ANALYSIS, INTERPRETATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The data shows that most of the elderly in Brgy. Guindag-an engaged in farming and that is their main
source of income comprising of 42.30%. Next is dependent with their family and relatives comprising
of 41.02%. 7.69 % are laborer, 3.84% are business owners and 2.56% considered their incentives as
their source of income. While, there are 1.28% of pension and tailor as their primary source of income.
This only shows that most of the elderly population are still active in working for their daily expenses.
Their average monthly income mostly ranges from below 1,000-5,000 which is 73.07% of the
population. Fewer elderly has an income that can meet and satisfy their basic needs. Those with low
monthly income cannot give proper attention to their health and recreation matters thus probably leading
to physical as well as mental weakness. This only shows that the elderly population still does their best
to increase their income to provide their daily needs.
In terms of educational status of the elderly, most of the elderly population is elementary level which is
67.94% and elementary graduate which is 17.94%. This shows that there is a need for health education
and health promotion for elderly in the barangay based on their educational status. By educating the
elderly in the community about ways to improve quality life, the chances of individuals implementing
their knowledge into their lives increase, thus, increasing the chances of a longer and healthier life.

ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION
For the method of domestic water waste disposal, 80.76% of them have open drainage while the
remaining 19.23% have already blind drainage.
Based on the given data, most of the households use open drainage system which implies the presence of
breeding sites of vectors of diseases which makes the barangay more susceptible to mosquito-bourne
diseases like dengue. Collected stagnant water releases bad odor and may contaminate other sources of
drinking water. Furthermore, the high rate of households with open-drainage implies that the community
people lack sufficient knowledge regarding the importance of blind drainage and the negative effects of
the open-drainage system.
In terms of food storage, most of the elderly practices proper food storage like using covered pot,
tupperware and refrigerator. This implies that they are aware on the importance of proper food storage in
the prevention of food contamination and protection from food bourne-diseases.
Taking a look at their method of refuse disposal, most of the elderly use burning and open dumping. It
implies that there will be possible breeding places of rodents and insects.
Regarding excreta disposal 98.77% of elderly population has water sealed toilet. This implies that
majority of the elderly HH was practicing proper excreta disposal and it also implies that they are aware
about the importance of it.
With these environmental situation, we can see that domestic water waste disposal (open drainage),
improper refuse disposal of garbage and improper animal management (astray) are not their priority
health related problems. Not addressing to these problems would imply more diarrheal and dengue cases
and increase risks of injuries and accidents.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
 Firmly implement the barangay ordinance on sanitation so that no one is exempted from
constructing blind drainage. Domestic water waste should be properly disposed for it could be a
breeding place of insects that carry microorganisms that causes contaminations to food and
water, so having blind drainage is very important because open drainage can threaten the health
of the elderly people and from keeping their animals fenced/tied to prevent the risks of
injuries/accidents.
 Mobilize the health workers to strengthen their campaign on environmental sanitation.
 Conduct health education highlighting on proper environmental sanitation and the effects of
improper EVS to health, to promote community awareness. Conducting clean and green
campaign will help in improving the EVS status and in gaining the people’s cooperation.
 Refuse sanitation is also important, because it can be a breeding place of insects and flies.
Organic materials tend to decay and give up foul odor, and contribute to respiratory tract
infection and they also serve as fire hazards and it can also contaminate the sources of water.
