The table shows that there are 15% (12 families) are composed of 1 to

families) are composed of 5 to 6 members, and 19 % (15 families) are composed of 7 or

more members.

The family size is greatly affected by economic status. Because of the high cost of

living, people choose to have fewer or less number of children that is applicable to their

income and financial capacities. The fewer the family members, the better for them,

because they can sustain individual needs like education.

The family size is also affected by the physiological capabilities of the parents.

Inadequate living space and the status of unemployment will hinder the growth of the

family size.
 The family size of 5 to 6 members has the highest percentage in the data collected

gathering 35 percent. The next family size is that composing of 3 to 4 members with 31

percent, family size with 7 or more members with 19 percent, and last, family size with 1

The table shows that 19.23% (15 families) has been living for not more than 5

years in Pandacan. A portion of 21.79% (17 families) has been living in Pandacan for not

more than 10 years but not less than 6 years. About 5.13% (4 families) has been already

living in Pandacan for more than 11 years but not more than 15 years. A fraction of

17.95% (14 families) has been living in Pandacan for not more than 20 years but not less

than 16 years. 7.69% (6 families) are living in Pandacan for not more than 25 years but

not less than 21 years. 7.69 (6 families) are living for not more than 30 years but not less

than 26 years in Pandacan. 20.51% (16 families) are living in Pandacan for more than 30

years.

Length of residency is affected by several factors like Income and Family size and

time. If the family income is small, it will be harder for them to transfer to a better place.

Those families that are well settled in Pandacan are contented with what they have.
Transferring from one house to another is a big problem. Big appliances and furniture are

very hard to move to another place that’s why it is better to stay in 1 place than to move

The family size can also affect the family’s capability to move to a better home

with good environment. Time is also essential in moving. It is very time-consuming. The

availability of a new place is also quite a factor.

Table 3: Frequency Distribution of the Family Structure

Figure 3: Different Types Of Family Structure

The table on Family shows that 70.51% (55 Families) has a nuclear type of

family. A fraction of 24.36% (19 families) is extended. A portion of 3.85% (3 families) is

Matriarchal type, and 1.28% (1 family) is patriarchal.

 The Family Structure is affected by family income and economical status. The

family income almost dictates the family size and structure. The family must only

accommodate what the income provides. The higher the income, the bigger the family

size and structure can get. Economical status works the same as the family income. The

nuclear families are separated from their own family because it is herder to sustain 2

families compared to 1 family. The nuclear families are separated because of the high

cost of living.

Those in extended families perceive poverty as a problem that they can surpass

with the help of one another. The dependency ratio also plays a part in this family

structure. The high dependency ratio results to the extension of families because they

can’t support their own family that’s why they need to ask assistance from their relatives.

Figure 4: Dominant Family Members

 The table shows that 88.46% (69 respondents) answered that the father is the

dominant member in the family and 11.54% (9 respondents) answered that the mother is

the major player.

The dominant member of the family in Jesus St, Pandacan, Manila is the Father.

He is also the basic earner. According to the data collected, 72 out of 90 males aging from

18 years and above are employed and only 25 out of 104 among women aging from 18

and above are employed. The dominant member of the family is also affected by the

income they gather.

Figure 5 : Frequency Distribution of Religion of Each Family Assessed

 The data shows that there are 69 respondents that are Roman Catholic, eight who

said that their religion is Iglesia Ni Cristo, one who answered that their religion is born

again and none said that they are Muslims.

Most residents in the area have the religion of Roman Catholic since this religion

is the most dominant not only within the community but also throughout the country. This

is proven by the existence of a church outside the barangay and a small chapel in alley 2.

Although it is possible that the high percentage of the said religion on the graph is due to

catholic families that are overcrowded or have a large number of family members, in
which the children inherit the same religion as their parents. This therefore increases the

numbers of Roman Catholic believers in the area. Residents who are under the religion of

“Iglesia ni Cristo” are quite lesser than Roman Catholic but more than Born Again and

Muslim, since it is closely associated with the Roman Catholic belief. While “Born

Again” and “Muslim” religion believers are quite rare in the community, probably due to

oppression or racism among community members.

