OCULAR VISIT
Brief History of Coryville, Barangay La Paz, Makati City
It was almost 60 years ago when this part of Makati was opened by the Ayala
Corporation as its first post war residential subdivision. It used to be part of Barrio Tejeros
carved out of rice land, water lilies, kangkong, talahib and other swamp undergrowth.
But even for those who start a new home they can truly call their own, it was a good
enough place to live in. By May 1949, no more than five families have built their modern
homes.
To give us a clearer picture of the marginalized community named Coryville, we
conducted an interview with Hon. Ferdinand Concepcion, Barangay Captain of
Barangay La Paz.

Interview: Coryville
Kangkungan ang Coryville dati ngunit nasunog siya.Yun ang isa sa
mga pinakamalaking sunog na nangyari sa Makati. Kaya naging Coryville kasi si
Cory aquino ang presidente noong mga panahong iyon. Nakiusap ang mga
residente na ibigay na lang ang lupa sakanila na pagmamay-ari ng SAN
DIEGO. Tapos, inaward sa kanila something like 1986. Ipinasok sa parang
housing project and then pinangalan kay Cory kaya Coryville

EDUCATION
Interview: Education
Di ko masasabi pero mostly naman ay nag-aaral mula gradeschool
hanggang HS pero tumitigil kahit na libre ang pag-aaral dahil walang pambaon
ang kanilang mga magulang para sakanila/walang pangsuporta. Meron akong
pinapaaral na dating tambay sa parking lot, pinasok ko siya sa ALS yung iba
naman di na rin tumuloy at pinili na lang na manatili sa bahay.

HEALTH AND NUTRITION

Interview: Health and Nutrition
Percentage of malnutrition ay bumaba na dati ay 14%. May mga
feeding program kami dito sa center and ang NGO ay lumalapit rin samin para
sa kalusugan ng mga bata. Pero para sakin ang solusyon ay yung sa magulang,
yung paggawa nila sa pagkain kasi minsan yung iba prito lang pero di nila alam
meron namang mga gulay na pwedeng ilagay para maging masustansya yung
pagkain
Sa kaso naman ng drug abuse, nahuli na namin yung parang main drug
pusher pero meron pa rin nagsusulpot sulpot kasi boundary lang kami ng Manila
eh. Kaya minsan kapag pupunta kami dun para magmonitor nakatago agad
kasi merong nagiinform sakanila. Kaya nagpaCCTV kami para lalong
mamonitor pero sinisira pa rin nila

Interview: Rights of Children

Dyan ako nasakit ang ulo kasi minsan inaabuso na ng mga kabataan
yung rights nila. Naaavail nila yung rights nila pero sobrang inaabuso na nila kasi
kita mo ngayon sila na gumagawa ng krimen, etc. Yung sa rights naman ng
babae, tambay minsan. Malaki yung community mga 1000 square meters ata
yun eh. Kadalasan early pregnancy nangyayari lalo na kasi hindi nakakapagaral lalo na yung patambay tambay. Although may program kami dito sa
center at mga seminar na ipinaparealize namin na hindi muna masarap magasawa. Dyan sa Coryville madaming hiwalay. Minsan maanakan lang then
konting away tapos maghihiwalay na. Hindi naman nila pinapalaglag yung
bata. Mostly nagpapacheck dito sa center kasi libre naman yung pang-ospital
Hinihikayat naman namin sila mag-aral. Mostly sa magulang muna kami
nagaapproach pero parang ayaw nila. Saka ngayon minumura na ng bata
yung mga magulang.

