PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS

COMMUNITY ECONOMIC SYSTEM

Productive Activities

Income Classification of the Community

Babasa An estimate of P6,000-P7,000 a month The Brgy. Captain didnt have the exact f igures/data for this

question but he had given us an estimate which was based

to f igures f rom 3 years ago-an income estimate of (P4,000-

P5,000)

Common income earning activities in the community

Babasa Adult residents of Marytown usually work as drivers, maids (kasambahay)

and construction workers. The youth who are working students are usually

employed as crew members in f astfood chains. Their employment are

usually along the vicinity of the baranggay or Q uezon City.

Since most of the residents are generally HS grads, this reality

was somewhat expected.

But what about the few who had f inished college? Is their f ate

the same? Why is this?

Villacorte Most of the women earn their income through their own sari- sari stores,

doing manicure/pedicure and laundering clothes two times a day. As for

men, they make money by means of being tricycle driver or f amily.

Moreover, they also work as construction worker, electrician, carpenter and

security guard as their daily basis.

Earning salary through jobs that are unstable wouldnt be

enough for a large community with large f amily.

When it comes to earning incomes, men usually get the jobs

that pay higher salary.

Women do most of the inside or household jobs while men do

the outside and risky jobs.

The salaries both gained by men and women are just enough f ir

their f amilies or for themselves.

Babasa y For women, they do laundries for other people and some of them have

stores in Mary town, selling food to earn money. But when they sell

food it is not constant because sometimes if their budget is not enough

they wont be able to sell food but if there would be extra thats the

only time they would be able to sell food again.

y Womens jobs are more on the household job that does not

have any high earning as long as they are earning it would

be f ine for them. And for the men, they are more on to the

physical works that men even have high pay when it comes

to work.

y Open Monday - sunday y Haircut: 40/person y Salon: 80

y The productive activities are still dominated by men. One

striking idea that the interviewees said was the notion of

poverty. Poverty caused women to engage on productive

activities. But it is noticeable that the burden still remains

evident amongst women since they are still expected to

take care of the children, does the household work while at

the same engage on income earning activities so to

provide extra income for the f amily.

y Most men engaged in construction work have unstableincome since most of them are on a contractual and not on

a regular basis

y As f ar as the group is concerned, women are the ones who

are go to the neighborhood and ask for money if the

husband receives a meager salary not enough to sustain

the needs of the f amily.

y Assessing the number of jobs and hours of women and

mens work (whether productive or reproductive) the

results will show that women are the ones who have more

unpaid work, more hours of work.

y Because many women are receiving OFW remittances, it

goes to say that there are more men than women who have

the opportunity to work abroad.

y Female elders assist in selling foods and other products.

since this has been the ways ever since (nakasanayan na).

In order for women to attain other economic opportunities

aside f rom the reproductive work and productive works

that seems to be an extension of their reproductive

obligations, men should also be willing to engage in

reproductive work. There must be a more equal relations,obligations, and opportunities for both men and women so

as to be able to f ill up the loss of development resources

and to better the conditions and status of both men and

women.

addressing livelihood. However, he said that the Baranggay

is able to help residents of depressed areas by referring

them to local networks/establishments who are in need of

services. (Construction worker, drivers, laundry services

etc.)

It was good to hear that the baranggay takes the initiative

to help the residents in the event that they could not f ind

jobs.

-Q uezon city hall set-ups job f airs for the people in the community

-Barangay Loyola offers job for men to be a tanod, tauhan ng baranggay,

tricycle driver, or security guard

-We noticed that these two organizations that help people

in terms of their livelihood were casted as top-ranked

organizations.

-These were considered as very important sources of aid for

the f amily because aside f rom the f act that these

organizations help them live a f inancially stable life, they

also help them in getting government requirements like

cedula, etc.

-These organizations are also labeled as Central for the

needs of the people of the Marytown. We think this is

because these are the organizations that is very much

commercialized and highly recognized because they are

government programs.

Bena

The church of Dela Strada are pursuing the so-called credit cooperative

to help the people of Marytown.

