Cebu Regis Leadership Call to Arms by Dr. Kerwin Mark L. Gubantes

Dear Prof Jorge,
Good evening! How are you? I hope everything is well . I am sending you this Advocacy speech of mine, I hope you find it interesting.

Cheers!
Kerk

CEBU REGIS LEADERSHIP
Call to ARMS - My Advocacy
Leader Kerwin Mark L. Gubantes, MD

Ladies and Gentlemen, friends, friends of Mother Earth, good Morning! It is with great concern that I am before you today. As you could see around you and witness firsthand the destruction Mankind has brought upon our Home Planet. Greenhouse gases polluting the atmosphere and the air that we breath, increasing carbon dioxide levels from every source imaginable is elevating the temperature of our planet. This phenomenon leads to Melting of the Ice Shelves and consequently leads to rising sea levels and warming of the waters. Furthermore there are already signs of bleaching and destruction of the coral reefs documented in many parts of the planet such that there is already disruption of the Marine ecosystem and thus depletion of the food supply chain. The changing weather patterns, stronger typhoons and Hurricanes, longer droughts in many parts of the world as well as the rise of many deadly diseases can all be traced to the wanton destruction of Mother Earth. When is it going to stop? When do we start to realize what we have done? What are we going to do about it?

Maybe we could start by looking inwards first, our very lives, how we conduct our day to day activities. Are we conserving energy? How can we lessen our carbon footprint? Maybe instead of cutting trees, we should start Planting again. We could start using energy efficient devices to reduce our need for power. Let us shift our focus on Renewable sources of energy like Solar, Geothermal, Wind and Hydroelectric to generate power to supply our needs. These sources will significantly cut the need for fossil fuels like coal which is widely used today to generate electricity.

Notes on the AVP and guidelines for those not yet presented

'Quamplurimi et quam aptissimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

Notes on your AVP

The AVPs must contain the future advocacy/passion love of the Student Leader as specified in the syllabus like addressing the world hunger.  After going through the contents of the first two reflection paper:  Defining Moments, the Internal and External Factors (the Enneagram and the Genogram), the third stage is the passion. (RP #3).  The Leader must define his future goal - what he loves doing.  Thus it could be an advocacy -  helping the elderly, helping the less privileged, under nourished, helping people who are hungry and sick.  Helping those who can not go to school. etc.  As it is most the AVP stay on RP 1 and RP2.  Yes, all that we did in class are organized and interrrelated and very coherent

Make a dent in the universe.

Do what you love to do.

How do you stay hungry?

How do you make the wonderful gifts given to you by God to help his other creatures?

How do you get of the box (of your current life) to be heroic?

Are you responding to the call of leadership?

REFLECTION PAPER NO. 3 - MY PASSION by Leader Belina Katigbak

Reflection Paper 3

By:  Leader Belina S. Katigbak

What is your passion (what is it that you love doing)?  How is it reflected in your work, daily life, and life's journey?

When I was in grade school, I had a great passion for writing.  I was the class secretary year after year.  I loved to write on the blackboard and pretended that I was the teacher. When I was in high school, our then parish priest asked me to be his secretary during summer breaks.  One summer, back from his vacation in the United States, my parish priest who was at the same time parochial school director, was impressed with the diary of events that I did while he was away.  He read my documentation of what transpired and said something like I was a good steward.  I realized that this was the beginning of my love for journaling. 

            I love to do a good number of things, small ones as well as big ones.  Early on, I realized that I have the gift of transforming a plain look into a beauteous one.  I love to clean, put order, and re-arrange our house, making sure that it looks good no matter how small it was then.  I also love to decorate, do cut-outs to add beauty to something. I have a passion to make do of scraps.  For example when I was in high school, when mini-skirt fashion was "in", I would transform unused portion of a clothing material into a mini-skirt.  I love sewing, too.  I enrolled in sewing classes in the 80's.  During the first year of my marriage, my husband bought me the most expensive Singer sewing machine so that I could pursue my hobby.  That was the "passionate domesticated" young Belle.

