 Lesson 1: Vision, Mission and Core Values of MSU-IIT
The MSU-IIT vision, mission, and core values play a crucial role in shaping its identity,
guiding its actions, and influencing its overall direction. These elements provide a framework for
decision-making, strategic planning, and organizational culture. As such, it creates a strategic
framework that informs the university's strategic plans, policies, and day-to-day operations. They
help maintain consistency, coherence, and a shared sense of purpose among the diverse
stakeholders within the university community.

Vision

To provide quality education for the sustainable development of the nation and the global
community.

Our Core Values

To realize our vision and mission, we dedicate ourselves to the following code of conduct:

Honor and Excellence

We are conscientious, and we take pride in the amount of care, skill, and heart we put into our work
to produce excellent outcomes—ones that add value to the people and places around us. We uphold high
standards of performance in all the things that we do because we are passionate about making the world a
better place. We believe in giving ourselves fully to all our undertakings because the world deserves no
less. We strive to realize our full potential and make meaningful contributions to humanity.

We value integrity and thus, strive to stand up for what is morally right. We make sure we fulfill
commitments as a gesture of respect. We believe that honesty and trustworthiness are important tenets of
good character.

Service and Compassion

We have faith in our shared humanity. We fully recognize that in a world of volatility, uncertainty,
complexity, and ambiguity, we need to be people for others. We open ourselves up to a world of needs, and

COMPILED BY MS. BRITTANY C. ENGLATIERA

mind. As such, we are aware that problems can be solved through imagination, research, experimentation,
and play.

We value curiosity and embrace generous inquiries. We constantly ask questions and challenge
mental models to bring about new and out-of-the-box ideas. We embrace the diversity of expertise and
break boundaries between fields. We ensure that our pursuit of knowledge is grounded in the issues facing
our communities. We work and collaborate to find creative solutions to address them.

Lesson 2: Valuing Physical Education

Physical activity becomes meaningful if we
know the values and benefits out of performing
physical activity. Thus, PE is an essential subject
area for this learning which helps people to become
competent movers, which in turn builds confidence
and lays a foundation for participation in lifetime
physical activity. Acquiring the substantial
knowledge about the importance of valuing physical
activity to day-to-day basis is a factor towards
healthy, prosperous and useful life. Moreover, it
allows us to become more efficient and effective in
performing our daily task in our community.

Physical Education and Its Goal

The main goal of PE is fitness. To live a ―good life means to have an ability to live healthy,
satisfying, and useful life. This means that an individual satisfies his basic needs as physical well -
being for love, affection, security, and self-respect. PE classes teach individuals skills that they
will use throughout their entire lives.

Total human development can only be achieved through properly and carefully selected
physical activities in terms of their physical, social, emotional, and well-being. The most well-
known goal of physical education class is to promote fitness- but there’s more to this aspiration
than breaking students out of stationary lifestyle.

Furthermore, PE is not only physical development but also to equip the learners with
knowledge, skills, capacities, values, and the enthusiasm to maintain and carry on a healthy
lifestyle. It promotes physical fitness, develops motor skills and the understanding of rules,
concepts and strategies of playing games and sports. Students learn to either work as part of a
team, or as individuals in a wide variety of competitive activities

Physical Education and Its Legal Bases

PE in the country came a long way and get to this point wherein its structure and approach
became educational and significant. Nowadays, PE involves the learning processes of skills, the
acquisition of knowledge and the development through games, sport, dance, and health fitness
activities. With the current laws being implemented, it strengthens the foundation of PE and allows
offering extensive programs that would foster development of health:

Article 14, Section 19 of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines.

“The State shall promote Physical Education and encourage sports program, league
competitions, and amateur sports including training for international competition to foster self -
discipline, teamwork, and excellence for the development of a healthy and alert citizenry. All
educational institutions shall undertake regular sports activities throughout the country and the
cooperation with athletic club and other sectors.

Article 1 of the International Charter of Physical

Education and Sports, UNESCO, Paris (1978)
and Interdisciplinary Regional Meeting of
Experts in PE, UNESCO, Brisbane, Australia,
(1982).

