 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Throughout the whole experience, the team has journeyed with people who exerted
continuous efforts and showed unwavering support in the realization of the project’s
objectives. Thus, the project “Renovation of Sto. Rosario Chapel’s Partitions, Information
Drive on Solid Waste Management, and Catechism” would not have been a success without
them. As such, the team would like to take this opportunity to express our sincerest
gratitude to the following:

To our Almighty God, who touched the hearts of the people behind the project’s
success and fuelled their desire to serve their fellowmen, and be men and women for
others. He has specifically called each and every one to a mission of touching hearts and
transforming lives. His eternal love and divine providence gave their hearts the strength and
courage to carry on amidst all the difficulties encountered along the way. The team gives
Him all the glory for without Him, all these would be impossible.

To Mr. Butch Samante, the team's NSTP 1 facilotator, each session you have
facilitated equipped them with the much needed knowledge that enabled them to continue
on the next phase of the NSTP journey. For this, they are forever grateful.

To Mrs. Eufemia Faller, the team's facilitator in the earlier phase of NSTP 2, they give
you the credit for aiding them in the initial steps of the project proposal preparation.

To Mr. Dyester Abo-abo, the facilitator for the rest of NSTP 2, the team is truly
grateful to you for your unending support and constant guidance. It was your enthusiasm
towards the idea of doing more for others that inspired them to not settle for what is
common or usual, for what is easy, for what is less than our best. You have greatly inspired
and encouraged them to not only do their share but to go the extra mile and to actually
make a difference in ways both great and small. You have inculcated in them the true
meaning of service to fellowmen.

To Mr. Julius Placer, who guided the team in the absence of Sir Dyester, they also
thank you sir. You have moved them into sincerely knowing the assigned community. You
have provided insights that allowed them to think the project thoroughly and create
reconsiderations to better carry out the project ideals.

To the team's amiable NSTP volunteer, Ate Ash Sinarimbo, your assistance was also a
vital part of the success. The team is grateful for having you as a companion.

1
 To Mr. Roy, the team's driver and companion every time they go to the community,
you have ensured them safe and sound travels. They also thank you for your patience and
consideration every time the group goes a little beyond the scheduled departure from the
community.

To Mr. Celerino Quijada, Ma’am Marylen, Ms. Chim Rose, and all the community
leaders, the team expresses their gratitude for your exemplary presence and assistance in
the implementation of our project. Since the beginning, you have consistently showed great
vigour as the project partner. Your efforts inspired them to be more and to do more for the
greater advancement of the community.

To the whole community members of GKK Sto. Rosario in Brgy. Dumoy, the group
tremendously appreciates their warm acceptance and hospitality. Their support and
participation in all of the activities and tasks prepared made the project implementation
relatively effortless.

To the beloved family and friends of the team members for their undoubting trust
that encouraged each member to carry on with our project despite the shortcomings. For
their unbounded support that provided much of the team’s financial needs, thank you.

To all those who were not specifically mentioned, your efforts are not in vain. The
team extends their most heartfelt gratitude for all of you have become a vital part in the
project’s success.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!

 INTRODUCTION

The GKK Sto. Rosario Community in Toril, Davao City has at most 60 families to
count. The people share a common place of worship, the Santo Rosario Chapel, located at
the heart of the community. The population consists mostly of children aged from 3 to 9.The
fathers of the families are gone as early as 6 in the morning every day to work on
construction sites nearby. The mothers tend to the vegetables which they later sell in the
public market. As to what they always say, they have been living simply.

After the initial analysis it was determined that the community's prevailing problem
was the condition of their chapel. Upon knowing this, the group immediately made it one of
their projects to aid in the repair. Although helping in the repair may have been enough, the
group did not end there. There were present issues within the community that haven’t been
addressed in the past. First, the children did not have much opportunity to enhance their
knowledge in catechism. They have been receiving catechism classes from their schools, but
the parents admitted that it was not proving to be very effective. Also, the families practice
improper waste disposal. A significant number admit to burning their garbage.

With these in mind, the group came up with two more projects, The Catechism for
the Kids project and The Solid Waste Management Program. The group was divided into
three subgroups that each had their own assignments adhering to the said projects. Every
Saturday, there were simultaneous implementation of the three. The children were taught
Catechism lessons in an interactive session, the houses were visited one by one to check
their waste disposal practices, and the chapel was being repaired and painted.

In a matter of 5 Saturdays, the group proved themselves successful in all three

projects. The last two Saturdays were spent for the culmination activity and the evaluation.
The responses received from the leaders and the community itself were positive. Close
relationships with the community, especially with the children, were also established.
Truthfully, it wasn’t easy for the group to finish their projects for it meant farewell.

It wasn’t just the community that benefited from the said activities. The group, Unus
Communitati, learned how the simplest things in life are enough to accomplish happiness
and contentment. They have nurtured their Ignatian spirituality. Their inclination to serve
others increased. The whole program made them examine the strings of their heart. They
weren’t there to just help the community, they were also there for the community to help
them see who they really ought to be— persons for others.

 PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Conceptualization of the Project

After a thorough deliberation of the findings in our social analysis of the Sto. Rosario
Community, Team Vivi and Friends and Team Sesame Street found almost the same areas
that need intervention. With this, both teams decided to merge and pool funds in their
common goals for the betterment of the community. The merged group was then named,
Unus Communitati or One Community in english.

