CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Malnutrition is found to be one of the worlds health problems. It prevents children

from reaching their full physical and mental potential (Kandala et al, 2011). It may
originate from the deficiency or absence of any nutrient. The establishment and severity
of malnutrition depend on the cause, intensity and duration of the nutritional deficiency.
It can be caused, primarily, by an inadequate diet or, secondarily, by a deficiency in
gastrointestinal absorption and/or increase in demand, or even, by an excessive
excretion of nutrients (Rodriguez et al, 2011).
The most basic kind of malnutrition is protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM), also
known as protein-energy malnutrition. It is a pathological condition that results from a
lower ingestion of protein and calories, which occurs more frequently in children under
five years of age (Rodriguez et al, 2011). Underweight, stunting, and wasting forms of
PCM represent different histories of nutritional deficits. Linear growth retardation
(stunting) is frequently associated with repeated exposure to adverse economic
conditions, poor sanitation, and the interactive effects of poor energy and nutrient intake
and infection. Low weight-for-age indicates a history of poor health or nutritional
deficiencies, including recurrent illness and/or starvation. In contrast, low weight-forheight is an indicator of wasting or thinness and is generally associated with recent
illness, weight loss or a failure to gain weight (Bloss et al, 2004).
Moreover, malnutrition accounts for 11% of all diseases worldwide and it causes
long-term poor health and disability. It is particularly prevalent in developing countries,
where it affects one out of every three preschool-age children (WHO, 2011). In the
Philippines, Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) reported that the number of
Filipino children who were underweight and stunted increased from 2005 to 2008. The
prevalence of underweight children aged 0-5 years increased from 24.6 percent to 26.2
percent, which are about 3.35 million children. The stunted rate increased from 26.3
percent to 27.9 percent, representing 3.57 million children. There was also a significant
increase in the prevalence of underweight children aged 6-10 years from 22.8 percent in
2005 to 25.6 percent in 2008, equivalent to 2.6 million. The number of stunted children
in this age group likewise increased from 32 percent to 33.1 percent (Fernandez, 2010).
High level of acute malnutrition among preschoolers (aged 0-5) was noted in six
regions, namely MIMAROPA, Bicol, Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Zamboanga
Peninsula and SOCSARGEN, where the underweight-for-age prevalence was at least
30%. Also, high prevalence of stunted preschoolers was mostly observed in
MIMAROPA, Bicol, and all the regions in the Visayas and Mindanao (Fernandez, 2010).
Barangay La Paz is one of the barangays in the municipality of Nueva Valencia
in the province of Guimaras. It is divided into eight sitios, namely Alaman Sur, Alaman
Norte, Luzaran, Pototan, Sumirib, Tigcalayo, Tuguisan, and Lusong. The said barangay
ranked first in the municipality with the highest prevalence of malnutrition based on the
nutritional survey. Furthermore, sitio Lusong ranked second highest in the prevalence of
malnutrition.
Batang Undernourished Sagipin at Busogin (BUSOG) sa Lusong is a project
proposed by Team BAM to address the problem of malnutrition in Sitio Lusong, Brgy. La
Paz, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. This project primarily aims to decrease malnutrition
prevalence in Sitio Lusong among children ages 3-12 years by 70 %. The purpose of
this project is to increase the availability of nutritious foods through supplementation
programs, vegetable garden maintenance, lectures on food nutrition and proper hygiene
and sanitation, and proper detection of case.
CHAPTER II
SITIO SELECTION
Barangay La Paz, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras was the chosen barangay for the
community immersion. Sitio Lusong, Sitio Lusaran and Sitio Sumirib were suggested by
the adviser for the Public Health students to select from. The three sitios were inspected
and evaluated based on their physical and social characteristics. Evaluation was done
through gathering data on health, demographic and socio-economic and environmental
profile. Decision matrix was then utilized to select the sitio. It made use of the Rank
Order Method based on the following criteria set by the Public Health students:
1. Acceptability
-
Refers to the willingness and openness of the community upon visitation of the
group.
2. Accessibility
-
Refers to the degree of accessibility of the sitio in terms of location, distance from
the town, road quality, as well as the means of transportation of reaching the
sitio.
3. Accommodation
-
Refers to the availability of a secured place to reside during the community

immersion.
4. Communication Facilities
-
Refers to the network coverage for mobile phones, as well as radio, television,
and other means of communication.
5. Magnitude of the Problem

-
Refers to the severity and urgency of current health problems that are of concern
to the residents of the sitio, which is important in ensuring that the project to be
drafted would be greatly helpful to the community and would have a great
significance for the betterment of the residents.
6. Manageability
-
Factor in ensuring that the health problem to be tackled is feasible and

attainable, which will make sure that the health programs to be delivered will
have a higher efficacy rate in solving the problem in the sitio.

