(D11) COM: OUTPUTS, FINALIZATION, AND REALIZATIONS

We had to report back to COM today and prepare all the files needed for our presentation. We were the only group that finished early with our field work, so we made use of the extra time to work on our papers. The usual tasks were distributed among the members, and we worked together to complete the reports.

Today was also an opportunity for me to talk with my other groupmates. We bonded for a while and then proceeded to finish our assignment for the day. I learned the importance of teamwork in producing efficient outputs. We need to be accountable to each other and responsible for our own progress as well.

(D2) ZERO OPEN DEFECATION: DENGUE, INFORMATION DISSEMINATION, AND THE GENEROSITY OF ALFONSO RESIDENTS

Ma'am, paano niyo po tinatapon and dumi at diaper ni baby? That is the question I asked multiple times today. Medicine does not only involve the human body. It is highly influenced by multiple facets that contributes to the well-being of a person. Today, I learned the importance of a clean environment, health education, and social interaction for future Doktors ng Bayan. We started the day with a talk led by one of the health workers, Sir John Ren, about dengue. Doctor Elie also mentioned out of the hat facts about mosquitos that I never heard of, but she emphasized, is needed for future dengue surveillance. I did not know that a mosquito could fly up to 5 feet, nor they could travel a distance of 20 feet. It was a very informative experience for me. As we finished the dengue discussion, I volunteered to go with Ma'am Cynthia, Ma'am Telay, and Sir John Ren for monitoring Zero open defecation in three different Barangays. Doc Elie proudly mentioned that the municipality of...

DAY 0 - THE ORIENTATION

PROJECT AI- ALFONSO IMMERSION TO COMMENCE IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS !!! Today marks the orientation for our summer immersion program. We are tasked to take part in experiencing the programs under our designated RHU within the Cavite province. We were given multiple objectives for this program, including the integration of complementary medicine — how culture affects the public's perception of health and treatment plans. Through the orientation, I was able to put a distinct picture of how an RHU works. It is diverse and is coupled with multiple programs needed by specific municipalities. As our doctor in charge orients us in our duties and responsibilities during our time at Alfonso, I was able to meet with other second years who are assigned in the same municipality with me. They were able to help us in some areas that we are not aware of, such as transportation, preparing survey forms, and scheduling of tasks. As I finish my orientation today, I realize the importance of ...

(D6) SUSPENSION: OF REMOTE MEETINGS AND SILENT BATTLES

Classes are suspended again. But we managed to meet and get some documents done for our future report. We met at around afternoon to discuss our program planning as well as our CAM report to finish. We are able to accomplish some tasks today, and I was able to rest a little as I am not feeling well. Nothing much happened today, but this experience made me realize that we should not waste our time in service. We can create programs and help the health system even remotely. This is the advantage given to us by technology. As I become a future doctor, I will make sure to use this in good purpose to help others and to improve the public health system one meeting at a time.
