from Mindanao Daily News (May 11, 2023)

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

By Jan Albert K. Araña

MISAMIS ORIENTAL (PIA)--The Department of Health (DOH)-10 aims to further increase the immunization status of children in Northern Mindanao with the conduct of a month-long immunization campaign against measles, rubella, and polio this May.

According to the health department, immunization coverage for children aged 0–59 months had lowered during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a pool of populations that are susceptible to measles infection. It was also noted that this year, an increase in suspected case of measles was recorded.

"Nakita namo nga adunay 18% increase sa suspected cases of measles sa rehiyon karon (We have seen that there is an 18% increase in suspected cases of measles in the region today)," DOH-10 Local Health Support Division Chief David Mendoza said.

DOH-10 Local Health Support Division Chief, Dr. David Mendoza, says there is an increase of 18% in suspected measles cases in the region. He further urges parents and guardians to allow their children aged 0–59 months to be immunized against measles, rubella, and polio. (GKND/PIA-10)

Meanwhile, DPWH Region III Assistant Director Denise Maria Ayag thanked the representatives from various DPWH and DepEd offices in Northern and Central Luzon for participating in the meeting aimed at addressing issues related to educational infrastructure.

Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte, in her Basic Education Report 2023, said the lack of school infrastructure and resources remains one of the biggest challenges the basic education sector faces.

In response to this, she launched the MATATAG Agenda which includes the establishment of the School Infrastructure and Facilities strand, headed by Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III, entirely devoted to addressing long-standing issues on education facilities and infrastructure.

“Together, let us work harder to build more schools and classrooms for our Filipino children and youth so they can learn, develop, and realize their full potential,” she earlier said in a statement. (PNA)

Lucero added that the decision to ban these chemicals is essential to redirect the economy onto a non-toxic circular path and ensure environmental health and justice across the globe.

from page 9 nization activity they are conducting against measles, rubella, and polio can help beef up the immunization coverage of the region and prevent a possible outbreak of such vaccine-preventable diseases.

Mendoza added that to strengthen the immunization campaign, fixed sites, and house-to-house initiatives are done throughout the region to make sure that all eligible individuals will be vaccinated and no children will be left behind.

In the vaccination sites, regardless of the vaccination status, oral polio immunization is available for children aged 0–59 months, while measles-rubella immunization can be availed of by children aged 9–59 months.

As the government extends its efforts to protect the children, the health department admits that their efforts together with the various agencies and local government units are futile without the support and participation of the public, especially the parents and guardians, and that to combat the possible spread or outbreak of measles, rubella, and polio, it will take a whole-of-society

But getting the harvest of the program, it becomes a regular component of DepEd because statistics tell us that there are a lot of students who cannot pursue their studies the usual way because our students in the Alternative Learning System are those in unique circumstances," the director said.

He added that these individuals could not go to school every day because many of them are married and working students. So, it’s really a challenge going to school every day.

He said the network has 40 reporters in its roster at present from 70 before it was shut down in 2020 with the non-renewal of its 25-year franchise during the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

“We still manage to carry on. We have to continue the fight and we have to cover the news because again we are ‘professional Marites.’ We can offer you accurate stories and we are also, at the same time, accountable to our stories,” he said.

MDN: May 11, 2023 not just about being “truth bearers or truth tellers but, at the same time, we talk about the underreported.”

“The life of a journalist is only as good as the public supports it,” he said.

Antonio S. Peralta, executive director of the European Chamber of Commerce of the PhilippinesSouthern Mindanao, said that press freedom is a fundamental right enshrined in almost all international instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and UN Conventions on Civil and Political Rights.

Peralta, interim chair of the Davao City Media Citizen’s Council, said that as the world celebrates “free press as one of the assets of democratic courtiers like the Philippines, it is incumbent on us to tackle issues surrounding and come up with workable solutions.”

“While media is an effective tool for communicating and sharing useful information to the public, promoting good governance and influencing public opinion, it can also be a destructive machinery that can divide the country instead of uniting it,” he said.

He added that if media “is not properly utilized then, it’s a like a doubleedged sword.”

“In this golden digital era, we witnessed how a single disinformation can create a buzz in all social media platforms, the ails of this modern time such as misinformation and disinformation and the spread of fake news, are widely prevalent in all levels and ages of society challenging and destabilizing of status quo,” he added.

He said Mindanao, for instance, has not been spared from the negative effects of “distorted inaccurate and out of touch, and unrealistic stories about the safety and security situation in the island region.

The lawmaker explained that his bill will complement RA 11036 to address the bottlenecks and identify the agency which will implement the mental health and wellness programs in schools.

“We all know that we have 60,000 schools nationwide but we only have 1,500 registered guidance counselors in our country. So, obviously there is a massive shortage in terms of the personalities who implement mental health programs in our schools,” Gatchalian said.

Stigma

During the hearing, Go and Gatchalian stressed the importance of addressing mental health like other health concerns.

Sadly, Go said many still fail to recognize the signs and symptoms, especially among the youth.

He also cited the Department of Education report that 404 learners from public schools committed suicide and 2,147 learners attempted to take their own lives in 2021.

Gatchalian noted that mental health is “not well understood” by ordinary people who sometimes think sleeping or eating will take their problems away.

“It’s actually deeper than that,” he said. “We have to admit that mental health is severe condition in our country not only for those who can afford medical treatments but also for our less fortunate constituents who need government intervention in order to deliver assistance to them.”

Implementation

The 2023 national budget approved PHP1.86 billion for mental health medicines and PHP12 million for mental health awareness campaign and establishment of a hotline under the Department of Health (DOH).

It includes a special provision for the improvement of benefit packages of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, including mental care.

“It is therefore my continuing call for stronger government interventions particularly on the provision of psychosocial services,” he said.

Dr. Razel Nikka Hao, DOH Disease Prevention and Control Bureau director, reported to the committee that since RA 11036 was passed, 62 of their personnel were trained on Basic Institutional Review Board (IRB); 51 as future trainers for IRB; 1,556 completed the World Health Organization Quality Rights e-training; 28 with Lived Experiences completed the course on mental health advocacy and leadership (pilot implementation); and over about 40 media practitioners were trained on responsible

from page 3

Raymundo Anastacio, a farmer from Barangay Bunsuran III, Pandi town in Bulacan, said farming used to be an unprofitable livelihood prior to the RCEF Seed Program because farm inputs including seeds are expensive.

But with the provision of free certified inbred seeds, he said farmers can now save a lot, which motivates them to plant anew.

Jointly funded by the RCEF Seed Program and the DA’s National Rice Program (NRP) with PHP3 billion and PHP700,000, respectively, the certified inbred rice seed distribution is intended to complement and supplement the hybrid rice production strategy of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. under his food security agenda.

The RCEF Seed Program is a component of Republic Act 11203 or the Rice Tariffication Law, which allocates PHP3 billion in funds every year to develop, propagate and promote high-quality inbred rice seeds to help improve the competitiveness of Filipino rice farmers. (PNA)