Each criterion was given the same weight. The sitios were ranked from 1 to 3
based on the criteria provided, with 1 as the highest and 3 as the lowest. The sitio with
the lowest total was chosen as the community site. Based on the decision matrix
presented in Table 1, Sitio Lusaran was the chosen community.
CHAPTER III
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
BARANGAY LAPAZ
A. Historical Background
At turn of the 19th century, when there was abundant rice harvest in some parts
of Negros Occidental, many of farms laborers from Guimbal, San Joaquin, Miagao,
Oton and Igbaras travelled between Iloilo and Negros Island. Playing the route were
sailboats which was popularly known as lorcha or dos palos, an old type of sea vessel.
During the month of October to January, when storm winds blew towards the northwest,
the boat load of the harvesters would seek shelter at Sitio Himal-os, popularly known as
Mal-os, halfway from Panay to Negros.
The harvesters would then recount to their families how their boats landed in
Sitio Himal-os, termed Luzaran (now a sitio adjacent to Himal-os). The entire island of
Guimaras was known as Himal-os then to the hometown of these harvesters in Panay
and even to their workplaces in Negros.
Sometime in 1893-1895, a family from Puyo or Santa Ana (part of Poblacion
Nueva Valencia) brought with them an image of Nuestra Seniora De La Paz y Buen
Viaje at Sitio Himal-os. From then on, the image became the Patron Saint of Sitio
Himal-os with the villagers celebrating her religious feast every 23-24th of January. The
village was eventually named Barangay La Paz in honor of the Patron Saint.
B. Physical Profile
Barangay La Paz, located in the southern part of the municipality of Nueva
Valencia, is one of the 96 barangays of Guimaras. It is 16 kilometers away from the
municipality proper of Nueva Valencia, 40 kilometres away from Jordan Wharf and 32
kilometres away from the provincial capitol. It is bounded by Barangay Salvacion in the
north, Barangay San Roque in the west-northwest, Barangay Cabalgnan in the eastnortheast and Panay gulf in the south facing Sulu Sea.
It has a total land area of 590.5717 hectares, divided into eight sitios namely
Sumirib, Tigcalayo, Luzaran, Alaman Sur, Alaman Norte, Tuguisan, Pototan and
Lusong. It has a total population of 2,006 comprised by around 448 families and 414
households. Four old monuments denote the separation of Barangay La Paz to its
neighbouring barangays which are Barangay San
Jose, Barangay Salvacion and Barangay Cabalagnan.
Generally, the terrain of the barangay is rolling flat. It is gently sloping and
steeply undulating at the northwest and the northeast facing Barangay Cabalagnan and
Barangay San Roque. The elevation is approximately 524 feet above sea level. The soil
types are gravely loam, faroam, clay and beach sand.

Figure 3. Sex Distribution of Population in Barangay Lapaz
Barangay La Paz has a total population of 2,006 compounded of 1,018 males

and 988 females. Sumirib has the highest number of population followed by Lusong,
Lusaran, Tigcalayo, Alman Norte, Alman Sur, Tugisan and Pototan respectively. The
average family size is 6 members/ family. The ratio is 1:1.
D. Health Profile
The top five cases of mortality and morbidity for the barangay in recent years
were unavailable when the ocular inspection was conducted. Yet, based on the
nutritional survey conducted by the Provincial Health Office of Guimaras, Barangay La
Paz ranked first among the other barangays with the highest prevalence of malnutrition.
10
Based on personal interviews by the Public Health students to the Barangay

Health Worker, malnutrition is the most severe problem in the area. Upper respiratory
tract infections, cardiovascular disease and diabetes for older persons are also
common.
In terms of health facilities, a health center is present in the barangay which
serves as a pre-natal center for pregnant women. Nueva Valencia District Hospital is
located in the nearby barangay of Lanipe. Once a week, the Municipal Health Officer
visits the barangay for consultation and giving of vaccines to infants. Every six months,
a deworming activity is held at La Paz Elementary School, wherein pupils are
administered with albendazole. Unfortunately, there is no monitoring of the pupils
infection. Also, no previous written record was shown as to whoever was administered
with the drug.
E. Socio-economic Factors
1. Economic Indices
Land Use Distribution
The land area is generally covered with naturally grown trees and scattered
patches of bush and shrubs are found in the hilly portion of the village. Only a tiny
portion of the area is cultivated for agricultural crops such as mango, rice, corn and
other cash crops.
Vegetable crops are poorly grown because the soil cannot support their growth
since it is generally made up of limestone and topsoil is not very fertile. Large area of
11
the land is composed of fruit bearing trees such as cashew, mango, jackfruit and santol,
diminishing the availability for agricultural use.
The road is rough, hilly and dusty, making agricultural lands limited. Three creeks
cut across the barangay. Fishponds can also be found beside the shoreline of Alman
Norte, Alman Sur and Tuguisan. Mangrove trees are copious on the shoreline of Sitio
Pototan and Taklong Island.
Main Sources of Income

