Now we'll talk about housing and the environment. Let's start with housing.
FOOD STORAGE AND COOKING FACILITIES

95.6 percent (86) of families, according to the graph, keep their food in
refrigerators. In the meantime, 3.3 percent of families use an ice box or a cooler.
Furthermore, 1.1 percent of households utilize both the refrigerator and the ice
box.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA),
refrigeration prevents bacterial growth. Furthermore, germs thrive in temperatures
ranging from 40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, with some bacteria doubling in size in
as little as 20 minutes. A refrigerator set to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower will
keep most goods safe.
DRINKING WATER SUPPLY

Water refilling stations provide drinking water to the majority of the
families examined, with 59 (65.6 percent) families doing so. Mineral water was
second with 14 (15.6%) families, followed by NAWASA/LWUA with 13 (14.4%) families
and deep wells with 2 families (2.2 percent ). Meanwhile, the remaining family rely
on alkaline water from an artesian well (1.1 percent ).
Due to management issues in water utilities, poor environmental conditions,
and the prevalence of cholera epidemics in several locations of the Philippines, a
portion of the population has moved their preference to alternate sources of
drinking water. As the province's population has increased, so has the demand for
filtered water. Refilling stations established by private individuals attempt to
give a more convenient and affordable solution to drinking water demands. Purified
water meets all national drinking water requirements. Privately held water
refilling stations are even better than water delivered by traditional water
delivery systems in terms of impurities removed (Magtibay, 2004).
POTABILITY
Based on the given data all 90 (100%) families interviewed have access to
potable water.
Safe drinking water was recognized as a fundamental human right and a vital
step toward improving everyone's living standards by the United Nations (UN) in
2010. Poor sanitation and contaminated water can lead to disease spread and an
increase in death rates because too many people still lack access to sufficient
water and sanitation facilities.
DRINKING STORAGE
When it comes to water storage, a considerable number of families (73.1%) use
huge covered containers with faucets. Other storage came in second, with eight
families (8.9%) using it. In addition, seven families (7.8%) drink directly from
the faucet. The other two households (2.2%) use large covered containers with no
faucets.
Inadequate water and sanitation services cause an estimated 4 billion cases
of diarrhea and 1.9 million deaths per year, the bulk of which affect young
children in developing nations (CDC & U.S. AID 2009).
PRESENCE OF BREEDING OR RESTING SITES OF VECTOR DISEASE

When asked whether their house includes breeding or resting locations for
disease vectors, 48 (53.3%) said yes and 42 (46.7%) said no.
WHO mentioned that vector-borne diseases are illnesses caused by parasites,
viruses, and bacteria that are transmitted by vectors. Malaria and other diseases
caused by vectors kill over 700,000 people each year. These diseases are most
observable in tropical and subtropical regions. Wherein major outbreaks of dengue,
malaria, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika have afflicted populations since 2014.
(Vector-Borne Diseases, 2020)
Which of the following are present in your house?

When asked which vectors they had in their home, the majority of the families
said mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches, with 38 responding. It was followed by
rodents, with 13 families having it. Then, nine households responded with mosquito
and cockroach, eight families with mosquito alone, and seven families with all
vectors present (mosquito, cockroach, flies, rodent). Mosquito and flies; mosquito,
cockroach, and rodent; flies, cockroach, and rodent were the answers given by the
remaining three families.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, it is only proven
that Physical agents such as insects, cockroaches, rats and others cause illness in
every family member in addition to the chemicals found in our home. Vector or pests
have a huge impact on our health as well as our lifestyle. The only examples are
the contamination of our food with pests that make people sick and they can also
damage our belongings in our homes.
TOILET FACILITY
Based on the data above, toilet facilities have levels I, II, and III. For a total
of 90 (100%) families, the most used type of toilet is the flush type water sealed
toilet with a septic tank, with 65 (72.2%). The second most used type of toilet is
the pour flush toilet, with 20 (22.2%) families using this kind of toilet. Lastly,
is the flush type water sealed toilet sewage system/treatment plant, which has only
5 (5.56%) families using this type of toilet.
The characteristics of the toilet that can be used in a household environment
such as, the soil surface in sanitary areas are not easily contaminated, it is not
causing a contamination to the ground water or water sources around the toilets,
the excrement is not affordable by flies or other animals, the toilets must be free
of odors or latrines in a comfortable conditions and proper for use, the technique
of making and the operation of toilets should be simple (Conf. Series: Earth and
Environmental Science, 2018).
