their 2-year-old son Junmar Ebajan. The table also shows each member’s position in
the family, their relationship to the head of the family, their educational attainment,
their occupation, and place of residence.

A. Type of Family

The Ebajan Family is an extended type of family. An extended type of family is

an expansion of the nuclear family (parents and dependent children) (Britannica,
2007). Their family is composed of Mr. J (June Adlao), Mrs. M (Mariel Ebajan),
Mrs. MJ (Mary Jane Ebajan), and Mr. R (Rogelio Candare).They had their first
child, Child M, in 2016, and their second child, Child J, in 2019 who are both
raised in their current house.

City. Mr. J originally lived at Sirwan area and Mrs. M lived in the same area
where they are both currently living. The land that they live in is owned by the
father of Mrs. M, Mr. R.

C. General Family Relationships/ Dynamics

Each fulfills their responsibilities as a member of the family and seems quite
affectionate of one another. Mrs. M spends much time together with her two
children and parents, but Mr. J cannot due to his work of being a driver. Mrs. M’s
parents are most likely in home for safety and to avoid going in and out from the
house. Mrs. M would rather stay at home and sometimes sell her thrift clothes
due to the pandemic. When asked to describe each other they both speak highly
to each other and show affection to both of their children.

A. Dominant Family Member

In terms of authority, the Ebajan family is an egalitarian type of family. An

egalitarian family type is defined as the type of family that is based on authority,
where both partners and Mrs. M’s parents have the authority to decide on
matters. (Leahey, 2015). With this, it means that both Mr. J and Mrs. M and her
parents have the authority to make decisions. They both consider each other’s
opinion first before coming up with a final decision in any situation due to the
current situation that all people are facing which is the pandemic and which
includes decisions involving health care and financial expenses.
II. Socio-economic and Cultural Characteristics

truck driver where he earns Php 3,500.00 per month. Mr. R works for the
Barangay, garbage collector and earns Php 5,000.00 per month Both
breadwinners and the head of the family said they would spend their financial
budget on food and other necessities. Mr. J , Mrs. M and Mr. R are the ones
who will decide on how to spend their budget on electricity, food, medicines.
They spend Php 600.00 for the electricity, and Php 400.00 per day and Php
700.00 for other things such as medicine that are bought from the market.

sociable to other members of the community.

III. Home and Environment

A. Adequacy of Living Space

The family lives in a small cemented house with a wooden roof. It is in

close proximity to the neighboring houses resulting in poor ventilation.
The house includes three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room.

B. Food Storage and Cooking Facilities

Mr. R and Mrs. M do their grocery shopping at the local market close to
the highway whenever they want to. They don't have a refrigerator which
is used to store some of the easily perishable food such as meat and
vegetables, instead they buy canned foods. They also have tupperware
for the storage of foods and leftover foods, and a large pot (caldron) that
they utilize to cook and prepare their meals.

C. Water Supply
The only water source that is available for the family is the water
pump/tubig sa poso. They use large buckets for storing and using water
for washing, cooking, and drinking. The family had only one bathroom
with a toilet bowl and one sink, it is where they used to bathe, wash
hands or feet. Kitchen had only one sink which they used to wash dishes
and cook.

D. Presence of Breeding Sites and Accident Hazards

Breeding sites for mosquitoes are present inside and outside the family’s
house due to the presence of stagnant water that accumulated in plant
pots that aren’t properly drained. They are also present outside the house
due to the open canal where they throw their dirty or used water from the
pump and are exposed to the family and members of the community.

D. Garbage Disposal

Environmental sanitation is quite messy and dirty in the area due to mud
and other few littered trashes. Although the family’s sanitation is quite
good, they put their waste in a garbage bin with a sack and deliver it to
the Barangay.

House Drainage is not provided with the arrangement of several drain

pipes that collect and convey wastewater to drain into the domestic septic
tank. Instead, they only throw their used water from washing of plates

F. Kind of Neighborhood

Crossing bayabas, Toril, Davao City. There exists a GKK Sto. Nino
 chapel and basketball court that often holds volleyball/ basketball
matches and community gatherings, and the people in the neighborhood
are often friendly.

G. Health Facilities Available

The Ebajan family are very aware of the health facility, specifically Dr.
Quitos’ clinic, where they would rely on for their medical needs and
services. Mrs. M would often ask for medical information regarding a
family member’s current condition. The Ebajan family often avail in the
health facility for Child M, J and both of her parents to a doctor that will
cater to their health needs whenever one of their member’s health status
deviates.

that they would typically eat rice with vegetables or noodles. For dinner, they usually
have meatloaf, tinapa, and rice. They often buy canned food because they do not have a
refrigerator to keep them fresh. Their BMIs cannot be determined since they’re not
aware of their current height and weight, however, during the last visit to the health
center they stated that they were all determined to have a healthy weight.

C. Risk Factors Assessment

The family denies having any unhealthy habits or vices. Mr. R however is a
garbage collector which exposes him to hazardous materials that could otherwise
cause acquisition of diseases.

V. Values, Habits, Practices on Health Promotion, Maintenance and Disease Prevention

A. Immunizations

The Department of Health (DOH) in 2009 states that an infant who received one
dose of BCG, three doses each of OPV, DPT and Hepatitis B vaccines, and one dose of
measles vaccine before reaching one year of age is considered a fully immunized child
(FIC). Mr. J, Mrs. M, Mr. R and Mrs. MJ were fully vaccinated children. Child J and Child
M were both fully immunized children. As Mrs. M stated they have not yet been
vaccinated against covid, because they don't have time for vaccination. Although the
vaccination program is available in their area they still chose not to due to their
respective work.
 B. Use of Promotive-Preventive Health Services

Mrs. M and Mr. J take their family to their respective health center in which they acquire
health services such as vaccinations for their children and treatment for various
illnesses.
