community. Toward this end, the following objectives are set: 1. To maintain the cleanliness in the barangay 2. To imbibe the importance of cleanliness among the participants. 3. To increase the awareness of the resident on the advantages of proper waste disposal and segregation. 4. To solicit the support of the residents in maintaining the cleanliness and greenness of the surroundings.

Background of the Study Imagine how the surroundings took place before. You can breathe fresh air, see

greenish surroundings and of course taste clear water. Nowadays, can you still observe these things? Maybe in some but most of the places in this day and age are already polluted and deforested. The air that was once fresh is now full of pollutants such as smoke and dust. The surrounding that was once greenish have became all cemented. The water that was once clear became blurred and dirty. One of the causes of this is the improper waste disposal. For instances, most people believed that throwing a single candy wrapper is not a big deal. But take a closer look on the situation and analyzed it. If most people throw a candy wrapper once a day simultaneously, do you still think that it was not a big deal? Of course it isnt. Those candy wrappers that were thrown would piled a big trash and become a problem in the community. It might be stuck on the drainage and backfire when

a heavy rain comes then flood the community. Trees can be a lifesaver but since the trees that once stood there were all cut, it would be impossible to absorb the water using its roots. Simple mistakes may results to big damage. Thus, a proper waste management is necessary. Segregation of garbage, recycling, collecting of waste materials and proper waste disposal are just a few ways to properly manage your wastes. Meanwhile, the surrounding that was once greenish full of grasses and tall trees have became as dull as a rock. The green grasses that once were all over the place have all turned to cemented roads. The tall trees that lurked around the place have turned into gigantic buildings. Deforestation and urbanization are the main cause of this. For example, cutting trees illegally for their own convenience such as making furniture and papers that in the end would just go to waste since most of the people doesnt know how to conserve and toss is it however and whenever they want to. This mostly results landslide at mountainous area. Since trees that were supposed to uphold the land together and prevent extensive erosion were all cut down. Floods can also be the one of the consequences that people may experience in the future if this negligent attitude still goes on. Trees also help in preventing floods using it roots by absorbing the water. The water that could be harmful becomes useful with the plants as they absorb it as part of their own. Also trees are one of the heroes in the fight against global warming and deforestation. They are what we call super weapons. Thats how great and magnificent the nature is. If people would not just disturb the balance in its system, it would be a great result. If people just follow the law about for every one tree that was cut, atleast 3 seedlings should be planted to replace the tree that was cut, it would be a lifesaver. Maintaining the balance in the ecosystem, would bring forth fortune and not a disaster.

Hence, the MSN-I-students formulated different programs that would suit the barangay that they chose. Unfortunately, this barangay was experiencing the same problem that the students want to resolve. But, fortunately there are these students who are willing to help them in their own community problem. All in all, it was a load of different programs put together in a one project that would be implemented simultaneously for the betterment of the chosen locality. III. Justification A survey was conducted and revealed that the barangay is indeed facing a problem regarding the matter with waste management, to be more specific, a proper waste management. Most of the residents are complaining about the cleanliness and orderliness of the barangay. Trash could be found on the sides of the road. Improper waste segregation could also be observed in the community. Segregation between biodegradable and non-biodegredable is not entirely visible in the locality. The residents had the lack of initiative to do the segregation of waste, for those people who already have a background about it.. Also wall-painting program would fit in the projects since most off the walls were vandalized and is already old and dirty. Also, painting the walls would probably give of a better aura, an aura of cleanliness and orderliness in the barangay. Aside from the lack of initiative and tree planting program, the residents also had the lack of information about recycling and segregation and these were the two of the factors affecting the proper waste disposal of the barangay as perceived by the barangay officials and the surveyor. Since most of the families were composed of atleast 5

