*TAYTAYAN SA TABANG* (Arangkada of Leo Lastimosa, DYAB)

UP Grounds, Lahug, Cebu City—Samtang nagsuwat ko ini, nanghipos nang
among kaubanan sa mga tolda, lamesa ug lingkoranan nga gigamit sa tibuok
adlaw nga piyesta sa pangalagad, ang Grand Halad sa Kapamilya. Naglingiting
ang kainit sukad sa buntag hangtod sa hapon, gibalda lang sa daklit nga
paglandong ug pagtaligsik. Ang nagbawud-bawod nga kaliboan ka Sugbuanon wa
hinuon magpabalda sa kahimtang sa panahon sa ilang determinadong pagtultol
sa mga pangalagad nga gitanyag sa mga ahensiya sa kagamhanan ug sa pribadong
mga institusyon.

Labing nagbuntaog gikan sa akong nahimutangan ang E-Mobile van sa

among gilista ang tanang naalagaran, may pipila nila nga nakapahimus sa
daghang mga serbisyo, samtang ang uban, nga di sama kamapailubon, igo lang
nilibot ug namauli nga wa malista.

PHILIPPINE MANGROVE LOSS

2008-02-01T07:14:00.000-08:00

By Sergio A. Pontillas

In a region that leads the world in terms of mangrove forest cover, the Philippines now ranks last in Southeast Asia, according to a ranking official of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

“It’s a pity that up to now, (our mangrove management program) consists only of planting trees,” Dr. Palis lamented.

Mangroves have been traditionally used for timber, firewood, medicine, food, and municipal fisheries. Other uses of mangroves are for settlements and salt production.

The December 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean has proven that mangroves also serve as shoreline protection against destructive ocean waves, Palis said.

In recent years, mangrove forests have been cleared for the shrimp mariculture industry, which has an estimated annual farm gate value of nine billion dollars, he noted.

Since the 1970s, shrimp production from Asia has been steadily increasing from 26 million tons to 100,000 million tons in the 1980s, reaching a peak of 700,000 million tons in 1995, a DENR report said.

Alongside this increase in economic resource utilization is the steady loss of mangrove forests, estimated at a rate of 4,572 hectares per year. According to Palis, mangrove deforestation in the Philippines is 80 to 90 per cent, which is higher than the Asian deforestation rate of 60 to 70 per cent.

Other causes of mangrove loss, aside from aquaculture, are timber and charcoal production, human settlement, salt pond construction, industrialization, and pollution.

Across the country, the rapid decimation of mangroves due to fishpond conversion by virtue of the old Fisheries Code (PD 704) started in the 1970s during the Marcos Era.

Loan incentives provided by the Central Bank and Development Bank of the Philippines also contributed to the large-scale conversion of mangrove forests into fishponds, Palis said.

During the term of President Corazon Aquino from 1986 to 1992, numerous declarations were made for the protection of foreshore areas, and fishpond lease holders were required to plant mangroves.

The late 1980s also saw the widening of mangrove buffer zones, but contrary to the policy of mangrove forest protection, fishpond areas inside forestlands increased from 1,016 hectares in 1982 to 75,548 hectares in 1990.

A new trend in management policy was introduced during the financial crisis of the 1990s, when new regulatory mechanisms, access limitations and conversion initiatives in coastal management were strengthened.

Participation of civil society groups and local government units was seen as a vital component of mangrove forest protection.

HELPING SOLVE THE SOLID WASTE PROBLEM

2008-01-20T08:30:00.000-08:00

How can we help solve the solid waste problem?

There are many ways to do it. A highly recommended formula is to adopt the 3Rs of Ecological Waste Management: REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE.

In addition to that, let us refrain from doing what have been prohibited under the law, to include but are not limited to the following:

a. Littering, throwing, dumping of waste materials in public places like roads, sidewalks, canals, esteros, parks and establishments;
b. Open burning of solid waste;
c. Allowing the collection of non-segregated or unsorted waste;
d. Squatting in open dumps and landfills;
e. Open dumping or burying of biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials in flood-prone areas;
f. Unauthorized removal of recyclable material intended for collection by authorized persons;
g. Mixing of source-separated recyclable material with other solid waste in any vehicle, box, container or receptacle used in solid waste collection or disposal;
h. Manufacture, distribution or use of non-environmentally acceptable packaging materials;
i. Establishment or operation of open dumps; and
j. Importation of consumer products packaged in non-environmentally acceptable materials.

