REALIZATIONS AND CONCLUSION
Personally, I am not an outgoing person and I’ve always been staying indoors. This activity made me more aware of my surroundings. As someone who has been living in the same area for 3 years and move out of the place I’ve been staying at for the past years of my life, I realized that there is more in the community I’m staying in. I’ve learned that there are different teams that regulates and monitors the safety of people in the community. It’s not an easy job for barangay officials to make sure everyone in the community are being served and are safe. It’s also important to appreciate the good works and effort of these people.

Safest Spaces
A safe space is where a person feels comfortable and safe. Where an individual feels safe from danger and calamities. There are a lot of safe place in the barangay as it is near the university. When I had my walk around the place, I noticed that there are a lot of safe spaces.
