WHAT’S NEW
Reproductive health also concerns problems such as sexually-
transmitted infections.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS is caused by human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which usually does not have symptoms in its
early stages. “Initially, people with HIV were diagnosed as having AIDS only
when they developed blood infections, the cancer known as Kaposi’s sarcoma,
or any of the 21 other indicator diseases” (Donatelle, 2006). In addition, HIV
is highly infectious through unprotected sexual intercourse, breastfeeding (of
an infected mother to infant), and blood transfusion/injecting drugs (needles
used for infected patients). Currently, there are several treatment options for
HIV and AIDS, but no known cure yet.

WHAT’S MORE
Peer influence also concerns you as adolescents. You are in the
developmental stage wherein you build lasting relationships with peers.
Here are some issues that you may encounter:
SOCIAL HEALTH
1. Cybercrime - “Cyber refers to a computer or a computer network, the
electronic medium in which online communication takes place”. Thus,
cybercrime is simply any crime committed in cyberspace.
2. Child Pornography – In relation to cybercrime, child pornography has
become a pressing concern of this generation. Republic Act No. 9775 or the
Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009 defines the crime of child pornography.
As defined, “Child pornography” refers to any representation, whether
visual, audio, or written combination thereof, by electronic, mechanical,
digital, optical, magnetic or any other means, of child engaged or involved
in real or simulated explicit sexual activities” (Official Gazette, 2009).
3. Hazing – Fraternities, sororities, gangs and social groups are starting to
become more and more identified and publicized. Because of their “alleged”
prestige and prime, more teens are encouraged to be a part of them. On the
other hand, hazing is very dangerous, and proven to have killed many lives.
The government protects the youth through the Republic Act No. 8949 or
the Anti-Hazing Law. The Act penalizes those who will go too far during
initiation rites wherein the “applicant” is subjected to severe physical and
emotional pain and suffering.
4. Blood Donation - One of the emerging forms of voluntary service is blood
donation. Republic Act No. 7719 or the National Blood Services Act of 1994
aims to promote and encourage voluntary blood donation by the citizenry,
provide for adequate, safe and affordable and equitable distribution of
blood and blood products.
Pollution and road safety are two of the most usual issues that concern
you as a member of your community. Here are some policies most appropriate
to address these concerns
This time, we will see what you have learned in this lesson.

My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need. And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain
I die just when I see the dawn break, And whe n the d ark nig ht wr ap s the gr ave y ar d ar ound
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; With only the d e ad in the ir v ig il to s e e
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, B re ak not m y re p os e or the m ys tery p r of ound
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake And pe rc hanc e thou m ays t he ar a s ad hym n re s ound
To dye with its crimson the waking ray. ' T is I, O my c ountry, r aising a s ong unto the e .
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, The n will ob liv ion br ing to me no c ar e
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; As ove r thy v ale s and p lains I s we e p;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; Thr ob b ing and c le anse d in thy s p ace and air
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; With c olor and lig ht, with s ong and lame nt I f are ,
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night. E v er re p e ating the f aith that I k ee p .
If over my grave some day thou seest grow, M y F athe rland ad or' d, that s ad ne ss to my sor r ow le nd s
In the grassy sod, a humble flower, B e lov ed F ilip inas, he ar now m y las t g o od -b y!
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, I g ive the e all: p are nts and k indr ed and f r iend s
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below F or I g o wher e no s lav e be f or e the op pr es s or b e nds ,
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power. Whe r e f aith c an ne ve r kill, and God r e ig ns e ' er on hig h!
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, F are well to y ou all, f r om m y s oul tor n away,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, F rie nds of m y c hild hood in the home disp oss e ss ed !
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; Giv e thanks that I re s t fr om the we ar is om e d ay !
And if on my cross a bird should be seen, F are well to the e, too, s we e t f rie nd that lig hte ne d m y way;
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes. B e lov ed cre ature s all, f are well! In d e ath ther e is re s t!
