ANG IBA’T IBANG URI NG
EATING DISORDER AT
NGAYON NAMAN AY PAG-
UUSAPAN NATIN AY IBA’T
IBANG EXTERNAL
FACTORS NA
NAKAKAAPEKTO SA
EATING DISORDER.
NGAYON ISA RIN SA MGA
IYAN AY ANG DIET
CULTURE NA UMIIRAL
NGAYON SA PILIPINAS AT
MALAKI ANG KAUGNAYAN
NITO SA PAGKAKAROON
NG EATING DISORDER
NGUNIT BAGO IYAN
PANOORIN MUNA NATIN
ANG VIDEO NA ITO.

01:08:48-01:09:42
TIKTOK VIDEO PLAYED

01:09:42- 01:09:46
(DEAD AIR)

JAMES: (THERE ARE SOME

DISTORTED SOUND)
01:09:47- 01:10:30 MULA SA PINANOOD
NATIN KANINA, MALIBAN
SA ATING MGA PAMILYA
MALAKI RIN ANG
KONTRIBUSYON NG
FITNESS INDUSTRY PARA
MAKULONG TAYO SA
SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED
NA BODY GOALS NA
NAGIGING SANHI RIN TO
FORCE OURSELVES, OUR
OWN BODY AND OUR OWN
MENTAL HEALTH PARA
LAMANG SA ATING
APPEARANCE WHICH IS
 TECHNICALLY
PROBLEMATIC SPECIALLY
SA GITNA NG PANDEMYA
DAHIL HIRAP NA NGA
TAYONG TUGUNIN ANG
PHYSICAL HEALTH AT
PAG-IWAS SA COVID 19
ISABAY PA ANG MGA ITO
NA KINAKAHARAP NATIN
SA ARAW-ARAW. WITH
THAT SA NAPANOOD DIN
NATIN KANINA NAIS KO
LAMANG DING MALAMAN
MS KYRA, ANO BA ANG
OPINYON MO RITO AT
NAAPEKTUHAN KA BA NG
IKA NGA AY DIET WORLD?

01:10:31- 01:13:18 MS. KYRA:

AHM. YEAH OFCOURSE. SO,
THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION
I JUST WANTED TO SAY
THAT. I’VE ALWAYS… IT’S
INDISPUTABLE. THE
PROBLEM WITH THIS KIND
OF EXPECTATION IS THAT
MEDIA IS EVERYWHERE
THAT MEAN IT’S ON THE
PHONE, IT’S IN THE
FAMILY, IT’S IN YOUR
FRIENDS, IT’S IN YOU. WE
ALL…PARANG ANG
PROBLEMA KASI WE ALL
ASPIRE TO LOOK AS OUR
GOOD WAY AND
OFCOURSE IF YOU’RE A
YOUNG BROWN GIRL IN
THE PHILIPPINES WE HAVE
THAT AND IT DOESN’T
MAKE YOU BAD OR
SMALLER, IT JUST MAKES
YOU HUMAN ENOUGH TO
BE SUSCEPTIBLE.
SO, YES
NAKAKACONTRIBUTE ANG
MEDIA AND THE KIND OF
MEDIA THAT WE CONSUME
SA PAGLALA PA NG
EATING DISORDER. IT
CONTRIBUTES TO YOU
KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
 ABOUT YOUR BODY IN
GENERAL, WHAT KIND OF
FOOD DID YOU EAT AND
ALSO CONTRIBUTES A
LOT TO HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT YOURSELF WHICH
AT THIS POINT IS REALLY
IMPORTANT. FOR
EXAMPLE, YOU ARE ON
YOUR INSTAGRAM, YOU
ARE ON YOUR FACEBOOK
AND ALL OF THE ADS
THAT ARE ABOUT WEIGHT
LOSS OR WHAT I SEE ALL
THE TIME THAT I CAN’T
ESCAPE ARE THOSE ADS
ABOUT UNDERARM HAIR,
HAIR ON YOUR LEGS. I
KNOW THAT YOU’VE
ENCOUNTERED THOSE
THINGS. OR EVEN YUNG
MGA PAMPAPAPUTI OR
ADS ABOUT HAVING FAIR
SKIN. SO, IT AFFECTS FOR
WHAT YOU WANT FOR
YOURSELF. IT AFFECTS
HOW YOU WANT TO LOOK
LIKE. IT ALSO AFFECTS
YOU WANT TO GET THOSE
THINGS. YOU KNOW…
WHAT IS THAT ONE
BRAND? IT’S
EVERYWHERE.
GLUTATHIONE. IT
BECOMES A FAD AND IT
BECOMES SUSCEPTIBLE TO
US TO WANT THOSE
THINGS. SO, YES
OFCOURSE SOBRANG LAKI
NG EPEKTO NG DIET
CULTURE SPECIALLY IF
YOU ARE ADULT,
SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE
YOUNGER. AND YOU’RE
TEENS. BUT IT DOESN’T
STOP. IT DOESN’T MEAN
THAT IS ENDS. AND
I’M SURE AS MEN OR AS
01:13:19- 01:14:02 FLORENCE: GUYS FEEL THE SAME
WAY MAYBE IN A
DIFFERENT FORM.
 TAMA YAN MS KYRA PERO
DAHIL NGA SA PANDEMIC
NA ITO AY MARAMI
TALAGANG
NAAPEKTUHAN HINDI
LAMANG ANG IBA NATING
KABABAYAN PARTIKULAR
NA RIN ANG ATING MGA
SCHOOL MATES NA
NANONOOD NGAYON. JUST
TO SHARE BRIEF FACT
ABOUT DIET CULTURE…
ITO AY ANG PAGBIBIGAY
HALAGA SA
PAGPAPAPAYAT O NG
BODY IMAGE JUST TO
AFFIRM THE SOCIALLY
CONSTRUCTED
CLASSIFICATION. AND
DAHIL NGA DITO
NADEDEVELOP ANG ATING
EATING DISORDER DAHIL
SA PAGKAKAROON NG
DIVISION KUNG ANO NGA
BA ANG MGA GOOD FOOD
AND BAD FOOD AND ALSO
WITH THAT BEING SAID
MALAKI YUNG
01:14:03- 01:14:18 JAMES: POSSIBILITIES NA BUMABA
YUNG FOOD CALORIE
INTAKE NG ISANG TAO.