Barangay La Paz has a dual economy composed of farming and fishing. 80% of
the populations are fisher folks. There are about 426 fisher folks who are mostly heads
of the family.
However, residents cannot fish freely anywhere the vicinity because Taklong
Island is a protected area and a marine sanctuary. Limited area is allowed for fishing.
Because of this, farming became an alternative source of livelihood in the barangay.
About 90% of household heads are agricultural workers. Other sources of income are
livestock raising, fuel gathering and charcoal making.
Based on the Minimum Basic Needs (MBN) survey, the standard poverty
threshold level income of the barangay is Php 3,800.00 per month. 40% fall below
poverty line with 160 families having an income below subsistence threshold level and
246 families having an income above 3,800.00 per month. Survey indicated that 78.53%
of the total household heads are unemployed (no regular occupation) and 21.47% are
employed.
12
2. Social Welfare Indices

Transportation
Public vehicles in the barangay are limited, making transportation difficult. From
Jordan Wharf, one needs to go to Alibhon transport terminal and ride a jeepney bound
for Cabalagnan. Since the barangay proper is away from the provincial road, one must
hire a motorcycle in La Paz junction to go directly to any sitio in the barangay. Other
means of transportation would include renting a van which would go directly to La Paz
but for a more expensive price.
Communication
The source of radio and television signals in the barangay is from Bacolod City
since the barangay faces Negros Island. Communication through cellular phones is very
difficult in the area because of the absence of cell sites. If the residents want to
communicate with their families or peers through wireless phones, one must go to Sitio
Sumirib or Sitio Lusong where the signal is somehow present.
Dissemination of information within the barangay is effective since house-tohouse method is used. In addition, each Barangay Kagawad is in-charge of a certain
sitio where he/she needs to inform the sitio residents of upcoming assemblies or
activities in the barangay.
Education
The literacy level of barangay population is estimated at about 80%. There is
only one existing primary school in the barangay, thus majority of the population are in
13
the elementary level. There is also a nearby day care center that caters to children
aged 3-5 years old.
Housing
Houses in the barangay reflect typical rural homes. 77.19% are made up of light
materials (bamboo slits and nipa), 17.54% are made up of wood, cement and
galvanized roofing (semi-concrete) and 5.36% are permanent structures (made of
hallow blocks, cement and galvanized roofing).
Electrification
Electricity is supplied and distributed by the Guimaras Electric Cooperative
(GUIMELCO) in all sitios of Barangay La Paz. However, 144 houses still do not have
electricity. Gas lamps are used instead as an alternative source of light.
Infrastructure Facilities
A health center could be found in the barangay. Other structures present include
an elementary school, barangay hall, day care center and tanod outposts. A chapel also
stands near the barangay hall, but no regular masses are held. In addition, the UPV
Marine Research Station is also situated in the barangay as Taklong Island is part of it.
14
3. Environmental Indices
Safe Water Supply
Residents of the barangay usually get their drinking water from deep wells. Other
households prefer to buy purified water which are being delivered twice a week. Some
residents from Sitio Alman Norte obtain drinking water from the creek.
Human Waste and Garbage Disposal

Problems arose in terms of human waste and garbage disposal which led to the
implementation of a regulation that every house must meticulously segregate their
garbage and must build their own compost pit.
Human excreta are disposed in open exposed areas near the river but in the
opposite direction of the wind. Burning of garbage is a common practice in the
community. The barangay lacks toilet per household, thus a communal toilet called the
antipolo was built for some of the residents.

4. Socio-cultural and Political Indices

Religion
Almost all of the residents are Roman Catholic (99.5%) while the rest are Born
Again Christians. There is a Catholic Chapel found in every sitio of Barangay La Paz
except in Sitio Pototan. Only Sitio Lusaran has a regular monthly mass, except during
sitio and patronal fiesta. For Sunday masses and Holy Days, they go to Nueva Valencia
or to San Miguel, Jordan.
Social Activity
Most men in the barangay are engaged in cockfighting, drinking (whisky, beer or
tuba) gambling (pusoy dos, tong hits and majong) and playing basketball. During night
time, some of them are watching TV while others prefer to listen to the radio. Among the
eight sitios, six have their own basketball courts.
Social Structure
The community has barangay officials who conduct sessions tackling the
problems and goals in the community such as maintaining peace and order, improving
health and sanitation, promoting education, upholding protection for women and
16
children, sustaining environmental and marine protection, livelihood, infrastructures and

developing sports to achieve camaraderie in the community.
Political Structure
Barangay officials are from Punong Barangay down to Barangay Kagawads who
are assigned to different sitios, Barangay Health Workers, Barangay Council for the
Protection of Children, Barangay Tanods, Lupon ng Tagapayapa/Tagapamahala,
Sangguniang Kabataan, and other officials such as Day Care Worker, Nutrition Scholar,
Service Point Officer and Utility Worker.
Barangay Officials, especially kagawads, meet regularly to be updated on the
weekly and monthly activities of the barangay.
Components of the Health Sector

