Background
Module 1: Traditional Composers
According to National Artist Dr. Ramon Santos, “contemporary music in the Philippines refers to compositions that have adopted ideas and
elements from 20th century art music in the west, as well as the latest trends and musical styles in the entertainment industry.”
The modern Filipino repertoire consists of musical pieces that have been written in 20th century idioms that have evolved out of such
stylistic movements as impressionism, expressionism, neo-classicism, as well as avant garde and new music.
New genres of music representing these modern idioms include Dr. Ramon Santos’ K’lintang and Abot Tanaw for Piano, Du’a for Orchestra,
and Ding Ding Nga Diyawa for Chorus and Philippine Instruments, Josefino “Chino” Toledo’s Hoy! Bata for Soprano and Orchestra, Hoy! for
Percussion and Wind instruments, and Alitaptap for Chorus and Percussion, and Jonas Baes’ Patangis Buwaya for Wind Instruments, Tatlong
Tagulaylay for Voice and Chamber Ensemble, and the incidental music Aguyoy for varied instruments.
Among the major Philippine contemporary composers are Francisco Santiago, Nicanor Abelardo, Antonio Molina, Lucio San Pedro,
Rosendo Santos Jr., Alfredo Buenaventura, and Ryan Cayabyab.

FRANCISCO SANTIAGO
 He is considered as the “Father of Kundiman”
 He finished his music specialization at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago where he obtained his Doctorate Degree in 1924.
Among his famous works are the following:
 Pakiusap Madaling Araw
 Sakali Man Pilipinas Kong Mahal
 Hibik ng Pilipinas Ano Kaya ang Kapalaran, and
 Kundiman (Anak Dalita). This piece was sung before the Royal Court of Spain upon the request of King Alfonso II.

He was also a musical director for films. Among the films under his musical supervision were “Kundiman”, “Leron Leron Sinta”, “Madaling Araw”,
“Manileña”, and the movie inspired by his own composition, “Pakiusap”. He became the first Filipino Director of the UP Conservatory of Music.

NICANOR ABELARDO
 He studied music at the Chicago Music College and was influenced by the musical styles of the Serialist/Second Viennese School and
Post-Romantic European composers.
 Abelardo, together with Francisco Santiago elevated the status of the Kundiman into an Art Song status equivalent to that of the German
Lied, the French Chanson, and the Italian Aria.
His best-known compositions include the following:
 Mutya ng Pasig Nasaan Ka Irog Bituing Marikit
 Ikaw Rin Kundiman ng Luha
Pahimakas

Molina wrote several compositions for piano, violin, and voice as well as a Spanish-style opera form known as the zarzuela.
He is best known for his poignantly romantic serenade for violin and piano “Hatinggabi”. Subsequent transcriptions of this piece were written for
the cello, flute, piano, and guitar. Other works by Molina include:

Duyan” together with his friend Levi Celerio as the lyricist.

Introduction

In this lesson, you will be exploring the different media-based arts in the Philippines. You and I will work together in order to understand the
different concepts and terminologies regarding media-based arts and designs.

