During our interview day, we ask kuya Guillermo about their house and their environment.
According to kuya Guillermo they are 4 in the house including their mother which is Nanay Salvacion,
ate Amalia, kuya Romeo and of course kuya Salvacion. Based on the initial data base of the family
their house is enough for them and when they are sleeping, they have their own bed. They also have
2 bedrooms inside their house. When it comes to their environment there are lots of mosquitoes
everywhere and also inside their house. Which is true because they have electric fan but only nanay
Salvacion is the one who’s using it. Their house is paved in an upscale area, with slippery trails, and
lots of rocks. They use wood-burning stoves always and sometimes they use gas stove. They don't
have food storage like the refrigerator but they have a very good source of water coming from rivers
and mountains. Their bathroom is made of woven wood and their gutters are clean, but when it rains
out loud it becomes dirty. Their place is quiet and simple. Kuya Guillermo say their health center's
facilities are inadequate because they often run out of medicine and jeep and tricycle are the only
transportation they have to their area. They don’t have radio but they have cellphone which they use
when calling to their relatives. Inside their house, you can see a small store where they take their daily
needs.