SPEAKING OF CALORIE
INTAKE RENCE, LAST
MONTH LAMANG AY
NAGING TREND SA SOCIAL
MEDIA ANG 800-CALORIE
DIET NI ANGEL LOCSIN AT
CURIOUS LANG DIN AKO
MS KYRA AND ALSO SAYO
RENCE AYOS LANG BA
ANG GANITONG
01:14:19- 01:16:10 MS KYRA: PAMAMARAAN NA MAY
ISESET KA LAMANG NA
NUMBER NG CALORIE TO
 LOSE WEIGHT?

SO HERE’S THE PROBLEM,

ANGEL LOCSIN IS A PUBLIC
FIGURE AND THAT MEAN’S
THAT SHE OCCUPIES A
SPACE THAT IS EVEN
MORE VISIBLE THAN
PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS SO I
CAN’T IMAGINE HOW
HARD IT IS FOR HER TO
HAVE THESE
EXPECTATIONS AND THE
CRITICISMS OF HER BODY.
SHE’S JUST YOU KNOW
HUMAN LIKE ALL OF US
AND I CAN’T IMAGINE
HAVING PEOPLE
RANDOM STRANGERS
ACTUALLY CRITICIZING
HER BODY AS IF IT’S
THEIR BODY. I DO NOT
RECOMMEND AT ALL
HAVING THIS KIND OF
DIET. SHE SAID BY WAY OF
SHE’S HAVING A
DISCLAIMER THAT SHE’S
WORKING WITH
DIETICIAN. HOWEVER, I
FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM
IS THAT BECAUSE SHE
WAS SO VISIBLE, SHE GOT
THIS MASSIVE
INFLUENCE, THE PEOPLE
WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE
THE SAME KIND OF
RESOURCES. ANO YUNG
IISIPIN NATIN BASE ON
THIS KIND OF
INFORMATION NA MAYBE
THAT’S THE ONLY WAY
THE PEOPLE CAN ACHIEVE
THAT SAME LOOK OR
THAT SAME BODY AND IT
SHOULDN’T BE
PRESENTED AS AN
OPTION BECAUSE IT’S
NOT HEALTHY. AN
01:16:10-1:16:16 ACTUAL DIETICIAN OR
 DOCTOR, AN EXERCISE
PERSON OR A TRAINOR IF
THOSE ARE THE
01:16:17- 01:16:20 JAMES; REQUIREMENTS, IT
SHOULDN’T BE AN OPTION
FOR EVERY PEOPLE LIKE
01:16:20- 01:17:05 FLORENCE: US WHO ARE JUST TRYING
TO KEEP HEALTHY THAT’S
THE ONLY THING
REQUIRED FOR US, JUST
TO STAY ALIVE.