There are nine Barangay Health Workers and a Barangay Nutrition Scholar in the
barangay. They are tasked to provide high-quality health to the natives. They spearhead
routine deworming done every six months. They assist in medical missions from nongovernment organizations. Prevention of malnutrition is the main target of the Barangay
Nutrition Scholar.
Health Facilities and Human Resources

The barangay has a health center located in Sitio Lusong which is not wellequipped with needed facilities. A Rural Health Officer (RHO) visits the health center
once a week.
17
SITIO LUSONG
Sitio Lusong is one of the eight sitios of Barangay La Paz. It got its name from
the famous material made of wood called lusong, which is used to mill the rice for food.
It serves as the entrance and exit point of all sitios as it is the first sitio that can be come
across as the barangay is entered. The sitio is under Brangay Kagawad Mildred Ortiz.
A. Sociodemographic Characteristics
Sitio Lusong is composed of 85 families, distributed to 83 households. Its total
population is 395 (196 males and 199 females), second highest in population next to
Sitio Sumirib.
1. Education
La Paz Elementary School is situated in Sitio Lusong where most of the children
are enrolled. During their secondary education, they enrol either in Salvation National
High School or in Cabalagnan National High School which are situated in the
neighbouring barangays. Some also attend private schools in Nueva Valencia proper or
in San Miguel, Jordan. For their college degrees or vocation courses, most enrol at
West Visayas College of Science and Technology located at Barangay Alaguisoc,
Jordan, Guimaras while others are enrolled in Iloilo City. Most parents are elementary
and high school graduates only. Some didnt even finish in grade school level.
18
2. Religious Affiliations
Majority of the residents in Sitio Lusong are Roman Catholics. There is a Catholic
Chapel in the sitio with no regular masses except during Sitio and Patronal Fiesta. Sitio
fiesta is celebrated during the month of January.
B. Economic Profile
Most of the people in the sitio are into farming and fishing. Also, men/husbands
engage in carpentry and driving motorcycle vehicles for hire. Others are construction
and contractual workers in Iloilo City. Women are mostly housewives and are selfemployed by selling products and goods whenever they are available for extra income.
Other livelihood sources are livestock raising, fuel gathering and charcoal making.
C. Sociocultural Aspects
1. Housing Facilities
Majority of the houses are made up of light materials (bamboo slits and nipa)
while some include wood, cement and galvanized roofings and hollow blocks. Electricity
is distributed throughout the sitio.
2. Recreation and Recreational Facilities

Most men in the sitio engage in cockfighting, drinking and gambling, especially
during wakes. In the afternoon, residents prefer to sleep while some play basketball.
During night time, some are watching TV while others listen to the radio.
19
3. Transportation and Communication

Sitio Lusong can be reached by a one and a half hour jeepney or van ride from
Jordan Wharf. A one kilometer walk or motorcycle ride from the provincial road will lead
to the houses in the sitio.
Since cellphone signal is scarce within the sitio, only a few residents have
cellphones. Means of communication are primarily via televisions, newspapers, radio
and group discussions.
D. Health and Sanitation

The common causes of morbity among the residents are cold, fever, cough
pneumonia, flu, diarrhea, sore eyes, stomach ache and head ache. Adults suffer
rheumatism and hypertension. Most of the residents go directly to the health center for
medical attention. For serious cases, patients are brought to Guimaras Provincial
Hospital, 30kms away or to Lanipe Community Hospital, 8kms away. Old age, cancer,
tuberculosis, heart failure and cardiac arrest were found to be the causes of mortality in
the sitio.
One prevalent case in the sitio, especially among children, is malnutrition,
according to the Operation Timbang conducted for Project Kalusugan at Kalinisan sagot
sa Kahirapan of the Unilabs Positive Ideas. Sitio Lusong with 16 malnourished children
from ages 4-10 ranked 2nd among the sitios in the barangay.
Moreover, most of the houses in the sitio have toilets and they practice waste
management measures through segregation.
20
CHAPTER IV
PROBLEM ANALYSIS
A. Identification of the Problem

Problem identification in Sitio Lusong was done through ocular inspection,
situational analysis and interview with the households and with the Barangay Health
Worker to assess major health problems in the community. Three major problems were
identified by the group, namely hypertension, upper respiratory tract infection and
protein energy malnutrition.
A decision matrix was then devised by the group to identify the problem to be
prioritized. Problem prioritization was based on the following criteria:
1. Morbidity- refers to the frequency of the occurence a disease
2. Vulnerability of the solution- tells us how susceptible and effective a solution
is if applied to the community. This is divided into, prevention which is the
slowing down the action of a specific disease and cure refers to restoring an
ill person to health
3. Social concern- refers to how important the problem is to the community. This
takes into account the awareness of the community to several diseases and
how they react to or perceive such diseases.
4. Existing policies- refer to the present strategies, interventions, and on-going
actions and programs that may be utilized to address the problem identified
5. Feasibility and Sustainability- refer to the applicability and practicality of the
possible interventions to the identified problem based on resources and time
21
available and whether these interventions can address the problem on a longterm basis

in ranking the problem. The problem with the lowest number was prioritized and ranked
highest. Protein Energy Malnutrition, with the total score of 9 was ranked 1 st and
therefore determined to be the priority problem.