OTHER DATA
Interview: Crime Rate
Bumaba compared nung dati. Ang crime rate ay nanggaling sa labas.
Mostly away ang nangyayari, yabangan etc. Pero ngayon mga dayo na lang
yung crimes. Prineprevent namin yun sa paggamit ng madaming CCTV para
mamonitor yung mga krimen. Kaya siguro sila natatakot na. Nung kailan lang
yung sa Manila, samin nanggaling yung footage nun kaya nahuli namin dito
and then tinurnover na lang namin sakanila.
Interview: Community Issues
Ang pinakaissue dun sa community na kailangan iresolve ay yung sa
drugs. Yung bibili ng drugs sa labas tapos ipapasok dun and then ibebenta or
gagamitin. Pero ngayon minimize na rin kasi nakikita namin sa CCTV kasi pag
nakagamit na di na natutulog kaya minsan pinapatawag ko and kinakausap
ko.
Interview: Cases of Children doing Crimes
Kadalasan kasi andyan yung magulang eh. Huhulihin namin tapos
bibigyan lang ng birth certificate sa DSWD tapos makakalabas na tapos sa
counselling hindi naman pumupunta kaya wala rin kaya minsan sinasabi namin
na hihintayin na lang namin magdisiotso ka. Kaya minsan kami yung inaabot
ng asunto kasi nagrereklamo sila na sinaktan daw kapag hinuhuli kaya minsan

pinapamirma namin yung magulang na sila naghikayat na hulihin namin yung

anak nila kasi di nila binabantayan ng maayos
Interview: Access of Coryville
Mostly ng employees ko tagadoon eh kaya minsan kami pumupunta
doon. Tapos yung iba pang tao ayaw pumunta dito para sa libreng gamot.
Libre na nga ayaw pa i-avail. Saka kung kailan magkakasakit parang dun lang
ipapavaccine yung mga anak nila. Yung sa dengue kanina nagclean-up drive
kami sa community kasi umaakyat na yung rate. Parang wala silang pake
parang gusto nila kami pa maglinis nung bahay nila. Kaya inalok na lang namin
sila nung powder na sila na lang maglagay next time

Interview: Sanitation, Health cases

Mostly Tubercolosis ang nadedevelop na sakit doon. Isipin mo libre na
yung gamot pupunta lang sila sa center pero ang lumalabas kami pa yung

pumunta pero iniisip ko na lang baka ako yung maputukan kasi baka sabihin na
bakit di ko pinupuntahan yung community na yun, etc. Mostly kasi nahihiya
pumunta sa center para kumuha ng gamot kaya namamatay na lang yung
ibang may malubhang sakit.

Interview: Livelihood
Fishball fishball ganun. Nagbibigay ng
puhunan na walang tubo para yung mga tao dun

Hon. Ferdie giving his answers.
ang mga officers dun hindi strict.
Nagsisilabasan lang sila kapag may biyaya. Kaya minsan pag may program
kami dito sa center about example yung kung paano magluto ng
masusustansiyang pagkain, ang hirap maginvite kasi wala silang makukuha na
pera or something. Kaya iniisip nila na parang sayang lang sa oras yun
manonood na lang ako ng Aldub. Pero kapag may biyaya kunwari may 500 na
ipapamigay dun dadagsain kami dito.

ASSESSMENT
What are the capacity and vulnerability of the
community?
Junica:
The community in Coryville at Barangay La Paz is capable of many things.
One of this is that the population of the people living there is big. With a big
population, they can start a progressive change if only they put their hearts into
molding a new and brighter future. We have learned about the many projects
and opportunities that their local officials is trying to pursue. We can say that if
they implement these projects properly and all of the people in Coryville would
actively participate then they would create a better community.
When it comes to vulnerability, the number one weakness would be
poverty. Their community is not getting any better because of the unending
hunger, malnutrition, unemployment and illiteracy of the people.
Jeanne:
Coryville may be considered as a marginalized community, but it is
capable of many things. If only they use the benefits from the local officials, they
can start a change in their lives. They should cooperate with the barangay
officials because they want nothing but good for them. But poverty swallows
that dream of change; hunger, malnutrition, unemployment, and broken
relationships of different families; because I believe that change starts with your
family.
Edsel:
Coryville community has many strengths and weaknesses as a community
though considered marginalized by many. One of its weaknesses is the laziness
of its people to participate in the programs of their barangay for their welfare.
Another is the lack of leadership in their association to implement rules and
policies for their people. But the community is capable of change because of
the potential of its people to make the change and be the start of something
new. They just need a little push and for their leaders to be more strict.
Hillary:
In line with the interview we had with Hon. Concepcion, I personally
believe that Coryville, being a marginalized community, has still a chance to
change. Its very difficult for a community with a growing number of children to
somehow deal with the rapid run of the economy. But, having this state of