Based on the graph, 96 respondents had no formal education, 74 are HS

Graduates, 69 are in the Elementary Level, 52 are in the HS Level, 36 are in the College

Level, 25 are Elementary Graduates and finally, 22 are College Graduates.

In Pandacan, educational attainment is greatly affected by family income, family

size, resources and facilities iavalable. Family income also dictates the educational

attainment. The highest frequency in average family income is the Php 5, 000 and below.

Family size also works the same way as the family income. The bigger the family, the

higher the family income needs to be to sustain the neccessities of the family members.

Judging from the graph, there are many of them who reached the elementary

level, since most of the population are children. These children are expected to study at
the nearby public school where education is free. Some family members are those who

continue pursuing their studies in the highschool level. But since some of those who

studied in elementary left their studies to work, most students failed to reach highschool,

thus lessening percentage of H.S. Level than the Elementary Level on the graph. Since

highschool students are teenagers and more capable than small children, they are most

susceptible to leave school for work. At the same time, the pressure and difficulty

experienced in the highschool level compared to elementary level are too much for some

students that they tend to stop studying out of frustration. Therefore most students stop

after graduating highschool, the reason why the percentage of H.S. Graduates are quite

high. Barely a few reached college level due to financial problems. While college

graduates are really rare since most can’t afford to complete their college education and

probably couldn’t handle the pressure of studying on a much higher level. This gives both

college level and graduates a low percentage. But as observed on the graph, the highest

percentage belongs to those who have no education. This is represented by children or

infants that are still too young to study and adults who never graduated at any educational

level. The most possible reason could be poverty since some parents ended up not

finishing their studies due to their work. This sums up to the highest percentage on the

graph.

In the Employment graph, 72 males and 25 females are employed.

Unemployment is most common in females at 79 and 18 are males.

The outcome of the collation determined the highest type of employment as

regular at 48.72% because family members especially the heads and the breadwinners

who engage in this type of work hope to rid their families of poverty by settling in

definite stable jobs.

 Self-employed families/family members prefer having their own businesses to

apply their own techniques in endorsing or promoting their products and selling them

better. Self-employment tails at 29.49%.

Tied at 23.08% are contractual and casual. A contractual type of employment is

one of the two least preferred kinds by the families evaluated due to its short course and

instability. After completing the designated months or years of work, a person must find a

new job, which appears to be quite impractical for some families. The casual type is the

most unpredictable of all the categories because it involves sidelines.

 The occupations of the individuals assessed are mostly related to the extent of

their educational attainment. Only a few completed their studies due to lack of financial

support. Those who finished their studies are more stable.

 The data shows that 46.15% (36 respondents) have and average family income of

below Php 5,000. 37.18% (29 respondents) have an income of not less than Php 5,001

and not more than Php 10,000. 7.69% (6 respondents) have an income of not less than

Php 10,000 but not more than Php15,000. 1.28% (1 respondent) has an income of Php

respondents) have Php 40,001 to Php 50,000. 1.28% (1 respondent) has an income of

more than Php 50,000.

Monthly income is greatly affected by some factors like educational attainment,

source of income, and occupation. Educational attainment is a major factor that affects

their family income. Because of the economic status, it is hard to attain/avail good

education. Most of the earners did not finish their studies.

Occupation also affects their monthly income. Most of them didn’t finish their

studies that is why they don’t have good educational backgrounds. 84.5% of the earners

In the community is blue collar job or also known as skilled workers. White collar job

consists of the professional workers like engineers, doctors, lawyers.

Self-employment also affects the monthly family income. 4% of the working

population in Pandacan is self-employed. They are dependent on their small business.

