July 3 & 4: PUROK MEETINGS
At the start of the month, Purok meetings are held by the Purok Leader. During each meeting, they discuss their monthly agendas and address problems within the Puroks. A variety of issues are discussed, ranging from brainstorming ways to better support bereaved families, to dealing with wandering carabaos destroying their harvests, and addressing water disruptions due to a nearby quarry. These are assessed by the Purok meetings and agreed upon by the community.

The importance of early childhood vaccination is emphasized through the monthly immunization provided by the Barangay Health Center. The midwives Ma'am Joy and Ma'am Meslie come to Barangay Delusom every 2nd Wednesday of the month to deliver vaccinations to the children under 12 months. Vaccinations are important for the health of children who are especially vulnerable to diseases. Vaccines are necessary to strengthen the immunity of the children and prevent significant mortality and morbidity.
July 18 to 21: WASTE ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION STUDIES
July 18 to 21: WASTE ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION STUDIES
Solid waste management is one of our identified problems in the community. Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS) is the process of gathering the solid wastes in the community and categorizing them based on biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and residuals. Planning for waste management requires a good analysis of the current situation to provide a basis for planning. The weighing of wastes helps in identifying what type does the community have more of which would eventually help in solving the waste management problem in Barangay Delusom.
