Assignment: Problems in the Community and Potential Solutions

Problem 1: Low-Quality Public-Address System

Our barangay has poor-quality speakers that lack the sound range and fidelity needed
to deliver clear, high-quality audio for announcement broadcasts which means the sound isn't
clear or loud enough for everyone to hear properly. Sometimes, messages get all muffled or
sound weird, making it hard to understand what's being said.
Solution 1: Budget for new speakers or Seek donations/sponsorship - Allocate funds in the
barangay budget to purchase professional quality speakers and amplifiers that can provide
clear sound and adequate coverage. Approach businesses, NGOs, or government agencies to
request aid or sponsorship for new announcement equipment.
Solution 2: Repair/maintain existing units - Service faulty units, replace damaged parts, and
make temporary improvements to extend the life of current speakers. Diagnose issues causing
poor audio quality like buzzing, distorted sound, and humming. This may point to fixes like
soldering loose connections, replacing amplifiers, grounding, etc.

Problem 2: Busted Street Lights

Our community is lack of adequate street lighting creates safety hazards and enables
crime, accidents, and loitering. It limits nighttime activity, harms businesses, and fosters
isolation among residents. Sufficient street illumination is vital for community welfare and
should be a priority to keep our neighborhood safe and thriving.
Solution 1: Install solar-powered LED lights - Solar panels and LEDs can provide cost-
effective and eco-friendly street lighting without needing traditional grid connections.
Solution 2: Seek government funding - Petition at the barangay level or municipal agencies to
allocate a budget for installing street lights in the barangay.

Problem 3: Lack of Garbage Stations

In our neighborhood, the lack of garbage stations is a big issue. Without these
stations, it's tough for us to properly sort our trash. Instead of separating our waste as we
should, everyone ends up dumping everything together in the same bins or bags. This creates
a mess, especially when it's time for the garbage collectors to come around each week.
Solution 1: Procure more creative low-cost bins - The barangay should allocate funds to
purchase an adequate number of bins, either through government funding or contributions
from the community. In cases where funds are limited, creative solutions can be employed,
such as repurposing old drums or large plastic containers to make simple bins. These can be
painted and labeled accordingly to facilitate proper waste segregation. By investing in
sufficient bins and utilizing cost-effective alternatives, we can improve waste management in
our barangay while being mindful of budget constraints.
Solution 2: Enforce mandatory rules – Educate everyone about the importance of sorting,
reducing, and disposing of waste properly. We should promote recycling as much as possible.
There is also a need to enforce rules against mixing different types of waste and improper
segregation. Those who don't follow the rules could face penalties like community service,
such as cleaning the canals, or fines. These measures will help keep our neighborhood clean
and protect the environment for everyone.

quality public address systems, and inadequate waste management practices. They bear the

Educational Institutions: Schools and educational institutions can play a role in raising
awareness and educating residents, particularly students, especially about the importance of
waste management.
