II. Background of the Study
Imagine how the surroundings took place before. You can breathe
fresh air, see greenish surroundings and of course taste clear water. Nowadays,
can you still observe these things? Maybe in some but most of the places in this
day and age are already polluted and deforested. The air that was once fresh is
now full of pollutants such as smoke and dust. The surrounding that was once
greenish have become all cemented. The water that was once clear became
blurred and dirty. One of the causes of this is the improper waste disposal. For
instances, most people believed that throwing a single candy wrapper is not a big
deal. But take a closer look on the situation and analyzed it. If most people throw
a candy wrapper once a day simultaneously, do you still think that it was not a big
deal? Of course it isn’t. Those candy wrappers that were thrown would piled a big
trash and become a problem in the community. It might be stuck on the drainage
and backfire when a heavy rain comes then flood the community. Trees can be a
lifesaver but since the trees that once stood there were all cut, it would be
impossible to absorb the water using its roots. Simple mistakes may results to big
damage. Thus, a proper waste management is necessary. Segregation of garbage,
recycling, collecting of waste materials and proper waste disposal are just a few
ways to properly manage your wastes. Meanwhile, the surrounding that was once
greenish full of grasses and tall trees have become as dull as a rock. The green
grasses that once were all over the place have all turned to cemented roads. The
tall trees that lurked around the place have turned into gigantic buildings.
Deforestation and urbanization are the main cause of this. For example, cutting
trees illegally for their own convenience such as making furniture and papers that
in the end would just go to waste since most of the people doesn’t know how to
conserve and toss is it however and whenever they want to. This mostly results
landslide at mountainous area. Since trees that were supposed to uphold the land
together and prevent extensive erosion were all cut down. Floods can also be the
one of the consequences that people may experience in the future if this
negligent attitude still goes on. Trees also help in preventing floods using it roots
by absorbing the water. The water that could be harmful becomes useful with the
plants as they absorb it as part of their own. Also trees are one of the heroes in
the fight against global warming and deforestation. They are what we call super
weapons. That’s how great and magnificent the nature is. If people would not just
disturb the balance in its system, it would be a great result. If people just follow
the law about for every one tree that was cut, at least 3seedlings should be
planted to replace the tree that was cut, it would be a lifesaver. Maintaining the
balance in the ecosystem, would bring forth fortune and not a disaster.

III.Justification
A survey was conducted last January 1, 2019 at the Barangay Aguisan.
The results revealed that the barangay is indeed facing a problem regarding the
matter with waste management, to be more specific, a proper waste
management. Most of the residents are complaining about the cleanliness and
orderliness of the barangay. Trash could be found on the sides of the road.
Improper waste segregation could also be observed in the community.
Segregation between biodegradable and non-biodegradables not entirely visible
in the locality. The residents had the lack of initiative to do the segregation of
waste, for those people who already have a background about it. The residents
also had the lack of the initiative to the cleaning of the road side. Thus, a clean-up
drive would probably fit the program that would be conducted at the locality.
Also wall-painting program would fit in the projects since most off the walls were
vandalized and is already old and dirty. Also, painting the walls would probably
give of a better aura, an aura of cleanliness and orderliness in the barangay.
Tree planting program would also be held. This program would also invoke to the
residents the importance of nature and they should appreciate it and maintain its
balance for a better living. Given that the area has minimal amount of trees but
have a land where trees could be planted, tree planting program is a must. Not
just for the beautification but also for the prevention of disaster such as flood and
landslide. Also for international purposes, trees can also be used as a weapon in
our biggest fight against Global Warming and Deforestation. Aside from the lack
of initiative and tree planting program, the residents also had the lack of
information about recycling and segregation and these were the two of the
factors affecting the proper waste disposal of the barangay as perceived by the
barangay officials and the surveyor. Since most of the families were composed of
at least 5children, a boy and a girl, ranging the ages between 4-12 years old. A
seminar fitted for children would be conducted corresponding to the results of
the survey that would be implemented. The seminar would discuss about
recycling and segregation of waste and how it is done in simple ways so that the
children could understand it and could advertise it if possible. Feeding Program
and Gift-giving Program would also be conducted in order to give thanks to the
community’s participation in the project. Since most of the families contain
children, specifically ranging from ages 4-12 years old, and mostly have a physical
appearance of being skinny a feeding program and a gift-giving would probably be
beneficial. Also most of the families have a low monthly income, programs like
theses would be advantageous.
Therefore, the whole project was entitled Life Construction through Community
Cooperation. The world Life Construction was used in the project because it aims
to construct how the residents of the barangay live their own way as of now to a
more productive way of life. Productive because they would probably learn how
to recycle and segregate waste that would resolve their problems in the
cleanliness and orderliness of the locality. Also to naturedly-loving way of life, this
promotes a life that coexists with the people and nature. The project invokes in
the mentality of the inhabitants that a proper waste management and nature
appreciation should be practice and if possible should be advertise.

