Trashes are all around the area

Only half of the interviewed people know about recycling and it seemed like people recycle from time to time. Trash collectors come weekly to collect trashes from sacks. During heavy rains, the community floods, trashes flows with the water, spreading unpleasant diseases and dirtying the area. People had to run to higher areas without any other way to prevent damage. Aside from trashes, air pollution is a major problem in this community, which comes from dusts and smokes from cars and people. The people of Barangay San Juan community believe that their water is clean. Contradicting their thoughts, we found out that people often get infected by diseases from drinking dirty water and that the water contains a high amount of dirt. The two changes people want are drainage systems and cleaning up this community.
