regulations that govern, they are not being adhered to, at

least not by the “informal” settlers. Most homes are not professionally built and are

made out of mixed materials, primarily of wood, and with little steel and concrete.

There is also unsatisfactory lighting and ventilation due to most homes being built

adjacent to each other. In addition, there is also the presence of poor drainage and

sewage system in the area that breeds bacterial pathogens and make the area prone to

flooding. Due to these factors, the residential housing of Barangay Tambo is at risk to

several dangers such as fire hazards and health related concerns.

RECREATION

Recreation is beneficial for both physical and psychological wellbeing.

Recreation is an important process that helps refresh and reinvigorate both the body

and mind. Most recreational activities take place in what is known as discretionary time,

or time that a person has when he does not have any responsibilities to attend to at the

moment. Recreational activities can range from physical actions such as team sports to

playing in the park or taking a hike in nature. They can also refer to exercise such as

visiting the gym or running on a trail. These activities allow people to use their bodies

and increase their levels of personal fitness for health-related reasons.

Based from our team’s observation of Barangay Tambo’s recreational activity

outlets, recreational activities varies based on age groups. As expected, most young

children from toddlers to school age mainly play among their peers outside their homes.

Young adults play sports at the nearby gymnasium such as basketball and volleyball.

There are also PC cafes where a mixture of age groups spends their leisure time

playing PC games and surfing the net. As for the older adults, they mostly chat with

their friends and neighbors, singing karaoke, and drinking alcoholic beverages.

POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT

The government passes the laws, provides law enforcement, provides local and

national protection, and oversees a country's infrastructure. Most governments also

provide education for its citizens and some provide health care, and may provide a wide

variety of other types of services. Local governments, city, and state governments have

a role in providing these things and for collecting the taxes to pay for them. Government

is important because it control the scale of the population, tax and make policy for the

country and agency to regulate it. Government guides society and creates norms and

expectations for behavior. Government ensures stability and reasonable peace in

which to live and work. Good government requires quality leadership.

A community leader is a socially and/or politically prominent and respected

member of a community. Their role is one of the most important parts to building a

strong community. There many other factors that help or hinder progress, but it is

leadership that makes everything else that goes into creating a great community

possible; leadership is the indispensible element of success.

The Punong Barangay, commonly known as the Barangay Captain and less

commonly Barangay Chairman, is the highest elected official in a barangay, the

smallest of the elected administrative divisions of the Philippines. Barangay Tambo’s

local leadership is headed by Barangay Chairman: Capt. Godofredo B. De Leon.

Based on our team’s interviews about Barangay Tambo residents’ current

government and political opinions, it is unfortunate to report that most do not have

favorable views about their political leaders at the national level, but are at least content

with the local level.

EDUCATION

Education has a great social importance especially in the modern, complex

industrialized societies. Philosophers of all periods, beginning with ancient stages,

devoted to it a great deal of attention. The main social objective of education is to

complete the socialization process. The family gets the child, but the modern family

tends to leave much undone in the socialization process. The school and other

institutions have come into being in place of family to complete the socialization

process, among other important objectives.

According to the 2010 Paranaque City Socio-Economic Profile, Barangay Tambo

has (3) Three Day Care Centers: Seaside day care center I, Seaside Day Care Center

II, and Puyat Compound Day Care Center; With 2 or 3 sessions in each Day Care

There is only one main building which houses the 11 instructional rooms – 10

Grade School classrooms, and 1 Kinder Classroom and 5 non-instructional rooms –

The school is located at C. Santos Street, Brgy. Tambo, Parañaque City which is

in front of Camp Claudio. The landmarks near the school are the Camp Claudio, St.

Joseph Church, and Tambo Elementary School Main. The school can be accessed

using Quirino Avenue. The people surrounding the school belong to the low to average

economic class. However, most of the pupils enrolled in the school come from Seaside

Portion of Brgy. Tambo along Coastal Road. Ninety-five percent (95%) of the students

are Brgy. Tambo residents while only five percent (5%) came from the neighbor

barangay in Parañaque City. About thirty percent (30%) of the pupils enrolled belong to

the middle and above average income bracket while seventy percent (70%) are from

the lower economic bracket.

COMMUNICATIONS

Community development is the process of helping a community to strengthen

itself and develop towards its full potential. Communication is a key component of

sustainable development. Mobilizing community members for community development

purpose is important but members of communities can only be mobilized when

communication is effective. Adequate community communication leads to effective

collaborative efforts in issue of development. Communication will help engage citizens

in development.

telecommunication network of Parañaque is being served by PLDT andSMART but,

PLDT covers the largest cross section of the sixteen barangays. Expansion and

upgrading of then system by way of XC5 Program is completed from Barangay San

HEALTH

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “health is a state of complete

physical, social and mental well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or

infirmity. Health is a resource for everyday life, not the object of living, and is a positive

concept emphasizing social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities.