Distinct Characteristics of Philippine Media-Based Arts

Philippine Media-Based Arts: Photography
Photography is one of the most enjoyed hobbies of every Filipino. This is evident in the millions of photos that are posted in the different
social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. In this field, some gifted Filipino photographers are known because of their
remarkable shots, such
as Mr. George Tapan.
Though there are many other travel photographers who outstrip his travel log, his awards speak for the quality of his work. George has
won two Pacific Asia Tourism Association (PATA) Gold awards, an ASEAN Tourism Association award and the first place in the 2011 National
Geographic Photo Contest. He worked for the Department of Tourism and Philippine Airlines and has published 5 travel photography books.
George was not always a travel photographer. He started out as a photographer for movie posters, shooting stills for 60s movies like Asiong
Salonga. His subjects were Joseph Estrada, Fernando Poe Jr and Dolphy.
After being Erap’s campaign photographer when he ran for San Juan mayor, George did some photo shoots for advertising, sports and fashion
until he found his love for travel photography at the age of 24. He recalls that his first ever assignment as a travel photographer was Isla Verde,
an island between Batangas and Puerto Galera.
One of his travel photo shoots is the Vigan City Cathedral where Kalesas on parade pass by the Saint Paul Cathedral in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur
on April 28, 2019 which was the second day of Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival of the Arts.
Characteristics of Philippine Photography
Great photography does not have to consist of one characteristic. It is a mixture of many characteristics to come up with great images. These
characteristics are the following:
1. Interesting Foreground- it is the portion of the frame that is closest to the camera. The foreground space in an image can be utilized to draw
attention to a subject located further into the frame, for example with leading lines, or it can be used to frame the subject.
2. Sharpness- a sharp photograph shows intent and skill. There are times that some parts of an image are blurry or vague but can be
enhanced with the use of neutral density filters.
3. Interesting perspective- sometimes all photographs need to be interesting. In order to do this. There should be a change of perspective. A
shot taken from a few inches from the ground or under the subject, something which is not usually seen can produce great images.
4. Good lighting- not under or over exposed is too obvious. A photographer knows how to really work with light which can help create some
truly stunning images. Some rules are meant to be broken and lighting is one of them.
5. Symmetry- it is the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis. It can play tricks in our brain and
when used properly in photography, it creates interesting photographs. Photographs of architecture often use symmetry.
6. Shadows- it gives depth to two-dimensional images or just interesting composition builders.
7. Contrast- is the visual ratio of different tones in an image. This difference is what creates the textures, highlights, shadows, colors and clarity
in a photograph.
8. Human Interest- Candid shots stand out. It is better to see photos with the subject who isn’t reacting to the camera but instead, living their
life.
9. Isolation- it is the ability to draw the viewer’s attention away from anything distracting in the image and lead them right to the main subject.
Philippine Media-Based Arts: Film
Filipinos love watching films. This is manifested through our interest in watching movies during the annual Metro Manila Film Festival
(MMFF), Cinemalaya, Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino and other award-giving body in film. Philippine movies are not just being watched in the
country, but it is also shown in other countries. Lots of Filipino artists and film-makers were awarded in the different international award-giving
organizations. One highly recognized film director of the country is Catalino “Lino” Ortiz Brocka, a multi-awarded director who became the
Philippine National Artist for films in 1997.
He is a director for film and broadcast arts who promoted the term “freedom of expression” in the Philippine Constitution. Brocka took his
social activist spirit to the screen leaving behind 66 films which breathed life and hope for the marginalized sectors of society. He also directed
theater plays with equal zeal and had served in organizations that offer alternative visions, like the Philippine Educational Theater Association
(PETA) and the Concerned Artists of the Philippines (CAP). With his caliber, he garnered numerous awards and recognitions here and abroad
from recognized institutions like the CCP, FAMAS, TOYM, and Cannes Film Festival.
Lino Brocka left behind his masterpieces, bequeathing to our country a heritage of cinematic harvest; a bounty of stunning images; memorable
conversations that speak volumes on love, betrayal and redemption; pestilence and plenty all pointing towards the recovery and rediscovery of
our nation.
To name a few, Brocka’s films include the following: “Santiago” (1970), “Wanted: Perfect Mother” (1970), “Tubog sa Ginto” (1971), “Stardoom”
(1971), “Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang” (1974), “Maynila: Sa Kuko ng Liwanag” (1975), “Insiang” (1976), “Jaguar” (1979), “Bona” (1980), “Macho
Dancer” (1989), “Orapronobis” (1989), “Makiusap Ka sa Diyos” (1991).
Basic Film Elements
Elements of Film is a way to compose all scene in a film and establish the essence of film. There are five elements of film which is
narrative, cinematography, sound, mise-en-scene and editing. These elements help determine the totality of the film and a way to judge them.
1. Narrative- it is similar to the plot of the movie. It is about what the movie is, the character and the world.

