BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

1.1.1 Mindoro
Mindoro is the seventh-largest island in the Philippines. It is located of
the coast of Luzon, and northeast of Palawan. The southern coast of
Mindoro forms the northeastern extremum of the Sulu Sea. In past
times, it has been called Mai or Mait by Chinese traders and, by
Spaniards, as Mina de Oro (meaning "gold mine") from where the
island got its current name. According to the late historian William
Henry Scott, an entry in the official history of the Sung Dynasty for the
year 972 mentions Ma-i as a trading partner of China. Other Chinese
records referring to Ma-i or Mindoro appear in the years that follow.
From 1920 to 1950, the island was a single province with Calapan City
as the provincial capital. In 1950, it was divided into its two presentday provinces, Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro, following a
referendum that was pushed through by then acting governor Romeo
Venturanza.
1.1.1.1
Oriental Mindoro
A province of the Philippines located in
the island of Mindoro under MIMAROPA
region in Luzon, about 140 km southwest
of Manila. The province is bordered by the
Verde Island Passage and the rest of
Batangas to the north, by Marinduque,
Maestre de Campo (or known as Sibale
but official name is Concepcion) Island,
Tablas Strait and the rest of Romblon to
the east, by Semirara and the rest of
Caluya Islands, Antique to the south, and
by Occidental Mindoro to the west.
Oriental Mindoro is composed of 14
municipalities, with one city, Calapan City
serving as the provincial capital.

Mangyan
According to Mangyan Heritage Center in Calapan, Mindoro,

There are around 300 million indigenous peoples in the world. In
the Philippines, of the projected population of 94 million in 2010,
about
15%
belong
to
indigenous groups.
Mindoro is the seventh largest
island in the Philippines, with
an area of 10,224 square
kilometers and two provinces
Oriental and Occidental. Of
the total population of one
million,
the
indigenous
population is estimated at
100,000 +, 10% of the total
population of Oriental and
Occidental
Mindoro,
70%
animists and 30% Christians,
but official statistics are
difficult to determine under
the conditions of remote
areas, reclusive tribal groups
and some having little if any
outside world contact.

Mangyan is the collective name for the eight indigenous groups

living in Mindoro, each with its own name, language, and set of
customs: Iraya, Alangan, Tadyawan, Tau-buid, Bangon,
Buhid, Hanunuo, and Ratagnon.
Census of Population and Housing of the 8 tribes population
(total of 104,056 Mangyans) from National Statistics Office
: Household population by Ethnicity and Sex as of May 1,
2010 gives the following figures:

Oriental Mindoro
Occidental Mindoro
1.1.2.2.1
Iraya (26,789 population
2010 NSO
The Iraya occupy the northwestern part of Mindoro, where

one of the country's highest peaks, Mount Halcon, is
located. The word "Iraya" is derived from the prefix "i" denoting people, and "raya", a variation of "laya" which
means "upstream," "upriver" or "upland". Thus the
meaning of the word is "people from upstream" or
"uplanders". Historically, however, the Iraya occupied the
coastal region in some distant past, until they were
pushed further inland by settlers from other places. The
word also means "man", "person", and adult" (Servano,
2006)
1.1.2.2.2
Alangan (16,595 population 2010 NSO )
The Alangan occupy northwest central Mindoro. One
theory about this term is that it could mean "a group of
people whose culture is awkward", from the Tagalog word
alangan, which means among other things "uncertainty",
"doubt" or "precariousness". (Servano, 2006)
1.1.2.2.3
Tadyawan (4,271 population 2010 NSO )
There is scant information available regarding the
Tadyawan, who live in sparse settlements in the northeast
part of the island.
1.1.2.2.4
Tau-buid (11,716 population 2010 NSO )
The Batangan or Taubuhid (also Tawbuhid), the most
numerous of the Mangyan groups, occupy the central

highlands of the island in the Occidental Mindoro. They

live in a region where mountains tower 1950 m high. The
word "batangan" derives from "batang", meaning "trunk
of a felled tree", and "an", meaning "place", and refers to
a place where felled tree trunks may be found, probably a
swidden field. (Servano, 2006)
1.1.2.2.5
Bangon (13,656 population 2010 NSO )
The Batangan are also known as Bangon or Taubuhid.
Other names used to refer to them are Bukid, Bu'id,
Buhid, and Buhil, despite the fact that there is a separate
identifiable group to the south, the Buhid. Local subgroups
include the Bayanan and Saragan. (Servano, 2006)
1.1.2.2.6
Buhid (913 population 2010 NSO )
The Buhid occupy the south central part of Mindoro. Their
territory just about equally straddles the eastern and
western provinces comprising the island. (Servano, 2006)
1.1.2.2.7
Hanunuo (29,188 population 2010 NSO )
The Hanunoo Mangyan live in a mountainous area about
800 sqkm in the southeastern part of the island, mainly in
Oriental Mindoro. Their territory is under the municipal
jurisdiction of Mansalay, Bulalacao, and a certain part of
San Jose, which is the capital of Occidental Mindoro.
1.1.2.2.8
Ratagnon (928 population 2010 NSO )
The Ratragon occupy the southernmost tip of the island
province, quite close to the coast facing the Sulu Sea.
They lie nearest the aquatic route going to Busuanga
Island in the northernmost Palawan and the Cuyo islands,
two places where the language spoken is Cayunon, which
is also used by the Ratagnon (Servano, 2006)
Among all tribes Hanunuo has the biggest
population and the most culturally preserved while
Iraya is the most civilized.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The Oriental Mindoro Health Investment Plan (OMHIP) admits that
public health facilities which cater to the poor are mostly ill-equipped,
with inadequate supply of drugs and medical supplies. Private hospitals
that provide better health care are beyond the reach of the poor. It
also acknowledges the limited access of Mangyans to health services.
In addition, this development is aiming to give solution to the following
problems that currently exists on our health care for lung and
respiratory health:
In this province, respiratory diseases still rank as the

