II. List of Experiences of the Students
A. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Activity Experiences
“One of the most remarkable activities that we’ve
done is the demonstration of CPR in our own homes;
although I have done it with a stuff toy I still learned how to
do it and this will enable me to help others when it is
needed.”
Matthew Dela Vega
“I learned a lot from what we discussed and have a
chance to do it in action. I want to say thank you to our
professor Mr. Enrique Villones for giving us insights on how to perform and what are
the things to remember in doing CPR.
I've experienced a lot when it comes in modules 1- 5, and I was fascinated by
different geographical profiles and locations of risk and hazards in the Philippines.
How important is the Philippine Disaster Management System? Its comprehensive,
integrated, and proactive in lessening the
socio-economic and environmental impacts of
disasters, including climate change that is
aiming to promote the involvement and
participation of all sectors and all stakeholders
concerned, at all levels, especially the local
community.
I gain insights and notice that it is more
than
just
management;
humanitarian
assistance and the global effort on risk
reduction are concrete expressions of the
country's commitment to overcoming human
sufferings due to recurring disasters. It saves
lives as it used to more than what we think it
is. I also assure how a particular role needs to
imply, how it affects me, that human toll; dead,
injured, and missing. Community displaced,
lost sources of livelihoods, environmental
damages, infrastructure damages, economic
losses, and hampered the delivery of services
as a student, in all ages.
“ I've learned that many things need to consider when it comes to learning
CPR; before starting CPR, check:
• Is the environment safe for the person?
• Is the person conscious or unconscious?
• If the person appears unconscious, tap or shake his or her shoulder and ask
loudly, "Are you OK?"
• If the person doesn't respond and two people are available, have one person
call 911 or the local emergency number and get the AED, if one is available, and
have the other person begin CPR.
• If you are alone and have immediate access to a telephone, call 911 or your
local emergency number before beginning CPR. Get the AED, if one is
available. Remember that American Heart Association uses the letters C-A-B. It
entails the importance of compressions in restore blood circulation, the airway, open
the airway, and breathing; breath for the person.
Lesson learned: I had learned many things, like performing bandaging
because I find it easy, and I will probably apply my learnings in actual situations.
Tying and untying the square knots and the whole procedures were very important in
first aid, I find it useful because, it does matter when saving lives.”
- Beatriz Anne N. Amparo
“All in all, even though I knew how to perform CPR,
there’s still a discouragement inside me to do it when it is
needed in real life, because I am going to deal with the death
and life of the patient and I know that if I failed to revive the
patient that would be my nightmare for a lifetime.”
Junar A. Dela Cruz
“I always thought that I don't need to learn about
CPR because there's no possibility that I'll encounter
someone who'll need it. But after our meeting regarding
the Procedure of CPR I thought I'm selfish for even
having that thought. What if it happens to my family? I
shouldn't be thinking that way, it is very important for
every people to be educated of the importance of learning
the CPR, because it can save someone's life.”
– Carmela Escaraman
“Based on the guides given, I followed rules in my module which is under
module 4 to do the CPR. I asked my little brother to do a simple role playing with me,
and all that he had to do was to lie down and fake sleeping. Then I am going to save
his life pretending like he's having hard time breathing. After that scenario, I felt like I
was really saving someone's life, and for that I can say that I have the courage to do
(CPR) that when it is needed the most. I've learned the right procedures or steps in
doing CPR, always remember the C-A-B which stands for Compression, Airway and
Breathing, these are the processes that you have to follow in order to do the CPR in
success.”
– Lovely Shane Salvadora
B.
Bandaging Activity Experiences
“We’ve been tasked to create again, a video about bandaging techniques.
Actually as I was watching on how to properly do
it I was nervous and kind of confused but when I
was filming and actually applying what I’ve
learned, I didn’t notice that
I was actually enjoying
doing it. Step by step I was
able to finish a second
activity and was able to
pass it on time. I’m happy
because I was given the
opportunity to experience
this kind of things for this
will help me at times that I will encounter this not just for myself
but also for the family, friends, and other people around me
specially when they get wounds or injury.”
– Cyra Joy De Leon
“Performing the bandage was fun but chalenging at first, I did watch on youtube
videos on how to tie and untie the knot and eventualy I was able to perfect it. I chose
to perform the arm sling triangular bandage with the kid on
my video as my model and it was just smooth, fun and full
of learnings. I had a lot of learnings performing bandaging,
because I find it easy and I will probably apply my learnings
in actual situations. From tying and untying the square
knots and the whole procedures were very important
learnings I've got from doing it because it does matter when
saving lives.”