Reflection Paper No. 3 by Leader Dr. Suzette K. Munoz - My Passion and Advocacy

Good evening po Prof.  I know it is still quite early to submit my reflection paper no. 3, but just as well, I still opted to submit it already.  I have no intention though of adding pressure to my co-leaders. Thank you so much Prof. < It does Leader Dra.  They must do their papers early and must excel/exceed your work>

REFLECTION PAPER NO. 3 by Leader Dr. Suzette K. Munoz 4

MY PASSION AND ADVOCACY IN LIFE

Introduction:

            The miracle of birth is a fascinating event – the arrival of a new life into this world encapsulates the wonders of the human body and also captures the intricacies of how the body experiences change to accommodate the growth of another life in the womb. Moreover, the experience that a mother to be undergoes during the process is one which showcases tremendous perseverance, strength and willpower. While it is significant to appreciate and recognize the role of a mother in caring for a newborn before birth in terms of maintaining a healthy diet, exercising and sustaining her emotional wellbeing – the team of medical professions that assist the mother during this experience by being an instrument in bringing these babies to the world must also be recognized.

My Life Story as to How My Career as an Obstetrician-Gynecologist was Cultivated to Become My Passion, being an Obstetrician:

Even if at age 3, I already dreamt of being an obstetrician-gynecologist knowing that it would give me a fulfilling career so I could continue the legacy of my parents for the less fortunate, it was certainly not my passion yet, because at that early age, I did not even know what passion meant and have not even heard of that word. As I pursued with my medical schooling, it was during our clinical clerkship (4^th year of Medicine Proper) when I had my two (2) month's rotation at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology that I was exposed to this specialty. I was on a 24 hours duty when I was decked to this 24 y/o G1P0 pregnant woman whom I watched in labor at her bedside for practically 20 hours. I monitored the intensity of the uterine contractions with my hand on her tummy all the time and writing the frequency of the contractions and the fetal heart tones of the baby on the monitoring sheet. I felt so tired and had some sleepy episodes, but I could not rest and leave the patient as otherwise I would be reprimanded by my resident.  I was sleepless all throughout my duty. And when the time came that she became fully dilated and effaced, I rushed her to the delivery room only to find myself standing in front of her pelvis, fully scrubbed and anxious if I will be able to successfully deliver her baby without complications. The bag of water broke and with a few pushes, I saw the head of the baby descending to the pelvic outlet. I gently delivered the baby following the simultaneous maneuvers learned from our subject of Obstetrics. The baby cried, the mother cried, and I also cried signifying tears of joy on my part having been an instrument in bringing a new being into the world. I could not find the right words to explain what I felt at that very moment. There was extreme joy in my heart after I delivered the baby. All the exhaustion, the sleepless night, and the sacrifices I experienced during labor watching suddenly became insignificant and were all erased and all that mattered to me then was I delivered a baby boy! 

During my internship at the Jose B. Lingad Memorial Hospital, I was able to deliver more babies through either the vaginal or abdominal route.  What I noticed though in this government hospital was the unruly treatment of the patients in labor by the midwives. The patients in labor were laid to the delivery beds only when the babies were almost about to come out, that was on the 2^nd stage of labor. You would see these patients crying and moaning in pain along the corridors of the hospital. I learned it was a common practice as there were not enough delivery beds, delivery room staff and they don't do labor watch to monitor the progress of labor. I felt this to be disheartening and I had many what ifs, i.e. what if something bad would happen to the baby, what if the mother would suddenly develop complications during labor, what if the baby would just come out at the corridor, what if the mother or baby would die during labor? All these what ifs kept me bothered and I could not merely ignore them. Even if it was not in my job description as a postgraduate intern, I felt I had a moral obligation to correct this. I personally talked to the Chief of Clinics and proposed guidelines on improving maternal and neonatal health care with whatever resources we had at the hospital. I volunteered to give lectures to midwives and even nurses on the proper care of patients in labor and even counseled them on treating these patients with love and care even if they were only charity patients so to say.  I instilled in them that every human being, no matter what stature you have in life, should be treated as equal and to practice the Golden Rule, "Do not do to others what you don't want others to do unto you." It was a learning experience for all of us and I was amazed at the changes I noted, and it was my prayer then that even if I was no longer there after finishing my internship that they would still continue with the proper care of the parturient and that if the time comes that I would be a full-pledged Obstetrician-Gynecologist, I would continue to pursue implementation of proper and efficient maternal and neonatal health care in whatever capacity I would have.  I felt at this point, that I wanted to follow the path of being an Obstetrician-Gynecologist as a career, but I believe too that my passion for delivering healthy babies from healthy mothers stemmed from this circumstance that I witnessed in the government hospital. The mere fact that I fought for it has proven my enthusiasm to defend what was to the best interest of the patients in labor.