children, a boy and a girl, ranging the ages between 4-12 years old. A seminar fitted for children would be conducted corresponding to the results of the survey that would be implemented. The seminar would discuss about recycling and segregation of waste and how it is done in simple ways so that the children could understand it and could advertise it if possible. Feeding Program and Gift-giving Program would also be conducted in order to give thanks to the communitys participation in the project. Since most of the families contain children, specifically ranging from ages 4-12 years old, and mostly have a physical appearance of being skinny a feeding program and a gift-giving would probably be beneficial. Also most of the families have a low monthly income, programs like theses would be advantageous. Therefore, the whole project was entitled Life Construction through Community Cooperation. The world Life Construction was used in the project because it aims to construct how the residents of the barangay live their own way as of now to a more productive way of life. Productive because they would probably learn how to recycle and segregate waste that would resolve their problems in the cleanliness and orderliness of the locality. Also to naturedly-loving way of life, this promotes a life that coexists with the people and nature. The project invokes in the mentality of the inhabitants that a proper waste management and nature appreciation should be practice and if possible should be advertise. IV. Benefits Derived from the Project The project is beneficial to the following sector.

Community. The community would be benefited. The program that would be implemented intentionally tries to help the community regarding the matter with proper waste disposal and nature appreciation. Also, implementing the program would help the community progress in different aspects correspond to the project that would be implemented. Barangay Officials. The barangay officials would be benefitted. Implementing the program would help them lessen the stress. The program that would be implemented helps in solving the communitys problem which is also the problem of the barangay officials. Also, it would decrease their workload. Instead of letting them do their own program, it would already be done by the students who would implement the program. Also, they would acquire useful information that can be used in future program that would be conducted in the locality. Residents. The residents would be benefitted. It is mainly because the program that would be implemented is directly towards their benefits. The residents would acquire skills in proper waste management, especially children since they are the ones that would be in the seminar. They would learn how to recycle and segregate waste properly. Also thoughts about appreciating the nature more than they already do and become part of the feeding program and gift-giving program that would be implemented. MSN-I. The MSN-I-Students would be benefitted. Their scope in the society would widen. They would witness a different environment and way of living. They would also acquire leadership skills in facilitating the program that would be implemented and controlling the participants joining the program. It would also test their

patience especially facilitating seminars wherein kids are the participants. Acquisition of coordinating skills, this could be acquired during the pre-immersion and during immersion. Since communicating with the higher-ups needs a coordinating skills and facilitating and communicating with the participants during the program would also need coordinating skill for the program to go smoothly. V. Coverage The project would be implemented in locality of Barangay Salawag sited at Salawag Dasmarias Cavite. This project would cover 50 families in the barangay. Specifically, these families are the ones have the most children ranging from 4-12 years old and have low monthly income that is not fitted to a big size family. Mostly, the household has either one of the parents have a permanent work or none at all as perceived by the CWTS-students during the period of surveying. VI. Methodology The project is the maintenance of cleanliness and orderliness and nature appreciation in Barangay Salawag. The approach of it is to help the community in maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of the community together with appreciating the natures worth in their barangay. In this project, there are several programs that would be implemented. Wall Painting Program Wall painting program is a program in which MSN-I-students would willingly paint the government imfrastructures, walls and posts within the locality of the barangay,

especially those walls that were vandalized and were already too old and dirty. Painting them would make it looks like a new one and has better atmosphere of being clean and orderly.

Lecture-Seminar Program A Lecture-Seminar Program would also be implemented. This program is mainly for children. In this lecture-seminar the children will be thought mainly of how to recycle and how to become an earth friendly citizen. The first part of the lecture would be waste management skills. Video clips were to be shown. A MSN-I-Student would also be the one discussing the video clips that were shown. The second part of the lecture would be about Recycling. A game will be included so that the children would not be bored and still enjoy the seminar. These games will also be connected to recycling and becoming earth friendly citizen. Film Showing A film showing would also be conducted. The theme of the movie would be about nature appreciation it would be shown to participants that were composed of children ranging from ages 4-10 years old.
