 INTRODUCTION

Community Organizing Participatory Action Research, is a collective,

participatory, transformative, liberative, sustained and systematic process
of building people’s organizations by mobilizing and enhancing the
capabilities and resources of the people for the resolution of their issues and
concerns towards effecting change in their existing oppressive and
exploitative conditions (1994 National Rural Conference).COPAR or
Community Organizing Participatory Action Research is a vital part of public
health nursing. COPAR aims to transform the apathetic, individualistic and
voiceless poor into dynamic, participatory and politically responsive
community. Community health nursing is essential to the health and welfare
of the entire population. Healthcare should be accessible to everyone. Not
only do community health nurses deliver patient care, they also help reduce
the occurrence of injuries, illnesses and deaths by informing people about
health risks. Through education about healthy choices and advocacy to
reform the imbalance in healthcare, community health nurses can make a
difference in the lives of the disadvantaged in their communities.
Community organizing involves mobilizing a group of people to address
common issues and concerns and enabling them to take action. It focuses
on collective action; the power derived from the synchronized actions of
people in unity, as opposed to separate individuals. Quite akin to the
common saying, ‘United we stand, divided we fall.’ From fighting social
injustice to inequality, community organizing finds its roots in movements of
the past such as the suffragettes and the trade union movements, among
others.

The chosen barangay for this action research is Barangay San

Roque, in Antipolo City, Philippines.

1
 The purpose of this research is to know the different resources in the
various aspects present in the community so that the researchers will be
able to provide the necessary assistance and recommendations towards the
community members to promote awareness towards the gathered data that
depicts present and past problems of the community, opportunities for
improvements, areas of success, and future plans for activities. It contains
the Community, Population, Socio-demographic, and Health Profile Socio
Economic and Environmental Indicators, Communication resource,
Morbidity and Mortality Data, Analysis of Data, and Data on Community
Development of Barangay San Roque.

A. COMMUNITY PROFILE

a. Geographic Identifiers

Historical Background – The total population of Brgy. San Roque

is 28,721, where the male and female distributions are 14,303 and 14,418,
respectively. While the total number of household is 5,887. Barangay San
roque is one of 16 barangays found in the heart of Antipolo some 28
kilometers from Metro Manila. It is bounded on the north of Barangay Dela
Paz, by Barangay San Roque, Angono, Rizal on the south, By Barangay
Dalig on the east and by Barangay Dolores, Taytay. Rizal on the west.
Barangay San Roque has an elected Punong Barangay, a Sangguniang
Barangay consisting of seven elected members and the Sangguniang
Kabataan Chairman, and a separate appointive secretary and an appointive
treasurer — altogether 11 barangay officials. Barangay San Roque is
classified as an urban area that is just a stone's throw away from the
enshrined church of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, the municipal
hall and public market. This strategic position provides the people better
access to the services offered by the local community.

The town proper occupies 11 percent of the land area of the barangay
with its total land area of 1,914.44 ha The remaining portion lies on rolling
areas, giving the barangay an estimated altitude of 195m above sea level,
altitude of 14'34'58.70” and a longitude of 121'10'20.40”.

Interpretation:

A population estimate is a calculation of the size of a population for

a year between census periods or for the current year. There are two types
of estimation techniques: inter-census and post-census. An inter-census
estimation is for a date between two census takings and usually takes the
results of the two censuses into account. A post-census estimate is typically
conducted for the current year. According to the 2015 Census, the age
group with the highest population in San Roque is 5 to 9, with 6,119
individuals. Conversely, the age group with the lowest population is 80 and
over, with 255 individuals. Combining age groups together, those aged 14
and below, consisting of the young dependent population which include
infants/babies, children and young adolescents/teenagers, make up an
aggregate of 30.87% (18,161). Those aged 15 up to 64, roughly, the
economically active population and actual or potential members of the work
force, constitute a total of 65.71% (38,661). Finally, old dependent
population consisting of the senior citizens, those aged 65 and over, total
3.43% (2,018) in all.

Interpretation:

Population density is often used as a simple relative measure of how

an organism responds to local conditions. If conditions are not good for the
species, the density will be low (organisms will have died or moved out of
the sampled area), whereas if conditions are good the density will be high
(organisms will have reproduced and/or immigrated into the area). In this
way, changes in density can provide insight into the natural history of the
preferences and tolerances of individuals of the species. Of course, if the
species is regulated by density-dependent processes (e.g., mortality or
emigration) then the relationship of density with the attractiveness of the
environment can be obscured. Even though the environment changes in a
positive way, there may be no increase in density. The main problem lies in
defining the area to be sampled. If it includes the entire population of
interest, then the density multiplied by the area gives total population size.
However, if the area does not include the whole population, then this
simple calculation does not work. However, it will perhaps give a relative
measure of the population so that changes in the population size will be
reflected in changes in the density. Unfortunately, density-dependent
processes can weaken this link. If, as the population increased in size, the
population was unable to expand the area it inhabited, then the density
would increase in proportion to the size. However, if the population was able
(or driven by density-dependent migration) to expand its range, then the
density could remain constant while the population grew. Since range
expansion appears to be common, density should only be used as a proxy
for population size when the range is constrained, as on islands. In most
studies, therefore, density simply gives the number of organisms present in
some defined study area. This will seldom correspond to a biological
population.

