Situation 2
The Aetas of Camachile were among the victims of Mt. Pinatubo. Prior to the eruption in
1991, the resettlement was part of the area coverage of the small integrated development
approach of an NGO. This NGO is composed of young professionals who believe in holistic
approach in helping impoverished people in recognizing and exercising their power in
reshaping their destiny. The aeatas are traditionally knit. Being patriarchal, family

Situation 3
Peace and order used to be a major problem in the area in the 1960s to the late 1970s.
Outsiders dared not to visit for fear of getting into gang fights that constantly erupted
between the northern and southern side of the community. The north side used to know
as the "Visayas island named for the place of origin of its residents. The east side
residents came from different provinces dominated by Bicolanos. Along this divisions
when gangs have been formed to lead the defense and attack the member felt necessary.
Time, however, have apparently dulled differences and memory. The gang wars gradually,
disappeared. The youth of that period could now barely recall why animosity ran so high
nor why specific fight started.

Peace and order, however, did not cease to be a concern of the community. Petty crimes
against person and property, unruly drunks and rowdy parties and open gambling are kept
to a minimum by the tanod bayan (volunteer village guard). The Tanod bayan with about
100 all male volunteers, currently has at least 7 teams that takes turns in peace keeping
specially during late nights and early mornings. Team leaders are selected and authorized
by the barangay captain. The kabataang barangay, another youth organization have about
27 members that takes on one day a week of the barangay tanod's work. The later though
is not an evely active organization at some periods there are not enough volunteers to
take turns, timing out and causing enthusiasm of the more enthusiastic. Some attribute
these periods of inactivity to times when volunteers are fully employed. Other attribute it
to team leaders who do not know how to lead or relate well with members, in some cases,
there are tanod volunteers who do not want to work with each other but in any case, it is
one area of community work where male members of the community are required to be
visible and constantly active.

Situation 4
This urban poor community, in the early 1980's teamed with people house in makeshift
shanties. Its alleys are often times dark and muddy. Families were on hand to mouth
existence. Some were recipient from dole outs from better off relatives or from the
government. There were no community facilities such as health centers, day care
centers, barangay hall, chapel. Most houses tapped power connection from nearby
residences.

Situation 7
In the course of your work as a community organizer in an urban poor barangay, you found
out that there are several cases of abortion among mothers in the area. The mothers are
often between the ages of 25 to 35, and have already four or more children. According to
them, they resort to abortion because their family can ill-afford to have another member.
As it is, they only eat twice a day, sometimes once a day for the children (the priority is
the breadwinner).

The women are interested in family planning but have no extra money to buy
contraceptives. Saying no when their husbands want sex is out of the question because
they are often beaten when they refuse. The abortion through hilot is not safe; the women
also tell you that some of their neighbors have died due to complications. At the local
public hospital, you also found out that vaginal bleeding and infection is one of the most
common cases in the emrgency room. The medical personnel suspect it is from an
abortion and some doctors refuse treating women with this case.

27. As the social worker in the area which of the following will be
your primary consideration*
abortion as a crime
women’s health
attitude of the medical personnel toward abortion
welfare of the women’s families (domestic violence, child neglect)

28. Your organization is interested in developing a community-

based maternal health program. Based on the initial profiling, which
of the following needs further investigation?*
the rate of malnourished infants in the area
the mothers have committed the crime of abortion
domestic violence is prevalent in the area
poverty hinders access to contraceptives

29. Which among the following is likely to be the first step in

addressing the case presented?*
talking to the barangay health workers and the barangay captain
exploring the issue further with the mothers
conducting a community seminar on reproductive health
referring the women to DSWD

30. The women want to have access to family planning information

and services which are not available in the barangay. What may be a
good next step?*
pressure the barangay to provide these information and services
mobilize resources outside the community so the women can access the information and services
they need
lobby the city government to look into the situation of reproductive health in the community
none of the above – the strategies are too confrontational

31. The extreme poverty being experienced by the people in

Cagayan Valley caused by the past natural disasters particularly
typhoon Ulysses necessitates extensive rehabilitation work from both
government and non-government agencies. It is best to distribute
resources to the victims indiscriminately since the victims suffered
the same fate. As social workers do you think this service delivery
arrangement is right? Choose which statement is applicable.*
Yes, since they are all experiencing the same situation, poverty.
Yes, because resources and services are there and should be given to all.
No, there is a need to look into the individual situation of the victims for a more responsive
delivery of services
No, the scarcity of resources should discriminate who should be given and who should not be
given.

Situation 10
(excerpt from a documentation)

We had an informal interview with some of the residents, and they shared with us their
sad experiences. At present, they are still in the state of trauma, “Natatakot na po kami
kapag humahangin at maging sa patak ng ulan”, ayaw din po naming makita o pumunta sa
tabing dagat dahil sa takot na baka maulit muli ang nangyari”, those were the statements
of the people whom we have interviewed. The teacher told us that most of the children
were traumatized, and afraid of going into the ocean to play. To help overcome those
fears, the three social work students with a social worker brought the children along the
seashore. Socialization activities were conducted through different games in which the
children became excited. The children were asked to touch the water. At first, they were
so anxious, but later on they seemed to have overcome their fears. The teacher told the
group, “alam nyo po ngayon lang ulit sila naging masaya at ngumiti at parang nawala ang
takot.”
