A. Introduction

Community health nursing is a specialized field of nursing dedicated to enhancing the

overall health of a community by identifying health concerns, providing education and resources,
and collaborating with community organizations and leaders. According to American Nurses
Association (ANA) (2022), community diagnosis is an essential step in the nursing process that
involves gathering and analyzing data to ascertain a community's healthcare requirements and
overall health status. This process helps healthcare providers to identify the underlying factors
contributing to health issues and develop interventions to address these root causes. In addition to
identifying health problems, community diagnosis also allows healthcare providers to establish a
benchmark for evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and tracking their progress over time.
Healthcare providers can also identify the strengths and resources within a community that can be
utilized to promote health and prevent disease. In consequence, a community diagnosis is an
essential tool in community health nursing that provides a comprehensive understanding of a
community's health needs and helps healthcare providers design interventions that enhance the
population's overall health.

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a community diagnosis located in Barangay

Mauway, Mandaluyong. Mauway is characterized by its diverse population and a blend of
residential, commercial, and industrial areas. According to the 2020 Census by the Philippine
Statistics Authority, Mauway has a population of 25,800, which makes up 6.06 % of the total
population of Mandaluyong. It is one of the top five most populous barangays and is led by elected
officials including the Barangay captain, Kagawads, SK chairman, and SK members. Mauway is
home to various educational institutions and other notable facilities in include a public market, a
barangay hall, and a health center, which provide essential services to its residents. The dynamic
nature of the barangay also contributes to its cultural richness, making it a vibrant and thriving
community.

This study aimed to identify the health needs of the community in Barangay Mauway,
Mandaluyong. However, the data obtained were limited, restricting the group from making a
comprehensive assessment of the community's needs. Regardless of this limitation, 22 families
(106 family members) were interviewed to supplement the provided data, enabling the group to
determine the health status of the community and appropriate interventions for its members.

56/50 x 100 = 112

112:100

Interpretation & Analysis:

In Purok 2 Nueve De Pebrero Mauway, Mandaluyong City, there are 22 households with
a total of 106 people who need to be studied for a community diagnosis. There were a total of 56
men and 50 women residing in the said city. The ratio of males to females was found by dividing
the number of males by the number of females and then multiplying that number by 100. The
result was 112, which indicates that there are 112 males for every 100 females.

The gender ratio revealed that there are more men than women in Purok 2 and Mauway
Mandaluyong City. According to the World Health Organization, there are roughly 105 men for
every 100 women, which is the natural or anticipated sex ratio. This is especially clear in
Southeast Asia, where the number of males and females born is not the same. In all countries,
there are more male than female births (Ritchie & Roser, 2019). As a result of this difference
between mortality and life expectancy rates in both sexes, it is anticipated that women will live
longer than men and will constitute slightly more than half of the population.

A big difference in the number of men and women in society could lead to problems like
conflict and violence between men and women. According to Neupert-Wentz (2020), the
difference in the number of men and women will make it hard for men to meet social and
economic goals like finding a partner and having children. In addition, males may take more
risks, which can lead to a higher death rate.

A difference in the number of men and women in society could lead to problems like
conflict and violence between males and females. Neupert-Wentz (2020) writes that if there
aren't as many men as women, men won't be able to follow social norms like finding a partner
and having children or reaching their economic goals. In addition to this, the males might engage
in riskier behavior, which might increase mortality.

3.2 Age Distribution

Interpretation and Analysis:

Based on the information collected, the age groups of the population are definitely
different. The largest group is the adult population ranging from ages 20–39, which consists of
49 people, specifically 29 males and 20 females, making up 46.3 percent of the population.
Among this adult group, the largest number of members of the community range from 25–29
years old, which is considered adult. The population of

35.1 is considered the second largest group, ranging from 0-19 years, which is the youth
group. The total population of 37 people consists of 18 males and 19 females, and the largest
members of the community range from 0-4 years, which is the preschooler group. The third
largest group are middle- aged adults, ranging from ages 40 to 59. They consist of 7 males and 9
females, making up 15.1% of the entire population. Moreover, the least amount was found in the
older adult group, ranging from ages 60 to 74, consisting of 2 males and 2 females, making up
only 3.8% of the population.

