DEPED COPYReadings: Reproductive health also concerns problems such as sexually-transmittedinfections. According to Dr. Natividad (2013), in the Young Adult Fertility and SexualityStudy of 2013 (YAFS-4), a survey of Filipino college and high school graduates, 36.2percent and 43.5 percent respectively admitted to having engaged in premarital sex.In addition 66.7 percent and 79.6 percent did not use any protection at first premaritalsex. These scenarios are most often the causes of infections. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS is caused by humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV) which usually does not have symptoms in its earlystages. “Initially, people with HIV were diagnosed as having AIDS only when theydeveloped blood infections, the cancer known as Kaposi’s sarcoma, or any of the 21other indicator diseases” (Donatelle, 2006). In addition, HIV is highly infectious throughunprotected sexual intercourse, breastfeeding (of an infected mother to infant), andblood transfusion/injecting drugs (needles used for infected patients). Currently, thereare several treatment options for HIV and AIDS, but no known cure yet.Activity 5: YOUR AID TO AIDSWrite a short reflection on how HIV affect a person’s life and others. In this light, the government also puts its efforts to eradicate these sex-relateddiseases, most especially AIDS. The Republic Act No. 8504 or the Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Actof 1998 was passed by the Congress on July 28, 1997. The Act promulgates “policiesand prescribing measures for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in the Philippines,instituting a nationwide HIV/AIDS information and educational program, establishinga comprehensive HIV/AIDS monitoring system, strengthening the Philippine NationalAIDS Council, and for other purposes” (PNAC). The Act also provides for education and information dissemination in variousinstitutions and agencies, safe practice and procedures (testing, screening, andcounseling) in health organizations and associations, monitoring of cases withconfidentiality, and programs for anti-discriminatory acts (in the workplace, hospitals,and other public institutions). 240 All rights reserved.

Substance Use and Abuse Gateway drugs may be considered as windows to unprotected sex. These aredrugs “that people use initially that may eventually lead to the abuse of illegal drugs”(Galvez Tan, et al., 2009). Alcohol and tobacco are gateway drugs. When alcohol isconsumed, the central nervous system is affected. Thus, a person is more vulnerableto doing dangerous acts because of depressed decision-making skills. 242 All rights reserved.

Republic Act No. 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 protects citizens from the harmful effects of dangerous drugs to their physical and mental well-being. According to the policy, here are some which are considered as unlawful acts and are subject to penalties and fines. a.

In order to promote a healthful environment, the Act absolutely bans smokingin public places, most especially in centers of youth activities, elevators and stairwells,fire-hazardous places, within public and private hospitals and medical clinics, airportand other terminals, and food preparation areas. In this light, a designated smokingand non-smoking area should be utilized. The Act also restricts access to sale of tobacco products to minors. Tobaccomay not be put in a vending machine, unless it verifies age, and may not be sold within100 meters of a school. Should tobacco be sold, there should be proper signage thatindicates target consumers. When it comes to advertising and promotions, the Act provisions the printing ofwarnings on cigarette packs in either Filipino or English. In addition, health warningsshould also be included. Lastly, the government should provide programs and projects for those whoshall be affected by the passing of the Act. One example of which are the tobaccogrowers.

DEPED COPYV. Social Health Peer influence also concerns you as adolescents. You are in the developmental stage wherein you build lasting relationships with peers. Here are some issues that you may encounter: 1. Cybercrime With the advancement of technology, there are various platforms where you may express yourself. This diversity may do both good and harm to you. “Cyber refers to a computer or a computer network, the electronic medium in which online communication takes place”. Thus, cybercrime is simply any crime committed in cyberspace. To protect the citizens from this concern, the government mandated Republic Act No. 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. The law mandates the prohibition of cybersex, child pornography, unsolicited commercial communications, and computer-related identity theft. 2. Child Pornography In relation to cybercrime, child pornography has become a pressing concern of this generation. Republic Act No. 9775 or the Anti- Child Pornography Act of 2009 defines the crime of child pornography. As defined, “Child pornography” refers to any representation, whether visual, audio, or written combination thereof, by electronic, mechanical, digital, optical, magnetic or any other means, of child engaged or involved in real or simulated explicit sexual activities” (Official Gazette, 2009). In addition, it is also important to note how the Act defines a “child”. “Child” refers to a person below eighteen (18) years of age or over, but is unable to fully take care of himself/herself from abuse, neglect, cruelty, exploitation or discrimination because of a physical or mental disability or condition. For the purpose of this Act, a child shall also refer to: (1) a person regardless of age who is presented, depicted or portrayed as a child as defined herein; and (2) computer-generated, digitally or manually crafted images or graphics of a person who is represented or who is made to appear to be a child as defined herein. Child pornography may also be syndicated if there are three (3) or more persons confederating with one another. In this light, it is not only the victim who can file a complaint, but the parents or guardians, relative within the third degree, officer or social worker of a licensed child-caring institution or DSWD, barangay chairman, law enforcement officer, at least three concerned responsible citizens in the same place where the pornography occurs, and a person who is knowledgeable of the law may do so. 245 All rights reserved.

