The table shows that there are 15% (12 families) are composed of 1 to 42members. About 31% (24 families) are composed of 3 to 4 members, 35% (27 families) are composed of 5 to 6 members, and 19 % (15 families) are composed of 7 or more members.

The family size is greatly affected by economic status. Because of the high cost of living, people choose to have fewer or less number of children that is applicable to their income and financial capacities. The fewer the family members, the better for them, because they can sustain individual needs like education. The family size is also affected by the physiological capabilities of the parents. Inadequate living space and the status of unemployment will hinder the growth of the family size.

The family size of 5 to 6 members has the highest percentage in the data collected gathering 35 percent. The next family size is that composing of 3 to 4 members with 31 percent, family size with 7 or more members with 19 percent, and last, family size with 1 to 2 members with 15 percent.

The table shows that 19.23% (15 families) has been living for not more than 5 years in Pandacan. A portion of 21.79% (17 families) has been living in Pandacan for not more than 10 years but not less than 6 years. About 5.13% (4 families) has been already living in Pandacan for more than 11 years but not more than 15 years. A fraction of 17.95% (14 families) has been living in Pandacan for not more than 20 years but not less than 16 years. 7.69% (6 families) are living in Pandacan for not more than 25 years but not less than 21 years. 7.69 (6 families) are living for not more than 30 years but not less than 26 years in Pandacan. 20.51% (16 families) are living in Pandacan for more than 30 years.

Length of residency is affected by several factors like Income and Family size and time. If the family income is small, it will be harder for them to transfer to a better place. Those families that are well settled in Pandacan are contented with what they have.

Transferring from one house to another is a big problem. Big appliances and furniture are very hard to move to another place that’s why it is better to stay in 1 place than to move CLASSIFICATION

to another. The family size can also affect the family’s capability to move to a better home with good environment. Time is also essential in moving. It is very time-consuming. The availability of a new place is also quite a factor.

Table 3: Frequency Distribution of the Family Structure

Figure 3: Different Types Of Family Structure

The table on Family shows that 70.51% (55 Families) has a nuclear type of family. A fraction of 24.36% (19 families) is extended. A portion of 3.85% (3 families) is Matriarchal type, and 1.28% (1 family) is patriarchal.

The Family Structure is affected by family income and economical status. The family income almost dictates the family size and structure. The family must only accommodate what the income provides. The higher the income, the bigger the family size and structure can get. Economical status works the same as the family income. The nuclear families are separated from their own family because it is herder to sustain 2 families compared to 1 family. The nuclear families are separated because of the high cost of living. Those in extended families perceive poverty as a problem that they can surpass with the help of one another. The dependency ratio also plays a part in this family structure. The high dependency ratio results to the extension of families because they can’t support their own family that’s why they need to ask assistance from their relatives.

The dominant member of the family in Jesus St, Pandacan, Manila is the Father. He is also the basic earner. According to the data collected, 72 out of 90 males aging from 18 years and above are employed and only 25 out of 104 among women aging from 18 and above are employed. The dominant member of the family is also affected by the income they gather.

Figure 5 : Frequency Distribution of Religion of Each Family Assessed

The data shows that there are 69 respondents that are Roman Catholic, eight who said that their religion is Iglesia Ni Cristo, one who answered that their religion is born again and none said that they are Muslims.

Most residents in the area have the religion of Roman Catholic since this religion is the most dominant not only within the community but also throughout the country. This is proven by the existence of a church outside the barangay and a small chapel in alley 2. Although it is possible that the high percentage of the said religion on the graph is due to catholic families that are overcrowded or have a large number of family members, in

which the children inherit the same religion as their parents. This therefore increases the numbers of Roman Catholic believers in the area. Residents who are under the religion of “Iglesia ni Cristo” are quite lesser than Roman Catholic but more than Born Again and Muslim, since it is closely associated with the Roman Catholic belief. While “Born Again” and “Muslim” religion believers are quite rare in the community, probably due to oppression or racism among community members.

Educational Attainment

Based on the graph, 96 respondents had no formal education, 74 are HS Graduates, 69 are in the Elementary Level, 52 are in the HS Level, 36 are in the College Level, 25 are Elementary Graduates and finally, 22 are College Graduates.

In Pandacan, educational attainment is greatly affected by family income, family size, resources and facilities iavalable. Family income also dictates the educational attainment. The highest frequency in average family income is the Php 5, 000 and below. Family size also works the same way as the family income. The bigger the family, the higher the family income needs to be to sustain the neccessities of the family members.

