13.67 % has 10000 php or above, 12.5 % has 2001-3000 php, 11.72 % has

4001-5000 php, 11.33 %has 50001- 7000 php, 10.55 % has 7001- 10000 php,

another 10.55 % has 3001-4000 php, 6.25% has 1000 php or below and 8.98 %

IMPLICATION

To live decently to sustain the needs of the members of the family, a

household should have a good income. This is a very crucial factor in building

and maintaining a healthy community. On the other hand, a monthly income of

6250 php can’t be considered sufficient to sustain a family of six.

As of 2006, poverty incidence in the Philippines is 40% of its population and

15.3 million Filipinos wake up without food in their table every morning. And an

average man would need 209 php a day to meet his needs (International Labour

Organization).

18

The gathered data on the assessed residents implies that half of the people

have an income lower than the minimum monthly income that a household

should have to sustain for a living.

RECOMMENDATION

1. The local government of Asuncion should organize more income generating

project s or campaigns to compensate the masses needs for additional income.

ANALYSIS:

Out of 256 assessed residents, 50.39% did not specify any weaning

alternatives.21.48% substituted breastfeeding with lugaw; 21.48% with lugaw

and only 15.23% resorted to lanot.

IMPLICATION:

Weaning is the process of introducing a baby to solid after being totally

dependent on breastmilk for their nutritional need of the first six months of life.

From an average weight of 3 kilos at birth’s weight increases almost to 5 kilos, at

the end of 3 months. In fact, from birth to 1 year is the time of fastest growth for

the baby. Milk alone cannot fully meet the baby’s needs and sustain this rapid

rate of growth,(www.greatoffers4u.com/article)

Recommendation:

1. Encourage mothers to start giving solid foods, to babes when they are around

six months old, while maintaining breastfeeding.

2. Introduce of small amount of pureed fruits and vegetable and gradually build

up to larger amounts of more solid food.

29

3. Mix solid food with breastmilk or formula milk.

ANALYSIS

Out of 256 households, most of the population wean their children at 11-15

months of age, while the 1-5 months category has the lowest range of 3.52%.

weaning their children. Breast milk is widely acknowledged as the most complete

form of nutrition for infants, with a range of benefits for infants’ health, growth,

immunity and development. Breast milk is a unique nutritional source that cannot

be adequately be replaced by any other food, including infant formula.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Exclusive breastfeeding for approximately the first six months and

support for breastfeeding for the first year and beyond as long as

mutually desired by mother and child.

2. Mother and infant should sleep in proximity to each other to facilitate

breastfeeding.

31

3. Self-examination of mother’s breast for lumps is recommended

throughout lactation, not just after weaning.

4. Support efforts of parents and the courts to ensure continuation of

breastfeeding in cases of separation, custody and visitation.

were 350° C (662° F) for normal operation, and 400–450° C (752–842° F) to

simulate overfire conditions. Unprotected ceilings at 457 mm (18 in.) clearance

61

met code recommended temperature rise limits for normal operation, but

protection was needed for overfire exposures. Some protected walls allowed for

clearance reductions to 76 mm (3 in.) for all exposures, while others needed at

least 304 mm (12 in.) for normal and 457 mm (18 in.) for overfire exposures.

because it is considered as fire hazard. Using kerosene is at risk for fire because

it may explode if the user doesn’t know how to handle or use it.

mosquitoes and ants; “alampinig” with percentage of 18.36%. The least of the

presence of insects are “bunhok” which only has 11.72% out of 256 households.

cockroaches with a percentile range of 66.80%. This means that the families

within the community are more prone to infections disease caused by these

88

insects. And cockroaches may not directly infect human with illness or disease,

they are drawn to unsanitary area where disease lurks. Keeping area clean of

dark, dirt food sources for the insects will go a long way to protecting humans

from any diseases. (http://www.essortment.com/articles/cockroaches-promote-

diseases_1775.htm)

insects in the surroundings.

SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE

By: BSN3, 2009

Every journey has its distinct way of coming to an end. Our Community

Organizing Participatory Action Research (COPAR) exposure at Purok 1-4, Brgy.

Buclad, Asuncion, Davao del Norte – one of the SMC’s community extension

programs had reached its completion and marked the beginning of a realization

transformation.

Our journey with the residents of Brgy. Buclad will always be engraved in our

hearts. The whole experience was challenging, enlightening and educational.

We went through difficulties during the entire process but we learned a lot in

terms of going out of our comfort zones and be immersed and be witnesses of

the plight of the poor especially those who are materially and financially deprived.

We did experience how difficult it is to walk long distances under the

scorching heat of the sun as we made our visits and interviews from house to

house. But in spite of these, we found the experience very fulfilling and

meaningful.

109

The warm welcome of most of the residents of Brgy. Buclad was very

evident when we interacted with them as evidenced by their attentiveness,

eagerness and cooperation.

Our hearts were touched by their hospitability as they welcome us to their

humble doorsteps.

As we established rapport with the community residents, we were motivated

to give our best efforts in extending our health care assistance and services.

Despite of the difficulties we had encountered, we remained determined to

give the community residents the health care they need and they deserve.

At the end of our exposure, it was very overwhelming and satisfying knowing

that we helped a lot of people and we received a lot of warm “thank you” from the

community residents.
