Introduction
Disaster Risk Reduction helps us consider our emergency response activities in light
of existing and new disaster risks. This enables us to design or adjust our activities so that
people and communities become safer and more disaster-resilient. Part of the DRR is to give
trainings to give us an idea what to do in case of emergencies.

Care for Health- being healthy is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being
and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This aims to give knowledge on medical-
related fields needed in the community. It includes medical services like first-aid operation,
vaccination, basic lifesaving seminars, and training of youth to be first and assistants.
Environment-the natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring
naturally. It involves management of waste, environmental protection, dissemination and
application of technologies supportive of the community needs and livelihood activities related
to environment and other related fields supportive of the national thrust.

Parks are essential in establishing and maintaining the quality of life in any community,
ensuring the health of families and youth, and contributing to the economic and environmental
wellbeing of a community and a region.
The COVID-19 pandemic also brought in its share of social isolation and loneliness,
thereby upsetting people's emotional wellbeing. According to a report by Mental Health
America, from April to September 2020, among people screened with moderate to severe
symptoms of anxiety or depression, 70 percent reported that one of the top three things
contributing to their mental health concerns was loneliness or isolation. People are
increasingly using parks and green spaces to get rid of loneliness and spring back to emotional
and mental health.
As fitness and recreation trends are continuously evolving around the globe, this article
sketches the top trends in the park and rec segment for the year 2021. It is an attempt to
indicate new and standard practices that the community could adopt at large to use parks and
recreation spaces for holistic wellbeing effectively.
Issue No. 2: Philippines: Country faces health and human rights crisis one year into
the COVID-19 pandemic
The Philippine government must urgently address the country’s COVID-19 crisis with
reports of thousands having struggled to access adequate healthcare, said Amnesty
International today. Hospitals remain at risk of being overwhelmed, following a sharp surge in
hospitalizations and new cases since March. “Specific measures to protect those most
affected, including health workers and those most at-risk, must be taken without further delay.
Furthermore, the government must stop attacking human rights defenders and activists, a
practice that only makes a dire situation worse.”
The Philippines currently has the second highest number of new COVID-19 cases in
Southeast Asia, with over 116,000 reported cases at the time of writing. Since the beginning
of the pandemic, nearly 1 million people have been infected by the virus and 17,000 people

Amid a renewed surge of cases of COVID-19, the mishandling of the pandemic has
resulted in a critical lack of access to healthcare, which has grown especially acute in recent
weeks. Health workers have raised the alarm about hospitals being overwhelmed owing to
a lack of beds and insufficient health personnel. Workers are also experiencing unpaid benefits
and lack of medical-grade personal protective equipment (PPE).
Over the past several weeks, Metro Manila and the nearby provinces of Bulacan,
Cavite, Laguna and Rizal have been under stricter quarantine measures, after several
hospitals reported reaching ‘critical’ occupancy rates following a surge in COVID-19 cases.
Dr. Pauline Convocar, an emergency medical specialist for both public and private
hospitals, described to Amnesty International the lack of a prepared health care system –
which has been the case for the Philippines for decades but made worse by the pandemic.
The government’s pandemic response agencies have been widely criticised for being led by
military officials rather than public health experts. In addition, the 19 billion PHP (393 million
USD) budget of the scandal-hit National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict
(NTF-ELCAC) has also drawn outcry for misallocation of resources.
The recent surge once again highlighted the severe difficulties that health
workers have faced, with very little improvement from their situation when the pandemic
started a year ago. As of April 2021, at least 80 health workers in the Philippines have lost
their lives due to COVID-19, according to the national Department of Health.
health workers have yet to receive their legally mandated allowances. These include special
risk allowance and a hazard pay, as well as allowances for food, transportation and
accommodation and benefits since September 2020, as well as their annual performance-