Health is a fundamental human right, recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human

Rights (1948). It is also an essential component of development, vital to a nation's

economic growth and internal stability. Along with the traditional and unequivocal

arguments on social justice and the importance of health, it is now accepted that better

health outcomes play a crucial role in reducing poverty.”

Paranaque. The Paranaque City Health Office deliver its health services through

promotion, protection, preservation and restoration of health of the people in 16 health

ECONOMY/LIVELIHOOD

An economy or economic system consists of the production, distribution or trade,

and consumption of limited goods and services by different agents in a given

geographical location. The economic agents can be individuals, businesses,

organizations, or governments. For society, the economy provides a scientific approach

to analyzing and understanding government decisions for ensuring stable economic

growth with low inflation and the highest possible level of employment. Economic

methods also provide the tools by which policy analysts study the possible costs,

benefits and effects of government policies in a range of areas, from national security to

health care and education. Outside of government, economic principles help guide the

business decisions and actions that help foster a prosperous society.

According to the 2010 Socio Economic Profile of Paranaque, the average

monthly income of the informal settlers of Barangay Tambo falls below the minimum

wage. The main occupation of Barangay Tambo Seaside Square is “Self Employment”

(street vendors, freelance contractors, etc...). The community is mostly residential with a

small number of commercial and business establishments. Most noted among them is

the Alimango for exports.

FIRE AND SAFETY

Local governments and community groups are increasingly recognizing that

community safety is a fundamental quality of life issue - a safe community is a livable

community, a healthy community, and an economically viable community. The defining

feature of a safe community is the ability of all of its citizens - regardless of gender,

race, age, sexuality, language, income or ability - to participate fully and freely in all of

its environments. This requires that citizens both feel, and are, safe, and that they have

meaningful opportunities to participate in local decision-making processes.

Living in a community environment calls upon all of its members to ensure that

the community is safe. Fire Safety is particularly important because it affects the entire

community. Cooperation from every resident in following good fire and life safety

practices will ensure that all residents have a safe and comfortable living

environment. A healthy community is also a safe community. Yet, the reality of crime,

victimization and fear means that many people, especially those who are the most

vulnerable are severely limited in the way they can use and be part of their

communities.

men will have a higher chance of being accepted in different jobs, where the majority of

work requires physical strength which men are capable of doing.

become less viable which can result from genetic abnormalities that can result to birth

defects. The risks of miscarriages, premature babies, and health complications such as

high blood pressure and diabetes are far less low than compared in the other age

groups.

INTERPRETATION, ANALYZATION AND JUSTIFICATION

The figure shows the types of families in Barangay Tambo Seaside Parañaque.

Out of 45 families, 13 (28.89%) identified as nuclear type of family, 14 (31.11%) as

Extended family, 2 (4.44%) as Married without child, 12 (26.67%) as Cohabitant, 1

(2.22%) as Blended family, and 3 (6.67) as Single parent.

The majority of the residents in Barangay Tambo Seaside Parañaque are

Extended family. Extended family by definition refers to a family group that consists of

parents, children and other close relatives who often live in close proximity with each

other. The extended family can include friends, in-laws or other individual whom parents

share a bond and emotional closeness with. It can collaborate with parents to reinforce

various aspects of positive discipline. This encourages the children to be more

independent and enables them to regulate their own behaviors.

Support from members of extended family has a significant impact on the healthy

development of a child. Extended family members can be great role models and

influences for children; provide children with a sense of encouragement, security and

stability; help children better understand the roots of their family; let children know that

there are people outside the immediate family that love and care about them; help build

on the sense community for the child.

Nuclear family is the second majority, is defined as a family unit consisting of a

mother and father and their children. Generally it is believed that it is the ideal

arrangement to raise a family where the father is the one who provides the needs of the

families with the income he receives from work, the one who serves as the family

disciplinary model and the one who insures the protection of his family while, on the

other hand, the mother is the one who is in-charge with the household.

There are family also having married without child, a cohabitant family, person

living together with another or others, a blended family, consisting of a couple and their

children from this and all previous relationships and single parent sometimes called a

solo parent, is a parent, not living with a spouse or partner, who has most of the day-

to-day responsibilities in raising the child or children.

The figure shows the frequency of family size in Barangay Tambo Seaside

Parañaque. There are 45 family respondents. There are 22 (48.49%) with a small sized

families, 13 (28.89%) with a medium sized families and 10 (22.22%) with a large sized

family.

Out of the 45 respondents, majority of them are small sized families. There is an

increasing trend around the world to have a small family rather than a large family. As

small family can benefit children and parents and make it easier to find sufficient

resources for a family. Children can enjoy their parent’s full attention instead of sharing

it with multiple siblings. Additionally, family with less children sibling rivalry is less likely

to be a problem among children. Parents can spend more time with the individual child

and the child’s favorite activities. Caring for a large family can be stressful mad

exhausting. Parents of a small family should therefore be more relaxed and patient.

