following people who were interested that may related to the same topic

preparedness with Best Sanitation Practices in National Search which is a project

The project less sickness and mortality in school children reduce the number of

young people absent from school due to ill health, Nylander, A. (2017). In

Moreover, as Lopez, I. (2017) a solid waste management that evaluators rated the

place with zero solid waste issues noted a clear visible installed eco-bricks added

beauty of the residences. Barangay sanitation and health policy like Barangay

Making amazing arts out of recycle materials and made the community colourful

same as to earned money out of it.

The gap of the study why the researchers choose the topic is to determine

the capabilities of the barangay officials, the availability of the funds, the people

and the problems they encountered under the advocacy of DOH. It is also

necessary to conduct this study to find out how to strengthen the unity of the

people in every barangays and as well as to improve this program DOH.

The significant of the study is to give the information specifically to the

residents and leaders of every barangay the importance of having sanitary toilets,

provision of adequate and safe water supply and the gain benefits. This is also to

encourage LGU’s to initiate and promote activities on sanitation, to give proper

recognition to exemplary LGU’s with practices on sanitation. The DOH can also

get relevant information on the study which they can be used to improve and

evaluate their programs about sanitations. Lastly, the researchers choose this

topic because this program is timely and very relevant to the present time and can

be used as a future basis from those researchers who happen to have the same

interested topic.

Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

To claim it the paper made was explaining lots about best practices on

sanitation on which people done to their selves, health and environment. It

illustrates all what to be done to aim that goal being a healthy and wealthy

individuals through practicing best sanitation preparedness for the development of

one place and its people itself. People cannot deny the fact that being clean is

wealth and it became habit by many of the Filipino’s. Sanitation is achievable

because through helping each other hand on hand, unity and cooperation is

present this concept of sanitation can be achieved. Sanitation helps the

environment by having a proper disposal of waste and has a clean surrounding

can helps the environment to its best. Lastly, sanitation is vital for health because

when we do have sanitation it can help us to have a healthy lifestyle, healthy

environment having this can lessen sickness and diseases.

To connect with researchers claim the Behavioural Psychology also known

as Behaviourism, is a theory of learning that was based on the idea that all

behaviours acquired behaviours are all conditioning. Which is conditioning occurs

through interaction with the environment. Behaviourists believe that our responses

to environmental stimuli shape our actions. Strict behaviourists believed that any

person can potentially be trained to perform any task, regardless of genetic

background, personality traits, and internal thoughts (within the limits of their

physical capabilities). Thus, it only requires the right conditioning.

It was supported two sub-theories A grounded theory study of women

across the life-course in Odisha, India sanitation interventions have engrossed

mainly on child health, women's exclusive health risks from insufficient sanitation

are fast credit as a main concern problem, Clasena, T. J. & Et. Al. (2016). In

addition with, sanitation has become more basic important for health and life

concern of most people around the world. Sanitation practices contained more

than elimination and urination that has included transporting water, washing,

bathing, menstrual management, and changeless outfits. During the course of

these activities, women encountered three broad types Theory and practices on

innovating for sustainable development of stressors through environmental, social,

and sexual. To had passion in modifying a woman life step where these people

live with access to sanitation facilities, Krozer, Y. (2016).

Local basis based on Surigao del Sur laws and policy it was clearly visible

seen that Tandag City has already been implemented the sanitation ordinance

start with the clean and green project that the city government enacted within the

place. It gives newest outlook of a clean city of Tandag by throwing their garbage

properly through segregating each of the trash based on their classification. The

gap of this paper from other study that is to continue studying the said and how to

get over some positive ideas to help the environment more be friendly. The

significant core of this paper made is that researcher’s wants to tell people how

important being sanitizes it keep clean and health.