(DEAD AIR)

TO STAY ALIVE AND

HEALTHY

ALSO JAMES, JUST TO ADD

UP TO WHAT MA’AM KYRA
MENTIONED EARLIER
WITH REGARDS TO 800-
CALORIE DIET NI MS.
ANGEL LOCSIN BASE SA
ATING RESEARCH ANG
SABI NI JOE SEBASTIAN,
ISANG FITNESS
NUTRITIONIST, AY
NAPAKAHIRAP NAMAN
TALAGANG IMAINTAIN
ANG CALORIE DIET DAHIL
MAAARING MADEVELOP
YUNG MGA DISORDER
PATTERNS PARA
01:17:05-01:17:08 MS. KYRA: MAGKAROON NG ISANG
EATING DISORDER AND
01:17:08- 01:17:12 FLORENCE: SABI NIYA AY ANG
NORMAL NA CALORIE
INTAKE DAW NG ISANG
JAMES: INDIVIDUAL AY
NAKADEPENDE SA
LIFESTYLE NITO AT BASE
PA SA PAG-AARAL ANG
01:17:12-01:17:14 NORMAL NA INTAKE NG
ISANG TAO AY UMAABOT
SA 2000 TO 2500. TAMA PO
01:17:15- 01:17:41 JAMES: BA IYON?
 YES.

AND WITH THAT BEING

SAID…

DAGDAG KO RIN…

(DEAD AIR)

YEAH. DAGDAG KO LANG

DIN RENCE NA YUNG 800-
CALORIE DIET AY ONLY
ADVISED BY DOCTOR SO IF
MERON KAYONG
NAKIKITA SA INTERNET,
MERON KAYONG
01:17:41- 01:18:29 FLORENCE: NAKIKITA SA FACEBOOK,
SA TWITTER OR
WHATSOEVER PLATFORMS
PLEASE TAKE NOTE NA
IBA-IBA TAYO NG
PHYSICAL CONDITION AND
AS WELL AS LIFESTYLE.
BAKA IMBES NA
MAPABUTI AY MAPASAMA
PA TAYO WITH 800-
CALORIE DIET. SO JUST
FOR US TO BE MINDFUL
SYEMPRE CASE TO CASE
BASIS PA RIN NAMAN ITO.

TAMA YAN JAMES KAYA

NAMAN TALAGA…
KAILANGAN NG MASUSING
PAG-AARAL AH PARA…
BAGO NATIN GAWIN OR
GAYAHIN YUNG MGA
NAKIKITA NATIN SA
SOCIAL MEDIA KATULAD
NA LAMANG NITO DAHIL
NANINIWALA NGA TAYO
NA IBA’T IBA TAYO NG
PINAGKAKAABALAHAN
NGAYON NA PANAHON NG
PANDEMYA DAHIL
NALILIMITAHAN NITO
 YUNG MGA KAYA NATING
GAWIN KUMPARA NOONG
MGA UNANG NAGDAANG
TAON BAGO PA LUMABAS
ITONG COVID-19. JUST TO
01:18:29- 01:20:36 MS. KYRA: GIVE CLARIFICATIONS
ABOUT THIS MAAM, WHAT
DO YOU THINK IS THE
EFFECTS OF THE SOCIAL
MEDIA ADVERTISEMENT
OR SOMETHING NA TREND
PARA SA PAGDEVELOP NG
EATING DISORDER? TINGIN
NIYO PO BA
NAKAKAAPEKTO ITO OR
NAKAKASAMA SA ATING
KALAGAYAN LALO NA SA
ATING MGA SCHOOL MATE
NA NANONOOD NGAYON?

