What does peace and security
mean to you?
Let’s divide the terms. What is a
state of peace? What does it
mean to feel secure?
Pulsuhan!

One News reported that a Washington-based analytics
company revealed at least 80% of 2,090 Filipinos
felt they were felt secure, based on their own
experiences with crime and law enforcement.
According to the November 21-25 SWS survey, 61% felt
that they can say anything they want, openly
and without fear even if it is against the
administration.
The respondents for both surveys were limited and does
not represent the totality of experiences by the Filipino
people.
What you need to know about Peace & Security
The poor and other vulnerable groups suffer
disproportionately from crime, insecurity and
fear.

Reminder!
Human Rights Violations are
violations by the State!
The mandate of the Commission on Human Rights is to hold the state accountable when persons in authority
or agents of the state commit violations against the fundamental rights of the citizens.
It is an independent office tasked with seeing the compliance of the Philippines to treaties and conventions on
human rights.

Article II on the Declaration of Principles
and State Policies’
Section 2.
The Philippines renounces war as an instrument of national policy,
adopts the generally accepted principles of international law as part of
the law of the land and adheres to the policy of peace, equality,
justice, freedom, cooperation, and amity with all nations.
Section 3.
Civilian authority is, at all times, supreme over the military. The Armed
Forces of the Philippines is the protector of the people and the State.
Its goal is to secure the sovereignty of the State and the integrity of
the national territory.
Section 5.
The maintenance of peace and order, the protection of life, liberty, and
property, and promotion of the general welfare are essential for the
enjoyment by all the people of the blessings of democracy.
Article III, Bill of Rights:
Section 1.
No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property
without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied
the equal protection of the laws.
Know your rights,
kababayan!

What the pandemic revealed about the PH health system

Physical Health
Physical health deals with the
body’s ability to function.
Mental Health
Mental health deals with
how we think, feel and cope
with daily life.
Social Health
Social Health deals with the
way react with people
within our environment.
The Scientific World lists down reasons why good health is important to an
individual:
1. It allows him to serve himself, his nation and his community.
2. It saves him the costs of treatment and the hassle of going to hospitals.
3. Psychologically healthy people feel comfortable and happy in their lives and enjoy life well.

Let take a look at…
The Health of our Healthcare System
Health Care in
the Philippines
World Health Organization (WHO)
describes the Philippine Health Care as
fragmented. The government spends little
money on the program which causes high
out of pocket spending and further widens
the gap between rich and poor.

Total individual tested
Tracing without a map or direction
Magalong presented the following
challenges to improving contact tracing
in the Philippines a year on:
1. Lack of uniform data collection tool among local
government units
2. The COVID KAYA and Tanod Kontra COVID projects
are ineffective
3. Lack of trained contact tracers
4. Problems in encoding data
5. Many LGUs do not go beyond first generation of
close contacts – the household
6. Contact tracing analytical tools are not used by
many LGUs
7. Many LGUs do not coordinate with uniformed
personnel for contact tracing
8. The Stay Safe contact tracing application is not yet
in full use, and has not been fully acquired by the
government.
“NO CONTACT TRACING,” said Baguio Mayor Benjamin Magalong
Baguio Mayor Benjamin Magalong, who is also the contact tracing czar,
noted that based on data, the Philippines is only able to identify at least
seven contacts per coronavirus-infected person when the ideal contact
tracing ratio should be 1:37 for urban areas, and 1:30 for rural communities.
12,416,148
The Philippines is conducting an average of
47,873 tests daily for the past 7 days.
Total tests conducted
11,662,972
The Philippines is testing an average of
44,435 individuals daily for the past 7 days.
As of May 11, 20214pm, analysis done on
data from DOH DataDrop

According to the Philippines
News Agency, Health
Undersecretary and National
Vaccination Operations
Center chairperson Myrna
Cabotaje said that about 2
million doses set to expire in
June, 2021, would be
administered only to priority
groups A1 to A3.
Companies were allowed to procure vaccines provided that
they enter into tripartite agreements with the national
government and the manufacturers
The requirement for a tripartite agreement is for 3 reasons:
1. Manufacturers of available Covid-19 vaccines
require that indemnification be covered by the
national government before finalizing any
procurement deals
2. National government that will shoulder the cost of
adverse effects
3. Available vaccines are only those provided with
EUA.

