 Introduction
The Community Diagnosis is the foundation for improving and promoting the health of community members. The role of
community assessment is to identify factors that affect the health of a population and determine the availability of resources within the
community to adequately address these factors. It is the process of identifying the strengths, assets, needs and challenges of a specified
community. A community assessment is usually performed early in the development of a coalition to better understand the community
and decide how the partnership might best address the concerns of individuals, families and the community.

Barangay Canelar is the site selected for Community Diagnosis. Our aim is to develop the community utilizing the Community
Organizing Participatory Action Research Approach (COPAR). COPAR is a widely used framework in public health that aims to
empower marginalized communities by giving them opportunities to engage in the research process where they play an active role as
participants.

Due to the pandemic situation, we were not able to conduct the face to face integration and perhaps there are some critical activities
included in COPAR that will not be done. With this, the bulk of our data came from secondary sources.

With these limitations, we intend to help in the identification of their community health problems and recommend some
Community Health Action Plan that might be able to assist them to solve some obviously spotted community health problems.
 History
Barangay Canelar is one of the 98 barangays in Zamboanga City. The Barangay Canelar was the largest
barrio here in Zamboanga City before the enactment of the Local Government Code of 1996 with its boundary
lines in the east, the entire stretch of the Veterans Avenue expanding from the intersection of Tetuan up to
Tumaga intersection.

The term Canelar legend has it that once upon time, the barrio was the habitat of commercial trees known as
“Canela”.The Canela tree, also known as a Cinnamon Plant, is related to the culinary Cinnamon we know and
love. Hence, the Spanish Conquiscadores gave its official name as Canelar, and since then, the term Canelar
became a proverbial word.
Canelar is like down town Zamboanga City. Most of the best restaurants, hotels, night clubs and karaoke
bars are in Canelar.

The study gave us comprehensive information about the community's current
health status, needs, and issues. The Canelar Data was our source of information
that helped us to identify community health problems, identify nesessary services to be
rendered, establish functional strategies, and gave us foresight to identify the needs of
the community.

While doing Community Diagnosis Research as students, we helped to provide

health awareness and knowledge to the community regarding its health-seeking
behavior. Community have to focus more on preventing non-communicable diseases by
providing health education, an acess to clean water and sanitation service.
 XI. Recommendation
Above all Data Information, we would like to suggest to the Barangay Officials of
Canelar, health care providers to colaboration with agencies to conduct orientation,
seminar, campaign, health education, and awareness.

The Barangay Canelar for both individuals,household health can be seen to depend
not only on medical care but also on other factors including individual behavior and
genetic makeup, social and economic conditions. Communities should base a health
improvement process on a broad definition of health and a comprehensive conceptual
model of how health is produced within the community.