Lastly, fewer children mean the family budget is more likely to leave room for some

extras, like holidays or separate bedrooms for each child. On the other hand, there is

also some downside for all family members of a small family. Children can end become

spoilt and less responsible than their peer growing in large families. Being an only child

often associated with egoism and less developed social skills.

A large family has some very strong advantages. First of all, it has a lot of

members and there is more than one earning member in a large family. In addition,

members can help each other in bad times. A large family has parents, children and

uncles, aunties and grandparents. Therefore, children can enjoy the company of all the

members. Everyone has his/her story at the end of the day and they all sit and talk

about their good experiences, their problems and possible solutions together. Finally, a

large family can save money in various different ways. Because they all live together,

the cost becomes low in total and they can save a lot. There are several disadvantages

of having a large family. First of all, there is hardly any privacy. You may have to share

bedrooms with your sisters or brothers. It is hard to have any time alone because there

are so many people living in one house. In addition, a large family often has more

expenses than a small family.

This graph shows that the vast majority occupational statuses in Barangay

Tambo, Seaside Parañaque are unemployed with a total percentage of 50.67%, for

employed are 39.33% and for self-employed are 10%.

The rate of unemployment is much higher than those who are employed. One of

the causes of unemployment is lack of education, most of the people that we

interviewed they did not have proper education due to financial problem.

Surviving without a job is challenging. If you don't have a regular monthly

income, you may have a hard time paying your bills, filling your time and coping with

your emotions. It may result to stress, poverty and depression and may lead to health

problems.

Unemployment has remained high in the Philippines, at almost twice the level of

neighboring countries, despite relatively fast employment growth in the past decade.

Employment growth was not sufficient to reduce unemployment because of rapid

population growth and increased labor force participation.

Despite these situations people in the community were still looking for jobs and

hoping that someday they will be lucky enough to find a job that works for them. Others

are having their own small business around the community to survive for their daily

living.

INTERPRETATION, ANALYZATION AND Justification

The figure shows that out of 74 individuals in Barangay Tambo, Seaside

Parañaque, 67 (90.54%) have blue collar job and the other 7 individuals have white

collar job.

From this figure it is very evident that people in the community are mostly having

jobs that require manual labor and physical task such as carpentry and painting. It is

easily understood because of the education that they have.

Blue-collar work can be unskilled, low-skilled, or highly skilled. Some of the

occupations in this category are construction, maintenance, carpentry, assembly,

plumbing and heating, typesetting, and truck driving. Blue-collar workers often are paid

an hourly rate and are eligible for overtime pay. Some aspects of blue-collar jobs are

unpleasant, such as the risk associated with construction, fire fighting, and law

enforcement. In general blue-collar work is often standardized and less autonomous

than other types of work. Particularly in manufacturing, workers have seen periods of

low job security for many reasons, including the substitutability of physical capital, which

is the machinery and equipment used in production. Another important characteristic is

that blue-collar work has been done mostly by men.

White-collar jobs generally require a fair amount of formal schooling, including

college degrees ranging from associate’s degrees through professional degrees such

as medicine and jurisprudence and academic degrees such as doctorates. Much of this

white-collar work is performed sitting at a desk in an office environment, such as

engineering, architecture, and bookkeeping. Many of these jobs are well paid, largely

because of the amount of education and skill building required to enter these

occupations.

That is what’s lacking in this community, without access to education they can

only be hired as laborers or blue collar work.

houses. From the 45 families that we interviewed, 36 respondents had adequate lighting

in their homes with a percentage of 80% while 9 (20%) did not have adequate lighting

inside their houses.

Adequate lighting in the house promotes a reduced risk of accidents and health

problems; better concentration and accuracy in any work; a brighter, cleaner area

resulting in a more active, cheerful environment and better visibility.

From the group’s observation, most of the family’s houses that we interviewed

have adequate source of lighting from the window and light bulb that they are using.

There are some that have inadequate lighting, due to their house is small and close to

each other that’s the reason why they cannot install a window.

Accidents can happen due to inadequate lighting. Poor lighting can be a safety

hazard - misjudgment of the position, shape or speed of an object can lead to accidents

and injury. Poor lighting can affect the quality of work, specifically in situation where

precision is required, and overall productivity. Poor lighting can be a health hazard - too

much or too little light strains eyes and may cause eye discomfort (burning, etc.) and

headaches.

It can be easy to improve lighting without increasing the number of light bulbs,

light fixtures or the electric bill. Improved lighting can be achieved by using more

daylight, by changing the position of light sources and by effectively using reflected light.