DEPED COPY Once the victim is identified, he/she is subject to care, custody and treatment from the Department of Social Welfare and Development. In addition, an inter-agency program shall also be established to prevent child pornography.Activity 10: RESCUE THE CHILD When a child is subject under pornography, who may file a complaint for thevictim? List them below. 3. Hazing Fraternities and sororities, gangs, and social groups are starting to become more and more identified and publicized. Because of their “alleged” prestige and prime, more teens are encouraged to be a part of them. For some of these groups, hazing may be an option to test an “applicant’s” willingness and commitment. On the other hand, hazing is very dangerous, and proven to have killed many lives. The government protects the youth through the Republic Act No. 8949 or the Anti-Hazing Law. The Act penalizes those who will go too far during initiation rites wherein the “applicant” is subjected to severe physical and emotional pain and suffering 4. Blood Donation Being proactive citizens of the country, you must willingly help others in ways that will not harm you. One of the emerging forms of voluntary service is blood donation. Republic Act No. 7719 or the National Blood Services Act of 1994 aims to promote and encourage 246 All rights reserved.

In order to attain these aims, the Act provisions the establishment of a Blood Services Network which consists of the following: a.

National Reference Laboratories for Immunology and Immunohematology VI. Safety in the Environment Pollution and road safety are two of the most usual issues that concern you as a member of your community. Here are some policies most appropriate to address these concerns. 1. Pollution With the exponential growth in population, more resources are being demanded and supplied to the people. However, people do not manage these resources properly. Thus, pollution arises. That is why the government mandated the Republic Act No. 9512 or the National Environmental Awareness and Education Act of 2008. This Act promotes environmental awareness through environmental education. Various educational agencies, DSWD, DOST, and DENR shall integrate environmental education in their curricula. It shall encompass the concepts and principles, laws, international and national best practices, threats of degradation and its impacts to human well-being, responsibilities of humans in conservation, protection and rehabilitation of resources, and sustainable development through the environment. In addition, environmental education shall also be part of the National Service Training Program (NSTP). 247 All rights reserved.

List them on the board. Your teacher will help you clarify new terms and concepts.DEPED COPY Global Health and the Millennium Development Goals The term “global health” rose in popularity along with the rise of globalization. Both terms improved public awareness of vulnerabilities and shared responsibilities among people for the different injustices in the world. Ilona Kickbush (2006), director of the Global Health Program at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland states that global health pertains to various health issues, concerns, and trends which go beyond national boundaries and call for global initiatives for the protection and promotion of peoples’ health across the world. Koplan and Associates (2009) states that global health is an area for study, research and practice that prioritizes health improvement and achieving impartiality in healthcare and wellness worldwide. Beaglehole and Bonita (2010) gave a short but meaningful definition of global health: cooperative research and action of international communities to promote health for all. 261 All rights reserved.