2. Cinematography- it is basically ‘writing in movement’. It is the way the film was framed, toned, and colored in its own way of photography.
3. Sound- it is the most powerful aspects in film that has three components to it. Sound in film has sound effects, dialogue, and music.
a. Music-help shapes the feeling and the perception of a scene in a film to the audience.
b. Dialogue- these are the verbal conversation of the characters a movie. It must be clear and audible to clearly transport the message of the
film to the audience.
c. Sound Effect- It is a sound recorded and presented to make a specific storytelling or creative point without the use of dialogue or music. The
term
often refers to a process applied to a recording, without necessarily referring to the recording itself.
4. Mise-en-scene- it is practically the things that appear in the film’s frame. It is a catch-all for everything that contributes to the visual
presentation and overall “look” of a production. When translated from French, it means “placing on stage.”
5. Editing- it is the most important skill in film making. The film editor works hard to put the whole movie together from all the scene. The editor
is also responsible for cuts and being made in the film- scenes that audiences don’t see.
Philippine Media-Based Arts: Animation
Nowadays, we are familiar with a lot of foreign animated films such as Frozen, Finding Nemo, and others. In the Philippines, there are
numerous animated films that were already produced and can compete in the global arena when it comes to animated film industry. Some of
which are RPG Metanoia, Adarna: The Mythical Bird, Urduja, and Dayo: Sa Mundo ng Elementalia.
Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion and shape change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that
minimally differ from each other. Animation can be seen in your favorite TV commercials, music, movies or even videos. The following are the
techniques and style in creating an animation.
1. Traditional Animation- These involved animators drawing by hand for each and every frame. If you love the feel of pencils on a paper, then
the traditional approach is very fascinating. Traditional animation is creating the drawings one by one on the frame. 2D animation involves
creating numerous drawings then feeding into a plastic cell, hand painting them and create the animated sequence on a painted background
image.
2. Digital 2D Animation- It is called Vector Animation. It is creating animations in the 2 dimensional space with the help of digital technologies.
You don’t need to create digital models; you just need to draw the frames. Create 100s of drawing and animating them to show some kind of
movement is technically known as digital 2d animation. Using Adobe flash,
animators can limit the number of drawings used, which makes them easier
to create digital 2d animation. Small variations like changing the color or frame rate can be changed almost instantly, thus making it easier for
the animators to work on.
3. Digital 3D Animation- it is making the unreal characters into a realistic one. Digital 3d animation characters are much faster to create and
they are quite popular in the movie making industry. Using a computer software 3d animated images are used to create many short films, full
length movies and even TV commercials and a career in digital 3d animation is highly rewarding. Comparing to 2D animation and the traditional
approach, 3d animation models are highly realistic. One best example for this animation is the RPG Metanoia.
4. Stop-Motion Animation- Stop motion is done by capturing a photo of an object, then moving it just a little bit to take another photo. This
process is similar to traditional animation, but it uses real life objects instead of drawings to create an illusion of movement. And even though it
is also time consuming and expensive, the end results are often unique and incomparable.
5. Motion Graphics- Still considered as a form of animation, motion graphics is nothing alike the other types of animations as it is not character
or story-driven. It’s simply the art of moving graphic elements such as texts or shapes.
Common examples include animated logos, film opening titles, explainer videos, and app advertisements.
THE PHILIPPINE ANIMATION PRODUCTION PROCESS
For decades, Filipinos have been successful in helping major animation studios produce compelling animated videos. However, it’s not
as simple as it sounds. For one, Filipino animators need to pass the international standards set by these global companies. The following are
the breakdown of basic Philippine animation process.
1. PRE-PRODUCTION
a. Story- this is the basis of all the other elements involved in the production process and without it, there’s no end result. As such, developing a
script is the first task every Filipino creator should do.
b. Storyboarding- is the process of breaking down the script into scenes and drawing it into panels similar to a graphic novel. It allows the
director to envision the end look of the animation and lets him make appropriate creative decisions with other people involved in the production.
c. Editorial- After the storyboards are done, they are forwarded to the editorial team who will create an animatic based on the drawn panels.
This animatic presents the beats of the story and is comprised of storyboard images, scratch dialogues, and even temporary music and sound
effects as necessary.
d. Visual Development- It is the stage where Filipino concept artists create the final look of the animation. This includes the design elements
found in characters, props, backgrounds, and color palettes. Overall, it gives the whole team a clear visual guide to follow during production.
e. Pre-Visualization- At this stage, animators review the script and storyboard to scale characters and environments in three-dimensional space
through the computer. This also serves as a blueprint of the final product which allows the client to make changes before they even start to film.
2. PRODUCTION
a. Modelling- commonly used in 3D animation, the modeling process produces a digital object capable of being fully animated. It’s an essential
stage in production as it usually involves the sculptures of characters, sets, and props.
b. Surfacing- this is the phase where surface artists use colors, textures, and shades to make the various elements of an animated film pop out.
Just take the Disney film Ratatouille as an example. Part of the reason why the ratatouille dish looks appetizing is due to the surfacing team’s
effort.
c. Rigging- it gives animated characters the ability to move their faces and bodies per the requirements of the script. Without it, they won’t be
able to hold themselves up and move around.
d. Layout and Set Dressing- Layout involves the conceptualization of environments based on the story of the animated film. Layout artists are
tasked to design the stage where the animation of the characters takes place. On the other hand, set dressing is the preparation of the
appropriate props and furniture required in the scene. The set dresser’s main job is to establish and maintain the continuity of these items in
between sequences and shots.
e. Character Animation- character animators are tasked to bring the characters to life by using the rig made by the rigging department. In
addition, they also need to carefully think about the movements and expressions of the characters in order to effectively tell a story.

