12. "Baha, basura. Yung basura natatrap sa kanal, dahilan nababaha kami tapos mabaho yung kanal."

13. “Sobrang dami ng basura sa paligid. Illegal parking sa daanan ng tao. Paulit-ulit lang lagi— sisitahin, aalis. Tao na rin yung problema.”

14 “Kanal na hindi madaluyan ng tubig dahil sa basura. Malaki ang epekto sa kalusugan dahil malapit na ang tag-ulan at uso pa rin ang dengue.”

16. "Kalsada na makipot at pinaparadahan pa ng mga sasakyan. Yung mga kawad ng kuryente na salasalabat dahil dumami yung tao sa sitio.”


Conclusion

Therefore, after surveying sixteen (16) residents, we can conclude that the common issue that was mentioned by them is the improper waste management of every individual who lives here. The majority of the respondents were female and most of them said that their problem with waste has literally since then. However, their problem is being repeated over and over, thus, they think that the problem is with the irresponsible residents and not totally because of the local government’s shortcomings. The results of the interview show that poor waste management is hazardous not only to the environment of the community but also to the community itself since it causes chaos and misunderstanding in the neighborhood.

In Barangay Malis

It was sultry that day. Sweat and grime clung stubbornly to the skin. There was the din of traffic and jackhammers. The pungent scent of dust kicked up from the old roads they were drilling, and the smoke from the noxious exhaust of old cars penetrated deep into the lungs. Heat and dryness were in the air, but the land told a different story.
