BACKGROUND AND LITERATURE

Local Factors affecting health due to poverty and negligence.

Poverty is a risk factor for child neglect, but poverty does not equal neglect. Just

because a family is living in poverty does not mean a child is unsafe or that a parent

lacks the ability to care for them. Poverty is disproportionally present in Black, Brown,

and American Indian/Alaska Native families. Because of this, service providers need to

be aware of how biases, stigma, and oversurveillance of families, especially low-income

families, leads to unnecessary involvement with child welfare. Families of color, as well

as those living in poverty, are more likely to be investigated by child protective services

(CPS), and children of color are more likely to be placed in out-of-home care. According

to Ma Teresa Tuason (2010), The purpose of this article is to describe the face of

poverty in the Philippines. Specifically, through a review of literature, it enumerates the

features of destitution in the Philippines, identifies the problems that create, maintain

and worsen poverty, and illustrates the coping processes of Filipinos who have made it

out of poverty.

People living in poverty in the Philippines are most likely self-employed farmers,

fisherfolk, or other agricultural workers. Three-quarters of these people live in severe

disaster-risk areas that are highly rural. In 2015, about 58 percent of poor households

have more than six members. Education overall has improved over time; from the ages

of 15–24, over 75 percent have completed secondary education or above in 2015.

Specifically in poor households, however, over 60 percent of families have education

only up to elementary school.

As of 2022, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao has the

highest incidence of poverty in the country at 37.2% while Metro Manila has the lowest

at 3.5%. Children in the Philippines are particularly vulnerable to the effects of poverty

and suffer high rates of mortality for those below 5 years old.The UNICEF and World
Bank reported that as of 2022, more than 32 million children were living in poverty in the

Philippines, including 5 million children living in extreme poverty. Over 10 million women

live in poverty in the Philippines. Poverty in the Philippines has been linked to bad

governance, corruption, and a political system dominated by political dynasties. The

country's poorest provinces are ruled by political dynasties. According to the World

Bank, poverty rates declined from 26.6 percent in 2006 to 21.6 percent in 2015.

The country has attempted to increase income and opportunities and reverse

impacts of occurring natural disasters. The Philippine Development Plan of 2017–2022

and the AmBisyon Natin 2040 are proposals for the nation to decrease poverty and

improve the lives of the poorest population. These policies include creating more and

better jobs, improving productivity, investing in health and nutrition, managing disaster

risks, protecting the vulnerable, and more. These documents help set the overall goal of

reducing poverty to 13–15 percent by 2022 and having the nation thrive at similar levels

as surrounding countries.

International factors that affecting health due to poverty and negligence

Environmental awareness involves promoting the responsibility of humans to

protect and respect the environment and its resources. the need to minimize possible

adverse environmental degradation and maximize benefits of healthy

environment that could result in the proper management of the physical environment

has been acknowledged the world over. Environmental sanitation, characterized by

inadequate waste management, breeding of pest and vectors of public health

importance, and poor food sanitation etc. is a very serious environmental problem,

communicable but largely preventable diseases like guinea worm, diarrhea, typhoid,

cholera and dysentery are very prevalent in a secondary school. Indeed, in developing

countries 80% of all diseases result from a combination of poor hygiene, contaminated

water and poor sanitation. Financial resources. These effects extend beyond birth:

children born to women with 5 years or more of primary school education have a 40%
higher survival rate than those born to women with no education. According to Pamela

C Smith et.al (2007), The demand for global healthcare services is experiencing

tremendous growth. US patients are seeking to reduce their expenditures on healthcare

through obtaining treatment on an internationally competitive basis.

Poverty and poor health worldwide are inextricably linked. The causes of poor

health for millions globally are rooted in political, social and economic injustices. Poverty

is both a cause and a consequence of poor health. Poverty increases the chances of

poor health. Poor health, in turn, traps communities in poverty. Infectious and neglected

tropical diseases kill and weaken millions of the poorest and most vulnerable people

each year. overcrowded and poor living conditions can contribute to the spread of

airborne diseases such as tuberculosis and respiratory infections such as pneumonia.

Reliance on open fires or traditional stoves can lead to deadly indoor air pollution. A lack

of food, clean water and sanitation can also be fatal. According to Gourab Biswas et.al

(2017), The development of a country, construction industry has a significant role. About

350 million people of the world are directly involved in this sector, and the number is

growing at a fast rate in the cities.

EXPOSURE
CONCLUSION

The conclusion emphasizes the urgent need for interventions in Sitio Daubab,

stressing the interconnected issues of environmental awareness, poverty, and

negligence. The focus is on initiatives promoting environmental education, poverty

alleviation, and community engagement for sustainable change and improved well-

being in Tamontaka, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao Del Norte, Barmm. The case

study addresses health issues, emphasizing the link between poverty and health

challenges, using a descriptive research design with questionnaires, interviews, and

observations to empower the community with practical solutions.

RECOMMENDATION

In Sitio Daubab, the intersection of poverty and negligence has led to detrimental

effects on environmental awareness and health. To ameliorate these issues, a

comprehensive approach is essential, encompassing education, healthcare, and

sustainable development.

Firstly, community education plays a pivotal role in raising environmental

awareness. Establishing educational programs that highlight the link between

environmental conditions, poverty, and health outcomes can empower the residents of

Sitio Daubab. Workshops, seminars, and awareness campaigns should be tailored to

the specific needs of the community, fostering a sense of responsibility and

understanding.

Secondly, healthcare initiatives are crucial to address the immediate health

impacts of environmental issues. Mobile health clinics, regular health check-ups, and

vaccination drives can ensure that residents receive timely medical attention. Moreover,
incorporating preventive healthcare measures, such as providing access to clean water

and sanitation facilities, can significantly improve overall well-being.

Additionally, sustainable development projects are vital for breaking the cycle of

poverty and negligence. Initiatives focused on alternative livelihoods, eco-friendly

practices, and infrastructure development can uplift the community. For instance,

introducing eco-friendly farming techniques, waste management programs, and

renewable energy sources can simultaneously improve living standards and mitigate

environmental degradation.

Collaboration between local authorities, non-governmental organizations, and the

community is paramount for the success of these recommendations. A participatory

approach ensures that interventions are culturally sensitive, sustainable, and aligned

with the unique challenges faced by Sitio Daubab. By combining education, healthcare,

and sustainable development, we can create a foundation for lasting positive change,

fostering a healthier and more environmentally conscious community.
