Unit Title 2
CITIZENSHIP TRAINING
Title of the Lesson Philippine Flag and the Heraldic Code

Duration 1.5 Hours
INTRODUCTION:
The module emphasizes utmost respect for the National Flag and anthem at
all times and other national symbols that embody national ideals and traditions. The
module promotes value to inculcate in the minds and hearts of our people.
The Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines prescribes how the national
flag should be used and displayed, the delivery of the national anthem, as well as the
reminders of what should be observed during a flag ceremony. All these projects how
a citizen shows his love, respect, and honor to our country and the national flag.
OBJECTIVES:
1. recognize the proper use and display of the national flag.

2. apply the different concepts learned from ra 8491.
3. instill patriotism among themselves and serve as role models to the citizenry.
Placing of the National Flag.
∙ Vertical
∙ Horizontal
∙ On top (ex. Casket)
∙ (Note: white triangular part of the flag is placed on top of the head part, the
blue stripe on the right, and red stripe on the left.)
∙ Folded flag on top of an open casket. Flag folding.
∙ Perform flag folding.
Delivery of the following:
∙ National Anthem
∙ Pledge to the flag
ANALYSIS:
Often whenever the national anthem is being played or sung, we could still
observe some of our fellow citizens go about their way, as if an ordinary song is
being played or sung by a group of people. We have also watched some of our
countrymen being interviewed and asked to sing the national anthem on television
mostly on documentary shows, some of these people being interviewed tend to
forget the lyrics in the middle of the song, some tends to replace the lyrics of their
choice and makes fun of their mistakes, while some simply do not know how to sing
or perform the national anthem and what must be observed like the outmost respect
for the flag whenever performing the national anthem.
Is it about being uneducated? Or Neglect that we simply do not
care?. (Let's get a paper...)
Share your thoughts on this matter.

Title of the Lesson The Nature of Drugs and Drug Abuse
Duration 1 Hour
INTRODUCTION:
If morphine were the only substance of abuse and one of chronic, compulsive
use was the only kind of violence, discussion of addiction may be a simple matter.
But opium isn't the only abuse drug, and there are probably as many kinds of abuse
as there are drugs to be abused or, indeed, as there may be abusers.
Different drugs are used in so many different waysby so many other people
for so many other reasons that no one view or interpretation could accept all the
medical, behavioral, sociological, economic, psychological, religious, cultural, ethical,
and legal aspects which have a significant impact on addiction.
Prejudice and ignorance led to thelabelingwhen misused, of all use of non
sanctioned drugs as addictions and as narcotics. The continuing trend of viewing
addiction as a single entity is determined by tradition and statute, not by addiction
truth.
OBJECTIVES:
1. define drug addiction as continuing compulsive use of drugs amid documented
adverse health or social consequences.
2. comprehend how drug addiction can co-occur with various forms of mental
disorders.
3. explain the connection between drug use and other deviant behaviors.
LESSON PROPER:
ANALYSIS
What is a drug?
A drug is a chemical substance that influences the function of living cells and
alters the body or mental processes when taken into the body or applied through the
skin.
How are drugs taken?
∙ Ingestion
∙ Inhalation
44 | P a g e
∙ Injection
∙ Used as suppository
∙ Applied topically
What is addiction?
Addiction isn't limited to alcohol and drugs. People may be addicted to many
items, like food, gambling, shopping, or any of the items that hinder a
healthylifestyle. When things come out of control, and people act compulsively, no
matter what the consequences.
When the individual is no longer in control of their life, they become addicted
regardless of the triggering mechanism. The addiction can take over the entire life of
one person.
What is drug addiction?
Drug addiction or dependence is a state of compulsive use of psychoactive

substances (drugs, narcotics, and chemicals). Use continues despite negative
consequences (social, emotional, or physical harm; they may cause the user.) Drugs
are addictive and differ from substance to person. Similarly, a person who is
predisposed to addiction psychologically or genetically is much more likely to
become addicted.
Drug addiction has two forms: physical dependency and psychological

dependency. Physical dependency occurs when a drug or substance is regularly
used, and the body becomes accustomed to its effects. Then the addict must
continue to use the drug to feel normal since his absence will trigger withdrawal
symptoms. Psychological dependencycomes when a drug is used regularly, and
the mind has become emotionally dependent on its influence, either feeling pleasure
or relieving pain. It does not feel able to function without it. Its absence gives rise to
intense cravings, often brought on or magnified with stress. An addict may have
either aspect of dependence but usually has both.
When are drugs harmful?

Any drug that is taken excessively can be harmful. Certain drugs can also be
harmful if taken in dangerous combinations or ordinary or even small amounts by a
hypersensitive (allergic) person.
Why do people turn to drugs?
Reasons are ranging from the following:
1. Medicines can solve problems.

2. Widespread access to various drugs.
3. Peer pressure.
4. The notion that drugs give enjoyment to users and in the context
that is used as an alcohol substitute.
What is drug abuse?
Drug abuse is the use of a licit or illicit chemical substance, which results in
45 | P a g e
physical, mental, or social impairment of an individual. It can apply to any of the
practices which follow.
1. Usage of useful drugs which can modify mood or actions without profit or
prescription;
2. Use of medicines and substances for a reason other than the one for which
the medication was prescribed; andUsage of drugs and chemicals for reasons other
than science that have novalid medical application. Are there products other than
drugs ever abused?
Substances such as glue, paint thinners, fuel, and other toxic (breathable)
solvents contain dangerous chemicals. They should be licensed and carefully used.
Common causes of Drug Abuse
a. Unhappy home, parents are showing no interest in their children.

b. Lack of parental values and guidance.
c. Domestic violence, whether verbal or physical.
d. Parents who make free use of alcohol and illegal drugs.
e. Peer pressure/encouragement.
f. Curiosity or desire to experience.
g. Escape from mental and physical pain; relief from boredom and frustration;
h. Desires to escape from harsh realities.
i. Weak personality, the common sense of self – esteem and self – worth.
Effects of Drug Abuse
1. Malnutrition. Drug addicted lives revolve around the misuse of drugs. They
miss their regular meals, losing their appetite.
2. Panic Reaction. Loss of thought processes may trigger panic reactions or an
invulnerability feeling. Both states can result in injury and death, and the
prolonged harmful reactions include anxiety and depressive condition,
breaking with the reality that can last from a couple of days to months.
3. Physical Damage. Besides, these illnesses, which involve unsterile syringes
and injected medications, may cause some medical problems. It may be
damage to the liver and kidneys when capturing overall qualities. Most
individuals who misuse drugs neglect personal hygiene, which can contribute
to other health issues. Kidney failure, tuberculosis, severe weight loss, a
deficit in vitamins are some of the adverse physical complications.
Drug Abuse Preventing Measure
1. Exhaust all communication channels; talk to people you trust; get free to open
up and share your emotions and concerns.
2. Learn how to cope with negative emotions by using sport, music, meditation,
and prayer as relaxation forms;
3. Expand your horizons by seeking new interests, meeting new people, visiting
new places, and incorporating new experiences into yourself.
4. Allow yourself the chance to be everything you can be by finding and
46 | P a g e
developing your personality.
5. Develop family relationships; aim to build balanced, safe family life and content.
Parents should lead a good example; educate their kids, and teach essential
information about drug use. Establish a drug awareness program to teach the
school's students about the risks of drug violence.
6. Local leaders will coordinate and run programs to disseminate information to
prevent drug abuse. Organize a social and leisure initiative which will act as a
meaningful alternative to drug abuse.
7. Partner with officials to apprehend identified drug pushers and disrupt the
community-based drug base network.
8. Helping drug users in treatment and rehabilitation.
9. Implement a direct, sincere, quick action, and hands-on approach to the
government to address the growing menace of drug abuse.