DEPED COPYM D Gillennium evelopment oals The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are eight targets that all191 UN Member States have agreed to achieve by 2015. The United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September 2000commits world leaders to fight discrimination against women and children, disease,hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and environmental degradation. All of these goals cannotbe attained without addressing each and everyone. All of them influence, affect anddepend on better global health programs and policies. 1 Developing countries particularly in Africa and Asia suffer from extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty and hunger leads to severe malnutrition which leads to lifelong physical and cognitive (learning and reasoning) damage and affects health, well-being and the economy. Some key suggestions to eradicate poverty and hunger are:C Education C Promoting gender equalityC Producing more jobs C Investing more in agriculture C Strengthened nutrition programs for children and infantsC Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises 2 Persons, particularly women who are educated, are more likely to seek medical care especially during pregnancy, ensuring proper nutrition for their family, adopting healthy sanitary practices and ensuring immunization of children. As an effect, infants and children have better survival rates, are healthier and better nourished. If these are attained, children who receive primary education are more likely to:C Marry and have their own families at a later stage in life C Practice family planning and have fewer childrenC Know rights, responsibilities and civic obligationsC Seek employment and sustain personal and family needsC Have decreased risk of getting sexually transmitted infections like HIV/AIDSC Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises 262 All rights reserved.

DEPED COPY 3 Gender equality means equal representation of men and women. It implies that all gender should have equal value and treatment. Equal gender treatment empowers women and other groups creating opportunities in education, work, finances, and other aspects which improves the economy and lessen effects of financial crises. Gender equality can be achieved through: C Early childhood development intervention C Promotion of women’s political rights and involvement C Improved reproductive health programs and policies C Education and integrating gender equality in school curriculum C Improved women’s access to work and strengthened labor policies for women C Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises 4 Programs and policies which help reduce child mortality like improving nutritional intake, healthcare facilities and infrastructure, and other fields which improve children’s lives. Strengthening local and national health programs and policies is one way to reduce child mortality. This includes: C Immunization programs C Assuring the survival and better health of mothers C Improving reproductive health programs and policies C Better nutrition program for infants, children and mothers 5 Improved maternal health is not only about mother’s health but also involves the health and wellness of the family. Maternal health also helps eradicate other problems like poverty, gender inequality, decreased workforce, lower birth deaths, and disability of women. Some ways to improve maternal health include: C Improved and proper nutrition of mothers C Teaching the benefits of birth spacing and small family size C Educating young boys and girls about the importance of maternal health CBetter and improved access to hospital care especially obstetric-gynecology, prenatal and postnatal care 263 All rights reserved.

Some of the effects of disease outbreak are loss of jobs, shortage in professional workers, and creating social crises. Children are the most vulnerable and are exposed to exploitation and abuse undermining their normal growth and development. Some ways to combat diseases include effective prevention, treatment and care like:C Improved housing conditionsC Increased access to anti-malarial medicinesC Promoting safer sex behavior and preventive education for all C Promoting Tuberculosis (TB) screening of HIV/AIDS persons andC TB - Directly Observed Treatment Short (TB-DOTS) Course therapyC Promoting the use of insecticide-treated nets to fight mosquito-borne diseases 7 Investing and supporting sustainable energy like solar, wind and water energy help support jobs, create business opportunities, and save remaining non-renewable energy sources. Environmental sustainability assures peoples to live healthier and enjoy a clean and green environment. Some of the benefits of a sustainable environment are:C Cleaner air and environment C Clean, environment-friendly, and renewable energyC New and aspiring jobs and business in energyC Increased access to sanitation 8 The United Nations, World Health Organization, World Bank and governments work together to make sure there is fair trade and that heavily indebted countries obtain relief and funds to combat poverty, malnutrition and funds for education and social projects. Some benefits of global partnership are:C Expanded international trade agreements C Improved access to affordable medicineC Reduced poverty through government debt relief grantC Developed information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure 264 All rights reserved.

DEPED COPYSUMMARY Global health initiatives are programs and projects which help address global health issues, concerns, and trends. Global health is a new trend in which the World Health Organization addresses health concerns in cooperation with member-nations and private international organizations as partners. Some of these health issues, concerns, and trends are about mental health, pollution, climate change, environmental sanitation, tobacco control, harmful use of alcohol, and prevention and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases. Along with the health initiatives to prevent if not reduce the prevalence of health problems, the United Nations formulated the eight millennium developmental goalsin the year 2000 so that nations across the world can reduce poverty and hunger, promote universal education for all and gender equity, reduce mortality among children, improve maternal health, combat HIV/AIDs, malaria, and other communicable diseases, ensure environmental sustainability, and develop global partnership in addressing global problems. Among the global health initiatives led by the World Health Organization are: Stop TB, Roll Back Malaria, Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases, Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan, Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol and Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases. 281 All rights reserved.