#NowYouVote2022

Why is Formal Education Vital?
It develops the innate
abilities of a person
It opens doors to work
opportunities
In a Study done by Curtis, Ward, Sharp
and Hankin, they mentioned that
Education is the product of either
Schooling or Training which both requires
experience in a formal educational
environment.
According to the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and
Development (2012), people with higher
levels of education have better job
prospects. The difference is particularly
marked between those who have
attained upper secondary education and
those who have not.

SECTION 1. The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all
levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.
SECTION 2. The State shall:
(1) Establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education
relevant to the needs of the people and society.
EDUCATION: VITAL
AND CONSTITUTIONAL
According to Article XIV of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution, the state has the duty to provide
quality and accessible education to all.

A Decades-Old Problem:
Youth Out of School, An Education Against the Odds
Factors affecting access and quality of education
1. A lack of funding for education
2. Having no teacher, or having an untrained teacher
3. No classroom
4. A lack of learning materials
5. The exclusion of children with disabilities
6. Being the ‘wrong’ gender
7. Living in a country in conflict or at risk of conflict
8. Distance from home to school
9. Hunger and poor nutrition
10. The expense of education

Gaps in the PH Education System
Overfilled Classrooms, Overworked Students and Teachers
The Teacher-Student ratio in 2018 was reported by
DepEd to be 1:31 for the elementary level, 1:36 for
Junior High School level, and 1:31 for Senior High
School level.
The problem was primarily for schools situated in
NCR, where there was either an excess or
deficiency in the number of teachers.
Teachers now handle a boatload of classes while
being paid an entry-to-mid level salary, following
slow tranche increments to their salary.
For those going to school, they now have to deal
with overfilled classrooms--and a struggle to learn
all they could learn under a disadvantageous
situation.

So Many New Policies, So Little Time:
New Policies in Education
This past decade, the Philippine education system has been revamped via the K-12 Program, Academic Calendar Shift and the
implementation of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). In an attempt to address the inaccessibility of
education, the government enacted policies such as the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, CHED Student
Financial Assistance Program, and the Unified Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education Act.

A Quick Pivot to the Digital
Challenges in educating a populace under quarantine
This approach has three types of delivery modalities, depending on the
students’ available resources:
1. Online Distance Learning (ODL)
2. Modular Distance Learning (MDL)
3. Self-learning Module (TV/Radio-Based Instruction)
The Department of Education (DepEd) released DepEd Order No. 018 S.
2020 to implement “Distance Learning”
Implementation of Online Classes
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) released CHED Memorandum
Order No. 4 S. 2020 to implement “Flexible Learning”
Flexible learning was defined to be a learner-centered approach that is not
limited to online learning
Distance learning is remote learning between the student and teacher who
are far away from each other, and is also not limited to online learning

Access Denied, A Digital Divide
Difficulties in a distance learning scheme
In September 2020, Undersecretary Diosdado San
Antonio said printed modules will be rotated
among students.
Families who cannot afford Devices: In the
November 21-25 Social Weather Stations (SWS)
survey, it was 58% of enrolled Filipinos aged 5 to
20 years used devices for distance learning while

Mass Promotion
Some HEIs like Ateneo de Manila University suspended
online classes because of the threat of Covid-19 and gave
passing marks to all its eligible non-graduating students,
including those on probation.

Numerous college and graduate students were left with no choice but to
comply with the academic requirements that they needed to submit in
order to get passing grades
Mass promotion did not get the stamp of approval of most HEIs across the
country.
Students and teachers saw this as “education with compassion”

Quality Education as part of the
2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
(SDG)
September 2015
The Philippines, together with 192 other United Nations (UN)
member states, committed to achieving the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and their 169 targets by 2030.
March 2016
The national government through the National Economic and