23
B.
Problem Tree Analysis

There is a high prevalence of protein energy malnutrition among children ages 3
to 12 years old in Sitio Lusong, Barangay La Paz, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. This
health problem severely affects children, affecting their physical and mental
development, and in the long run will lead to poor academic performance, unhealthy
living and prone to infections. Based on the last health survey, Sitio Lusong was ranked
2nd among sitios with highest cases of protein energy malnutrtion in Barangay Lapaz,
Nueva Valencia, Guimaras
The group will focus on children 3 to 12 years old because they are the most
vulnerable age group to such disease. The group has identified three immediate causes
of this problem which includes failure to detect malnutrition cases due to lack of trained
personnel, insufficient nutrient intake and increased susceptibility to infections. There is
insufficient nutrient intake due to lack of knowledge on proper nutrition as well as
insufficient sources of nutritious food. The lack of water supply as well
as the
knowledge regarding vegetable garden maintenance may have contributed to the

insufficient harvest from the backyard garden.
The occurrence of protein energy malnutrition is brought about by not observing
good hygiene and proper environmental sanitation among residents. This is due to the
fact that they do not have adequate health education because of the lack of personnel
to conduct health education activities among the residents

Aged 3-12 Years Old of Sitio Lusong, Barangay La Paz, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras
25
C. Objective Tree Analysis

Team BAM aims to decrease the prevalence of protein energy malnutrition
among the residents of Sitio Lusong, Brgy. La Paz, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras, aged 3
to 12 years old. In doing so, two main steps are to be done. The curative and preventive
steps.
Included in the curative step are increasing the availability of nutritious food for
the residents in the area. Protein Energy Malnutrition is mainly due to insufficient intake
of food rich in needed nutrients leading to starvation and the development of lifethreatening conditions. With this, the team decides to distribute insumix as well as to
teach mothers how to prepare malunggay powder in order to increase nutritional intake
of the children. In addition, the group will help in maintaining vegetable gardens that are
present in the sitio to improve the availability of healthy food given the far distance from
the market.
One may be cured from malnutrition but the possibility of acquiring it again
remains. Thus, the group decided to perform the preventive step which would involve
improving the health education among residents. With this, the team will conduct a
series of lectures on proper food nutrition, nutritional needs of the family and different
types of malnutrition . Furthermore, there is a need to increase the knowledge, attitude,
and practice of parents on how to prevent getting their children malnourished. Lectures
on child and maternal health care as well as proper sanitation and hygiene will be
conducted to enhance the health of their families. Different health education materials
will also be given to the residents such as nutri-calendars, nutri-guides, etc. to
encourage the mothers to serve nutritious meal to their children
26
The group has identified five major objectives to reduce the prevalence of Protein
Energy Malnutrition among children aged 3 to 12 years old in Sitio Lusong distribution
of insumix, teaching mothers on preparing malunggay powder for supplementation as
well as properly maintaining vegetable gardens, improving health education among the
residents by conducting lectures on nutrition, proper hygiene and good sanitation, and
to improve proper detection of malnutrition cases. The execution of each objective will
be discussed in detail in their respective logical frameworks.
Particular objectives to solve the underlying and root causes of the core problem
were pointed out as presented in the Objective Tree above. With this, Team BAM has
determined the actions to combat Protein Energy Malnutrition in Sitio Lusong, Brgy. La
Paz, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras.

VI. ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT
Objective # 1: To form and establish an efficient, disciplined and well-ordered

core group for the project
A week before the immersion started, the team visited Sitio Lusong for an ocular
inspection, pre-weighing and selection of core group. A meeting with the barangay
officials were held and from this, a core group was formed. The core group is mainly
composed of residents of the Sitio. There were representatives from the group of
mothers, fathers, barangay officials, and school principal. The core group has 10
members who volunteered to give service to the community
SITIO LUSONG CORE GROUP:

Head: Mildred Ortiz (Barangay Kagawad)
Members:
1. Corazon Endrigano (School Principal)
2. Susita Gapasangra (elder)
3. Jasmin Gapasangra (mother)
4. Shella Mae Omalde (mother)
5. Arlene Gamuza (mother)
6. Salvacion Titular (mother)
7. Roan Estacion (youth)
8. Eli Gapasangra (father)

Objective # 2: To increase nutritional intake of undernourished children aged 3-12

years old in Sitio Lusong by 60 %
In order to select the target population, the pre-weighing or the first Operation
Timbang was done. Children aged 3-12 years old were weighed and using the Weight
for Age and Weight for Height Chart, malnourished children were identified.