Title of the Lesson Classification of Commonly Abused Drugs
Duration 1 Hour
INTRODUCTION:
Drugs are categorized in varying ways. Drugs are classified in the
pharmaceutical industry according to their chemical activity or the diseases they
treat. There are many reasons for classifying drugs, ranging from understanding the
utility of specific drugs to formulating treatment plans based on chemically similar
drugs.
Both illegal and legal drugs have chemicals that can alter the way your body
and mind works. They can send you a pleasurable "high" ease your stress or escape
life problems.
Objectives/Competencies
At the end of this lesson, you are supposed to:
∙ identify types of drugs and their effects on humans;
∙ recognize short- and long-term effects on the body of the drugs; and ∙
show anti-drug awareness by making a poster on the substance use
effects;
ANALYSIS
It is helpful to distinguish drugs by chemical similarity, as chemically related

drugs may have similar impacts and dangers. A person addicted to a drug is also
more likely to abuse and become addicted to another drug when it is chemically
identical. The same treatment for chemically related drugs is also often successful.
Despite these generalities, chemically similar drugs may have very different legal and
medical effects. Most people identify substances according to how they affect the
body and the mind. Some medications, for example, appear to make a user active
and anxious while others make a person feel comfortable and calm. Many of these
classifications of drugs have no basis in chemical similarities or legal outcomes,
though they also overlap.
Many nations have a framework for the lawful labeling of drugs. Such
frameworks specify, if any, the conditions in which that substance is lawful, specific
criteria for that substance, and any legal penalties connected with possession, sale,
or manufacture of it. Standard classifications are usually based on a drug's perceived
medical benefit and perceived harm and danger. There is significant debate, even
among experts, about how drugs should be categorized. It means that the same drug
can be categorized differently under two methods, or two systems can use the
same-name classification. It's challenging to establish a "definitive" set of drug
classifications because of these differences. There are five different kinds of drugs in
48 | P a g e
the field of illegal and abused drug use. Everyone has a collection of features,
consequences, dangers, and side effects. Some of the most common, though, are
listed below.
1. Depressants – known as "downers," drugs that act on and depress the
central nervous system causing initial relaxation that leads to sleep and
drowsiness.
a. Alcohol - specifically ethyl alcohol, the main ingredient of all
alcoholic drinks. Some liquor brands such as gin, whiskey, brandy,
Pilsen, and rum are favored to achieve the desired effect among
alcoholics or trouble drinkers. It is the most common substance
used during adolescence, which alters the mind.
EFFECTS:
The effects of alcohol can vary from mild, such as skin

flushing, to more severe symptoms such as lowering inhibitions
leading to poor social judgment, concentration problems, loss of
coordination, lack of critical judgment, particularly vision dulled
perception, mood swings, decreased core body temperature,
elevated blood pressure, passing out, and vomiting. Too much
drinking can lead to chronic physical and mental health problems.
Heavy drinking may cause or lead to liver damage, heart disease,
and multiple cancers. Long-term consequences of heavy drinking
may include loss of memory, lack of attention span, learning
disabilities, alcoholic hepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, steatosis (i.e., fatty
liver), cancer (throat, mouth, larynx, breast, kidney, colorectal or
esophageal), high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy, stroke, and
irregular heartbeat.
b. Sedative-hypnotics – most often referred to as mild tranquilizers,
including barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Such medications are
used in the treatment of epilepsy, insomnia, and anxiety.
EFFECTS:
The effects of using sedatives may closely resemble those of

alcohol. In addition to the calming effects they desire, sedative use
can cause: drowsiness, dizziness and confusion, coordination and
memory disturbances, slower heart rate and breathing, which can
be worsened if combined with alcohol, increased risk of falls and
injuries, worsening of symptoms of depression and anxiety,
impaired attention and judgment, mood fluctuations and
inappropriate behavior, risk of dependency and addiction, and risk
of death from overdose, either deliberate or accidental.
2. Narcotics - known as "opiates or opioids," is opium-derived drugs and their
derivatives. These medicinal drugs relieve pain, suppress cough, reduce
bowel movement, and induce psychological indifference.
a. Opium – coagulated opium poppy juice used formerly as a pain
reliever but replaced with morphine and codeine.
49 | P a g e
Program) EFFECTS:
Short term effects can include euphoria, relaxation, analgesia,

slower shallower breathing, lower heart rate, impaired reflexes,
temporary constipation, loss of appetite. Regular use of opium may
cause: tolerance-having to use more to achieve the same result,
irregular periods, and difficulty of having children, lack of sex drive,
constipation, opium dependence.
b. Phenanthrene alkaloids - used as suppressants of analgesics and
cough.
c. Morphine – opium's primary alkaloid occurs in a crystalline white
base and is marketed as tablets and injectable solutions.
EFFECTS:
Morphine may cause side effects. Drowning, pain, and
cramps in the stomach, dry mouth, headache, nervousness,
changes in mood, difficulty urinating, or pain when urinating.
Specific side effects can be severe. Blue or purple skin color,
changes in heartbeat, restlessness, hallucinations (seeing things or
hearing voices that do not exist), fever, sweating, confusion, rapid
heartbeat, shivering, severe muscle stiffness or twitching, loss of
coordination, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea), nausea, vomiting, loss
of appetite, weakness, or dizziness, inability to get or keep an
erection, irregular menstruation, decreased sexual desire, seizures,
extreme drowsiness, fainting, chest pain, fever, swelling of the eyes,
hives, rash, itching, face, mouth, lips or throat, heaviness, and
breathing or swallowing difficulties.
d. Codeine – an alkaloid that was extracted from morphine and used

as an analgesic mild.
EFFECTS:
Using Codeine, as with any prescription, comes with its side

