3. ANALYSIS
The Barangay Hall of Sitio 3 Acacia is located on Joy Street in the Northern part of the Sitio. The Ansagay Basketball Court is located
south of the Brgy. Hall. The Ansagay Basketball Court was used by the people of the community to play with other people from other sitios before
the pandemic hit. Now, the people cannot go outside to play in the basketball court because of the COVID -19. According to the World Health
Organization (2020), regular physical activity, such as walking, cycling, wheeling, doing sports or active recreation, provides significant benefits
for health. Some physical activity is better than doing none. By becoming more active throughout the day in relatively simple ways, people can
easily achieve the recommended activity levels thereby achieving better health by improving muscular and cardiorespiratory fitness, improve bone
and functional health, reduce the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, various types of cancer (including breast cancer
and colon cancer), and depression, reduce the risk of falls as well as hip or vertebral fractures, and helps maintain a healthy body weight.
From the basketball court is Anti-Ling’s Store and Fruits and Vegetables Stand. There are four stores in Sitio Acacia, one is located at the
Basketball Court, second is located in the Eastern part of the Sitio in front of the Ansagay Elementary School, third is located at the Southern part
of the Sitio in Rosette Street, and the fourth is located at the eastern portion of the Sitio in Mae Street near the Water station. According to
Krukowski R., West D.S., Harjey-Berino J., and Prewitt T.P. (2011), availability and price of healthy foods in food stores has the potential to
influence purchasing patterns, dietary intake, and weight status of individuals. Furthermore, increasing access to stores that can offer lower prices
for healthier foods may provide another avenue for enhancing food environments to lower disease risk.
The Eastern side of the Barangay hall is where the Ansagay Elementary School and Day care center of the sitio is located and on the
western part located plots for farming. According to Epps E.G. and Smith S.F. (2020). The graded structure of the schools attempts to provide
learning settings and tasks appropriate to the children's developmental levels. The match is often less than perfect because knowledge of
developmental progressions is at best fragmentary, and developmental progression itself is not static.
4. In front of the School a Tanod outpost is located, and on the southern part from the outpost are the plots for farming, there are three tanod
outposts on the sitio, the second outpost is located at the intersection between Joy Street, Ansagay Street, and Keziah Street. According to Valencia
City Government, the Barangay Tanod/BPAT plays a significant role in the development and progress of the barangay, as it is one of the
implementing mechanisms of the Barangay Peace and Order Committee (BPOC), which has the primary task of ensuring that peace and order
prevail in the barangay while conducting peacekeeping activities in association with the various sectors of the community and ensuring their
continuous support towards the maintenance of peace and order in the locality.
Going north from the Day Care Center is where the Ansagay Dam is located. The Dam helps Irrigate the Crops of the barangay. According
to the United States Society on Dams (2020), dams help in preventing floods. They catch extra water so that it doesn’t run wild downstream. Dam
operators can let water out through the dam when needed. Dams provide a wonderful opportunity for recreation. In building a dam water is stored
behind it. This water is called a reservoir. Reservoirs are used to store water, especially during times of excess. They provide activities like fishing,
boating, swimming, camping, and hiking. Dams and waterways store and provide water for irrigation so farmers can use the water for growing
crops. This idea goes way back into history. Irrigation is an important part of using water. In areas where water and rain are not abundant (like the
desert), irrigation canals from rivers and dams are used to carry water.
In the Southern part of the Sitio from the Tanod outpost going through Rosette street, a water station is located on Mary street, there are
three Water Stations on the Sitio, the second station is located in the Eastern portion of the sitio on Mark Street, and the third is located before the
intersections of streets, Keziah, Joy, and McLein. According to the World Health Organization (2019), safe and readily available water is important
for public health, whether it is used for drinking, domestic use, food production or recreational purposes. Improved water supply and sanitation,
and better management of water resources, can boost countries’ economic growth and can contribute greatly to poverty reduction. When water
comes from improved and more accessible sources, people spend less time and effort physically collecting it, meaning they can be productive in
other ways. This can also result in greater personal safety by reducing the need to make long or risky journeys to collect water. Better water sources
5. also mean less expenditure on health, as people are less likely to fall ill and incur medical costs, and are better able to remain economically
productive.
From Rosette Street moving Southwestern, Bingo’s Bakery can be seen, there are two bakeries in the Sitio, the second bakery is located
in Mae Street on the northern side near one of the water stations. A few meters from Bingo’s Bakery is the Barangay Ansagay Health Center.
According to IP Org (n.d.), a barangay health center is community-based and the goal is to offer first aid, maternal and child health care,
communicable diseases and other basic health services to all the constituents of the barangay.
Moving to the eastern portion of the barangay from the McLein street, on the Southeastern part, at Lyca street is where one of the pastures
of the sitio is located. There are two pastures in the sitio, the second one is located between Keziah and Anthony Street. On the northeastern portion
of Claire Street is the Church. According to Oregon State University, whether a producer is part time or commercial, good pastures are profitable.
They can provide an economical source of livestock feed, reduce labor requirements, build soil tilt and fertility, reduce erosion, and reduce
invasions of noxious and poisonous weeds. When obtaining new land that will be used for forage production, especially pasture, a forage-livestock
producer is encouraged to use the first year carefully.
Moving to the western portion is the Sabagay fish pond which stores the fishes, According to Arboleda C. (n.d.), Fish grown in ponds
usually subsist on its natural flora and fauna such as algae and plankton. Adding organic and inorganic fertilizers in the pond is usually practised,
particularly by farmers operating on a commercial scale. On greater note, production of tilapia is vital in both commerce and food, they are raised
for both selling and eating purposes and helps small communities in their nutrition and livelihood. Economic analyses and feasibility studies have
shown that livestock-fish integration could be very profitable.