7|Page
f. Crowd Simulation- the crowds department is primarily responsible for animating a large number of characters in the film. They work to
simulate realistic looking actions that should not distract from the main action.
g. Technical Directing- since an animated film revolves around the lives of the characters, technical directing is essential to make the scenes
feel alive and believable. Technical directors create motion or simulation that responds to the way a character moves. For instance, when a
character sits on a couch, they let the cushions react by flattening it. This ultimately makes it realistic.
h. Lighting- Lighting is an important element in creating the look and tone of a particular animated video. It guides the viewer’s eye to where the
main action is taking place.
3. POST-PRODUCTION
a. Compositing- At this phase, all the individual frames are rendered together to create the final edited version. This is also the time where
compositors tweak the color and adjust the depth of field accordingly to make the shot look exceptional.
b. Music and Sound Design- Music and sound design are two elements that are added during the last stages of animation production. If you
remove parts of the scenes by a few frames, the music score and sound effects wouldn’t play in sync with the actions of the characters. As
such, these two are typically put on after the final edit are locked in.
c. Color Grading- Often the last stage of the production process, color grading gives the animated videos a distinct look based on the scene’s
moods. It also provides accurate and consistent color throughout the video.
Characteristics of Philippine Animation
1. It presents current issues in the community- most of the country’s animated films talk about the recurring problems, stigma and scenarios
experienced by the Filipinos. Some of the animated films made were the “Doodle of Doom” (2007) that shows the special abilities of children
with disabilities; and “Love and Marriage” (2008) that presents racism evolving a struggle of a Filipino-Chinese Relationship.
2. It retells myths and native stories of the country in animation- Filipinos love to listen stories from their forefathers that’s why artists
present these traditional stories in motion pictures. Some of which are the Urduja, Marianing (2012), Lakas ng Lahi (2014) and Ibong Adarna.
3. It manifests Philippine culture and tradition- animation in the country is rooted in our culture and tradition. One of which is Mutya (2009)
that preserves heritage and the environment by believing that nature dwells among us.
Philippine Media-Based Arts: Print Media
Many people believe that print media is dying due to the easy access of information in modern technology. But still there are people who are fun
of reading printed materials such as newspapers, tabloids, comics and magazines. In Philippine print media art, there is a person who used to
be famous with his creativity and rich imagination in making great stories in comics, he is Antonio “Tony” Velasquez, dubbed as the “Father of
Philippine Comics”. One of his first comics is the Kenkoy.
In the contemporary print media, newspapers, tabloids, comics and magazines still exposes the events and scenarios in politics, society,
environment and even in the entertainment or showbiz business. One of the great innovations in the field of print media is the comics. Comics
can be seen already in the print and digital platforms. Comic writers, illustrators and cartoonist uses modern media and techniques like the use
of computer, specialized stylus pen and digital pads to create visuals and illustrations.
There are contemporary comics artists who are considered to be successful in their passion, these are Mr. Larry Alcala, a National Artist for
Visual Arts for his Kalabog and Bosyo and Mang Ambo, Mr. Pol Medina Jr. for his Pugad Baboy and Manix Abrera for his Kikomachine Komix.
These contemporary comics generally shows the current life of Filipinos by applying casual entertainment which evokes instantaneous laughter
to convey the meaning of the jokes, but still can identify the topical issues in pop culture that are being addressed.
Characteristics of Philippine Print Media
Print media characteristics are determined by the message, the delivery and its production. When using print media, it’s advantageous to
know what you want to say and the best way to say it. Whether it’s direct mail, magazines, newspapers or fliers and business cards handed out
in grocery stores, all are characteristics of print media fulfilling its determined purpose.
1. It displays nationalistic fervor- deep-rooted in the spirit of succeeding Filipino journalists throughout our nation’s history up to present.
2. It expresses libertarian and free enterprise principles - newspapers, tabloids, magazines and other printed materials have the freedom to
express the writer’s thoughts, ideas and principles. Aside from being commercial in nature, the press is dependent on advertising as its
lifeblood.
3. It is informative and entertaining in nature- there are printed materials that are used to give information in terms of lifestyle, health and
fashion and as for the entertainment, there are comics, pocketbooks, and other similar materials, among others.
4. It reflects Philippine tradition and culture – it shows the lives of people- their tradition and culture. In the contemporary print media such
as comics it used to present the pop culture in terms of political, societal and environmental issues.
Philippine Media-Based Arts: Digital Media
Due to easy access of information using modern technology, digital media is usually used rather than print media such E-books, internet
and other similar online reading materials. An example of which is the Wattpad stories. Wattpad is a social storytelling platform where users
connect with their favorite writers and can read and write original stories. Digital media art combines technology and art in a creative way.
Digital media artists help us visualize and understand the world in a completely digital environment. They design and create graphic content,
audio-visual content and interactive web content. In this way, artists can easily produce and distribute their artworks in a faster and wider
audiences with the aid of modern technology. Since we are in the era where everything is online, audiences can easily access and appreciate
the arts made by the artists.
Characteristics of Philippine Digital Media
1. It exchanges information in a wide range of digital platforms- sound, images, text and videos are all available in digital format for use in
a computer tablet, android phones and other similar devices.
2. It is a mixture of entertainment, illustration or communication purposes- aside from acquiring information, these characteristics can be
observed in a digital media.
3. It is an accessible storage for preservation: Digital media is stored on digital storage devices such as Hard Drives and Flash storage. This
has allowed huge amounts of data to be stored on a small place with no risk of damage to the data provided that the medium in which the data
is stored in, is not mistreated.
4. It can be easily distributed and accessed: Digital media is an easy access that can be distributed via digital storage mediums and the
internet. Compared to the past where people wanted to share a large collection of photos or magazines, it would take up a lot of space and
would take great effort in transferring it from one place to another.
5. It is user-friendly: Digital media can be easily manipulated by anyone with the necessary skills. For example, photos can be resized,
cropped, and visually altered in ways to make them appear better or to completely change the meaning of the visuals.

