CASE SCENARIO ANALYSIS
Santos Family lives in Sitio Besaleg, Barangay A, San Mateo, Tarlac. Their Barangay is located near Sapang

Luglog where there are lots of garbage being dumped in it and with stagnant water. Garbage is scattered at

their backyard. Their house is made up of coconut lumber, with hard cartoons dividing their two rooms, a

sala and a bedroom. Their wall is made up of anahaw leaves and their roof is of cogon. Their kitchen is

located outside their house and no bathroom and toilet. There is no drainage system since it flows directly to

Sapang Luglog. Mang Cardo Santos as they call him is the bread winner of the Santos Family and working on

a daily basis laborer in the farm and so with Nang Nena Comia Santos earning P400 per day but not

everyday. They have 5 children, 2 boys and 3 girls. The two boys are Ramon who is 14 years old and Carlo

who is 12 years old. The three girls are Maye, Nina and Zara 10, and 9 years old and 1 year and 2 months old

respectively.
Lolo Dindo Santos who is 80 years old and Lola Luisa Manalo Santos who is 78 years old stay with

them. Mang Cardo have 4 siblings and he is the youngest. He got two sisters and two brothers. His two

brothers died at an early age due stroke and diabetes. Nang Nena Comia’s parents both died already,

the father, a COPD case and the mother died of cancer of the breast at the age of 66 and 55

respectively. has 7 siblings and being the eldest. She has only one living sibling. Two died when they

were still babies and her other 2 brothers died of heart attack at age of 47 and 54 and one sister died

of ovarian cancer at the age of 58 and the other one died of PTB.
 All of them are affiliates of Protestantism and do not go to church anymore since their house is far from the

church. Family Santos barely enjoys the community resources since the community itself lacks resources. The

family uses the river as their means of water source in washing their clothes. There is also a shallow well built

within the river where the family gets their water source for drinking if they get lazy in getting water from the

barrio that is utilizing the artesian well which is 500 meters away from their house. They usually have malungay,

kamote tops, eggplant, tomatoes, okra as their foodstuff since these are being planted at the back of their

house. Sometime they have fish for their viand but not at all times. Very seldom they have meat in their meals.

Walking every morning going to the field is an early exercise for them
 Their children did not receive complete immunization since they are far from the main

health center and seldom too being visited by health workers. The youngest child very often

has colds and coughs and appears underweight. The two girls usually take good care of their

youngest sister while Nang Nena is in the farm.

They do the cooking and other household chores. The two boys are not studying

anymore instead they help their parents in the farm. The two girls do not attend their

classes regularly and sometimes alternate being absent especially if their mother will go to

the farm. Mang Cardo is smoking and an occasional alcoholic drinker. Nang Nena is

anemic.They use herbal plants for minor ailments
