might affect it. This subject also made me know myself better and view things from a
different perspective.
There were a lot of activities that we did throughout our MT Health Care class. We
had a collage making together with our own groupmates and it was our first time working
together as a team. It helped me practice my skills in working with other people and to be
able to make a great product to present to the whole class. We also had our SWOT Analysis,
opportunities and threats that I face. This can help me focus on our own strengths, minimize
my weaknesses, and take the greatest possible advantage of opportunities available to me.
It also helped me know the people I are working with better and we can use it to help us
know our advantages and disadvantages as a group. We also did a role playing that
challenged our creativity, teamwork and cooperation as a team. It made me realize what
other peoples situation might be going through because of the stories my group and the
other groups portrayed in our own play. We also conducted health-related surveys to
communities in Manila. Based from the data we gathered, I find out that there are different
factors that affects the health of the people in a community. I think that it is very important
to have a clean environment and a healthy lifestyle to be able to take care of our health.
We also distributed some hygiene kits to a community that hopefully will help them take
good care of their health and to also share our knowledge about the factors that may affect
their health.
By the end of our class, I learned a lot of things about myself, other people and of
course the importance of health. I am thankful to our RLE Professors for helping us
accomplish all of those activities and guiding us throughout the semester. I am glad that I
took this sujbect because of the wonderful things I got to experience and all the lessons
Iearned.

first, I had a hard time adjusting with the new environment and
didn't like my groupmates because they already know each other and I was left behind. But
then, I finally came out of my shell as I join them in the making of our collage. I stepped
out and suggested the concept I have in mind. With this, I have finally opened and
participated as a grpup memeber. The whole semester I was really happy with my
groupmates. Even thought sometimes we are having a hard time in managing our time and
in the distributing the things to do, we still managed to always give our best may it be in
reporting, printed outputs and even in passing the peer evaluation forms. What I have
learned in this subject is the true meaning of community service and a sense of
responsibility. From the malaria management program making to the the seminars we
ought to implement in the community. One of the highlights of my whole RLE experience
is the surveying we did to the slums of Tondo, Manila. Going there with no idea of how to
approach people and to really put the things we discussed in the classroom to a real
community was hard. But together with my very out-going and cooperative groupmates
we managed to deliver our data with the extra effort of acquiring those.
When it comes to my professors, I was very happy with our adviser teacher for the RLE,
Mr. Ezra Ramos. He helped us in digging into our seminars to our outputs. He was very
light when it comes in pointing out our shortcomings and in giving us constructive
criticisms. To our three professors, thank you! Thank you for the learnings and to a fun-
filled semester. Not only we get to help the community but also, be ready in applying
community service in the future as real professionals. To my classmates, thank you for the
friendly competition and unending patience when Im asking questions to your discussions.
Surely I will always remember this course and especially, you guys! Thank you and cheers!

Before taking up the subject healthcare, I had no prior knowledge on what goes on the
hands.
Before our first official activity, our professors got changed quite a few times due to
schedule conflicts. But despite the bumpy first meeting, I was able to enjoy it along with
my groupmates. Presenting our collage of a healthy man and sharing our SWOT analysis,
I was able to analyze and observe my classmates better. Being able to present in front made
me prepare better and made my abilities and skills of help on our performances. Playing
one of the major roles in our play made me nervous, but at the same time it elevated my
confidence to be able to deliver a role that will catch the audience's eyes. It made a
difference as I was able to put faith that our group was and will be able to present a worthy
play in front of the class. The days we spent practicing was filled with open opinions,
teamwork, and noisy groupmates! Nevertheless, I saw our teamwork and though it didn't
show during our play (it was good, I tell you!) but for me, our play was the best for me.
After the play, we proceeded to do surveys and ocular visits on our chosen locations. With
the weeks we spent going back and forth, I saw what our chosen location was lacking on
and what it was prosperous on. Our community lacked the proper hygiene and garbage
segregation. We then proceeded to make proposals and potential seminars for the barangay.
Finalizing everything, we were able to hand out hygiene kits mainly to kids, then the
mothers, then lastly to the elderlies. It made me thankful on the things I have, and made
me think of possibilities on how my profession can further bring them solutions and a little
bit more comfort. It made me realize how providing a little help goes a long way. It was an
By the end of the class, I was a bit more responsible and mindful of my actions. It also
made me see things in a bigger perspective. Having more than what I need should be
enough. And that having less than what I need means how much hard work and
determination every single one needs to fulfill their needs. All of the activities may have
given me different opinions and views, but at the end of the day, there was something worth
to be learned and kept. Also, kudos to all of my professors for helping me finishing the
course without my head hanging low. They had the basics down and the knowledge that
was needed to be taught to us students. They were able assist us throughout every activity.
This experience was very memorable and will remain one of the experience I'll certainly
never forget. I will continue to learn and apply the lessons and values learned through my

