President of the CAH Student Council, ANGELICA EUNICE MASCARINAS:

1. Knowing that we are still in the middle of the pandemic and majority of the programs and the
courses it offers within the College of Allied Health requires hands-on practice and training,
what do you think your fellow students within the college department can do to still effectively
learn and put all into practice even if we are all in the middle of a lockdown?

“Having online classes instead of face to face classes is not how we all envision our college lives
would be. Pero nagkaroon na nga po tayo ng pandemic, so we have to adjust ourselves. So, nung
nagkaroon po nung pandemic, what we did, or yung mga ginagawa po namin is that we used this
application na mayroon pong simulation, na kung saan po makikita pa rin or makikita parin po natin,
namin na mga estudyante kung ano po yung ginagawa sa actual laboratory. However, yung mga
ganitong application po, may bayad. So, what we do, or most of our classmates do, is that,
nagrerefer kami sa Youtube. Mas marami po kasing mga explanation, may mga madadaling
maintindihan. And this really helps sa pag-iintindi at pag-iimagine ng mga bagay-bagay na kailangan
na meron, na dapat equipped kami. The good thing about this is that meron na po kasing face-to-
face ang College of Allied Health na nasimulan po sa Department of Medical Technology. And I really
commend National University for pushing this because our programs are skill-based. So, hopefully
po, for the next school year, magkaroon na po tayo ng face-to-face sa buong College of Allied Health
because we train the future of health.”

2. Follow-up Question (in Q1) What are your thoughts about the currently limited face-to-face
classes of the Allied Health courses, specifically for the MedTech program?

“Again, I am really commending National University as I have said kanina kasi po as the first batch of K-
12 and Bachelor of BSMT Program in National University, the biggest fear I have now is to finish college
in this kind of set up and would end up incompetent. We are a skilled-based profession and having face-
to-face set up is a necessity for us. Thus, I really commend National University for this kind of set up.
Thank you very much.”

3. If given the chance, what do you think would be the impact of this leadership experience in your
path as a future healthcare worker?

“As a healthcare worker po, we have an organization. Hindi naman po isang tao lamang ang kumikilos sa
allied health or sa field ng allied health, so this experience will enable us to work with different kinds of
people. It would enable us to enhance the skills that are necessary for us to improve the healthcare that
we are going to become in the future”

 4. What dilemmas and problems with regards to the curriculum, and other academical problems
do you think the students in your college department are currently facing? What do you think
you can do for it to be given a resolution?

5. What steps do you plan on taking in order to synthesize what projects or services are urgently
needed and equally important to improve the current status of the College of Architecture
student body?

“To that matter, nasagot ko ‘yan sa mga platforms ko to be honest, and the number one I think is the
very important, is the “Shoutout!”, na sinabi ko kanina. This is equally important na mas lalo nating
dapat marinig ‘yung boses ng mga estudyante lalo na ngayon na, hindi talaga, mahirap mag-reach out sa
mga professor, sa mga faculty about sa mga problems na when it comes to academic, and sa mga
payments. Ayan, sobrang daming nagrereklamo talaga d’yan, and mahihirapan silang mag-reach out
para maayos ‘yung mga problems nila. Para sa akin, ‘yung shout out is the most important thing lalo na
ngayon, and the second is the information dissemination; lalo na sobrang hirap mag-disseminate ng
information, lalo na kung hindi accessible sa lahat ‘yung platform na ginagamit natin like sa Facebook;
although lahat tayo mayroong account d’yan, sabihin nating meron tayong account d’yan. Usually, hindi
naman natin alam kung saan ‘yung ibang estudyante naka-reside ngayon given na nag-lockdown nga,
‘yung iba nasa province so nahihirapan silang mag-reach, i-reach ng information na ‘yun. So para sa akin,
‘yun ‘yung pangalawang dapat importante; and ‘yung pangatlo is ‘yung mga events na dapat na nagni-
nurture lalo sa mga estudyante na mag-excel pa lalo and ma-recognize ‘yung effort nila in these trying
times kasi nga, aminin man natin sa hindi, aatake talaga ang pandemics on our mental health. So para sa
akin, ‘yung mga events na gagawin namin is for the development of everyone in architecture. That’s all.
Thank you.”