Now came the time of soul searching where I had to decide whether to follow the path going to Obstetrics & Gynecology knowing the hazardous trail I would have to go through in this journey. Obstetrics & Gynecology, especially Obstetrics, is not for everyone.  You must have utmost patience, dedication, strong will, love, commitment and courage to be an Obstetrician. You must be willing to sacrifice your time, and make yourself available anytime you are called for a patient in labor. Gone would be those out of town and out of the country trips for the sake of your patients who would really trust that you would be the one to deliver their babies after having put their confidence and trust in you for 9 months during the regular prenatal check-ups. While much of an obstetrician's work with pregnant women happens prior to the birth of a baby, the thrill of helping bring new life into the world is the hook for some. During residency, obstetricians often get their first opportunities to help deliver a child. Though intense -- and sometimes risky -- the miracle of birth often affects the doctor as much as it does the family of the baby. Obstetrics is a medical specialty that focuses solely on women. Providing topnotch medical care for women during pregnancy and in reproductive health situations is appealing to some. If you have a personal desire to care for women and be a part of their journey through pregnancy, this may be your calling. Passion is often what gets obstetricians excited about late-night calls to a birthing room. Keeping in mind all these, I believed I was determined to be an Obstetrician-Gynecologist and so I pursued with my residency training in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the United States Air Force Regional Medical Center Clark.  It were a rigorous three (3) year residency training and I was so blessed to have had my training in this institution with top of the line equipment/s and with the best training in all aspects of maternal and reproductive health care. I was exposed to several techniques of external and internal fetal monitoring using gadgets not even available yet even in big institutions in Manila at that time. Also, it was during residency training where we would have wanted to experience most of the varied complications of pregnancy, parturition and postpartum so that we could learn to best manage them so that we would be more confident in managing these complications when we would be exposed to them in our own private practice.

My career as an Obstetrician-Gynecologist for the past 25 years has been very fulfilling.  And this part of my career, being an Obstetrician, has become my passion without a doubt.  Even up to my age of 60 years old, I never lost the drive to wake up during the wee hours of the morning when called for a delivery. I never complain about having sleepless nights and never complained that I could not do as I pleased because I have to make myself available for my patients in labor anytime.  I had to miss and sacrifice a lot in my life for my patients in labor. And all of these are worth sacrificing for because the extreme joy of bringing a new life into this world will make the difference.

The Fullness of My Passion as an Obstetrician:

My passion in life is being an obstetrician because I believe this path in the medical field presents immense challenges but is also fulfilling for an individual on an intrinsic and emotional level. The role of obstetrical care in childbirth is fundamental because the healthcare offered to a pregnant woman by an obstetrician encompasses all aspects of labor from the birth of the child to post-partum care in the period which follows. The most important role that is to be played by an obstetrician is to gauge the current situation and factors before and during the patient goes into labor and assessing those elements to conduct effective decision-making. These critical decisions include understanding when labor has begun or when it is expected based on the imminent signs. This allows the obstetrician to recommend the procedure for ensuring that the health of the mother and the baby is never compromised.

