Topic: Flooding Problem in the Municipality of Masantol, Pampanga
Masantol is deemed as one of the Province of Pampanga's catch basin towns that is located near the Pampanga River and is surrounded by water, making it more vulnerable to flooding. It is subdivided into 26 barangays and two independent/dependent sitios, all of which are flood-prone, especially during typhoons. Flooding has a huge impact on Masantoleños in various ways and is considered the town's main problem which hasn't been solved yet.
Rationale
Flooding has a negative impact on people, which is why it is essential to understand the main cause and broader picture of the problem, along with disseminating information to residents.
The issue has a serious effect on the community, resulting in the desire to explore more about how flooding impacts people's lives, businesses, education, and other aspects.
Flooding has been a concern in the municipality for a long time, and it is in needs to take action and evaluate what potential remedies will possibly end or even minimize the flooding in order to regain the town's old happiness.
Action to resolve the situation will be achievable, with the help of the people in authorities. The goal is to learn about the officials' plans for addressing this issue, including those running for municipal office.
Flooding is a serious matter in the Municipality of Masantol. I've chosen to discuss this issue because it has been a hot topic in our community in the past and continues to be so present. The proposal aims to gather information concerning flooding and educate citizens about the problem. I'll need to take a step in order to make the plan a reality.
I'll be interviewing at least 5 random citizens, 2 educators from private or public schools, 2 officials in positions or running for political office, and 1 businessman, whether owning a small or large business. The purpose of having a total of ten respondents from various roles is to identify their different perspectives and possible solutions ideas to the problem.
I'll be using an online platform, either through Google Forms or a Messenger Conversation. If respondents prefer face-to-face interviews, I will do such, ensuring health protocols are followed. In order to conduct the discussion, I will need questionnaires and letters of permission. Respondents have the freedom to write and speak anything their hearts desire. I will assure them that all information acquired will be used exclusively for academic purposes.
Following the interview process, the next step is to organize the information acquired. I'll create a profile for the respondents to compile the answers. I'll fact-check and evaluate their responses then create a document based on the information I've accumulated.