Judging from the graph, there are many of them who reached the elementary level, since most of the population are children. These children are expected to study at

the nearby public school where education is free. Some family members are those who continue pursuing their studies in the highschool level. But since some of those who studied in elementary left their studies to work, most students failed to reach highschool, thus lessening percentage of H.S. Level than the Elementary Level on the graph. Since highschool students are teenagers and more capable than small children, they are most susceptible to leave school for work. At the same time, the pressure and difficulty experienced in the highschool level compared to elementary level are too much for some students that they tend to stop studying out of frustration. Therefore most students stop after graduating highschool, the reason why the percentage of H.S. Graduates are quite high. Barely a few reached college level due to financial problems. While college graduates are really rare since most can’t afford to complete their college education and probably couldn’t handle the pressure of studying on a much higher level. This gives both college level and graduates a low percentage. But as observed on the graph, the highest percentage belongs to those who have no education. This is represented by children or infants that are still too young to study and adults who never graduated at any educational level. The most possible reason could be poverty since some parents ended up not finishing their studies due to their work. This sums up to the highest percentage on the graph.

In the Employment graph, 72 males and 25 females are employed. Unemployment is most common in females at 79 and 18 are males.

The outcome of the collation determined the highest type of employment as regular at 48.72% because family members especially the heads and the breadwinners who engage in this type of work hope to rid their families of poverty by settling in definite stable jobs.

Self-employed families/family members prefer having their own businesses to apply their own techniques in endorsing or promoting their products and selling them better. Self-employment tails at 29.49%. Tied at 23.08% are contractual and casual. A contractual type of employment is one of the two least preferred kinds by the families evaluated due to its short course and instability. After completing the designated months or years of work, a person must find a new job, which appears to be quite impractical for some families. The casual type is the most unpredictable of all the categories because it involves sidelines.

The highest percentages of families are consulting the health center doctors which show that they are aware of the services that are available in their health centers. Because of the lack of resources, they tend to use the service of the center instead of the private doctor, which only garnered 15 families consulting them. This is where their income becomes questionable, as it restrains them from availing a much higher type of care available at the hospitals.

Due to lack of sources, they cannot afford to build a decent house with good quality materials. Most of them are already contented having a small house with a roof and a place where

they can sleep. They prefer to spend their money for food and medicine rather than building or repairing their house

These data shows that the 56 correspondents for the study confirmed that they classify their drinking water separately from the water that they are availing. It shows the level of awareness the people in Pandacan have in contrast with the sicknesses that can be caused by water-borne diseases. This only exemplifies that Pandacan is well informed of the dangers and threats that are dwelling in the things that they are handling everyday. As for the 22 that answered that their drinking water supply is from a public source, families with the income that ranges 5,000 and below can be the main cause that determines their availability for resources.

Out of 78 respondents, 58 prefer the natural method, 10 use pills, and 2 resort to ligation.

The outcome of the collation determined the highest type of family planning method as the Natural Method at 74.36% because the couples want a safe and easy and

affordable type of family method. They want this kind of means because it is easy to use and there are no side effects in their body and also in their relationship. The second type of family method is the Pills at 23.08%, because couples found out that the pills are much safer than the other type of family planning. The couples also said that pills are easy to use because it is taken in via oral route. The other type of family planning method is the Ligation at 2.56%, because some couples want to have a permanent type of family planning method. Family planning has devoted considerable attention to studying the determinants of women's fertility and method of family planning to be used. While it has been assumed that family planning programs have beneficial consequences for women's lives, there has been little research that evaluates the impact of family planning on women's personal, social, or economic conditions.

With that, women in Pandacan give too much emphasis on the use of natural method because it is economical and practical. Instead of providing money on buying pills and other methods, they paved away with it and buy first the things needed like foods for the family and other basic necessities.

The presence of tuberculosis was determined at 97% for those who are clear and 3% for those who have the disease.

Depending on the total population of families, 2 families were assessed to have to have the presence of Pulmonary tuberculosis. A manifestation of cough and colds in more than two weeks was observed. These 2 families have consulted a Public medical doctor instead of a private doctor due to an insufficiency in the family income and the affordability of consultation expenses. Good thing, the other family members were not diagnosed with PTB. People who were diagnosed to have the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis do take their medicines regularly offered by the DOTS program of the health center, helping them eliminate the accumulation of this communicable disease. At times, diagnosed people need assistance through their “treatment partner”. This can be their wives or other family members, but there are some who doesn’t need any assistance at all.
