PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
The client’s house is made of light scrap materials like
plywood, big carton boxes which they decorated with wallpapers. The
houses in the compound are clustered closely together with little
to no space. It is a small house with no windows. It is a small
space with a curtain that serves as a door near their house since
the house gets too hot during the day. They do not have their own
toilet and bath area; they use a common toilet and bathroom area in
the compound, wherein they pay a fee of 20 pesos and 10 pesos each
one bucket of water. The toilet bowl in the common bathroom does
not have a flush. The sources of water in the area are deep well
with a water pump and (NAWASA). They use the water from the deep
well to wash their dishes and their laundry. However, the student
nurse noticed that the water in the well has garbage floating in
it. She also noticed several big plastic bottles without cover that
scattered around the house that had rain water inside. They also
leave their used dishes soaked in a basin. Their source of
electricity is from the jumper cables connected to the electric
posts of Meralco. The family usually buys their food from the
eatery found in the area, but if they have the chance to cook, they
use a small LPG single burner gas stove. The passageway to the
house is filled with broken tiles which are purposely placed there
because the soil beneath it is soft and muddy that the feet sink
when it is stepped on. Presence of mosquitos, rats, and cockroaches
were observed.
As mandated by a city ordinance about disposing garbage
properly to their right place, Family Q do not practice this
segregation by placing their garbage into their specified
categories to avoid additional health problems in the family. But
among those that are found planted in cans there are lagundi,
oregano, ampalaya, pito-pito and tsaang gubat located beside their
house.