effects; these include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and stomach
pain, vomiting, constipation, sweating, mild itching, rashes, dry
mouth, flushing, nervousness, shakiness, vertigo, weakness.
Despite it being weaker than other pain relievers, and many falsely
assuming they can‘t be addicted to it, someone can overdose on
Codeine. Symptoms of overdose include: bluish lips or skin, chest
pain or nausea, tightness, pinpoint or small pupils, decreased
sensitivity or responsiveness, intense sleepiness or unusual
drowsiness, sluggish or erratic heartbeat, drowsiness or fatigue,
confusion, dizziness or lightheadedness, breathing problems,
respiratory failure, cold and clammy skin, stomach and intestinal
spasms, constipation, low blood pressure, and weakened pulse and
unresponsiveness or coma.
e. Heroine – white crystalline narcotics synthesized from morphine and
used as a suppressant for coughing.
50 | P a g e
Program) EFFECTS:
The short-term effects will deviate slightly based on the method

of delivery to the system. Still, the most common immediate
analgesic (pain-relieving) and depressing effects of the central
nervous system are a "rush," which is a sharp increase in euphoric
feelings, feelings of warmth and flushing during a "rush," heavy
sensation in the extremities, reduced feelings of pain, drowsiness,
sedation, and lethargy. Long-term symptoms include poor teeth,
gum inflammation, constipation, cold sweats, itching, immune
system weakening, coma, respiratory (breathing) disorders, muscle
fatigue, partial paralysis, reduced sexual capability and long-term
impotence in men, menstrual disruption in women, failure to achieve
orgasm (women and men), memory loss and intellectual efficiency,
introversion, depression, facial pustules, lack of appetite and
insomnia.
3. Stimulants – drugs used to stimulate alertness, boost mood, increase speech,
mental and motor activity, alleviate tiredness or boredom, and decrease
appetite.
a. Amphetamine – a colorless liquid with an acrid taste and a mild
odor that stimulates the central nervous system considerably. This
illicit drug most commonly used in the United States.
EFFECTS:
They cause increased alertness and somewhat a false sense
of well-being. The short-term negative effects include paranoia,
hallucinations, aggressive behavior, insomnia, acne, and sores.
Longer-term effects include dependence, resulting in fatal kidney
and lung disorders, possible brain damage, and possible heart
stroke.
b. Methamphetamine hydrochloride – known as "shabu," is a white,

odorless crystalline powder with a bitter taste, considered the
Philippines' most abused stimulant. The abusers administer it by
injection, inhalation, sniffing, or ingestion through the body.
EFFECTS:
Dangerous effects on the user are feelings of irritability, fear,

anxiety, and loss of appetite leading to loss of weight.
Schizophrenia, split personality resulting in violent behavior,
hallucinations leading to paranoid psychosis, resulting in violent
aggression.
c. Ecstasy – a synthetic drug similar to amphetamine colored white,
yellow, or brown with a bitter taste and comes in the form of tablets,
capsules, or powders in various styles and shapes.
EFFECTS:
51 | P a g e
Positive effects described by users include an overwhelming

feeling of wellbeing, increased confidence, and the desire to be next
to and in physical contact with other people. It‘s also known to
produce insomnia, depression, and paranoia after the high has worn
off. Users are usually sensation- seeking and sexually aggressive.
The long-term deleterious effect of ecstasy, according to the
government agency, is that it harms serotonin neurons in the brain.
d. Cocaine – known as "coke," alkaloids are derived from coca plant

leaves, commonly used in minor surgery as local anesthetics, one
of the shortest and most potent stimulants. A cheap, readily
available type of smokable cocaine is known as crack.
EFFECTS:
The drug reportedly provides intense feelings of pleasure,

making the user feel euphoric, energetic, talkative, and mentally
alert. Physical symptoms include accelerated heartbeat, pulse rate
and breathing, and higher blood pressure and body temperature.
Large quantities (several hundred milligrams or more) intensify the
"high" user, but can also lead to behavior that is erratic, aggressive,
and violent. It is known to be addictive, and death from a cocaine
overdose can occur from convulsions, heart failure, and it can
damage the mucous membranes when snorted. Hollywood
celebrities and western rock start commonly use this drug.
e. Caffeine – the active ingredient in coffee, tea, cola drinks, used to

constrict the blood flow and as a cure for headaches, diuretics, and
extreme asthma care.
EFFECTS:
Caffeine has multiple effects on metabolism in your body. It

activates the central nervous system, which can help you feel
awake more and give you an energy boost. It is a diuretic, which
means that urinating further helps the body eliminate excess salt
and water. Increases acid production in your stomach, sometimes
leading to an upset stomach or heartburn. It can interfere with
calcium absorption in the body. Its blood pressure rises.
It is not dangerous for most people to consume as much as 400
mg of caffeine a day. When you consume or drink too much
caffeine, it may cause health issues like; restlessness and
shakiness, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, fast or irregular heart
rate, fatigue, anxiety, and dependence, so you'll need to take more
for achieving the same results.
f. Nicotine – a poisonous alkaloid that is an active ingredient in tobacco
and cigarettes. Extracted from tobacco leaves, it is colorless but
quickly turns brown when exposed to sunlight. It has a burning,
acrid flavor.
52 | P a g e
EFFECTS:
Nicotine causes a variety of effects on the body and mind,

including reduced appetite, increased mood, increased bowel
activity, increased saliva and phlegm production, increased heart
rate, increased blood pressure, sweating, nausea, diarrhea,
improved memory, and increased alertness.
4. Hallucinogens – known as "psychedelics," a collection of natural or synthetic
psychoactive substances that create a shift in the state of consciousness that
triggers reactions, including perceptual alterations. They create hallucinations
or visions in the form of shapes and changes of color in the appearance of the
outside world, which progress in replacing the actual reality with imaginary
beings and landscapes in extreme cases.
a. Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) – a fungal-derived crystalline
material that infects wheat or rye. Well known and most potent
hallucinogen in the form of tablets, gelatin, or impregnated paper
took orally.
EFFECTS:
The physical effects of LSD from person to person are

unpredictable. Typically, the drug's first effects are felt 30 to 45
minutes after it is taken by mouth, peak at 2 to 4 hours, and can last
for 12 hours or more. Use the intravenous (IV) path can result in a
much more rapid intervention, usually within 10 minutes. Some
effects are hallucinations, distorted visual awareness of shapes,
colors, altered sounds, anxiety and depression, hallucinations (a
return from the "trip" experience) days or months later, rapid heart
rate, elevated body temperature, and high blood pressure, and
dilated pupils.
Significant mood changes can occur. The medicine causes
delusions and visual hallucinations when taken in large enough
doses. Overdose can cause severe psychosis. Death is often
caused by a direct injury when under the influence of LSD; no
known lethal dose of LSD is present. The physical symptoms may
also include nausea, loss of appetite, elevated blood sugar,
sleeping problems, dry mouth, tremors, and seizures.
b. Mescaline – known as "STP," a product extracted from peyote
cactus dried tops.
EFFECTS:
Within 1-2 hours, mescaline effects tend to move hold. These

effects will vary significantly, based on the dose taken, other
ingested drugs, external stimuli, individual mental health and
stability, personality traits, history of drugs, etc. However, in general,
mescaline may have physical effects: increased body temperature,
heart rate increased, pupils dilated, shaking,
53 | P a g e
dizziness, heavy sweating, flushed skin, lack of coordination,

vomiting and nausea, loss of appetite.
Mescaline's psychological effects may include: altered vision
and perception of colors and sound, altered body perception in
space and time, extreme visual images, intense emotions (e.g.,
anxiety, fear, joy, etc.), details preoccupation, lost sense of reality,
and inability to focus or focus.
c. Psilocybin – a mushroom-ingested hallucinogenic agent to achieve
its effect close to LSD and STP.
EFFECTS:
The psilocybin effects are usually similar to the LSD effects.

