POPULATION
Interpretation:
Based on the data gathered, the ratio between males and females is
96.63%. The female population is greater in number than male population by
4%.
Analysis:
Sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a population. The shift toward
an excess of females has a variety of social and biological implications. Men and
women differ with respect to the amount of schooling, age at marriage, entrance
into and length of labor force activity, type of occupations held, amount of
income received and amount of social group activity. They also are purported to
have different social, psychological and cultural characteristics.
Based on the given data, it was found out that there are more females
than males in Purok 4. With this data, it could be suggested that the health
programs be intensified for both of the sexes since the only difference between
them is 4%. Health teachings like proper diet, lifestyle, and prevention of
diseases must be discussed in order to prevent death and promote healthy
living.

Percentage Distribution of Population Showing the Civil

1% 2%
46% 51%
Interpretation:
Based on the pie chart, 51% of the total population in Purok 4 are single,
46% are married, 2% separated and the least is the widowed comprising of 0.5%
of the population.
Analysis:
3|Page
Civil (marital) status is the description of a person’s relationship with a
significant other. In Purok 4, most of the population is single since according to
age and sex distribution, the population largely comprises of young adolescent
group. Second to the highest is the married group since the percentage of late
adolescent group and adult group is dominant in the area. Only 2% is separated
which means that only a small percentage of married couples is discontented of
their relationship with significant other. The least percentage is the widowed
group and this is due to the elderly population in the area wherein their partners
died of old age or other sickness significant to aging process.
Health programs must be intensified for those who are single since their
group is comprised mostly of those in the adolescent stage. Health teachings
regarding proper hygiene, diet and lifestyle must be discussed. Also, ways on
how to manage and cope with stress must also be emphasized because they are
single and thus they do not have someone to deal their problems with except for
their family. It is also important to inculcate to them the importance of
education before they enter marriage. Second priority in the area is the married
group wherein the health teachings must be the following: family planning,
responsible parenthood, prevention of diseases and promotion of healthy
lifestyle. Although the separated and the widowed are least in the group, they
must also be given focus and be reminded of prioritizing their selves as well as
their children if they have any. Coping with stress must be given emphasis since
they lack ability to cope with it due to broken family.
Dependency Ratio = No. of population 0-14 years + 65 years old & above x 100
Population 15 – 64 years old
= 184+7 x 100
382
1. Dependency Ratio =50%
Analysis:
Based from the above mentioned computation, for every 100 productive
individuals, there are 50 dependents. This shows that the ratio of the supporting
population and the one they are supporting is 2:1. Initially, the ratio signifies an
ideal weight for the productive and non-productive group of the population. Two
4|Page
productive individuals are supposed to work for every single non-productive
individual. The community exhibited an ideal to good rate of dependency ratio.
That is if all the productive group of the population would work and have
decently fair wages, the community can be able to minimize their economic
difficulties. The population’s working group is large enough to support the
dependents. The only thing that is needed is to utilize this working group by
providing them with jobs that would give enough income for them to satisfy
their physiologic needs. Income generating livelihood programs may be a good
way of helping the working group stabilizes their jobs as well as incomes if the
community will provide so.

jobs to make a living. Belonging to this group are vendors and sari-sari store
owners who employ themselves in providing a living for their families. Even
without formal education, they use their own skills in order for them to provide
for their needs, in any way possible. Those who were unemployed were either
minors or still students, or have disabilities which prohibit them to make a living
by themselves.

Aglipayan and even Islam.
Analysis:
There are a large number of Roman Catholics in Purok 4, compared to the Non-
Catholics, therefore, majority of the population believes in the teaching of the
Catholic Church and know to practice conscience in deciding in health matters
and problems.

Analysis:
Almost the half of the population of Purok 4 had their roots from Visayas,
because their relatives had spared them there lots, farms, or even fish ponds
that they are maintaining due to the wish of their descendants.Therefore, as
Visayans dominates the population, many are used to speak Cebuano, Ilonggo,

Interpretation
Analysis:
More than half of the community has their houses built with mixed materials
like concrete and plywood. This is more convenient than Light housing and Make
shifts, since the materials are sturdier and can withstand the usual changes in
the weather. Mixed houses are also cheaper than strong ones. Second to the
most common type of housing in Purok4 is the strong type. Individuals or
families who can afford materials such as concrete and steel prefer to make their
shelter stronger so as to withstand the common hazards in the community like
fire, and also the natural calamities. For them safety is their main priority in
order to live a more convenient life. Light type of housing is not that common,
with a 5% percentage only. The families do not usually have sufficient amount to
afford sturdier materials for their houses. An even smaller percentage of the
population built their houses out of easily-collated materials. For as long as they
11 | P a g e
have something to protect them from the rain and the heat, have something
where they can sleep and eat in, they are content. They are usually the ones who
cannot provide for their family mainly because of financial insufficiencies.

Analysis:
72% of the houses built within the community are built with proper
ventilation, while only 28% of them do not. Most of the houses in Purok4 are
built with wide windows and doors. The inhabitants also prefer to let their
windows open during the day to let the air from outside to get inside and
keep the heat out. Some of the families have plants and trees planted on
their backyards which enhance better ventilation as it keeps the air cool and
clean. The smaller group of families who do not have adequate ventilation
either have their houses built in the inner streets of the neighborhood and
hence receive only a little amount of outside air and have windows which are
either too small or are being covered by other houses around.

