V THE RESEARCH AREAS The views of the young people involved in the study are better understood when placed in the context of their community surroundings. The first challenge we met in identifying our research areas was the sensitivity of the topic. Since the intrusive nature of the questions would affect the readiness and openness of respondents to give honest answers, we chose communities considered urban poor according to official government classification in which we already had youth partners. What follows is a short description of the selected urban communities or barangays in Metro Manila based on a WHCF Baseline Study conducted in 2000. 13 A.

is subdivided into 10 Phases. It is classified as a less developed area of Caloocan City. Bagong Silang became an independent barangay when several hectares of the Tala Estate were allocated as a resettlement site. From February 1982 to November 1983, a series of resolutions were passed to develop the area and formalize ownership of lots for the relocated squatter families coming from nearby areas in Metro Manila.

Its total population (based on the 2000 National Statistics Census) is 64,148 with 13,369 households or families.