The gathered data indicates that most of the community of Purok 2 Mauway,
Mandaluyong City, comprises adults due to the fact that most of the families have 1 or more
children or offspring in their household. This is where appropriate family planning must take
place to ensure that the offspring are provided with their basic essential needs as well as to lessen
the chances of unwanted pregnancies occurring.

Another noticeable trend in the data is how there are fewer older adults in the population,
which possibly indicates a high mortality rate among these age groups. According to Stanford
Medicine (2019), the major cause of death in the 55–64 age group is cancer, followed by heart
disease and injury. In the

75+ age group, the leading cause shifts to heart disease, and injury drops below chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cerebrovascular diseases, and pneumonia. It is also
noticeable from the given data that the number of males decreases as age increases. An article by
Ospina and Beltekian
(2018) states that women have a higher life expectancy than men due to a variety of factors. It
may be due to genetics since men are said to have more visceral fat, which may potentially lead
to cardiovascular diseases. It may also be since smoking habits and excessive alcohol intake are
more common in men than in women.

Those in charge must do what needs to be done to make sure that the community is well-
balanced and moving forward. This is where the implementation of programs dedicated to
educating the population regarding appropriate measures to be taken, such as family planning
and disease prevention, takes place.

The community must utilize the data obtained to plan ahead and prevent unfavorable
occurrences from happening.

Figure 1. Population Pyramid of Age and Sex, at Purok 2, Nueve De Pebrero Mauway,
Mandaluyong City as of March, 2023

Analysis:

Figure 1 shows a population pyramid with different age groups. This shows that the
population is diverse.It is clearly seen in the graph that the total number of males is higher than
that of females, which is also noticeable in the sex ratio. The length of the bars in the adult age
group shows how much better their numbers are than those of the oldest adult with the least.

It is also seen that there is a decrease in the male population as age increases. In the 70–
74 age group, it's also interesting that only the female side has a bar with 0.9% of the population
on it. The population pyramid shows that men in the community can't live to be 75 or older. This
could mean that there are a lot of deaths among people in those ages.

Figure 2. Pie Chart of Civil Status, at Purok 2, Nueve De Pebrero Mauway, Mandaluyong
City as of March 2023

Interpretation and Analysis

 Using the data gathered from Purok 2 Mauway, Mandaluyong City, the single status of
106 people was the one with the greatest number of people, consisting of 70.8% of the total
population. The second highest percentage was among married people, at 22.6%. Next were the
live-in couples, making up 3.7 percent of the total. The widowed have the lowest percentage,
accounting for 2.8% of the total.

Most of the people in the sample were single since it consisted of adolescents ranging in
age from 15 to 17 years old, with the legal age of marriage in the Philippines being 18 years old.
Adolescents of this age make up most of the population, based on the data collected.

C. Socio-Cultural Indices

1. Educational Attainment

Table 3. Percentage Distribution of Educational

Attainment, at Purok II, Brgy. Mauway,
Mandaluyong, Metro Manila as of
March
2023
Literacy Rate = Number of Population who can read and write x 100

Total number of Population 7 y/o and above

= 81/81 x 100

= 100%

Interpretation and Analysis:

The total population of the community who are aged 7 years old and above is 81.
In terms of educational level, 31 of them (38.1%) have reached junior high school, 2 (3%)
have reached senior high school, 16 (20.0%) are elementary graduates, 8 (9.5%) have
graduated college, 1 (1%) have finished a vocational program, 7 (8.6%) are college
undergraduates, 5 (6.5%) are still in preschool, and 11 (13.3%) have no formal education.

The maximum level of education a person can achieve is called educational attainment. It
is frequently impacted by a number of variables, including financial assistance, housing
arrangements, geography, physical and mental health, and other environmental factors. The
economic standing of each family, including the number of dependents, their occupation, and
their monthly income, has a significant impact on educational attainment in this community.
Based on the data gathered, the majority of the population only finished junior high school,
nowadays, proper job opportunities require a certain level of education which is senior high
school graduate. Education and poverty are intrinsically intertwined. Although not all
uneducated people live in abject poverty, the majority of adults in poverty lack a minimum
education. Because they must work, poor people quit attending school, leaving them without the
literacy and numeracy abilities necessary to change their position (Alip, 2022). Their children are
also more likely to drop out of school due to their limited resources and income, which feeds a
cycle of poverty that lasts for generations (Alip, 2022). This is regrettable because education's
most significant impact on poverty is its potential to eradicate it. All of these factors contribute to
being able to access education.