These include altered time and space perception and extreme shifts
in mood and feeling. Possible impacts of psilocybin include
euphoria, peacefulness, spiritual awakening, rapidly shifting
feelings, derealization or the sensation that the world is not real,
depersonalization, or a dreamlike sense of disengagement from the
surroundings, altered perception, visual alteration, and distortion,
such as light halos and bright colors, dilated pupils, dizziness,
drowsiness, poor focus, muscle fatigue, lack of coordination,
unusual body sensations, nausea, anxiety, confusion, frightening
hallucinations, vomiting, and yawning.
Psilocybin's effects vary among people based on variations in
the user's mental state and temperament, and the immediate
environment. Whether the recreational user has mental health
issues or is reluctant to use the hallucinogen, they face a greater
negative experience. Psychological distress is the adverse event
most often reported after the recreational use of psilocybin. At short
notice, this distress can take the form of severe anxiety or
psychosis.
d. Phencyclidine (PCP) – considered threatening and highly
dangerous drugs because it can be easily synthesized with no
human medical purpose but used by veterinarians as anesthetic
and animal sedative.
EFFECTS:
Here is a list of dissociative drug effects in general:

Low to moderate doses: loss of coordination, disorientation,
confusion, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, numbness, changes in
sensory perception, hallucinations, feelings of detachment from
oneself and the environment, increased blood pressure, increased
heart rate, rapid breathing rate, increased body temperature.
Higher Doses: hallucinations, loss of memory, physical pain,
marked psychological distress, intense panic or fear, anxiety,
hysteria, invulnerability, excessive force, violence.
54 | P a g e
Aside from the general effects described above, PCP users can
become highly aggressive or abusive, and may experience
schizophrenia-like psychotic symptoms.
e. Marijuana – known as cannabis, a moderate hallucinogenic product
extracted from crushed leaves, flowering tops, and stems of the
"cannabis Sativa" hemp plant. In Central Asia and China, they
typically smoked or eaten for pleasure in juicing and folk medicine.
EFFECTS:
Users describe the feeling of smoking marijuana as relaxed,

happy, and generally having a gay mood. Some say it enhances
tense feelings, intense situations, and others say it makes them fall
asleep. Studies suggest a risk of developing throat or lung cancer
from smoking cannabis resin by itself. There has been some
indication that people smoking the plant regularly become
dependent and show symptoms of impaired judgment, memory, and
comprehension when they try to quit.
5. Inhalants – substances that are not usually considered to be medicinal

products but have great potential for misuse. They are inhaled or sniffed to
produce a state of intoxication for their psychoactive (mind/mood-altering)
effects. The effects can be felt instantly and last for 45 minutes, and the
central nervous system becomes depressed. It includes the class of volatile
hydrocarbons such as glue (rugby), gasoline, kerosene (gas), paint thinner,
and solvent, nail polish and cuticle remover, lighter fluid, and fluorocarbons
such as aerosol sprays, nasal sprays, and organic isoamyl nitrite (popper).

Title of the Lesson The National Drug Situation
Duration 1 Hour
INTRODUCTION:
All of us are very much aware of the nature of the drug problem. The
government has condemned it worldwide, and billions in resources have been spent
to contain it, yet drug trafficking and drug abuse are still here.
In the country, the drug situation may have similarities with other countries.
There are, however, often distinct issues in the country that may need different
solutions. So, it is crucial to look closely at the drug situation in the country.
OBJECTIVES:
1. describe the drug scenario in the Philippines.
2. understand the history of the war on drugs from the national perspective.
3. define and discuss drug trafficking.
56 | P a g e
ANALYSIS
National Drug Situation
The Philippines' situation is no different from other countries globally, which

are affected by the drug problem and are following the trends in other countries.
Today's most profitable underground business that has spawned, yet regarded as
another crime and a global source of money laundering. The Vienna-based
International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) points out that "No country, rich or poor,
large or small, equipped with or without sophisticated machinery to counter money
laundering, can find itself safe from money laundering activities.
The Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) is the government agency enacted to

formulate policies on illicit drugs in the Philippines. A 2015 nationwide survey
conducted by the DDB revealed that there are 1.8 million current drug users (people
who have used addictive drugs within January 1, 2015 until February 5, 2016) in the
Philippines, while 4.8 million Filipinos report that they have used illegal drugs at least
once in their lives.
The most common drug in the Philippines is variant methamphetamine called

shabu or "poor man's cocaine." According to the report from the United Nations in
2012, the Philippines had the highest rate of methamphetamine abuse among East
Asian countries; methamphetamine users were approximately 2.2 percent of Filipinos
aged 16–64.
The drug problem in the Philippines was viewed primarily as an issue of law
enforcement and criminality, and the government focused on implementing a policy
of criminalization and punishment. It is evidenced by the fact that the Duterte
government has used punitive measures since the start of the "war on drugs" and
has nationally mobilized the Philippine National Police (PNP) and local government
units. The law enforcement agents have been engaged in extensive door-to-door
operations with orders from the President. The campaign is widely supported by
Filipinos. Results from a Pulse Asia survey conducted in September 2017 showed
that 88% of Filipinos support the drug war. As of 2019, a Social Weather Stations
(SWS) poll found out that 82% remains satisfied with the administration‘s campaign
against illegal drugs.
Drug Trafficking
Illegal drug trafficking or drug trafficking is a global black market dedicated to

cultivating, producing, distributing, and selling drugs subject to drug prohibition laws.
Most jurisdictions prohibit drug prohibition laws to trade many types of drugs, except
under license.
In 2018, the (PDEA) or Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency noted a

significant increase in drug trafficking incidents involving express foreign delivery and
domestic courier services.
PDEA Director-General Aaron Aquino said Tuesday that the number of illegal
drugs intercepted via courier services increased to 35, rising 775 percent from four in
2017.
57 | P a g e
Mail and parcel ban operations at airports and seaports in 2018 resulted in the
arrest of 11 consignees and 94.67 kg seizure of shabu,1,109.5 grams of marijuana
kush, hybrid marijuana with an estimated total market value of PHP672,161,877.88
and 16,713 pieces of ecstasy tablets. "Smuggling dangerous drugs through courier
services is one of the modus/means used by drug syndicates to secure the country's
supply of illicit drugs,"Aquino said in a statement.
"Out of the prohibition operations carried out, 27 were the interception of