difficulty to handle day-to-day life is not a hindrance for them to rise us a

community and to sail against the big currents. As I could see, people in
Coryville just lack the determination and awareness of the things that are now
leaving them behind. Projects implemented by their local government are not
enough to give them a drive instead, the local government shall do an even
and proper dissemination of information in a way that these people will be
encourage to join and take part with the programs of the local government.
Sheen:
The community of Coryville has been vulnerable in terms of their
population growth and lack of jobs that can sustain their living. People from
there strive to maintain their population, causing more problems such as lack of
quality education, child labor and malnutrition.
Jubelene:
The capacity of the community is that it has several seminars that assist its
people in addressing the recurring problems in their community. However, the
people of Coryville seem to lack concern about these seminars and it is often
neglected, resulting to more problems in the community.
Ronald:
The capacity of the community is that they can still have developments
because of the availability of the resources. The community has the diminished
capacity or vulnerability to anticipate, cope with, resist and recover from the
impact of the recurring issue.

What are the issues confronting the community?

Junica:
As stated above, the issues confronting the community are; hunger,
malnutrition, unemployment and illiteracy caused by lack of education.
Jeanne:
Malnutrition, unemployment, illiteracy, growing population due to early
pregnancies.
Edsel:
The issues confronting the community are malnutrition, drug addiction,
unemployment and the lack of education of the youth.

Hillary:
The issues confronting Coryville are alarming number of unemployed,
illiteracy caused by lack of education of the youth, malnutrition and unwanted
pregnancies of women at an early age.
Sheen:
Rapid population growth means more mouths to feed. The youth
comprises a large part in their community and due to the hardships in life
caused by poverty, they tend to do whatever it takes to be able to sustain their
family's need even when involves doing bad things, thus increasing the
community's crime rate.
Jubelene:
Some issues that are confronting the community of Coryville are
malnutrition, out of school youth, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse.
Ronald:
The issues are the number of out of school youth / tambays and
malnutrition.

Based on the interviews and walk, what concerns

recurring and what are new?
Junica:
Almost all of these concerns are not new. They have been a problem of
the country, of almost every community in the Philippines since long ago. There
are not enough houses for people to live in. Wood houses are built side by side
which can cause maximum damage if ever a fire accident occurred. There are
many tambays in the community because of unemployment. Children are
committing crimes at such an early age. Cases of drug usage and robbery is still
continuing.
Jeanne:
Drug issues are recurring; they would stop pushing or using drugs
whenever the barangay officials raided their community but as time goes by,
they would do it again; and this time, they planned to have a watchman that
serves as an alarm when officials will raid their community again. Actually, all of
the problems stated above are recurring and therefore, becoming worse.

Edsel:
Most of the concerns where pertaining to the use of drugs inside the
community. Although the "main man" was already caught, they are still others
who buy outside of the community then sell it inside. All problems are recurring
but the barangay officials are doing its best to avoid and halt these concerns.
Hillary:
Concerns with regards to this community are never new to us. Those are
just normal for the current state of our country. Concerns such as
unemployment, early pregnancies and such are evident even on the wider
scope. All have been a talk of the town but there were little improvements to
those cases. Government has been acting slowly to resolve these alarming
concerns. On the other hand, the issue of drug use of the people in Coryville is
recurring. People there are pretty much aware if there is a watchman ahead
and they could easily act upon it as if everythings in a normal state.
Sheen:
Based on the interview we conducted, teenage pregnancy seems to be
the problem that local officials find it hard to restrain. Dozens of young people
gives birth at an early age and it continues to be the prevailing problem in the
community.
Jubelene:
The problem of malnutrition is recurring given that the percentage of it
was lessened before. And the problem of possession of illegal drugs is a new
problem.
Ronald:
A recurring concern is about the reduction of the malnutrition percentage
among children in the community and about the effective utilization of the
volunteers as a factor in helping the parents to care for their children.

Why do you think those issues you mentioned are

happening in the community?
Junica:
It is a half-half fault. 50% of it is caused by improper governance and 50%
is irresponsibility of the citizens. We dont want to put all the blame on the
government. Even with a full, coordinate governance, if people are not
responsible enough for their own actions then a proper government would be of
no advantage.