The community has a 100% literacy rate, which means all of the population aged 7 years
old and above have the ability to read and write. Lacking basic reading and writing skills is a
tremendous disadvantage. Literacy not only enriches an individual’s life, but it creates
opportunities for people to develop skills that will help them provide for themselves and their
family (Plan International, 2017). In fact, adults’ employability and incomes are negatively
impacted by low literacy. Income disparity is aggravated by the growing "skills gap." Compared
to adults with higher levels of education, adults without a high school diploma are more than
twice as likely to be unemployed, work in low-paying occupations, live in poverty, and rely on
government assistance programs (Bellso, 2016).
2. Religion

Purok II, Brgy. Mauway, Mandaluyong, Metro
Manila as of March 2023

Figure 4. Pie Chart of Religion, at Purok II,

Brgy. Mauway, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila as of
March 2023

Interpretation and Analysis:

The total number of fathers and mothers in the community is 22. In terms of
religion, 18 people (82%) are Catholic, and other religions got only 1 (4.5% each).
 These gathered data from the community are supported by the fact that most Filipinos are
Roman Catholics. The Philippines stands out among its neighbors in South East Asia in that the
vast majority of its citizens (92.5%) identify as Christians. To be more precise, 82.9% of people
identify as Catholics, 2.8% as Evangelical Christians, 2.3% as Iglesia ni Kristo, and 4.5% as
members of other Christian denominations (Scroope, 2017). 5.0% of the remaining population
identify as Muslims, 1.8% as followers of another religion, 0.6% as unidentified, and 0.1% as
having no religious affiliation (Scroope, 2017). The denomination of Christianity that became most
embedded in Filipino culture is Catholicism, which was introduced in the Philippines during the
early colonial period by the Spanish (Scroope, 2017).

Religion, medicine, and health care are all intertwined historically. In the fourth
century, religious organizations constructed the first hospitals for people who couldn't
afford to pay for private healthcare (Ladrido-Ignacio, 2022). Religious organizations also
acquired control of doctor education and medical license issuance at this time. This was
the case up until the seventeenth century, when technical development brought about a
shift (Ladrido-Ignacio, 2022). Medical treatment is becoming more frequently based on
scientific data (Ladrido-Ignacio, 2022). From a compassionate, service-oriented style of
medicine to a technology, cure-oriented model, the emphasis has shifted. Religion
strengthens not only an individual but also families, communities, and society as a whole
by having a big impact on a lot of different things like marriage, careers, mental health,
personal problems, and societal issues.

 Figure 5. Pie Chart of Place of Origin, at Purok II, Brgy. Mauway, Mandaluyong, Metro
Manila as of March, 2023

Interpretation and Analysis:

Out of the total number of fathers and mothers in the community, which is 22, 11
people (48.6%) originated from National Capital Region (NCR), 7 (31.4%) from Luzon
(outside NCR), 3 (14.3%) from Visayas, and 1 (5.7%) from Mindanao.
Since the gathered data is from a community located in NCR, most of the
population group is from within and nearby Mandaluyong. According to Commision on
Audit (COA) the city of Mandaluyong was converted into a Highly Urbanized City under
Republic Act (RA) No. 7675, otherwise known as "The Charter of the City of
Mandaluyong" signed by President Fidel V. Ramos on February 9, 1994. On April 10,
1994, a plebiscite confirmed the conversion of Mandaluyong from a municipality to a
highly urbanized city. It explains why only few of the population is from outside NCR.
Based on the survey from Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in 2018 for internal
migration that involved crossing regional boundaries, the five regions with the largest
number of out-migrants are NCR, CALABARZON, Central Luzon, Bicol, and Northern
Mindanao while the regions with the largest number of in-migrants are NCR. Furthermore,
internal migration is mainly driven by employment, the reason cited by 46% of the
migrants for their first-ever internal move, and by 23%, for their last internal move in the
past five years (PSA, 2019). The top five reasons for internal move are the following:
employment reasons, housing-related reason, school, to live with parents, and to live with
partners (PSA, 2019)

Figure 6. Pie Chart of Dependency Ratio of Families with Past Illnesses without
Medical Attendance, at Purok II, Brgy. Mauway, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila as of

Interpretation & Analysis:

Of the 106 residents of the community, 73 (68.9%) are between the ages of 15 and
64, 32 (30.2%) are between the ages of 0 and 14, and just one (0.9%) is 65 or older.

