Darna is 49 years old. She is the seventh sibling of the family. She has a long hair with
brown complexion. Darna is a shy type but can be seen having a cheerful personality.

Darna is a solo parent with two children living with her. She was separated from her
common-law husband for almost ten years. Despite of her situation, she still works as a farm
laborer with a monthly income of Php1, 500 in irregular basis. She is the only one who strives
to raise her children. Darna doesn't have educational attainment which results to low job
opportunities. When problem arises, she admits that she cannot sleep well and always thinking
on how to provide intervention to the problem.

B. Family

Darna and her two children are considered as informal settlers in the area. The lot is under
the ownership of a Muslim yet they build their own little house. The house was made up of light
materials. They don't have electricity and appliances, and sleep together in one room. They don't
have proper comfort room instead they disposed their stool at the river, and sometimes at their
backyard, digging soil. They used wood in cooking. Mostly their drinking water came from
"balon" and they used to take a bath and wash clothes at the river, with an estimated 115 meters
away from their home.

Darna was already separated from her common-law husband for almost ten years due to
other woman. The couple has eight (8) siblings, four (4) of them are presently living in Manila
while the other two had there owned family. Darna doesnt have any communication from his
live-in partner as well as her six children for the past 10 years.

The family have their meal once or twice a day because they don't have enough money,
instead of eating rice they just eat banana and other forms of starches. Sometimes, they just drink
coffee for their breakfast.

Presently, Darna is one of the beneficiaries of PANTAWID PAMILYANG PILIPINO

PROGRAM (4PS) and AQUINO HEALTH AGENDA (AHA-PHIC) for more than a year,
which is a big help for them in terms of health and education for her children and to uplift their
socio-economic condition. It was a great help to the family on the said program because her two
children are still studying in high school. But despite of the benefits they received still financial
problem exist because of increasing needs of the family, specifically in food supply. Darna also
received cow disproval from the government to augment their economic needs.

Members of the family never experience incident of neglect, abuse, or violence in home
and their community. The two children show respect to their mother and have a good relationship
to each other.
