Direction: Read the given situation then answer the questions that follow.
You are the barangay captain of Brgy. Canlubang. Your response team is deployed, and
you have your radio with you. Reports are streaming-in for assistance and relief goods. Mobile
patrols are having a difficult time going around due to lack of accessible barangay roads. At the
same time, the barangay is heavily populated so there was a shortage of response vehicles to
assist the victims and deliver relief goods to the evacuation area.
Questions:
1. What do you think are the possible problems being faced by Barangay Canlubang? Give
three (3) possible problems.
a. Lack of Resources and Materials
Based on my analysis of the condition, the issue implies that the local authority of
Brgy. Canlubang is hampered by the lack of technological resources and means of
transportation. It is said that they do not have a sufficient number of response vehicles to
distribute relief supplies to the people of Brgy. Canlubang in a timely manner. Due to
this shortcoming of the barangay, the disaster response and delivery of needed materials
are delayed or slowed down.
b. Damaged Infrastructures and Unavailable Pathways
The calamity that ravaged Barangay Canlubang devastated a quantity of
infrastructures that have blocked streets and roadways vital for transit. Because of the
broken buildings and other forms of blockages, the local government was unable to
reach or send help to the citizens immediately since it took them time to find a clear
route to drive through.
c. Heavy Population
One of the challenges that Barangay Canlubang is encountering is the large
number of individuals that inhabit the barangay. Because of overpopulation, not all
people in the said place are given the opportunity to be provided with assistance such as
medical help, relief supplies, and temporary shelter. In addition to that, the response
vehicles of the barangay are not enough which means service is not equally distributed.