Figure 4. Nutritional Status of Children Aged 3-12 years old in Sitio Lusong before and
after project implementation.
Initial weighing showed that out of 77 children weighed, 26 were considered

undernourished (34 %): 11 undernourished (14 %), 15 undernourished and thin (20 %)
(see fig 4) .
As in results showed, there is an 11% increase of normal children. Out of the 26
initially classified as malnourished, only 6 remained. After 6 weeks of project
implementation, the group was able to achieve the goal wherein there was a 76.92 %
61
decrease of malnutrition. Twenty children became normal (77 %) while 6 (23 %)

remained malnourished: 4 undernourished and 2 thin.
This was due to the activities done by the group in order for the children to gain
weight. One activity doned was the distribution of insumix, rich in protein and
carbohydrates, to serve as food supplements for their children. These products were
distributed thrice during the stay in the community. The insumix received by the mothers
were used and incorporated in their viands or rice and was even considered by the
mothers as palatable for their children.
These results were achieved also due to the lectures conducted by the
proponents and invited speakers from the municipal health office. These lectures
included importance of malunggay and lemon grass, backyard gardening and
maintenance. These lectures may have contributed to the knowledge of the mothers on
what crops to plant on their gardens and how malunggay powder and lemongrass tea
can be healthy for their children.
To motivate the children to eat more nutritious food, the proponents announced
that prizes will be given to theBiggest Gainer. The biggest gainer was used to
encourage the children to gain weight. This was based on the pre- and post-weighing
results. The winner for the biggest gainer was Angelo Galvez, who gained 3 kilos.
Another motivator, this time for the mothers, is the Heealthiest Plate. The healthiest
plate was based on the weekly food recall sheet given to us by the mothers where the
proponents would asses the nutritional contents of the meals prepared by the mothers.
The healthiest plate award was given to Mrs. Maria Gracia Tumarong.
62
just for competition but also to teach and enable the mothers prepare and serve
a variety of nutritious food for their children.

Week #
Figure 5. Weekly Monitoring of Malnourished Children
One of the main goals of the project is to decrease the number of malnutrition
cases by 70 %. Every week, the changes in weight of the children were monitored.
Figure 5 shows that there is a decrease in malnutrition cases as the weeks go by from
week 1 to 5.
A t-test was performed to see if there is a significant difference in the

weights of the children before and after implementing the project. Results
showed that the mean weight of the children after six weeks is significantly lower
(p=0.000) compared before.
63
Figure 6. Nutritional Intake of Malnourished Children Aged 3-12 years old in Sitio
Lusong
In terms of nutritional intake, weekly food recall was done. From this, the group
was able to compute the nutritional intake of children before and after the lectures on
proper food nutrition.
After the project implementation, the result showed that there is a 62.36 %
increase in protein intake, a 36.62 % increase in carbohydrate intake and 76.07 %
increase in fat intake for a total of 47.30 % increase in total caloric intake. All of the
percentage increase in nutrient intake is statistically significant except for the fat intake.
Even though the group wasnt able to achieve the goal of 60 % increase in the
total caloric intake, the result is still statistically significant since the p value is less than
0.05.

The group also compared the total caloric intake of malnourished children before
and after the lectures from the Recommended Energy and Nutrient Intake. The RENI
for energy for children ages 3 years old is 1070 calories, 1410 calories for 4-6 years
old, 1600 for 7-9 years old and 1920 for 10-12 years old. In this figure, it is shown that
before the conduction of lectures regarding proper food nutrition, the mean caloric
intake for all age groups was below the RENI. After the lectures, the mean caloric
intakes of all age groups increased and were even greater than the RENI for their
respective age groups. A series of successive lectures and activities indeed
contributed to the type of food the mothers prepare for their children, thus increasing
nutritional intake for the children.
65
Objective # 3: To increase knowledge and awareness regarding Proper Food