IT CONTRIBUTES TO A
MEDIA LANDSCAPE THAT
IS EXCLUSIONARY. LET ME
SAY THAT AGAIN, DIETS
LIKE THIS, NEWS TIPS
LIKE THIS CONTRIBUTES
TO A MEDIA LANDSCAPE
THAT IS EXCLUSIONARY
AND THAT MEANS THAT
PEOPLE WHO LOOKED
DIFFERENT FOR EVERY
HUNDRED REASON,
PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE
DIFFERENT LIFESTYLE,
PEOPLE WHO WEIGHT A
LITTLE BIT MORE FEEL
THAT THERE ARE
SOMETHING WRONG OR
MIGHT CONTINUE TO FEEL
LIKE THERE’S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH THEM OR
THEY ARE NOT EXPOSED
TO MEDIA THAT SAYS
OTHERWISE. THAT’S THE
PROBLEM NA THAT LITTLE
BIT OF NEWS OR
INFORMATION OR
WHATEVER THEY HAVE
CHOOSE TO SEE. WE ARE
FED THROUGH OUR
 PHONES, SOCIAL DEVICES,
SOCIAL ACCOUNTS THOSE
THINGS MATTER. JUST
BECAUSE OF IT’S
COMMUNING EFFECT. I
KNOW THAT YOU GUYS
ARE COMMUNICATION OR
BROADCOM STUDENTS
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
WHAT I REALLY WANT TO
SAY THAT IT’S NOT
ENOUGH FOR US TO TELL
OURSELVES NA I AM
EMPOWERED AND I CAN
DO THIS. ACTUALLY, YES
YOU CAN BUT ALSO YOU
ALSO NEED HELP. NO
MAN IS AN ISLAND. IT
REALLY PAYS TO BE
MINDFUL OF WHAT WE
CONSUME. AND THAT’S
WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT
TO HAVE OR TO CONSUME
THIS KIND OF MEDIA
WITHIN CONTEXT AND TO
NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF
MEDIA FLOATING AROUND
BY THEMSELVES THAT’S
THE HARM. WE NEED
BETTER MEDIA. WE NEED
BETTER NEWS. WE NEED
BETTER INFORMATION
OUT THERE. AND THE
THINGS THAT DO NOT
CONTRIBUTE TO MORE
AWARENESS AND
INFORMATION HAVE AN
EFFECT AND THE EFFECT
IS THAT THEY CLUTTER
WHAT SHOULD BE
01:20:36- 01:21:18 FLORENCE: FOREGROUNDED. SO, I
HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE
ESPECIALLY IN THE
CONTEXT OF YOU KNOW…
WALA NAMANG DIRECT
EFFECT NA ANGEL
LOCSIN’S 800-CALORIE
DIET TO CAUSE X NUMBER
OF PEOPLE TO HAVE AN ED
(EATING DISORDER). NO!
BUT IT MAKES IT HARDER
 FOR PEOPLE TO HELP
THEMSELVES, TO HELP
OTHERS AND TO GET
AWARENESS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH MS

KYRA. FOR THIS ONE MAS
MABUTI NGA JAMES NA
MARAMI NGA TALAGA
ANG MGA ORGANIZATION
NA NAKAKATULONG SA
MGA KAPWA NATIN
ISKOLAR NG BAYAN PARA
MAPAG-USAPAN YUNG
EATING DISORDER AT
BUKOD PA RIYAN NA
HINDI MO NAITATANON
ANO. MERON TAYONG
01:21:18- 01:21:56 JAMES: BATAS PARA MAGBIGAY
NG EDUKASYON
PATUNGKOL SA EATING
DISORDER. ITO ANG
EATING DISORDER
AWARENESS ACT NI
MIRRIAM DEFENSOR
SANTIAGO NA IPINASA
NOONG 2005 AND 2008.
LAYUNIN NG BATAS NA
ITO AY MAKAPAGBIGAY
NG SAPAT NA EDUKASYON
SA MGA KAGAYA NATING
ESTUDYANTE PATI NA RIN
SA MGA MAGULANG KUNG
ANO BA ANG EATING
DISORDER AT ANG EPEKTO
NITO SA MGA TAO.

TAMA KA RENCE ‘NO.

SAKOP DIN NG BATAS NA
ANG DEPED, CHED
GAYUNDIN ANG
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AY MAGBIGAY NG
AGARANG PAG-AARAL AT
PAGSASALIKSIK UKOL SA
EATING DISORDERS. PATI
NA RIN ANG
01:21:56- 01:23:10 MS. KYRA: PAGMOMONITOR SA MGA
ESTUDYANTE NA MAY
SINTOMAS NG EATING
DISORDER. TO BE HONEST,
I WAS SHOCKED TO KNOW
NA MERON PALANG MGA
EXISTING LAWS NA
TANGKANG I-ADRESS
ITONG EATING DISORDER
SA BANSA. PERO ANG
TANONG DITO MS KYRA,
SA TINGIN MO BA AY
NARARAMDAMAN NG MGA
PILIPINO ANG BATAS NA
ITO LALO NA NG MGA
NAKARARANAS NG
EATING DISORDER SA
MALIIT O SA MALAKI
MANG PARAAN?