The group of people classified as dependents includes those who are 0–14 years
old and 65 years of age or more, whereas the independents category includes those who
are 15–64 years old. It is recommended that there be 7 dependents for every 100
independents.

The community has a sufficient number of dependents on its employed members—

33—but only 73 independents, which indicates that the independents will have a greater
amount of work to do as a result of the community's insufficiency of independents.

Figure 7. Pie Chart of Source of Income of Families with Past Illnesses without
Medical Attendance, at Purok II, Brgy. Mauway, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila as of
March, 2023

Interpretation and Analysis:

Of the 73 people aged 15 years old to 64 years old living in the community, 42
(57.53%) are employed, 29 (39.73%) are unemployed or studying while 2 (1.89%) are self-
employed.

People who are employed work for certain individuals or firms, people who are self-
employed run their own business, and people who are unemployed or in school have no other
source of income.
 Since these 73 independents are the ones who are responsible for supporting the
dependents in their community, they should be able to support the 33 dependents, but because 29
of the 73 independents are unemployed or still in school, it may put additional strain on the 44
who are employed to support the dependents and the 29 independents, which may result in a lack
of resources.

3. Occupation

Figure 8. Pie Chart of Occupation of Families with Past Illnesses without

Medical Attendance, at Purok II, Brgy. Mauway, Mandaluyong, Metro
Manila as of March, 2023

Interpretation and Analysis:

Of the 44 people who are working in the community, 44 (100%) have a blue collar
or white collar job.

White collar workers are those who spend most of their time at desks, and blue collar
workers are those who perform manual labor as their primary duty. All 44 of those employed are
thought to have both blue collar and white collar jobs.
 In contrast to a rate of only 4.5 per 100 for white-collar workers and 6.7 for service
workers, the CDC reports that "the work injury rate for blue-collar workers was 26.8 persons
injured for every 100 currently employed persons." Since blue collar workers make up the bulk of
the population, they are more prone to occupational injuries as a result of their line of work.

Interpretation and Analysis:

Of the 44 residents of the neighborhood who are employed, 9 (20.45%) earn
between PHP 10,001 and 15,000, 7 (15.91%) less than PHP 5,000, 14 (31.82%) between
PHP 5,001 and 10,000, and 10 (22.72%) between PHP 15,001 and 20,000. Two (4.55%)
make between PHP 20,000 and PHP 25,000, and two (4.55%) earn between PHP 25,000
and PHP 30,000 each.

A family of five in the Philippines need a monthly income of PhP 12,030 in order to be
considered to be over the poverty line, according to the PSA. A family of five is thought to require
at least PhP 8,379 per month to cover their basic dietary requirements. With this known, there are
currently 21 individuals who receive below 12,000 monthly income

Figure 10. Bar Graph of Common Illnesses/Diseases of the Family, at Purok II,
Brgy. Mauway, Mandaluyong City as of last year

Interpretation & Analysis:

Among the 26 illnesses reported as of last year in Purok II Brgy. Mauway, respiratory tract
disorders (asthma, common cough and cold) were found to be the most prevalent in the community
with a total of 15 (57.7%) reported cases. Following these disorders is hypertension with 2 (7.7%)
reported cases. Other diseases, including breast cancer, preeclampsia, covid, tonsillitis, dengue,
heart disease, diabetes, appendicitis, and arthritis each had 1 (3.8%) reported case.
The World Health Organization defines respiratory tract disorders as disorders that affect
air passages, such as the nasal passages, the bronchi, and the lungs, altering human respiration, as
the leading cause of morbidity in Purok II, Brgy. Mauway. These conditions include both acute
infectious and chronic respiratory diseases, all of which can be exacerbated by a variety of factors.
Genetics, allergies, smoking, bacterial and viral infections, air pollution, and occupational
disorders are some of the most common risk factors for these disorders. It was also stated that
socioeconomic factors play a significant role in the rise of respiratory tract diseases caused by
environmental factors and a lack of access to appropriate health care.
Hypertension, which is the is the second most common disease in the community, is a
serious medical condition and can increase the risk of heart, brain, kidney and other diseases. This
disease’s modifiable risk factors include unhealthy diets which is the excessive salt consumption,
a diet high in saturated fat and trans fats, low intake of fruits and vegetables), physical inactivity,
consumption of tobacco and alcohol, and being overweight or obese. (World Health Organization,
2023). Undetected or uncontrolled high blood pressure can result in a heart attack or stroke.
 According to the Department of Health, acute respiratory infections were reported to be
the leading cause of morbidity in the Philippines in 2020 which is so far the latest update. It shows
that respiratory tract disorders have been prevalent in our country in the past years, supporting the
data gathered from the community. Purok II Brgy. Mauway has seen an increase in the prevalence
of these disorders. This may be related to the socioeconomic status and environmental factors
present in the community's families. As previously stated, the majority of the families there are
poor, making them more vulnerable to the disease due to financial constraints and a lack of access
to proper care. Moreover, within the 22 households, 45.5% have poor ventilation (Table ), while
40.9% experience overcrowding (Table ), which may increase the risk for the transmission of
infectious diseases among members of the community.
The occurrence of hypertension within the community may possibly be correlated with the
method of the lifestyle among the families. We can see that there are families have a healthy life
style and there are have not, which can possibly increase the modifiable risk factors of
hypertension.