Based from the results, majority of the families owns the land due to the fact that

it is inherited from their elders. Living in urban areas is costly, you will have to pay a lot

of bills, and it is advantageous for the families that own a land that they are not paying

rent, it reduces concern and the money will be intended for their daily needs and

healthcare needs. One advantage of home ownership is you have the ability to do

whatever you want without getting consent from a landlord. Lastly, owning a home can

offer the stability of knowing where you will be living.

Some families are still renting their house; it is disadvantageous because you are

subject to owner’s rule. You are also subject to the quality in which the owner cares for

the property, which may result in a living situation you consider unpleasant. The

greatest disadvantage for renters is there zero return on your investment for rent

payments. Renters always concern about paying the rent.

The figure shows the type of housing in the Baranagy Tambo, Seaside

Parañaque. From 45 families being interviewed, twenty-seven (27) respondents with the

percentage of Sixty (60%) have mixed materials used to construct their house. A mixed

material contains hollow block, cement and wood. It can lead to accidents and

occurrence of injuries from falls since it is not that durable or strong built.

Nine (9) respondents with the percentage of twenty (20%) have strong materials

used to construct their houses. Strong materials are concrete, bricks and metals.

Concrete is a building material made from cement and mineral aggregates such as

sand. Concrete is commonly used for home foundations because it can be counted on

to withstand the weight of the home as well as moisture in the ground and the natural

shifting and settling that occurs over the years. If you want to build a home that will last

for generations use bricks. Homes are rarely built from any type of metal. However,

thick steel rods are often used to reinforce homes made of other building materials,

including wood, cement and brick. Additionally, metal is becoming increasingly popular

as a roofing material because metal roofs can withstand time a lot better than roofs of

other materials, and they tend to stand up to extreme weather better.

Nine (9) respondents with the percentage of twenty (20%) have light materials

used to construct their houses. Light materials are made of wood, which are not that

durable, it deteriorates in some years past and it burns immediately if fire accidents

happen.

Lastly is zero (0) respondent with a percentage of Zero (0) have a makeshift

house. Makeshift home are temporary and usually of poor quality, but they are used

because there is nothing better available.

If you're building a home for yourself and your family, you want to ensure that the

resulting structure is a sturdy one that will not only last a lifetime, but it will also be

around when your children have their own children and when your grandchildren, too,

are ready to raise their families. Thus, it's important to select only the strongest building

materials.

HOUSE LIGHTINGAdequate Inadequate


The graph shows the adequacy of lighting in each of the interviewed family’s

houses. From the 45 families that we interviewed, 36 respondents had adequate lighting

in their homes with a percentage of 80%. Many people do not have adequate lighting in

key locations in their home, and this is a common source of injury. Make sure you have

adequate lighting for all staircases and dark rooms, and be sure to replace any burned-

out bulbs in a timely manner. Benefits of adequate lighting; ease of seeing, families

should be able to see the house clearly and with ease when working. Good illumination

enables the family to see the objects in the house clearly and easily. Reduced

eyestrain, eyestrain is the result of inadequate and bad lighting. It causes fatigue and

impairs vision.

Other families have inadequate lighting in their house, there are 9 (20%)

respondents were in their house lack of lighting. Poor lighting can cause you to fall: Slip

and fall, trip and fall due to inadequate lighting. It can cause fall and get hurt during

household chores because there was not enough light to see properly.

The lights in your home and at the office can make a difference to the way you

feel and can even affect your health.

In fact, according to new research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology &

Metabolism, exposure to certain types of electric light before bed and at night can

increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer.

Light is critical for our health and wellbeing. Ensuring that we receive adequate

light levels at the appropriate time of day benefits our alertness, mood, productivity,

sleep patterns and many aspects of our physiology.

House Ventilation


The graph shows the adequacy of household ventilation in Barangay Tambo,

Seaside Parañaque. From the 45 families that we interviewed, 28 (62%) respondents

have adequate ventilation in their house. Proper ventilation is vital to your family's health

and comfort. It helps your home rid itself of moisture, smoke, cooking odors, and indoor

pollutants. Controls heat levels, moderates dampness, and keeps moisture out of

uninsulated walls. Kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries are the biggest sources of

moisture and odors. Having enough windows in the house, provide adequate

ventilation, it creates an upward flow of air, cool air flows in the window. Proper

ventilation ensures that adequate fresh, outdoor air flows into a home, which helps to

both control moisture and reduce indoor air pollutants such as particulate matter,

biological contaminants, and harmful gases. Natural ventilation refers to the movement

of air in and out of a home through opened windows and doors can be achieved by the

community if windows and doors are correctly used and installed.