YEAH. NO. THE SIMPLE

ANSWER IS THAT AHM…
THE LAW IS WELL AND
GOOD I’VE SEEN THIS,
I’’VE READ IT BUT IT’S
JUST THAT NASAAN YUNG
IMPLEMENTING BODIES
WHO ARE ACTUALLY
CAPABLE TO PUTTING THIS
INTO USE. SO,
PERSONALLY, I REALLY
WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY
YES BUT UNFORTUNATELY
WALA NAMANG FUNDING
TO MAKE… SORRY AGAIN.
UNFORTUNATELY, AGAIN,
THE PROBLEM IS THAT
THERE’S NO FOLLOW UP
TO THE LAW AND THERE’S
ONLY ONE WIDER STUDY
THAT I KNOW AND I THINK
IT’S QUITE OUTDATED AT
01:23:10- 01:23:26 FLORENCE: THIS POINT. AND IT’S NOT
CONCLUSIVE KASI IT’S
ONLY ONE STUDY BY
ITSELF SO THAT’S THE
PROBLEM WITH THIS LAW.
EVENTHOUGH IT
MANDATE DEPED AND
CHED THOSE
 DEPARTMENTS ARE ALSO
QUITE BIG AND
BUREAUCRATIC AND THEY
ARE ALSO HEAVILY
CRITICIZED. SO, AMININ
NA LANG NATIN NA IF IT
GOES TO DEPED AMONG
THE LIST OF THOUSANDS
01:23:26- 01:24:45 MS. KYRA: OF THINGS THEY NEED TO
DO I DO NOT THINK THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT THEY
HAVE A CHANCE TO DO.
RIGHT? YUP.

WELL, SINCE YUN NGA

NATALAKAY NATIN MS
KYRA NA MAY GANITO
PALA. WHAT DO YOU
THINK IS THE
IMPORTANCE OF HAVING
THIS KIND OF LAW SA
ATING BANSA AT KUNG
MAGKAKAROON MAN NG
IMPLEMENTING BODY ANO
SA TINGIN NIYO ANG
MAGIGING EPEKTO NITO
SA ATIN?

I THINK IF THE LAW

WERE… AND THE LAW AS I
UNDERSTAND IT REQUIRES
THAT THE DEPARTMENTS
FIND WAYS TO STUDY
EATING DISORDERS AND
TO PREVENT THEM IN
FILIPINO CHILDREN BUT IT
ALSO EXCLUDES FILIPINO
ADULTS FOR EXAMPLE…
SO THE LAW MUST BE… IT
HAS TO BE
STRENGTHENED I THINK
AND IT ALSO HAS AN
ATTACHED BUDGET SO I’M
NOT AGAIN A POLITICIAN
BUT I KNOW. I THINK IN
ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE
IT NEEDS TO BE AGAIN IT
STARTS WITH THE
 AWARENESS ALSO
ACCOUNTABILITY ALSO
NEEDS TO BE NOT JUST
TOP DOWN IT HAS TO BE
COORDINATED ACROSS
DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES
AND SYSTEMS. THAT’S
01:24:45- 01:24:47 FLORENCE: WHY AWARENESS IS SO
IMPORTANT. IF PEOPLE
ARE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE
THAT EATING DISORDERS
01:24:47- 01:25:15 JAMES: ARE SERIOUS AND
PREVALENT THEN WE
CAN HAVE A MORE
COORDINATED EFFORT
PRIVATE AND PUBLIC AS
WELL. SO PARANG IF YOU
HAVE A LAW THAT SAYS
THAT THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT BABABA
SIYA SA LGU’S MERON
SIYANG IMPLEMENTATION
IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR
AS WELL AS IN THE
BARANGAYS SO
MAGKAKAROON KA NG
HOTLINE OR AN
INFORMATION CAMPAIGN
AT THE VERY MINIMUM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH MS

KYRA. JAMES?

