BACKGROUND AND SETTING OF THE COMMUNITY

A. Historical Background

The Diangan natives were the early dwellers of the land, known for its dry surface and lack of
water, then when the water came, it overflowed bringing a spring of bountiful harvest. The ov
erflow of water rooted the origin of the name "Malagos" roughly translated from "Malakas na
Agos".

Early inhabitants were Diangans. Guiangans and the Bagobos engaged in planting fruits and c
rops. Around the third decade of the 19th century, settlers from Negros Occidental and Orient
al, also from Cebu and Bohol came. The barangay had its primitive government governed by
five datus, who were Datu's Tomas Salvosa, Dominador Antioquia, Josefino Oxales. Laurean
o Mosquite and Ambrosio Agad. In the early 1940's Davao City established a Plant Nursery i
n the barangay. In 1947, the first chapel was built in Purok 3A with Señor San Miguel as the
patron saint.

Investors from prominent families of Davao City started farming businesses bringing with the
m an influx of people. The first primary school was created around 1947. The first Health Ce
nter was built in 1949. Most of the developments came in the 1970's such as the entry of NA
WASA, Davao Light electrification and road concreting. A boost of tourism came upon the e
stablishment of the Malagos Garden Resort and the Philippine Eagle Conservation Park in 19
87.

older peoples.
 Child dependency ratio= (Population less than 15 years/ Population between 15-64) X 100

= (12/19) x 100

Family income

Family income is important for getting good education and good quality health care

facilities. It is also essential for getting proper regular health care facilities among the

households. In some families the income was observed to be a problem directly or indirectly
due

to the family size.

Poor regular check-up

A regular check-up is always needed for every family to make themselves sure that

they are good with their health conditions. Here All the 8 households had poor regular check

ups.

Participation in the sports activities

A good physic and regular exercise helps the body to maintain its normal, regular

metabolism. So every family need to be participate in some of the sports activities at least
once

in a week. Out of 8 households in the Barangay Bunawan, only 4 households participate in

the

sports activities.

Habit of Smoking

Many diseases or health conditions like hypertension, diabetes, cardiac conditions,

pulmonary conditions have smoking as their one of their risk factors. Here 3 households out
of 8

have the habit of smoking. But fortunately they didn’t have any conditions like hypertension.
But if the smoking continues, there is a high chance of getting hypertension, pulmonary and
cardiac

conditions.

Habit of consuming alcohol

Excessive alcohol consumption will lead to the development of chronic diseases such
 as hypertension, heart disease, liver diseases, stroke, cancer and digestive problems. Out of 8

households, 2 households consume alcohol along with smoking, which is a high risk factor.