Interpretation:
For the community’s water resources, most of the population comprising
65% has their water resource from a water company supply like NAWASA and
MWSS. While the remaining 35% of the total population still rely on the “old
style” common deep well or what we so called “poso”.
Analysis:
The researchers had concluded based from the above data presented,
many homeowners in Purok 4 are used to have their water resources from the
projects of water supply companies that built different water ways within the
community compared to the remaining percentage of the population that still
depends their water resources from deep wells that are still present in the
community. Some still depends on pozos because of lack of inadequate finances
that they could pay for their monthly dues for MWSS, they reasoned out that
instead of spending it for NAWASA, they would just spend it in buying their foods
for the whole day.

Interpretation:
Analysis:
As for the majority who are using pour flush toilets, the importance of
frequent and proper hand washing is the focus of the community. The absence
of a direct water supply in pour flush toilets makes it prone to dirt and bacteria,
which can easily cause diseases, especially those concerning the digestive track,
when ingested. To avoid the spread of fecal-oral diseases are common to such
kinds of toilets, hand-washing demonstrations and teachings may be
implemented in as a program in the community. Health seminars may be
conducted in the community to increase their awareness about the importance
16 | P a g e
of hygiene to their health and how hand washing could decrease the possibility
of acquiring gastrointestinal illnesses.

remaining 1% is being burned.
Analysis:
In Purok 4 community, about 80% of the people dispose their garbages
through the collection of dump trucks for an easy and convenient way of
garbage disposal while 11% of them practice proper waste segregation. They
separate non biodegradable materials and biodegradable materials to help in
maintaining a healthy and organize environment and try to keep those materials
that can be recycle or use again. And few of them, about 8%, dumped or throw
their garbages anywhere. They dumped it along the streets, vacant lot or even
along the river. Lack of knowledge on improper disposal of garbages can be a
factor why few of them disregard important things like this that can harm their
health. And the remaining 1% of them practiced burning of garbages. They think
17 | P a g e
that burning of garbages can help them lessen the possibility of having disease
(such as dengue) in their area.

Interpretation:
For food storage and facilities of the community, 64% of the population
has their own tables in storing their foods & meals for the whole day. While the
remaining 2-3% of the population still use other types of storages like baskets,
Tupperware or even cabinets.
Analysis:
There is a greater percentage of people who don’t keep their food on
refrigerators – which then heightens the risk of food spoilage and contamination.
The chart highlights the need for proper food storage and handling because food
sanitation is not adequate in the community. The food, when contaminated or
spoiled, loses its original nutritional value, texture, and flavor. Thus, the food
becomes harmful to people and unsuitable to eat. This can be caused by
bacterial or fungal growth, infestations from insects or rodents and the
temperature of the surroundings. Once the food is not properly stored, it would
lead to an increase in the gastro-intestinal diseases existing in the community.
In the case of the sixty-nine percent who do not store their food on
refrigerators, they should be aware of the amount of food to be cooked for the
day. It should be just enough for the whole family to consume wherein there
19 | P a g e
would be no excesses. In this way, food spoilage can be avoided and there would
be no waste of money and time.
2. Family Planning

INTERPRETATION:
Women on Purok 4 surveyed shown that most of them agreed with 61% as
acceptors and the remaining 39% where non-acceptors. Apparently, 0% is defaulter.
ANALYSIS:
Family planning is the planning of when to have children, [ and the use of
birth control and other techniques to implement such plans. Other techniques
20 | P a g e
commonly used include sexuality education, prevention and management of
sexually transmitted infections, pre-conception counseling and management, and
infertility management.
Based on the data surveyed, 61% were in favor of family planning known
as “acceptors” and the rest comprising of approximately 39% were “non-
acceptors.” This entails that people on the community favored family planning
without any other statement. Maybe because they themselves were victims of
adversities brought about by a somewhat large family size.

responsibilities towards contraception lies on

pills must be taken religiously since any

Ligation on women seems to be effective most of the times since ampulla of the
fallopian tube where cut thus ovary cannot pass through it, we very well know that
vasectomy is the counterpart of it among men. IUDs such as those hormonally based
and copper based one; however certain abnormal effects may happen if pregnancy
continues here, epitome of it was intrauterine bleeding. Condoms were not used mainly
by men for the reason that “satisfaction not guaranteed”. Usage of injectibles is not that
popular since pain is present upon administration of it.
On the other hand, out of 27% who prefers natural method of family planning:
56% of them prefer withdrawal, 39% uses calendar method & the remaining 5% thinks
abstinence would be the best choice. We all know that Philippines is one of those
Catholic country and in line with this is a “pro life” heart within ourselves. In relation to
22 | P a g e
program of DOH: Senate Bill No. 1546 and House Bill No. 16 which mainly entails

women to recover their health improves women's potential to be more
productive and to realize their personal aspirations and allows more time to care
for children and spouse/husband, and secondly, “informed choice” that is
upholding and ensuring the rights of couples to determine the number and
spacing of their children according to their life's aspirations and reminding
couples that planning size of their families have a direct bearing on the quality of
their children's and their own lives.

The facility also influences employee service attitudes and behaviors. Finishes,
signage, and artwork must be carefully selected, well coordinated, and integrated.
Security can be balanced with some features apparent to patients/visitors, while
conveying a message of safety.
It’s based on the findings that people have a preference going to private clinics
to seek health needs, followed by choosing hospitals, next favor is on health centers and
the remaining on quack doctors. Medical professionals like doctors, nurses, midwifes
and the like were apparently most consultation and preference regarding seeking health
care lie. Quack doctors were not favored since the community surveyed is not a
“province based” one and more of it is an urban type.
