What are the causes of the said problems?

According to the Barangay Officials the causes of this problems/cases happening to the Barangay is due to
lack of information and security to the areas. Also, some cases are unreported because of some personal
reason of the person/victim. They don’t report it directly to the Officials, he/she will wait for the time when
the case is getting worst.

Cite concrete solution for them?

The best way to avoid or lessen the numbers of cases in this Barangays is to visit at least twice or thrice a
year each residence just to see how they lived and to know their status or situation. In that way, they will
easily found out if there are problems that needed to be fix and help. Another solution for this was to assign
officials/staffs in different area of the Barangay to secure the place if it is safe, especially to the safeness of
the children and women.