THE VERY MINIMUM THAT

WE CAN DO AY TALAGANG
MAKAKATULONG NA I-
INSTITUTIONALIZE NATIN
YUNG GANITONG
CAMPAIGN, SA GANITONG
PROJECTS FOR THE
CAUSES AND THE MATTER
OF EATING DISORDER.
PERO AYAN ITUTULOY
NATING MULI ANG ATING
TALAKAYAN.
MAGBABALIK ANG NEW
NORMAL 101 PAGKALIPAS
NG ILANG MINUTO.
 HUWAG KAYONG AALIS
DAHIL DITO MODERN
TAYO.

SEGMENT 4
TIMESTAMP SPEAKER TRANSCRIPT
01:30:55- 01:31:05 JAMES: AYAN! MARAMING
SALAMAT SA MGA
PATULOY PA RING
TUMUTUTOK SA ATING
PROGRAMA. WELCOME
BACK SA NEW NORMAL
101. PARTNER?
01:31:05- 01: 31:30 FLORENCE:
YES JAMES! THANK YOU
SO MUCH SA MGA
PATULOY NA NAKIKINIG
SA ATIN. HUWAG NA
NATING PATAGALIN PA
PARA SA ATING LAST
SEGMENT. MS KYRA
SINCE WE ARE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE
PANDEMIC RIGHT NOW,
PAANO NITO
NAAAPEKTUHAN ANG
STATUS NG EATING
DISORDER SA PILIPINAS?
AND WHY DO YOU
THINK BEING AWARE
AND KNOWLEDGEABLE
ABOUT EATING
DISORDER IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO BE PART
OF THE NEW NORMAL?
01: 31:30- 01:33:40 MS. KYRA:

OKAY SO YUNG EATING

DISORDER AWARENESS
SUPPORT GROUP, WE…
YUNG COUNT NAMIN OF
MEMBERS INCREASED
DRAMATICALLY
DURING THE LAST FEW
MONTHS THAT WE
WERE IN LOCKDOWN. I
THINK WE WENT FROM
JUST 110 OR 120 TO 220 I
THINK SO YOU CAN
IMAGINE THAT THERE’S
A LOT MORE PEOPLE,
FILIPINOS
SPECIFICALLY, WHO ARE
ACTIVELY TRYING TO
FIND A COMMUNITY FOR
SUPPORT AND THAT
MEANS THAT WE ARE
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
FALLING THROUGH THE
CRACKS, WHO HAVE NO
RECOURSE, WHO NEED
PEOPLE OR NEED A
COMMUNITY TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT’S
HAPPENING TO US SO
THAT’S ONE VERY
SPECIFIC METRIC BUT
ALSO AGAIN EATING
DISORDERS… THERE
ARE A LOT OF WAY
SOMEBODY CAN
DEVELOP AN EATING
DISORDER BUT ED’S ARE
ALSO A WAY OF COPING
WITH UNTENABLE,
VOLATILE AND
UNCERTAIN SITUATION.
AND THAT MEANS THAT
BASICALLY DESCRIBES
WHAT WE ARE LIVING
THROUGH RIGHT NOW
WHICH IS PANDEMIC. WE
DON’T KNOW HOW
LONG WE ARE GOING TO
BE IN THIS POSITION. WE
DON’T KNOW… YOU
KNOW PARANG A
THREAT OF COVID IS
EVER PRESENT AND THE

