INTRODUCTION

Health is wealth, but for our Local Government of Bulan, this

maxim seems not to be applicable at all. The continuing problem of

the locality seems troublesome to the patients needing healthcare

from the hospital. The Government has done a little in improving

the institution but to no avail.

The Department of Health (DOH), as stated in the Philippine

Hospital Association (PHA) website, is on its way of strengthening

the hospitals of the country. Amidst the mantra of the institution,

Pantaleon G. Gotladera Memorial Hospital, a member of PHA and

has been around for many years already, has not improved from its

establishment but deteriorated instead. It might be forever forgotten

and left behind but be part of that mission – to be strengthened, it is

now in a very desolate situation in all aspects and in dire need of a

fresh start.

With the fact that Bulan does not have an efficient functional

hospital though a first class municipality is somehow ironic.

With over 94,000 inhabitants, a number of those maternal,

sick, weak, infants and dying are in need of treatment and health

care.

One of the main views of the LGU’s must be on the health

and health care as mandate in the Devolution Code of the Local

Government of 1991 and must be aligned in PD 856 and PD 1096,

but cannot be met by the Pantaleon G. Gotladera Memorial

Hospital.

The intention of the Bulan Online Observers really made the

researchers wonder the birth of the new Pantaleon G. Gotladera

Memorial Hospital in this proposal. To materialize this, the need for

facilities, equipment and redevelopment on building site must be

done.

All these current and foreseen circumstances lead to the

realization of redeveloping the site and providing sufficient facilities

regarding the concern to the hospital.



STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Generally, the main problem is to redevelop a dilapidated

hospital in the province – the Pantaleon G. Gotladera Memorial

Hospital in Bulan.

Specifically, it concerns the following questions:

1. What design is appropriate for redeveloping the Pantaleon

G. Gotladera Memorial Hospital?

2. What are the requirements in redeveloping the site and what

facilities and laboratories that must be incorporated in the

hospital?

3. What concepts and strategies should be integrated to

achieve building sustainability and adaptation to climate

change?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The proposed redevelopment of Pantaleon G. Gotladera

Memorial Hospital is a proof on the statement issued on the PHA

website: “…strengthening the hospitals…” The study hopefully

helps the problem of the locality to improve the institution in terms

of the architectural and building design, facilities and sites by

redevelopment.

The study will definitely provide a great impact to individuals,

group in all walks of life.

In addition, the study is to benefit the following:

Architecture students – students can gain insights

from this study concerning the same issue and topic

that this time has tackled.

Bulaneños – the study presents Bulaneños as the

main end-users of the proposed project; giving them

advantage from the improved hospital.

Medical personnel – through this, the institution of

medical equipment and facilities brought about by

redevelopment will be a breakthrough for feasible and

better work from them.



Patients – the service of the Pantaleon G. Gotladera

Memorial Hospital will become more convenient;

increase in the satisfaction due to service is expected

LGU of Bulan – the result of the study will lessen

their work in improving a desolated institution.

Future researchers – the findings, solutions and

conclusions in this study may affirm, refute or inspire

the foresights to replicate and widen the horizon of

the people.

SCOPE AND LIMITATION

The researcher gave the study a definite and clearer view on

what it is all about by providing the scope and limitations.

The scope of the study only focused on the architectural

aspect of the hospital with the purpose of redeveloping it; its

facilities and the site.

The inadequate access of the architectural data limited the

run of this study.
