The profile of selected communities in Maragondon, Cavite: A basis for enhancement of a five-year development plan

Abstract

This study surveyed the needs of Barangays Talipusngo and Layong Mabilog, in Maragondon, Cavite, as sites for possible adopted communities of St. Dominic College of Asia for outreach and extension services. The study involved 69 respondents from Talipusngo and 71 from Layong Mabilog, who represented 30% of the households in the community. The respondents were selected by quota sampling since the researchers only included household members who were available for the survey and interview. Barangays Talipusngo and Layong Mabilog comprise households that are mostly nuclear and are composed of families with more than three or four children each. In addition, in terms of authority, most are patriarchal. The majority of the residents had been in their respective barangays for more than 26 years. Most of the community members only acquired basic education, and most families are considered poor considering their small income. Moreover, the majority owned their houses, which were mostly made of concrete or mixed (concrete-wood) materials. They have health center facilities that are fully utilized for maternal and child care. Most of the members of the community in both barangays have their own individual water supply connections. In Talipusngo, the majority disposed of their garbage by burning, while in Layong Mabilog, they segregated and recycled their solid waste. For sewerage and waste water disposal, the majority used pit latrine types. They are aware of the existence of an organization, and they are involved. Communication is not a problem since almost all were given by the respondents, with cellular phones being their major communication gadgets. As to their family status for the last five years, they claimed that their status is the same as usual, meaning the status quo. Members of the community identified food as their primary need, followed by financial needs, education, health, and clothing. Family-related problems are mostly financial in nature. Community-related problems include garbage, roads, and water systems, including insects, pests, and animals. An extensive outreach program has to be developed by the institution as an offshoot of the community needs survey to include the findings of the study.