packages containing illegal drugs originating in California, USA," he added.
Aquino attributed the increase in drug-laden parcels interception to PDEA

personnel's enhanced capacity to detect them.
PDEA agents assigned to airports and seaports underwent X-ray cargo

screening training undertaken by the Transportation Security Office.
"They conduct regular K9 sweeping and screening parcels on all cargo

terminals nationwide," he said.
PDEA has also established three Airport Interdiction Units, three International
Airport Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Groups, and 12 Seaport Interdiction Units
at its regional office to stop drug smuggling using vulnerable seaports and airports
across the country.
The estimated total market value of illegal drugs since 2015, hidden inside
packages which were intercepted by PDEA, supported by local law enforcement
agencies and foreign counterparts, amounted to PHP966,257,517.88.
"PDEA remains vigilant in securing interception of packages containing illegal

drugs and retained from delivery," the PDEA chief said, thanking courier service
providers for their participation in the successful interception of contrabands.

Title of the Lesson Drug Law Enforcement Agencies
Duration 1 Hour
INTRODUCTION:
Law enforcement is one of today's most challenging occupations. You need to
provide the community with a high standard of quality and protection and be more
vigilant than ever in monitoring and accountability for operating equipment and
property and facts. A lot is riding on every decision and action, and there‘s a lot to
lose.
Certainty applies not only to the officers who rely on the equipment they need
to do the job but also to the courts and others dependent on a strong custody chain
regarding forensics and the management of evidence.
Objectives/Competencies
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
∙ discuss the functions and jurisdictions of drug law enforcement

agencies;
∙ cite penalties against drug abuse; and
∙ recognize CHED and TESDA 's roles and obligations in the prevention of
substance abuse;
ANALYSIS
Concretizes the government‘s ―intensive and unrelenting campaign against

the trafficking and use of dangerous drugs and other similar substances through an
integrated system of planning, implementation, and enforcement of anti-drug abuse
policies, programs, and projects.‖ Republic act 1965 was approved on 7 June 2002
when the President signed it. It is an act instituting the Comprehensive Dangerous
Drugs Act of 2002, repealing Republic Act No. 6425, also known as the Dangerous
Drugs Act of 1972.
It also serves as a guide in the implementation of dangerous drug prevention

and control in the country. It leads us in the best path to drug-oriented problems.
Republic Act NO. 9165
Section 2. Declaration of Policy – It is the policy of the State to safeguard

the integrity of its territory and the well-being of its citizenry, particularly the youth,
from the harmful effects of dangerous drugs on their physical and mental wee-being,
and to defend the same against acts or omissions detrimental to their development
and preservation. In view of the foregoing, the State needs to enhance further the
efficacy of the law against dangerous drugs; it is one of today‘s more serious social
ills.
59 | P a g e
It is further declared the policy of the state to provide effective mechanisms or
measures to re-integrate into society individuals who have fallen victims to drug
abuse or dangerous drug dependence through sustainable programs of treatment
and rehabilitation.
Drug Law Enforcement Agencies
1. The Dangerous Drugs Board

This body was created by Republic Act No. 6925 to exercise
administrative control and supervision over all agencies and establishments
dealing with drugs. As such, its issues implementing rules and regulations and
administrative policies and programs for implementation by all operating drug
law enforcement bodies. Apart from this, it conducts scientific researches
ondrugs, including strategic studies on the perpetration of illegal drug
activities. It is also the sole repository of all confiscated drugs when no longer
needed as evidence in court.
2. Philippine National Police – Drug Enforcement Agency

This is original; the Philippine constabulary Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU)
activated in 1972 to enforce all laws on drugs and harmonize, supervise and
coordinate anti-narcotic activities. It became the primary operating arm of the
PNP in the illegal drug campaign. Today, the PDEA Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency spearheaded the campaigns against illegal drug dealers
and users.
3. National Drug Law Enforcement & Prevention Coordinating Center
(NDLEPCC)
This was created under the office of the president by virtue of Executive
Order No. 61 signed on January 15, 1999. It is tasked to conduct extensive
strategic researchers and studies on illegal drugs, the perpetrators, the
victims, and the areas affected and monitor development. It provides direction
and coordination between and among the different government agencies
dealing with illegal drugs. Since its creation, it has launched the project
―MAD‖ or MamamayanAyawsaDroga (Citizens against Drugs), a multi
sectoral anti-drug movement that calls on people from all walks life to be
aware of the ill-effects of drugs.
4. Philippine Center on Transnational Crime (PCTC)
The Philippine Center on Transnational Crime (PCTC) is an agency
founded by Executive Order No. 62 on January 15, 1999, under the office of
the President. It is a center for strategic researches and studies on
transnational crime, transnational criminals, and syndicates. Drug trafficking is
included in its mandate, but the extent of its jurisdiction is limited only on the
transnational character of the menace to include drug importation and
exportation; foreign nationals involved in the illegal drugs trade to and from
the Philippines, and their mode of operation.
5. National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is the investigative arm of
60 | P a g e
the Department of Justice. It has investigative jurisdiction over a violation of
national laws and statutes.It also offers cooperative services to other law
enforcement agencies, such as fingerprinting and other laboratory
examinations and the apprehension of criminals and the filing of cases in
courts.
Penalties Against Drug Abuse

Title of the The Youth and Government’s Response to the DrugProble Lesson 1
Hour
INTRODUCTION:
By the turn of the 21st century, substance abuse has taken an alarming
proportion in the country. "Shabu" (local methamphetamine name) has become the
number one abuse substance, followed by marijuana and inhalants. The abuse of
legal substances like nicotine and alcohol continue to be worrisome. A 1996 survey
conducted by the University of the Philippines Population Institute found that the
initial age use of cigarettes, alcohol, and narcotics was 16-17 years of age, 40% of
males surveyed were smoking, and 37% of young people regularly used alcohol. At
present, more than 1.5 million Filipinos are users of illegal drugs. The youth are
especially challenging. They are the most significant number of drug users. Among
them are more than 350,000 identified high school students in the country; one can
only speculate on the number of young people abusing drugs not identified.
OBJECTIVES:
1. address youth and policy approaches to drug problems;

2. recognize some ways of saying no to the drugs; and
3. obtain effective means of delivering civic welfare training to students and
parents in dealing with drug issues.
ANALYSIS
Various activities, to date, are initiated and are aimed to produce the following
effects on young people:
1. lessen violent behavior;

2. increase pro-social behavior and decrease negative, self-destructive behavior;
3. enhancing the ability to plan and choosing appropriate approaches to
problems;
4. improve self-image and self-awareness;
5. improve social and emotional adjustment;
6. improve the handling of interpersonal issues and coping with anxiety;
7. improve constructive conflict resolution with peers; and
8. improve self-control.
The Dangerous Drugs Board initiated the 'Barkada Kontra Droga' (or 'Peers
Against Drugs') initiative in early 2004. Drug abuse prevention is the specific thrust of
this program.
This concept tries to change the meaning of the word ―barkada‖ or ―peer,‖
which connotes a negative influence among peers. Each member of the ―Barkada
64 | P a g e
Kontra Droga‖ pledges to keep his community and family safe and secure from the
evils of illegal drugs. Further, he asked to commit to convince friends and relatives to
join the fight against drugs and trafficking, never to use drugs, and to report
clandestine laboratories, pushers, and users.
Legislation to Control Illicit Drugs
1. 1972: Creation of the Dangerous Drugs Act.

