 Para sa aming mga pinuno,

Magandang Araw sa inyo!
Alam ko hindi madali ang responsibilidad niyo bilang mga pinuno pero gusto ko lang sabihin na maraming salamat sa inyo dahil hindi niyo kami pinapabayaan. Sana hindi kayo susuko sa kung ano man ang mangyayari. Maraming mga taong naghihirap ngayon kaya sana magawa niyo ang responsibilidad niyo bilang mga pinuno. Salamat sa pagririnig!

HEALTH PROTOCOLS

DURING THE PANDEMIC


WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COVID-19


PANDEMIC HEALTH PROTOCOLS?


The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the capacity of health systems to


continue the delivery of essential health services. While health systems around the world

are being challenged by increasing demand for care of Covid-19 patients, it is critical to

maintain preventive and curative services, especially for the most vulnerable populations,

such as children, older persons, people living with chronic conditions, minorities and

people living with disabilities. It gives full protection to the people to prevent Covid-19 to

spread rapidly while some minor cases are percentage wise. Some are minimal only.

The implementation of the health protocols had a big impact on people. It helps to make

people aware of the virus and to be more cautious. If there are health protocols, people will

be more aware of what is happening and they will be more careful. With all that’s

happening in the whole world right now, we need protocols to follow so that the situation


doesn’t get worse.


WHAT ARE THE HEALTH PROTOCOLS DURING THE PANDEMIC?

A Health Protocol is a paradigm providing a set of tools which allow health care


providers access to current guidelines which they can apply in practice. It is also a set of

instructions which describe a process to be followed to investigate a particular set of

findings in a patient, or the method which should be followed to control a certain disease.

Everyone has a responsibility to follow the health protocols during the pandemic by

practicing social distancing. Physical Distancing or maintaining space between yourself and

others is a best practice to avoid the virus. Frequent hand washing with clean water and

soap is also one of the most important in preventing the spread of Covid-19.

Hand washing should occur after touching anything in a public area, after using the

restroom, prior to eating, and after touching one’s face or blowing one’s nose.

Sanitizing and Disinfecting are an important part of reducing the risk of exposure to

Covid-19. Routine cleaning can reduce risk of exposure and is a necessary step before

disinfecting surfaces. Cough/sneeze etiquette hygiene should also be practiced. Always

remember to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or If you

do not have tissues, cough or sneeze into the inside of your elbow, not into your hands.

Throw tissue in the trash and immediately wash your hands with soap and water or use

hand sanitizer that contains at least 70% alcohol. Avoid touching the face because the

bacteria in your hands might spread in your face. Respect is also one of the most needed

and important during the pandemic because people might fight and people should help


each other in avoiding the virus.


Use face masks and face shields especially when going out. It is important to cover your


face to avoid the bacteria or the virus in the face. Health care workers, clinical, and

research personnel should follow the PPE guidelines for their specific work area. This

health protocols will be needed and should be followed to reduce the risk of exposure and

spread of Covid-19. People can spread the virus without being sick or knowing they are


sick, so it is important to follow Health Protocols during pandemic.


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING HEALTH PROTOCOLS DURING


THE PANDEMIC?


Health Protocols are made to help prevent the spreading of virus or respiratory diseases


like Covid-19. The importance of health protocols cannot be disputed but the way they

should be managed best will vary from one to another. Following Health Protocols during

the pandemic are the only way we can do to help lessen the spread of virus since we can’t

control or manage the virus from spreading. Many people are dying because of the virus

and some people who become ill with Covid-19 develops a bacterial infection as a

complication. In this case, antibiotics may be recommended by a health care provider but

there is really no cure in Covid-19. That’s why people are scared and stressed. You can also

be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has

Covid-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.

The purpose why we need to know and to follow the Health Protocols about Covid-19 is to

make sure that we have a role to play in protecting the physical and mental health of


ourselves and others and to prevent these such illnesses.


WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE


HEALTH PROTOCOLS?