01:33:40- 01:33:50
01:33:51- 01:34:31 JAMES:
STRESS OF THAT IS
NATURAL AND SO A LOT
OF PEOPLE OR I CAN
IMAGINE THAT A LOT OF
OUR COPING
MECHANISM RIGHT NOW
AREN’T FULL-GEARED.
AGAIN, EATING
DISORDERS ARE ONE
WAYS… IS A SET OF
SYMPTOMS AS WELL
THAT CONTRIBUTE TO
HOW WE COPE WITH
UNCERTAINTY. SO,
AWARENESS OF WHAT
ED’S CAN LOOK LIKE IS
THE FIRST STEP
FORWARD TRYING TO
FIND HELP SO THAT IT
DOESN’T GET WORSE
THAT WE CAN RECOVER.
SO, I HOPE THAT IT
ANSWERS YOUR
QUESTION. IT IS VITAL
SPECIALLY LIVING
THROUGH
UNCERTAINTY. TO BE
AWARE OF HOW WE
ARE REACTING, OF
HOW WE ARE COPING
AND WHAT ARE
COPING MECHANISMS
ARE AND THAT MIGHT
LEAD TO DISORDER IN
EATING HABITS.
(DEAD AIR)
THANK YOU, MS. KYRA.
BAGO…YES… PERO
BAGO MATAPOS ANG
ATING PROGRAMA
MERON PO TAYONG
NAKAHANDANG
 TATLONG KATANUNGAN
MULA SA ATING MGA
KAPWA ISKO AT ISKA.
SYEMPRE UNA NA
RIYAN ANG UNANG
PLACARD NA “HOPE
YOU’RE OKAY”
MS. KYRA: PANGALAWA AY
01:34:31-01:34:36 “YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND”
AT PANGATLO NAMAN
AY “EDUCATE”.
BASICALLY, PIPILIIN
FLORENCE: NIYO LANG PO ANG
01:34:36-01:34:38 PAGKAKASUNUD-
SUNOD NG TANONG
MS. KYRA: PERO…BASICALLY
01:34:38-01:34:40 PIPILIIN NIYO LANG PO
FLORENCE: ANG PAGKASUNUD-
01:34:40-01:34:47 SUNOD NG TANONG
PERO MASASAGOT ANG
LAHAT NG TANONG. SO,
KERI BA MS KYRA?

WAIT LANG. SO I GET

THE THREE PLACARDS
MS. KYRA: AT A TIME TO ANSWER
01:34:47-01:34:55 THE QUESTIONS. TAMA
BA?

FLORENCE: YES, PO TAMA PO IYON.

01:34:55- 01:35:16

OKAY SURE LET’S GO.

OKAY SO AYAN ANG

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
KAYA NAMAN HUWAG
NA NATING PATAGALIN
PA. WHAT DO YOU
THINK IS THE FIRST
PLACARD THAT YOU
WANTED TO CHOOSE,
MS. KYRA?

MS. KYRA: I’LL GO WITH ‘HOPE

01:35:17- 01:36:18
FLORENCE:
01:36:19-01:36:23
01:36:23- 01:36:27
JAMES:
01:36:28- 01:36:30
YOU’RE OKAY” TAMA
BA ‘YON?
HOPE YOU’RE OKAY. SO
BASED ON OUR
QUESTION, “KAPAG BA
MAY NAKIKITA AKONG
MGA SINTOMAS SA
AKING SARILI NA SA
TINGIN KO AY
KAPAREHO NG ISA SA
MGA URI NG EATING
DISORDER NA SINASABI
SA INTERNET DAPAT BA
AKONG MANIWALA
AGAD? IS IT BAD TO
SELF DIAGNOSE? HOPE
YOU’RE OKAY
QUESTION.
PHYSICIANS WILL
ALWAYS WARN
AGAINST SELF
DIAGNOSIS BUT WELL I
THINK BEING AWARE
THAT YOU’RE GOING
THROUGH SOMETHING
IS NOT BAD. SO DON’T
DIAGNOSE YOURSELF
IF YOU SEE THAT YOU
HAVE ONE OF THESE
SYMPTOMS THAT
YOU’RE GOING
THROUGH PERIODS
THAT RESEMBLES
EATING DISORDER. I
WOULD SUGGEST THAT
YOU MONITOR
YOURSELF FIRST THAT
YOU GET AS MUCH AS
CONCRETE
INFORMATION FROM
RESPECTABLE AND
VALIDATED
NUTRITIONIST AND AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE
 FIND A PROFESSIONAL
MS. KYRA IT COULD BE A
01:36:30-01:36:34 DOCTOR OR
PSYCHIATRIST OR
JAMES: PSYCHOLOGIST. SO, IT
01:36:34-01:36:35 ONLY MEANS… BUT
DON’T DISTRUST YOUR
MS. KYRA: GUT YOU KNOW. I
01:36:35-01:36:36
WOULD SAY TAKE
NOTES, DON’T PANIC
01:36:36-01:36:47 AND FIND SOMEBODY
WITH THE AUTHORITY
JAMES: TO HELP YOU.
01:36:48- 01:36:52
FLORENCE:
01:36:52- 01:37:08 I AGREE. SO, THAT’S FOR
OUR HOPE YOU’RE
OKAY QUESTION. AND
FOR OUR SECOND ONE…
JAMES.