6. It is low cost: Easy distribution of media via the internet has also made it able to reach a wider audience for less costs in the distribution in
terms of postage and labor costs etc. Social media also provides a good medium of advertising, allowing content to reach many different types
of people worldwide.

Activity 1. Stop, Look, and Read

An infographic is a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal text that gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic. Since humans are
naturally visual beings, it is better for us to understand and process information in graphic forms rather than pure texts. Our brain transformed these
images and texts into memorable information.

Here are few tips in making and designing an infographic:

10 | P a g e
1. Make it simple. Designing an infographic is not to overwhelm it with graphics and texts rather showing only the important information and
illustrations that convey the message you wanted to deliver.
2. Use universal graphics. Avoid using icons or illustrations that are not familiar so as not to defeat the very essence of infographic. Your designs
should be understood by everyone.
3. Make it original. Though the internet provides you many ready-made designs make yours original as much as possible. Use your creativity and
ingenuity without sacrificing the purpose and meaning of your infographic.

Background

Module 1: Dance Craze 1: Street and Hip-Hop dance

One of the recre ational activities that you can perform regularly is dancing. A form of dance that is fun, enjoyable, and beneficial is
street and hip-hop dance.
Street dance can be considered as the father of hip-hop dancing. The term is an informal and improvised style of dance that has evolved
outside dance studios.
Formally, it is called vernacular dance since participants are allowed to dance in any available space like streets, parties, parks, school
yards, and night clubs. It also developed a social nature wherein participants are encouraged to interact with spectators and other dancers.
Hip-hop dance, on the other hand, refers to street dance styles primarily performed with hip-hop music, or that have evolved as part of hip-
hop culture. Hip-hop music incorporates a number of iconic elements, most notably DJing and rapping, along with beat boxing, sampling, and juggling
beats on turntables.
Street and Hip-hop dancing as an exercise is generally associated with ZUMBA, a dance fitness program that was created by Alberto “Beto”
Perez sometime in the 90’s. It is a combination of different styles of dance in which hip-hop was included as a dance routine.

Definition of Terms:
 DJing is the art of spinning records at a dance party, picking out songs in a crowd-pleasing sequence. Also the art of touching and moving
records with your hands.
 Breakdancing is a style of dancing that includes gymnastic moves, head-spins and back-spins.
 Graffiti is a visual art, an expression of youth culture and rebellion in public places.
 MCing/MC is the initial for the master of ceremonies. MCs originally hosted parties and introduced tracks to the dancing audience.
Eventually, the term was used to describe rappers. Rapping is the art of saying rhymes to the beat of the music. It comes out of the African-
American oral tradition of using rhyming language to ridicule your friends or enemies in a clever way.

Hip-Hop Dance Styles

1. BREAKING/B-BOYING, also called breakdancing, is a style of street dance and the first hip-hop dance style that was created in the South
Bronx New York City among Black and Puerto Rican youths during the early 1970s.
It has four movements:
• Top rock - footwork-oriented steps performed while standing up
• Down rock -footwork performed with both hands and feet on the floor
• Freezes -stylish poses done with your hands
• Power moves–comprised of full-body spins and rotations that give the illusion of defying the gravity

2. LOCKING, also called as Campbel locking, was created by Don Campbellock Campbell in 1969 in Los Angeles, California. It was
popularized by his crew, The Lockers. It is a type of dance that is very similar to popping. Both movements seem to have a “PAUSE”. The
difference is, in locking, the dancers hold their positions called the LOCK, longer. The lock which is similar to freeze or sudden change, is
the primary move used in locking

3. POPPING was popularized by Samuel Boogaloo Sam Solomon and his crew, the Electric Boogaloos. It was created in Fresno, California
in the 1970s. It is characterized by its robotic elements contracting or jerking the muscles of the body which is called pop or a hit.