– Madem Montes
Techniques learned are to do it properly at the same time consider its
functions. Reassure them and explain what you're going to do. Please help them to
sit or lie in a comfortable position.
Support the limb or injured part of the body before applying the bandage.
Start bandaging from the front and injured side of the casualty. Apply the bandage
firmly but not so tight that it's restricting circulation. Leave fingers and toes exposed
to help you check their circulation. Techniques learned are to do it properly at the

Use pins or tape to fasten roller bandages. Otherwise, you can tuck the
application insecurely. Use a reef knot to tie a triangular bandage: right over left and
under, then left over right and under location. Once you've finished tying the
bandage, make sure you check for circulation by pressing on their finger or toe for
five seconds until it goes pale.
If the color doesn't come back after two seconds, then the bandage is too
tight, and you will need to reapply more loosely.
Check the circulation every 10 minutes. What is funny about this topic is that
you can measure how resourceful a person could be when it comes to the point
where you should look for some alternative method or material to serve as a
substitute in a specific situation. I also realized that if these things happen in reality,
one should keep on track with what he/she is trying to do and stay calm and not
panic so that things would indeed flow how they should happen.”
–Beatriz Anne Amparo
C. Weekly Activity Experiences
“I also taught my sister on her
lessons which kind of annoying for me, but
it's still fun for both of us and I think she
enjoyed my company. Documenting my
experience is what I enjoyed the most
because in the future I could show it to
someone and then tell them "Look how I
did" and tell them the story behind it.”
J
- Joribelle Rizardo
“How long would it take for us
realized that every tree is so important
for birds and other living creatures
including us, for trees gives shelter to
animals, shades protecting us from the
rays of sun, bears fruits, holds the soil
to prevent flooding, and provides fresh
air for us to breathe. People tend to
took advantage or nature thinking that
it will grew back again, the number of
beneficiaries is a lot more than to those
who grew plants, and restores our
natural resources, soon enough, may
people recognize the value of each
little things.”
– Nieciel Layag
“April 22, 2021, we posted photos featuring the
beautiful
scenery
and
supports
our
Campus
in
celebrating Earth’s day. We are to blessed to have this
kind
of
surroundings,
surrounded with the beautiful
plants, trees, and a fresh air to
breathe. We must keep this more elegant because God
made it for us and we must nurture it for the next
generation.”
– Crecelle Ann Orilla
“Then the weekly report, this is one of the most enjoyable activities I've done
in this subject. We are asked to make a weekly report about what we have done to
help our community. The pandemic and quarantine makes it more challenging since
we are not allowed to go outside, we have to think convenient things that we could
do to help our community. And the trend enters the conversation which is "planting" I
became a plantita. Before this pandemic occurred actually I don't care about plants,
I'm not fond of it, not even a little care
about planting because I thought I am
not good at it. But since it was the only
thing that comes up to my mind at that
moment, I tried it. I planted one plant
and I named it Yoonii. That was the first
I watered it as consistently as possible.
Then to my surprise Yoonii grows
faster than I expected. Then another
follows I planted another plant. NSTP
made me realize things that I am not
noticing before, it makes me enjoyed
planting without me even noticing.
From doing it for the sake of activity
into consistently taking care of it
because it is really enjoyable and stress relieving. “
– Janein Rose Abillar
“Remember don’t waste everything that came
from our nature, be a human that loves nature, be a
human that can protect nature, and be a human that
belongs in this world. Learn to appreciate nature so
that you can learn how to appreciate everything
around you especially yourself.”
– Johnmark Alagano
Every time that I bake, I felt so happy. I
learned in baking is, if you felt sad while baking the
outcome is not good. Not only does the process of
cooking and baking improve moods, but the feeling
of satisfaction also gained when seeing the end
product
naturally
enhances
happiness.
You’ve
created something tangible that can be enjoyed and
shared,
giving
yourself
a
welldeserved
sense
of
achievement.
Cooking goes further than a sense of
accomplishment
that
can
satisfy
the
emotional need for purpose and meaning in
our lives. “Cooking is a task that requires a
combination of several skills –understanding and planning, attention to detail, using
our memory and imagination, manual dexterity, creativity, and style.”
