1. Among the eight dimensions of human wellness, identify two dimensions in which Mang Cesar is doing well
and justify your answer.

- The first human wellness dimensions which Mang Cesar is doing well is the emotional dimension. In the short
story it stated there that Mang Cesar’s wife left them to work as housemaid in Manila. After her wife left them
he didn't received any information about her wife despite of that circumstance that his family is facing, he still
continue to work and he did not let his emotion affect him. Emotional dimension states that if you can control
your emotions despite of any circumstances that will help you to accept what you’re true feelings are and
moved on. Accepting your feelings/what is happened, can help you to decide how you will response about the
circumstance. Mang Cesar did not allow his emotion to affect how he response as a father in his family.
Occupational dimension is his next human wellness because of Mang Cesar application of his skills that he
gain/experienced since his 12 years old. In the story, Mang Cesar only attained Grade 4 and already bare his
self to work as a construction worker in a construction company. Imagine, Mang Cesar work as a construction
worker at the age of 12 until now(base on the story). If Mang Cesar is not satisfied to his work and if it is not
happy then probably he will quit his current job and apply for a new one that make him satisfied and happy.
Even we say he only attained grade 4 so that he can’t quit his job and can’t apply to a new one, but nowadays
many of people who only attainted to finish a grade school level are successful. My point with is, it is not Mang
Cesar don’t have a choice of career, but his actually satisfied with it since he is used to this kind of work.

2. Which dimensions do you think Mang Cesar should improve? Give two dimensions and recommend at least
5 practical ways for each dimension.

- It is obvious which human wellness dimension that Mang Cesar should improve, it is the Social dimension
that talks about relationships. As I said Social dimension focuses on how a person interact to other person, and
how a person do his duties/responsibilities in a relationship. Mang Cesar can improve his social wellness by
doing, first knowing his priorities in life as a father, because being a father is not a joke it has a lot of
responsibilities attached with it, Second is manage his time properly, as I red the story of him he spend a lot of
his time in works and not that much time with his family, friends, or co-workers even to his self. Third give his
family a fair time to bond with this will help to have a stronger foundation in his family, in a family it is
important to have bonding moments with your wife and children/s. Fourth, meet new friends, meeting new
friends can help you develop as an individual. Lastly love himself and the people surround him.

- Physical dimension, In life we must also consider our physical by taking care of ourself and have a proper
lifestyle. Mang Cesar can improve his physical wellness by doing this five, always have time for yourself, take a
rest/pause, have a proper lifestyle(exercise, yoga etc.), have enough sleep and do check up atleast thrice a
year.

3. If you will meet Mang Cesar and you want to boost his moral, what positive talk you will say to Mang Cesar
and why?

-Being a good father is though role in the family, and you being a father you did well. You did not allow your
family to suffer famine, you have a place to live with and most of your childrens is able to study. That’s
because of your hard work and flexibility as a father and worker. In a family, struggles are part of it, it depends
how you handle it. Be prod to yourself that despite of your wife leave you, you still chose and manage your
family good. I know that there’s a lot of room for development that you might need as a father but I know you
can do it. Just trust yourself that you and you will see the results. Also have time with your childrens, don’t let
your work used all your time. Bond with your family and have fun. Lastly always take care of yourself.