that can be bite from published literatures but offers knowledge that can be taught beyond
the dimension of FEU. It opens my eyes and widens my minds about the reality of this

new insight and wisdom beyond domination of a given questionnaire. Moreover, Seeing

and lessons. It first taught me the value of time. I do admit that most of time our group
crammed the given activities to us. It also made me realize the importance of a leader.
There was no one who facilitates the group. It might be the reason behind our series of
cram sessions. I also learned the value of respect. We are all different. We have do not
share the same opinions, experiences nor attitudes. But this should not be a reason to
forget our manners. We, as future medical practitioners, benefit from this experience.
Medical practitioners should incorporate proper etiquette towards their patients. More
importantly, it has taught me the importance of public health to our community which is
concerned with the prevention of disease, prolonging life and promotion of health.

The Related Learning Experience taught me a lot of things not only through lectures
and classroom settings, but also by interacting and involving in the community. Indeed, it
also showcased our talents and personalities as a young individual through different means,
by reporting, creating an act of role play, et al. If one is going to say that the course is just
"petiks", well let me tell you, it is not. The course from the start is all about team building
already. The purpose of dividing us into groups is for us to learn how to be cooperative in
our set of groups to accomplish a certain task. I can say that the vital characteristic that is
needed in this course is cooperation. One will have a hard time to accomplish all the tasks
that has been given in this course if you are alone. This course also helps to create a bond
Each and every activities is important and will be memorable especially when our
group went to a certain area in Tondo, conducting surveys to gather data for our study. That

I had a great time. Before, when I see people doing those jobs, I just ignored them. But
after placing myself into their shoes, I appreciated the meaning of their job. I can say that
it is not an easy task. You will be rejected a plentiful times, you might think of quitting,

If you will think about the Related Learning Experience, it is not just a matter of

another week after the program to collect all the money from all the students. Being a part
of an organization out of school this helped me in its own way during the RLE program
because there I also handled money and the expenses of the whole organization. This
helped so much that we were able to spend only 4,807 Pesos from our budget of 7,800
Pesos which was probably enough if we were to push through with our program.

pass by fast, little did I know that I have already obtained new ideas
and knowledge about what this course is all about. This course is
outside of the comfort zone of each student. Going back to the first

wherein we listed out our strengths and weaknesses. I was so shy back then to face
everyone because they were new faces, but through those activities, I gained the confi-

became very "maarte" because of the new information that I have acquired. In the middle
of the term, when we had the film showing, I realized that I am very lucky to have this kind
of life. God has been very good to most of us, so we must pay him by spreading out his
reason. First, it gave me the idea on how most of the residents on other places struggle just
to eat three times a day. Next, it made me realize that most kids nowadays dont only just
play, but also work to help their fami-ly. Encountering these kinds of people makes me
want to give them everything. But, I dont have enough money and I dont think its a good
idea that theyll get it easy. They must learn how to earn it in a good way.
Being with MT210 is a blessing itself, so as being with the professors. The
professors are very friendly and very easy to talk with. This subject took me to places I
haven't been before. For an in-stance, our group went to Tondo,Manila to conduct a survey
