Findings in SDG 6 Clean water and Sanitation

Aetas have to stimulate their innate competitive potential, and seek to develop themselves. Inequalities in opportunity, notably in secondary education, access to good water, and power, must be addressed. This can be valuable inputs for policymakers in order to minimize the amount of disparity in opportunities across the country's many ethnic groups. There is a need to improve access to adequate housing and other infrastructural services, particularly clean drinking water and basic sanitation, for ethnic groups.

At every fiesta of our parokya, I've observed aetas roaming in each city/barangay in search of clean water and food. That is why I believe we must solve this issue in order for people to have access to clean water and sanitation. In which one of the study water samples are collected from production and household wells around Pampanga to be analyzed for salinity and probable pollution of the groundwater in the area. Wells and other groundwater sources are critical to the homes and businesses of Pampanga residents. Nuclear methods were utilized by scientists from the University of the Philippines–Diliman and the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute to determine where the salinity of groundwater originates. This method assures that their valuable freshwater supplies are not only available but also free of salinity contamination.

Rising rural inequality occurred between 1994 and 1997, and again between 2009 and 2012. This may be linked to a bias toward urban and coastal locations but against rural and inland regions as a result of the rise of new economic possibilities brought about by technological change, globalization, and market-oriented reforms.In which inequality of opportunity in earnings is lower in rural areas than in urban areas, and significant factors affecting inequality include absence of high paying jobs in rural areas and limited choices regarding decisions about their children due to infrastructural constraints in rural areas. Opportunity deprivation is also found to be strongly correlated with ethnicity, region and family background. That is why I feel that Aetas must be taught how to utilize technology and be educated in other sectors for them to understand new topics in order to better their ideas and inform others about their ethnicity.

The use of online technologies may update their identity, but this is not a priority. No amount of technology will ever be able to modify the distinctness of Aetas coherent behavior. Social media can help the Aeta tribes restore their separated communities and maintain the ideals that have earned them a reputation as a distinctive group that appreciates communalism. Through social media, Aetas created groups that resembled social meetings. These are activities aimed at connecting and relieving the Aeta community. Strengthening identity with the use of an electronic gateway may result in a different opportunity of improving lives and hope for a brighter future for our Aeta buddies. It also allows them to make their voices heard and communicate with others all around the world in real time. However, technology may also reinforce preconceptions and create division by providing a venue for hate speech and disinformation, as well as amplifying echo chambers. As a result, social media algorithms might contribute to the fragmentation of civilizations all over the world. However, they have the ability to do the opposite.

Pampanga was founded by the Spanish conquistador, Martín de Goiti, in 1571. The name was derived from the native Kapampangan words " pangpang ilog meaning "riverside where the early Malayan settlements were concentrated along the Rio Grande de la Pampanga Kapampangan men are known for their gallantry and leadership while Kapampangan women are famous for their beauty and skill in culinary arts. Pampanga , one of the richest provinces in the Philippines , was re-organized as a province by the Spaniards on December 11 , 1571. For governmental control and taxation purposes , the Spanish authorities subdivided Pampanga into towns (pueblos) which were further subdivided into districts (barrios ) and in some cases, into royal and private estates (encomiendas). Ancient Pampanga's territorial area used to include portions of the provinces of Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, Tarlac , and Zambales in the big Island of Luzon of the Philippine Archipelago .

Inequality has risen practically everywhere in recent decades, albeit at varying rates. These growing discrepancies necessitate strong policies that empower lower-income earners while also promoting economic inclusion for all, regardless of gender, color, or ethnicity. Income inequality necessitates global solutions. This includes enhancing the regulation and oversight of financial markets and institutions, as well as increasing development aid and foreign direct investment in areas where it is most needed. Facilitating safe movement and mobility of people is also critical to closing the gap.

Too much of the world’s wealth is held by a very small group of people. This often leads to financial and social discrimination. In order for nations to flourish, equality and prosperity must be available to everyone - regardless of gender, race, religious beliefs or economic status. When every individual is self-sufficient, the entire world prospers.

One in three people live without sanitation. This is causing unnecessary disease and death. Although huge strides have been made with access to clean drinking water, lack of sanitation is undermining these advances. If we provide affordable equipment and education in hygiene practices, we can stop this senseless suffering and loss of life.

Ensuring universal safe and affordable drinking water involves reaching over 800 million people who lack basic services and improving accessibility and safety of services for over two billion. In 2015, 4.5 billion people lacked safely managed sanitation services (with adequately disposed or treated excreta) and 2.3 billion lacked even basic sanitation.

Pampanga is a Philippine province in the central region of the island of Luzon. It has a limited land area with a total land mass of 2,180.68 square kilometers and is located in the middle plain.

It has a very flat environment with one recognizable mountain, Mount Arayat, and the well-known Pampanga River. Porac has the most land mass among its municipalities, with 343.12 square kilometers; Candaba is second, with 208.7 square kilometers; and Lubao is third, with 155.77 square kilometers.

Pampanga is mostly agricultural, and key changes in Pampango society may be traced back to changes in the agricultural pattern. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, whose ashfall blanketed much of Pampanga's agricultural area, altered the province's landscape and economic character.

Pampanga province has two different climates: wet and dry. The rainy or wet season typically begins in May and lasts until October, with the remainder of the year classified as the dry season. The hottest months of the year are March and April, while the coldest months are December through February.
