BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The 8ad&aos are one of the most socially oppressed and ignored ethnic tribal group in the country. country. They are nomadic people that do not ha%e permanent and proper settlements. They are scattered in different areas mainly in >uzon and some parts of -isayas. They mo%e from ;ulu and +elebes seas into land and migrated to urban areas to %enture li%ing in urban areas but ha%ing no permanent settlement" they mo%e places to places )here they could find food but rather they end up indigent and beg people money for food. They are 9no)n as the unfortunate people that enter &eepneys gi%ing en%elop to passengers to as9 them for money and it became the li%elihood of the 8ad&aos in urban areas. A community of 8ad&oa can be found in $alitam (( and @a)a" 8atangas +ity composing of 00 people di%ided into '!0 families.

Ala h 8angon 8ad&ao is a callCtoCaction longCterm campaign to augment the current situation of this indigenous group in terms of sustainable de%elopment. They identified top ten problems of the 8ad&aos in the community and those are unstable source of income and po%erty , illiteracy" illiteracy" unmanaged solid )aste and degraded natural resources , poor hygiene, poor )ater source, unimpro%ed bridge , lac9 of source of electricity , high cost of medicine and hospital e*penses , lac9 of security of tenure , and high population rate. The 8ad&aos in the community hardly find )or9 because they did not finished schooling. 4ther people do not trust them for the misconception misconception such as being “illiterate<" :thie%es<" :unclean<" :disrespectful<" and :mean<. 8ecause of illiteracy most of them )ere unable to read and )rite because they )ere not sent to school by their parents.

They )ere tagged as slo) learner" ha%e poor hygiene" and ha%e lo) emotional 5uotient . 8ecause of a language barrier" they ha%e difficulty interacting )ith other people and e*pressing their ideas and needs. They are al)ays left out in learning academic sub&ects. They lac9 moral and financial support to continue their education. They pay fi%e pesos ,P!.00/ per &ar of oil in order to light their house in the e%ening. They ha%e to sleep early and stop all their acti%ities by the time their light runs out. +hildren suffer because they ha%e to )or9 their assignments using dim light. They hardly focus on studying their sub&ects because of lac9 of electricity. 8ad&aos need to learn the principle of solid )aste management. The ideas of sorting garbage" composting )astes" and establishment of a $aterial ?eco%ery Facility ,$?F/ are suggested. >ac9 of hygiene is a main issue. There are strong presences of garbage from different sources outside the community. Tides especially during storm ha%e brought these tons of )astes into the mangro%e area. These are causing the health of the surrounding ecosystem to decline. (t also ser%es as a health threat for the )hole community. 8ad&aos are dependent to fishing acti%ity. ;ince their religion" culture and beliefs define )hat they ha%e to eat. They do not consume meat and rely solely for rice" fish and %egetables as their diet. Those going farther in other places in order to catch fish mean increased e*pense in fuel consumption resulting to lesser ta9eChome pay. @ater pollution is a main contributor to the decline of collected fish in the nearby )aters. They need comfort room and a source of )ater. There )ere public toilets )ithin the community but the locals do not utilize these because maintenance is an issue. Po%erty also hinders them to buy basic toiletries such as soap and tissue. ;ome children s)im" and the locals )ash their clothes in the +alumpang ?i%er.

That means" they ha%e to spend at least fifty pesos ,P!0.00/ per day to do their )ashing of clothes" and cleaning themsel%es using safe and clean )ater they buy from local entrepreneurs. 8ecause of these many of them get sic9 but because of high cost of medicine and hospital e*penses" their sic9 family member is often untreated" and )orst die of illness.

The 8ad&aos ha%e to mo%e from one place to another to do their daily acti%ities such as going to school" barangay center" )or9" mar9et" and church. The accessible bridge they ha%e is made of pieces of bamboo tiedCusing rope. This is biodegradable and lasts only for a year.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The 8ad&ao community in the barangay of $alitam (( and @a)a" 8atangas +ity is a %ery poor and unde%eloped community. They ha%e poor hygiene" poor )ater source" unmanaged solid )aste and degraded natural resources" unimpro%ed bridge" and lac9 of source of electricity" po%erty and illiteracy. 8ecause the community do not ha%e permanent source of income and the 8ad&aos in the community do not ha%e 9no)ledge for li%elihood other than fishing" they cant manage to ha%e a satisfying life and ability to sol%e these problem in their community. 8ecause source of income is their main problem they %enture to go to places desperate to find a stable source of income that they are contented to recei%e tas9s such as a street s)eeper" garbage collector" %endor" dish )asher" and household helper. For them" to earn income to eat for a day is more than enough and they no longer practices their culture" tradition and beliefs as ;ama and that endangers them to lose their identity. They only focuses to li%e through a day and fight hunger and the ris9 li%ing in poor" unhygienic and uncultured community. Page 5

There are se%eral ban9a on the seashore that the 8ad&ao uses for their e%eryday fishing and hunting of pearls. The 8ad&ao community is composed of a population of estimated 00 people )hich is di%ided into '00 families. $ost of them are children seemingly about the age of '0 years old. An a%erage household of the 8ad&ao in the community about is to '0 family members. They li%e in a hut of about C3 s5uare meters" made of bamboo and cogon lea%es.

