The new coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19 is from a family of
viruses that causes respiratory infections. That’s why people with chronic
lung disease or moderate to severe asthma are among individuals at
higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

This also means that people whoengage in behavior that


affects their lungs — including smoking and
vaping — also may be at a higher risk of complications if they contract
the disease, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that 20% of
patients sick enough to be hospitalized are ages 20 to 44, and some
health authorities are speculating whether there is a connection between
this age group’s hospitalization rate and the high rate of vaping among
this same cohort.

Let’s start with basic definitions:

AN EPIDEMIC is a disease that affects a large number of people within a


community, population, or region.

A PANDEMIC is an epidemic that’s spread over multiple countries or continents.

ENDEMIC is something that belongs to a particular people or country.

AN OUTBREAK is a greater-than-anticipated increase in the number of endemic


cases. It can also be a single case in a new area. If it’s not quickly controlled, an
outbreak can become an epidemic.

MONKEYPOX
MONKEYPOX
What:
• Discovered in 1958 when 2 outbreaks of pox-like dx
occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research
• Despite being named “monkeypox”, the source of the dx
remains unknown.
• Rodents and non-human primates (like monkeys) might
harbor the virus and infect people.
• First human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970.
• Prior to 2022 outbreak had been reported in people in
several central and western African countries.
MONKEYPOX

What:
• Previously, almost all cases outside Africa were
linked to:
– International travel to countries where diagnosis (dx)
commonly occurs
– Imported animals
MONKEYPOX

What:
• Same family of viruses as variola (smallpox)
• Similar in symptom to smallpox but milder
• Rarely fatal
• 2 types
– West African (outbreak)
– Congo Basin
• NOT RELATED TO CHICKENPOX!
MONKEYPOX

Is it deadly?
• West African = rarely fatal
– Over 99% who get this form of dx are likely to survive
– Symptoms can be extremely painful, permanent scarring
– Likely to get seriously ill or die:
• People w/ weak immune systems
• Children under 8yo
• Hx of eczema
• Pregnant/breastfeeding
• Congo Basin = 10% fatality rate
MONKEYPOX

How does it spread?


• Person-to-person through direct contact with the
rash, scabs or body fluids
• Respiratory secretions during prolonged face to
face contact
• Intimate physical contact (kissing, cuddling, sex)
• Pregnant people can spread virus to fetus through
placenta
MONKEYPOX

How does it spread?


• Touching items, such as clothing or linens) that
previously touched the infectious rash or body
fluids
• Infected animals via:
– Bite/scratched
– Meat or animal products
MONKEYPOX

How does it spread?


• People who do not have monkeypox symptoms
CANNOT SPREAD the virus to others.
MONKEYPOX

Am I at Risk?
• Risk at this time is low
• Does not spread easily between people
• However, anyone in close contact w/ a person w/
monkeypox can get it and shout take protective
measures
• If you don’t have MP symptoms, you cannot
spread the virus to others
MONKEYPOX

Symptoms?
• Fever
• Headache
• Muscle aches and
backache
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Chills
• Exhaustion
MONKEYPOX

Symptoms?
• Respiratory
symptoms
– Sore throat
– Nasal Congestion
– Cough
• Rash that can look
like pimples or
blisters (face, inside
the mouth, hands,
MONKEYPOX

Symptoms?
• The rash goes through different stages before
healing completely, typically 2-4 weeks.
• Sometimes rash comes first ff’d by other
symptoms
• Others experience only a rash
• Symptoms usually appear 1-2 weeks after
infection.
MONKEYPOX

What should I do if I have symptoms?


• If you notice a new or unexplained rash or other
monkeypox symptoms consult with a healthcare
provider.
• Avoid close contact (including intimate physical
contact) until a HC provider examines you.
• Avoid close contact with pets or other animals
until a HC provider examines you.
MONKEYPOX

What should I do if I have symptoms?


• While waiting for the test results, follow the same
precautions.
• If test result is positive, stay isolated and observe
preventive practices until your rash has healed, all
scabs have fallen off, and a fresh layer of intact
skin has formed.
MONKEYPOX

What should I do if I have symptoms?


