This United Nation Sustainable Development Goal should be given more focus because currently, the situation in Abuyog is not very appealing to tourists. Abuyog is also known for its wonderful beaches. However as of the moment, residents of Abuyog are not very responsible when it comes to disposing their trash properly. The beaches that are supposed to beautiful in order to attract tourists are now full of plastic bottles and plastic containers which affects the life below water and the quality of water. Before, the beach used to be in a shade of blue but right now, the water in most of the beaches are color brown due to the trashes of littering residents.

Due to the improper disposal of trash, a little rain can cause flash floods because the sewers are clogged with trash. When this Sustainable Development Goal is looked on, Abuyog can be restored to its glory and attract tourists once again.

Quality care and up to date services is a must for the health of every human being. Especially in this time of a pandemic.

The municipality of Abuyog is deprived of quality care and up to date services in their hospitals. They also lack health programs for every individual. As of the moment, residents of Abuyog that have been infected of the COVID-19 virus that need immediate care, still need to travel for 2 hours just to get to Tacloban City in order to be admitted in a hospital that has the adequate services in battling this pandemic. Not only does Abuyog Hospital lack services and machines for COVID-19 but they are also short staffed.
