Analysis
The occupations of the member of the community in Brgy. Sabang,
Naic, Cavite was commonly being a store owner, a driver, a farmer,
jueteng kubrador, and OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker). These are type of
occupation that is in demand like being an OFW and a store owner and
because of the resources that can be seen around the community which
are being a driver, a farmer and jueteng kubrador. Occupations like this
types suggest that the families are not capable of giving a possible
healthy life to the whole members. There would be Lack of social,
physical, emotional and spiritual development other than health.
We can say that all of the families have a source of income. We can
see that they have a monthly income. Based from the life and crisis going
on in this country, we can say that the income is not enough. They are
having a hard time in trying to budget the money for their daily lives.
Therefore they have less funds of their health. We also see that some of
them have a poor foundation in houses. It is also because of the low
monthly income. They cannot afford to have repairs because of the low
income. Their budget for food will also be affected because of the low
income. They could be trying to conserve food because of the price hikes
and more. Schooling is also affected because of the low income. Since
they have a low income, it is very hard to budget their money for their
daily expenses.
We have categorized the houses into 4 types. Strong types, are
those made of concrete, is one of the common types in the community.
Basically, houses in the community during our stay were really made of
concrete. This is a fact that in rural areas, houses are made of concrete
types already. It is a sign of modernization in the community and also rise
of economical state. Also during our stay I have observed the presence of
a subdivision in the vicinity of the community. Light houses, the most
common on rural areas since time, are still present in the area. The
population and number of these houses which is equal to number of
strong houses is a sign that this rural community are still in the stage of
development. Also it is a sign that Filipino families in the area are not yet
in, terms of financial status, unable to finance and members of the
Filipinos with jobs in the agricultural sector. Mixed types are those of
combination of concrete walls with nipa or not strong roofs; or a
combination of the two types of houses, described above. These types of
houses are now the most common types in rural areas around the
country. This is because families now prefer the stability and
characteristics of concrete houses but is still not able to provide good
roofs or good windows and doors for their houses. Also some concrete
walled houses are in combination with wood-made walls or metal roofs
still in combination with nipa types.
Ventilation is one of the most needed to be observed in houses
because it facilitates respiration and circulation of the human body. Also it
is a factor for health condition. Ventilation dictates the condition if the
house is good for dwelling or not. Absence of ventilation contributes to
poor quality for health. Based on the data expressed, there are better
ventilated houses than those of poor ventilated ones. This is a great sign
that the community can have a good quality of living. Families will live in
good condition.
Houses that we have handled in the community are mostly owned.
This is very common in rural areas, where lands are already owned by the
community dwellers, either inherited or bought. That is why most of the
houses are already owned by the family. Also some of the houses are
rented because some of the families are those that were migrates in the
community. Also families that have rented houses are those new families
who have separated with their extended families within the area. Another
type is that houses were some families live is care taken by the family
from a boss or a family member who owns the land. This categorization of
ownership defines how long this community has already been present. As
analyzed, all of the houses we have observed have good light source. Also
the availability of electricity in the community shows that the community
itself is in good development and services and public utilities are soon
available to the whole people. Presence of these two sources is an
advantage to a family. Housing, then in this community is considered to
be safe, as they are in good terms and are met in Maslow’s 2 nd need of
Security
Through the following analyzed graphs we have seen the socio-
economic side of Barangay Sabang. We have described the community as
a still developing community. Based on status, the population do not
really have the much level of education yet they thrive to survive through
the presence of almost honest jobs. This type of status in employment
defines a family’s capability to provide a healthy life to the family. This is
very same to the types of houses that the families own. Overall, we say
that this community as before, is in the status of development. Mainly,
because economic wise jobs are vocational and income is not that high.
