ON CAM 1: STUDENT A (SCHOOL

POND AREA)

(1) EARTH & WATER (1) WATER IS ONE OF THE VITAL

(GRAPHICS); BODY WATER FACTORS TO SUSTAIN LIFE ON
COMPOSITION EARTH. SURPRISINGLY, THE
ADULT HUMAN BODY IS 2/3 OR
60% WATER WHICH IS SIMILAR
TO OUR PLANET, WHILE
BABIES ARE 78%.

(2) CELLULAR FUNCTIONS WITH (2) ALTHOUGH WATER SUSTAINS

FLUID LIFE, IN MOST UNEPECTED
INSTANCES WATER MAY ALSO
BE A CAUSE OF DEATH.

(3) FRIEND / FOE GRAPHICS (3) IS WATER REALLY A FRIEND

OR FOE?

ON CAM 2: STUDENT B (HEALTH

CENTER – AMPAYON)

(1) PICTURES / GRAPHICS OF: (1) DIARRHEA IS A COMMON

 VIRUS; BACTERIA;
PROTOZOA; PARASITES
(2) MAP OF SOWATO, SOUTH
AFRICA WITH LOCATION

POP – UP:
WHAT IS THE COMMON
WATER-BORNE DISEASES IN
THE PHILIPPINES?
THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH – EPIDEMIC – PRONE
DISEASE CASE
SURVEILLANCE (EDCS) OF
MORBIDITY WEEK 4 FROM
THE PERIOD OF JANUARY 1 –
29, 2021 COMPARED TO
JANUARY 1 – 29, 2022
(4) MORBIDITY DATA (PERSON
GRAPHICS) & MORTALITY
RATE DATA GRAPHICS
ON CAM 3: STUDENT C (AM NHS –
SYMPTOM OF INTESTINAL
INFECTION CAUSED BY
DISEASE-CAUSING
MICROORGANISMS LIKE
VIRUS, BACTERIA,
PROTOZOANS, PARASITES,
AND ETC.
(2) A STUDY ON DIARRHEAL
DISEASES IN SOWATO, SOUTH
AFRICA LAST 2020 SHOWED
THAT CHILDREN LESS THAN 5
YEARS OLD WERE GREATLY
AFFECTED AS OBSERVED TO
BE ADMITTED AMONG
HEALTHCARE FACILITIES
COMPARED TO ADULTS.
(3) SO, WHAT IS THE COMMON
WATER-BORNE DISEASES IN
THE PHILIPPINES?
(4) IN THE PHILIPPINES, BASED
ON THE DATA PROVIDED BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
– EPIDEMIC – PRONE DISEASE
CASE SURVEILLANCE (EDCS)
OF MORBIDITY WEEK 4 FROM
THE PERIOD OF JANUARY 1 –
29, 2021 COMPARED TO
JANUARY 1 – 29, 2022 - THE
FOLLOWING ARE FOOD &
WATER-BORNE DISEASES
IDENTIFIED BY DOH – EDCS
NAMELY: TYPHOID FEVER,
CHOLERA, ACUTE BLOODY
DIARRHEA, ACUTE VIRAL
HEPATITIS (HEPATITIS A), AND
ROTAVIRUS. ALTHOUGH THE
INFECTION WAS DECLINING
FOR 2021 – 2022 YET THE
DEATHS TALLIED LAST 2021
AND 2022 WERE BOTH 7 WITH
A TOTAL OF 14 DEATH CASES.
WASHING AREA – SCI LAB)

(1) PICTURES / GRAPHICS OF: (1) ONE MAJOR CAUSE OF

WATER CONTAMINATION DIARRHEA IS WATER-
WITH MICROORGANISMS CONTAMINATION WITH
PRESENCE OF WATER-BORNE
DISEASE MICROORGANISMS.

(2) DOST LOGO & BCWD LOGO (2) ALL SOURCES OF WATER
/ PICTURE OF BCWD SUPPLY CAN BE
WATER LABORATORY. CONTAMINATED, IF NOT
TAKEN MEASURES TO FILTER
& EXAMINED BY APPROPRIATE
WATER LABORATORIES AS
SAFE TO DRINK.