2. 2002: Implementation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act; 3.
2002: Creation of a Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA). 4. 2002:
Creation of an Integrated Drug Abuse Data Information Network (IDADIN)
to monitor the use/abuse of drugs.
Government Response to the Problem
1. Preventative education programs to dissuade users or potential users from

experimenting with illegal drugs and/or continuing to use them.
2. Treatment and rehabilitation programs aimed at facilitating abstinence.
3. Intensified campaigns against illegal drugs and trafficking.
4. Judicial and legislative measures.
5. National, regional, and international collaboration to fight illegal drug trafficking
and dangerous drug violence.
6. Some Philippine political figures are talked about drug testing for outsourcing
call center workers. Others call for university students to be tested, and the
government is currently considering drug testing for all government staff.
7. (DIAL) or Drug Information and Action Line were created to accept drug abuse
reports and complaints and provide support to the public in drug related
situations. Ten (10) Ways to Say “No” to Drugs
1. Just say "No," be vocal, and mean it!

2. Project an image for yourself of living clean.
3. Get into sports.
4. Choose your friends and influence them positively.
5. Get involved in community-based projects.
6. Join the organization (church, school, community, or social) or youth clubs or
form your drama group.
7. Learn how to manage stress.
8. Join seminars on anti-drug abuse prevention.
9. Talk with family, listen to brothers' and sisters' problems.
10.Improve your talents or skills by participating in workshops, training, or
seminars.
Community Leaders’ Advocacy to Prevent Drug Abuse
a. Plan and implement social action programs involving young people, civic
groups, professionals, and religious organizations to improve community life.
The following activities must be implemented in the community:
∙ Parent Education Programs
∙ Recreational, Social, and Sports Programs
∙ Vocational/Skills Development and Training Programs
∙ Youth Development Program
65 | P a g e
∙ Seminar on Drug Education
b. Participate and assist in the implementation of Republic Act 6425, also known
as the dangerous Drug Act of 1872 by:
∙ motivating known drug abusers to undergo treatment and rehabilitation; ∙
reporting drug pushers, drug den maintainers, and drug traffickers to the
law enforcement agencies;
∙ encouraging and encouraging the creation of Community Guidance
Clinics for drug users;
∙ helping aftercare rehabilitated clients to be accepted back to their
community and involving them in meaningful and productive activities;
and
∙ helping strengthen the moral and spiritual values of the discharged
clients.
What should the CWTS students and parents do to help prevent drug
abuse? The CWTS students can help the parents in the following aspects:
1. Create a warm and friendly atmosphere in the home.

2. Assist parents in developing effective means of communication with their
children, for the children to be open and honest to their parents.
3. Help parents learn how to listen to and respect the opinion of their children. Assist
parents on how to listen and respect the opinion of their children.
4. Motivate parents to develop strategies on how to be with their children despite
being busy.
5. Educate parents on how to strengthen the moral and spiritual values of their
children.
6. Assist parents on how to reach responsibility to their children by giving duties
proportional to their age.
The soundness of the activity that we do today will contribute to the success
of the program that we have in the days ahead together with our clients.

Unit Title 4
DISASTER RISK REDUCTION MANAGEMENT
AWARENESS
Title of the Lesson Overview of the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction

Management Act of 2010 (RA 10121)
Duration 3 Hours
INTRODUCTION:
This lesson provides factual information on disaster risk reduction and

management including the role of the citizen and the government in providing a safer
community in times of calamities and crises. It serves the purpose of raising
awareness on the importance of disaster preparedness, prevention, response, and
rehabilitation for the safety of the general public.
The Philippines is indeed one of the largest archipelagos in the world. It lies
southeast of the Southeast Asia region, directly below Taiwan. It is bounded by
the South China Sea on the West, the Pacific Ocean on the East, the Sulu Sea
and the Celebes Sea on the south and the Bashi Tunnel in the north. The
Philippines is composed of about 7,100 separate small and large islands
scattered over some 1,295,000 sq. km of ocean waters. Its total land area is
300,000 sq. km. Only 2,700 are named and the eleven largest island account for
almost 95% of the land population.
OBJECTIVES:

1. Know the importance of Republic Act 10121.
2. emphasize the role of the youth in times of calamity and emergency
situations.
3. identify the different types of hazards and its response.
4. apply their knowledge on disaster prevention and preparedness.

LESSON PROPER:
PHILIPPINE RISK PROFILE
The Philippines can be found along the typhoon belt in the pacific.It is visited by an
average of 20 typhoons every year, five of which are considered destructive. Being
located in the ―Pacific Ring of Fire‖ it makes vulnerable to frequent earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions. It‘s geographical location and physical environment also
contributes to its high – susceptibility to tsunami, sea level rise, storm, surges
landslides, flood/flash flood/flooding and drought. Furthermore, 80% of the world‘s
largest earthquakes occur in the ring of fire.
https://asiasociety.org/education/introduction-southeast-asia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Fire
Taking a closer look in the geographic profile of Bulacan, one can see that is
bounded by Nueva Ecija on the north, Quezon (General Nakar) on the east, Metro
Manila (Valenzuela City, Caloocan City and Quezon City) on the south, Pampanga
on the west, Aurora (Dingalan) on the northeast, Rizal (Rodriguez) on the southeast,
and Manila Bay on the southwest.
https://www.bulacan.gov.ph/generalinfo/politicalsubdivision.php
Several rivers irrigate the province of Bulacan-the largest one being in Angat.
The Angat River passes through the municipalities of Angat, San Rafael, Baliuag,
Plaridel (Quingua), and Calumpit. It flows thence into the Pampanga River, goes out
again, washes Hagonoy and loses itself in the mangroves. The banks of these rivers
are very fertile and are covered with trees. Bulacan is subdivided into 21
municipalities and 3 cities.

