Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

1.1.1 MindoroMindoro is the seventh-largest island in the Philippines. It is located off the coast of Luzon, and northeast of Palawan. The southern coast of Mindoro forms the northeastern extremum of the Sulu Sea. In past times, it has been called Mai or Mait by Chinese traders and, by Spaniards, as Mina de Oro (meaning "gold mine") from where the island got its current name. According to the late historian William Henry Scott, an entry in the official history of the Sung Dynasty for the year 972 mentions Ma-i as a trading partner of China. Other Chinese records referring to Ma-i or Mindoro appear in the years that follow.From 1920 to 1950, the island was a single province with Calapan City as the provincial capital. In 1950, it was divided into its two present-day provinces, Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro, following a referendum that was pushed through by then acting governor Romeo Venturanza.Figure 1: Political Map of Oriental MindoroSource: Ph fil oriental mindoro" by Roel Balingit

1.1.1.1 Oriental MindoroA province of the Philippines located in the island of Mindoro under MIMAROPA region in Luzon, about 140 km southwest of Manila. The province is bordered by the Verde Island Passage and the rest of Batangas to the north, by Marinduque, Maestre de Campo (or known as Sibale but official name is Concepcion) Island, Tablas Strait and the rest of Romblon to the east, by Semirara and the rest of Caluya Islands, Antique to the south, and by Occidental Mindoro to the west.

Oriental Mindoro is composed of 14 municipalities, with one city, Calapan City serving as the provincial capital.

1.1.1.2 Occidental MindoroA province of the Philippines located in the MIMAROPA region in Luzon. Its capital is Mamburao and occupies the western half of the island of Mindoro, on the west by Apo East Pass, and on the south by the Mindoro Strait; Oriental Mindoro is at the eastern half. The South China Sea is to the west of the province and Palawan is located to the southwest, across Mindoro Strait. Batangas is to the north, separated by the Verde Island Passage.

Occidental Mindoro is subdivided into 11 municipalities. Abra De IlogFigure 2: Political Map of Occidental MindoroSource: "Ph fil occidental mindoro" by Roel Balingit

1.1.2.2 Mangyan

According to Mangyan Heritage Center in Calapan, Mindoro, There are around 300 million indigenous peoples in the world. In the Philippines, of the projected population of 94 million in 2010, about 15% belong to indigenous groups. Figure 3: Ethnographic Map of Mindoro (Mangyan Tribes) Source: Mangyan Heritage Center

Mindoro is the seventh largest island in the Philippines, with an area of 10,224 square kilometers and two provinces Oriental and Occidental. Of the total population of one million, the indigenous population is estimated at 100,000 +, 10% of the total population of Oriental and Occidental Mindoro, 70% animists and 30% Christians, but official statistics are difficult to determine under the conditions of remote areas, reclusive tribal groups and some having little if any outside world contact.

Mangyan is the collective name for the eight indigenous groups living in Mindoro, each with its own name, language, and set of customs: Iraya, Alangan, Tadyawan, Tau-buid, Bangon, Buhid, Hanunuo, and Ratagnon.

Census of Population and Housing of the 8 tribes population (total of 104,056 Mangyans) from National Statistics Office: Household population by Ethnicity and Sex as of May 1, 2010 gives the following figures: Oriental Mindoro