4. TUTTING is an upper-body dance that uses arms, hands, and wrists in a creative way to make geometric shapes forming a right angle. It
can also be done with the fingers rather than the arms. This method is called finger tutting.

5. SHUFFLING (Melbourne Shuffle or rocking) is a rave and club dance that originated in the late 1980s in the underground rave music scene
in Melbourne, Australia. It is characterized by fast heel and toe twisting, stepping, running man variations, stomping with the beat, foot
swiveling from side to side, and having feet that appear to be gliding on and off the ground.

6. KRUMPING is a form of dancing that originated in the African-American community of South Central Los Angeles, California and is a
relatively new form of the “Urban” Black dance movement. It is characterized as being a free dance where the movements are more abrupt
and strong. It is also an expressive, exaggerated, and highly energetic dance.

7. WAACKING is an African American form of street dance originating in the 1970s disco era of the underground LGBT club scenes in Los
Angeles and New York City and receive its name from the English word “waack”, which means “waving arms”. Its characteristics are the
stylized posing and fast synchronized arm movements.

Safety Precautions when dancing

It is a requirement for every learner like you, to observe safety precautions before performing physical activities like street and hip-hop
dancing in order to prevent injury.
Here are some safety measures that you can do before dancing.
✓ Wear appropriate clothing (comfortable clothes) and footwear (rubber shoes).
✓ Do warm - up exercises before you start the activity and cool down after.
✓ Hydrate as needed.
✓ Dance in a spacious, smooth and dry area to avoid slipping.

activities such as street and hip-hop dance, you have to eat the right amount of food needed by your body or a well-balanced diet to give you energy;
to help you focus and concentrate, and to prevent you from any untoward injury or accident.
The Pinggang Pinoy for Teenagers was developed by the Department of Science and Technology –Food and Nutrition Research Institute
Pyramid to help teenagers choose healthy and nutritious foods. It is a food guide that shows the recommended proportions and amounts of food
groups to be consumed in every meal, targeting the nutritional needs of adolescents, 13 to 18 years old. It is composed of 17% fruits, 33% vegetables,
33% carbohydraterich foods, and 17% protein-rich foods. Physical activity and sufficient intake of water are also included.
The Pinggang Pinoy features the GO (Energy giving), GROW (Body building), and GLOW (Body regulating) food groups. The Glow or
body regulating food group consisting of vegetables and fruits take up half of the food on the plate. The Go or energy giving food group includes
foods rich in carbohydrates which is the main source of energy for the muscles during vigorous activity. Examples are rice, root crops, pasta, and
bread. Eating meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans and nuts is an important source of protein. It helps build and repair muscles that have been stressed
out through continuous use. All of these foods belong to Grow food or body building group that should take up less than ¼ of what you eat per
meal.

What is GALAW PILIPINAS?

Galaw Pilipinas was developed through a series of workshops spearheaded by the Bureau of Curriculum Development. Participants who
served as developers were PE supervisors and Special Program in Sports implementers bringing with them rhythmic movements/exercises inspired
by fotk dances and tribal/festival movements in their respective regions. These movements are inspired by Philippine folk dances which include
Rigodon Royale, Tinikling, and Maglalatik, among others; and festivals particularly Sinulog, Higalaay, Kalilang, and the like Arnis stances such as
strikes are also integrated in the calisthenics in recognition of Arnis as the Philippine national martial art and sports. Meanwhile, select Special
Program in the Arts implementers provided the original composition with vocals and instrumentals to serve as the official music of the calisthenics.
Finally, to ensure the quality of the calisthenics routine, it was developed, validated, and finalized with the help of different experts from the field,
academe, and physical fitness associations.

Background
Module 1: Significance of Global Health Initiatives
Global health is the understanding of health care in an international and interdisciplinary context. It includes the study, research, and
practice of medicine with focus and emphasis on improving health and health care equity for populations worldwide. Global health initiatives cover
both medical and non-medical disciplines such as epidemiology, sociology, economic disparities, public policy, environmental factors, cultural
studies, etc.
Below are some of the most important global health initiatives that are shaping the current health condition in our world.

Module 2: Positive Impact of Global Health Initiatives

Global health initiatives tackle increasing global health threats, reducing disparities within communities and among nations contributing to
making a world where people live healthier and safer.
This module presents the positive impacts on the implementation of the different global health initiatives that will make the lives of people
around the globe improved. That through this initiatives, high quality health care shall be provided in collaboration with local partners to strengthen
health systems in developing countries.
In this module, you will know how the global health initiatives have positively given impact to people’s health in various countries.
The role of Global health initiatives is to ultimately strengthen local partnership to better serve their own communities. The table briefly
presents the different global health initiatives in column 1 while column 2 discusses the positive impacts of the identified initiatives. It should be noted
that these impacts are data coming from the website of those health initiatives. Please take note of these impacts since there will be questions to
follow to test your understanding. You can also search for more information at the different websites of the said global initiatives.