Physical Education and Sports is a

fundamental right to all and this right should not
be treated as different principle from the right to
adequate food, shelter, and medical care

MODULE 2
Lesson 1: Understanding Wellness
Lesson 2: Lifestyle Risk Factors Affecting Wellness

Lesson 3: Readiness to Change towards Wellness

Lesson 1: Understanding Wellness

Generations of people have viewed health simply as the absence of disease, and that view
largely prevails today. For most people, the term health is being referred to the overall condition
of a person’s body or mind and to the presence or absence of illness or injury. On the other hand,
wellness is a relatively new concept that expands this idea of health to include our ability to achieve
optimal health. Beyond the simple presence or absence of disease, wellness refers to optimal health
and vitality—to living life to its fullest. Although we use the terms health and wellness
interchangeably, it is important first to understand that they are different from one another.
For better understanding of these two concepts, in short, health is a state of being, whereas,
wellness is the state of living a healthy lifestyle. Health refers to physical, mental, and social well -
being which can be influenced by factors, such as your genes, age, and family history while is
largely determined by the decisions you make about how you live. This is the optimal health and
vitality, encompassing all the dimensions of well-being. According to social scientists, there are
seven dimensions of wellness that we need to develop:

1. Physical Wellness

Our physical wellness includes not just our body’s

overall condition and the absence of disease, but also our
fitness level and our ability to take care for ourselves. The
higher our fitness level, the higher our level of physical
wellness will be. Similarly, as we become more able to
care for our own physical needs, we ensure greater
physical wellness. To achieve optimum physical wellness,
we need to make choices that help us to avoid illnesses and
injuries. The decisions we make now and the habits we
develop in our life will largely determine the length and
quality of our life

2. Emotional Wellness

Our emotional wellness reflects to our ability to

understand and deal with feelings. Emotional wellness
involves attending to our own thoughts and feelings,
monitoring your reactions, and identifying obstacles to
emotional stability. Self-acceptance is our personal
satisfaction with yourself, which might exclude society’s
expectations, whereas self-esteem relates to the way you
think others perceive you. Self-confidence can be a part of
both acceptance and esteem. Achieving this type of wellness
means finding solutions to emotional problems, with
professional help if necessary

3. Intellectual Wellness

Those who enjoy intellectual wellness constantly

challenge their minds. An active mind is essential to wellness
because it detects problems, finds solutions, and directs
behavior. People who enjoy intellectual wellness never stop
learning; they continue trying to learn new things throughout
their lifetime. They seek out and relish new experiences and
challenges.

4. Interpersonal Wellness

Our interpersonal (or social) wellness is defined by

our ability to develop and maintain satisfying and supportive
relationships. Such relationships are essential to physical and
emotional health. Social wellness requires participating in
and contributing to your community and to society.

5. Spiritual Wellness

To enjoy spiritual wellness is to possess a set of

guiding beliefs, principles, or values that give meaning and
purpose to your life, especially in difficult times. The
spiritually well person focuses on the positive aspects of life
and finds spirituality to be an antidote for negative feelings
such as cynicism, anger, and pessimism. Organized religions
help many people develop spiritual health. Religion,
however, is not the only source or form of spiritual wellness.

COMPILED BY MS. BRITTANY C. ENGLATIERA

Many people find meaning and purpose in their lives on their own—
through nature, art, meditation, or good works—or with their loved
ones

6. Environmental Wellness

Our environmental wellness is defined by the liva bility of your

surroundings. Personal health depends on the health of the planet—from the
safety of the food supply to the degree of violence in society. Our physical
environment either supports our wellness or diminishes it. To improve our
environmental wellness, you can learn about and protect yourself against
hazards in our surroundings and work to make our world a cleaner and safer
place.

7. Financial Wellness

Financial wellness refers to your ability to live within your

means and manage your money in a way that gives you peace of mind.
It includes balancing your income and expenses, staying out of debt,
saving for the future, and understanding your emotions about money.

