years old. According to the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, which can be found at
the National Museum of the Philippines, stated that Tondo already existed in the year
900 AD. Also, according to this document, The Kingdom of Tondo also extended all
the way to the modern-day province of Bulacan particularly around Lihan, and
Tondo was ruled by a line of lakan, or filipino nobility, which stopped up until
After the Spaniards conquered Tondo in January of 1571, they established the
Province of Tondo with the City of Manila as its center. The then province occupied
numerous territories in North Luzon, namely Pampanga, Bulacan, and Rizal. Tondo
was even reported to share the same dialect with the natives located in Pampanga,
with only Pasig River to separate the Kapampangans and the Tagalog.
Tondo was one of the first provinces to declare rebellion against Spain in
1896. There was a major reorganization of political divisions, with the Province of
Tondo being dissolved, and some of its towns given to the provinces of Rizal, and

the surveyed area are made of material varying from hard wood; thin metal sheets,
these homes are adequately ventilated as well. Majority of surveyed residents either
(a) own the houses they live in, or (b) are staying with a relative who owns the
property, whereas a small number rent the houses they live in. The communitys
literacy rate is very high. Most of the surveyed individuals have obtained a diploma in
either the High School or College level. Only a few were not able to graduate or even
be able to study at all. In terms of religion, a large chunk of the surveyed population

Community Assessment
2.1. Situational Analysis
Tondo, Manila. The Barangay is set within the borders of Fajardo Street in the north;
Juan Luna Street in the west; Perla Exit. and Callejon Tsina in the south, and Estero
Dela Reina in the east side. Juan Luna Street is a one-way street that serves as a major
access road to the barangay, while Estero Dela Reina is an inlet canal, or ditch, that
divides Barangay 58 from the next barangay. The barangay is situated near a major
street therefore there are varieties on modes of transportation in reaching the barangay
like pedicabs, tricycles, jeepneys, motorcycles owned by the residents, and even by
foot. Given the location of the barangay, which is at the heart of Metro Manila,
accessibility would not be an issue due to the various modes of transportation readily
available to one who wishes to visit the community namely; pedicabs, tricycles, and
even some jeepneys pass by the premises of the barangay. Train stations such as the
Philippine National Railways and the nearest LRT station, Tayuman, are within the
area also.

numerous establishments within the barangay that can be a source of livelihood for
the residents. Good examples of such are sari-sari stores, internet shops,
clinics, bakeries and a water-refilling station are also present in the community. The
houses are within close proximity of each other. Streets are narrow and cemented;
alleys are present around the area making the task of reaching out to other residents in
the barangay difficult. Stray animals such as dogs and cats were also seen. Chicken
The barangay hall is located alongside the day care center on R.A. Reyes
Street, the street where the barangays basketball court is also located. CCTV cameras
are strategically installed in different areas around the community for continuous
monitoring of the community s security. Unfortunately, this area isnt utilized for its
intended purpose of recreation as it was made as a parking lot by residents living near
the premises. As houses move away from Juan Luna Street, and get closer towards
Estero Dela Reina, the house materials being used get lighter. The issue of flooding
in the barangay has been settled after rehabilitation programs that were conducted by
the government addressing the issue like declogging of the drainages, and cleaning of
the estero.
Upon observation on the residents of the barangay, given the close proximity
between houses, the whole neighborhood seems to know one another. Children of

As illustrated in Figure 20, several root causes were identified for the high
prevalence of hypertension among the residents of the barangay. One direct cause is
the large population of elderly in the community. Age is a major risk factor in
hypertension. Blood pressure increases with age in both men and women, and, in fact,
the lifetime risk for hypertension is nearly 90%. The risks for high blood pressure
increases in men over age 45 and women over age 55. (Simon et al.,2013). Thus, age
exercise and most especially poor nutritional diet. Cigarette smoking is one of the risk
factors for high blood pressure. Added to cigarette smoking, too much consumption of
