CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Barangay 421, zone 43, district IV is a community located at the heart of urban

Manila. It is a few blocks away from the LRT 2 station. The barangay is led by Francisco

Manahan and regularly receives health services from the Manila health department which

provides basic vaccines. The Manila Health Department has also established a

community health center for the residents of the barangay. The community is in an urban

setting and is surrounded by industrial establishments like the San Miguel warehouse,

and the CLYK commercial office building. The Philippine National Railway and the

LRT 2 are located a few blocks away from the community. The primary method of

transportation in the community is by tricycles and jeepneys. Some families have their

own private vehicles. Squalor and pollution is evident because of the community’s urban

and industrial settings. There are a few private preschools found in the area. There is also

a basketball ring used by residents for entertainment but it is placed in the middle of a

street.

On July, 2011, the University of Santo Tomas Medical Technology Interns

conducted an interview in the area. The interview was done to gather essential data about

the community. As of July 2011 there are 77 males for every 100 females in the said

community, there is also a high number of middle aged people in the barangay. Most of

the working age people who live in the area are single and earns more than 19,000 pesos

per month. The occupations are generally mixed, but most occupations generally fall into

the blue collar bracket. The education background of the community is poor as more than

half of the population did not finish college. Majority of the population is Roman



Catholic. The survey also shows that most of the population has lived in the barangay for

more than 10 years and their province of origin is generally from the island of Luzon.

The materials used to build the houses in barangay 421 are generally mixed of

light and strong materials but ventilation is quite adequate; also, most of the people who

live in the community say that they are renting the house that they live in. Water supply is

not much of a problem; Maynilad is in charge of water distribution in the area. Garbage

collection is managed by the City government and occurs every week.

The community generally has a level II excreta disposal system. Majority of the

families in the community has refrigerators used for food storage. Mothers were also

interviewed in their practice of infant feeding, majority of the babies were not breastfed

but were given powdered milk. Six children below 1 year old were involved in the survey

and out of the six children in the survey only one was fully immunized by the community

health center.

Most residents of barangay 421 go to hospitals to seek medical treatment but

majority of the health information is received from the health center.

2.1.7 SUMMARY OF FACTORS AFFECTING HEALTH STATUS/ HEALTH

SERVICES; INTERRELATIONSHIP OF FACTORS DESCRIBED IN

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

Age is a major factor when comes to acquiring non-communicable diseases. With

the majority of the population ranging between 20 and 39, the community is at greater

risk of acquiring work related illnesses as compared to genetic ones. The people in the

area appear to be earning sufficiently for basic needs as well as proper health care.

Conflict of interest are of little concern when it comes to culture and religion as majority

of the population have been staying in the area for more than 10 years and are Roman

Catholics therefore there should be little problem in implementing projects due to cultural

or religious beliefs. With 53.7% of the houses found in the area made of mixed light and

strong materials while 25.9% show inadequate ventilation, the risk of airborne and

droplet transmitted infections are increased. There should little problems sanitation-wise

as 100% of the garbage are collected daily and disposed properly, water supply is assured



by Maynilad, and all households have toilets. 72% of households have refrigerators while

there are sufficient stores in the Barangay for easy access of food when food storage is

impossible.

2.3 PROBLEM ANALYSIS

2.3.1 IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS

The barangay’s leading causes of morbidity include upper respiratory tract

infections. A factor to this illness that can be seen here includes the inadequacy of

ventilation per household due to the crowding seen. Several households in the community

comprises of college students whom rent apartments in the area most of this boarders

come in groups of more than 5 sharing the space. As well as the students, the adults



commute outside the area to their workplaces due to lack of local jobs. This results to the

increased amount of jeeps that are seen parked around the community. Having to

commute to school or work every day increased stress in the part of the people as well as

human contact which increases susceptibility of the people in transmitting this droplet

and airborne infections. Another possible way of transmitting upper respiratory infections

includes the sharing of food, water, and utensils, and is possibly avoided by using serving

spoons.

The second leading illness in the area is hypertension. This is a non-

communicable disease usually obtained by the elderly. Known as the “silent killer,”

hypertension should be a community concern as it is a significant risk factor for several

other fatal conditions such as stroke and heart problems. A key factor to hypertension is

age; but with a population of young adults, the more probable factors to cause this illness

are obesity, stress, alcohol intake, and smoking. Obesity is common in well-off

communities due to abundance of food and overindulgence. Stress can easily be

associated to the fact that several adults in the community high stress jobs including

statisticians, businessmen, call center agents, etc. Smoking and alcohol is simply

common vices which can be found in the country especially fitting in the Filipino

lifestyle. Although there are many medicines used to lower a person’s blood pressure, the

proper lifestyle change is the most essential part in maintaining a healthy blood pressure.

Awareness of the proper actions and regular consultations with the physician is the best

way of avoiding any complications that are caused by this condition.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is another leading illness in the community. Being a

common disease in third world countries, the Philippines is certainly not an exception to

transmitting the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. PTB has the same risk factors as



upper respiratory tract infections which include talking, sneezing, coughing, and the

sharing of food. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a more serious case as it is sometimes caused

by a drug resistant strain of bacteria and is very infectious.
