      abstract = {This study evaluated the sewage systems and wastewater management practices in Barangay Sumacab Este, Cabanatuan City. It examined the current profile of sewage systems in terms of type of facility, age, structural integrity, and frequency of maintenance, and assessed how residents and commercial stakeholders managed wastewater, including domestic graywater, blackwater, and small-scale commercial sewage. A mixed-methods research design was utilized, integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to selected residents and establishment operators using stratified random sampling. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, and mean through a Likert scale. Qualitative data were obtained from open-ended responses and were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring issues and patterns. The findings revealed the condition and effectiveness of existing sewage systems and identified the wastewater management practices in the barangay. The study also identified issues such as inadequate maintenance, structural deficiencies, and improper disposal methods. The results served as a basis for proposing practical and sustainable improvements to enhance sanitation, environmental quality, and public health in the community.},