(DEAD AIR)

GO MS. KYRA CHOOSE.

MS. KYRA:
01:37:09-01:38:15 SIGE TRY NATIN YUNG
“EDUCATE”

I’M SORRY?

YUNG “EDUCATE”

(DEAD AIR)

ALRIGHT.

SO, FOR OUR “EDUCATE”

QUESTION. MAAM KYRA
IS ASKING FOR THE
EDUCATE QUESTION. SO,
 THIS IS HOW IT GOES,
HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY
AND SOCIAL MEDIA
HELP OR MAY HELP IN
RAISING AWARENESS
ABOUT EATING
DISORDER? THAT IS FOR
OUR “EDUCATE”
QUESTION”

THANK YOU. SO, FOR

THAT I THINK SOCIAL
MEDIA IS SO EASY AND
THAT’S GREAT BUT
ALSO DANGEROUS. SO,
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
SOCIAL MEDIA IS EASY
AND EVERYWHERE.
THAT’S ONE WAY IF YOU
CAN CREATE OR
SURROUND YOURSELF
WITH VALIDATED
INFORMATION. YOU CAN
CREATE OR FIND
INFORMATION ON
JAMES: SOCIAL MEDIA AND USE
01:38:15- 01:38:36 IT AS A GATEWAY
TOWARDS BETTER
SOURCES THAT’S ONE
WAY SOCIAL MEDIA
CAN BE HELPFUL. AND
ALSO, I WON’T LIE THAT
A LOT OF COMMUNITIES
LIVE IN SOCIAL MEDIA.
A LOT OF ADVOCACY
CAMPAIGNS FOR
EXAMPLES FROM
MENTAL HEATH PH
BASED ON TECHNOLOGY
AND SOCIAL MEDIA. SO,
USING IT TO
UNDERSTAND AND TO
KNOW THAT THERE ARE
MS. KYRA: PART OF COMMUNITIES
01:38:37- 01:40:00 OUTTHERE AND
UNDERSTANDING THAT
YOU CAN USE IT AS A
PLATFORM TO ACCESS
INFORMATION THAT
CAN BE VALIDATED.
KEEPING THAT IN MIND
IS A FRAME OF
REFERENCE. THAT’S
HOW SOCIAL MEDIA
CAN HELP.

THANK YOU, MS. KYRA.

I’M SORRY FOR THE
DELAY KANINA MEDYO
MAULAN. PERO
ANYWAY WE’RE DONE
WITH OUR LAST
QUESTION WHICH IS
UNDER “YOU GOT A
FRIEND” SO SABI
NAMAN DITO. “PAANO
KO NAMAN
MATUTULUNGAN ANG
MGA KAKILALA O
MAHAL KO SA BUHAY
KUNG SAKALING
NAKAKARANAS OR
NAKARARANAS SILA NG
SINTOMAS NG EATING
DISORDER?”

THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT. ONE WAY
TO DO IT WOULD BE
HELP THEM IDENTIFY
YOU AS A SAFE PERSON
AND ONE WAY TO DO
THIS IS TO OPEN YOUR
COMMUNICATION AND
TO LISTEN WITHOUT
JUDGMENT. AND THE
SECOND ONE IS REALLY
HARD TO DO, ONE WAY
TO DO IT, ONE WAY TO
PRACTICE IT IS TO ASK
 THEM WHAT THEY’RE
DOING, TO ECHO THEIR
EMOTIONS BACK TO
THEM SO THAT THEY
KNOW THAT THEY’RE
BEING HEARD AND TO
TRY AND PRACTICE TO
JAMES: LISTENING. SO, HOW
01:40:01- 01:40:18 YOU IDENTIFY
YOURSELF AS A SAFE
PERSON IS QUITE
SIMPLE, TELL THEM
THAT THERE’S NO
PRESSURE TO RESPOND
BUT THAT YOU’RE
THERE. THE OPTIONS IS
OPEN FOR THEM TO
REACH OUT TO YOU.
IDENTIFYING YOURSELF
AS A SAFE PERSON
PARANG YOU CAN TALK
TO ME ANYTHING. I’LL
BE HERE WHENEVER
MS. KYRA: YOU NEED ME. REALLY
01:40:18- 01:41:15 HELPS OTHER PEOPLE
TO KNOW THAT THEY
ARE NOT ALONE
EVENTHOUGH THEY ARE
GOING THROUGH