PHILIPPINE DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT ACT OF

2010 (RA 10121)
The enactment of Republic Act 10121, better known as the ―Philippine

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010‖ will strengthening the
country‘s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management System. It will also provide a
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management framework and institutionalize the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management plan including the fund support
and other purposes.
The following are some terminologies that you may need to understand in
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management based on Section 3 of RA 10121.
Capacity - a combination of all strengths and resources available within a

community, society or organization that can reduce the level of risk, or effects of a
disaster. Capacity may include infrastructure and physical means, institutions,
societal coping abilities, as well as human knowledge, skills and collective attributes
such as social relationships, leadership and management. Capacity may also be
described as capability.
Climate Change - a change in climate that can' be identified by changes in the

mean and/or variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period
typically decades or longer, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human
activity
Disaster - a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society

involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and
impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using
its own resources. Disasters are often described as a result of the combination of:
the exposure to a hazard; the conditions of vulnerability that are present; and
insufficient capacity or measures to reduce or cope with the potential negative
consequences, Disaster impacts may include loss of life, injury, disease and other
negative effects on human, physical, mental and social well-being, together with
damage to property, destruction of assets, loss of services, Social and economic
disruption and environmental degradation
Disaster Mitigation - the lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards

and related disasters
Disaster Preparedness - the knowledge and capacities developed by governments,

professional response and recovery organizations, communities and individuals to
effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover from, the Impacts of likely, imminent or
current hazard events or conditions
Disaster Prevention - the outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and

related disasters, it expresses the concept and intention to completely avoid potential
adverse impacts through action taken in advance such as construction of dams or
embankments that eliminate flood risks, land-use regulations that do not permit any
settlement in high-risk zones, and seismic engineering designs that ensure the
survival and function of a critical building in any likely earthquake
69 | P a g e
Disaster Response - the provision of emergency services and public assistance
during or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts,
ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people affected.
Disaster response is predominantly focused on immediate and short-term needs and
is sometimes called "disaster relief"
Disaster Risk - the potential disaster losses in lives, health status, livelihood, assets
and services, which could occur to a particular community or a Society over some
specified future time period
Disaster Risk Reduction - the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks
through systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters,
including through reduced exposures to hazards, lessened vulnerability of people
and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improved
preparedness for adverse events
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management - the systematic process of using

administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to
implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the
adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster
Emergency - unforeseen or sudden occurrence, especially danger, demanding

immediate action
Exposure - the degree to which the elements at risk are likely to experience hazard
events of different magnitudes
Hazard - a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may

cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihood
and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage
Rehabilitation - measures that ensure the ability of affected communities/areas to

restore their normal level of functioning by rebuilding livelihood and damaged
infrastructures and increasing the communities' organizational capacity.
Risk Assessment - a methodology to determine the nature and extent of risk by
analyzing potential hazards and evaluating existing conditions of vulnerability that
together could potentially harm exposed people, property, services, livelihood and
the environment on which they depend. Risk assessments with associated risk
mapping include: a review of the technical characteristics of hazards such as their
location, intensity, frequency and probability; the analysis of exposure and
vulnerability including the physical, social, health, economic and environmental
dimensions; and the evaluation of the effectiveness of prevailing and alternative
coping capacities in respect to likely risk scenarios
State of Calamity - a condition involving mass casualty and/or major damages to

property, disruption of means of livelihoods, roads and normal way of life of people in
the affected areas as a result of the occurrence of natural or human-induced hazard
Vulnerability - the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or

asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. Vulnerability may
arise from various physical, social, economic, and environmental factors such as
poor design and construction of buildings, inadequate protection of assets, lack of
public information and awareness, limited official recognition of risks and
70 | P a g e
preparedness measures, and disregard for wise environmental management.
Section 4 of RA 10121: This Act provides for the development of policies and plans
and the implementation of actions and measures pertaining to all aspects of disaster
risk reduction and management, including good governance, risk assessment and
early warning, knowledge building and awareness raising, reducing underlying risk

the School Curricula and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Program and Mandatory
Training for the Public Sector Employees. It is also the legal basis to integrate
disaster risk reduction and management education in the school curricula of
secondary and tertiary level of education, including the National Service Training
Program (NSTP).
Time to Involve our Youth in Disaster Preparedness and Management
In reality, there are many hazards and emergency situation may occur in our
community. These hazards may result to damage of property, loss of livelihood, injury
or even loss of lives. The lack of awareness and information on disaster
preparedness and response among the youth plays a vital role for the increase of
vulnerability of the community. The Government implemented programs to
encourage and compel the youth to be actively involved in making their communities
safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to emergency/hazard situations.
In reference to Section 14 of the Republic Act 10121, it was clearly specified
that educating the youth on disaster management should be implemented
mandatorily. The initiative of the government through Sangguniang Kabataan in
conducting trainings and programs related to disaster management to the youth in
the community will increase the level of awareness as well as the capacity of the
community. Furthermore, incompliance to the said Republic Act, academe and
71 | P a g e
educational institutions integrated the disaster risk reduction and management
education in the school curricula of secondary and tertiary level of education.
The conduct of orientation/information drive on disaster management to all the

youth will increase their awareness and consciousness on their role as first
responders during emergency situation. Likewise, the conduct of DRRM related
training such as first aid/basic life support, fire safety, earthquake and bomb threat
drills to all youth will enhance the capability of the community the individual
competency of the members of the community.
We need to provide the youth with proper education, training and guidance so
that the youth will not deviate from the right path and we will be able to gain the
support of the youth in nation building particularly on disaster preparedness and
response.
ROLE OF THE YOUTH IN DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND MANAGEMENT
The following are some of the youth‘s roles in disaster preparedness and
management:
1. Obey all protocols and procedures pertaining to disaster preparedness and
management.
2. Support the programs of the government in relation to disaster
preparedness and management. Involve and attend disaster
preparedness and management related seminar and trainings.
3. Contribute to the disaster preparedness, prevention and mitigation of the
family/community
4. Participate in the conduct and implementation of programs of the Barangay
LGU regarding disaster preparedness and management such as
information drive, trainings, capability and vulnerability assessment,
evaluation, planning and execution of disaster management plan.
5. Provide first aid to whoever needs it.
6. Volunteer oneself in repacking and distribution of relief goods during
calamities.
7. Act as first responder and assist in the disaster rescue operation of the
LGU in the community whenever necessary.
8. Report irregularities and incidents to proper authority during emergency
and hazards situation.

(2010)
Flood - is an overflow or accumulation of an expanse of water that submerges land.

In the sense of "flowing water", the term may also be used to describe the inflow of
the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such
as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the
water escapes its usual boundaries.