Interpretation:

According to the 2015 Census, the age group with the highest
population in San Roque is 5 to 9, with 6,119 individuals. Conversely, the
age group with the lowest population is 80 and over, with 255 individuals.
Combining age groups together, those aged 14 and below, consisting of the
young dependent population which include infants/babies, children and
young adolescents/teenagers, make up an aggregate of 30.87% (18,161).

(38,661). Finally, old dependent population consisting of the senior citizens,
those aged 65 and over, total 3.43% (2,018) in all. The computed age
dependency ratios mean that among the population of San Roque, there are
47 youth dependents to every 100 of the working age population; there are
5 aged/senior citizens to every 100 of the working population; and overall,
there are 52 dependents (young and old-age) to every 100 of the working
population

Analysis:

The frequency of male and female residents of Barangay San

Roque in various age groups is shown in the table. There are 387 males
and 475 females under the age of below one year, for a total of 862. It is
followed by the age group of 1 to 4 years, which includes a total of 3, 303
people (1, 486 males and 1, 817 females). There are 2, 584 males and 3,
160 females in the age group of 7 to 14 years, for a total of 5, 744. The age
range of 15 to 49 years has the largest overall frequency of 12, 924, with 5,
815 males and 7, 109 females. It is followed by the 50 to 64-year-old age
group, which contains 1, 292 males and 1, 580 females, for a total of 2, 872
people. The last age group, 65 and up, contains 646 males and 790 females,
for a total of 1, 436 people of both sexes. There a total of 12, 921 males and
15, 800 females out of a total of 28, 721. According to the data, the age
group of 15 to 49 years has the highest total number of both sexes among
all the groups in the barangay, whereas the age group of under one year
has the lowest total number of both sexes.

Interpretation:

The fundamental factor that tends to impact a population's age

distribution—and, thus, the general form of the associated pyramid—is the
rate of reproduction, rather than death or mortality rates. High fertility and
rapid population expansion, low fertility and moderate growth, and very low
fertility and negative growth are all revealed by population pyramids.
According to the data, it is associated with poor fertility and slow growth,
since the total number of both sexes in the aged under one year is the lowest
of all the categories in the barangay. A spike or fall in mortality generally
affects all age groups in some measure, and hence has only limited effects
on the proportion in each age group. A change in fertility, on the other hand,
only affects the number of people in one age group: newborns. As a result,
a decrease or rise in fertility has a concentrated influence at one end of the
age distribution and can have a considerable impact on the overall age
structure (Gaur, 2020).

Analysis:

The table shows the sex Ratios calculated by Barangay San Roque's
age groups. The sex ratio summarizes a population's sex composition - the
number of males for 100 females in the same population at a specific
location. According to the table, there are 387 males and 475 females under
the age of one year, a ratio of 81.47. The age group 1 to 4 contains 1,486
males and 1,817 females, resulting in an 81.78 sex ratio. The age group 5
to 6 years is next, with 711 males and 869 females, for a ratio of 81.81. In
the age group of 7 to 14 years, there are 2,584 males and 3,160 females,
resulting in an 81.77 sex ratio. There are 5,815 males and 7,109 females in
the 15 to 49 age group, a ratio of 81.80. It is followed by the 50 to 64 age
group, which includes 1,292 males and 1,580 females in an 81.77 sex ratio.
Lastly, there are 646 males and 790 females in the 65 and above age group,
for a sex ratio of 81.77. If the ratio is less than 100, it means there are more
females than males in the population. Across the board, girls outnumber
males in all age categories.

Interpretation:

Males are born somewhat more frequently than females (a typical

ratio would be 105 or 106 males for every 100 females). Males, on the other
hand, are more prone to suffer at a younger age than females at almost all
ages following birth. This disparity appears to be biological in nature. The
general rule that more males are born but females have lower mortality
means that during childhood, males outnumber females of the same age,
the difference decreases as age increases, the numbers of males and
females become equal at some point in the adult life span, and the number
of females becomes disproportionately large as higher ages are reached.
It's probable that men between the ages of 20 and 59 have left the
community in search of better economic prospects. The discrepancies after
the age of 60 can be attributed to mortality as well as migration. The findings
have ramifications for the region's labor supply. Furthermore, it suggests

16
that in the working age categories, there are more women than men in the
community (Thomas, 2020).

Analysis:

The table 2.3 shows the frequency and percentage distribution of

dependency ratio in Barangay San Roque, Antipolo City. Productive got a
highest percentage of 55% with a frequency of 15,796. These individuals
are working for their family and for the way of their living. Moreover,
Dependent got 45% with a frequency of 12,925. These include the children
who are still dependent on their parents because they are still below the
working age and some of them are students. Additionally, 65 years old and
above are also included in the dependent because some of them cannot
work by themselves and they are required to stay in their house.