Lesson 2: Lifestyle Risk Factors Affecting Wellness

After learning these dimensions of wellness, one thing that we probably think at this point
are the everyday habits that we do in our life. Likewise, it made us also realize that it is really very
important that we need to change some of our bad habits so that we can attain the desired level of
health. However, change takes a long time because it needs repeated experiments and failures. But
for the ongoing betterment, the attempts that we are going to make are unquestionably worthwhile
and one success often leads to another. In conclusion, wellness is ever-changing but a fluctuating
process. It is a lifestyle, a personalized approach, living our lives in a way that allows us to become
the best kind. The present and future lies in the choices we make today.

However, with the modern advancements that we have right now, it makes our lives more
convenient and dependent. Hence, our work becomes increasingly easier and overly better. But at
some point, our too much dependence to technology enables us to be less active and be exposed
to several risk behaviors that affect our wellness:

COMPILED BY MS. BRITTANY C. ENGLATIERA

1. Physical Inactivity

Physical inactivity has been associated with increasing

prevalence and mortality of cardiovascular and other diseases.
As such, WHO states that insufficient physical activity is the
4th leading risk factor for mortality. Approximately 3.2 million
deaths each year are attributable to insufficient physical
activity. People who are insufficiently physically active have a
20% to 30% increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to
those who engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity
physical activity most days of the week (10).

2. Alcohol Abuse

In the Philippines, people’s health is being threatened

from harm caused by the products and practices of the alcohol
industry. According to Movendi International, one in three
Filipinos (33.1%) reported high-risk and heavy alcohol use
with consuming six or more alcoholic beverages in one
sitting, with men used more alcohol than women (51.5% vs.
28.9%).As we all know, alcohol interferes with the brain’s
communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain
looks and works. These disruptions can change mood and
behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with
coordination.

3. Smoking

The Department of Health in the Philippines stated

that the tobacco use decreased from 29.7% in 2009 and 23.8%
in 2015 to 19.5% in 2021. Still, one in five, or 15.1 million
Filipino adults aged 15 years and older, are current tobacco
users. The percentage of adults using tobacco was eight times
higher among males (34.7%) than females (4.2%). Smoking
in the Philippines caused serious health consequences for
many years. Over 112 000 Filipinos die from tobacco-related
diseases each year and about 23% of male deaths and 10% of
female deaths are caused by tobacco

4. Poor Sleeping Habits

Poor sleep habits, like having an irregular sleep schedule or

consuming too much caffeine or alcohol, can interfere with your
sleep quality. In a study of nursing students, smoking and daily
coffee consumption were two of the largest factors associated with
poor sleep quality.

5. Recreational Drug Use

Recreational drugs are usually started to provide pleasure, or improve life in some way.
Drugs such as amphetamines, cannabis (marijuana), cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, and opioids, increase your
risk of having a stroke and developing heart disease. When a stroke occurs, it often happens within
hours of drug use

6. Poor Eating Habits

Poor eating habits include under- or over-eating, not having

enough of the healthy foods we need each day, or consuming too
many types of food and drink, which are low in fibre or high in fat,
salt and/or sugar. On the other hand, there are some literature
suggest different types of eating habit/disorder.
a. Anorexia nervosa – This is a very restricted eating pattern
which a person has an intense fear of gaining weight or persistent behaviors to avoid
gaining weight, despite being underweight.
b. Fun Eating -This is eating foods that don't have nutritional value for our body (desserts,
savoury snacks, and the like), but it provides pleasure.
c. Critical Eating -Then there's the critical eater, who tends to be either 100 percent
committed to a diet, or totally off diet, causing a yo-yo effect of weight loss and weight
gain
d. Binge Eating Disorder- It is a condition where people lose control over their eating and
have reoccurring episodes of eating unusually large amounts of food.
e. Emotional eating- This refers to the tendency to use food as a means to cope with
emotions, such as stress, sadness, boredom or anxiety.
f. Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)- It is an eating disorder
characterized by severe restriction and avoidance of certain foods or entire food groups.
Addressing lifestyle risk factors that impact wellness requires a holistic and proactive
approach. Education and awareness play a crucial role, empowering individuals to make
informed choices about their lifestyles. Collaboration with healthcare professionals,
community support, and the implementation of preventive measures at societal levels further
enhance the collective effort to mitigate lifestyle-related risks. By recognizing the
interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional aspects of well-being, individuals and
communities can pave the way for healthier and more fulfilling lives.