Availability of Social and Health Facilities

Community members should have health benefits like Basketball court, Botika ng

bayan, Day Care Center etc. to promote good and healthy lifestyle within the community.
 The benefit of having a drugstore as Botika ng bayan in the community is to help

the people in the community to afford cheaper medicines. Also, it is very convenient for

them because it is very near to home. The benefit of the health center is to guide the

people to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Further, this establishment helps to prevent those

diseases that may lead into severe conditions among the families. It also aims to promote

wellness and good living.

The benefit of having a Day Care center in the community is to help the children

be more attentive and knowledgeable with regards to the varying kinds of fun activities.

Moreover, it is a step to have a better understanding of different things.

The benefit of the barangay hall in the community is to give safety and security to

the residents.

The benefit of the chapel in the community is to help people in the community to

stay in touch with God for guidance.

The benefit of having a Basketball court in the community is to help the young

become active in the community and to promote the avoidance of engaging in bad vices.

The benefits of the instituted Petron Park in the community is to provide the children

(7%), since it is economically accessible, it can be easily bought even under their

financial status thus increasing the risk for respiratory diseases.. Drug used is also history

in their family but it is the lowest percentage in the graph, since it is expensive they

of the lack of resources, they tend to use the service of the center instead of the private

doctor, which only garnered 15 families consulting them. This is where their income

becomes questionable, as it restrains them from availing a much higher type of care

to lack of sources, they cannot afford to build a decent house with good quality materials.

level of awareness the people in Pandacan have in contrast with the sicknesses that can be

caused by water-borne diseases. This only exemplifies that Pandacan is well informed of

the dangers and threats that are dwelling in the things that they are handling everyday. As

for the 22 that answered that their drinking water supply is from a public source, families

with the income that ranges 5,000 and below can be the main cause that determines their

availability for resources.

Figure 21: Relationship of Respondents Whose Water is Safe To Drink or Not

For water potability, 72% of the respondents have potable water sources whereas

28% have non-potable sources.

 The percentage rates of the potability of water are greatly measurable through two

categories. These two divisions correspond to the two varying ratios of efficient and

accessible water and the other portion classified as non-potable, which cover the

respondents who live in the said area. Potable is categorized as the greater majority and

non-potable as the minority with figures respectively noted 72% and 28%. This serves as

proof that most residents use potable source of water.

Figure 22: Method of Storing Drinking Water

The table shows the data that 29 families have their drinking water stored in a

refrigerator, 28 families which have their water stored in a large covered containers with

faucet, 18 families that contain their water in a large covered container without faucet, 2

families that have their water in a bottle and a family that gets their drinking water from

the faucet.
 The figure shows how well the people in Pandacan live which is why majority

have their drinking waters stored in a refrigerator. Even though they live with only 5,000

and below as monthly income, they tend to make sure of the sterility of their drinking

water because it is one of the simple ways to make sure their family is in a healthy

condition. They are properly aware of the threats and diseases that can arise from

drinking unclean water. Also another major answer is the container with faucet, which is

the type of container that is being bought by families who are considering the cleanliness

of their drinking water. Out of the 78 families that are targets of this study, the bulk rests

in the greater segment of the families that keep their drinking water in a sterile and clean

place, and it shows the knowledge of each family in terms of water containment.

Out of 78 respondents, 70.51% are using gas stove, 18% are using

firewood/charcoal and 6.41% are using electric stove.

 Based on the results, families in the community are using gas stove due to low

income and can’t afford to buy much higher quality stoves. Some families are using

charcoal/firewood because these families are less fortunate than families using gas stove

and for them it is convenient to use firewood/charcoal. Only a few families are capable of

purchasing electric stoves. They only represent about 6.41% of the total assessed

population.

In the types of drainage, 53% of the total assessed population have blind drainage

and only 47% have open ones.