The 8ad&aos in the community same as traditional do fishing as their main source of food and li%elihood. @ithout the )ater or the sea" they ha%e no life and li%elihood because they do not ha%e any 9no)ledge other that life on the sea. According to a legend" they came from the shores of Eohore" (ndonesia" )here they had already been li%ing in clusters of houseboats. There are other theories claims that the 8a&aos )ere originally from the landCbased ;amal group but branched off into boat d)ellers as a result of their occupation.

The 8ad&ao social and cultural de%elopment )as influenced by the $uslim or (slam and the ;panish and American influence has been %irtually nothing.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The 8ad&ao community in the barangay of $alitam (( and @a)a" 8atangas +ity is a %ery poor and unde%eloped community. They ha%e poor hygiene" poor )ater source" unmanaged solid )aste and degraded natural resources" unimpro%ed bridge" and lac9 of source of electricity" po%erty and illiteracy. 8ecause the community does not ha%e stable source of income other than fishing" the 8ad&aos in the community cant manage to ha%e a satisfying life and ability to sol%e their community problems li9e sanitary issues" poorly utilize and constructed houses planning" and they cant de%elop and preser%e their ethnic community. The community needs proper planning and de%elopment" proper sanitary and )ater resource and pro%ides better access to the city. Their houses must be build in their traditional )ay and a%oid un)anted structures that )ould affect their identity and also to preser%e their heritage as an ethnic tribal group.
C RESEARCH TOPIC & 0ERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE

The -ernacular buildings are human constructs that are the results of relationships among ecological" economic" material" and social factors. Due to the fact that Page 60

%ernacular architecture has e%ol%ed through trial and error methods" %ernacular buildings and site planning depend on substantially e*perience" surrounding conditions" and local materials such as adobe" stone and timber ,6lassie" 000/. ;pecifically" %ernacular architecture is ta9en attention in terms of its continuity.

4ne of the most significant influences on %ernacular architecture is the macro climate of the area in )hich the building is constructed. 8uildings in cold climates in%ariably ha%e high thermal mass or significant amounts of insulation. They are usually sealed in order to pre%ent heat loss" and openings such as )indo)s tend to be small or nonCe*istent. 8uildings in )arm climates" by contrast" tend to be constructed of lighter materials and to allo) significant crossC%entilation through openings in the fabric of the building. 8uildings ta9e different forms depending on precipitation le%els in the region 7 leading to d)ellings on stilts in many regions )ith fre5uent flooding or rainy monsoon seasons.

The main stresses of this climate are high humidity le%els" temperatures and solar radiation.

A technical assistance approach focuses on the use of technical 9no)ledge such as agricultural" health" education" and industrial to design and implement a targeted program of change. (n this approach" a technical e*pert performs a needs assessment of a community situation and designs a focused inter%ention pro&ect. Typically" these are hard pro&ects such as the building of a bridge or industrial par9" the adoption of ordinances" or the introduction of ne) or enhanced ser%ices.