INSIGHT: Would the credit cooperative alone help the

people? We think that they should also have some kind of

workshops and seminars to support the people of

Marytown in the proper handling of their money that was

initially borrowed f rom the church because the Dela Strada

church cannot assure that the credit that they are giving to

the people would actually go to a good cause.

IMPRESSION: The church is reaching out their hands to their

poor brothers and sisters. This is a good cause because we

know that although the church is really not that that rich,

they continue to help others. The people of Marytown also

benef its a lot f rom this cooperative.

OBSERVATION: None as of now.

Private Business/Multi-National Corporations Programs for Livelihood, Income and Entrepreneurship Development

-There were no private institutions helping out the community in a

direct way when it comes to livelihood programs. We say this is so

because there were no programs or projects by private corporations

that is mentioned by the INSA-Kum that are helping them to earn

income.

-We observed that mostly private organizations in

Marytown focused mostly on giving educational rather than

income-related projects. This is an indirect way of helping

out in livelihood because by giving educational support,

they ease the burden of the parents in sending their

children to school because of lack of money.

Se x-segregated household level economic data

Audit of Multiple Incomes at HH level

Household chores are done by the women and their children because of the job of their husbands but if they have some f ree time, they help

their f amily in doing the chores.

They were saying that due to poverty both of them need tohelp each other in order for them to survive.

Babasa Most male residents work as construction or

f actory workers, drivers, and painter.

Wherein, roughly around 80-90% of them are

on-call or contractual workers.

Regular workers as said to earn an estimated

amount of P2,000 a week.

Female residents sometimes cook food to

sell, and wash and iron their neighbors

clothes when they are short on budget.

(There is no data regarding work pay.)

Because of poverty, women are

forced to also act as

breadwinners of the f amily while

being the ilaw ng tahanan.

- The kinds of work of women are extensions of their daily

activities at home. These are usually underpaid.

GROUPS

Women has the control and the decision-makers on the income of their

husbands.

But when their budget is not enough, the mother needs to get the

consent of her husband to allow her to borrow some money.

Even though the women are the decision-maker of the

f amily when it comes to spending their budget, there are

also times when they still consult their husbands before

doing an action.

Babasa - Female adults (mother) are in of ten in charge of reproductive

activities. However, when the children and the male adults (f ather) are

home, the HH work is divided among them.

The female respondents willingly accept and do all the HH

tasks because it is their duty as wives to take care of the HH

while the husband is working.

Camba Men: Laundry, ironing depends/very seldom Pag-asikaso ng asawa(depende kapag nagpapaasikaso ang babae) Men mostly engage in productive work than reproductive work. Women: Laundry (Female adult and child) Commonly done only once or twice a week Ironing (Female adult and child) Done during weekends Cooking (Female adult and child) everyday Cleaning (Female adult and child) everyday Looking af ter young children (1-6 yrs old) (Female adult and child) everyday Pag-asikaso ng asawa (Female adult and child) Araw-araw Women engage more in reproductive work than productive work

The productive and reproductive engagements in the

community are still divided among the stereotypes given to

male and female. Male, as breadwinners, are expected tolook for income and female, as the care takers, are expected

to do household chores. This system still prevails because

most men and women agree with this status quo and does

sees the point that there is an unequal division of labor and

unequal economic/livelihood opportunities.

Porta Each member of the f amily has a role in the household , everyone can

do the household chores

Men are not required to help in the household if they are already

working

Women still have a double burden because they carry out

most of the household chores even though they have other

Although the men is the main worker of the f amily, they still

Population and Household Data

Total Population-Proportion of Males & Females

Babasa Community residents are approximately 18,200.

Approximately 3,000 comes f rom Marytown.