According to the survey, there are houses that have inadequate ventilation, from

45 families being surveyed, 17 (38%) respondents with this kind of house. Many

property owners are unaware of the impact that poor ventilation can have on different

parts of their house. Not only can it create with damp and mould, it can also have a

detrimental effect on the health of all of those who use a house. This is perhaps one of

the most consequences of poor ventilation in a property. A lack of ventilation has been

linked to respiratory diseases such as asthma, and can also facilitate the spread of

diseases. It has also been linked with allergies, pneumonia, fatigue, nausea, dry eyes,

headaches and nasal congestion. However, by installing a system that helps to

distribute air evenly throughout at home, it is possible to avoid these unpleasant side-

effects.

Natural ventilation is probably one of the most cost-effective ways to improve air

flow, as it comes with no running costs and does not use up energy.

Food storage


The graph presents the type of food storage used by the families interviewed in

Barangay Tambo, Seaside Paranaque City. Out of 45 families, twenty-two percent of

them (22%) or 10 respondents using refrigerators for storage of food and 35

respondents or seventy eight percent (78%) use container covered for their food

storage.

According to our surveys, majority of the families are using container covered for

their food storage. Left over foods that not refrigerated can be contaminated or a

possibility to be spoiled. When this happen food poisoning may occur, also called

foodborne illness - is caused by harmful organisms, such as bacteria in contaminated

food. Because bacteria typically don't change the taste, smell or look of food, you can't

tell whether a food is dangerous to eat. So if you're in doubt about a food's safety, it's

best to throw it out. Food that has been left too long on the counter may be dangerous

to eat, but could look fine. Fortunately, most cases of food poisoning can be prevented

with proper food handling.

A refrigerator is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the kitchen for

keeping foods safe. We are instantly reminded of its importance to our daily lives when

the power goes off or the unit fails, putting our food's safety in jeopardy. Refrigeration

slows bacterial growth. Bacteria exist everywhere in nature. They are in the soil, air,

water, and the foods we eat. When they have nutrients (food), moisture, and favorable

temperatures, they grow rapidly, increasing in numbers to the point where some types

of bacteria can cause illness. Food that has been stored too long in the refrigerator or

freezer may be of lessened quality, but most likely would not make anyone sick.

(However, some bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes thrive at cold temperatures,

and if present, will multiply in the refrigerator over time and could cause illness.)

Cook the food well and if there are leftover pre-heat before eating. Cool down

leftovers as quickly as possible (ideally within 90 minutes), store them in the fridge and

eat them within 2 days.

WATER SUPPLY


The graph shows the type of water supplied to the community in Barangay

Tambo, Seaside Parañaque City. The residents in the community use level 1 for their

water supply. From our observation, majority or 45 families (100%) are using.

As we look around the area we noticed and seen that the pipelines have

NAWASA or National water and Sewarage Authority as their source of water supply.

Water is essential for the human body to function. The body cannot store water

and must have fresh supplies every day to perform virtually every metabolic process.

Babies and the elderly are vulnerable to lack or dehydration. Not drinking enough water

increases the risk of kidney stones and, in women, urinary tract infections.

The National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA) is currently the only

agency in water supply and sewerage collection, treatment and disposal. NAWASA is a

premier water utility, providing customers with a safe, adequate and reliable water

supply, as well as safe disposal of waste water in a viable and efficient manner.

The human body can last week without food, but only days without water. That

is how important water is in our body. Avoid drinking dirty or contaminated water.

Cholera, a bacterial illness, can be acquired when sources of drinking water have been

contaminated. Malaria is caused by a parasite, and a virus causes Dengue fever. Both

malaria and Dengue fever are carried by mosquitoes, which lay their larvae in still water.

The amount of water we need depends on our body size, metabolism, the

weather, the food we eat and our activity levels.

DRINKING WATER


The graph showed the type of drinking water in the community of Barangay

Tambo Seaside Paranaque City. From 45 families interviewed, 38 (84%) is at level 3

while 7 respondents or (16%) drinking other water supply such as mineral water.

Majority of the families drinks water directly from the faucet, where NAWASA is

the source of their water supply. Based on our research, water from NAWASA is safe

and a reliable water supply. Despite this it is still important to boil or filter the water from

NAWASA before drinking because there is a possibility that the water coming from them

could be contaminated, if we can drink contaminated water that contains

microorganisms such as “Giardia” (a common microorganism that if not killed, leads to

intestinal disorders), bacteria, or viruses that can lead to infections. Boiling, filtering, or

chemically treating water can remove or kill microorganisms. How many minutes to boil

water until safe to drink: 30 minutes at 16 degree Fahrenheit; 3 minutes at 185 degree

Fahrenheit and instant at 212 degree Fahrenheit.