Jeanne:
I think the barangay officials need to double their efforts to have the
problems under their control and the citizens of the community must cooperate
with them also. And, the people of CoryVille should not always depend on the
barangay officials, they, too, must move to start a change in their lives.
Edsel:
I think those issues are happening in the community because of the lack
of leadership. The officals should put more effort in organizing and controlling
their people but I also think that the people should cooperate to fix these issues.
Hillary:
Looking at a two perspective: local government and the people, it could
be because of the shortcomings of the local government but it could also be
due to the lack of cooperation and the responsibility of the residents. Were not
putting all the blame on the local government because I know that theyre
doing their part as the officials entrusted by the people. On the other hand,
people shall take part and be responsible enough to resolve the issues of their
own community.
Sheen:
Those problems keep on happening because of lack of discipline and
irresponsibility of the youth. They just depend on the local officials and in our
government to improve their living condition and not act on their own to help
themselves.
Jubelene:
I think these issues are happening in the community because most of the
people have nothing to do, especially the out of school youth. Due to this, they
become involved in drugs and pre-marital sex resulting to teenage pregnancy.
Ronald:
There are lots of issues happening in the community but the main conflict
is in the problem of malnutrition.

What possible solutions can the local government do

to address these issues?
Junica:
Offer the community a better service and never stop on encouraging
the people to do something good for themselves and the community.

Jeanne:
As what I have said, they need to double their efforts and encourage the
people of CoryVille to change for the better.
Edsel:
The local government should be strict in implementing their rules and
policies in the community and encourage the people to participate to make
Coryville a better community.
Hillary:
It has something to do with the proper and regular dissemination of the
program and/or projects of the local government. If theres a proper
dissemination, then all else follows. And also, there should be a continuous
monitoring and assessing of the community in order for the local government to
execute
services
to
be
handed
to
the
people
in
Coryville.
Sheen:
There is an urgent need to enhance government's programs. This entails
revisiting and studying the poverty framework to form a strategy that would
result to easier access of the people addressing their vulnerability. Allocating
also funds from the government's budget and raising money from the other
sectors of economy could help fight the poverty.
Jubelene:
One possible solution that the local government can do to address these
issues is by proper dissemination of information to the community regarding the
several seminars, free health checkups and free medicines they have for their
community.
Ronald:
The local can solve this by sustaining global commitment, devoting funds
to nutrition programs, aligning other sectors with nutrition goals.

As a group, what possible solutions can you do?

We can help implement and support the local government and nongovernment programs and/or projects to help the people of Coryville in building
a better, brighter future ahead them. By means of lending and extending our
hand, we could, at least, try to encourage people to join and participate in their
community welfare programs.

Is there an issue that has been touched by the UNIK

seminar and how did the speakers addressed them?
Junica:
One of the issues would probably be about education. We believe that
education is the key to our goals. It is the key to attain a better future. If we start
educating the people of Coryville and if we help all the children living there to
be able to attend school then somehow we are one step in helping them face
the continuing issues of their community.
Jeanne:
Poverty. As far as I can remember, a speaker proudly showed us their
projects about livelihood for people who cant afford basic necessities every
day. The project became the peoples hope for a better future.
Edsel:
Education and poverty is the main issue about the community that has
been touched by the UNIK seminar. If we treat these issues seriously we can
prevent it and fix it immediately. We just need to cooperate as one and be as
one in solving these issues for Coryville to be better as a community
Hillary:
One issue touched by the UNIK Seminar was about education. Without
education, there is a great chance that all will be ignorant of worldly matters.
Those alarming issues will never matter simply because we dont have enough
awareness and knowledge about it. Because education has been the primary
key of knowledge, we are able to comprehend things around us but we lack
the interpretation of it. How are we going to be responsible enough if we dont
value education? Through educating people, we are a step nearer to change,
if not to the greater extent, but at least, weve moved a block closer.
Sheen:
One of the speakers in UNIK Seminar named Grace Santos discussed the
issue of poverty and helped me reflect on the community walk we conducted.
She said that poverty is a wicked problem and we need to find new ways of
working together to move people out of poverty. According to her, there are a
lot of organizations doing their best to improve the life of people in marginalized
areas through social innovation.

