V - LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Let’s Read!

Social Health
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:

1. Cybercrime

With the advancement of technology, there are various platforms where you may
express yourself. This diversity may do both
good and harm to you. “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. To protect the citizens
from this concern, the government mandated
Republic Act No. 10175 or the Cybercrime
Prevention Act of 2012. The law mandates the
prohibition of cybersex, child pornography,
unsolicited commercial communications, and
computer-related identity theft.

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

5|P a g e
 sexual activities” (Official Gazette, 2009). In addition, it is also important to note how the
Act defines a “child”.
https://countercurrents.org/pornography.jpg
“Child” refers to a person below eighteen (18) years of age or over, but is unable
to fully take care of himself/herself from abuse, neglect, cruelty, exploitation or
discrimination because of a physical or mental disability or condition. For the
purpose of this Act, a child shall also refer to:

(1) a person regardless of age who is presented, depicted or portrayed as a child

as defined herein; and
(2) computer-generated, digitally or manually crafted images or graphics of a person
who is represented or who is made to appear to be a child as defined herein.

Child pornography may also be syndicated if there are three (3) or more persons
confederating with one another. In this light, it is not only the victim who can file a complaint,
but the parents or guardians, relative within the third degree, officer or social worker of a
licensed child-caring institution or DSWD, barangay chairman, law enforcement officer,
at least three concerned responsible citizens in the same place where the pornography
occurs, and a person who is knowledgeable of the law may do so.
Once the victim is identified, he/she is subject to care, custody and
treatment from the Department of Social Welfare and Development. In addition,
an inter-agency program shall also be established to prevent child pornography.

3. Hazing

Fraternities and 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. For some of these groups, hazing
may be an option to test an “applicant’s” willingness
and commitment. On the other hand, hazing is very
dangerous, and proven to have killed many lives.

https://miro.medium.com/max/1200/
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
Being proactive citizens of the country, you
must willingly help others in ways that will not harm
you. 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. In order to attain these aims, the Act
provisions the establishment of a Blood Services
Network which consists of the following: https://www.thomsonmedical.com/wp-
content.jpg

a. National Council for Blood Services and its various committees

It serves as the governing body of the network and is responsible for the approval of
various policies on blood services.

6|P a g e
 b. Philippine National Blood Services
Under its Blood Centers, it works on the recruitment, retention, and care of voluntary
blood donors, collection of blood from qualified donors, testing of units of blood for infectious
diseases, and the like.
c. Authorized Blood Collection Units and Facilities
d. Private and Public Hospital Blood Banks and Blood Stations
e. Non-Hospital Health Facilities
f. National Reference Laboratories for Immunology and Immunohematology.
