CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Barangay 421, zone 43, district IV is a community located at the heart of urban
Manila. It is a few blocks away from the LRT 2 station. The barangay is led by Francisco
Manahan and regularly receives health services from the Manila health department which
provides basic vaccines. The Manila Health Department has also established a
community health center for the residents of the barangay. The community is in an urban
setting and is surrounded by industrial establishments like the San Miguel warehouse,
and the CLYK commercial office building. The Philippine National Railway and the
LRT 2 are located a few blocks away from the community. The primary method of
transportation in the community is by tricycles and jeepneys. Some families have their
own private vehicles. Squalor and pollution is evident because of the community’s urban
and industrial settings. There are a few private preschools found in the area. There is also
a basketball ring used by residents for entertainment but it is placed in the middle of a
street.
On July, 2011, the University of Santo Tomas Medical Technology Interns
conducted an interview in the area. The interview was done to gather essential data about
the community. As of July 2011 there are 77 males for every 100 females in the said
community, there is also a high number of middle aged people in the barangay. Most of
the working age people who live in the area are single and earns more than 19,000 pesos
per month. The occupations are generally mixed, but most occupations generally fall into
the blue collar bracket. The education background of the community is poor as more than
half of the population did not finish college. Majority of the population is Roman
Page 2

Catholic. The survey also shows that most of the population has lived in the barangay for
more than 10 years and their province of origin is generally from the island of Luzon.
The materials used to build the houses in barangay 421 are generally mixed of
light and strong materials but ventilation is quite adequate; also, most of the people who
live in the community say that they are renting the house that they live in. Water supply is
not much of a problem; Maynilad is in charge of water distribution in the area. Garbage
collection is managed by the City government and occurs every week.
The community generally has a level II excreta disposal system. Majority of the
families in the community has refrigerators used for food storage. Mothers were also
interviewed in their practice of infant feeding, majority of the babies were not breastfed
but were given powdered milk. Six children below 1 year old were involved in the survey
and out of the six children in the survey only one was fully immunized by the community
health center.
Most residents of barangay 421 go to hospitals to seek medical treatment but
majority of the health information is received from the health center.

2.1.7 SUMMARY OF FACTORS AFFECTING HEALTH STATUS/ HEALTH
SERVICES; INTERRELATIONSHIP OF FACTORS DESCRIBED IN
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
Age is a major factor when comes to acquiring non-communicable diseases. With
the majority of the population ranging between 20 and 39, the community is at greater
risk of acquiring work related illnesses as compared to genetic ones. The people in the
area appear to be earning sufficiently for basic needs as well as proper health care.
Conflict of interest are of little concern when it comes to culture and religion as majority
of the population have been staying in the area for more than 10 years and are Roman
Catholics therefore there should be little problem in implementing projects due to cultural
or religious beliefs. With 53.7% of the houses found in the area made of mixed light and
strong materials while 25.9% show inadequate ventilation, the risk of airborne and
droplet transmitted infections are increased. There should little problems sanitation-wise
as 100% of the garbage are collected daily and disposed properly, water supply is assured

by Maynilad, and all households have toilets. 72% of households have refrigerators while
there are sufficient stores in the Barangay for easy access of food when food storage is
impossible.

2.3 PROBLEM ANALYSIS
2.3.1 IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS
The barangay’s leading causes of morbidity include upper respiratory tract
infections. A factor to this illness that can be seen here includes the inadequacy of
ventilation per household due to the crowding seen. Several households in the community
comprises of college students whom rent apartments in the area most of this boarders
come in groups of more than 5 sharing the space. As well as the students, the adults
Page 29
8/6/2019 Manuscript Group 2 CPH
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manuscript-group-2-cph 29/30
commute outside the area to their workplaces due to lack of local jobs. This results to the
increased amount of jeeps that are seen parked around the community. Having to
commute to school or work every day increased stress in the part of the people as well as
human contact which increases susceptibility of the people in transmitting this droplet
and airborne infections. Another possible way of transmitting upper respiratory infections
includes the sharing of food, water, and utensils, and is possibly avoided by using serving
spoons.
The second leading illness in the area is hypertension. This is a non-
communicable disease usually obtained by the elderly. Known as the “silent killer,”
hypertension should be a community concern as it is a significant risk factor for several
other fatal conditions such as stroke and heart problems. A key factor to hypertension is
age; but with a population of young adults, the more probable factors to cause this illness
are obesity, stress, alcohol intake, and smoking. Obesity is common in well-off
communities due to abundance of food and overindulgence. Stress can easily be
associated to the fact that several adults in the community high stress jobs including
statisticians, businessmen, call center agents, etc. Smoking and alcohol is simply
common vices which can be found in the country especially fitting in the Filipino
lifestyle. Although there are many medicines used to lower a person’s blood pressure, the
proper lifestyle change is the most essential part in maintaining a healthy blood pressure.
Awareness of the proper actions and regular consultations with the physician is the best
way of avoiding any complications that are caused by this condition.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is another leading illness in the community. Being a
common disease in third world countries, the Philippines is certainly not an exception to
transmitting the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. PTB has the same risk factors as

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manuscript-group-2-cph 30/30
upper respiratory tract infections which include talking, sneezing, coughing, and the
sharing of food. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a more serious case as it is sometimes caused
by a drug resistant strain of bacteria and is very infectious.