(3) UPON LOOKING IN A

MICROSCOPE ONE COULD
FIND A COLONY OR A GALAXY
OF VARIED MICROORGANISMS
INCLUDING INVISIBLE
PARASITES THAT THRIVE ON
WATER.

(4) A BACTERIA CALLED

Salmonella typhi CAUSES
TYPHOID FEVER WHICH
ACCOUNTS ALMOST 200
MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE
SUFFER FROM THIS ILLNESS
DUE TO POOR SANITATION
AND DRINKING OF UNSAFE
WATER, MAY ALSO SPREAD
THROUGH CONTAMINATED
FOOD. THE DISEASE IS
CONSIDERED HIGHLY
CONTAGIOUS, AFFECTING
NOT ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL BUT
A WHOLE COMMUNITY.

(5) SALMONELLA TYPHI IS AN

AEROBIC MICROORGANISM,
GROWING BEST IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WITH
PRESENCE OF OXYGEN AND
 MAY ALSO SURVIVE WITH LOW
OXYGEN LEVEL. THEY ARE
ROD-SHAPED WITH A SIZE OF
1 - 3 MICROMETER IN LENGTH
BY 0.5 - 0.6 MICROMETER IN
DIAMETER. MAY COME IN
PAIRS OR SINGLY,
REPRODUCING BEST IN
TEMPERATURE OF 37
DEGREES CELSIUS. THEY’RE
MOBILE DUE TO THEIR
FLAGELLATED OR TAILED
STRUCTURE.

(6) ABOUT 9 DEATHS WERE

RECORDED IN CARAGA BY
THE PHILIPPINE STATISTICS
AUTHORITY (PSA) LAST 2019
DUE TO TYPHOID FEVER.

ON CAM 4: STUDENT B & C

(HEALTH CENTER)

(1) ANOTHER LIFE-THREATENING

DISEASE-CAUSING
MICROORGANISM IS Vibrio
cholerae WHICH IS THE CAUSE
OF THE DISEASE “CHOLERA”.
IT INFECTS THE INTESTINE
CAUSING SEVERE
DEHYDRATION & DIARRHEA
AND MAY KILL A PERSON
WITHIN DAYS OR HOURS IF
LEFT UNTREATED.
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES
WHERE POOR SANITATION
AND WATER CONTAMINATION
IS RAMPANT ARE FACTORS
FOR THE ORGANISM TO
THRIVE.

(2) VIBRIO CHOLERAE IS A

COMMA – SHAPED
BACTERIUM, LIVING IN AN
ANAEROBIC ENVIRONMENT
OR WITHOUT OXYGEN.
 SIMILAR TO SALMONELLA
TYPHI IT HAS A TAIL
STRUCTURE. THE SIZE OF THE
BACTERIUM VARIES RANGING
FROM 1-3 MICROMETER IN
LENGTH BY 0.5 – 0.8
MICROMETER IN DIAMETER.

(3) THE PSA REPORTED NO

DEATHS OF CHOLERA IN
CARAGA LAST 2019 BUT HAS
TALLIED 1 DEATH LAST 2018.

(4) ANOTHER TYPE OF BACTERIA

CAUSES A SYMPTOM OF
ACUTE BLOODY DIARRHEA,
THE ILLNESS SUGGESTS AN
INFECTION CAUSED BY
CAMPYLOBACTER,
SAMONELLA, SHIGELLA, OR
SHIGA-TOXIN ESCHERICHIA
COLI. IT IS OFTEN CAUSED BY
SHIGELLA, THE DISEASE IS
ALSO KNOWN AS
SHIGELLOSIS WHEN CAUSED
BY Shigella dysenteriae. THE
DISEASE CAN BE SPREAD
THROUGH CONTAMINATED
WATER AND FOOD.