PET BOTTLES RECYCLING as SWM

2008-01-15T08:26:00.000-08:00

UC Nursing CESDEV is putting into action what was espoused during the series of Solid Waste management seminars. In a tie-up with San Miguel Corporation (SMC), PET bottles were collected by student nurses and are submitted to CESDEV office. This is intended to make the campus clean and at the same time, deliver these PET bottles to SMC which has the recycling capabilities.

SMC is setting up a P6.7-billion recycling project to produce environment-friendly packaging materials for the local food and beverage industries using PET or polyethylene terephthalate. PET is that soft plastic or polymer popularly used for containers of mineral water, and various food and household items. It is the preferred packaging because of its light weight, clarity, and shatter resistance. It also ranks as the most recyclable packaging material in the world today.

The main processing plant being constructed in San Fernando, Pampanga, is nearing completion. It will have conversion operations in Batangas, Cebu, Misamis Oriental, Davao, and Pampanga. The plant is scheduled to operate commercially in May 2004. PET is already being recycled abroad into second-generation products, such as T-shirts, windbreakers, sleeping bags, carpets and athletic shoes, among other things.

Collection of PET bottles is an ongoing nationwide campaign with the support of existing bottle collectors and SMC’s subsidiary, Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc., on the crest of its successful “Mission P.E.T.” project launched in 2000.

The first of its kind in Asia, SMC’s PET recycling plant will open doors of opportunity in the community through direct employment and contracting services in line with the Corporation’s economic and environmental thrusts.

PET RECYCLING PROJECT OF SMC with CESDEV

2008-01-15T08:20:00.000-08:00

Over 700 million PET bottles are used in the Philippines annually. This number is expected to grow due to the increasing consumer preference for convenient and easy-to-handle packaging. As these bottles are designed for single use, most find their way to the landfill, canal, estero, river, lake, ocean or any place where garbage finds its final resting place.

As a leading manufacturer of beverages using PET bottles as containers, San Miguel launched its PET Recycling Project, the first Bottle-to-Bottle Recycling Project in the Asia that transforms the postconsumer PET bottles back into its original form—with specifications at par with the virgin material, thereby reducing dependence on imported materials. The Mag-ligPET Para sa Kalikasan program is a massive awareness building campaign on the benefits of recycling. The program will collect some eight million bottles for recycling in the first 12 months, eventually increasing this to 120 million bottles on the 10th year. SMC’s PET recycling project has gone a long way since its February 2004 launch. After the pilot training in the Makati Division of Schools, a memorandum of agreement paved the way for a series of information campaigns and workshops for students and school heads of the various public schools in Metro Manila, Pampanga, Iloilo, Cebu, and Davao. The program encourages students to collect PET bottles in exchange for facilities or equipment as reward. As of March 2006, the foundation partnered with 1,025 schools nationwide. University of Cebu is one of the partner schools of SMC in this program and through the efforts of UC Nursing CESDEV, the partnership proved to be very fruitful.

IMCI PRIMER

2008-01-03T07:11:00.001-08:00

UC Nursing C ESDEV is posting a primer on IMCI for the benefit of 3rd year nursing students whose lesson focuses on this important topic. The slideshow that followed is a lobor of love of Mrs. Jocelyn Lim for the student nurses who may benefit from this.

Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) is a strategy formulated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), presented in 1996 as the principal strategy to improve child health. It focuses on the care of children under five, not only in terms of their overall health status but also on the diseases that may occasionally affect them. Thus, it reduces missed opportunities for early detection and treatment of diseases that can escape the notice of both parents and health workers, with the consequent risk of the illness becoming worse and complications arising. In addition, IMCI incorporates a strong component of prevention and health promotion as an integral part of care. Thus, among other benefits, it helps increase vaccination coverage and improve knowledge and home-care practices for children under five, subsequently contributing to growth and healthy development.
IMCI implementation involves the participation of the community, the health-service sector and the family. This is carried out in three ways:
Improving the performance of health workers for in the prevention and treatment of childhood diseases.
Improving the organization and operation of health services so they provide quality care.
Improving family and community care practices.
IMCI is a strategy that integrates all available measures for disease prevention and health problems during childhood, for their early detection and effective treatment, and for promoting healthy habits within the family and community.
IMCI can be applied by both health workers and other people responsible for the care of boys and girls under five years of age, i.e. their parents and those who care for them.
IMCI offers the knowledge and abilities to sequentially evaluate and integrate the status of child health and, in this way, detect the diseases or problems frequently affecting it according to the epidemiological patterns of the respective location. Based on this evaluation, IMCI gives clear instructions on disease classification and problems, establishing the treatment that should be administered for each one. The strategy also provides instructions on how to control the progress of treatment, in order to identify the need for applying prevention measures as well as how to inform and educate parents on disease prevention and child health promotion.
On this basis, IMCI is currently regarded as the most efficient strategy for reducing the burden of disease and disability among the population in this age group. It main goal is to contribute to healthy growth and development during the first five years of life.

I write this exam with Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

SELFLESSNESS

2007-10-25T18:23:00.000-07:00

Nice story. READ and appreciate the value of selflessness.
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save Liz."
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood.

ABSENTEES' MEETING

2007-10-20T13:19:00.000-07:00

OCTOBER 29, HOLIDAY!

2007-10-20T13:11:00.000-07:00

29 October 2007, Monday (Barangay and SK elections), is special non-working holiday. That goes for both the public and private sectors. In other words, Saturday to Monday (27 - 29 October 2007) is a long weekend.

LET'S PRAY FOR PEACE

2007-10-20T12:43:00.000-07:00

On October 19, an explosion occurred inside Glorietta 2. Eight people were confirmed to have died via shrapnel wounds and at least 126 others were injured. The explosion was first reported to be due to an accidentally ignited LPG tank from Luk Yuen Noodle House. However due to the extensive damage caused by the explosion, the Philippine National Police ruled out the scenario and consider the cause as a bomb.

As of 7:30 PM (UTC +8), the blast has reportedly claimed at least nine fatalities and more than 100 were injured. Many of the victims were rushed on to the Makati Medical Center and the Ospital ng Maynila.

Let us be vigilant and pray for the repose of the souls of those who died, courage for the casualties, and safety for our friends and loved ones.

PRAYER FOR FINAL EXAMINATIONS

2007-10-09T13:33:00.000-07:00

Dearest student nurses, as you hurdle your Final Examinations starting tomorrow, may you be enlightened by this prayer so that you will be more than prepared to take this last test for this term.
God, my Father, I ask your blessing as I prepare for this exam. Help me to have confidence in the gifts you have given, and in the study I have done. Through your Holy Spirit, calm my nerves and ease my anxiety, so that I may more freely respond to the questions asked. Through these tests, may I grow in awareness of what you are asking me to do with my life; Help me to respond with courage, love and lasting dedication to your will. May Our Lady; Mary, the mother of Jesus bless me. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

The Community Extension Services and Development (CESDEV) of the College of Nursing of UC Banilad received international volunteers who wished to know more about UC Nursing CESDEV.

These foreigners were on the Volunteer Program Development and Management on Social Leadership Development course in the South East Asia Rural Social Leadership Institute (SEARSOLIN).

Their tasks during the visit were (1) to understand the different aspects and features of volunteering and define for their respective organization their own rationale and goal for a volunteer program (2) identify priority-focus, workable structure, systems, policies and practical mechanism to aid in operating the program and (3) to design and present a development action for running a Volunteer Program (mini-thesis).

UC NURSING CESDEV JOINED the WORLD CLEAN-UP DAY!

2007-09-24T09:17:00.000-07:00

CLEAN-UP THE WORLD

2007-09-24T07:48:00.000-07:00

Clean Up the World is a community based environmental program that inspires and empowers individuals and communities from every corner of the globe to clean up, fix up and conserve their environment. Now in its 15th year, Clean Up the World, held in conjunction with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), mobilises over 35 million volunteers from more than 120 countries annually, making it one of the largest community-based environmental campaigns in the world.

