ANALYSIS

After studying 256 households from Purok 1-4 of Barangay Buclad

Asuncion, Davao del Norte. 14.45 % has a monthly income of 1001-2000 php,

13.67 % has 10000 php or above, 12.5 % has 2001-3000 php, 11.72 % has

4001-5000 php, 11.33 %has 50001- 7000 php, 10.55 % has 7001- 10000 php,

another 10.55 % has 3001-4000 php, 6.25% has 1000 php or below and 8.98 %

IMPLICATION

To live decently to sustain the needs of the members of the family, a

household should have a good income. This is a very crucial factor in building

and maintaining a healthy community. On the other hand, a monthly income of

6250 php can’t be considered sufficient to sustain a family of six.

As of 2006, poverty incidence in the Philippines is 40% of its population and

15.3 million Filipinos wake up without food in their table every morning. And an

average man would need 209 php a day to meet his needs (International Labour

Organization).

The gathered data on the assessed residents implies that half of the people

have an income lower than the minimum monthly income that a household

18
should have to sustain for a living.

RECOMMENDATION

1. The local government of Asuncion should organize more income generating

project s or campaigns to compensate the masses needs for additional income.

28
 12.89% weaned their children and gave them milo or cerelac.

and only 15.23% resorted to lanot.

IMPLICATION:

Weaning is the process of introducing a baby to solid after being totally

dependent on breastmilk for their nutritional need of the first six months of life.

From an average weight of 3 kilos at birth’s weight increases almost to 5 kilos, at

the end of 3 months. In fact, from birth to 1 year is the time of fastest growth for

the baby. Milk alone cannot fully meet the baby’s needs and sustain this rapid

rate of growth,(www.greatoffers4u.com/article)

Recommendation:

1. Encourage mothers to start giving solid foods, to babes when they are around

six months old, while maintaining breastfeeding.

2. Introduce of small amount of pureed fruits and vegetable and gradually build

up to larger amounts of more solid food.

3. Mix solid food with breastmilk or formula milk.

simulate overfire conditions. Unprotected ceilings at 457 mm (18 in.) clearance

60
met code recommended temperature rise limits for normal operation, but

protection was needed for overfire exposures. Some protected walls allowed for

clearance reductions to 76 mm (3 in.) for all exposures, while others needed at

least 304 mm (12 in.) for normal and 457 mm (18 in.) for overfire exposures.

their source of light.

 Out of 256 residents assessed, 2.73% of the population use petromax as

their source of light.

their source of light.

 Out of 256 residents assessed, 57.81% of the population use generators

as their source of light.

ANALYSIS:

In the data presented, out of 256 total number of households assessed in

the community in Buclad, 4.30% of them uses battery as their source of light,

2.73% use petromax as their source of light and majority of the residents use

lamps, 1.95% of the population use candles and the remaining 1.56% use

generator as their source of light.

IMPLICATION:

This implies that the majority of the population uses lamps as their source of

their light. It shows that there are only few who use electricity because it is more

expensive than the lamp. Most the houses are made of nipa or woods. If

residents are not careful enough in using lamps, it may cause an accident

because it is considered as fire hazard. Using kerosene is at risk for fire because

it may explode if the user doesn’t know how to handle or use it.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. The community should be aware on the safety precautions in using the

lamp, the petromax and candles.

2. The government officials of Buclad should coordinate with the barangay

officials to identify those areas without electricity and formulate a

63
contingency plan for those affected areas.

3. Encourage the parents of that community to provide adequate lighting for

their students where they can study well.

SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE

By: BSN3, 2009

Every journey has its distinct way of coming to an end. Our Community

108
Organizing Participatory Action Research (COPAR) exposure at Purok 1-4, Brgy.

Buclad, Asuncion, Davao del Norte – one of the SMC’s community extension

programs had reached its completion and marked the beginning of a realization

transformation.

Our journey with the residents of Brgy. Buclad will always be engraved in our

hearts. The whole experience was challenging, enlightening and educational.

We went through difficulties during the entire process but we learned a lot in

terms of going out of our comfort zones and be immersed and be witnesses of

the plight of the poor especially those who are materially and financially deprived.

We did experience how difficult it is to walk long distances under the

scorching heat of the sun as we made our visits and interviews from house to

house. But in spite of these, we found the experience very fulfilling and

meaningful.

The warm welcome of most of the residents of Brgy. Buclad was very

evident when we interacted with them as evidenced by their attentiveness,

eagerness and cooperation.

Our hearts were touched by their hospitability as they welcome us to their

humble doorsteps.

As we established rapport with the community residents, we were motivated

to give our best efforts in extending our health care assistance and services.

Despite of the difficulties we had encountered, we remained determined to

give the community residents the health care they need and they deserve.

At the end of our exposure, it was very overwhelming and satisfying knowing

109
that we helped a lot of people and we received a lot of warm “thank you” from the

community residents.
