B. Developmental Goals and Activities
Community Organization Participatory Action Research aims to equip student
nurses to gain not only the actual experience serve in community life but also educate
them to adapt with the realities of life, preparing them to face the challenges of
everyday life.
Through this program, the student nurses allow to demonstrate the different
functions of community health nurse. These will enhance them to exemplify their
abilities as a facilitator, supervisor, motivator, advocate, counselor, and an educator.
Our main goal is to improve the quality of life of the people through making the
community self reliant. This is by empowering them and by realizing them the need of
change toward health. It maximizes community participation and involvement in social
transformation.
Their consciousness for change is our fuel for community mobilization creating
programs and activities that will help them to achieve community development.
C. Community History
Miguel Pineda in 1763, the first "Captain Municipal" of the place founded it. It was
said that Miguel Pineda, a native of Angat, went hunting one day and he happened to
reach barrio San Bartolome, located at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains. Finding
the place suitable for this chosen by the settlers to be their leader.
The barrio improved through his leadership and decides to expand their territory.
He then later discovered a progressive community named Sto. Rosario whose leader
was Mariano Puno. The two agreed to form a town between Bartolome (now Tartaro)
and Sto. Rosario (now Mandile). They chose Miguel Mayumo to be the name of the
town, which should be included in the province of Pampanga. Miguel was in honor of
Miguel Pineda and Mayumo, a Pampango word for "sweet", stands for the goodwill and
generosity of Puno.
Years passed by, the people, during a meeting presided over by Pineda,
endorsed to give the town a better name. In the course of their meting, an excited man
came in and then related an unusual tale.
He clamed that one night on his way home after gathering bundles of firewood
which he placed on a raft, a big rock blocked his way along the river. He tried to find
another way but could not make it. Suddenly, a strong wind lashed at him followed by
heavy rains. He hurriedly left the raft and sought shelter inside a cave. He continued
that he fell asleep as he waited for the rain to stop.
At midnight, a blinding light woke him up. Stunned, he stood up as he sensed
something was happening when another dazzling light brightened the cave. He went to
another part of the cave and later on he discovered a hallowed winged figure. He was
sure, a miracle happened. He went back at the town and narrated the story. Some
people led by Captain Miguel went there to see for themselves the miracle. They saw
the winged figure, which looked like Saint Michael, the Prince of the Angels. They
believed that the discovery of the Angel was God's blessing and a sign of good graces
to the inhabitants. In this connection, the people of Miguel Mayumo deemed it proper
and timely to add "Sam" to the name of the town in reference and homage to the
discovery of the image of Arcangel. Hence, San Miguel de Mayumo became the
complete name of the town. However, the official name of the town at present is simply
San Miguel.
The history of Batasan Matanda was deried from the name “Batasan” from the
word “Bagtasan” which means “pass through”. The barangay is located adjacent to
several barrios in Pampanga. People often used the word fast, the “g” letter was
omitted and the word, “Batasan” begun until today the barangay is called such.
Batasan is uded to ber large in terms of land area, it was divided by Bagong
Silang formerly parua, mandible, formerly Sto. Rosario, sitio Balibago of San Agustin
were all Batasan during those times. Because of its vastness in land area, Batasan was
divided into several barangays as was mentioned earlier. Batasan was again divided
into during the term of then Barangay Captain Cesario Cruz, into Batasan Matanda and
Batasan Bata which was then known as Pasong Hari.

G. Analysis of Health Status
Health and medical care in San Miguel Bulacan are implemented by the
Municipal Health Office headed by Mayor Roderick Tiongson and different Barangay
Health Centers. Barangay Batasan Health Center is supervised by Midwife Gertrudes
De Guzman and Linkod Lingap sa Nayon (LNN) members who served as the barangay
health workers (BHWs). The Barangay Health Center is open during Tuesdays. The
midwife and the LLN members go house to house visit to provide health services to the
people.
The student nurses considered the following health problems that needs to be
addressed: Prevalence of Hypertensive Disease in the barangay is considerably high.
The availability and utilization of health services by its people in the health center like
Maternal Care- prenatal care should be empowered.
