Figure 2 shows the effect of topography in the NPI in selected

municipalities. Majority of the interviewees from all the three
selected municipalities stated that the Heath Center is not far from
their houses, 75.8% in total. Almost all of the interviewees don’t
have their own car, 90% in total. In fact, all the interviewees from
Sto. Niño don’t have their private car. Most of the interviewees with
a total of 86.2% take 1-10 minutes to reach the Health Center, either
by walking or other means of public transportation. 90% of the
interviewees from Amulung and 41.7% from Enrile said that their travel
expenses to the Health Center has no cost whereas 90% of the
interviewees from Sto. Niño and 58.3% from Enrile has 0-50 travel
expenses to the health center, a total of 96.7% of interviewees spent
under 50 pesos to get to the Health Center.

Therefore, basing from the data presented in Figure 2, wherein most of

the interviewees said that the Health Center is not far from their
houses and that it only takes 0-10 minutes of travel time either by
walking or other means of transportation and most of them spent only
0-50 pesos to get to the Health Center, we can conclude that
topography does not affect the status of NPI in the selected
municipalities.