Interpretation & Analysis:

Among the 3 illnesses reported as of this year in Purok II, Brgy. Mauway, kidney disease,
myocardial infarction, and uric acid each had the same 1 (33.3%) reported cases. There are no
common diseases were found in the community as of this year.
Kidney disease also called chronic kidney failure is the gradual loss of kidney function.
According to National Institutes of Health, diabetes and high blood pressure are the common
causes of chronic kidney disease. This common causes of chronic kidney disease are included in
the percentage of common illnesses of the community as of last year which are some of the most
common risk factors for these illnesses.
Myocardial Infarction or a heart attack occurs when one or more areas of the heart muscle
do not receive adequate oxygen. This occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is restricted and
this are due to underlying coronary artery disease. Heart disease is one of the percentage of
common illnesses of the community as of last year which is some of the common risk for these
disease.
Hyperuricemia is an elevated uric acid level in the blood. According to National Institutes
of Health, if untreated, high uric acid levels may eventually lead to permanent bone, joint and
tissue damage, kidney disease and heart disease. Kidney disease and heart disease are one the
percentage of the community as of last year which is some of the common risk for this disease.

Interpretation & Analysis

Out of all the families’s option, Health Centers are the most popular among the families
(68.2%) followed by Hospital (36.4%), with “Manghihilot” coming in third (18.2%) and Family
Clinic last (4.5%).
According to National Institutes of Health, Health seeking behavior is preceded by a
decision-making process that is further governed by individuals and/or household behavior,
community norms, and expectations as well as provider-related characteristics and behavior.
Health or care seeking behavior has been defined as any action undertaken by individuals who
perceive themselves to have a health problem or to be ill for the purpose of finding an appropriate
remedy. These health-seeking behaviors influence how the community uses health-care services,
and they are influenced by factors.
The members of Purok II, Brgy, Mauway prefer to utilize their Health Centers over other
options such as hospitals, manghihilot, midwifery, albularyo and family clinic. Since the majority
of the families in this community has a financial difficulty, they will prefer to utilize what is
available in their community.

Interpretation & Analysis

Based on the collected data, 83 out of 83 children (100%) have received their BCG doses
of vaccination. Furthermore, 81 out of 83 children (97.6%) were able to acquire their doses of both
Petha HIB and OPV vaccinations. While 95.2% of the children have acquired the AMV
vaccinations. Lastly, 1.2% have received other unknown vaccination.
Vaccinations, such as the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine for tuberculosis, Hepa
B for hepatitis B, AMV for measles, MMR for measles, mumps, and rubella, pentavalent for 5
different diseases (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, and hib), and OPV for poliovirus
greatly reduce the risk of acquiring certain diseases.
Penta HIB, OPV, and AMV vaccines, 8 (9.6%) of children haven’t receive yet any doses
of the said vaccines. Children are put at risk of contracting and spreading serious illnesses, having
a lower quality of life and life expectancy, and even being restricted from traveling and enrolling
in schools for the reason that complete immunization is usually required for these.