 Lesson 3: Readiness to Change towards Wellness
After acquiring knowledge about the significance of wellness and its dimensions as the
new health goals, you might consider thinking about the recommended behaviors to achieve a
wellness lifestyle and at the same time doing a comparison with your own behaviors. You
probably have some healthy habits and some unhealthy ones that places your health at risk. In
the present time today, it is really needed now to move your direction to wellness and try
starting to live your lives to its fullest. One best way to achieve this, is to continue cultivating
your healthy behaviors/lifestyles and working to overcome unhealthy habits. This kind of
approach to lifestyle management is called behavior change.

Before you can start changing unhealthy behaviors/lifestyles into a wellness related
behavior, you have to know and accept first that a particular behavior is not helping you to
enjoy life and live longer. Likewise, you should be aware that you can change these kind of
behaviors.

Enhancing your Readiness to Change

The ―stages-of-change” model is an effective approach to lifestyle self-management.

According to this model, you move through distinct stages as you work to change your target
behavior. It is important to determine what stage you are in now so that you can choose appropriate
strategies for progressing through the cycle of change. This approach can help you enhance your
readiness and intention to change. The following sections will help you to determine what stage
you are in for your target behavior:

Pre-contemplation (Not Ready)

People at this stage do not think they have a problem and do

not intend to change their behavior. They may be unaware
of the risks associated with their behavior or may deny them.
They may have tried unsuccessfully to change in the past
and may now think the situation is hopeless. They may also
blame other people or external factors for their problems.
People in the pre-contemplation stage believe that there are
more reasons or more important reasons not to change than
there are reasons to change.

COMPILED BY MS. BRITTANY C. ENGLATIERA

Contemplation (Getting Ready)

People at this stage know they have a problem and intend

to take action within six months. They acknowledge the
benefits of behavior change but are also aware of the costs
of changing. To be successful, people must believe that the
benefits of change outweigh the costs. People in the
contemplation stage wonder about possible 24 courses of
action but don’t know how to proceed. There may also be
specific barriers to change that appear too difficult to
overcome.

Preparation (Ready)

People at this stage plan to take action within a month or

may already have begun to make small changes in their
behavior. They may be engaging in their new, healthier
behavior but not yet regularly or consistently. They may
have created a plan for change but may be worried about
failing.

Action

During the action stage, people outwardly modify their

behavior and their environment. The action stage requires the
greatest commitment of time and energy, and people in this
stage are at risk for returning to old, unhealthy patterns of
behavior.

Maintenance

People at this stage have maintained their new, healthier

lifestyle for at least six months. Lapses may have occurred,
but people in maintenance have been successful in quickly
re-establishing the desired behavior. The maintenance stage
can last for months or years

COMPILED BY MS. BRITTANY C. ENGLATIERA

Termination

For some behaviors, a person may reach the sixth and

final stage of termination. People at this stage have
exited the cycle of change and are no longer tempted to
lapse back into their old behavior. They have a new self-
image and total self-efficacy with regard to their target
behavior.

Your first attempts at making behavior changes may never go beyond the contemplation
or preparation stage. Those that do, may not all succeed. But as you experience some success, you
will start to have more positive feelings about yourself. You may discover new physical activities
and sports you enjoy, and you may encounter new situations and meet new people. Perhaps you
will surprise yourself by accomplishing things you didn’t think were possible—breaking a long-
standing nicotine habit, competing in a race, climbing a mountain, or developing a leaner body.
Most of all, you’ll discover the feeling of empowerment that comes from taking charge of your
health. Being healthy takes effort, but the paybacks in energy and vitality are priceless.
Once you have started, don’t stop. Assume that health improvement is forever. Take on the
easier problems first, and then use what you learn to tackle more difficult problems later. When
you feel challenged, remind yourself that you are creating a lifestyle that minimizes your health
risks and maximizes your enjoyment of life. You can take charge of your health in a dramatic and
meaningful way