IV. Benefits Derived from the Project

This project is beneficial to the following sector.
Community. The community would be benefited. The program that would be
implemented intentionally tries to help the community regarding the matter with
proper waste disposal and nature appreciation. Also, implementing the program
would help the community progress in different aspects correspond to the project
that would be implemented.
Barangay Officials. The barangay officials would be benefitted. Implementing the
program would help them lessen the stress. The program that would be
implemented helps in solving the community’s problem which is also the problem
of the barangay officials. Also, it would decrease their workload. Instead of letting
them do their own program, it would already be done by the students who would
implement the program.
Also, they would acquire useful information that can be used in future program
that would be conducted in the locality.
Residents. The residents would be benefitted. It is mainly because the program
that would be implemented is directly towards their benefits. The residents would
acquire skills in proper waste management, especially children since they are the
ones that would be in the seminar. They would learn how to recycle and
segregate waste properly. Also thoughts about appreciating the nature more than
they already do and become part of the feeding program and gift-giving program
that would be implemented.
ANHS-Students. The ANHS-Students would be benefitted. Their scope in the
society would widen. They would witness a different environment and way of
living. They would also acquire leadership skills in facilitating the program that
would be implemented and controlling the participants joining the program. It
would also test their patience especially facilitating seminars wherein kids are the
participants. Acquisition of coordinating skills, this could be acquired during the
pre-immersion and during immersion. Since communicating with the higher-ups
needs a coordinating skills and facilitating and communicating with the
participants during the program would also need coordinating skill for the
program to go smoothly.

V. Coverage
The project would be implemented in locality of Barangay Aguisan sited
at Himamaylan city. This project would cover 50 families in the barangay.
Specifically, these families are the ones have the most children ranging from 4-12
years old and have low monthly income that is not fitted to a big size family.
Mostly, the household has either one of the parents have a permanent work or
none as result in the period of surveying.

VI. Methodology
The project is the maintenance of cleanliness and orderliness and nature
appreciation in Barangay Aguisan. The approach of it is to help the community in
maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of the community together with
appreciating the nature’s worth in their barangay. In this project, there are
several programs that would be implemented.
Clean-Up Drive Program
It is a program where the people would voluntarily clean and aid the
barangay officials regarding their project on Clean and Green Projects within the
locality of the barangay. Segregation of waste would also be done in the process.
Road Clean-up is the main highlight of the Clean and Green Project of the
barangay. Cleaning the streets of the locality would also be done.
Wall Painting Program
Wall painting program is a program in which people would willingly paint
the government infrastructure’s, walls and posts within the locality of the
barangay, especially those walls that were vandalized and were already too old
and dirty. Painting them would make it looks like a new one and has better
atmosphere of being clean and orderly.
Tree Planting Program
Tree planting program is a program that advocates nature appreciation.
In this program planting seedlings would be done in order to increase the amount
of trees in the locality. The seedlings to be used were provided by the barangay. A
mahogany seed would be planted, since it less expensive and easy to cultivate. As
said in the gathered information, trees are beneficial for us since it does not only
prevent floods and landslides but also help prevents the worsening results of
Global Warming. This program would be implemented in the barangay at the site
that the barangay officials would permitted students or people to the planting.
Lecture-Seminar Program
A Lecture-Seminar Program would also be implemented. This program is
mainly for children. In this lecture-seminar the children will be thought mainly of
how to recycle and how to become an earth friendly citizen. The first part of the
lecture would be waste management skills. The second part of the lecture would
be about recycling. A game will be included so that the children would not be
bored and still enjoy the seminar. These games will also be connected to recycling
and becoming earth friendly citizen.
Film Showing
A film showing would also be conducted. The theme of the movie would be
about nature appreciation it would be shown to participants that were composed
of children ranging from ages 4-10 years old. The title of the movie is Simpsons
the Movie. This movie is about how Homer, the father and the of the Simpsons
Family, recklessly throw his trash on the river that caused a big dilemma on the
entire city that become a national problem. This movie shows the consequences
of improper waste management and negligent in our nature. In line with this,
participants would be aware about the danger of an improper waste
management and the consequences they would encounter if they would face it in
the future.