Interpretation:

The dependent population is the non-working population of a country.

They do not contribute towards the economy of the country. On the other
hand, the productive population is the working population of the country.
They highly contribute towards the economy of the country by engaging
different employments. This is the key difference between dependent and
productive population. Moreover, the dependent population depends on
productive population for the fulfilment of their basic requirements. (Schatz,
E., et.al, 2015)

Analysis:

The table 2.4 depicts the frequency and percentage distribution of dialect
spoken in Barangay San Roque, Antipolo City. The dialect predominantly
spoken is tagalog which compromises 75 percent of the total population with
a frequency of 21,541. The remaining 25 percent with a frequency of 7,180
consist of other dialects such as Ilonggo, Bisaya, Ilocano, and
Kapampangan this is primarily due to intermarriages and migrations.

Interpretation:

Tagalog, is the national language and used in formal education throughout

the country. Due to its status at the time as the main language spoken in
Manila, Tagalog became the national language of the Philippines in 1937.
There are also major regional languages spoken in the Philippines that
19
 include Aklanon, Basian, Bikol, Cebuano, Chavacano (a Spanish-based
creole), Hiligaynon, Ibanag, Ilocano, Ilonggo, Ivatan, Maranao, Tagalog,
Kapampangan, Kinaray-a, Waray, Maguindanao, Pangasinan, Sambal,
Surigaonon, Tausug and Yakan. These are all mostly indigenous languages
belonging to the Austronesian language family. (Koyfman,2019)

Table 3.1 Types of Schools and its population

Analysis:

The table 3. 1 shows the types of schools (public and private) as well
as the overall number of Pre-School, Elementary and High School or its
population. There are three public schools in the area. The first is Juan
Sumulong Elementary School, which had 333 students, 9 teachers, and 3
classrooms in pre-school and 8,726 students, 159 teachers, and 58

23
classrooms in elementary. The second school is Lores Elementary School,
which has 74 students in pre-school, 1 teacher, and 2 classrooms, in
elementary, 1.722 pupils, 36 teachers and 24 classrooms, and Sumulong
Memorial High School, which has 2,649 students, 58 teachers, and 24
classrooms. There are seven private schools in the area.

The first is Antipolo Immaculate Conception, which has 245 students,

5 teachers and 5 classrooms in pre-school, in elementary they had 729
pupils, 18 teachers and 12 classrooms. The second school is Unciano
College, which does not have a pre-school and only has an elementary and
a high school. The elementary school had 20 students, 4 teachers, and 2
classrooms, while the high school had 134 students, 8 teachers, and 4
classrooms. The third school is Academe School, which has 28 students, 2
teachers, and 3 classrooms in pre-school, 130 students, 13 teachers, and 3
classrooms in elementary, and 90 students, 13 teachers, and 3 classrooms
in high school. The fourth school is Southridge Private High School, with 44
students, 4 teachers, and 4 classrooms.

The fifth school is Maranatha Christian School, which has only a pre-
school with 24 students, 2 teachers, and 2 classrooms. The sixth is Angels
of Mary Learning, which only has a pre-school with 157 students, 13
teachers, and 8 classrooms, and the seventh is Mother Goose Learning
Center, which has 655 students, 16 teachers, and 24 classrooms in pre-
school and 120 students, 3 teachers, and 4 classrooms in elementary.
Based on the information supplied, it appears that public schools have far
more students than private schools, implying a lower teacher-to-student
ratio. In contrast, although there are fewer total students and teachers in
private schools, the student-to-teacher ratio is generally lower.

Interpretation:

The majority of Filipino children attend public schools, which are

government-funded and free to attend. Public school education continues to
be of poor quality; classes are big, teaching materials are scarce, and
teachers are underpaid. Those with the financial means enroll their children

24
in private schools. Although private schools are not government-funded,
they follow a similar curriculum as public schools. In the Philippines, many
private schools began as missionary or Christian schools, and hence follow
a faith-based educational system.

At private schools, the major languages of instruction are Filipino and

English. Classes are typically smaller than those at public institutions, and
facilities and resources are generally superior (Allianz,2021). Although
public schools are far from perfect, they still provide major benefits to the
students who attend them on a daily basis. Every youngster in a community
has access to an education through public schools. According to the
Huffington Post, public schools are not allowed to reject children away
based on their academic performance, income level, or disability. This
assures that every kid in a community, regardless of their current personal
or financial condition, has access to the same educational opportunities as
their neighbors down the street.

Because education is generally viewed as society's great equalizer,

making education accessible to all is a crucial benefit these institutions
provide. While many people are dissatisfied with the status of public schools
today – and with good cause – the majority of pupils in the system still
benefit from them. With so many advantages, it's no surprise that the
majority of children and their parents continue to prefer the public school in
their neighborhood for their education (Grace,2020).

