Hypertension

Solid Waste Management

Teenage Pregnancy

Hypertension

Hypertension remains the top identified health problem in Barangay Logan, with a baseline of 44% of adults having uncontrolled hypertension. The community assessment also highlighted gaps in hypertension knowledge, medication adherence, physical activity, and access to regular blood pressure monitoring.

During the 4th exposure, the team initiated Edukasyon ug Aksyon Batok sa Altapresyon through several community-based interventions. These included:

Capacity Building

An initiative to equip our Barangay Health Workers with proper BP taking and recording.

Medical Outreach

In partnership with Ipil Municipal Health Office, the team was able to successfully enroll residents to the Yakap program.

Health Education

The first step for a healthier Logan is equipping the residents with knowledge on hypertension on other non-communicable diseases

Community Exercise

An ongoing initiative that promotes healthy living through dance while bringing the community together to move, connect, and work toward a healthier future.

Solid Waste Management

Improper solid waste management was identified as another major concern in Barangay Logan, particularly the low compliance with proper waste segregation and the need for stronger community systems for waste collection, disposal, and monitoring. The community also identified the need to strengthen local implementation of existing solid waste management policies.

Through WAIS (Waste Advocacy and Implementation Strategy), the team began laying the groundwork for sustainable solid waste management.

Executive Order

An Executive Order was formally drafted to establish the Barangay Ecological Solid Waste Management Committee (BESWMC), laying the foundation for stronger coordination, accountability, and sustainable solid waste management in the community.

Clean-up Drive

An ongoing initiative that brings residents together to take collective action toward a cleaner, healthier, and more WAIS Barangay Logan.

Teenage Pregnancy

Teenage pregnancy was identified as the third major health concern in Barangay Logan, highlighting the need to strengthen adolescents' sexual and reproductive health knowledge, access to adolescent-friendly services, and support from families and the wider community.

In response, the team developed REACH (Reproductive Education and Adolescent Community Health).

Capacity Building

An initiative to equip and certify our Barangay Health Workers as Adolescent Health Care Primary Service Providers in partnership with the Department of Health and Municipal Health Office.

Health Young Ones: Phase 1

A seminar-workshop that brought together the young teens of Logan to equip them with the knowledge on adolescent health.

Election of Officers

Officers of the REACH program were elected to serve as youth leaders and instruments of sustainability, carrying forward the program’s advocacy for informed, empowered, and healthy adolescents in the community.

Adolescent-Friendly Facility

An initial assessment of the Logan Barangay Catchment Center was conducted to evaluate its readiness and identify areas for improvement toward becoming an adolescent-friendly health facility.

The 4th exposure was more than a series of activities as it was another step toward meaningful, sustainable change in Barangay Logan. From promoting healthier lifestyles and strengthening hypertension services to building a cleaner environment and empowering adolescents, each initiative brought the community one step closer to a healthier future.

The work does not end here. As we move forward, we carry with us the partnerships, lessons, and momentum built during this exposure, continuing to work alongside the community because lasting change begins when people come together and choose to make a difference.