1.Global Fund
Health Initiatives Positive Impacts
Accelerating the end of AIDS, TB, malaria as epidemics. The Results Report 2019 shows great progress against some of
the biggest challenges in the fight against the three diseases achieved
in countries where the Global Fund invested:
• 18.9 million people received antiretroviral therapy for HIV.
• 719,000 HIV-positive mothers received medicine to keep
them alive and prevent transmitting HIV to their babies.
• 5.3 million people tested and treated for TB.
• 131 million mosquito nets distributed to protect families
from malaria.
In Rwanda in east Africa, the Global Fund has supported the
expansion of community health insurance coverage for 3.3 million
people on low incomes, including approximately 300 000 people living
with HIV/AIDS and 150 000 orphans.
About one-third of expenditures supported by the Global Fund are
already devoted to upgrading health-care infrastructures and to
training and capacity building for health-care personnel.

 1.Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI)
Health Initiatives Positive Impacts

Innovation for Uptake, Scale and Equity in Immunization (INFUSE) Since 2016, GAVI has immunized nearly 200 million children and are
ahead of reaching 300 million children by 2020.
The breadth of protection has increased, by 10 percentage points
in the last year alone and 21 percentage points since the beginning of
the strategy period.
Since its inception in 2000, Gavisupported immunization
programmed in Africa have helped avert 7.5 million deaths.
Over 250 million children were immunized with pentavalent
vaccine (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Hep B and Hib) since 2000.
Since inception, nearly 130 million children were immunized with
pneumococcal vaccine against the leading cause of pneumonia.
Nearly 78 million children were immunized since 2000 with
rotavirus vaccine against the leading cause of severe diarrhea.
Over 3.1 million girls in Africa have been immunized against
human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the main cause of cervical
cancer.
2.World Health Organization (WHO)
Health Initiatives Positive Impacts
Alliance for Healthy Cities The first Healthy Cities Programs were launched in developed
countries (i.e. Canada, USA, Australia, many European nations). The
programs have proven successful in increasing understanding of
health and environment linkages and in the creation of intersectoral
partnerships to ensure a sustainable, widespread programs.
Taiwan was able to develop a well-organized framework and
model to encourage strong leadership in local governments and to
promote participation and engagement in their communities.
WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO-FCTC) Nearly 22 million future premature smoking-attributable deaths
were averted because of strong implementation of demandreduction
measures adopted by countries between 2007 and 2014.
In Kenya since 2013, there has been 20% increase in Tobacco tax
revenues due to new regulations. Between 2001 and 2007, the
proportion of currently smoking students who wanted to stop smoking
increased.
The budget for health in the Philippines has increased, particularly
for universal health care after raising the tax imposed to cigarette.
WHO’s Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol The United States saw a 16% median decline in motor vehicle
crashes.
Brazil reduced the opening hours of bars from 24 hours a day to
closure at 11 pm was associated with a 44% drop in homicides.
The Russian Federation implemented alcohol control measures in
2003. By 2016, recorded consumption of alcohol had fallen by 40%.
Over the same period all-cause mortality dropped by 39% in men and
36% in women, with the sharpest decline in causes of death linked to
alcohol consumption.
In 2019, the WHO European region is the only region that has a
significant reduction on alcohol per capita consumption which
surpassed a 10% relative reduction in comparison with 2010
3. United Nations Development Program (UNDP)
Health Initiatives Positive Impacts
UNDP Strategic Plan Global poverty has fallen from 35 per cent in 1990 to under 10 per
cent in 2016, reducing the number of poor people in the world by over
1 billion.
Panama achieved high-income status in 2018, leading to a decline
in core regular resources from UNDP.
Malaysia’s commitment to women’s rights and gender equality has
developed over time in both the domestic and international arenas.
The country effectively responded to human development challenges
and reduced inequalities with the help of UNDP.

4.United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF)

Health Initiatives Positive Impacts
Digital Health Initiative (DHI) UNICEF has harnessed the power of ICT to support countries to
ensure that every child survives and thrives.
Around the world, 85.8 million mothers, community health workers,
vaccinators, and health facility staff in 18 countries have benefited
from digital health platforms and the communities they connect to the
health system.
16 | P a g e
 In October 2018, more than 37 million Pakistan children received
measles vaccination during a 12-day supplementary immunization
campaign, using real-time monitoring powered by RapidPro, according
to government reports.
As of December 2019, in Bangladesh, initial results indicate that
89 per cent of registered pregnant women using the real-time
monitoring by Rapidpro have received antenatal care and 99 percent
reported satisfaction with those services; and 91 per cent of registered
lactating women received postnatal care and 97 reported that they are
satisfied with that support.