Baranggay Captain only gave us a rough estimate. He noted

how it was hard to keep track and provide an exact count since most of residents in Brgy. Loyola Heights are

transients (transients considered as concern

contributes to proliferation of communities)

Porta 459 f amilies; 1,725 people (Brngy. LH Survey, 2008) Accuracy of data is questionable since many migrants come

to the area. Different statistics exists that makes it more

diff icult to determine the exact number

Porta

Villacorte

No specif ic data The Brgy. Captain implied that the common practice for

women f rom depressed areas is to marry right af ter HS and

focus on building their own f amilies, whereas males are the

ones expected to continue on af ter HS because of the need

Porta Most household heads are male.

New/Resident Migrants at the Community

Porta Many of the residents come f rom the rural areas. Most come f rom

Luzon.

Usually, new residents are construction workers

Most of the residents know where everybody lives, there is

a strong sense of f amiliarity among them, (they know who

moved away, who died, who lives with who and who had

just moved in)

U tilities Type of Dwelling

Babasa, The estimate is that 60% of HH is made of wood and 40% is made of

concrete. Most are really shanty.

Most of the dwelling units are made of a mixture of concrete and

cardboard bayo.

Most of the materials they use are f rom what is available ex. Yero

kahoy, etc. since they are not allowed to purchase materials to build

their homes, because they are informal settlers.

There is no specif ic f igure regarding this. The given data is

only the estimate of the baranggay captain.

Their houses are built as a way of adapting to their natural

situation. For instance, houses are not only built f rom

materials they could f ind, but they expand vertically and

tend to stack upwards. This should concern baranggay

heads and off icials because of the possible risks involved.

Unit & Proportion of Household per Type of Dwelling Unit

Porta More than 500 houses

Most of the houses are semi-concrete, made with wood and cement

and others made with light materials

Although the Brgy. Captain notes that there are some who reach the

It is noted that, in some cases, men are more likely to

pursue college because of burdens and responsibilities

aff iliated to them. They are expected to f ind work while

women are not likely to pursue education af ter HS since

-Kapitbahay Program (tutorial for kids) by Miriam College This helps the children to adapt to a f unctional way of life.

We think that this a good cause because in a way, they are

nurturing young kids in a sense that they are instilling a

sense of responsibility to them by making them more

attached to educational life.

-For us, giving a child a taste or sense of responsibility,

makes him more aware of his/her surroundings in life. In

this way, we think that this can help kids in Marytwon strive

harder in life in order to get a better life.

-But we ask the question: Why is it only limited to kids? Are

adult and teens mature enough to naturally adopt

responsibility, of of course not, we think that they should at

-Kinder Scholarship Program by Miriam College

-St. Vincent Foundation (scholarship of one child f rom a f amily with 3

-Giving scholarship aids to the youths in Marytown is a

privilege that they really enjoy well. By providing

scholarship, these organizations help ease the burden of the

parents in sending their children to school. They are like

helping out in the f amilies livelihood in an indirect way

because they are the ones supporting and providing a childfor education instead of the parents.

-Organizations that offer scholarship aids are ranked f rom

the middle level going up. This means that although they

are not the most important organizations inside Marytown,

they are still a necessity for them.

The health center is only open every Tuesday and it makes

us think about why that is because people get sick every day.

There is currently no doctor in HC but every Friday there is a

volunteer doctor, Dr. Helen Capuno.

Sometimes they ask for help f rom the church to provide

f ree medicine.

When we got to the Health Center we were shocked with

the looks of it. It looks like an abandoned room, with broken

window that is just covered with a piece of wood and the

outside of the Health center is not that clean. And also the

health center is at the back so it is hard to f ind.

-Although ranked at the bottom level of the hierarchy of

organizations inside Marytown, these organizations

providing health security to the people is still important.

With the kind of environment Marytown has, it is vital to

know that there are groups willing to help the people in

Marytown when it comes to their health.

-We think that maybe they can still go higher in the rankings

because health is a very important issue, it should not just

be neglected.

The baranggay doesnt have the power to stop demolition or provide

According to the baranggay, their main concern is only to

control/regulate the number of informal settlers for the

depressed areas. The issue regarding land ownership is

actually the problem of the Municipality. According to the Brgy. Captain, their role was to control

only the proliferation of people living in the depressed

areas. But this issue is so hard to solve since the problem is

There is not much emphasis on addressing the strategic

gender needs in the area.

