First Aid Education and Health Awareness (Seminar)

There are important things for us to know and learn but we may not always have the opportunity to do
so. One of those things is having first aid skills. What will you do when there’s an emergency
happening? What do you do before approaching them? Is it safe? When do you call for help? We had
the chance to learn some of these things at the seminar. Where we learned the importance of having
the skills and knowing the basics of first aid. So if there’s an event of an emergency, you’ll have the
knowledge and confidence to deliver potentially life-saving assistance. First aid is the help needed by
wounded or injured person until they are fully healed. In case of cardiac arrests, or causes for a person
to stop breathing a basic life support or BLS is needed, it generally refers to the type of care that first-
responders, healthcare providers and public safety professionals provide to anyone who is
experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory distress or an obstructed airway. All these techniques are
focused on helping patients or sustain life until more precise medical treatment can begin. When you
understand first aid, you'll gain the ability to help those in need. All of us can have a role in doing first
aid, all of us can save lives.

The Social Menace of Drug Addiction


Drugs can be used to relieve physical or mental symptoms, to replace a deficient natural substance or
to stop the excessive production of a hormone or other body chemical. The target markets of drug
dealings are the slums, where they sell it to teenagers and other drug users. The availability of drugs
here in the Philippines encourages them to take illicit drugs. Drug addiction is a common problem here
in our country. Most of the users use it to be free from the stress they’re handling, street children who
regularly breathe in addictive inhalants like rugby to stave off hunger or those poor tricycle drivers and
jeepney drivers mostly truck drivers sniff “shabu” to stay awake throughout the night to be able to earn
more money. Drug addiction refers to the behavioral condition where an individual’s need to obtain and
use drugs becomes a strong fixation. Addiction to drugs may cause behavioral impairment. It can
change how a person thinks, how you can lose self-control and can lead you to damaging behaviors.
The most common drug/s used here in our country is Methamphetamine Hydrochloride or “shabu”,
marijuana, inhalants, ecstasy and other drugs. The said drugs are one of the causes of death in our
country, users of these drugs most likely when high became behaviorally impaired causing them to
strike everyone they see, cause accidents or do inhumane things to other people. Addiction is a chronic
disease; people can’t simply stop using drugs for a few days and be cured. It has a step-by-step process
to stop using completely and recover their lives successfully.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (Seminar)


Disaster is a serious disruption of the functioning of society, causing widespread human, material or
environmental losses, which exceed the ability of the affected communities to cope using their own
resources. The types of disasters are: Tsunami, Tropical Cyclone, Flood, Earthquake, Landslide, Fire
etc. It is important to address the disasters here in our country for us to have a warning and for us to
know how and what to do if a disaster occurs. This is a serious matter. Without proper planning, more
and more Filipinos would suffer from the harsh disasters in our country. There is no best time to address
this issue. As soon as possible, addressing of this issue must be made. Both the local government and
people in community should be involved in disaster risk reduction management because without the
help of one, nothing will be planned and instead of prevention of disasters, risk will be increased. Since
the best way to fight against disaster is our preparedness. All us should be involved in addressing these
issues because we all need to be equipped since disaster will choose no one if it will ravage our society.

Volunteerism and Social Responsibility

It enriches our society, brings us together as a community, and helps keep businesses and other
organizations afloat. Not only is volunteering important because it helps to better your community, it
also helps to better you as an individual. It gives you the confidence to be the best you can be. By
volunteering you can also share positivity with the people around you. It is a free way to feel good about
yourself. Giving to others also help protect your mental health. It decreases the risk of depression
because of the interaction you make with other people making you feel new again every time you
encounter a new person you just met. The value of volunteering is much deeper, much more fulfilling
and much more important in contributing to a healthy and vibrant community than money can ever
measure. People volunteer for an endless variety of reasons. Many people want to gain experience,
acquire new skills, meet new people or expand their network of contacts as a way to get a new job or
start a career. Others just want to give back to their community, help a friend or promote a worthwhile
activity. They do it because it makes them feel good. In the end, we cannot and should not put a
monetary value on volunteering. How can we put a monetary value on ordinary people doing
extraordinary things? The value of volunteerism is priceless!

SUMMARY OF THE FOUR (4) TOPICS:


The National Service Training Program aims to develop civic consciousness and national defense
preparedness among the Filipino youth particularly those that enhance their total well-being as agents
towards the pursuit of national development. The part “Preparedness among Filipino youth” can be
highlighted in relation to the first topic, we as Filipino youths of today must be knowledge in doing first
aids and basic life support. We’ll never know if there will be an emergency. The objective of doing the
first aid is that we are always prepared. We know what we will do or respond if there’s an emergency,
we know the safety measures whenever doing the first aid and basic life support the most important
here is the prevention of injury/death wherever you are, you can save lives one by one. In relation to
the 2nd topic The Social Menace of Drug Addiction, most of us wants to relieve stress but by relieving
stress to different things that cannot affect your behavior or how the way you think. The second topic
focuses on drug abuse and drug addiction. Most Filipino youth are most likely to use and abuse drugs
for their satisfaction or due to stress either financially or from the family. We cannot blame other people
from using drugs, some of them use it to prevent hunger, some of them use it to be active and earn
money. But it is not an excuse for you to use drugs. You can prevent it. If you can help yourself, you
are the only one who can fix it because you have the choice if you want a new life or you drown and
live your life wrong. We have alternatives for reducing stress and preventing depression. For the 3 rd
topic, disasters may be address immediately for us to prevent great risks and save lives. It is also
important for us to know what we will do and be prepared for any types of disaster may occur. Because
we’ll never know when a disaster will occur. Last topic is about volunteerism, we as Filipino youths
must have the act of volunteering, because helping without a condition makes you feel a different
feeling. It reduces stress and decreases depression because of the interaction with the people you are
with. One of my favorite benefits of volunteering is the increase of confidence level. I am a shy person
but by volunteering I make new friends, new connections and new life. It is a pleasure for me to have
this program because it really teaches me the importance of being active not just socially but physically
and emotionally.