• Remain isolated if with fever or respiratory
symptoms, including sore throat, nasal
congestion or cough.
• Only go out if you are seeing a HC provider (avoid
public transportation)
• If you need to leave isolation, you should cover the
rash and wear a well fitting mask.
MONKEYPOX

Prevention.
• Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact w/ people who
have a rash that looks like MP:
– Do not touch the rash/scabs of someone who has
MP.
– Do not kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with someone
who has MP.
• Avoid contact w/ objects used by person w/ MP
– Do not share eating utensils or cups
MONKEYPOX

Prevention.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or
use alcohol-based sanitizer, esp. before eating or
touching your face and after using the bathroom.
MONKEYPOX

Vaccines.
• CDC recommends vaccination for people exposed
to MP and those more likely to get MP:
– Contact of someone with MP
– Sexual partner in the past 2 weeks of someone
diagnosed with MP
– People who had multiple sexual partners in the past 2 weeks
in an area with known MP
MONKEYPOX

Vaccines.
– People whose jobs may expose them to orthopoxviruses:
• Lab workers who perform testing for orthopoxviruses
• Lab workers who handle cultures or animals with orthopoxviruses
• Some designated HC or Public Health workers
MONKEYPOX
Treatment.
• There are no treatment (tx) specifically for MP virus
infections.
• However, MP and smallpox viruses are genetically
similar, w/c means that antiviral drugs and vaccines
developed to protect against smallpox may be used to
prevent and tx MP virus infections.
• Antivirals (like tecovirimat) may be recommended for
people who are likely to get severely ill, like pts w/
weakened immune systems.

Fitness for All

The Benefits of Fitness


Fitness and Health
• The word health is often associated
only with physical fitness, but there
are other components of health.
• FITNESS means “readiness”. Fit
people are better equipped than non-
fit people.
• The level of fitness includes all
aspects of health and life.
What is Physical Fitness?
• Physical Fitness is the ability of
your body systems to work
efficiently. A fit person is able to
carry out the typical activities of
living, such as work, and still have
enough energy and vigor to
respond to emergency situations
and to enjoy leisure time
activities.
Retrieved from https://www.slideshare.net/rpmjen/definitions-of-fitness 72
Retrieved from https://www.askthetrainer.com/definition-of-physical-fitness/ 73
Base Level
- highlights the primary reason why physical fitness is important
- relates to quality of life
- A physically fit body has less chance of acute health problems
and chronic disease.
- represents your ability to efficiently perform the anaerobic
and aerobic activities of daily living (ADLs) which exist in your
environment on a daily basis in addition to novel tasks which may
arise during day to day living
Retrieved from https://www.askthetrainer.com/definition-of-physical-fitness/ 74
Mid Level
- Only after your body has grown accustomed to the base level of
physical fitness you can advance to the mid level.
- The middle level of the pyramid is about adaptation and
improvement.
- Most people remain at the mid level for their entire lifetime as
they adapt and progress only to regress and start the process
over and over again.
- In order to improve mid level physical fitness it is important to
have a balanced exercise program. Exercise selection should focus
on all 5 components of fitness.

Retrieved from https://www.askthetrainer.com/definition-of-physical-fitness/ 75


Top Level
- Very few are able to reach the top level of the physical fitness
hierarchy
- The top level of physical fitness tends to mesh (tangle)
physiology and psychology.
- In order to reach the top level of physical fitness one must
reach their full potential.

better on academic work, and are less depressed than people who are less active.
• Regular physical activity results in physical fitness which is the key to being able to
do more of things you want to do and enjoy life.
• It allows you to be fit enough to meet emergencies and day-to-day demanding
situations.
• Being physically active can build fitness, which, in turn, provides you with many

Philippine Environmental Policy
Presidential Decree No. 1151 (06 June 1977): In the pursuit of
advancing both the productive and harmonious relationship of nature
and the Filipino people of today and the future, the Philippine
Environmental Policy mandates an intensive and integrated national
environmental protection program mainly by requiring
environmental impact assessments and statements.

Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System


Presidential Decree No. 1586 (11 June 1978): This policy established the Philippine
Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS) as the framework for all
environmental impact assessment activities nationwide. In consonance with the
Philippine Environmental Policy (PD 1151), the PEISS includes the classification of
every development project as either environmentally critical or environmentally
non-critical. All projects that can potentially cause any form of significant impact
to the environment are regarded as environmentally critical and are therefore
required to secure an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).
170
Strategic Environmental Plan for Palawan Act of 1992
Republic Act No. 7611: The Strategic Environmental Plan (SEP) is “a
comprehensive framework for the sustainable development of
Palawan.” All projects of government agencies, from planning to
implementation, in the province should be coordinated and aligned
to this framework. The main strategy here is to establish an
“Environmentally Critical Areas Network” or ECAN which is a
graded system of protective control over all terrestrial and marine
natural resources, as well as the tribal ancestral lands in Palawan.
The Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD) was
created pursuant to this policy.