Firstly, leaking roofs and damaged ceilings were noticed. The group found out that
the chapel was not a conducive place to commune and pray anymore. The chapel needed
renovation.

Also, the team found the inappropriate waste disposal that was prevalent in the
community. This kind of malpractice could be a threat to their ground water table (which
was their main water source both for drinking and daily activities). Thus, Unus Communitati
decided to intervene and conduct an information drive on solid waste management.

Lastly, with the sharing of the president of the chapel that the children in the
community tend to loiter around during weekends, the students wanted to utilize their free
time. The catechism modules were then formulated.

Planning and Visualization of the Project

After the project was finally conceptualized, the team visualized and asked
the community leaders’ opinions regarding the project feasibility. They underwent various
preparatory measures to ensure the effective and efficient project implementation. They
devised activities and strategies, and considered expected outputs for the duration of the
project implementation. This would aid them in carrying out the project objectives.
Subgroups were created to better manage the necessary tasks. A time schedule was also
fashioned to maximize the allotted time.

4
Project Implementation

With the allotted five consecutive Saturdays to fully implement our project, Unus Comunitati
team was generally successful in meeting their objectives:

(1) To renovate the chapel’s roof and ceiling, and paint the unpainted areas. The
team aimed to accomplish these tasks within the allotted five Saturdays. This
gave assurance to the people that they will be safe from water leaking during
rainy days and it will serve as an ornament to beautify the look of the chapel.
(2) To enrich the children’s knowledge on the basic principles of the Christian faith,
teach them as early as now about the importance of the environment, and
provide inputs on the basics of Solid Waste Management.
(3) To raise the awareness of the people regarding the importance of proper waste
management. It also aimed to provide basic knowledge about Solid Waste
Management, introduce to them the concept of re-using, reducing and recycling
waste materials, and offer ideas or ways to actualize the Solid Waste
Management Program.

Such objectives were not through the various stages of the project execution as
planned in the team’s project proposal. The actual effecting of the project proposal is
highlighted as follows:

 January 17, 2015 - Endorsement of materials for renovation and SWMP

Seminar

The team transported the materials from school to the community. Upon
arriving, the team endorsed the materials needed for renovation to the PSK Leader,
Mr. Celerino Quijada. The team also conducted Solid Waste Management Seminar to
the people in the community. Through this, the awareness of the people regarding
the importance of proper waste management was raised and they were
supplemented with ideas on how to re-use, reduce and recycle.

 January 24, 2015 – Catechism Session, Painting Walls and House-to-House

Visit

On this day, the team was divided into three subgroups. The renovation team
was able to partially paint the exterior side walls of the chapel. The team catechism

5
 was able to conduct the 1st Catechism session which was all about God’s creation and
God’s love. Moreover, name tags were given to the kids who attended the said event
and snacks were provided to them. The advocacy team was also able to conduct
house-to-house visit to promote solid waste management and to follow up whether
the people applied their learnings on the last week’s seminar.

 January 31, 2015- SWMP House to house monitoring, Catechism session 2

and painting of the chapel

The whole team was looking forward for the third Saturday of field work.
When we arrived at the community, we were greeted by the cute and warm smiles of
the kids eagerly waiting for their second session of catechism. While we conducted
the catechism, simultaneously, the renovation team proceeded to the painting of the
chapel’s exterior side walls. Moreover, the advocacy team carried on with the house
to house monitoring to see to it that the members of the community will apply
whatever was taught during the seminar. The kids were taught of new songs and
different activities which were in relation to the module for that day. Instead of
outsourcing for snacks the grub team decided to make arrangements to some people
in the community with regards to the preparation of snacks. It would be helpful for
them since they will generate an additional income through it. All in all, it was
considered as another successful day because a lot were accomplished.

 February 7, 2015 – SWMP House-to-House monitoring, Catechism Sessions 3 & 4,

and Chapel Clean-up

On this day, Sir Placer, the team’s substiture facilitator, went with them. The
catechism, SWMP and chapel renovation team continued in doing their tasks. The
catechism team merged the last 2 modules on the same day, module 3 - ―Si Maria,
Inahan ni Hesus‖ and the module 4 - ― Si Hesus, Diyos Alang Kanato‖ since the
following Saturday, Feb 14, will be the culmination. The SWMP team, again, went
house-to-house to check if they have done their segregation of wastes. The
renovation team cleaned the chapel and had their finishing touches because they
already finished painting the chapel by that time.

6
 February 14, 2015- Culminating Activity

It was a big day for us and also for the community. As we were having the
road trip to the area, despite the last-minute practice for our special number, all of
us were very excited and full of positive energy. Of course we were pretty much
confident that the day would end well because a lot were prepared by the members
for the special event. As we arrived, not only the cute little faces but also the warm
smiles of the elderlies welcomed us. Immediately we started decorating the place in
order to make the ambiance more festive. There were games, and activities which
we all enjoyed. Special messages were also given by the leaders of the community
and leaders of the group as well. Prizes were given to the kids who participated and
excelled in the activities given during the catechism and also to those community
members who willingly responded to the call for a greener and cleaner community.
We were also surprised by the special numbers given by the kids. All in all it was a
day well-spent.