Interpretation:

Major sources of livelihood in Brgy. San Roque are white andblue-collar

workers. Followed by business persons who own establishments seen in

Analysis

The table depicts the total number of household surveyed in

Barangay San Roque. The total number of households is 5,887. There are
various types of dwelling units constructed by residents in Barangay, which
reflects their socio-economic status. The type of material used are
makeshift, light, mixed and strong. The most number type materials used in
barangay San Roque is mixed with a total frequency of 1,824, second most
number material used is makeshift with a total frequency of 1,589, third is
Light with the total frequency of 1,354 and lastly, the most least material
used is strong with a total frequency of 1,120.

Interpretation

Makeshift is an improvised housing unit is an independent, makeshift

shelter or structure, built of waste materials and without a predetermined
plan for the purpose of habitation by one household, which is being used as
living quarters at the time of the census. Makeshift things are temporary and
usually of poor quality, but they are used because there is nothing better
available. Lightweight building implies an unusual approach to house
design. It starts at the small scale of material composition. Materials
themselves are designable structures, consisting of various substances,
elements, and substructures, such as fibers, metal, polymers, wood chips
and clay particles, to name quite many. The makeshift and light types are
usually found in remote or depressed puroks in Barangay San Roque.
Mixed-income housing is an alternative to traditional subsidized-housing
initiatives for low-income people. Mixed-income housing communities are
developments that comprise differing levels of affordability, with some units
at market rate and others available to low-income households at below-
market rates. This type of material is a model for affordable housing that
does not concentrate on building in dense, urban areas. It is intended to

28
provide good housing for people with diverse income classifications. And
lastly the last type of material is strong, a term used to describe a group of
defensive buildings built at the end of the 16th century. They have
substantial thick walls, with living accommodation above a basement.
Strong houses can stand three or four stories high but are different from a
tower in that they are usually elongated in plan. They are also different from
bastles. Mixed and strong materials are built in urban puroks and
subdivision in Barangay San Roque

Analysis:

A total of 48 various manufacturing industry is present in Brgy. San

Roque. There are 7 of bakery and ice cream. Laboratories, furniture: wood,
engineering work, and machine shop: jewelry, woodcraft, handicraft, and
weaving have 3 of each. 9 garment and embroidery, 2 footwear and
furniture: metal. Marble work, furniture: rattan, and engineering work, and
machine shop: ceramics and pottery have 1 of each.

Interpretation:

Manufacturing industries are the ones involved in the transformation

into new products of goods, materials, or substances. A large range of
companies engaged in a wide range of activities includes the manufacturing
industry. They accommodate small manufacturers that produce a limited
amount of goods as well as large-scale manufacturing enterprises.
Economies thrive when they have strong manufacturing industries. A
healthy manufacturing industry is one of the hallmark indicators of a healthy,
thriving economy. And manufacturing intermingles with nearly every area of
the economy.

Manufacturing industries matter because factory jobs tend to be

middle-class jobs that pay above-average wages. Manufacturing is one of
the few industries where a worker without an advanced degree can earn a
living wage. Because it is one of the country’s largest employment sectors,
The rapid growth rate of both population and household also demands an
increase in employment and services.

present in Brgy. San Roque which has 121 in total. Followed by the

32
restaurant/carinderia and Hardware and Electrical Supplies. Pawnshop
ranked 4th which has 10. The least number of commercial establishments
are funeral parlor, public market, talipapa, and cinemas which only have 1

Interpretation:

A commercial establishment is any premises used for commercial

purposes including supermarkets, bars, retail stores, and private offices. It
includes establishments with common business areas like banks, fitness
clubs, and restaurants. And are mainly business and profit-oriented they
may provide all sorts of services like marketing, sales, also the non-product
services like repairs, consumer end services like supply of food, or it also
includes non-product services

e. Road Work

Programs and Activities

1. Installation of an overhead tank at the submersible pump at Plaza

Camerino
2. Installation of static tank at J.P. Rizal and A.Luna Streets
3. Installation of park lights along J.P.Rizal St. and Magat Salamat Plaza

4. Installation of gutters at Malong and Calderon Streets and rehabilitation

of drainage system at P. Burgos Street

5. Asphalting of Plaza Camerino, Aguinaldo Alley, Cabezas St., T. Alonzo

St., Aguinaldo St., and P. Ocampo St.

6. Putting of humps, traffic signs and pedestrian lanes in school zones and
other accident prone areas

7. Installation and repair of manhole covers in the entire Barangay Marilag

1.