Nutrition among residents of Sitio Lusong by 60 %
Primarily, in order to increase the knowledge of mothers regarding Proper Food
Nutrition, the group adopted the program PABASA SA NUTRISYON by the Nutrition
Center of The Philippines. This program is an information-sharing type of activity
wherein its purpose is to educate mothers of malnourished children in the proper
selection and preparation of family meals that is affordable yet nutritious for the
prevention and control of malnutrition. It also includes basic nutrition information and
nutritional requirements for different age groups, pregnant and lactating mothers.
The PABASA SA NUTRISYON kit is composed of several health education
materials such as Nutri-Guide, Flipchart, Play and Learn Kit and Community Guide.
These materials were used by the group to make the lectures interactive and fun.
The PABASA is composed of 7 lectures namely:
Lecture 1: Importance of Malunggay and Lemon Grass
Lecture 2: Importance of Vegetable Garden and Choosing the Right Crops
Lecture 3: Nutritional Needs of the Family
Lecture 4: Proper Food Nutrition
Lecture 5: Malnutrition and Hidden Hunger
Lecture 6: Meal Planning and Food Selection
Lecture 7: Child and Maternal Health care
Most of the lectures were lectured by the group while for lecture 2, 4 and 7 these
were headed by invited resource speakers namely: Teodoro Daguro (Agriculturist),
66
Susan Garingalao (Municipal Nutrition Action Officer), and Mercedita Espinolla

(Barangay Nutrition Scholar) respectively.
To evaluate if the mothers have learned something from the lectures, pre-test
and post-test were given every lecture. The test result for each lecture is as follows:

From the table above, it can be observed that the knowledge of all mothers
increased after having lectures. However, only the percentage increase in lectures 1, 2,
5 and 7 are said to be statistically significant.
Since the pre-test scores of the mothers are already high, only a small
percentage of increase (29.32 %) in their knowledge was observed. This means that
the group failed to achieve their goal of 60 % increase. However, even though the
percentage increase is low, a significant relationship exists between the pre-tests and
post-test scores for PABASA. This signifies that the lectures conducted were effective.
67
After the series of lectures, a quiz bee was held to test the mothers retention of r
knowledge from the lectures. This quiz bee was divided into three parts: the easy,
average and hard round. Three teams competed in this quiz bee and the group with
the highest score was declared the winner. In this game, group 2 have won with a total
score of 45 followed by both groups 1 and 3 with a score of 37. The winning group
received free yakult from the Rotary.
Aside from series of lectures, the group also distributed several health education
materials such as
calendars with incorporated nutritious recipes and nutritional
guidelines, and bookmarks with 10 signs of good nutrition.

Nutri-guides were also distributed among the mothers. This is a colorful and easy
to follow guide for use by parents, health and nutrition workers and volunteers that
provide basic nutrition information, identifies malnutrition problems and suggests
solutions on how these problems can be solved in the most practical ways
Film Showing and Roleplaying were also done last March 9, 2013. The objective
of this activity is to promote and encourage the children to eat nutritious food especially
fruits and vegetable. After the said activity, parlor games were done and the kids
danced all throughout the activity.
To acknowledge the participation of mothers in the lectures, graduation
ceremony was held during the culminating activity. Certificates and ribbons were given
to the mothers as well as to children who participated in the program. Just like a typical
graduation, outstanding mothers were also awarded.
68
Objective # 4: To increase knowledge and awareness regarding Proper Hygiene

and Sanitation
A lecture on infectious diseases as well as proper hygiene and sanitation was
conducted among the mothers and malnourished children in Sitio Lusong. The lecture
was headed by JC Belle Saladar wherein she also demonstrated proper hand washing
procedures. Pre-test and Post-test were also given to the mothers for evaluation.
In the table below, it can be observed that there is an
increase in their
knowledge after the lecture by 90.67 %. This means that the group successfully
achieved their goal. Furthermore, a significant relationship exists between the pre-test
and post-test scores for this lecture. This shows that the lecture conducted was really
effective.

hygiene.
Objective # 5: To increase knowledge regarding PEM and how to detect

69
Since the major problem of our community was malnutrition among children ages
3-12 years, Mel Vincent Oliva and Jc Belle Saladar gave a lecture regarding ProteinEnergy Malnutrition (PEM) to the mothers last February 22, 2013 in the community. Pretest and post-test were also given for evaluation. The result of the tests showed that
there was an increase of 103 % in the knowledge of mothers regarding PEM. This result
is also statistically significant making the lecture effective