Water is essential to good health. There are many different opinions on how

much water we should be drinking every day. The health authorities commonly

recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon. This is

called the 8×8 rule and is very easy to remember. But in according to other research,

your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are

and where you live. Water is our body's principal chemical component and makes up

about 60 percent of our body weight. Every system in our body depends on water. Lack

of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough

water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your

energy and make you tired.

respondent use boiling. Water boiled before drinking it is one of the recommended

practices by health officers especially the third world countries where their source of

drinking water is not safe and sometimes the causes for some incidence of common

illness for children. To ward off the impending occurrence of water-borne diseases,

boiling your drinking water is the safest way, study shows that water boiled for three

minutes kills’ bacteria, including disease-causing organisms and giardia cysts.

Respondent using filtration is 7 families or 16%. Water filtration also makes water

taste better. When water tastes better, people are more likely to drink it. There are

plenty of ways to filter your water, and they all hold some kind of importance for your

wellbeing.

On the other hand, no one is using Sedimentation as a method of water

treatment. Sedimentation is a physical water treatment process using gravity to

remove suspended solids from water. Solid particles entrained by the turbulence of

moving water may be removed naturally by sedimentation in the still water of lakes

and oceans.

There are 4 families or 9% purchasing bottled mineral water that uses mostly by

babies or children in the family while other families 14 (31%) are not using any method

of water treatment. These families drink directly the water coming from their faucets.

The water is found almost everywhere on Earth. Water resources like rivers,

lakes, which provide water contain a lot of pollution, garbage unfit for consumption. To

be clean, the water should undergo a number of treatments necessary to make it

drinkable.

houses in Barangay Tambo Seaside Paranaque City. From the total of 45 or families

that was interviewed all of them or 100% indicated the presence of pests such as

cockroach, rodents, flies, insects present in every household.

It is inevitable that pests will invade our homes. It is always best to have these

pests controlled by the individual and community who know how to do it with less cost

and safer for you, and your family. The results indicate that all or (100%) of the families

that was interviewed had presence of pests such as cockroach, rodents, flies, insects

which is very alarming especially because it is the cause of poor sanitation.

A clean home will always have fewer pests than a dirty home, but that doesn’t

mean that the clean one doesn’t have any. Some insects can survive without food and

they are capable of living in your home while being completely unnoticed. All that is left

to do is keep them out of your sight and keep their numbers at bay.

Sanitation and exclusion through sealing possible entry points are the best ways

of preventing pest problems. Aside from these are less costly, they have been proven to

be more effective means of keeping pests away from your property. Seal tiny holes

around the facility to keep ants from establishing passageway through your area.

Concerns for the environment and the requirements by regulators for improved

practices in the industry have meant that new methods to control pests have had to be

developed.

nine or (36%) have been domesticating cats, fifteen or (60%) has dogs, one or (4%)has

a pet rabbit.

Almost every household in the Philippines has a pet dog. Dogs, after all, are

supposed to be “Man’s Best Friend.” Their loyalty, intelligence, and of course cuteness

make them endearing to pet owners. While36% who have cats also preferred pet by

people who want low-maintenance animal companions. “Cats are not as high

maintenance as dogs. They are a little bit independent. You can leave for a longer

period of time.” And rabbit with 4% may be easy to love, but they’re not quite as easy to

care for. These lovable, social animals are wonderful companions for people who take

the time to learn about their needs.

The condition that such facilities are adequate, clean and sanitary, and that they

will not be used for nor cause pain and/or suffering to the animals is a continuing

requirement for the operation of these establishments. Aside from rabies, the ordinance

authors also expressed apprehension over “zoonotic diseases” or diseases that can be

transmitted from animals to humans such as salmonella and ringworm.

This indicates all age groups have contributed to the decline in pregnancy rates

as of this year (2015). The observed graphical presentation of the frequency percentage

status of pregnancy can most likely be attributed to changes in family planning practices

and programs.

Fertility trends can also be established using retrospective data from a single

survey. It uses information from the retrospective birth histories obtained in the 2008

NDHS to examine trends in age-specific fertility rates for successive five-year periods

before the survey. To calculate these rates, births were classified according to the

period of time in which the birth occurred and the mother’s age at the time of birth.

The table shows the common ailments of the families interviewed in Tambo

Seaside Paranaque. In a total of 45 families it shows that Sore Eyes has the highest

percentage Twenty-two point twenty two percent (22.22%) of the total average, followed

by Cough and Cold with the same equivalent percentage of seventeen point seventy

eight percent (17.78%), High Blood Pressure with a percentage of thirteen point thirty

three percent (13.33%), Asthma with a percentage of eleven point eleven (11.11%), Flu

and Fever with same equivalent percentage of eight point eighty nine percent (8.89%).

Commonly observed in Tambo seaside Paranaque are congested houses which

can result to raid spread of diseases throughout the community. Sore Eyes is the most

common Ailment based on the families interviewed, the residents of the community are

at a higher risk of having this type of virus or bacterial infection in the eye as it is very

contagious. Sore eyes are such a common and recurring ailment. A common cause of

sore eyes is conjunctivitis (or pink eye), but the problem can also be caused by an

infection, allergies, too much sun exposure, eye fatigue, or contact lens wear.