33
Analysis:

There are seven (7) roadwork projects in Barangay San Roque,

Antipolo City for the next three (3) years. The first in the list is an installation
of overhead tank at the submersible pump to supply water at Plaza
Camerino. The second one in the list is Installation of static tank at J.P. Rizal
and A. Luna Streets to store clean drinking water. The third project is
installation of park lights along J.P. Rizal St. and Magat Salamat Plaza. The
other project is the Installation of gutters at Malong and Calderon streets to
serve as walkway for pedestrians. Also, the rehabilitation of drainage
system at P. Burgos St. The other projects are asphalting of Plaza
Camerino, Aguinaldo Alley, Cabezas St., T. Alonzo St., Aguinaldo St., and
P. Ocampo St., Installation and repair of manhole covers in the entire
Barangay Marilag 1. And the last one is Putting of humps, traffic signs and
pedestrian lanes in school zones and other accident prone.

Interpretation:

The overhead tank will be utilized not simply to store water, but also to stock
chemicals to keep the flow going when they're needed. Installing park lights
along J.P.Rizal St. and Magat Salamat Plaza will increase pedestrian and
driver safety, and promotes a safer environment for passers-by and local
walkers, whereas a dark parking lot might be an ideal hiding place for crooks
and thieves. Installing overhead tanks can be beneficial in Plaza Camerino.
Installing gutters will carry rainfall into the underground drainage system to
prevent flooding. Asphalting will provide smooth roads are that will be safer
for both drivers and passengers to pass through the said areas in the
barangay. Putting of humps, traffic lights and pedestrian lanes in accident
prone area will make the people in the barangay to keep a uniform and low
speed on a residential street or to reduce speeds at specific locations, such
as intersections or pedestrian crosswalks to avoid accidents. Installation of
manholes with covers will provide a safe passage to the sewage conduits,
which need to be opened now and then for maintenance and emergency

34
purposes. Manhole covers protect the roads from being flooded during
monsoons by preventing the water from getting accumulated.

The next one was the recreational facilities that has 3 movie house established,
and it is the highest number of facilities that has been built among others, while the
playground, park, reading center, and historical landmark has 1 facility established.

Interpretation:
When the land use of a property is classified as recreational, it signifies that
the property is intended to be utilized for the enjoyment of the people who use it.
Parks and open areas, as well as sporting fields, playgrounds, and swimming
pools, are all possible. Residents spends their leisure time in recreational activities
that will enhance their mental health, concentration and anxiety, stress

Interpretation:

The topography of Antipolo may be described as generally hilly and

mountainous, the hilly portions lying in the west and the mountainous area
concentrated in the east as part of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Well-watered
valleys are located in the middle of the city and in the northern and southern edges.
Plateaus of over 200 meters above sea level are seen in the western half of the
study area, including the site of the Poblacion and portions of Brgy. Cupang and

Analysis:

The main source of water supply in Barangay San Roque is supplied by the
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), it services 3,827
households which is equivalent 65 percent of the total household population. The
remaining 35 percent which is 2,060 households, depends on deep wells
constructed by the Barangay.

38
Interpretation:

Since 1997, the Company has been significantly improving its water and used
water services by expanding its distribution lines and eliminating system losses in
its coverage areas, resulting in increased water availability from 26% in 1997 to
99% of the central distribution system to date. Manila Water provides water
treatment, water distribution, sewerage and sanitation services to over six million
people in the East Zone to a broad range of residential, semi-business,
commercial, and industrial customers in 23 cities and municipalities that
includes Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasig, Pateros, San Juan, Taguig, Marikina, most
parts of Quezon City, portions of Manila, as well as the following towns of Rizal
which are Angono, Antipolo, Baras, Binangonan, Cainta, Cardona, Pililla, San
Mateo, Taytay and Tanay (“Manila Water Company,” 1997).

Analysis:

The main source of electricity in Barangay San Roque is supplied by the

Meralco, which provides electricity to 5,003 households which is equivalent to 85%
of the total household population. The remaining 15 percent which is 884
households are using lamps as light due to the absence of power supply in the
area.

Interpretation:

The Manila Electric Company, also known as MERALCO, is the Philippines'

largest distributor of electrical power. The word MERALCO is an acronym for
Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company, which was the company's original
name from 1903 to 1919. MERALCO is the Metro Manila's only electric power
distributor and holds the power distribution franchise for some 22 cities and 89
municipalities, including the whole of Metro Manila and Mega Manila region. It
provides electricity to 6.3 million customers in 36 cities and 75 municipalities in a
franchise area covering 9,685 km2 that includes Metro Manila, the provinces of
Rizal, Cavite, Bulacan and portions of the provinces of Pampanga, Batangas,
Laguna and Quezon (“Power Distribution,” 2016).

Roque

Analysis:

The table displays the survey of toilet facilities in Barangay San Roque for
all households. Based on ocular conducted, there are only households having a
waste-sealed type toilet facility. This provides a healthier and more sanitary toilet
system. However, there are an estimated 1,766 households still without a proper
toilet system. This is especially true for those in depressed areas, which puts their
health at risk.