For the identification of malnourished children, the group gave out Weight for Age
charts, which will serve as their guide.The group then taught them how to use the chart
and let them try to solve, so that they will be able to monitor their childrens weights.
Other Activity
Medical Mission
A medical mission was held last March 16, 2013 in the Brgy. Health Center of the
community. 42 people were accommodated during that day. The most common
illnesses that the community had at that time were colds and allergies and children were
given vitamin supplements such as Appebon and Ceelin. With the help of Dr. Riza
Subade, Maam Marilou Zenith, and the other nurses from Nueva Valencia, the medical
mission became a success.
70
VII. CULMINATING ACTIVITY
As the community immersion and health projects came to an end, plans for the
culminating activity were done. The culminating activity was composed of four different
events namely: Graduation of PABASA sa NUTRISYON mothers, Nutrifest, Search for
Little Mr. and Ms. BUSOG LUSONG, and Project Output Presentation.
Prior to the activities, the contestants for the pageant were rehearsed on their
production number and mothers were informed regarding the flow of the activity. On
March 23, 2013, preparations for the activity began early in the morning. Foods for the
NUTRIFEST were prepared and the site of the party was groomed to suit the occasion.
The culminating activity started around 3:00 pm in the afternoon. It was attended by
Mrs. Susan Garingalao, Municipal Nutrition Action Officer, Ms. Corazon Edrigano the
school principal, BHWs, barangay officials, Maam Adrienne Marrie Bugayong, adviser
of the group and some other residents of Sitio Lusong.
The program started with the short invocation and an opening remarks from the
team leader, John Christopher Luces. After this, the graduation proper was done.
Mothers as well as their children received certificates as well as ribbons for finishing
the PABASA sa NUTRISYON program. Special Awards were also given to mothers
who did well in the lectures. After giving the awards, the class valedictorian, Shella
71
Mae Omalde, gave her valedictory speech wherein she thanked the teams effort in
helping and educating them towards malnutrition
After the graduation, it is now time to serve the nutritious snacks that were
contributed by the group as well as the mothers (NUTRIFEST). This serves as snacks
for the guests as well as for the audience in the culminating activity.
The search for Mr. and Ms. Little BUSOG Lusong was also held. This is an
avenue to showcase the talents of the children of Sitio Lusong as well as to promote
the use of recyclable materials. Each of the participants enthusiastically shared their
talents, proudly walked through the stage and pompously smiled to the audiences as
they battle for titles at stake. At the end of the pageant, EJ Gapasangra and Sofia Jane
Gayas was crowned as Mr. and Ms. Little BUSOG Lusong.
72
VII. PROBLEMS AND CONSTRAINTS
The group identified the problems that were encountered during the community
immersion. The important constraints that were pointed out were:
1. Inadequate and highly expensive transportation facilities

Transportation is expensive because the location is far. Jeepney and vans are
limited because the last trip of these vehicles travel is only up until 10am. After that,
transportation is not readily available and the last option you have is to travel via a
motorcycle from our sitio to Jordan wharf.
2. Poor transportation infrastructure

Dusty and rough road add up to the physical stress experienced by the group
members.
3. Lack of water supply

Sitio Lusong is in the moutanious part of the barangay, water supply is
insufficient that is why we still have to buy gallons of water for our daily use every
week.
4. Poor communication facilities

Communication is also difficult for the group because of the poor signal of the cell
phone in the community. Implementation of the activities is difficult because the
73
group is experiencing a delay in exchange of information, a difficulty in

communicating to their adviser for consultation, and a difficulty in communicating
with resource speakers.
5. Difficulty in scheduling health lectures and activities

Schedules for the health lectures and activities were sometimes deferred
because of the unavailability of some mothers.
Other problems encountered in the project implementation includes lack of
funds, lack of trained or professional individuals to carry out several lecture forums
and for the medical mission as well.
Attendance and participation of some mothers is also one of the major problems
encountered. This is why the group has to do house-to house lecture for those
absent mothers to have a complete data.

Dear Dr. Divinagracia,
Greetings!
The University of the Philippines Visayas is currently offering the course Bachelor of Science in
Public Health. As part of its curriculum, the PH 195: Public Health Practice is being taught to
its senior students in which a project related to public health is required. One aim of our course
is to provide extension services to public/private institutions and communities for the
improvement of public health.
In connection to this, our group chose to address the problem on malnutrition and chose Sitio
Lusong Barangay Lapaz, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras to be our community. The province of
Guimaras continues to have increased number of malnourished children and most of these
children reside in Sitio Lusong. Our project aims to decrease the number of malnourished
children in this sitio through series of lectures and seminar workshops on proper nutrition,
proper detection of malnourished children, preparation of nutritious food, and proper hygiene.
We will also conduct medical mission and feeding programs for identified malnourished children.
This project will be carried out from February 13 to March 22, 2013.
To gear us towards the success of this project, our group humbly asks you if we can solicit
vitamins and medicines for our medical mission this coming March 16, 2013.
For further inquiries, please feel free to contact us through number given below. Also, for your
reference, we attached in this letter the schedule of our proposed activities.
Thank you very much and may God continue to shower you with His graces.

From the previous ocular inspection and interviews conducted by the group, malnutrition has
been evident which urge us to put our focus on. Our project is entitled Project B.U.S.O.G.:
Batang Undernourished Sagipin at Busogin sa Lusong. The project aims to decrease
malnutrition prevalence in Lusong especially on children aged 3 to 12 years old. The group has
several programs in mind like increasing the availability of nutritious foods through feeding
programs, provision or food supplements and making of vegetable gardens. We also aim to
improve the health education in your community through lectures from speakers with expertise
on fields that would help address and lessen such health problem.