Interpretation & Analysis

The total of 76 (71.7%) individuals have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Among the
7 (6.6%) have taken just the first dose. The 55 (51.9%) individuals have been fully vaccinated;

According to Siqueira et al., in order to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 in 2022,
more than 95% of the community would need to be vaccinated. The likelihood of a disease
spreading from person to person decreases when a large portion of a population is immune to it
(via immunization and/or previous illness). This is referred to as herd immunity (or community
immunity). Because the disease has a low probability of spreading throughout the population, even
those who have not received a vaccination (such as infants and people with compromised immune
systems) are protected.
In Purok II, Brgy. Mauway, more than half of the population is vaccinated against COVID-
19 which is good but not so because they have still a percentage of not vaccinated and considering
that it is a highly contagious disease which can be a life-threatening especially towards those who
are immunocompromised or have comorbidities.

education, 8 (9.5%) individuals are college graduates, 7 (8.6%) individuals are college
undergraduates, 5 (6.5%) individuals are currently in preschool, 2 (3%) individuals completed
senior high school and to complete the population, 1 (1%) individual completed the vocational
course. The community has a 100% literacy rate, meaning that everyone who is 7 years old or
older can read and write. One way to end poverty is to become educated, which offers several
advantages. It supports gender equality, democracy, and peace while fostering lifelong learning,
developing skills and self-esteem, enhancing the economy and quality of life, and creating
employment and opportunities (Giovetti, 2020).

In terms of religion, 22 persons (100%) are Roman Catholic,1 (4.5%) individual is Iglesia
Ni Cristo, 1 (4.5%) individual is Seventh-day Adventist, 1 (4.5%) individual is Born Again and
lastly, 1 (4.5) individual is a Baptist. The majority of Filipinos are Roman Catholics, which gives
credibility to the facts collected from the community. There are around 76 million (81%)
Catholics in the nation, according to the Catholic Global Mission (2022). The Philippines came
in third place among the nations with the highest percentage of Catholics. The Spanish
colonizers introduced Catholicism to the Philippines, where it has persisted ever since.

With regards to the dependency ratio, of the 106 residents of the community, 73 (68.9%)
are between the ages of 15 and 64, 32 (30.2%) are between the ages of 0 and 14, and just one
(0.9%) is 65 or older. The community has 33 dependents on its employed members, which is a
suitable number, but only 73 independents, indicating that the independents will have more labor
to complete as a result of the community's lack of independents. As to the source of income, of
the 73 people aged 15 years old to 64 years old living in the community, 42 (57.53%) are
employed, 29 (39.73%) are unemployed or studying while 2 (1.89%) are self-employed.
Individuals who are employed or self-employed work for specific persons or businesses, whereas
those who are unemployed or enrolled in school have no other financial resources. Since these 73
independents are the ones who are responsible for supporting the dependents in their community,
they should be able to support the 33 dependents, but because 29 of the 73 independents are
unemployed or still in school, it may put additional stress on the 44 who are employed to support
the dependents and the 29 independents, which may lead to lack of resources. As regards
occupation, 17 (38.64%) individuals of the population who are working in the community have
white-collar jobs. The most significant percentage making up 61.63% of the population have
blue-collar jobs which consist of 27 individuals. A high percentage of blue-collar workers could
indicate susceptibility to work-related injuries. As for the monthly income, of the 44 residents of
the neighborhood who are employed, 9 (20.45%) earn between PHP 10,001 and 15,000, 7
(15.91%) less than PHP 5,000, 14 (31.82%) between PHP 5,001 and 10,000, and 10 (22.72%)
between PHP 15,001 and 20,000. Two (4.55%) make between PHP 20,000 and PHP 25,000, and
two (4.55%) earn between PHP 25,000 and PHP 30,000 each.

In relation to past illnesses, the most reported case was Respiratory Tract Disorders, with
a reported case of 15 (57.7%), the next reported case was Hypertension with a total of 2 (7.7%)
cases. Overcrowding and inadequate ventilation in each home could contribute to an increase in
respiratory tract disorders. Other diseases, including breast cancer, preeclampsia, covid,
tonsillitis, dengue, heart disease, diabetes, appendicitis, and arthritis each had 1 (3.8%) reported
case. As of present illnesses, there have been 3 illnesses recorded in Purok II, Brgy. The same
number of instances (33.3%) were recorded for Mauway, renal disease, myocardial infarction,
and uric acid combined. As of this year, no widespread illnesses have been discovered in the
community.