(5) SHIGELLA IS A ROD SHAPED,

NON-SPORE FORMING, AND
NON-MOTILE OR NON-MOVING
BACTERIA SINCE IT HAS NO
FLAGELLA OR TAIL TO MAKE
IT MOVE FREELY. THEIR SIZE
VARY FROM 1 – 3
MICROMETER LONG BY 0.4 –
0.6 MICROMETER IN
DIAMETER.

(6) ITS OTHER TERM IS

DYSENTERY. DUE TO ITS
BLOODY PRESENCE IN THE
STOOL IT IS CONSIDERED AN
 URGENT MEDICAL
EMERGENCY.

(7) THERE ARE 108 DEATH CASES

OF DYSENTERY IN CARAGAR
REGION LAST 2019 AS PER
REPORT OF PSA.
ON CAM: STUDENT A (AMPAYON
FOOD MARKET)
(2) HEPATITIS A VIRUS IS AN
(3) ABOUT 56 DEATH CASES
(4) ALTHOUGH HEPATITIS A IS
(1) ASIDE FROM BACTERIA,
VIRUSES CAN ALSO CAUSE
SEVERE DEHYDRATION DUE
TO DIARRHEA. HEPATITIS A
WHICH IS CONSIDERED
HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS
ESPECIALLY AREAS WITHOUT
OR DISPLAYS POOR SANITARY
PRACTICES & LACKS
CONTAMINATED FOOD AND
WATER SUPPLY.
ENTERIC KIND OF VIRUS,
HENCE, AFFECTING THE
INTESTINES. IT IS A SINGLE
STRAND RNA (RIBONUCLEIC
ACID) MOLECULE ENCLOSED
IN A CAPSID (PROTEIN SHELL
OF A VIRUS). ITS SIZE RANGES
FROM 27 – 32 NANOMETER
MUCH MINUTE OR VERY
SMALL COMPARED TO A
BACTERIA.
WERE NOTED BY PSA IN
CARAGA REGION LAST 2019
DUE TO THE VIRAL INFECTION.
CONTAGIOUS, YET, MOST
PEOPLE DEVELOPED A
LIFELONG IMMUNITY AFTER
CONTRACTING HEPATITIS A.
ON CAM: STUDENT A (AMPAYON
FOOD MARKET)
(1) ROTAVIRUS IS A CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE IN A STABLE
ENVIRONMENT, WHICH CAN
BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH
CONTAMINATED FOOD OR
WATER AND DIRECT CONTACT
OF SURFACES OR OBJECTS.

(2) THE VIRION OF ROTAVIRUS IS

A TRIPLE-LAYERED PARTICLE
WITH AN EMBEDDED SPIKE
ATTACHMENTS IN ITS OUTER
LAYER.

(3) UNLIKE HEPATITIS A VIRUS,

ROTAVIRUS IS A DOUBLE
STRANDED RNA SEGMENTS.
THE SPIKE ATTACHMENTS IN
ITS OUTER LAYER SERVE AS A
MEDIATOR THAT CONNECTS
THE VIRUS INTO ITS HOST
CELLS FOR EASIER
INFILTRATION INSIDE THE
CELL.

(4) SEVERE WATERY DIARRHEA

IS ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF
 THIS DISEASE.

(5) FROM 2015 – 2019 THERE

WERE NO DEATH CASES IN
CARAGA REGION BUT THERE
257 WHO WERE DIAGNOSED
WITH ROTAVIRUS AS PER PSA
REPORT LAST 2019.

ON CAM 6: STUDENT A
(WASHING AREA & SCHOOL
TOILET FACILITY)
(1) IS WATER REALLY A FRIEND
OR FOE?

(2) WATER IS AN ESSENTIAL

MATTER TO CONTINUOUSLY
SUPPORT THE FLOW OF LIFE
ON EARTH. BUT ITS FINITE
SUBSTANCE CAN SOMETIMES
BE SPOILED AND MAY TURN
AGAINST US WHEN
NEGLECTED AND EXPLOITED.

(3) WATER IS POWER, IT IS HOW

THE USER MANIPULATE THAT
POWER INTO ITS GOOD USE.

(4) I THINK THE QUESTION IS ARE

WE A FRIEND OR FOE TO
WATER?
