Water and sanitation figures further state that 875 (26.97%) HHs have unsanitary Toilet – not water
sealed (Antipolo pit privy type) and 252 (7.77%) have Non Potable Water. This increases the potential
towards affectation from water borne and vector borne: feco-oral transmission of climate
sensitive/related diseases, typhoid, cholera, and related gastrointestinal ailments.

The table above notes that the morbidities experienced in the 2014 municipal health report shows a
majority of respiratory infections – 1st,2nd, 3rd, 7th which may be primarily bacteria/viral and
exacerbated by climate related changes for the most part and 10th (Asthma) which is considered a
climate sensitive disease. The 4-6th causes are more non-climatic affected primarily. It will be
important then to surface how these diseases can be prevented to help increase adaptive capacities.
The following table shows that for the most part deaths were of the extreme of ages, secondary to
lifestyle diseases; interesting to note that no.5 cause is still a potential indirect effect of climate
change on health through malnutrition, a possible increase in the sensitivity of extremes of ages
contributing to the condition.