– Chriscela Astrera
D. Indefinite Experiences
“NSTP isn't just a subject, yet additionally,
it is an incredible experience. You will gain some
incredible feelings like joy and bliss. Without
NSTP, our life in school is exhausting or dull.
There we experience to give, to regard, and to
show every single one of us to the next individual.
To adore, to convey, to chip in, to take an interest,
to mind and to give significance.”
– Gabrielle Delica
“In my whole semester, I’ve learned lot of
things especially in terms of time management,
self-discipline is a must and of course adjusting to his new learning modality. In this
NSTP class, our Prof. Enrique Villones had some problems to attend in our class
sometimes but I really appreciate how he considered those students who are not
really able to attend and submit on time, and I am one of them. This kind of situation
is not enough reason to give up on studying. After all, the only things I can say is,
thank you educators to have patience for us as your students. “
– Angela Valencia
“There
are
numerous
definitions
and
various theories used to analyze the concept of
community. I also learned that community social
work signifies “the practice of professional social
work with communities as target population or
setting
interventions”.
Communities
are
the
context for community social work and community
social work recognizes the diversity of the
communities. Community development refers to both the development of social
grouping and also the nature of the relationship among the members.”
– Andrea Jane Salvador
“Based on my experiences in conducting
the survey, I saw in my respondents' answers
that life is not really easy, and that the
pandemic has made it even more difficult. Not
everyone has something to eat every day; many
people have lost their income, lost their works,
and all our daily lives changed. However, I also
see that little by little everyone is getting up,
they are making a way to survive, but it is still
not enough for daily needs. It is sad to think that
we will be tortured by torture, but I know that one day we will be able to overcome it
too. I hope this pandemic end so that everything and everyone can go back to
normal.”
– Mary Andiolina Dolfo
“Learn to move at your own and expect your success soon as fruit of your
hard work. There's a time that we see ourselves nothing because of our situation
thinking there will no better future waiting for us but we are wrong. If we work, the
success is coming. We are the one who makes our future. Just like those people
who answered our survey. They are not expecting any helps from other people
instead they work hard for the future of their family because they know that the hard
work is part of our journey to be success. Don't look to the bad situation now but look
on what you can do to change the negative situation into a positive one.”
-Maria Cristina G. Tarrobal
“Do everything you can for yourself, you don't need to depend on other
people. Based on Surrey that we made them the people who work hard for their
family and you will really admire them because despite the hardships of life they are
still able to squeeze even though many trials come into their lives. They are the
people you need to be an inspiration in life because you can see the good father and
mother who are even pandemic even if they don't calm down if it's just a pandemic
that's us human beings so we're against each other. Even though life is hard, they
lean on each other. That's why for me they are an inspiration. In the survey we did,
there was an interview where we could say that we really need help because they
are the family that is having a hard time in life and you can tell them what is
happening in the world that is even harder to be poor even if we say that the
government provides help until then that will be enough for them to awaken my mind
that it is really difficult to be difficult.”
-Angie Pauyo Mintal
“Before we started this activity we think first about which barangay were going
to interview, since we are not allowed to go outside because there’s a virus, we
choose barangay San Luis where Mintal lives because they really need helps, then
after that we made a question so we can easily figure out what they need, I
mentioned earlier that we are not allowed to go out so only Mintal did the interview
then she just sent to us all the details we need, then after that we tally the survey
form and questionnaire form to know the result, then after that we found out that they
really need help because in the questionnaire almost everyone answered that only
one member in their family have a work, their
money is not enough for their daily needs,
and most of them did not graduate in college,
then you can realize that education is very
important, even if their situation is hard you
can see that they are happy because they
don’t lose hope and still fight all the problem
that comes in their life and always remember
just laugh all your problem because there’s a
saying that laughter is the best medicine,
maybe laughter is one of the best thing in our
world that also brings so much cheer to our life, And because it brings positive even
if we have a problem we forget it for a moment, it is also one of the reason why we
become a strong person, the reason why we passed all the trials, problem, struggle,
conflict that come into our life, the reason why we continue to fight and face any
problem, and also laughter is one of the way to show other that you are strong
enough to face any problem that come and if I have a chance to help them I won’t
hesitate to help them because they deserve it.”