 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND COPING MECHANISMS
Problems Encountered
1. We departed late because we had
difficulty in finding our assigned PUJ.
2. We were not able to interact with the
members of the community on the
first day of fieldwork.
3. We depart from the school premises
long after our scheduled time due to
some of the members arriving late.
4. Apart from departing late from school
premises, we also depart late from
the site due to lack of time
awareness. Oftentimes, the time
taken by the activities are either too
long or too short. Our estimate of the
time consumed by each activity
seems to be not on the mark.
5. Some of the families of the houses
were not around when visited by
those assigned to the SWM group.
6. The houses to be visited by the SWM
group members are spaced far apart.
7. At the time we were at Sto. Rosario,
the carpenters were not there,
therefore we were not able to assist
them as we had planned.
8. Due to time constraints, those
assigned to work on the renovation of
the chapel were not able to finish
their respective tasks.
9. One Saturday, four (4) of our
members were not given leave to go
to the site, due to incomplete
requirements. We were short on
manpower.
10. The facilitator assigned to accompany
our group constantly changes.
How problems were addressed
1. We worked together to locate our
assigned PUJ.
2. We obtained the information we
needed through the Pangulo sa
Apostolado (PSA).
3. Though waiting for our late members
impairs our schedule, we still wait for
them, since we believe that
manpower is our priority.
4. We tried our best to mind the time.
However, this problem was not
ultimately solved by the group
members throughout the time we
visited the site.
5. The SWM group members returned to
the empty houses the following week
after requesting the neighbors of the
absent families to inform them of
their visit.
6. The SWM group members divided
themselves into smaller groups to
cover more ground.
7. Since we were not there when the
carpenters worked on the renovation
of the chapel, we opted to make sure
instead that they had all the
materials they needed as well as
provided the funds for their
refreshments, leaving the funds and
materials with Mr. Celerino Quijada.
8. Those assigned to work on the
renovation asked the community to
continue the unfinished portions. The
community agreed, and by the
second week of the field work, the
renovation of the ceiling was done.
The renovation team painted the
walls.
9. The sixteen members were shuffled.
The assignments of the members
were changed (valid for that week
only).
10. We adapted to each facilitator, even
though their personalities greatly
vary.

 ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION

After the completion of the Unus Communitati’s ―Renovation of Sto. Rosario Chapel’s

Partitions, Information Drive on Solid Waste Management, and Catechism‖ projects, the

group conducted analysis and evaluation on the implementation of the projects, the

community, and the group. In addition, they also made the stakeholders answer an

evaluation form with questions which encompassed the whole of the projects.

Essentially, the analysis and evaluation were done to assess the totality of the

projects. Moreover, the analysis details the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and

threats, and the evaluation gives an overview of the group projects’ success, especially on

meeting the expectations.

On Conduct of Evaluation and its Computation

The Unus Communitati conducted an evaluation answered by 41 respondents (with

the breakdown in the previous page). Some questions were not answered by other

respondents since those do not apply to them.

The respondents were asked to rate the questions from 5-1, with 5 as the highest.

The rating is computed similarly to academic grades.

Project Implementation Evaluation

As a whole, the projects received high ratings. Thus, it can be inferred that the

respondents deemed the projects successfully implemented. Additionally, among the three

named projects, Renovation of Chapel’s Partitions garnered the highest average rating,

followed by the Catechism for Kids, with the Solid Waste Management Program rated least

but still with a high average rating.

Sto. Rosario Community Evaluation

The expected attendance and participation of the community may not have been

met, but were still impressive. The attendance of the children during Catechism was

overwhelming, which more than made up for the only mildly satisfactory participation of the

households in the Solid Waste Management Program.

Unus Communitati Evaluation

The stakeholders, represented by the respondents, considered the group members

approachable, friendly, easy to work with, prepared and coordinated in every field work, and

have the spirit and passion in serving the community. Therefore, the NSTP successfully

guided the Unus Communitati towards what they wanted us to be.

12
 RECOMMENDATIONS

To the next batch of students to be assigned in Sto. Rosario, the team highly recommends
the following:

Project Implementation
Unus Communitati evidently succeeded in enhancing the enthusiasm and
participation within the community. Thus, it is highly recommended that the following group
reach, if not, surpass the magnitude of effort and willingness that the Unus Communitati
presented.
According to credible observations, the community is intensely unified when it comes
to the welfare of the children. With this in mind, the primary target beneficiaries must be
the youth. Stemming from these youth-oriented projects would be adequate support and
willingness from the adults. This then would encourage suggestions from the community
itself for more possible projects.
Assessment of the community’s disposition must be done before the formal
implementations of the projects. Familiarity with the community’s area plan and population
statistics is very much encouraged.
This could set a scope and limitation amidst a wide array of programs that are likely
to be implemented. It would give ideas to the students as to how they would handle the
community.

Group
The attendance of each member is very much needed. The more members present
during the project implementation, the faster the team will finish the task for the day. If
possible, the group members should arrive in school early so that the time dedicated for the
community will not be wasted by just waiting for the group members.
Also, as much as possible, the group must not shell out personal money for the
project implementation. Thus, it is highly encouraged to conduct fund-raising activities
instead to compensate for the expenses of the projects.

Community
The community should be able to continue the projects and programs that the group
has started in the vicinity. This means that even though the group is no longer in their
premises to monitor their progress, the community should be able to sustain their
commitment to those projects and programs.