Colds and Cough are also very common in Tambo seaside community. Colds

and Cough here in the Philippines are common because colds and cough are minor

infections of the respiratory tract which can lead to major illnesses. Colds and Cough

are commonly considered as a symptom of some illness.

Information about common ailments in the community is important. In this study it

is very important to know the most common ailments that are in the community which

allows the researcher to keep track of common illnesses across a defined community

and as well profound ways on how to prevent or manage these ailments in the

community. Keeping track of common illness found in a specific community and to

determine self-awareness of each family in the community and to promote a healthy

status or a healthy wellbeing in the community is the primary focus of the researcher.

Contrary to common belief, Sore eyes does not infect someone by just looking

into an infected eye, one can only get infected by direct contact with secretions or

something holding secretions of patient such as handkerchief, towel, wash bowl or

water.

Cold weather does not directly cause Colds and Cough, although some colds

viruses easily grow during cold weather. The reason why colds are more common

during cold days is because people tend to stay inside when it gets chilly out. Indoor air

is trapped, so when people sneeze, others catch the viruses that come along with it.

Allergies and physical stress also do not cause colds but they are factors that make a

person more susceptible to the infection. Common colds are transmitted from person to

person through direct contact or contaminated surfaces commonly touched.

INTERPRETATION, ANALYSIS, AND JUSTIFICATION

The table shows the areas of consultation of the citizens in Tambo seaside

Paranaque. None (people who don’t ask for consultation) has the highest percentage of

forty six point sixty seven percent (46.67%) as most people in Tambo seaside practice

home care such as use of Breast milk for treatment of sore eyes, herbs, and self-

medications. Following is Health Center with a percentage of thirty seven point seventy

eight percent (37.78%) where people of in Tambo seaside mostly have consultation

about their illness. Hospital with a percentage of eleven point eleven percent (11.11%)

and Private Clinic with a percentage of four point forty four percent (4.44%).

As poverty is an issue when it comes to seeking health care in the Philippines, it

is hard for people to consult health status from Private Clinics and Hospitals. It is very

important to consult in Health centers at least once a month knowing the different

services they provide for people in the community. It is also most convenient

considering its proximity to the community with professional health care providers

available in the health centers.

The Community Health Center is a community-based and patient-directed

organization. Its goal is to provide first aid, maternal and child health care, diagnosis of

social diseases, and other basic health services to all the members of the community it

is serving. It is usually the first point of contact between residents of the community and

other health care facility levels.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the goal of Primary Health

Care is beneficial for all. It aims to reduce health exclusion and social disparities. It

helps in organizing health services according to people’s needs and expectations. It

also works on integrating health into all sectors. Primary health care gives high

importance to education, nutrition, preventive medicine and treatment of the most

common diseases and injuries. It is considered as a practical means of giving any form

of health care for increasing populations in poor economies such as in Third World

countries. The Philippines is among the first countries to adopt the idea of Primary

health care and integrate it in most local communities.

Phone with Zero percent (0%).

Community-based primary care information systems are one of the building

blocks for national health information systems.These structures lead to a huge amount

of “information work” in the transformation of health information at the community level.

Information about health prevention is very important. Sources like health center

personnel, television, radio, phones, and newspapers/fliers/posters can be used as a

means of receiving health information.

Base on the survey, health center has the highest percentage which is very

useful to the people of Tambo seaside community. Health center personnel usually

conduct a house-to- house visit for children’s immunization depending on the effect of

the vaccine. In some cases they also go to schools and conduct health teaching for

additional information regarding whatever present health issue is affected.

LECTURER : BSN 2A (GROUP 1)

SUBJECT : COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING

TOPIC : Proper Garbage Disposal

VENUE : Tambo Seaside Paranaque

PARTICIPANTS : Interviewed families in Tambo seaside

I. GOAL : The people in the community will be able to gain knowledge regarding the proper waste disposal

GENERAL OBJECTIVES : To develop awareness and importance of proper waste

disposal, segregation and management.

II. CONTENT

1. What is environmental sanitation?

These are activities aimed at improving or maintaining the standard of

basic environmental conditions affecting the well-being of people.

These conditions include:

clean and safe water supply,

clean and safe ambient air,

efficient and safe animal, human, and industrial waste disposal,

protection of food from biological and chemical contaminants,

Adequate housing in clean and safe surroundings also called

environmental hygiene.

2. Importance of Proper Garbage Disposal

Proper waste disposal is critical due to the fact that certain types of wastes

can be hazardous and can contaminate the environment if not handled properly.