Strengthening Health Systems (SHS) Since 1990, through the UNICEF Health Systems Strengthening
Approach remarkable gains have been made in improving outcomes
for children and women. The number of children dying before the age
of five years has almost halved and similar progress has been made
in maternal mortality.
Stunting (chronic undernutrition) among children below age five
decreased from 40 per cent in 1990 to 25 percent in 2013. However,
stunting continues to affect an estimated 161 million children globally.
In Afghanistan, nearly 1.2 million children under one year receive
life-saving vaccines.
On a yearly basis, 6 million pregnant women receive vaccines that
prevent nine diseases.
In 2020, 50,364 pregnant women and 79,362 children who live
more than two hours away from a health facility received essential
health care through mobile health teams.

Module 3: Issues in the Implementation of Global Health Initiatives

Different health organizations across the globe have conceptualized and implemented health initiatives to address emerging issues and
concerns on health as you have learned in Modules 1 and 2. These initiatives have outlined importance and impact on the health of citizens of
various countries around the world. The impact centered on improved access and delivery of health services, especially for developing countries.
In the implementation of the global health initiatives, there were inevitable barriers that arose which hindered the attainment of the
initiatives. The table below synthesizes them.

I.Global Fund
Health Initiative:
Accelerating the end of AIDS, TB, Malaria as epidemics
Problems in the Implementation
❖ The evolution of the epidemic
❖ Stigma and discrimination that discouraged people from seeking treatment
❖ Widespread disruptions to HIV, TB and Malaria service delivery as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting
approximately three-quarters of HIV, TB and Malaria programs.
❖ HIV prevention; testing and case finding for HIV, TB and malaria; cancelled or delayed prevention activities; and medical and
laboratory staff being reassigned to the fight against COVID-19.

2. Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI)

Health Initiative:
Innovation for Uptake, Scale and Equity in Immunization (INFUSE)
Problems in the Implementation

17 | P a g e
 ❖ Urbanization and rapid growth of population lived in urban
settings.
❖ Lack of incentive to develop vaccines for neglected
diseases that affect low- and middle-income countries
❖ Lack of immunization infrastructure, health care workforce

Health Initiative:
Alliance for Healthy Cities
Problems in the Implementation
❖ Arise of urban health problems due to fast changing
globalization and urbanization in both developed as well a
s developing countries.
❖ Lack of program permanence and other outcomes-related
issues.
❖ Developing countries, lack the resources to develop good
guidance to lead the project.

Health Initiative:
WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO-FCTC)
Problems in the Implementation
❖ Limited administrative and technical capacity, inadequate financial
resources, and pervasive interference by the tobacco industry
contributed to insufficient and uneven implementation between
countries and regions.

❖ Poor intersectoral coordination together with low public and

government awareness of tobacco control as a development issue
that has implications far beyond health is a major impediment.

Health Initiative:
WHO’s Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol
Problems in the Implementation
❖ Poor progress since the endorsement of the ‘Global strategy to
reduce the harmful use of alcohol’ by the World Health Assembly.
❖ Most countries, particularly low- and middle-income countries,
have not implemented a comprehensive set of alcohol policies.
❖ Many countries are failing to implement the best buys, with
lowand middle-income countries more likely to have weaker
policies.

3. United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF)

Health Initiative:
Digital Health Initiative
Problems in the Implementation
❖ Lack of strong, innovative systems that can give
governments the information and tools they need to
respond quickly to disease outbreaks and deliver on
emergency health needs.
❖ Innovation for development – exploring new ways of
delivering programs to reach the hardest-toreach children
and those most in need.
❖ Digital health portfolio from birth registration to vaccine
management and disease tracking.

Health Initiative:
Strengthening Health System

18 | P a g e
 Problems in the Implementation
❖ The health-related sustainable development goals (SDGs) require
integrated action on system-wide challenges. To address gaps in
health service delivery, there is a need of evidence on which
government agencies, research institutions, donors and civil
society can act.
❖ There is plenty of evidence for the effectiveness of standard
interventions to prevent maternal and child deaths, but countries
vary widely in the degree to which these interventions have been
implemented.

4. United Nations Development Program (UNDP

Health Initiative:
UNDP Strategic Plan Anchored on SDG
Problems in the Implementation
❖ Unmet health needs
➢ While the world has seen tremendous health progress in
recent years, millions of people still don’t have access to
the health technologies they need to survive and thrive.
➢ Diseases affecting the world’s poorest people failed to
attract the attention and funding needed to develop new
health technologies.
➢ Even when treatments are developed, they are often not
available or delivered at the country level, remaining out of
reach for the people who need them most.