A SITUATIONAL SI TUATIONAL ANALYSIS ANALYSIS RESTATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The 8ad&ao community in the barangay of $alitam and @a)a" 8atangas +ity has been there for more than 30 years. They ha%e li%ed there peacefully since then" but as time changes their source of li%elihood are not enough to sustain a big family of 8ad&ao. 8ecause the community do not ha%e stable source of income and the 8ad&aos in the community do not ha%e 9no)ledge for li%elihood other than fishing" they cant buy all the essential needs for their family and they cant manage to mend and de%elop their community. community. The status of their community is unhygienic and %ery poor. They ha%e poor hygiene" poor )ater source" unmanaged solid )aste and degraded natural resources" and lac9 of source of electricity" electricity" po%erty and illiteracy. They li9ely cant manage to sol%e their communitys problems problems and most of them" mostly children" %enture going to cities to beg for money rather going to school. For them" to earn income to eat for a day is more than enough enough and they no longer longer practices their culture" tradition and beliefs as ;ama 8ad&ao and and that endangers endangers the loss of their identity. The problem is ho) the 8ad&ao in the community can sur%i%e in the 9ind of li%ing that they ha%e and ho) )ill architecture help their community to sustain its needs )ithout depending on people around them.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:
As the study continues" the present condition of the %illage has sho)n in the pre%ious chapters and the issues and problems concerning concerning the de%elopment of the 8ad&ao community are cleared. (t is clear that the 8ad&aos needed help to ha%e a decent li%ing and to preser%e their cultural cultural identities. The The study made by the proponent proponentss ans)ers the 5uestions 5uestions on ho) architecture architecture help the 8ad&ao can. And And lastly" the study ans)ers the 5uestion of )hat techni5ues and strategies can be applied in preser%ing the culture of the 8ad&ao Tribe. Ising the data and information that had been gathered and through through the help of the case studies" it sho)s that the %illage and in the peoples peoples culture" identities" acti%ities" architecture and their en%ironment en%ironment )ere poorly de%eloped and unmaintained. unmaintained. They ha%e difficulty and inability to de%elop their community because of insufficient or poor financial status. Their 9no)ledge for li%elihood is only at sea and other than fishing they do not ha%e capability of pro%iding stable li%elihood. The houses in the community ha%e been preser%ed by the traditional custom built and use of materials but there are some that started to change in a )ay different from the tradition and it affects the unity of the community. The preser%ation of their traditions and culture are at ris9 as modernism" illiteracy and unstable source of income struggles them do de%elop and continue to practice their traditional and cultural acti%ities. The community has %arious needs that are currently lac9ing li9e sanitation and )aste management because of the absence of toilet on their community. Houses are needed to upgrade to pro%ide the ser%ice or needs a home fitted for big households a single 8ad&ao family ha%e. The community of 8ad&ao ma&or needed is to de%elop economic status or sources of income that )ill gi%e them permanent permanent li%elihood that )ill support them" sustain and pro%ide the needs of their community.
RECOMMENDATION:
The analyzed result of the inter%ie)s from the people in the community of the 8ad&ao and other concerned people and obser%ations that )ere conducted sho)s that the 8ad&ao are e*pose to the modern en%ironment but they cant manage to cope up li%ing Page 71

as they are left behind by modernism and they struggling li%ing the )ay they only 9no) and as %agrant that deteriorate their culture and their poor and unhygienic practices in their community is threat to their health and threat of degradation in its nature that might affect the ecological system of the site. According to the study and obser%ation" there should be facilities that pro%ide sanitation or )aste management management for the community and facilities that can preser%e and nurture the culture of the 8ad&ao. The residents face incon%eniences incon%eniences )ith the e*isting condition of their houses" infrastructure and necessities as accessibility )hich can be help by proper de%elopment is ta9en and planning is done. Their main source of income and li%elihood is at sea and their boats are %ery important to them but there is no proper doc9 or pier for their boats boats that causes damages to their boats so they needed proper doc9s for their boat than protects protects their boats especially from storm. The 8ad&ao can also generate products li9e bracelets and nec9laces from the shells" stones" corals and pearls that they gather from fishing and di%ing in the sea that can add up to their tourism. @ith proper guide" planning and de%elopment they can promote s)imming s)imming area for tourist in their area as their community is &ust beside the ocean. >astly to a%oid cultural degradation degradation for the 8ad&ao" there should be a permanent area )ere their traditions and culture and meetings are can be held and also cultureCrelated facilities are the main preference of the 8ad&aos.

@ith the help of the analyzed data from gathered data" the proponents come up to site appropriate to the proposal. (n relation )ith the progress of the study" the site must consist of different parameters and precautions on its rehabilitation and con%ersion process. Addition to these are different constrains and opportunities of the site important to be recognized to come up )ith suitable and sustainable design. These important factors are considered in order to ma9e the study sufficient and feasible to determine the proposals effecti%eness" helping the proponents to determine different techni5ues and strategies in planning and design. The re5uired site must be suitable for a Page 75

For this proposal the user )ho )ill use the pro&ect belongs to an indigenous tribe. 4ne factor should consider is" if the site is appro%ed and legally granted to them. To)ard this" they )ill feel comfortable to use the land and they )ont consider that they are out casted. (t should be located in rural area )here the public ser%ice are located the to)n so they can able to reach them and should be near the sea as they can practice their traditional )ay of li%ing as sea gypsies and fishermen. (n this proposal" there is no site selection to be done because the site )as appro%ed by pri%ate go%ernment o)ner and the Department of n%ironment and Batural ?esources ,DB?/.
