Leading cause of diseases on children are infections, climactic conditions such as

Fever, cough and colds and contaminated water that causes dengue and malaria and
foods that can lead to diarrhea and poisoning. On the other hand, the causes of diseases
on adults are improper nutrition that causes hypertension and poison (including
contaminated foods and water), Drugs (over or wrong usage of medicines) and some are
hereditary such as heart and lung diseases. The nearest hospital is the San Antonio

III. Risk Profile
A. Hazards Historical Hazard Events
Since the 1950s, 4 major typhoons were documented by the community in their
Disaster Timeline workshop. The earliest Super Typhoon they could recall was Typhoon
Amy which struck the village in 1950s destroying their sources of livelihood, and houses
and number of casualties. Two recent typhoons brought large damages in the barangay
Typhoon Ruby in December 2014 and Super Typhoon Yolanda in November 2013 was
the most devastating typhoon that the community had experienced. One hundred per
cent (100%) of the houses, livelihood, public structures and properties were damaged
and 3% of the population were injured.
The people observed that typhoons are getting more intense and destructive,
comes more frequently like the cases of Typhoon Ruby December 2014 and Typhoon
Amang January 2015 which struck just a month apart. Typhoon Yolanda has taught that
typhoon induced storm surges can be very fatal as government estimated more than
6,000 casualties just in Samar and Leyte area alone and lost billions of pesos worth of
damages in infrastructure and economy.

With around three years since Super Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan struck the barangay
DRRM projects and programs employed by the MLGU and its development partners of
INGOs and agencies increased the people’s capacities in terms of awareness to hazards,
preparedness and capacity to response.
Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee formulated its
contingency plan to a worst case scenario of super typhoon. With the meager allocation
of 5% BDRRM Fund the barangay continuously accessed resources from outside sources
for DRRM. Currently implementing recovery projects in the barangay with participation
of active people’s organizations of farmers, fisherfolk and women.