Marginalized communities continue to suffer at the hands of police and face extra
challenges due to COVID-19, including additional obstacles in access to healthcare and a loss
of income as they were unable to work during pandemic restrictions.
World leaders including President Duterte have used COVID-19 to launch fresh
attacks on human rights. In the midst of the pandemic, the government launched a vicious
campaign of raids, arrests and killings of activists and human rights defenders who have been
‘red-tagged’ – or accused of links to ‘communist’ and ‘terrorist groups – while killings of
suspected drug offenders have continued.
In recent days, individuals and groups that set up “community pantries” in their local
neighbourhoods – to provide food and other essential supplies for free to those in need – have
also been accused by police and government officials of links to ‘communist’ groups, sparking
outcry from the public. The Alliance of Health Workers has also expressed alarm at being
‘red-tagged’ by the government-created National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed
Conflict, after calling for increased government support and better response to the pandemic.
The task force is also behind the ‘red-tagging’ of many other human rights defenders and
activists that often lead to increased harassment, attacks and even killings.

Even before COVID-19 struck and caused problems for millions of families, the
country’s financial status is one of the top factors that add to the growing education issues in
the Philippines. Furthermore, more children, youth, and adults can’t get a leg up and are thus
left behind due to unfair access to learning.
Moving forward, such issues can lead to worse long-term effects. Now, we’ll delve
deep into the current status and how we can take part in social efforts to help fight these key
concerns of our country.
Filipinos from rich households or living in cities and developed towns have more
access to private schools. In contrast, less favored groups are more bound to deal with lack
of classrooms, teachers, and means to sustain topnotch learning.
A 2018 study found that a sample number of 15-year-old Filipino students ranked last
in reading comprehension out of 79 countries. They also ranked 78th in science and math. One
key insight from this study is it implies those tested mostly came from public schools. Hence,
the crisis also lies in the fact that a lot of Filipinos can’t read or do simple math.
Indeed, it’s clear that there is a class divide between rich and poor students in the country.
Though this is the case, less developed states can focus on learning if it’s covered in their top
concerns. However, the Philippines don’t invest on topnotch learning as compared to its
neighbor countries. In fact, many public schools lack computers and other tools despite the
digital age. Further, a shortfall in the number of public school teachers is also one of the top
issues in the country due to their being among the lowest-paid state workers. Aside from that,
more than 3 million children, youth, and adults remain unenrolled since the school shutdown.

This yet brings another issue in the current system. Millions of Filipinos don’t have
access to computers and other digital tools at home to make their blended learning worthwhile.
Hence, the value of tech in learning affects many students. Parents’ and guardians’ top
concerns with this are:
Money for mobile load
Lack of gadget
Poor internet signal
Students’ struggle to focus and learn online
Parents’ lack of knowledge of their kids’ lessons

It’s key to note that equipped schools have more chances to use various ways to deal with the
new concerns for remote learning. This further shows the contrasts in resources and training
for both K-12 and tertiary level both for private and public schools.

Quality – The results of the 2014 National Achievement Test (NAT) and the
National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) show that there had been a
drop in the status of primary and secondary education.
Budget – The country remains to have one of the lowest budget allotments to
learning among ASEAN countries.
Cost – There still is a big contrast in learning efforts across various social
groups due to the issue of money—having education as a status symbol.
OSY – The growing rate of OSY becomes daunting due to the adverse effects
of COVID-19.
Mismatch – There is a large sum of people who are jobless or underpaid due
to a large mismatch between training and actual jobs.
Social divide – There is no fair learning access in the country.
Lack of resources – Large-scale shortfalls in classrooms, teachers, and other
tools to sustain sound learning also make up a big issue.
All these add to the big picture of the current system’s growing concerns. Being informed with
these is a great first step to know where we can come in and help in our own ways. Before we
talk about how you can take part in various efforts to help address these issues, let’s first talk
about what quality education is and how we can achieve it.

Students must not take learning for granted. In times of crises and sudden changes, having
access to education should be valued. Aside from the fact that it is a main human right, it also
impacts the other human rights that we have. Besides, the UN says that when learning
systems break, having a sustained state will be far from happening.
Continuous learning – Since the future of a state lies on how good the learning
system is, the country’s vision for the youth is to adopt new learning paths
despite the ongoing threat of COVID-19.
Action plans – These include boosting the use of special funds to help schools
make modules, worksheets, and study guides approved by the DepEd. Also,