H. Economic Indices

Chapter 2
PRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PROBLEMS
1. Identification and Analysis of the Problem
A. Lack of Awareness Regarding Health Programs and Other Health Services
Offered by the Barangay Health Center
Based on the data gathered during house to house survey, we observed that
many residents of the barangay were not aware of the health services offered by the
Health Center. The people prefer to consult in private clinics and district hospital in time
of illness which can remedied by the resources of the health center. Contributory factors
of the health problem are (1.) There are limited health personnel working in the
barangay health center. Only the Rural Health Midwife and the volunteer LLN members
who serve as Barangay health workers cater a large population of the barangay from
zone 1 to 7. (2.) The rural health physician visits rarely and in limited time. (3.) The
health center also opens on selected days according to the Midwife’s schedule on her
catchment. (4.) No other medical personnel are available when the primary care giver,
the midwife, is out.
The student nurses proposes the following solutions
1. Conduct a barangay assembly or a Health education Class to campaign health
services available In the health center for the utilization by the community people.
2. Conduct a formal and/or informal information dissemination utilizing different
strategies such as poster and fliers.
3. Improvement of Health Center Facilities
4. Provision of Medical Equipments and Supplies
5. Refer to the Municipal Health Level the problem on limited health personnel
available in the community
6. Solicit support to the Municipal Health Board and/or to Non-government
organizations medical equipments and supplies, and other form of support.
B. High prevalence Rate of Hypertensive Disease in the Community
According to the survey result we gathered, there is a considerably high
prevalence rate of hypertensive disease in the community. Assessment of people’s
lifestyle suggests that their food preferences is into fatty and salty foods and mostly are
high alcoholic drinkers.
The student nurses propose the following solutions:
1. Conduct a Health Campaign on Hypertensive Diseases.
2. Conduct a Blood Pressure taking and monitoring sessions in the barangay.
3. Conduct a Health Education Classes on Hypertensive Diseases taking note its
prevention and management.
4. Refer to Municipal Health Board the target clients eligible for appropriate
programs about hypertensive diseases of the Department of Health.
C. Lack of awareness on the health services particularly Maternal health care-
Pre-Natal Services to Pregnant Women in the Barangay Health Center.
In our data gathering and collation, we found out that most pregnant women do
not avail the services of the health center particularly the Maternal health programs
launched by the department of health. We , the student nurses, felt a need to address
this health problem and hereby propose the following solutions:
1. Conduct an information dissemination drive to the community people
especially particular groups like pregnant women, children of 0-12 months of
age, about health services in the health centers available to them.
2. Conduct a Mother’s Class on Health Promotion during Pregnancy
3. Refer to the Midwife, to the Rural health unit, cases that are eligible to the
programs of the DOH. And refer high risk cases to the rural health unit for any
complications.

university. During our pre-entry phase, we set schedule for our activities in order to
identify health problems, formulate plans of action, implement program projects and
evaluate set activities. These include ocular survey, house-to-house survey and
interviews, community integration, collation and tallying.
In our entry phase, we, first, have a courtesy visit to the identified key leaders of
the barangay who includes the barangay captain and his councilors, the KBB and its
members and other identified key leaders in the community. The Ocular survey and
household interviews were conducted during the 1st week of the program. Students
were oriented by their respective community instructors on the survey tool that will be
used for the interview. This will give standardize and acceptable measurement to
assess the community in terms of demographic profile, health statistics, environmental
sanitation data and social data. The group of 12 is divided into 3 teams, with each team
covered a specified zone. Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 surveyed zone 5. Groups 5, 6, 7, and 8
were in zone 6 while groups 9, 10, 11 and 12. Also, each group assigned members to
draw the spot map and the transect walk map taking note the barangay landmarks such
as barangay health center, school, and alike. Meanwhile, others are advised to observe
the family and the community for existing or possible health problems.
Each group tallied their collected data and then collated to come up a
comprehensive assessment of the community. We, then, arrived to three prevalent
health problems existing in the community based on the gathered data. These were lack
of awareness of health services in the barangay health center, high prevalence of
hypertensive diseases, and Lack of awareness on the health services particularly
Maternal health care- Pre-Natal Services to Pregnant Women in the Barangay Health
Center.
These health problems were ranked and prioritized by the community people in
an assembly and we then formulated objectives and activities to be undertaken for the
next few weeks by the community and with the student nurses as a facilitator.
B. Project Innovation
During our assessment phase of the program, Barangay Batasan Matanda, San
Miguel Bulacan has a priority problem of Lack of Awareness Regarding Health
Programs and Other Health Services Offered by the Barangay Health Center. Through
the help of our community instructors, we conducted an Operation Tuli (free
circumcision) in the community. We also conducted a health education class with a
theme of Oplan Mongo, that gave new cooking recipes and techniques in mongo food
preparation to parents which is cheap yet nutritious. This would address nutrition
problem which may exist in the community. To add more, we donated medical supplies
that will make the barangay health center functional and ready to serve the barangay.