41
Interpretation:

Environmental factors are the key determinants for differentiating coastal

communities from other types of communities. These factors have a direct bearing
on the options for sanitary means of disposing of human waste for the community.
Sanitation systems, even when they are properly designed, may not be appropriate
when social and cultural factors affecting sanitation and hygienic practices of the
community members are not considered.

Table 4.2 Frequency and Distribution of Garbage Collection and Disposal

Analysis:

Proper collection and Disposable of garbage is one of the major

responsibilities that every Barangay diligently attends to. The Barangay has one
dump truck that regularly collect garbage in each sitio once a week.

Interpretation:

The experiences and practices of household waste management of people

in a barangay (village) in Manila, Philippines are documented. The data were
gathered through an interview with household members using open-ended
questions. Interviews were also conducted with garbage collectors as well as
scavengers. Results showed that the households generated an average of 3.2 kg

42
of solid waste per day, or 0.50 kg/capita/day. The types of wastes commonly
generated are food/kitchen wastes, papers, PET bottles, metals, and cans,
boxes/cartons, glass bottles, cellophane/plastics, and yard/garden wastes. The
respondents segregate their wastes into PET bottles, glass bottles, and other
waste (mixed wastes). No respondents perform composting. It is worth noting,
however, that burning of waste is not done by the respondents. The households
rely on garbage collection by the government. Collection is done twice daily, except
Sundays, and household members bring their garbage when the garbage truck
arrives.

Analysis:

Soil Properties of Barangay San Roque are identified as Antipolo soil and
Antipolo clay which comprise 25 percent and 75 percent of Antipolo’s total land
area, respectively. Antipolo soil is characterized by rough mountain soil covering
hilly grazing grounds while Antipolo Clay is reddish brown in color.

Interpretation:

Municipal activities continuously change soil properties and hydrology yet

direct destructive sampling to monitor these changes is troublesome in urban
areas. Electrical geophysical methods provide the means to investigate
hydrological conditions and subsurface properties without soil disturbance.
Methods of self-potential, electrical profiling, vertical electrical sounding, and non-
contacting electromagnetic profiling were applied to urban soils in Astrakhan’,
Russia, and Kiev, Ukraine. Depth to the groundwater table, salinity of soils and
groundwater, and soil profile organization were estimated with the methods. The
methods ensure quick yet non-destructive estimation of soil and hydrological
conditions in cities assisting with successful restoration and preservation of
municipal constructions.

f. Climate and Rainfall

Analysis:

The table provides data about sports and recreational facilities in Barangay
San Roque. It was being shown that when it comes to sports facilities, basketball
has numerous counts of courts among the others. Data followed by tie number of
volleyball courts and swimming pools and lastly with only two tennis courts. Data
have really shown the enthusiasm of the citizens when it comes to sports and how
they socialize. Meanwhile on the second table the data provided are recreational
facilities within the Barangay. Data determined the progressiveness of the
Barangay for which the movie houses has the highest number among the others.
The rest of the facilities like playground, park, reading center and historical
landmark are tie with only one facility center.

Interpretation:

When community facilities, such as schools and sport and recreation

facilities, are all located near to homes and each other - and ideally within cycling
or walking distance - it enhances opportunities for physical activity, wellbeing,
sports participation, community interaction and social cohesion. The co-location of
sporting facilities and schools within a neighborhood or housing estate, for
instance, will encourage children to walk or cycle to school and for all ages to use
local recreation facilities, including those at schools, out of school hours. This
section highlights the value of making community facilities flexible, shared, mixed-
use and available at many times.

Community facilities are public places where members of a community gather for
recreational, educational, artistic, social or cultural activities. The activities can be
organized, such as amateur sports leagues, or casual, such as children visiting a
playground.

50
Examples of community facilities include:

• Schools
• Neighborhood centers
• Libraries
• Sports centers
• Parks
• Places of worship.

Analysis:

The table above provides data about the total number of weighed children by age
group. Age group includes children from 0-11 months, 1-4 years old, and 5-6 years
old. In the data provided, age groups of 0-11 months has the higher numbers of
weighed children followed by 1-4 years old group and lastly from the group of 5-6
years old. It is clear that the children from the group of 0-11 months children are
actively involved for weighing in the community. Meanwhile there are still 1,312 or
28% unweigh children in the community since the total population of all age group
is 4,746 and the total weighed children is only 3,434 or 72 percent.

52
Interpretation:

Operation Timbang (OPT) Plus is the annual weighing and height measurement of
all preschoolers 0-59 months old or below five years old in a community to identify
and locate the malnourished children. Data generated through OPT Plus are used
for local nutrition action planning, particularly in quantifying the number of
malnourished and identifying who will be given priority interventions in the
community.

Moreover, results of OPT Plus provide information on the nutritional status of the
preschoolers and the community in general, thus, providing information on the
effectiveness of the local nutrition program.

Annually, the National Nutrition Council processes OPT Plus results and generates
a list of nutritionally-at-risk cities/municipalities which are disseminated to
government and non- government organizations so that these areas are given
priority attention in nutrition programming planning and intervention.