Safety Tips during Storm/Typhoon and Floods
1. Remain calm and stay indoors.
2. Stay tuned in to radios and televisions for the latest weather report. 3. Cut off
the branches of trees that might hit or fall onto your house, and those that are
touching the power lines.
4. Remove all obstacles on the road to pave the way for emergency vehicles.
5. If your house is in a flood-prone area, flee to the nearest evacuation center.
6. Prepare a flashlight and a portable radio with new batteries.
7. Stock enough supplies of canned goods, food, potable water, fuel, batteries,
and keep a first aid kit.
8. Turn off the main power safety switch and water valve if there‘s a flood. 9.
Carry and transfer your home appliances and all your important documents to a
higher place to prevent floodwaters from reaching it.
10.Avoid low lying areas, riverbanks, creeks, mountain sides, hill sides and
ravines. Heavy downpour can cause landslides, mudslides or rockslides.
11.Do not wade in the floods nor cross a raging river.
12.Do not use electrical appliances or gas stoves which were submerged in
flood water.
13.If there‘s a need to proceed to the evacuation area, do the
following: a. Close all the windows and lock all the doors of your
house.
b. Make sure to switch off the main circuit breaker or fuse box.
c. Close the valve of the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder.
d. Elevate all the important documents, things, and possessions.

Volcanic Eruption Situation

Volcanic Eruption - refers to the release of gas, ash, molten materials or hot water
into the atmosphere or onto the Earth's surface from a volcano or other opening in
the Earth's surface.
Source: http://wallpaperswide.com/volcanic_eruption
Safety Procedure during Volcanic Eruptions

1. If you reside in an area near a volcano, you are in danger of pyroclastic
flows, lahar, and ash fall.
2. There are maps that can show the areas that are not safe. You can obtain
this information from the concerned government agencies. Follow their
advices and warnings; these can save lives.
3. Do not live or stay in the danger zones declared by the NDCC. Stay away
from rivers where lava and other volcanic materials might flow through. 4. If
there‘s an ash fall, cover your nose with a damp cloth. This can filter
particles while you breathe.
5. Remove the accumulated ashes from your roof to prevent it from
collapsing.
6. If you are driving or inside a moving vehicle, stop and find a covered and
safe place.
7. If your area is in danger of lahar flow, flee to a higher ground or go to the
nearest evacuation center.
Tsunami Situation
Tsunami - is a series of ocean waves generated by sudden displacements in the sea
floor, landslides, or volcanic activity. It is derived from the Japanese terms ― tsu‖ and
―nami‖ which means ―harbor wave‖ when translated literally. In the deep ocean, the
tsunami wave may only be a few inches high. The tsunami wave may come gently
ashore or may increase in height to become a fast moving wall of turbulent water
several meters high. Sometimes, tsunamis are also called tidal waves.
Safety Measures during Tsunami

1. A strong earthquake can cause a tsunami. Do not stay in a low lying area
or near the sea shore. A tsunami can strike a few minutes after an earthquake.
2. A warning of a possible tsunami is brought about by an unusual receding of
sea water or unusual change in the sea level.
3. If the sea water receded, you can find some sea creatures lying on the
74 | P a g e
seashore. Do not be tempted to pick them up. Always remember that the waves can
return quickly and can wash you away.
4. A tsunami is usually accompanied by strange sounds. Always be aware of
these kinds of sounds.
5. Flee to a higher ground and wait until it‘s safe to return.
Earthquake Situation
Earthquake -characterized by a weak to violent shaking of the ground caused by the

sudden release of stored energy beneath the earth‘s surface known as the
lithosphere. This sudden release of energy generates seismic waves that cause
massive vibrations. The spot underground where the earthquake started is called the
focus or hypocenter, while the point on the surface or top of the ground right above
the focus is called the epicenter.
Safety Measures during an Earthquake

The ―Drop, Cover and Hold‖ protocol (drop to the floor, cover your head, and
hold on to a solid object), when performed correctly with an awareness of your
surroundings, remains the most effective way to protect yourself when an earthquake
occurs.
Fire Situation
Fire - is the rapid oxidation of a material in the chemical process of combustion,

releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Slower oxidative processes such
as rusting or digestion are not considered part of this definition.
How to evacuate from a burning building

1. Swiftly abandon a burning building. Fire can spread quickly.
2. Do not panic; try to stay calm at all times.
3. Proceed to the nearest emergency exit.
4. If you are in a room, try to feel if the door is hot. Never open it if it is hot,
instead, put a wet cloth in the gap between the door and the floor to prevent
the smoke from entering the room. Find an alternative exit.
5. You can tie blankets and bed sheets together, then use it as a rope in getting
out of a burning building.
6. You can escape from a smoke-filled room by crawling out to the nearest exit.
7. Cover your nose and mouth with a damp cloth. This can help you breathe
through the thick smoke while crawling out of the building.
Bomb/Bomb Threat Situation
Bomb – This device is either factory-made or homemade. It contains incendiary or

explosive substances that are used to create fire, shock, heat and gas to cause
extensive damage to the target and even individuals. Bomb chooses no one.
Bomb threat – It is a piece of information or a warning claiming knowledge that a

dangerous device, such as bomb or similar type of explosive, has been or will be
75 | P a g e
placed in a building, aircraft or other facility.
Safety Measures during a Bomb Threat situation
1. Treat all threats received as real and report immediately to authorities.

2. Remain calm and courteous.
3. As much as possible, try to obtain as much information such as:
• the identity of the caller;
• the characteristics of the caller;
• ask the exact location of the bomb;
• apply delaying tactics; and
• report all details to a responsible person immediately.
Pandemic Situation
Pandemic – An outbreak/epidemic of a disease occurring worldwide, or in a very

widespread area that usually affecting a large volume of people.
Covid19 Virus – The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease

caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. It was reported as a pneumonia outbreak
started in December 2019 at Wuhan China, and given an interim name of 2019-
Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by the World Health Organization (WHO).Most
people infected with this virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness
and may result to severe cases if complications arise. The COVID-19 virus spreads
primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected
person coughs or sneezes.
Community Quarantine – As a safety measure to limit the spread of the

Coronavirus, the government issued different types/classification of Community
Quarantine.
a. Enhance Community Quarantine (ECQ) - Local populace under an ECQ are

generally ordered to stay at home, with its residents restricted from traveling to
other cities or barangays. The LGU/Barangay Unit can issue quarantine
passes to allow one representative per family to buy essential goods outside
curfew hours and within the issuing authority‘s jurisdiction.
b. General Community Quarantine (GCQ) - It is considered more lenient than

ECQ. Public transportation is allowed at a reduced capacity and select
businesses are allowed to operate at 50 to 100 percent of their regular
capacity depending on their industry.
c. Other Measures - The following are the additional types of community

quarantine measures that may be imposed by the Authority depending on
their situation.
∙ Extensive/Extreme Enhanced Community Quarantine (EECQ) ∙
Modified Enhance Community Quarantine (MECQ)
∙ Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ)
∙ Total or Special Concern Lockdown
∙ New Normal
76 | P a g e
Safety Tips against COVID-19 Virus
∙ Keep your hands clean through washing frequently using soap and water or
using alcohol-based hand rub to keep your hands clean.
∙ Maintain social distancing for about 1 to 2 meters.
∙ Wear a mask
∙ Don‘t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
∙ Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough
or sneeze. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical
attention.