Occidental Mindoro

1.1.2.2.1 Iraya (26,789 population 2010 NSO )The Iraya occupy the northwestern part of Mindoro, where one of the country's highest peaks, Mount Halcon, is located. The word "Iraya" is derived from the prefix "i" - denoting people, and "raya", a variation of "laya" which means "upstream," "upriver" or "upland". Thus the meaning of the word is "people from upstream" or "uplanders". Historically, however, the Iraya occupied the coastal region in some distant past, until they were pushed further inland by settlers from other places. The word also means "man", "person", and adult" (Servano, 2006)1.1.2.2.2 Alangan (16,595 population 2010 NSO )The Alangan occupy northwest central Mindoro. One theory about this term is that it could mean "a group of people whose culture is awkward", from the Tagalog word alangan, which means among other things "uncertainty", "doubt" or "precariousness". (Servano, 2006)1.1.2.2.3 Tadyawan (4,271 population 2010 NSO )There is scant information available regarding the Tadyawan, who live in sparse settlements in the northeast part of the island. 1.1.2.2.4 Tau-buid (11,716 population 2010 NSO )The Batangan or Taubuhid (also Tawbuhid), the most numerous of the Mangyan groups, occupy the central highlands of the island in the Occidental Mindoro. They live in a region where mountains tower 1950 m high. The word "batangan" derives from "batang", meaning "trunk of a felled tree", and "an", meaning "place", and refers to a place where felled tree trunks may be found, probably a swidden field. (Servano, 2006)1.1.2.2.5 Bangon (13,656 population 2010 NSO )The Batangan are also known as Bangon or Taubuhid. Other names used to refer to them are Bukid, Bu'id, Buhid, and Buhil, despite the fact that there is a separate identifiable group to the south, the Buhid. Local subgroups include the Bayanan and Saragan. (Servano, 2006)1.1.2.2.6 Buhid (913 population 2010 NSO ) The Buhid occupy the south central part of Mindoro. Their territory just about equally straddles the eastern and western provinces comprising the island. (Servano, 2006)1.1.2.2.7 Hanunuo (29,188 population 2010 NSO )The Hanunoo Mangyan live in a mountainous area about 800 sqkm in the southeastern part of the island, mainly in Oriental Mindoro. Their territory is under the municipal jurisdiction of Mansalay, Bulalacao, and a certain part of San Jose, which is the capital of Occidental Mindoro.1.1.2.2.8 Ratagnon (928 population 2010 NSO ) The Ratragon occupy the southernmost tip of the island province, quite close to the coast facing the Sulu Sea. They lie nearest the aquatic route going to Busuanga Island in the northernmost Palawan and the Cuyo islands, two places where the language spoken is Cayunon, which is also used by the Ratagnon (Servano, 2006)

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The Oriental Mindoro Health Investment Plan (OMHIP) admits that public health facilities which cater to the poor are mostly ill-equipped, with inadequate supply of drugs and medical supplies. Private hospitals that provide better health care are beyond the reach of the poor. It also acknowledges the limited access of Mangyans to health services. In addition, this development is aiming to give solution to the following problems that currently exists on our health care for lung and respiratory health:

In this province, respiratory diseases still rank as the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. The most common causes of morbidity are upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). In Occidental Mindoro, acute respiratory infection has also been the leading cause of morbidity, followed by diarrhea and gastroenteritis. There is no hospital development that specialized in prevention and cure of lung and respiratory diseases to effectively reduce the case of such diseases.

As shown in the 1.1.3.1 Table of Hospitals and Infirmaries Statistics, existing and new facilities offers limited type of service and care for the prevention, cure and treatment of lung and respiratory diseases. Most of the public hospitals are at Infirmary level and four (4) out of 13 in the whole province is at Level 1 Hospital which is a very small hospital, an emergency type one that offers ONLY: initial treatment for cases that require immediate treatment and that provides primary care for prevalent diseases in the area general medicine, pediatrics, minor surgeries, and non-surgical gynecology primary clinical laboratory, pharmacy and first level radiology nursing care for patients needing minimal supervised carePatients have no choice but transfer to private hospitals because of the limited services and equipment.Source: Center for Health Development- Region IVB Statistics as of 2010(Highlighted are disease/ ailments connected to Respiratory System)

Facilities are deteriorating because of lack or insufficient fund allocation or subsidy. Thus, resulting to poor medical care to patients. These are the main challenges confronting the public hospitals are: (1)deficient infrastructure,(2)deficient manpower,(3)unmanageable patient load,(4)equivocal quality of services,(5)high out of pocket expenditure.

1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDYChallenges in providing health care for everyone is the focus of the research. Some factors are given below that made the study significant:1.3.1 Significance of the study to the patientsThere are two Primary Users- Patients in this study the Tagalogs and Mangyans. This study will show how healthcare should be universal and equal (age, gender, class and special conditions including PWDs).1.3.2 Significance of the study to the healthcare providersThe study will provide healthcare providers a better understanding on Mangyans health beliefs and be able to make solutions or necessary adaptations on cultural differences1.3.3 Significance of the study to the field of Healthcare ArchitectureThe study will also have significance in the field of architecture since the development is one of the new concepts in a building development. Architecture will be the medium on how social factors affect the design of buildings.

1.4 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES1.4.1 GOALTo plan and design Mina de Oro Provincial Hospital and Center for Respiratory Health1.4.2 OBJECTIVES1.4.2.1 To design a Tertiary Level General hospital with specialized services for cure and prevention of lung and respiratory diseases that will can also cater other provinces in MIMAROPA; To make health care services more accessible for Mangyan and Poor Communities, a culture-sensitive facility, by allocating special Mangyan wards and provision of free medical services to Mangyan patients and training of Mangyan volunteer health workers.1.4.2.2 Design a New Hospital by applying the principles of therapeutic and healing design approach for better comfort and convenience of the users and for faster recovery of the patients in the 1.4.2.3 Design a Self- Sustaining Hospital to minimize operating and maintenance cost, and maximize expenditure on health related services.

