The family which the group had assessed is located at a particular barangay in Agdao,
Davao City. Their household is of pure Filipino origin and mainly communicates in Bisaya with
the families originating from different cities of Davao del Sur. The families consist of Roman
Catholics. Their type of family is an extended family with multigenerational family members. The
household consists of a total of twelve (12) members including two (2) nuclear families of two of
the siblings all living together under one roof. Decision-making as a whole in the house is decided
through the majority decision between the five (5) of the siblings of the family.
Focusing on the nuclear family of the pregnant woman, M.E.M., is a 29-year-old and is in
her 3rd trimester during the time of the assessment and is married to 37-year-old, M.L.M and have
three children living with them, an 8-year-old, 6-year-old and, a 2-year-old. They live in a
patrilocal residence, specifically living with the husband’s siblings and mother. The husband’s
family has resided in the house for over 30 years. Decisions are made by matriarchy, where
authority is expected from the pregnant mother. Their family is in the stage of Family with School-
age Children. Generally, the family members communicate with each other well and coordinate
together in decision-making. Previous conflicts have already been talked out by the involved
members and are now solved as verbalized by the husband. They communicate through personal
interactions with no observable conflicts during the period of the assessment.
The household consists of 7 adults with their own different independent sources of income
and manage their own expenses. The mother-in-law, a 52-year-old woman, spends most of her
time as a stay-in and tends to the house, she is also dependent on the incomes of her children.
M.L.M., the eldest and the husband of the pregnant mother, is currently self-employed. I.M.M.,
one of the sisters-in-law, is an online seller and earns approximately ₱10,000 a month. I.M., the
other sister-in-law, works in permit processing and has an estimated monthly income of ₱5,000.
M.K.M., the brother-in-law, drives a sidecar and earns 5,000 pesos/month to provide for his live-
in partner who is currently unemployed, and for their 6-month-old son. The 15-year-old brother-
in-law is still dependent on his other siblings’ income. The money from the renovation of their
house came from the profit they earned from selling the family’s other land property. The family
of the pregnant woman, aliased M.E.M, the main source of income is their sari-sari store. The
mother’s previous and present source of income was the store while the husband has quit his
previous job as a driver of a sidecar as well, and at the present, both parents now manage the store.
Their daily expenses, particularly for the everyday meals, cost from ₱300-400 a day and are split
between the other families and siblings in the household. The family buys the goods for their sari-
sari store once a week and spends approximately ₱5,000. Depending on the sales, they could earn
an average profit of ₱700 a day. The income is enough to cover the basic necessities for their three
dependent children, and the family plans to receive implantations for the mother to prevent further
pregnancies after their fourth child’s birth. The management of the income and resources is
handled by the mother. The husband’s side of the family originated from Panabo, Davao del Sur,
while M.E.M.’s family originated from Digos, Davao del Sur, and from the Mandaya tribe. The
family’s participation in the community is not prominent. The family’s relationship with the
community can be tied to their sari-sari store and is recognized as being one of the providers of
budget-friendly goods which are readily available for the whole community.
The family lives in a two-story house and consists of five bedrooms. All the children or
minors of the household sleep in one room. Two of the siblings who are currently single share a
room, while the other two siblings share rooms with their partners. The mother-in-law has her own
room. During the home visit, the upper floor of the house was under renovation and all the things
from the second floor were moved on temporarily on the first floor. There was still enough room
for them to move around and sleep in as verbalized by the husband. Their electricity source is from
Davao Light Power Company and the water source is from Davao City Water District. The total
space requirement would be 27 square meters needed for the number of members in the family.
Upon measurement, the total floor area of their home is 49.28 square meters. Since the total floor
more than the total space requirement, they are enough room allotted for the family in the home.
However, this comparison only applies to the structure allotted for their family. Computation for
the total space requirement and total floor area below. Given these measurements, ventilation of
the house is computed at 31.25%, indicating satisfactory ventilation in the house. Satisfactory
ventilation Across the outside of the house of the family is a canal with a poor drainage system, a
community health concern. The canal stretches out to the whole block and is very close to the
homes of the whole neighborhood. The stagnant water has accumulated wastes from the homes
around the vicinity. Aside from the smell, there is also an evident presence of mosquitos around
the neighborhood. Refrigerator, rice cooker, TV, air conditioning, microwave oven, wi-fi, are some
of the appliances found inside the house. The family preferred to store their leftover food in the
refrigerator since their kitchen occasionally had pests according to the husband. Their toilet and
bathing area are in separate rooms. Accident hazards that can be observed are mainly due to the
ongoing construction of the upper floor of their house and the neighbors’ house adjacent as well.
The streets in the neighborhood are too narrow and as a result, some of the construction materials
and tools occasionally block the pathway outside their house as well as the entrance during the
day. Dust and some left-out construction materials were evident as well. The family disposes their
garbage in sacks and are segregates recyclables from the biodegradable wastes as verbalized by
M.L.M. Their garbage is then collected by the garbage collectors or by the Community
Environment and Natural Resources Office. The neighborhood could be described as congested
and slightly underdeveloped as evidenced by the poor drainage system. Around the barangay, the
two closest health centers available are the public barangay health center and the private health
center, San Pedro College Health Center (SPCHC). The mother, M.E.M., has brought all of their
three children to the barangay health center for their complete immunizations.

The family is generally healthy, none of their members have any life-threatening diseases.
The father of the family, however, experiences hypertension occasionally due to lack of sleep.
According to him he experiences insomnia and has difficulties in sleeping early which as a result
causes his blood pressure to rise. The grandmother is also hypertensive and has Diabetes, both
hereditary diseases that her son has a high risk of. The father was previously admitted due to
hypertension and was hospitalized for 4 days. The father takes his maintenance medicines but fails
to do so regularly. The pregnant mother has completed all the doses of Tetanus toxoid and has
availed it at the Bacong Maternity Health Center at Dacudao. Their children have received
complete immunizations from their barangay health center and recently the OPV during the
recently conducted door-to-door immunizations. She was also diagnosed with Anemia which she
treats with Ferrous Sulfate supplements, and UTI, which are both pregnancies induced. The mother
during the period of assessment was already 8 months pregnant and have been going to the
maternity health center weekly for check-ups. During the home visit, the children of the family
were observed running outside the house with no slippers or any protection for their feet with
potential accident hazards around. Other than that, the mother ensures that the children take a bath
every day. The family does not engage in regular exercise and their only opportunity is when they
get to walk around the neighborhood as verbalized by the husband. The mother’s only form of
exercise is by cleaning around the house and helping in the household chores. The family usually
spend their time at the house with their children as part of their relaxation activities