The campaign brings together businesses, community groups, schools, governments and individuals in a range of activities and programs that positively improve local environments.
Since the first Clean Up the World campaign in 1993 the improvements achieved due to the efforts of millions of concerned volunteers around the world have been astounding.

The Community Extension Services and Development of the College of Nursing of UC Banilad joined by planting mangroove trees in the coastlines of Barangay Cotcot, Lilo-an, Cebu, Philippines last September 15, 2007.

A MILLION MANGROVES

2007-09-24T07:42:00.000-07:00

The nursing student volunteers of the Community Extension Services and Development (CESDEV) joined the Rotary Club of Cebi in planting mangroves in the coastlines of Barangay Cotcot, Lilo-an, Cebu. This activity was conducted in line with the international declaration of September 15, 2007 as World Clean-up Day.

SEMINAR EVALUATION

2007-09-21T09:55:00.000-07:00

Participants of the CESDEV Volunteers Training evaluated the modules, the speakers, the venue, physical arrangement, food and snacks and other pertinent subjects of the training. This is geared towards achieveing a better training in the future.

MODULE 7: Team Building

2007-09-21T08:46:00.000-07:00

Teamwork is the heart and soul of the organization. Groups are comprised of individuals; and individual drive, skills and motivation are essential to the success of the group. UC Nursing CESDEV embarked on a Team Building activity because it cannot be denied that it's the spirit of teamwork that breathes life and creativity into the organization.

”A team is more than a collection of people. It is a process of give and take.”- Barbara Glacel & Emile Robert Jr.

”The basic building block of good teambuilding is for a leaer to promote the feeling that every human being is unique and adds value.”- Unknown

”When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.”- Joe Paterno

”T.E.A.M = Together everyone achieves more.”

”It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.”

”Teamwork divides the task and double the success.”

”Teamplayer: Once who unites others toward a shared destiny through sharing information and ideas, empowering others and developing trust.”- Dennis Kinlaw

”We are most effect as a team when we compliment each other without embarrassment and disagree without fear.”

”A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skill of the others.”- Norman SHidle

”If we did all the things we were capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.”- Thomas Edison

”Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

”Teamwork: Simply stated, it is less me and more we.”

”The ratio of We’s to I’s is the best indicator of the development of a team.”- Lewis B. Ergen

”Coming together is a beginning.Keeping together is progress.Working together is success.”- Henry Ford

MODULE 6: Values Formation

2007-09-21T08:44:00.000-07:00

The volunteers also had an activity on Values Formation. They were given scenarios and different situations and were asked to react on them. The volunteers acted out their roles and had substantial engagements.

This activity helped clarify the values of the volunteers. They realized that each would hold dearly to what he believed is most important to him.

Similarly, they opened their thoughts to the reality that the members of the volunteer group may differ in terms of what they consider as most important to them.

Values may differ, but each must respect each others choice.

MODULE 5: Conflict Management

2007-09-21T08:43:00.000-07:00

In any organization, there may be instances where conflicts arise. This is but natural. Considering the various personalities that comprise the group, clashes may sometimes happen. To be able to handle these instances when they happen, volunteers had their training on Conflict Management.

The module on Conflict Management was excellently handled by Mr. Joseph Lavina, a seasoned trainor and a psychologist.

WE LOVE VOLUNTEERING!

2007-09-21T08:42:00.000-07:00

MODULE 4: Volunteerism

2007-09-21T07:28:00.000-07:00

The second day of the Volunteers Training started with the module on Volunteerism. Ma'am Ethel Maamo, a VSO volunteer imparted to the listening audience how to keep the spirit of volunteerism alive.

She also focused on the highs and lows of being a volunteer especially when one is assigned in another country. She shared with the audience her colorful experience as a volunteer in Vanuatu.

Ms Ethel Maamo included in her presentation the characteristics of a good volunteer which she hopes will be cultivated by the UC Nursing CESDEV volunteers.

The session was never lull because they also moved about to the dance steps initiated by Ms Maamo.

Ma'am Ethel Maamo proudly showed the Certificate of Appreciation presented by Ms. Jade Lyra Galdo.

Atty. Bong, also a VSO volunteer shared his experience as a volunteer assigned in Papua New Guinea. His work as a volunteer was very remarkable that he was given government recognition for it.