1.5 SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

1.5.1 SCOPEThe study will discuss the significance of a Provincial Hospital and Center for Respiratory Health: its organizational structure: the people and spaces which involves such development. It will also identify the best location for the development and its specific architectural design planning and development schemes

This study will give the reader a broad knowledge of what a culture-sensitive hospital is like, especially in the province of Mindoro and how it will help the poor health status in the province and in its region.

1.5.2 DELIMITATIONSThis study is delimited to architectural concept, design and ideas as well as its planning and organization of spaces and brief structural schemes. Environmental systems may differ depending on site location; studies of other potential sites can be done. The solution will also be limited because of budget restrain but provision for expansion will be allocated. Set of users showed in this book is based on the standards and may be changed depending on the location and functions/level of hospital. However, this book can serve as a reference on similar health facilities that also aims for the ware fell of other Indigenous people or tribes.

1.6 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

For the past years, the poor and the disadvantaged groups in the region have encountered many kinds of barriers when trying to gain access to health care and medical services, basic education, water and sanitation, nutrition services and shelter. The inequities in access to health facilities and services resulted to poor health condition across rural and urban population and communities. With the increasing regional population, the provision of health and nutrition services must be expanded and intensified considering the anticipated level demand for these services. The challenge to meet these demands to improve the well-being of the people will require an orchestrated actions from the national and local governments, private groups, non-government organizations and the people/communities themselves. (MIMAROPA Regional Development Plan 2011-2016, 2015)

Social Sector: Health Services

Goal1. A socially developed city with healthy, highly skilled and globally competitive individuals and well-protected citizenry with access to basic social services in a well-balanced environment.

Objectives1. To attain quality standard of health and promote a peaceful, lively and productive life.2. To accomplish the majority set of regional targets in terms of the Millennium Development Goals.3. To achieve full access to socially responsive and quality health services to all the people of MIMAROPA region.4. To greatly improve the health status of all the regional populace and contribute to the poverty alleviation and socio-economic development of the region.

Strategies

Promote the upgrading, expansion and modernization of community health facilities and manpower resource; Initiate a public-private partnership in the construction of health infrastructures and in investment in development of natural /herbal drugs where local governments resources is limited or inadequate. Increase the coverage, access and utilization of health care services through implementation of sector wide approach and providing equitable pro-poor, client-oriented and best quality services. Accelerate the financing, construction and delivery of specialized/advanced secondary and tertiary health facilities in major towns and cities to increase and expand peoples access to modern and quality health services. Intensify health promotion and education and disease prevention in the school through provision of standard toilet and safe water facilities, package of basic school health services and inculcating healthy habits and practices and sex education in school children. Intensify the service delivery and management of projects/programs and prevention and control of communicable diseases (STI/HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, etc.) through community mobilization and participation in the control of the infectious diseases.Existing Oriental Mindoro Provincial HospitalProposed Mina De Oro Provincial Hospital

In the Province of Oriental Mindoro, there is an existing Provincial Hospital which is level 1 with 100 beds which is located in the City of Calapan. The poorest of the population are the main users of government health facilities, yet these health facilities are too remote to them especially from the Municipality of Bulalacao and Manansalay which is at the farthest end of the Province, approximately 6 hours away through the usual means of transportation, which at worst case because of still insufficient service and equipment will be further referred to Region IV-As Regional Hospital which is 1-2 hours away via boat plus 30 minutes on land transportation.

The proposed Provincial Hospital in Pinamalayan, which is centrally located provincially and Regionally is an attempt to give solution to the previously stated problems in persisting causes of mortatlity and morbidity; very insufficient number of hospital beds compare to the provinces vastly increasing population; and cultural problems especially of the MangyansFigure 3 ORIENTAL MINDORO SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM on Health Sector

The study is not a physical plan yet but is under ORIENTAL MINDORO SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM of Hon. Alfonso V. Umali, Jr. and Hon. Reynaldo V. Umali on Health Sector.

1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS, ABBREVIATIONS AND CONCEPTS1.7.1 General Textual Definitions1.7.1.1 Contextual Definitions

BLT (buildleasetransfer) - Under BLT a private entity builds a complete project and leases it to the government. On this way the control over the project is transferred from the project owner to a lessee. In other words, the ownership remains by the shareholders but operation purposes are leased. After the expiry of the leasing the ownership of the asset and the operational responsibility are transferred to the government at a previously agreed price. For foreign investors taking into account the country risk BLT provides good conditions because the project company maintains the property rights while avoiding operational risk.
