area, however the respondent failed to give the exact area
landmass due to lack of data.

C. Socio-political Aspect

they also have community services such as community clean-ups
of canals, streets and riverbanks to prevent dengue. They also

up drives, women’s welfare, seminars and the like.

III. Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

Summary
According to Mr. Jamie L. Lopez, Jr., an officer in Barangay Burol I of
Dasmariñas City, Cavite, their community is a sustainable one. They
have a Health Care Center to tend people’s medicinal needs. An outpost
stands manned by one or two of their personnel to watch out if any
commotion occurs. CCTVs and some other officers patrolling around the
community help these men look out for areas their eyes can’t reach. With
approximately 18,000 people residing throughout the whole barangay,
10,000 of them exercise their right of voting during elections.

Every month, a day is especially allocated for children. They are given
free food to help with their nutritional deficiency. With this, they can
reduce hunger and could aid the children’s performance in daily
activities. Contrary to age, older women are invited to pay a
minuscule amount of money to exercise their body for about two hours
at most. Dancing zumba three times a week not only burn calories and
makes the body stronger. As claimed by Staughton (2019), it also
reduces anxiety and helps improve memory.

In prevention for the dengue outbreak, weekly cleaning is a must do.

Every nook and cranny of stinky canals, messy streets, and grimy rivers
should be left unblemished and free of dengue-carrying mosquitoes. For
it to be effective, every people must participate in maintaining and
preserving the cleanliness of the surrounding. It is a great thing that their
community is not prone to flooding, ergo people need not worry
evacuating and getting waterborne diseases.

Like every other community, Barangay Burol I have their share of

crimes. Theft, student riots, and violence against women are one of the
most complained transgressions. Fortunately, police officers and
enforcers assist them by making the offenders confess and atone to the
crimes they did. Aside from the police force, Lopez’s community is in
partnership with the Home Owner’s Association, Kababaihan ng
Dasmariñas sa Bagong Milenyo or KDBM, 4 Ps (Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino Program), and Green Ladies.

Conclusion
The Barangay Burol I of Dasmariñas City takes care of their people with
an approximate number of 18,000 people with medicinal needs, food for
kids to reduce hunger, an outpost stands, and CCTV’s to watch out for
any commotion. They are preventing the dengue outbreak by
maintaining the whole community clean and because of it, the barangay
is not prone to floods. People doesn’t worry about some diseases
anymore. They also invite their home owners to participate in Zumba.

4
Just like in any other community, this place also has crimes but not only
they have officers, they also have partnerships with some associations
to prevent more crimes from happening.

Recommendation
For our recommendation, since they already have a community that
initiates themselves to participate in their barangay activities, we think
that they should also proclaim an activity that initiates their community
to clean their environment on their own. Not that we are saying that their
community is not clean, what were saying is that if they proclaim that
activity, maybe they could hold the title of being the “Cleanest” barangay
inside Dasmariñas Cavite.

Additionally for the security, the Barangay should implement community

service for those youth who are caught involve in riots in their barangay
as their first offense and have a mandatory counselling about their roles
and behavior in their barangay together with their parents or guardians
so that they may guide them to avoid this type of crime. The community
should also conduct a safety awareness training program or tips to fight
against burglars in community, locate all obscure streets during night
then increase their police patrol in that area for day and night, especially
in most recorded crime areas and crowded public places.

The community should encourage women to voice out every single

violence that may happen in them, have a hotline center where women
can call during emergencies, and have an active organizations that
focuses on women’s rights to prevent any abuse in their community.

For their environment, not only that community should clean to prevent
floods from occurring which results to prevention in dengue mosquitos.
They should also remove any possible ways for the mosquitos to house
and reproduce themselves. It is due that dengue is not only attracted to
places that has a lot of water, but also places that are inaccessible by
people. Specially places like thin and narrow roads, corners, and things
where rain could accumulate.

For their community facility, we think that they should also have built a
facility that can improve their community’s talent and skill. Let’s say for
example an Indoor Sports Complex, a Kids Workshop, or anything that
can enhance an individual’s skills. We assumed, if the community has
this kind of facilities in their community, maybe the people inside the
community can prepare them to be an independent person someday.

5
Lastly, as for the data about their barangay, it should be well organized,
feasible and available. As we collected the data for population count
which is an integral duty of the community based census that helps the
Barangay determine the needs of their area of concern.

• How long do they last?

The floods last up until the rain the rain stops and the landslides stops
whenever the land-mass settles itself after a couple of minutes it started.

• What are the causes?

The floods are caused by the heavy rains and the garbage that is holding
the canals from flowing in to the river, the landslide is also caused by the
heavy rains, that made the wall and rocks weaker or the structure itself
was built unstable.

• Who are the affected?

Floods mostly affect the people, families that are living within the river
area, the landslide doesn’t affect anyone when it is caused by heavy
rains.

• Who are the most seriously affected and why?

when it is starting to rise or barangay personnel could inform the higher
authorities.

12
 • Which source or mechanism do they often use? Why?
Sometimes people rely on the early warning systems, but when there is
a heavy rainfall then the water level in the river is threatening to rise up
people begins to evacuate the area.

The discipline, because some people in the community is throwing away
their garbage everywhere. That causes the waterways blocked and
flood in the area and to reduce this disaster of risk we have an operation
cleaning campaign as well as some community orientation for the river
to be cleaned.

disaster risk?
The citizens and families to be aware of what to do before, during and

the family and community level recommendations directed to
government and non-government agencies?
To the Government officials, they only needed support for their projects
between the river that is called Operation Cleaning Campaign Bay.
Where they are responsible for cleaning the river, twice a week. For non-
government, a support to be disciplined between cleaning the area and
maintaining a clean river where citizens does not throw their garbage
anywhere.