Atty. Bong who is now back to his native town in Palompon, Leyte and is currently serving in their municipal council as a Councilor, gladly accepted from Ms. Jade Lyra Galdo the token of appreciation for sharing valuable thoughts on Volunteerism.

CESDEV VOLUNTEERS TRAINING (Day 2)

2007-09-21T07:01:00.000-07:00

The day started early for the UC Nursing CESDEV volunteers. The bus transported the volunteers back to Tabor Hills for the continuation of the Volunteers Training.

Above, the senior volunteers were similarly enthusistic about the day's activity. They hope that with this activity, the new set of volunteers will continue what they have started.

The registration was ably facilitated by the senior volunteers. It was also their way of getting to know more and become familiar with the "babies" of the volunteer group.

THE NEW WITH THE SENIOR VOLUNTEERS

2007-09-20T09:29:00.000-07:00

The new volunteers along with the senior UC Nursing CESDEV volunteers flahed their sweet smiles for the camera with Ms Jade Lyra Galdo, the External Affairs Coordinator of UC Nursing CESDEV.

The volunteers displayed their dancing skills during the intermission. UC Nursing CESDEV is very glad for it does not only have active but talented volunteers as well.

MODULE 3: Effective Communication

2007-09-20T07:42:00.000-07:00

Acknowledging that effective communication is necessary in order to make the organization run smoothly, the volunteers were also trained on Effective Communication. This was basically the topic discussed in the second module.

Effective communication also provides smooth interpersonal relationship among the volunteers and to the people they are relating to.

The group of volunteers were given an activity showing the dynamics of communication.

The participants listened intently to the discussion knowing that listening is also essential in effective communication.

MODULE 2: Self-Awareness

2007-09-20T07:41:00.002-07:00

Self-awareness is the first step in the creation process. As you grow in self awareness, you will better understand why you feel what you feel and why you behave as you behave. That understanding then gives you the opportunity and freedom to change those things you’d like to change about yourself and create the life you want. Without fully knowing who you are, self acceptance and change become impossible.

Having clarity about who you are and what you want (and why you want it), empowers you to consciously and actively make those wants a reality. Otherwise, you’ll continue to get “caught up” in your own internal dramas and unknown beliefs, allowing unknown thought processes to determine your feelings and actions.

MODULE 1: Strategies and Programs of CESDEV

2007-09-20T07:41:00.001-07:00

The first module of the training was a revisit on the Strategies and Programs of UC Nursing CESDEV. This was ably presented by Mrs. Jocelyn Antiporta-Lim who started the community extension services of the College of Nursing of UC Banilad.

The programs of UC Nursing CESDEV were an offshoot of the groundwork done during the preliminary investigation that was conducted during the conception of UC Nursing CESDEV.

The programs and activities were carefully planned in order to make significant contribution to its adopted community.

Mrs. Lim stressed that the programs and activities of UC Nursing CESDEV must revolve around its Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives.

Token of appreciation was given by Mr. Francis Kho, UC Nursing CESDEV Immediate Past President and Ms. Hazel Bondaco to Mrs. Lim for sharing valuable insights on the strategies and programs of CESDEV.

CESDEV VOLUNTEERS TRAINING (Day 1)

2007-09-20T07:30:00.000-07:00

The volunteers of the Community Extension Services and Development (CESDEV) of the College of Nursing of UC Banilad had their training last September 6 and 7, 2007 at the Order of Saint Augustine Formation Center in Tabor Hills. This training is geared towards firming up the capabilities of the new volunteers.

The new volunteers were eagerly waiting for their bus ride to tabor Hills for the training.

Mrs. Jocelyn Antiporta-Lim, the Overall CESDEV Coordinator, facilitated the "getting-to-know-you" activity of the volunteers.

Getting acquainted with each other was easily achieved showing the cohesive nature and personalities of the new volunteers.

The volunteers then laid down their expectations on the training.

They posted these expectations creatively on the wall.

The vibrant colors of the flowers and the leaves of this "wall of expectations" kept the training surging forward.

The participants also checked their "moods" for the day and posted them likewise on the wall. Obviously, there were more reasons to smile about with the smiling faces.

UC Nursing CESDEV President Hazel Bondaco presented the general and specific objectives for the training as well as some house rules to keep the training in order.