 RATIONALE

In every aspect of life, there will always be a binding force that keeps everything in order.

Therefore, to maintain and improve something, one must focus on solidifying the foundation—

the binding force.

According to the initial survey and research, The Santo Rosario Chapel in Barangay

Dumoy, Talomo District has always been a small yet striving community. The residents‘ daily

income mainly depend on their crops. Literacy is high, with almost all the children attending

public schools. Community health has never been a big issue. Cooperation in Parish Activities is

fine to some extent. Altogether, the community can be described as satisfactory.

However, it is always a necessity to fix small hitches, take preventive actions, and

consider innovation. Relative to what was stated earlier, the greatest foundation of the

community is its faith. From this, all else follows. Therefore, to facilitate assistance and support,

it is just right to start on the strengthening of their faith in God.

“A community that prays together, stays together.‖ A community must exhibit

cooperation and willingness in order to stay as a community. It must have a place to commune,

not only with the Lord, but also with their neighbors. Through the existence of a strong praying

community, the basic values of love, concern for others, and fear of the Lord are exhibited and

established.

First, it was discovered that the catechism modules which were paid for were never

utilized. This then commended the team to put this modules to use in form of Catechism Classes.

These classes will target the youth— the children of the community.

4
After discussing with the GKK leaders, the team learned that the public schools provide the

children with catechism classes, but these classes are deemed insufficient. It is the team‘s goal to

make these classes comprehensive and enjoyable at the same time. Through this, it is expected

that the children‘s knowledge on their religion will be enriched. Hopefully, proper morals and

values will be their basic guidelines in understanding and living their lives.

Second, the chapel is partially damaged due to physical wear and tear, and obsolescence.

Water leaks from the roof and creates unwanted pools of water inside the chapel. This disrupts

events held in the chapel such as masses and “Kasaulugan sa Pulong” (KSP) activities. The

parts directly affected by the water leakage, especially the ceiling, are getting more and more

damaged. In line with this, Unus Comunitati collaborated in an endeavor to renovate certain

partitions of the chapel. The partial renovation and beatification of the chapel aims to venerate

the sanctity of the place. Also, it aims to provide comfort to the people who regularly use the

chapel.

Lastly, the solid waste management program in the community seems to be

dysfunctional. Some dispose waste through burning, while some dump their waste someplace

else. The designated garbage bins provided by the local government has been missing for years

already, and the request for new ones is taking too long to process. If a community is strongly

bonded by their faith, concern for each other‘s‘ welfare is a natural manifestation. Health is a

major issue that is directly affected by poor waste management disposal. Thus, the team decided

to give Solid Waste Management seminars intended to educate the adults of the community. This

will be in line with their apprehensions and concerns as a community. Moreover, it will prevent

possible diseases and help in preserving the balance of nature.

The three proposed programs are to serve its purpose of building and maintaining a

strong praying community— a community of faith and love. 5

 PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The project intends:

 To renovate the chapel‘s roof and ceiling, and paint the unpainted areas. The team aims to

accomplish these tasks within the allotted 5 Saturdays. This gives assurance to the people

that they are safe from water leaks during rainy days and it serves as an ornament to

beautify the look of the chapel.

 To raise the awareness of the people regarding the importance of proper waste

management. It also aims to provide basic knowledge about SWM, introduce to them the

concept of re-using, reducing and recycling waste materials, and offer ideas or ways to

actualize the SWMP.

 To enrich the children‘s knowledge on the basic principles of the Christian faith, teach

them as early as now about the importance of the environment, and provide inputs on the

basics of SWM.

EXPECTED OUTPUT

After rendering service for 5 Saturdays, the group expects:

a. New roof and ceiling installed

b. No dripping of water when rain falls

c. Fully painted walls of the chapel (the external sides)

d. Increased awareness of the people (including the children) regarding SWM

e. Enriched children‘s knowledge on the Christian faith

f. Cleaner surrounding

6
 ACTIVITIES AND STRATEGIES

To realize the objectives, the project will make use of the following activities and strategies:

 Solicit funds by using solicitation letters duly approved to be disseminated by the CWTS-

NSTP office. If such raised fund cannot finance the project, team members are ready to

make some monetary contributions for its fulfillment.

 Divide members into subgroups to be assigned in renovation, painting of walls, cleaning,

documentation, advocacy campaign, catechism and feedback gathering.

 Coordinate with Mr. Celerino Quijada, the Pangulo sa Katilingban, for carpenters or

persons to work on the repair of the roof and ceiling. A fair honorarium would be given to

them.

 Ask the assistance of Mr. Quijada in obtaining permission from the private owner to use

the covered court for the SWM advocacy campaign and catechism.

 Coordinate with the GKK leaders, especially with the Pangulo sa Pagtudlo, regarding the

modules or inputs for the catechism.

 Maintain the motivation of the people working on the renovation and advocacy campaign

by providing snacks and refreshments.

 Maintain the children‘s active participation through creative session (e.g. incorporating

games) and providing snacks.

 Distribute and provide leaflets during the solid waste management campaign to provide

the people with simple visual presentation of what we are talking about.

 Assign members to randomly ask the inhabitants if ever the team is making a significant

contribution or not, if they agree to what we are doing.

