Sanitation would mean the cleanliness of the
hygienic measures of isolating surroundings in the
the hazards of barangay
wastes from human contact to
promote health. Wastes
generated by human beings
could be excreta,
urine, wastewater, solid
wastes, industrial wastes, and
agricultural wastes. These
wastes may contain
hazards, such as microbial
pathogens and hazardous
chemicals, which will be
detrimental to human
health if left uncontrolled.

b. Promote sanitary
measures

Rationale:
This is to reduce the risk of
people in acquiring many
diseases in the barangay, and
it also helps in maintaining the
surrounding by developing a
pit-emptying in disposing
wastes

c. Communicate with the

barangay to help in
checking the
functionality of the
sewerage systems

Rationale:
This is to know if the
communal sanitation facilities
are within its functionality and
to know if there are any
clogged wastes that can cause
the dysfunctionality of the
sewage system. To also be
able to maintain and reduce
disease burden as well as the
public health costs for better
sanitation.