- Edralyn Jacob Minga
“I think the activities that we’ve done will have a great difference for us
learners because it can give us a wide
understanding and awareness about the
issue and needs of the community, as well
as the things that we must consider in
being part of those people that serve’s the
community. The project is indeed helpful
for the future server of the nation. I am
really happy that I become part of this
people that has given an opportunity to
learn this kind of activities for the people in
the community, this project is indeed
beneficial
for
us,
to
gain
a
lot
of
experiences and for the neighbors and other peers to help them in the problems that
they are facing because of poverty and any other problems in the society. I have
learn a lot of lesson but next time I want to apply it to the field that soon I will be
taking, I would also like to inform others about the things that we can do to serve the
community for our own good and for the safety and peace of others. All in all I can
say that helping others and gaining experience from them is such a good opportunity
for future teachers like us.”
– Lea Angelica De Lunas
“My experience was so fantastic upon posting it
because as I said I really love nature. Posting picture
about nature make me feel relax and happy at the
same time. I know that was just so little to be happy
for but I am indeed happy. Nature brings me
happiness and peace.”
–Keana Dela Vega
“Overall
experience
from
first
semester until now, I just realized that
education is still important especially we’re in
the midst of pandemic and also having
knowledge on first aid and bandaging can
save someone’s life someday. The other
activities about community really opened my
mind on the world’s reality. I’m awakened
that I am so much blessed, having food to eat more than three times a day, having a
shelter that will protect me from any calamities or virus and lastly, have a privilege to
study. I am so blessed more than I imagined compared to the people who I’d talk to
who’s lack of what I have . And I know there are lots of people with the same
situation with them. Knowing that makes me contended and grateful each of what I
have right now. I just pray and hope that people in the government will really reach
out each and those people who are really in need.”
– Kristine De Asis
“Everyone is trying to find the ways on how to survive their own daily lives. It
doesn't matter if you are at a very young age, or even if you have too much gray hair
because of your maturity. We are all struck by poverty, and it doesn't choose its
victim. We are the one to decide whether we maintain poor, or to overcome this by
means of doing everything to surpass it. But, if in case you know that you are not
affected by it, and you have the capability to help others, then you should do it with
all your heart. Helping means that you got someone's back, and if everyone would
start practicing it then camaraderie and the true meaning of compassion will be
achieved.”
– Aldrin Timbal
“For the whole school year in this subject, I have learned
many things and I was able to perform it properly. I also
learned how to be careful especially when the covid
cases increases because since most of our activities are
done outside we have to be extra careful. I learned how
to start help my community by doing community services
like tree planting, food selling and street cleaning.”
–Erica Parinas
“I have learned different kinds of lessons
which pertain to public services in my community.
I have conducted a service which is good services
and this is a great experience because you will go
to buy and sell the products. Another is about the
CPR which very essential to help a person who
need immediate response. And also I enjoyed
listening to my prof because he is able to teach us
very well about the topic. Though we are not in the
face to face class I am still able to learn about
more in this subject. I am grateful for my
classmates because I was motivated also by them
to listen and participate in this subject. I am expecting more about the subject. I hope
that this is not the last time we will have NSTP.”
-Kevin Dave Joaquin
“In the piece of this NSTP subject was needed to
do a medical aid, we are given to play out the legitimate
method of CPR. Doing this sort of CPR isn't the primary
experience, back when I was in Grade-11, I was the
person who errands to play out the CPR, with the goal
that I have a smidgen of information about performing
it.”
-Kristel Orilla
“Undoubtedly, academics are
an indispensable element of the
evolutionary experience of gaining
knowledge; however, the formation of
empathy and both communication
and self-reflection skills is equally
essential In nstp thought us to serve
our country in small ways i learned
also how to first aid someone and

service
there,
holds
great
significance and should be a compulsory component of students’ educational
experiences. We can use this experience in the future how to deal with people may
we apply this in work place the most important skills a student can have are their
interpersonal and communicative and reflective, skills”
–Catherine Mantalaba Tan
“It was a great opportunity
for us to be able to be useful in our
community especially in case of
emergency.
It
is
one
of
the
remarkable activities that we have
done. It is very helpful for us
because we can include ourselves
as part of volunteers who are
trained in this kind of stuff. I can
surely use this activity in the
future. It is definitely one of the
most useful stuff that I have
learned and perform.”