The result of the data collation proved that there is only a small disparity between

families who have open drainage and those who have blind ones. The portion 52.56%

referring to the families with blind drainage barely differs with the fraction 47.44%.

According to the interviewees, they have never experienced any negative health related

illnesses resulting from having either of the given forms of systems. What’s important for

them is having the facility.

The greater majority at 71% are not able to respond to proper waste containment.

According to the families classified in this segment, they are quite contented with placing

their trash in plastic bags and leaving them for the garbage collector to gather.
 Following the majority at only 3% are those families who are keen enough to

promote environmental sanitation and good health within and outside their respective

houses by covering their waste until the time of collection.

The residual portion of the total population which 28% does not have any garbage

can at all. They either discard their trash in their neighbors’ trash can or dispose it

anywhere.

Of the total assessed population, 95% adhere to waste collection while only 5%

prefer open dumping.

As a result of the data collation, 94.87% was determined as the portion of the

assessed families who participate in garbage collection rather than utilizing other waste

disposal methods. The aim of this kind of disposal is to promote discipline among the
community members and encourage them not to throw their garbage anywhere. The

remaining 5.13% of the community are still greatly in favor of open dumping.

 As a result of the analysis of data, 84.62% of the families that we assessed have

their own private toilet inside their house while 15.38% had to share with other families

because their house is only rented, and some families live in one house. These families

who share toilets have low incomes and can’t afford to have their own house and their

own toilet.

 Based on the graph, 75.64% of the households have breeding sites of mosquitoes,

insects and other pests. They are not able to maintain the cleanliness of their surroundings

and most trash bins are not properly covered, making it a perfect breeding site for pests.

24.36% of the families assessed have no breeding sites because they were able to

somehow maintain cleanliness, probably because they have time to clean their

surroundings.

 In Barangay 836, District 91, it is apparent that pregnancy is not prevalent in their

population. In this community with a total assessed population of 374, 192 are female

respondents. Within this range, only six are pregnant. Due to the profusion of family

planning methods, they are now engaged and aware of controlling their population. They

are aware that total population is elevating rapidly, so as to control it, use effective family

planning methods.

Natural Method Pills Ligation

Out of 78 respondents, 58 prefer the natural method, 10 use pills, and 2 resort to

ligation.

The outcome of the collation determined the highest type of family planning

method as the Natural Method at 74.36% because the couples want a safe and easy and
affordable type of family method. They want this kind of means because it is easy to use

and there are no side effects in their body and also in their relationship.

The second type of family method is the Pills at 23.08%, because couples found

out that the pills are much safer than the other type of family planning. The couples also

said that pills are easy to use because it is taken in via oral route.

The other type of family planning method is the Ligation at 2.56%, because some

couples want to have a permanent type of family planning method.

Family planning has devoted considerable attention to studying the determinants

of women's fertility and method of family planning to be used. While it has been assumed

that family planning programs have beneficial consequences for women's lives, there has

been little research that evaluates the impact of family planning on women's personal,

social, or economic conditions.

With that, women in Pandacan give too much emphasis on the use of natural method

because it is economical and practical. Instead of providing money on buying pills and

other methods, they paved away with it and buy first the things needed like foods for the

family and other basic necessities.

The presence of tuberculosis was determined at 97% for those who are clear and

3% for those who have the disease.

 Depending on the total population of families, 2 families were assessed to have to

have the presence of Pulmonary tuberculosis. A manifestation of cough and colds in more

than two weeks was observed. These 2 families have consulted a Public medical doctor

instead of a private doctor due to an insufficiency in the family income and the

affordability of consultation expenses. Good thing, the other family members were not

diagnosed with PTB. People who were diagnosed to have the occurrence of pulmonary

tuberculosis do take their medicines regularly offered by the DOTS program of the health

center, helping them eliminate the accumulation of this communicable disease. At times,

diagnosed people need assistance through their “treatment partner”. This can be their

wives or other family members, but there are some who doesn’t need any assistance at

all.
