Health Problem Case Increases Due to Improper Segregation
Improper disposal of garbage in Barangay Sawang Calero Cebu City is the major concern of the some residents. When you take a look at the left to the right, there are garbage stocked and thrown by people, anywhere and most probably anytime they want. Due to this, the air that they breath smells bad. The surroundings make grimy. There are some insects found in the garbage. One of the major rationale of this is the fishes because the place is the public market of fishes. As you visit the place, you can see, on the other hand, stocked, trapped dead fishes in drainages, in pathways and in the public market alone. That’s why this makes the air smells bad and the den unclean.
Moreover, because of this case, the people facing health problems increased. There are about 45% out of 100% are having health problems compared to the last year’s case. It increases 10% within this year because improper throwing of garbage can really affect the health of an individual. Of these 45%, many are having fever, cough, colds even dengue.
According to the Barangay Captain of Sawang Calero, Mr. Benjamin Zabate, he is very concerned of the health of his constituents. That is why, he is promoting and acquiring a daily collection of garbage, house by house wherein there are paid workers of the barangay who will collect it and it is to be carried into a truck inorder to dispose it properly. In this instance, this can help debase the people suffering from different illnesses. Before, thios action was done only every Wednesday and Friday or twice a week but due to the increasing case of health problems, it is now converted to day by day collection.
Notwithstanding, this action is on the go, still some people do not cooperate and participate him upon doing this. There is still littering happen in the place. In him alone as he says, he can maintain the cleanliness but when it comes to the side of the people, there are only some who will colaborate him lik the concerned citizens. This will be sustainable if people will maintain and contribute a help and be concern to everyone’s advantages and of course to wake up from this hazardous exemplifications.
Nevertheless, the barangay has the medical clinic or health center dedicated to the people who suffered from differnt ailments. The clinic was raised by the Barangay Captain with the aid of the former Cebu City Mayor Tomas OsmeƱa. According to the Barangay Captain, the people can go along to the clinic and they will be released free medicines and free consultation or check- up.
Having a clinic in the barangay doesn’t mean that the people will not give effort or put premium to thye rampant improper disposal of garbage, they should not depend on the clinic because a clinic has nothing to do with the case of garbage.