Jubelene:
Yes, some of the issues have been touched by the UNIK seminar. Ms.
Grace Santos, one of the speakers from UNIID-SEA, talked about how UNIID-SEA
uses social innovation to address each problem.
Ronald:
I think the issue that has been touched by the UNIK Seminar is the right to
vote. The people must know how to vote wisely for greater improvements in our
country.

A. General Information:
Project Title:

Buy, Eat, Live Healthy

Target Community/Beneficiaries: Mothers

/ Parents of Coryville, out of school

youth (ages 15-20)

Community Background:

Coryville is a place which can be considered marginalized.

Even though it is somehow populous, mostly of the youth are
studying in elementary and high school. However, due to the
lack of financial matters, some stop studying even if there is
free education offered in Coryville. And because of this, there
are many out of school youth / tambays in Coryville.
Coryville had several feeding programs before to address the
problem of malnutrition. Some NGOs even went to Coryville to
check the health of the children. Despite these efforts from the
local government of Coryville, only a small percentage of
malnutrition was reduced.

And so, we suggest the project Buy, Eat, Live Healthy. This
project is a monthly seminar that will enable the mothers and
parents in Coryville to attain relevant knowledge about health
and proper nutrition. Every month, we propose to have a
seminar that will teach the people in Coryville what to buy and
how to prepare healthy foods for the children. Hence, it will
address the problem of malnutrition in Coryville. The problem
about the out of school youth / tambays will be address by
the project by asking these out of school youth / tambay, to
help and volunteer in the said project. Therefore, the out of
school youth / tambay will also be enlightened about proper
nutrition and will be given activities every month to keep them

busy. Perhaps in this way, the number of people who loiters in

the streets will be lessened.
B. Objectives:
General Objective:

To reduce the percentage of malnutrition among

children in Coryville
To effectively utilize the knowledge of the volunteers as a
factor in helping the parents from Coryville to learn
Specific Objective:

To provide mothers and parents in Coryville with relevant

information regarding health and proper nutrition for
their children
To assist the mothers and parents in Coryville in learning
how to effectively apply the health and nutrition
information in buying and preparing more healthy foods
for their children
To teach the parents in Coryville how to assess changes
in their childs health
To recruit a group of out of school youth from Coryville,
to become volunteers to the said project

REFLECTION
Community development is generally considered to be a core competent of
social work practice and knowledge. We reflect on the responsibilities we have
within our work, which has social change as its end goal.
Upon visiting the community of Coryville in the city of Makati, it gave us a
clearer picture of the big problem our country has been facing right now. I have
seen with my own naked eyes why Philippines is experiencing a widespread
poverty. Based on our observations, it is clear that Coryville belonged in a
marginalized sector of our country, but it does not mean that their local officials
aren't doing anything to improve their condition. Through our community walk,
we can say that their barangay has adequate facilities and good access that
can sustain their living. The only problem we have seen was the rapid
population growth of the people living there. You can see crowds of young
people who are victims of teenage pregnancy. A much more restriction and
discipline are needed by the youth and they must act to help themselves so
that they might be able to improve the living conditions of their community.
The possible challenges that we might encounter in the formulation of our
CDP is the participation of the people in our plans and how will they react to it.
Because for our CDP to work, we need the community to cooperate and
another problem that we might face is our lack of knowledge of the community.
We should know how to interact to them and how to get their attention so that
we can discuss and implement our proposed project for them and for their
welfare. The possible outcome of our proposed project is that the parents from
the Coryville will learn how to prepare a healthier food plan for their family. And
this will be very helpful to attain the objective of lessening the percentage rate
of malnutrition in Coryville. The difficulty we had encountered in the preparation
of our CDP for the community is that there are several problems in the
community and we have to choose which one should be solved now.
Poverty and inequality in the Philippines remains a challenge. Although
difficult, poverty may still be solved and thus we must act quickly to solve this
problem. One way is conducting a lot of community development, which helps
students to see the perspective of the people belonging in the marginalized
sector of our country and awaken us to serve more in our country.