leading causes of mortality and morbidity. The most
common causes of morbidity are upper respiratory tract
infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea and pulmonary
tuberculosis (TB). In Occidental Mindoro, acute respiratory
infection has also been the leading cause of morbidity,
followed by diarrhea and gastroenteritis. There is no
hospital development that specialized in prevention and
cure of lung and respiratory diseases to efectively reduce
the case of such diseases.
As shown in the 1.1.3.1 Table of Hospitals and Infirmaries
Statistics, existing and new facilities ofers limited type of
service and care for the prevention, cure and treatment of
lung and respiratory diseases. Most of the public hospitals
are at Infirmary level and four (4) out of 13 in the whole
province is at Level 1 Hospital which is a very small
hospital, an emergency type one that ofers ONLY:
o
o
o
o
initial treatment for cases that require immediate

treatment and that provides primary care for
prevalent diseases in the area
general medicine, pediatrics, minor surgeries, and
non-surgical gynecology
primary clinical laboratory, pharmacy and first level
radiology
nursing care for patients needing minimal
supervised care

Patients have no choice but transfer to private hospitals

because of the limited services and equipment.

There are two Primary Users in this study the Tagalogs and
Mangyans. This study will show how healthcare should be
universal and equal (age, gender, class and special conditions
including PWDs).
1.3.2 Significance of the study to the healthcare providers
The study will provide healthcare providers a better
understanding on Mangyans health beliefs and be able to make
solutions or necessary adaptations on cultural diferences
1.3.3 Significance of the study to the field of Healthcare
Architecture
The study will also have significance in the field of architecture
since the development is one of the new concepts in a building
development. Architecture will be the medium on how social
factors afect the design of buildings.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

1.5.1 SCOPE
The study will discuss the significance of a Provincial Hospital and
Center for Respiratory Health: its organizational structure: the people
and spaces which involves such development. It will also identify the
best location for the development and its specific architectural design
planning and development schemes

it will help the poor health status in the province and in its region.
1.5.2 DELIMITATIONS

This study is delimited to architectural concept, design and ideas as

well as its planning and organization of spaces and brief structural
schemes. Environmental systems may difer depending on site
location; studies of other potential sites can be done. Set of users
showed in this book is based on the standards and may be changed
depending on the location and functions/level of hospital. The study for
Mangyan Health services will be delimited for civilized Tribes to achieve
the feasibility of the project because of cultural diferences. However,
this book can serve as a reference on similar health facilities that also
aims for the ware fell of other Indigenous people or tribes.
1.6
JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY1

For the past years, the poor and the disadvantaged groups in the
region have encountered many kinds of barriers when trying to gain
access to health care and medical services, basic education, water and
sanitation, nutrition services and shelter. The inequities in access to
health facilities and services resulted to poor health condition across
rural and urban population and communities. With the increasing
regional population, the provision of health and nutrition services must
be expanded and intensified considering the anticipated level demand
for these services. The challenge to meet these demands to improve
the well-being of the people will require an orchestrated actions from
the national and local governments, private groups, non-government
organizations and the people/communities themselves. (MIMAROPA

In the Province of
Existing Oriental Mindoro Provincial Hospital
Oriental
Mindoro,
Proposed Mina De Oro Provincial Hospital
there is an existing
Provincial Hospital
which is level 1
with
100
beds
which is located in
the City of Calapan.
The poorest of the
population are the
main
users
of
government health
facilities, yet these
health facilities are
too remote to them
especially from the
Municipality
of
Bulalacao and Manansalay which is at the farthest end of the Province,
approximately 6 hours away through the usual means of
transportation, which at worst case because of still insufficient service
and equipment will be further referred to Region IV-As Regional
Hospital which is 1-2 hours away via boat plus 30 minutes on land
transportation.
The proposed New Provincial Hospital in Pinamalayan, which is
centrally located provincially and Regionally is an attempt to give
solution to the previously stated problems in persisting causes of
mortatlity and morbidity; very insufficient number of hospital beds
compare to the provinces vastly increasing population; and cultural
problems especially of the Mangyans

visual access and to attain the desired zone character. The LUIC is
applied as follows:
a. Maximum Allowable Building Area per Floor in Square Meters
= Lot Area x Allowable PLO
b. Maximum Allowable Gross Floor Area in Square Meters = Lot
Area x Allowable FAR

c. In determining the maximum number of floors per building,

BHL regulations shall apply.
