Module 3: Lesson 1 Activity 1 Analysis 1. 1. Do you think Disaster Risk Reduction and Management concepts and lesson should be known by all and not just professionals emergency responders? Why? - I think DRRM concepts and lessons should be known by everyone, not just professional emergency responders, because disasters can affect anyone, anywhere, at any time. Knowing how to prepare and respond to emergencies can save lives and reduce the impact of disasters. When people understand DRRM, they can protect themselves, their families, and their communities. It also promotes a sense of unity and cooperation during tough times. Involving everyone in disaster preparedness and management makes our communities safer and more resilient. It's a shared responsibility that benefits us all. Application 1 Hazard landslide Flood Vulnerability Exposure capacity MODULE 2-LESSON 1 APPLICATION 1 1. It's crucial to have laws and programs to address drug abuse because they help protect people's health and safety. Laws can deter illegal drug activities, while programs can offer support and treatment to those struggling with addiction. These measures aim to prevent drug-related harm and improve the overall well-being of the community. By combining laws and programs, we can better address the complex issue of drug abuse in our country. 2. As an NSTP student, I can assist the government in its efforts to combat drug abuse by spreading awareness about the dangers of drug use among my peers and in my community. I can participate in drug prevention campaigns, educate others about the consequences of drug addiction, and promote healthy alternatives to drug use. Additionally, I can support rehabilitation and counseling programs to help those who are struggling with drug addiction. By working together with the government and local organizations, I can contribute to creating a safer and drug-free environment for our community. MODULE 3- LESSON 2 Application 2 Describe the area where you live. Is it mountainous, near the sea, or urban zone? What are the most common emergency situations/natural disasters that can occur in your area? Cite an experience. Write your answer on the space provided. - Our community settled in between near the sea and mountain. And actually, my family and I live near the sea and mountains since we have two houses, one by the sea and the other on a hill. In our area, we often face flooding due to the lack of proper drainage, rising sea water level and oftentimes earthquakes. Luckily, we haven't had to deal with landslides or tsunamis so far. MODULE 3- LESSON 4 Analysis 4 In your study so far of DRRM as an NSTP student, why do you think it is important that we utilize the 4 Thematic Areas of DRRM in our pursuit of a culture of preparedness against disasters or emergencies? - It's vital that we use the four areas of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) to build a culture of being ready for emergencies. These areas help us plan and respond better to disasters. The four areas include prevention, mitigation, preparedness, and response. Prevention means stopping disasters before they happen, like proper land use. Mitigation means reducing the impact of disasters, such as strengthening buildings. Preparedness involves getting ready for disasters with plans and supplies. Finally, the response is what we do during and after disasters to help each other and recover. These four areas help us stay safer and more resilient. Application 4 Which thematic area on DRRM do you think your strength lies? Is it in preparation? Response and Rescue? Or in Rehabilitation? Outline your answer below. - I believe my strong point in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) is preparation because I'm good at planning and getting things ready before disasters happen. I can make emergency plans, gather supplies, and organize things for safety. Being prepared helps us stay calm during emergencies. It's like having a game plan for staying safe. While I might not be as experienced in other areas like preventing disasters or responding during emergencies, my focus on preparation is my strength in DRRM. MODULE 1- LESSON 1 Activity 1 As a student (in your simplest way), how will you show your love to our country? Write your three plans for showing your love for our country. - As a student, I'll demonstrate my love for our country by studying hard to gain knowledge and skills that can benefit the Philippines. I will also respect our national symbols, traditions, and cultural heritage. I'll actively participate in activities that promote unity and help my fellow citizens. Additionally, I'll follow the rules and laws of our country and strive to be a responsible and honest citizen. By doing these things, I can contribute to our nation's progress and show my love for the Philippines. 1. If the government has the prime duty to serve and protect its citizens, in return, what is our responsibility to the state? - In return, our responsibility to the state is to obey its laws, pay our taxes to support public services, and actively participate in the democratic process by voting and being informed about important issues. By doing these things, we help maintain a stable and just society, where the government can better serve and protect all its citizens. 2. Why is it that the government recognizes the important role of the youth in nation building? - The government understands that young people play a crucial part in making the country better. They support this by providing education and opportunities for the youth. They believe that when young people are well-educated and involved in their communities, they can help the nation grow and improve. So, the government encourages the youth to learn, participate, and be active citizens for a stronger future. MODULE 1- LESSON 4 Activity 4 Imagine that you were born in 1898, the year when the Philippine flag was first shown to the public after the Revolutionary Army defeated the Spaniards in Imus, Cavite. What would you write to the countless people who gave their lives for that victory? To the brave heroes who fought for our country's freedom in 1898, I want to express how deeply thankful I am for the sacrifices you made to make the Philippines independent. In 1898, the Philippine flag became a symbol of our determination and unity, thanks to your bravery in defeating the Spaniards in Imus, Cavite. Thinking about the sacrifices you endured reminds me of how important it is to protect and value the freedom you fought so hard for. Your actions inspire me to work towards a fair and prosperous Philippines today. Even though I can't go back in time to join you in your fight, I promise to always remember your courage and the legacy of your sacrifice. Your bravery reminds us that freedom is precious and should never be taken for granted. With the utmost gratitude and respect, [Your Name] Analysis 4 1. Why do you think an object as usual' or 'typical' like a flag carries so much significance for a country? 2. Why do you believe the Philippines is symbolized by three stars and a sun? MODULE 1- LESSON 5 Activity 5 Before we delve into the details of what makes a good Filipino citizen, what do you think these are? List down the attitudes and values you believe are part of what makes a person residing in the Philippines "a good Filipino citizen. List these in a separate sheet and discuss with the class. The attitudes and values I believe are integral to defining a person residing in the Philippines as a "good Filipino citizen" encompass being respectful (magalang), responsible, hospitable, and embodying a deep sense of "utang na loob" (debt of gratitude). "Magalang" or being respectful has been a cherished Filipino trait for generations, fostering harmonious relationships and mutual respect in society. Responsibly addressing environmental concerns, especially by Filipino youth, highlights our commitment to the environment and the well-being of our fellow citizens. Our famed hospitality exemplifies our welcoming nature, and the sense of "utang na loob" concepts reminds us to be grateful and give back when others have helped us. These qualities are at the core of what it means to be a good Filipino citizen. Analysis 5 1. Based on the lists you and your classmates have come up with and discussed with each other, what is the value or quality that consistently appears? Why do you think it appears frequently? - The value or quality that consistently appears is being respectful. I think, because we are Filipinos, being respectful or magalang is deeply ingrained in Filipino culture and is a fundamental value that shapes the behavior and interactions of Filipinos. This respect is often evident in various aspects of Filipino life such as “pag-mamano” to elders, and etc. Application 5 What does it take to be a Good Citizen? Based on the information provided in our lesson, list down what you think are the top qualities that make a Good Citizen in the society we are in now. - In today's society, being a good citizen means more than just traditional values. It involves adaptability--- so we can handle change, open-mindedness to respect different ideas, digital literacy to use technology wisely, and caring for the environment to secure our planet's future. These qualities, combined with our traditional values, make us good citizens in the modern world.
