Reflection



       ICT IV, one of the very interesting subject. In more than 2 months of learnings I gained a lot of knowledge and realized that there are so many things that I can learn in this subject.
       The best thing that I had learned is blogging. This will serve as my own journal, and through this we can express our comments or reactions about any topic or issues. I think that this will serve as my bridge to the next quarter to discover new knowledge and to improve my skills in blogging. I am very thankful to our very dynamic teacher Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz because she open the door for us to learn, communicate well to others and always have discipline. I will apply all that I've learned in this quarter to next quarter.

“Kalamidad Paghandaan, Gutom at Malnutrisyon ay Agapan”

            Just recently, two tropical cyclones ravaged our country mercilessly. It seems that it is inevitable and natural for our country to suffer such natural calamities that causes the great loss of properties and lives.

            One of the manifestations of the onslaught of calamities is hunger and malnutrition especially those evacuees and direct victims. For instance, in Zamboanga City, after the siege cause  by muslim rebels, some of the evacuees died due to hunger and malnutrition cause by the lack of relief goods and good supply and it is grieving to know that majority of them are children.

            The question now is what could we do to confront this issues and problems, thus it cannot be prevented, as human individuals what could be done is to reduce the risk and mitigate the effect the effect of natural disasters through preparations. There are many ways to prepare for national disasters and it varies from one time to another as of one mentioned, one of the natural disasters are hunger and malnutrition. This can be prevented in many ways.

            Each family should always be aware and alert on natural disasters. For instance, they should constantly update themselves to weather forecast and alert issues by government agencies, LGU’s and news stations such as PAGASA, PHIVOCS, NDRRMC. Make sure also that there is always a stock of food supply and drinks, first aid kits and other medical supplies should always be prepared, local government units concerned government agencies shall have disaster plans that are sensitive to the people, well organized and systematic. Relief operations shall also be well-coordinated, relief goods shall contain foods that contain the necessary nutrients and minerals needed by the body to avoid lack of nutrition or nourishment. These are just some ways to prevent hunger and malnutrition during and after the onslaught of natural disasters.

            Every Filipino’s should know that Philippines is susceptible to natural disasters, hence, we shall always prepare and health is one of the main thing to always consider.
