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