Objectives of Operation Timbang (OPT) Plus

The conduct of OPT Plus is intended to generate data for nutritional assessment,
planning, management and evaluation of local nutrition programs.

Specifically, it aims to:

1. locate families with preschoolers whose weights are below or above normal;

2. identify and quantify preschoolers with weights below and above normal needing
immediate assistance;

3. detect growth faltering among infants and preschoolers as early as possible;

4. encourage parents or guardians or caregivers to have their preschoolers

weighed regularly;

53
5. determine priority areas and individuals for local program implementation;

6. provide appropriate health and nutrition services to preschoolers whose weights

fall below normal; and

7. assess the effectiveness of the local nutrition program.

Mechanics of OPT Plus

Target

The most recent population census of the barangay is used in determining total
number of preschoolers to be weighed and measured. If census data are not
available, the total population of the barangay is multiplied by their respective
multiplier or factor assigned to their province to arrive at the estimated number of
preschoolers aged 0-59 months to be weighed and measured.

The OPT Plus Team consists of the Rural Health Midwife, BNS and other members
of the Barangay Council (i.e. Committee Chair on Health and
Nutrition, Sangguniang Kabataan Chairperson), the BHWs, and Day Care Worker
(DCW). The team may be assisted by the purok or mother leaders, other
community leaders or representatives from civic organizations.

Site of weighing

Weighing and measuring of height is conducted at any place convenient to both

the families in the barangay and the OPT Plus Team. It may be held in a barangay
hall, day care center, barangay health station, health and nutrition post, home or
any place easily accessible to the target population.

Analysis:

The table above provides data about numbers of malnourished children per
degree. It shows there that the 1st degree malnourishment has the higher count of
children, followed by 2nd degree and 3rd degree with least amount of children.
Malnourishment is very common in every community especially for those who are
in remote or rural areas. Although the 1st degree has the higher count which is
considered not severe it is still quite a lot.

Interpretation:

According to The Hunger Project, a child dies every 10 seconds due to hunger-
related diseases. 1 in 3 Filipino children below 5 years of age is malnourished due
to extreme poverty and lack of basic health education in parents.

The American Academy of Pediatrics defines malnutrition as “a state in which a

deficiency (or excess) of energy, protein, and other nutrition causes measurable
adverse effects on the body and on growth in children.” Lack of proper nutrition is
the primary cause of malnutrition but there are also other circumstances which
may increase their risk including:

• Poor healthcare conditions

• Undernourishment in lactating mothers
• Unsanitary living conditions
• Malnutrition in the Philippines

Undernutrition is one of the main problems in the Philippines where stunted growth
is quite common in children, specifically for those who are experiencing poor living
conditions. According to UNICEF, 3.6 million Filipino children aged five and below
are underweight while about 4 million suffer from stunted growth. Another health
concern for most of the Filipino population iodine deficiency which has a huge
impact on the learning abilities and intelligence quotient (IQ) of children.

56
Living in a country where undernutrition is considered endemic is proof that most
mothers struggle to provide proper nutrition to their children. Prevention is better
than cure, so always make sure that your child gets his/her daily dose of the
essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, A, D, B, iron, and calcium. Prepare
healthy meals and exercise good hand hygiene at home. Sanitize utensils, drinking
glasses and cookware to avoid food contamination. Discourage your children from
consuming sweets and other processed foods which provide little to no nutritional
value to their diets; you should add healthy and affordable ingredients to your daily
meals.

Promote daily exercise and physical activities in your household to boost your
child’s immune system. Always consult your doctor before letting your child drink
any kind of medication, including vitamins. Take note that nutritional supplements
are not substitutes for prescribed medications and should still be paired with the
right diet and exercise. Take your child to the nearest hospital/clinic that is
equipped with the right staff and medical equipment if you notice signs of
malnutrition.

G. COMMUNICATION RESOURCES

Communication Resource
a. Source of Information

The telephone, whose principal service provider is PLDT, is the most often
used and readily available mode of communication in the community, according to
the data. RCPI and PT&T are two more telecommunications companies that use
radio telegraph and photocopy devices to supply "Peragram" services. In Municipal
Hall, there is a post office. Television, radio, and newspapers are among the other
media outlets in the area. The Rizal Journal is the local newspaper for the
barangay.

57
 The issues of transferring huge amounts of data over long distances without
severe loss due to noise and interference are the focus of modern
telecommunication. The telephone is inexpensive, easy to use, and provides users
with an immediate, personal kind of communication that is also available through
any other means. It has become the community's most extensively utilized
telecommunications device. PLDT is known as the Philippines' cheapest landline
provider. The changing environment of the Philippines' communication, money
transfer, and courier sectors demonstrates this.