With these activities, the barangay health center will become more available, accessible
to people. And most especially, our goal is to make the barangay a self-reliant
community that is equipped with proper knowledge and right attitude towards health.
C. Limitations and Difficulties Encountered
During our community immersion program, the student nurses faced accidental
problems towards reaching our goal in the community. Through our community
instructors, they held a team building activity to establish friendly and professional
relationship within members of the group and among each group. This activity
addressed any individual differences and variance among us. Also through this activity,
we strengthen relationships, valued solidarity and camaraderie among students and
exercised professional conduct.
Foster parents and their families welcomed the student nurses with great
hospitality and such we return it with at most discretion to immerse ourselves with the
daily activities of community life. With integration, there would be adjustment with the
new environment and as nurses; we are faced with challenges dealing it with versatility.
We adapt ourselves with the warm weather in the area and most especially with
community life.
With any gathering, there would be heated arguments and discussions;
nevertheless, we settled our own disagreements and deliver superb results as needed.
But these limitations and difficulties we encountered during our program did not stopped
us or even falter, instead made us strong and invigorate us to strive and to do in our at
most excellence our calling – to serve the underserved and marginalized areas of our
country.
D. Implementation, Accomplishment and Evaluation
From our data collation and through the prioritization by the community people,
we focused our efforts to solve the most felt needs of the community - lack of
awareness of health services in the barangay health center.
In our implementation, we conducted operation tuli at the health center,
alongside a health education class with a title, Oplan Mongo. We also conducted
informal health teachings with the people emphasizing the programs and services
offered in the health center.
We also tapped interlinkages, the midwife and the barangay health staff for our
operation tuli, the barangay council, the KBB organization, the rural health unit to
strengthen health programs of the health center and to continue the programs we
started even we disengage out of the community.
Our accomplishment is also the accomplishment of the community. New learning
are gained by the people and applied to their daily lives. Their change of behavior
towards health is our accomplishment.
E. Recommendations
Barangay Batasan Matanda is rural to urban type of barangay. It is situated in the
border of Bulacan. The people receive us with their most welcoming ways. They treated
and considered us a family. This exemplified the Filipino virtue of hospitality which we
are known internationally.
With the 3 weeks of community immersion, we have observed that the barangay
has plenty of natural resources that could help them with their socio-economic status.
Some of them have a fertile backyard that can be use as vegetable, fruit or flower
garden. This will add a resource to the family.
Most households have no sanitary waste disposal. We recommend to the local
government to provide a regular proper garbage collection management system as this
will prevent acquiring certain diseases. Moreover, we recommend an education class on
proper garbage disposal focusing on composting, segregation of biodegradable and
non-biodegradable and importance of reuse and recycle. In addition, proper waste
water management is needed. We recommend construction of communal water waste
drainage system and teach every household the importance of blind drainage.
The activities and health programs we started to develop the barangay to a
healthier and greener community should be continued by its people headed by the
barangay council and the inside-organization, KBB tapping the local key leaders such
as the teachers and the local church. A resident health care professional is highly
recommended to continue and formulate appropriate health programs in the service to
the people. Health education classes are highly recommended.
F. Disengagement
Our last day of our community immersion program endorsement is conducted
through a small socialization program. This program was attended by the Barangay
council, Linkod Lingap sa Nayon Mother Leaders and the people of Barangay Batasan
Matanda. Medical supplies for the health center were endorsed properly in this event.
This socialization program serves as our thanksgiving for the residents of the
barangay. Both the Arellano University Jose Abad Santos Pasay Campus and the
residents prepared a intermission that showcase their talents in singing and dancing.
Later in the day, small festivity held in the homes of the foster families of students.
This community immersion program is indeed educational and worthwhile
experience and also a very delightful and pleasant time to students, instructors and the
community.
G. Feedback
The projects that we implemented during our stay in Barangay Batasan Matanda
has a significant effect not only to students but also, and most especially to the
community. Together, hand-in-hand, we created ways to improve the health of families
and the entire community. Health is important for the progress and development.
Establishing multisectoral approach for community development is vital. This is feasible
through tapping with non-government organizations and strengthens the local
government. Prioritizing health in the programs of the local government is another.
Arousing the community for health change is also a factor. Creating awareness by
health education classes is one way for community participation.