7
 IMPORTANT ASSUMPTIONS

On the whole duration of the implementation of the project, from the procurement of materials to

the final activity, the group assumes the following:

 Full participation and cooperation of the members, as well as the locals in the realization

of the proposed project.

 Provision of modules for the catechism by the GKK‘s PSP a week before the scheduled

session.

 Use of the covered court for the SWM avocacy campaign and catechism.

 Proper utilization of fund and materials in order to avoid the draining of the contingency

fund. The contingency fund is set aside for emergencies. To maximize it the team must be

effecient and careful in their tasks. Specially in the painting, painters must be aware of

the needed amount and thickness of paint to be applied for us not to arrive in any

shortage.

 The transporting of materials will be taken care of by the hired jeepney in order to reduce

the transporation costs.

 In the event when rain falls, the solid waste management campaign (on the first Saturday)

and the catechism (on the remaining 4 Saturdays) will still be pushed through in the

covered court. The renovation however will cease, if the one repaired is still the roof, and

will comemence when the rain stops or the worker may continue doing the job even when

it is not Saturday.

 Efficient use of time so as to avoid delay in the construction progress.

 Since 2 groups have merged, the whole team is quite bigger in number having 20

members. Despite the possible difficulties that will take place brought about by a big group, we

are going to use this to our advantage. We have divided the group into 4 (four) committees, each

of which are focused on the key aspects of our project. The Renovation Team will be in charge of

overseeing the chapel renovation. Their task is to assist and see the needs of the carpenters, and

help in the repainting. The team has its subgroup, The Purchasing Committee, who will take care

of the purchasing of the materials to be used in the chapel renovation. Second, the Advocacy

Team, is assigned to organize the mini lecture that would be prepared for the community. They

are also in charge of the design and printing of the leaflets. Third, the Grub will focus on the

provision of snacks for the people who will work hand in hand with us in the completion of the

project, and for the participants of the programs. Lastly, the Team Catechism, will be the persons

responsible for the preparation of the necessary materials, and provision and presentation of

inputs to the children for the 4 catechism sessions.

Each committee has facilitators that would lead each committee to guarantee effective

communication and to encourage cooperation. In addition, several members are assigned per

team to assist their facilitators in making sure that each activity that they are assigned to handle

would run smoothly.

 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The team will monitor the process of the project by maintaining a feedback system where

each member has to report to the team leader, the overseer, the progress of their specific tasks.

The team leader is then obligated to report to the members the general progress of their project.

To establish this feedback system, the group shall have a short meeting every after NSTP class to

give inputs on the development or implementation of the project. The meeting will serve as an

avenue for the group to wrap things up regarding the tasks that have been accomplished and what

is yet to be accomplished in the next session. During the meeting, the filling-out of the Weekly

Activity Report shall be done, so with the Action Plan for the following session. Communication

with the project partner is also vital in monitoring the work done. The team leaders or the

assigned members shall constantly communicate with the GKK leader before leaving the

community to update him with progress and discuss problems if there are any. There shall also be

documentations of the chapel before, during and after the project was worked in the allotted five

Saturdays. This shall be taken care of the assigned member. The documentation will aid in the

assessment during the weekly meeting to be done every after NSTP class.

Mga Sayon na Pamaagi para sa Mas Hapsay na Panginabuhi

1. Bawasi ang paggamit sa mga plastik bag o cellophane.

2. Gamita ug balik ang mga bildo na sudlanan.
3. I-recycle ang mga butang. Ibaligya sa junk shop ang pwede mabaligya.
4. Ihatag ang mga sanina na dili na masigo.
5. Ilabay ang mga basura sa tamang butanganan.
6. I-repair o ipa-ayo ang mga appliance o gamit sa balay kaysa mupalit ug
bag-o.
7. Likayi ang paggamit ug mga plastik na botilya.
8. Respetuha ug ipreserba ang kinaiyahan o palibot.
9. Awhaga ang uban na mupuyo sa panginabuhing tama tama lang.

Unsa ang relasyon sa basura sa climate change o pagbago sa atong klima?

Dili lang nimu mabantayan apan daghan epekto ang basura sa atong klima. Ang mga

butang na imung ginagamit o ginapamalit sa matag adlaw nagadungag sa tapok sa basura na

nagagawas ug greenhouse gases sa hangin. Ang methane usa ka klase sa greenhouse gas nga

nagagikan sa pagkalata sa sa mga basura. Ang carbon dioxide usa pud na greenhouse gas nga

gikan sa pagsunog sa fossil fuel.

Mas daghan na basura, mas daghan na greenhouse gases. Mas daghan na greenhouse

gases mas mu-alimuot ang atoang paminaw sa palibot. Ang mas grabe na kainit ug kaalimuot sa

palibot magresulta sa mga pabag-o bag-o na klima ug pirting kusoga na bagyo. Tungod sa

paspas kaayo na pagbago sa klima, mas magkaproblema ang mga tao sa ilahang kahimsug,

pagkaon ug panimalay.

16
Unsaon pagpagamay sa kadaghan sa imuhang basura?

Nakatuon na ka sa alpabeto ug unsaon pag-ihap, karon dapat ka na pung magtuon kung

unsaon ang 3Rs o reduce, reuse ug recycle.

Reduce

Ang pulong na ―reduce‖ o gamayun, nagpasabot na dapat gamyan ang kadaghanun sa usa

ka butang.