Day care workers on gender socialization in school Camba Tasks given to male and female children:

Boys and Girls are equally given the same tasks. 42 students (am and

pm class: 18 girls

24 boys)

The boys and girls are taught on how a man and a woman should

properly dress. Boys: pants, shoes, brief, sando, jacket, hat. Girls: panties, bras, sleeveless shirts, skirts. They teach young girls and boys on how to dress based on their gender

and what jobs or tasks they are suppose to do when they grow-up(

female- household work; male- manual labor)

They also teach the children about the role of the parents and the other

members of the f amily, they emphasize that tasks done by males can

also be done by females and that it is important that both male and

female work to support and care for their f amilies.

yAlthough the teachers give the children equal tasks and

responsibilities inside the classroom they still teach gender

roles for the children by imposing what clothes they would

wear and what jobs they will do in the f uture They say that they do not want to change the jobs assigned

to men (productive work) and women (reproductive work)

but this notion is contrary to what they aspire men and

women to be - equal. At such young age, the children are taught to be the f uture

breadwinners of their f amilies. This notion is giving the

researchers an idea that the community is instilling to the

children their tasks and responsibilities as they grow up Gender roles are formed as early as preschool. Children are

taught what they should do, who they should be in the

society and these things are informed by their perceived

notion of who a man and a woman is.

y5 out of 10 f amilies constantly remind their children about the right

and wrong attitudes and behaviors.

The DCWs think that what men can do, the women can also do it.

The girls are also taught on how they should behave and act, like the

proper way of sitting.

The girls are more who disciplined than the boys.

The environment in Marytown affects on how the children act. (i.e.

bingo, vices done by the adults) Because of this, the DCWs are making

the students on what will be the outcome in the f uture if they do that

certain act. Example: they will be imprisoned or they will be given to the

police.

The parents jobs inf luence on how the children shape their personality.

-Many women in Marytown are working. In f act, there are more women

who have outside jobs rather than women who just stay at home. But,

these women experienced the so called double burden of work becauseaside f rom attending jobs outside, they are also the ones taking care of

the house and the children when they have f ree time.

-They think that men should contribute to the household chores and not

only leave these chores to women. If there is cooperation within the

house, the more the f amily will experience harmony and unity.

-For Barangay Loyola, they think that women are dedicated to their

work, are very loving and serve her f amily gently. On the other hand,

-We noticed that Barangay Loyola is very much updated in

the current status of men and women in Marytown because

they have given us direct and necessary answers along with

other comments and points of view. -The expected attitudes and characteristics of men and

women in the community is not only applicable to wives,

husbands, adult men and adult women, they are also

applicable to young kids - both boys and girls. We say this

because as what the Barangay have said, most mothers also

have their jobs outside Miriam College, and during this time,

the oldest girl in the children would serve as her siblings

Y outh on media & Gender messages

Krishna They usually watch prime time dramas like Ilumina, Pilyang Kerubin,

Agua Bendita, Noah ,etc.

they also read pocketbooks about romance and drama.

They also read local newspapers and sometimes listen to some radio

programs.

Even in television programs, the roles given to women are

still inferior to men.

Women are usually playing the roles of being poor and

weak. They are also seen as sex-ob jects because of the kind

of clothes they are wearing.

Men are usually playing the roles of being a person who has

the authority and power. They are also seen as oppressors.

But somehow, not all men and women have the samecharacters. In some television dramas, some women have

the authority and have strong roles and in the end their

lives are changed.

Homosexuals are seen as side-kicks and they only play

supporting roles.

We think that media has a strong inf luence on the youth

today. This is where they learn the different issues and

problems in our society.

Even though some of the television shows are not real, its

messages about the role of men and women are still the

same as what the society perceives.

Men are still seen as the superior while women are

inferiors.

Homosexuals are still not yet f ully accepted by everyone in

our society.

Even though we interviewed the youth, I somehow felt that

in their young age, they were already exposed to the

different realities in our society because of the inf luence of

the media.
