[SIBOL: A Dengue Public Health Lecture Documentation 🩺]

In celebration of National Dengue Awareness Month, UP MSSR successfully held SIBOL: a Public Health Lecture on Dengue 💙 held last June 10, 2026, with Sangguniang Kabataan 696!

From the 4Ts and tackling dengue symptoms to discussing the multifactorial nature of health, the PHL inspired a healthy and engaging dialogue between medical students and Barangay 696. 🧑‍🏫

Furthermore, a panel discussion was conducted with students from the University of Hong Kong to tackle public health concerns and solutions. 🩺

We would like to thank the Organizing Committee and Sangguniang Kabataan 696 for making this event possible! 🫶

Phase 2 of PULSE: First Aid 101 successfully wrapped up in Brgy. San Jose, Montalban, Rizal last June 5-6, 2026! ❤️‍🩹 Volunteers from UP MSSR and the PGH Emergency Department spent two incredible days training local community health workers and volunteers from the Montalban Action Group and Medical Action Group in first aid techniques. 🩹

From the fundamental CABCDE assessment approach to high-pressure skills like wound packing, applying tourniquets, stopping severe blood flow, performing CPR, and safe patient lifting, these participants were able to hone their skills in a span of 2 days. 💪

Check out some highlights from our hands-on training sessions below! 👇

Special thanks as well to our partner organizations INAM Philippines and Medical Action Group for their aid in making this event possible ♥

[SIBOL CULMINATION: Dengue Public Health Lecture 🩺]

Fight the bite, do it right! 🦟

The Standing Committee on Public Health (SCOPH), the Standing Committee on Nature and Environment (SCONE), and the Asian Medical Student Exchange Program (AMSEP), presents the culmination of SIBOL, 🌱 a Public Health Lecture on Dengue from UP MSSR 💙 happening this June 10, 2026, with Sangguniang Kabataan 696!

In the Philippines, dengue remains one of the most common mosquito-borne diseases, especially during the rainy season ☔️ when mosquitoes become more prevalent. Every year, thousands of Filipinos get infected, making disease prevention ✋ and early detection important to protect our communities. 🏡

A clean environment 🌳 remains one of the strongest defense against dengue. By working together, we can practice the 4Ts to reduce infection and promte healthier communities 🩺

Kontra Dengue, Responsibilidad ng Bawat Pilipino!

Kids aren’t always “just clumsy.” Neurodevelopmental motor disorders affect how the brain and body work together, shaping how a child moves, coordinates, or responds. They’re not contagious, not about intelligence, and not something kids simply outgrow. However, with the right support, they can still thrive.

Ang malusog na pagkain ay hindi lamang tungkol sa dami nito, kundi pati sa kalidad 🍎 at balanse nito. ⚖️ Sa Pilipinas, mahalagang maunawaan ang mga hamon ng malnutrisyon upang gumawa ng mga hakbang upang masiguro ang sapat at masustansyang pagkain para sa bawat pamilya. 🏠🍽️

Sa pamamagitan ng matalinong pamimili, wastong pagpaplano ng pagkain, at pagpili ng mga abot-kaya ngunit masustansyang pagkain, maaari nating mapabuti ang kalusugan at nutrisyon ng bawat Pilipino. 🧡

Experiencing difficulty in learning can mean much more, as there are neurodevelopemental conditions that affect how a person processes and expresses information. In Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), which generally appear in the form of dyslexia (reading), dyscalculia (math), or dysgraphia (writing), early awareness and proper support can make a meaningful difference.

This pubmat highlights the risk factors, common signs and symptoms, diagnosis, myths vs. facts, and available interventions for SLDs to help promote understanding and reduce stigma.