Pareha ng – Gamayun ang kadaghan sa gamiton na selopin para malikayan ang mas

daghan na basura.

Ang pag-‗reduce‘ o gamyun ang kadaghan sa usa ka butang, mao ang unang dapat

buhaton sa pagdumala sa basura. Sa imong paggamay sa kadaghanun sa imong paliton,

nagamyan usab ang kadaghan sa basura. Mao kini ang listahan sa mga pwede nimo i-reduce ug

ngano dapat mulikay ka niani.

 Ayaw pagkaon ug ‗bubble gum‘. Halos tanan niani kay gibuhat gamit ang

polyisobutylene nga mao usab ang gigamit sa pagbuhat anang ‗rubber‘ sa ligid sa

sakyanan. May pa ug magkaon ug prutas ug gulay.

 Ayaw pagsayang sa paggamit ug papel. Kailangan ug isa ka dako na punuan para

makabuhat ug sobra singkwenta ka kilo na papel. Para mapreserba ang

kinaiyahan labi na ang mga punuan, tipiron ang paggamit sa papel.

 Likayi ang paggamit sa mga plastic na botilya. Sa imong paggamit ug usab niani

kay naay mga makahilo na kemikal nga makasira sa imong lawas. Maayo pa ug

mugamit ug baso o tasa.

Undangi ang pagpalit ug mga butang na dili jud nimo kinahanglan. Kung mas daghanun

nimo imong paliton, mas mudaghan ang basura.

 Mga dapat bawasan ug gamit Mga dapat usabon ug gamit

plastic na botilya basurahan na selopin

pambalot sa pagkaon panglima ka galon na botilya sa tubig

Reuse

Ang paggamit pa‘g usab ang ikaduhang lakang/ang-ang sa pagdumala sa mga basura.

Pinaagi sa paggamit pa‘g usab sa mga labayunon, mamahimo ang pagpagamay sa mga basura.

Daghang pwedeng himoon sa mga butang nga labayunon o mga wala na‘y gamit:

 Himoon butanganan ug kandila ang mga botilya nga wa na‘y sulod.

 Gunting-guntingon ang mga karton aron himoong sulatanan.

 Gamiton pang project sa mga bata ang karton sa tissue.

 Pagwapuhon ang mga wala‘y gamit nga lata ug gamiton sa paghan-ay sa mga

gamit sa balay.

Recycle

Ang ―recycle‖ nagpasabot sa paggamit ug usab sa mga basura ug uban pang butang

pagkahuman kini mapuslan.

Example: Akong tun-an ang pagrecycle ug mga papel sa balay.

Ang ―recycling‖ o ang pagrecycle mao ang kinatapusang lakang sa 3Rs. Pinaagi sa

recycling, ang mga butang magamit labaw pa sa ilang angayng paggamitan. Pinaagi usab sa

recycling, mugamay-gamay o makuhaan usab ang mga basura sa nga atong ipanglabay. Ania

ang pipila ka mga paagi sa pagrecycle:

18
 Pagbaligya sa mga karaang mantalaan o newspaper, mga botilya ug mga bakal

ngadto sa mga Junk Shops.

 Pagpalit ug mga produkto nga sama usab sa mga recycled nga materyales sama sa

papel.

 Pagrecycle ug mga papel sa inyong panimalay. Ania ang mga pamaagi sa

pagrecycle ug papel:

1. Pangolekta ug mga ginamit na nga mga papel.

2. Gagmay-gagmaya kini gamit ang gunting.

3. Ibutang ang mga ginunting nga papel sa usa ka balde nga adunay

tubig ug pasagdi kini sa sulod sa isa ka oras.

4. Gamit ang screen o lapad nga strainer, patulua ang hinumol nga

mga papel.

5. Ibulad kini aron mauga ug maayo.

 Pagrecycle ug mga lata sa inyong panimalay. Ania ang mga pamaagi sa

pagrecycle ug lata:

1. Mugamit ta ug produkto nga ginama sa lata o tin can.

2. Ilabay kini sa basurahan alang sa mga ―recyclables‖ kauban ang ubang
lata
3. Kolektahon ang mga lata aron dalhon sa us aka recycling facility
4. Gagmay-gagmayon ang mga lata
5. Painiton ang mga lata hangtod malanay
6. Human pormahon kini aron makahimo ug bag-ong lata
7. Sudlan ug ilimnon ug ubang produkto ang lata aron ibaligya ug usab.

19
Composting

Usa ka pamaagi sa paghipos sa basura mao ang paggamit sa mga malata nga basura nga

pataba sa lupa.

Ang pinakasayon nga proseso sa composting mao ang Food Bucket Composting. Para

mabuhat kini nga proseso, mahimong mag-andam ug balde o maski unsang pwede mabutangan

sa mga leftovers sama sa panit sa prutas o gulay ug butangan kinig lupa. Ang bacteria ug ulod

mao ang mutabang aron mamahimo kini nga pataba sa lupa. Ang maong lupa pwede maggamit

sa mga garden.