Mortality in Brgy. San Roque

Analysis:

The table depicts the top ten major causes of mortality in Barangay San
Roque for all age categories. Cardiovascular diseases, which account for 22
deaths in the barangay, are the main cause of death in all age categories. It is
followed by bronchio-pneumonia-related mortality, which has 16 cases. Chilling is
the third most common case, with 8 cases reported. With 6 occurrences apiece,
septicemia and accidents are tied for the fourth most common cause of death in
the barangay. Cancer, which accounts for 4 cases, is ranked fifth on the list. The
death due to tuberculosis was next, with 2 occurrences documented. There has
been 1 case each for renal failure, peptic ulcer, and febrile convulsion. The total
number of all the accumulated top 10 leading causes of mortality is 67 cases.
Based on the data presented, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of
mortality among all the groups in the barangay, whereas renal failure, peptic ulcer,
and febrile convulsion are all tied for the least cause of mortality among all the
groups in Brgy. San Roque.

59
Interpretation:

Health-related disorders, contagious infections, and even unexpected death

are among the top causes of death in Brgy. San Roque. The primary cause of
death among Filipinos is cardiovascular disease (CVD) (SUP,2018). Alcohol
drinking, smoking, and poor food and nutrition have all been linked to the high rates
of cardiovascular diseases. Chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes
are also risk factors of renal failure, and cancer. Bronchopneumonia, on the other
hand, is a contagious illness that is the most prevalent kind of pneumonia in
children and the greatest cause of infection-related death in children under the age
of five which is 14 percent of the entire population of Brgy. San Roque. Normally,
they are transferred through coughing or sneezing, which creates tiny droplets that
can spread and infect others (WHO, 2019). Accidents are to blame for the
unexpected deaths of certain people of the community since the earth fill type of
road is the most prevalent in barangays (46 percent). The most prevalent cause of
death in children aged 6 months to 6 years (20 percent of the entire population of
Brgy. San Roque) is febrile convulsion, which is a fit or seizure that happens when
they have a high fever and does not generally result in death in normal
circumstances (NINDS, 2015). The community’s environment is also a factor for
other diseases such as tuberculosis, which can easily be transmitted if people are
living closely or in a small space most especially in Barangay San Roque where it
was stated that the population is ‘steadily increasing’, and peptic ulcer that can be
transmitted through vomit and possibly feces (CDC,2020). Unhealthy lifestyle,
unsanitary environment, lack of knowledge regarding precautionary measures and
disease prevention are some of the related factors that cause death to the
community members of Brgy. San Roque.

Figure 7.2 Frequency and Percentage Distribution of Top 10 Leading Causes of

Morbidity in Brgy. San Roque

Analysis:

The table displays the top ten major causes of morbidity in Barangay San
Roque for all age categories. With a total of 1,073 cases, upper respiratory tract
infection (URTI) is the top cause of morbidity among all groups in the barangay. It
is followed by influenza-related mortality, which has 430 cases. Malaria is the third
most common cause of sickness, with 259 cases documented. With 226
occurrences, musculoskeletal disorder is the fourth main cause of disease in the
barangay. Dermatological disorder, which accounts for 207 occurrences, is ranked
fifth on the list. It was followed by headache, which had 188 cases reported.
Parasitism is the sixth leading cause of morbidity, accounting for 156 cases.
Bronchitis is ranked eighth on the list, with a total of 137 cases reported. The ninth
most common reason is abdominal pain, which has been recorded 101 times, and
the tenth most common cause is diarrhea, which has been reported 87 times. As
a conclusion based on the data presented, the number one cause of morbidity

62
among all the groups in barangay is due to upper respiratory tract infection and
diarrhea as the least cause of morbidity among all the groups in Brgy. San Roque.

Interpretation:

The leading causes of morbidity of Brgy. San Roque varies widely from
sneezing and coughing, contaminated food and water and air pollution. Upper
respiratory tract infection and influenza can be transmitted via close contact and
respiratory droplets such as sneezing and coughing. Since these two are the top
2 leading causes, it is a possibility that the community members lack some
knowledge on preventive measures. Unhealthy lifestyle is also a factor that leads
to acquiring of disease such as bronchitis that can be due to tobacco and air
pollution brought about by the industrial infrastructures which is the fifth in land use
category (6.47), lack of exercise and incorrect posture that leads to
musculoskeletal problems and alcohol consumption and other related factors
causes headache. Unsanitary environment also causes diseases like diarrhea and
parasitism due to contaminated water, contaminated food, eating raw food,
contaminated soil and blood; and malaria which is caused by mosquito bites
because of stagnant water and unclean environment. These diseases could be
alleviated if not eradicated if the community members would focus on improving
their lifestyle/ health habits and ensuring that their environment is sanitary at all
times (CDC, 2018).

Barangay Peace and Order Committee (BPOC), which has the primary task of
ensuring that peace and order prevail in the barangay.

Peace and order in local communities translates to a sense of shared feeling

of security among the citizens. People who have this sense of security are more
likely to participate in community activities that aim to improve the livelihood and
well-being of all. In the sense the maintenance of peace and order is part of the
genuine, community- based development. (Riles 2013).