171

action that can be availed of is the Writ for Continuing
Mandamus (A.M. No. 09-6-8-SC Rule 8) which applies
when a government agency or officer violates an
environmental policy.
173
Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010
Republic Act No. 10121: Making the then National Disaster
Coordinating Council (NDCC) into what we know today as the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
(NDRRMC) to serve as the lead agency for disaster-related
programs in the Philippines such as but not limited to the
development of the comprehensive guides for DRR efforts
nationwide (referred to as the National Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Framework [NDRRMF] and National Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Plan [NDRRMP]).

174
Philippine Sanitation Code
Presidential Decree No. 856 (23 December 1975): The Philippine Sanitation
Code sets sanitary standards for drinking water, food and other business
establishments, industrial hygiene, schools, health services, markets,
slaughterhouses, transport vehicles, terminals and other service stations,
and lodging areas and infrastructures among many others. It regulates
nuisances (anything that injures health, endangers life, offends senses, or
produces discomfort to the community), and activities concerning dead
persons, their funeral, and remains. Importantly, it regulates other forms of
pollution not covered in the above-mentioned places like that caused by
certain substances, radiation, noise, and biological pollutants among others. It
also sets the requirements for the collection of sewage, operation of
sewerage works and sewage treatment plants, construction of septic tanks,
and disposal of septic tank effluents (Chapter XVII).
175
Marine Pollution Decree of 1976
Presidential Decree No. 979 (18 August 1976):
Pursuant to this policy, dumping of wastes and
other hazardous matter into the ocean and inland
waters of the Philippines is considered unlawful
unless due to unavoidable accidents or otherwise
prescribed by the National Pollution Control
Commission or the Philippine Coast Guard.

176
Water Code of the Philippines
Presidential Decree No. 1067 (31 December 1976): The Water Code of the Philippines
governs the ownership, allocation, utilization, control, conservation, and the overall
administration of all waters and water resources in the country through the National Water
Resources Board. Filipinos of legal age and entities, including government agencies, must
acquire a water permit (the written evidence of having a water right) in order to be able to
appropriate and use water. Any activities affecting water resources shall likewise acquire a
permit first.
The water permit specifies among others the
(1) maximum amount and rate as well as the schedule of water diversion or withdrawal,
(2) location of wells,
(3) place of use, and
(4) purpose/s of water use
The streambank easement zones of three (3) meters for urban areas, twenty (20) meters for

must undergo pre-manufacturing or pre-importation regulations.

178
Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999
Republic Act No. 8749: One of the salient features of this Act is the establishment of a
multi-sectoral Integrated Air Quality Improvement Framework and Air Quality Control
Action Plan which will serve as the primary guide for air pollution management and
control in the country. Adopting a multi-sectoral or participatory approach (also called
“partnership approach to healthy air” or “people-driven approach”) means that ideas
and comments should be gathered from all stakeholders, and information is largely
disclosed to the public. Alongside many other regulatory measures, all sources of air
pollutant emissions are also mandated by this Act to secure a permit to operate apart
from the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC). Importantly, this Act sets the
emission limits for various types of pollutants both stationary and mobile, including
smoking, fuel and fuel additives, ozone-depleting substances, greenhouse gases, and
organic pollutants among many others.

179
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000

for a comprehensive waste management strategy including but not limited
to: Prohibition of open dumps, Requiring a permit for solid waste
management facility construction and expansion, Guidelines for controlled
dumps, and Criteria for siting, establishment, and operations of sanitary
landfills in the country.

180
Republic Act No. 9275: The Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 is the
comprehensive strategy for the protection and conservation of the
country’s water resources, both freshwater and marine. This Act requires
the acquisition of water pollution permits through the “Wastewater
Charge System” which ensures that there are no unauthorized,
undocumented, and unregulated discharges in any water body in the
Philippines. Project and program proponents are also required to establish
an environmental guarantee fund (EGF) in order to finance the
preservation and/or rehabilitation of the health of the affected
ecosystems, especially that of the watersheds and aquifers among others.
All persons or organizations that cause pollution are likewise required to
clean-up any pollution they have caused at their own expense.

UN Definition of Indigenous Peoples (1993)
Indigenous communities, peoples and nations are those which,
having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial
societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves
distinct from other sectors of societies now prevailing in those
territories, or parts of them. They form at present non-dominant
sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop and
transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their
ethnic identity, as the basis of their continued existence as peoples,
in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions
and legal systems.