Listahan sa mga basura nga pwede gamiton sa composting

 Gikan sa kusina:

- karton sa itlog
- toothpicks
- barbecue sticks
- panit sa prutas o gulay

 Gikan sa palibot sa balay:

- laya nga dahon

- sanga-sanga sa kahoy
- patay nga mga tanom
- laya nga bulak

APPENDIX D: Community Profile

Community Name: Sto. Rosario

Address: Barangay Dumoy, Talomo
Landmarks: Shell Gasoline Station & Dumoy Water Supply System
Means of Transport: Motorcycle
Population:
Number of Families: 60+
Average Family Size: 5

Community Background / History

One interviewee was able to share that the area was once a mangrove. However, during
the japanese occupation, it was filled with land which explains how it came to be what is now a
residential area. What the place was before, however, is still evident because the land is very
fertile and loamy. This is actually advantageous for them because it allowed them to turn
unoccupied areas into vegetable gardens.

Based on the data we gathered, we can infer that the community has existed for quite a
long period of time. According to one of our interviewees, who was already in a fatherly age, he
remember staying and growing up in the said area since the 1970s.

The residents of our adopted community came from different provinces and are members
of different tribes. The number of early settlers was no more than 30 families, but the community
has now grown with 60+ families. We interviewed several families and figured that some of
them are indigenous people. The tribes that were mentioned were bagobo, manobo and lumad.

25
Community Description

The place is quite underdeveloped compared to its neighbouring villages. The houses are
quite dispersed all over the large amount of land they have.

Most of them sell the vegetables that they individually planted in markets downtown.
Clearly, most of the land area is used for agriculture. Aside from this, there isn‘t actually much
economic activity in the area. We all know that Davao is already urbanized but this place seems
to have stayed rural.

Sources of Information

The area, although rural, is not actually that far flung so telecommunication is accessible
to them. Devices for communication include television, radio, cell phones and the like. Through
these, they remain aware of the national and local events. With regards to information
dissemination of the messages from their local government, the barangay, it is done by word of
mouth. Barangay officials go from house to house to inform the residents about the projects that
might be of help to them.

Utilities

The inhabitants of the community fetch their daily supply of water from the water
pump/artesian provided by the barangay. Each water pump/artesian well however provides water
not only to one family but to a group of 6-10 families.

The families in the community, in addition, although not all, have legal access to
electricity. Most households in the community, especially those situated far from the main road
are illegally connected to the electric lines of the neighbouring houses.

26
 Transportation, on the other hand, is one of the problems of the community. Public utility
vehicles (e.g. tricycles and pedicabs), especially at night, are scarce in the area due to the, as said
by one resident, ―aswang‖ that lurks in the area. Due to the limited access to PUVs, the only
means of transportation in the locality are personal vehicles (e.g. motorcycle) and by foot.

The scarcity of public transportation contributes to their problem in procuring food and
other necessities. Residents tend to be forced to buy most of their basic needs, aside from fruits
and vegetables which abound in the area, in bulk because of the insufficiency of public transport
services.

Despite their situation regarding water and electric supply, however, telecommunication
and hygienic toilets are accessible to the residents of the community.

Educational Facilities

There aren‘t many schools near the community. According to one of our interviewees,
there are two elementary schools accessible to the residents, the nearer one is located along the
highway and can be reached by the residents through PUJs. For the high school though, the
nearest school available is situated in Toril and is quite far from the community.

Environmental Appraisal

Although it is located near an urban area, the residents still practice a rural way of life.
The environment is like a typical rural area with trees or plants covering most of the land area.
The lands are utilized more for agricultural purposes than for infrastructure. As evidenced by the
abundance of agricultural produce such as kangkong and mangoes, we can infer that the natural
resources are well-utilized in the area.

Though the natural resources are well-utilized, we don‘t think that it is preserved and
conserved well. The people there seem to have neglected practicing proper waste management.
According to a resident, trucks that collect trashes do not actually reach their place. 27
This may be due to the fact that the place is not that accessible to large trucks because of the
narrow and uncemented roads. They have not also made an effort to remedy this problem. Some
people just burn their garbage, some throw it elsewhere, and some burry it underground. The
effects of these may not be noticeable now but it will be in the long run. In order to preserve and
conserve the natural resources abound in the area, people should be aware on how to properly
manage their waste, and they should also lobby this dilemma to their barangay. This issue should
not be taken lightly for it can greatly damage the blessing of environmental wealth that they have
now. It should be acted upon for them to continuously reap and enjoy the benefits brought about
by nature.

Health Information

According to one of our interviewees, the residents are susceptible to dengue fever and
malaria that even her own daughter has been affected by the former. This may be due to the fact
that during rainy seasons, water tends to accumulate in some areas. This stagnation becomes
suitable breeding places for these disease-carrying mosquitoes.

In response to the health concerns of the people, the barangay reaches out to the
grassroots of the community to provide health services. Medicines for common illnesses like
fever are provided and distributed to the households. The health center is also very accessible to
the people since it is located near the community. Medical missions like dental check-up and
vaccination for the kids are some of the services offered to the people.

Socio-Cultural Information

The community is diverse in terms of social and cultural aspects with a fraction of the
community coming from the Bilaan tribe, another from the nearby regions such as Compostella
Valley and Tagum, and another fraction from other tribes. The common tongue used by the
residents is Bisaya.