-Lizel Bunyi
“What I did is for the benefits of my own family
and my own community, I know that those small
things that I’ve done, will benefit a lot to our
community. Also, as can you see, a lot of it are
done inside our backyard, this is because of the
Pandemic which just shows that we can still help
to our community by simply maintaining our own
house and backyard clean and organize. “
Mariella Olivera
“I learned that even though we are in a difficult situation wherein we cannot go
outside too often or socialize with others, there are still
a lot of things we can do for our family, surroundings,
and community. We can still help to improve and
stabilize our community, join activities wherein we are
still doing our duties and responsibilities as a member
of the community and share our experiences to the
future generation and be an inspiration to other youths.”
-Jade Novel Onilongo
The first task we do is to demonstrate how to
do
the CPR. What is the main goal of CPR?? The goal of
CPR is to keep oxygen flowing in and out of the lungs
and to keep oxygenated blood flowing through the
body. This will delay tissue death. Sudden Cardiac
Arrest: Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same thing as a
heart attack.”
Maria Fe Cudal
“The webinars are helpful and timely, the
speakers
were
genuinely
exerting
their
knowledge to the students who were listening
and watching the virtual seminars. As a
freshman, it was a wonderful and likable
experience. I can consider my experiences and
works for this subject an adventure. The
activities are really helpful especially in times of
pandemic. There are many hindrances while
doing the activities but that didn’t stop us from
doing it. It was a great experience for us
freshmen since it might be useful in times of
emergency.”
Ma. Angelica San Jose
“I learned from this subject the things that
we need to prioritize in our life, even though we
are all in a new curriculum the new system for
studying. I know we all have the strength to
remain what we need to this situation. As of our
whole semester, all of the first aid and the
willingness to help our country is a very big
contribution in today’s happenings.”
– Cruz, Ella Mae P.
“I attended google meets even though theres a lot of circumstances in my life,
that I had a hard time, but I use the community service thing to distract myself from
problems, I took care of our lot in Antipolo where I water plants, plan, cleaning the
yard and a lot more.”
“I have learned to value planting and to
use my time in a relevant actions that will benefit
myself. I have learned to do things enable for me
to be progressive even in the simple form of
service. I think that the project/activity made a
difference because it made me responsible and
made me love plants. It thought me to love what I
have in life., at first I don’t like it but after doing it I
realize that it will help you improve yourself. Next
time I would take care of my own garden.”
Angelo Miguel C. Delos Santos
“In addition, the home quarantine activities has thought me to be a
responsible person. Now I have realized, I am of big help to my family ang neighbor.
I water plants every day, even without the documentation, I saw the importance of
plants to our environment. I help in our mini business, where I sell halo-halo in front
of our house, I really have fun earning money, here, I have learned the importance of
saving every single centavo, not for my cellphone load, but for family needs. I also
help in household choirs, cleaning the house inside and outside. I even learned and
make souvenir items from recycled materials.”
Nieciel Cortez Layag
Conclusion
At the end of the course, we have learned that we, as students have a big role
in helping our society. we cannot forget what our mission as volunteers. From
modules 1 -module 5, we learned what is the best for us.
Starting from background and achievements of NSTP, we are now thinking of
what best things can we do to serve other people, and help them alleviate poverty.
We have learned the importance of sharing and giving, and thinking of others before
ourselves, we become selfless. We now know how fortunate we are, that we can go
to school, since there are really less fortunate who could not because they have to
work first to earn for their living. Hopefully, if this Pandemic ends, we can share what
blessings we have to others.
Next is a subject that tests our abilities to cope and adopt even we admit
pandemic. If we try to adapt things in new ways we are willing to commit. It helps
each one of us to communicate with different types of people and helps the people
who are in need.
During the community immersion and employment or application of the
classroom lectures and theories learned by the student-implementers, which is
enhanced further, even though we do not meet face to face by providing service to
our neighbors and immediate family members. We felt that strange feeling of giving
small things to others, where you felt that they cherished it very much.
From the basics of NSTP, CPR, and bandaging through community needs
assessment survey and conduct of activities to help the family during Pandemic, we
learned a lot. We have experienced and we can proudly share to our children and
grandchildren, the importance of sharing amidst this pandemic and protecting our
environment in our own little way, that no calamity or pandemic can hinder the
eagerness of a volunteer to serve the community, the Filipino people.