Health protocols have been implemented to make it easier for us to prevent the spread of

the virus but even though the situation is dangerous, many people seem to be violating

health protocols, many still come out even after the curfew, many still do not wear masks

and this is one of the main reasons why we find it difficult to reduce the number of people

that are infected. Violating the health protocols could increase the risk of work-related

illness and injuries. The more people violate health protocols, the wider the virus would

spread. The virus would also spread faster. If people would violate the rules, the virus

would spread faster and it might be harder to control. The accelerating increase in covid-

19 cases is one of the effects of violating health protocols and people don’t seem to be

scared enough to comply with enforced protocols. The increase in the number of Covid-19

cases is will lead to a lockdown which will lead to the closing of various establishments

which will also lead to economic downturn. People who violate health protocols will be

arrested and by being not careful enough, they might get the virus that will make the work

of our frontliners even more difficult. The work of the frontliners are already hard and if

we add more because of our negligence, we will only be a burden to them. Not only our

lives are at risk but also the lives of others especially those people we come in contact.


DO HEALTH PROTOCOLS HELPS LESSEN THE VIRUS TO SPREAD?


Following health protocols will not eliminate the virus but it helps us to stay away from it.


According to our research Health protocols will be a big impact to our health if we follow it

correctly. It reduces the chance and risk of getting and spreading the virus rapidly.

Disciplining ourselves in following the Health protocols will be the most effective way to

prevent catching the virus. We can't control the virus but we can control ourselves in

following the Health protocols and Healthy habits. Doing unhealthy things can only

damage our immune system like drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, eating unhealthy

foods, sleeping late, not drinking water and vitamins.. etc. these are the things that can

make our immune system low and easily get infected by the virus. That’s why we need to


have healthy lifestyle and follow health protocols.

Diskriminasyon


  Walang mga tunay na kadahilanang moral kung bakit dinidiskrimina ng mga tao ang ibang tao ngunit ang diskriminasyon ay nangyayari pa rin sa lahat ng oras. Ang diskriminasyon ay kapag ang isang tao ay tratuhin nang hindi makatarungan o masama dahil ang tao ay isa sa isang partikular na pangkat.  Ito ay ang hindi patas o prejudicial na paggamot sa mga tao at pangkat batay sa mga katangian tulad ng lahi, kasarian, edad o oryentasyong sekswal.

  Tulad ng bawat tao, ang isang tao na may iba't ibang pananaw o pagpipilian laban sa mga pamantayan sa lipunan ay isang tao pa rin. Hindi magkakaroon ng dahilan kung bakit nagtatangi ang mga tao. Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit bilang isang kabataan, mahalaga na dapat nating malaman ang tamang mga bagay na dapat gawin upang labanan ang isyung panlipunan na ito. Ang bawat tao ay may karapatan sa kanyang buhay ngunit madalas na naririnig natin ang mga nakakasakit na kuwento ng mga taong nagdurusa nang malupit dahil sa pagiging kabilang sa isang "iba" na pangkat mula sa mga nasa posisyon ng pribilehiyo o kapangyarihan. Mahalaga na dapat tayo ay mas malakas kaysa sa mga nagtatangi. Ang diskriminasyon ay maaaring humantong sa paghahati-hati, poot at maging sa pagwawalang-bisa ng ibang tao sapagkat mayroon silang ibang pagkakakilanlan. Ang pag-uugali na ito ay maaaring makapinsala at maaaring humantong sa isang iba't ibang mga problema sa pisikal at kalusugan ng isip.

  Bilang isang tao na may mga pribilehiyo, ang pinakamaliit na magagawa natin ay tumulong na labanan ang hindi pagkakapantay-pantay. Dapat tayo maging suportado at magalang sa mga tao. Dapat tayong gumawa ng aksyon upang matugunan ang mga ugat na sanhi ng diskriminasyon, kasama ang paghahamon ng mga stereotype at pag-uugali na nagbabatay sa diskriminasyon. Dapat tayong maging ligtas na puwang para sa mga nasa panganib.

Diskriminasyon

 

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pullin' you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
You think it's easy
You think I don't wanna run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why because we're able to be
Just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see
That it was hopeless after all
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible
It's not impossible
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied

ps: The lyric I highlighted is the one the got me the most because they wished that they could be together without anyone stopping them, because in reality there is a racism that is involved where the parents of the man does not want the girl who has a different skin color. It is really sad to hear that they both love each other so bad but they can't do nothing about it.
