Historical Note:

The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina (PLMar) is Locally Funded university in Marikina City.
Then-Mayor Marides C. Fernando, Congressman Marcelino “Marcy” Teodoro, and Dr. Jerome
Mendoza envisioned it as a Higher Educational Institution that offers affordable and high-quality
tertiary education to the city locals. It was established as a university through the City Ordinance
No. 015, Series of 2003 by the Marikina City Council on the 22nd day of January 2003.

One of the significant academic programs that the PLMar offers are the Bachelor of Science in
Nursing (BSN), Caregiving and Medical Health Care Assistant (MHCA). The esteemed

3
baccalaureate program was initiated way back June 2, 2003, with an initial number of 450 enrollees
for its first year. The campus was initially situated at Concepcion Integrated School and was later
transferred to Brazil St. Greenheights Subdivision, Concepcion Uno, Marikina City in 2010.

The first acting Head of College of Nursing was Mr. Jeffrey C. Trinidad, RN, MAN, M.Ed. Mr.
Trinidad is also the Coordinator in MHCA and Caregiving together with Ms. Clea E. Lim as the
head of MCHA and Caregiving. During the time of Mr. Trinidad, the BSN curriculum was guided
by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Memorandum Order No. 30, Series of 2001,
and later by the CHED Memorandum Order No. 8. Through the said memorandum, the University
was then authorized to run the nursing school with Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center
(ARMMC) as the first hospital affiliated to the PLMar, wherein students could obtain clinical
experience, otherwise known as Related Learning Experience (RLE). Even to this day, the hospital
continues to be the base hospital as well as other secondary hospitals situated within Marikina
City.

On the following year Prof. Emilie Joy B. Mejia, RN, MAN was appointed as new Head of MHCA
and Caregiving. In 2005, Prof. Arlene Quiming, RN, MAN was appointed as new Head of College
of Nursing together with Prof. Ritchel Acuña, RN, MAN as Clinical Coordinator. While in MHCA
and Caregiving Prof. Susan Josephine Marciana F. Rivera, RN, MAN was appointed as new Head
together with Prof. Dexter R. Pimentel, M.D as Coordinator.

Sophomore year is one of the most exciting periods of a nursing student’s life as this is the time
wherein nursing students get to experience wearing their cap and pin for the first time. In 2005,
under Prof. Quiming, the first Capping and Pinning Ceremony was held at the Our Lady of
Abandoned Church in San Roque, Marikina. Two hundred diligent students graced this event at
that time. On the following year Prof. Marita D. Baricaua, RN, MAN, EdD was appointed as the
First Dean of the College of Nursing.

April 28, 2007, the College of Nursing held its first graduation at the Teatro Marikina, which
consisted of 67 students in total. Subsequently, 57 of them took the December 2007 Philippine
Nurses Licensure Examination (PNLE), in which 50 of them passed, which gave the University
an overall passing rate of 87%.

4
In 2008, Prof. Aurisita M. Delos Reyes, RN, MAN was appointed as the new Dean. And the name
College of Nursing was changed into College of Health Sciences as allied courses began to be
integrated into the curriculum. On the following year Prof. Jeannete De Jesus, RN, MaEd was
appointed as new Coordinator on MCHA and Caregiving and later on become the Head of
Caregiving. In 2010, Prof. Madelene T. Aquino, RN, MAN was appointed as the new Dean of the
College of Health Sciences, Prof. Jacqueline M. Calaycay, RN, MSN, MAN as the Overall Clinical
Coordinator in Nursing and Prof. Marissa S. Tolentino, RN, MAN as the Program Coordinator in
Caregiving. Furthermore, in the same year, Ms. Irene Kate F. Nicolas made history as the first
alumnus to garner a Top 10 placement in the December 2010 PNLE with a general average of
85.20%.

In the Academic Year 2008-2009, a new BSN curriculum was implemented under the CHED
Memorandum Order No. 5, Series of 2008 and soon replaced by CHED Memorandum No. 14,
Series of 2009. It was an Outcome-Based Education curriculum that removed the course program
NCM 105 Related Learning Experiences (CMO No. 05) and changed it to NCM 105 Care of
Clients with Maladaptive Patterns of Behavior. Professional courses were also added, such as
Electives 1 and 2 and the Intensive Nursing Practicum.

On the following year under the leadership of Dean Aquino and Prof. Calaycay, the CHED issued
the first Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) of PLMar, Renewed September 2018 for the
recognition of the BSN program of the College of Health Sciences in the PLMar and was
accredited Level 1 by Association of Local Colleges and Universities Commission on
Accreditation (ALCUCOA). In the following year, the PLMar ranked 54 out of 515 for the Best
Nursing Schools in the Philippines, which gave honor and pride to the university and the College
of Health Sciences.