28
Socio-Economic Information

The residents took into advantage the large land area and the type of soil it has. Ideally,
the main source of income for the people lies in agriculture. Exploring the area, it can clearly be
seen that a large fraction of the agricultural land was utilized for the cultivation of kangkong.
This is because the fertile / loamy soil is very suitable for such produce. After harvest, these are
then sold in markets downtown either in the form of wholesale or retail. There was also a large
portion of land for mangoes. However, these aren‘t the property of the residents. But they do get
a share of the income (if they are the ones tapped for spraying) with a 70% and 30% ratio for the
owner and the labor force, respectively. The income they get from producing and selling crops
may not be enough to support some families. A few number works as employees or construction
workers.

Political Information

The purok or the community is part of Barangay Dumoy and is under its jurisdiction.
Internally though, they have formed a governing cluster of their own headed by the GKK
(Gagmayng Kristohanong Katilingban) leaders. Acting as the head, Mr. Celerino Quejada aka
Tatay Jun is one of the known and influential people of the community. His position allowed him
to better reach out to the community since it is located far from barangay hall. The barangay
officials, on the other hand, exert effort in order disseminate various information to its people
especially for the programs organized by the national government (e.g. vaccination, dental
check-up).

Religious Information

Exploring the area, we have noticed the absence of other churches. The only place of
worship we saw was the Sto. Rosario Chapel. Another thing is that the residents, although not all,
are members of the GKK. Based on these, we can infer that the community is predominantly
Catholic. 29
 They celebrate the Holy Eucharist at their chapel once every month with the priest from
the Holy Family Parish as the celebrant. They also practice having a weekly Kasaulugan every
Wednesday as their form of worship.

Record of Past Interventions

We have learned that certain groups have already been to the area, and that these groups
also came from the AdDU NSTP program. Help has already reached the place regarding some
issues. Based on the data we gathered, some of the projects deal with the kids. The interviewee
was not able to specify what those projects were but it might be something like a feeding
program for the children since she mentioned that events like those take place in the covered
court. This covered court is a public property but is owned by another resident there. The latest
project however was the repair of the chapel roof.

Perceived Needs of the Community

What we saw first was their chapel. It's still good and very useful, save for some parts
that needed repairs like their ceiling that was starting to peel down and the flourescent lights that
weren't connected to the electricity. Also, the other side of the building wasn't painted. The road,
on the other hand, was all muddy and uneven which makes going deeper into the neighborhood a
little uncomfortable. It would be better if it would have been flattened or cemented, which would
also give the motor vehicles the opportunity to easily transport goods and people in and out of
the place. We had also observed that there wasn't any sari-sari stores nearby. The closest one
wasn't even that close to their houses.

When we had able to talk to the community, specifically to a family, because we were
then assigned to a particular house, we had noticed that there has a lot more of the needs in the
community that needed attention. First, they said that the inaccessability of PUVs had hindered
them to travel to places and transport their harvested kangkong (water spinach) to the market.

Also, children were forced to walk by foot in order to go to their schools, everyday of the
weekdays. Regarding their health, the people there said that their place is prone to dengue and
malaria, which wasn't very helpful since the community has a lot of children. They had also
emphasized the lack of nearby sari-sari store which could have been very convenient for them.
Unfortunately, they have to go downtown and buy their needs in large scale. The scarcity of
street lights are also present. Locals would say that the roads would get very dark every night,
which would it make it even more difficult for them to work at those hours of the day. Lastly,
they had alse said about the clear uncemented and muddy roads that would either get very muddy
on rainy seasons and very dusty on dry seasons.

We would say that among all of the needs that should be addressed in the community, the
need to have a cemented and flattened road is on top. Having accomplished such priority,
everything major would fall in order. Their would be an easy access for the people to transport
goods, for their children to go to school, and for the pedicabs/ tri-sikad to visit their place. Next
is the need of streetlights/ or sufficient electricity. At night, streetlights and electricty is very
essential. Peace and order would be better and security is also heightened. At a close range, we
placed the need of sari-sari store as the third priority. And lastly is the need of proper waste
disposal and others related activities that can diminish the probability of cases of dengue and
malaria in the location.

Areas for Intervention

As mere students, we think that the most practical and feasible way to aid at least a little
of the need of the community is to help in repairing and in the beautification of their chapel. We
can contribute and also make solicitation to be able to fund the construction of a new ceiling. If
in case there is an excess in fundsm those can be utilized for painting the sides of the chapel and
replacement of some fluorescent bulbs. Also, we can ask the help of the local government, their
barangay, to lobby the needs of the people to those who are in authority, those who have the
power to make the necessary responses.

___________________________________,

Good Day! As members of the NSTP Program, and as students of Ateneo de Davao
University, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the support you‘ve shown for our
cause, and for making it all happen. We highly appreciate the eager support you‘ve made known
through the different kinds funding and aids. We can assure you that every single donation was
used for the pursuance of our cause. The Santo Rosario Community in Toril, Davao City has
been our designated community. We‘ve done thorough analysis projects of their disposition, and
we have come up with three programs that are appropriate to their situation. To state, we have
conducted a Solid Waste and Management seminar program, managed a set of Catechism
sessions with the youth, and assisted in the renovation of the chapel. For the nine Saturdays
we‘ve shared with them, we have fortified our Ignatian Spirituality, shared it with the people, and
experienced the blossoms of life in its simplest ways. We owe our success to you. This is not the
end of our desire to help others, but the beginning of our life to be lived for others. \

Again, thank you. We wish you the best in all your endeavors in life.

Very Respectfully Yours,

Vivian Cortes
Team Leader