These types of waste also have the potential to cause disease or get into water

supplies. Properly disposing of waste is not just a personal responsibility; some

kinds of waste, usually hazardous, must be properly disposed of. Toxic waste

can seep into the ground and contaminate our water supplies, and sometimes

cause widespread disease. Even non-toxic waste causes pollution that

contributes to global warming and a general negative impact on the public health.

3. What are the effects of poor Domestic Waste management?

Solid wastes, when improperly disposed of can be an environmental

hazard in that the surrounding environments as well as the fish are

affected. Poor solid waste has also led to the death of animals (especially

domestic animals).

These wastes when improperly dumped into the atmosphere can lead to

the destruction of the ozone layer and may cause diseases such as

cancer.

It also affects drainage. This may cause flooding.

Poor Domestic Waste management also displays an ugly scenario of the

environment. This can affect the tourism industry, as the tourist may not

get attracted to visit the country.

It has also led to the spread of diseases in such a way that when wastes

like broken bottles and these are dumped anywhere, they collect water in

them (when it rains) and this may become a breeding ground for

mosquitoes.

Wastes like human stool cause diseases when poorly dumped, as the flies

will carry the germ from the stool.

It can also lead to human injury. For example, when a person is walking

and steps on the broken bottles or nails or even pins (shape objects), he

can get injured which may lead to bleeding. (These waste objects are

infected with germs)

4. Diseases related to Improper Waste Disposal

Diarrhea

Skin diseases

Cholera

Dengue fever

Hepatitis

Tuberculosis

5. Different Ways of Proper Garbage Disposal

Waste can be segregated as

1. Biodegradable and

2. Non-biodegradable

Biodegradable waste includes organic waste, e.g. kitchen waste, vegetables,

fruits, flowers, leaves from the garden, and paper.

Non-biodegradable waste can be further segregated into:

a) Recyclable waste – plastics, paper, glass, metal, etc.

b) Toxic waste – old medicines, paints, chemicals, bulbs, spray cans,

fertilizer and pesticide containers, batteries, shoe polish.

c) Soiled – hospital waste such as cloth soiled with blood and other body

fluids.

Toxic and soiled waste must be disposed of with utmost care.

Dispose in the right place

Always cover the garbage can

Be aware of the time the garbage collector will get the garbage

All garbage must be ready for pick up in the right place and at the right

time.

Collect reusable materials as much as possible.

TEACHING PLAN FOR COUGH AND COLDS PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT


SUBJECT : Community Health Nursing

TOPIC : COUGH AND COLD AS A RELATED HEALTH PROBLEM

VENUE : Barangay Tambo, Seaside Paranaque

PARTICIPANTS : Families Interviewed

I. GOAL : The participants would be able to know the importance of cough and

cold prevention and management

II. OBJECTIVES

1. After health teaching, the participants will have enough knowledge on the

causes of cough and colds.

2. After health teaching, the participants will have enough knowledge on how

cough and colds can be prevented.

3. The residents of Tambo seaside will be able to manage cough and colds

III. CONTENT

1. Definition of cough?

A cough is a healthy reflex that helps keep the airways in the throat and chest

free from mucus, dust, and dirt. Coughs can be associated with colds, bacteria, or

other viral illnesses such as influenza (the flu), which causes swelling of the voice

box and windpipe. Coughs that don't go away may be a sign of more worrisome

diseases, such as asthma and pneumonia, and even heart problems.

2. What are causes of cough and colds?

A cold virus enters your body through your mouth, eyes or nose. The virus

can spread through droplets in the air when someone who is sick coughs, sneezes

or talks. But it also spreads by hand-to-hand contact with someone who has a cold

or by sharing contaminated objects, such as utensils, towels, toys or telephones. If

you touch your eyes, nose or mouth after such contact or exposure, you're likely to

catch a cold.

3. Are colds and cough contagious?

It can be. Colds and the flu can be spread through droplets released into the

air when someone coughs or sneezes, so coughing can spread certain illnesses.

Teach your child to cough into his elbow or shoulder, rather than coughing into his

hand or a tissue (and you should do the same). This way the virus won't get on his

hands, where he can spread it to every object he touches.

4. How can you manage cough and colds?

Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids.

Try to breathe moist air. Use a humidifier or take a steamy shower.

Consume warm fluids (soup or tea) to provide relief for a stuffy nose and

to loosen phlegm.

Eat a well-balanced diet. If you cannot, ensure you are getting enough

nutrients by taking a daily multivitamin.

Avoid dairy products, as they can thicken phlegm.

Avoid alcohol, as it impairs your body’s immune system.

5. When should I call my child's healthcare provider?

CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

High fever

Ear pain

Sinus-type headache

Unusually severe cold symptoms

Cough that gets worse while other cold symptoms improve

Flare up of any chronic lung problem, such as asthma

Coughing up blood

Wheezes when exhales.