In the Academic Year 2018-2019, the previous BSN curriculum was replaced by the CHED
Memorandum Order No. 15, Series of 2017. Stated in this memorandum was the abolishment of
summer classes to be implemented to Batch 2022 onwards. NCM 114 Care of the Older Person,
NCM 120 Decent Work Employment and Transcultural Nursing, and NCM 123 Professional
Nursing Ethics and Jurisprudence were also added as new professional courses.

Prof. Jacqueline M. Calaycay, RN, MSN, MAN is the current Dean of the College of Health
Sciences, while Prof. Marissa S. Tolentino, RN, MAN serves as the Program Head. 450 students
are enrolled in the first year of college at this time (AY 2021-2022). When the COVID-19
Pandemic happened in March 2020, Dean Calaycay and clinical instructors implemented flexible
learning for nursing students while face-to-face sessions were prohibited. Nursing students have
access to synchronous and asynchronous sessions and modular learning through this modality.

Extra- Curricular Activities outside the College

The College of Health Sciences provides extra-curricular activities for the students. These
aim to help students gain knowledge through hands-on activities that provide experience outside
the school premises. Both students and professors participate in these activities, conducted in
different barangays in town. On October 10, 2019, a Flu vaccination drive was held at the Brgy.
Concepcion Uno Health Center in Marikina City, where student nurses could administer the
vaccine to senior citizens. Dean Aquino and Prof. Calaycay spearheaded the deployment.

In July 2018, the government sponsored PhilHealth Card Distribution was held in different
barangays in Marikina City. The activity was conducted in sites such as the Teatro Marikina and
several basketball courts named Fortune, Malanday Bulelak, and Tumana, where college student
nurses were assigned to do health assessments, i.e., taking vital signs, particularly the blood

11
pressure, of every new PhilHealth member. The college was filled with joy as they were able to
render high-quality nursing services to the people of Marikina.

This activity would not be possible without the guidance of Dean Madelene T. Aquino,
RN, MAN, Professor Jacqueline M. Calaycay, RN, MSN, MAN, Professor Marissa S. Tolentino,
RN, MAN, Prof. Ruby Rose Bontigao, RN, MAN, Prof. Victoria Bedonia, RN, MAN, Prof.
Emerita Abendanio, RN, MAN, and Prof. Mary Jean Cynthia Masinda, RN, MAN. A two-day
annual program called Oplan Kaluluwa is also one of the extra-curricular activities of the college
that lets student nurses volunteer and be part of the healthcare team in First Aid Stations in different
cemeteries in Marikina. This program helps them widen their field of knowledge while under the
supervision of the College Dean and the Marikina City Health Office Nurses and Doctors,
including the staff.

Meanwhile, natural and man-made calamities such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and
wars, generally result in the initiation of activities that demand humanitarian assistance. To ensure
fast and efficient humanitarian relief operations, the Human Assistance sector must design
operations around operational processes that could satisfy the needs of the said relief operations.
Last August 2018, the Marikina River had reached a height of 20.6 meters during nighttime which
prompted Alarm Level 3 of the Marikina River Alarm Level System. Hence, forcing thousands of
residents to evacuate. The College of Health Sciences took part in the massive relief operations to
offer help by distributing food and potable water provided by the city government in evacuation
centers. On top of that, the college also made enormous efforts to deliver goods on a house-to-
house basis as stranded individuals could not go out and work to earn for their family’s needs.
With this exemplary service, it is without a doubt that the college has a pure heart and initiative to
help others in need without hesitation.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

CORE SUBJECTS:

GED 111 – Understanding Self

The course deals with the nature of identity, as well as the factors and forces that affect the
development and maintenance of personal identity.

The directive to Know Oneself has inspired countless and varied ways to comply. Among
the questions that everyone has had to grapple with at one time or other is “Who am I?” At no
other period is this question asked more urgently than in adolescence— traditionally believed to
be a time of vulnerability and great possibilities. Issues of self and identity are among the most
critical for the young

This course is intended to facilitate the exploration of the issues and concerns regarding
self and identity to arrive at a better understanding of oneself. It strives to meet this goal by
stressing the integration of the personal with the academic— contextualizing matters discussed in
the classroom and in the everyday experiences of students—making for better learning, generating
a new appreciation for the learning process, and developing a more critical and reflective attitude
while enabling them to manage and improve their selves to attain a better quality of life.

The course is divided into three major parts: The first part seeks to understand the construct
of the self from various disciplinal perspectives: philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and

24
psychology—as well as the more traditional division between the East and West—each seeking to
provide answers to the difficult but essential question of “What is the self?" And raising, among
others, the question: “Is there even such a construct as the self?"

The second part explores some of the various aspects that make up the self, such as the
biological and material up to and including the more recent Digital Self. The third and final part
identifies three areas of concern for young students: learning, goal setting, and managing stress. It
also provides for the more practical application of the concepts discussed in this course and enables
them the hands-on experience of developing self-help plans for self-regulated learning, goal
setting, and self-care.

This course includes the mandatory topics on Family Planning and Population Education.