While career considerations especially in the field of healthcare are highly significant when making decisions about the path that an individual wishes to choose, the intrinsic reward of being an instrument in bringing a life into this world is unmatchable. As an obstetrician I will be able to establish a positive association with my patients by being a part of one of the most memorable and momentous moments in their life. The personal satisfaction, intrinsic motivation and self-actualization that this could possibly bring may not be possible to attain in any other area of medicinal practice. Also, an obstetrician's responsibility towards a mother does not finish at the delivery of the child but only begins at that moment because an OB/GYN serves as a guide to the health of women throughout different stages of their life.

Therefore, the patient-doctor relationship in this area of medicine is something which I highly value as it is pivotal in designing a care plan for the patient that meets their requirements and expectations. I believe that by fulfilling my lifelong passion of serving as an obstetrician, I would be able to be a part of a very special moment in the lives of families that have been looking forward to it for so long. This career path has a degree of personal connection with the patients, which I understand would equip me in understanding their needs and assessing them accordingly. Thus, by establishing this personal connection and patient rapport I hope I can make a difference in the lives of patients and offer them support during this critical stage in their lives.

My Advocacy that Goes With My Passion:

It has been recorded that in economically underdeveloped countries, including our country where the standard of living of citizens is not up to a standard to ensure the successful provision of medical facilities, the health of a mother and a child may be at risk because of inadequate support. This notion asserts that under circumstances when a pregnant woman is unable to secure obstetrical care, the unavailability of these facilities puts the child at risk of serious health consequences. Thus, the significance of obstetrical care during the period defines the challenges that are faced by an obstetrician and overcoming these challenges to offer the optimum care to the patient and the child is immensely rewarding.

As my advocacy to help reduce maternal morbidity and mortality, I am actively supporting and participating in the advocacy programs of our mother society, The Philippine Obstetrical & Gynecological Society among which are:

·                      POGS Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – This is a program in line with one of the United Nation's MDGs, that of improving maternal health by lowering maternal mortality rates by the year 2015, the POGS is embarking on a program to train and equip the midwives with the needed skills and knowledge to properly manage uncomplicated pregnancies and refer problematic cases to appropriate centers and physicians. Sufficient funding is paramount for the success of this endeavor.

·                       

·                      Advanced Labor and Risk Management (ALARM) – The program includes a module for normal newborn care, including newborn resuscitation in a health care facility and in the community; on preventive care; and on recognition and management of problems following resuscitation or in the first week of life.  The Society also accredits hospital obstetric services.

Conclusion:

In the Summary of Thoughts, my answer to all the ten (10) questions in the "The Passion Test" is a perfect 10!  There is no doubt whatsoever that my passion is my career, being an obstetrician.

And two quotes that describe my passion, " It's not how much money you make that ultimately makes you happy.  It's whether or not your work fulfills you.  The best feeling in the world is getting paid to do what you love." And "Neglecting passion blocks creative flow. When you're passionate, you're energized. Likewise, when you lack passion, your energy is low and unproductive. Energy is everything when it comes to being successful.  When passion and skill work together, the end result is often a masterpiece."

The joy of bringing a healthy new life from a healthy mother into the world is my masterpiece……….hence, it will remain my passion till my last breath.

<God puts you on where you are needed most - where needs are deepest, and that match your talents.  Congratulations Leader Dra.  Munoz.  Carry this light, ie of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity (as well as the infants) further into this world in this country in this time. and even beyond your time>

The class plan for the last 3 sessions and guidelines for the final requirements

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

August 3, 2015

As was discussed last Friday at the team building session, the class will hold only 2 more sessions to tackle Audio Visual Presentations, (final requirements)  and the Call to Arms speeches.  The Reflection Paper 3  (a number have submitted theirs all ready)will be submitted online for the 7th session.  From what we gather, as the last session falls on August 21, 2015, there will be a long week end vacation, and the class Leaders are unwilling to hold the session as last week (it was school holiday. The class schedule had 3 holidays:   Ramadan, St. Ignatius  birthday, and this ATOM).  nor are willing to hold make up classes before or after August 21, 2015. We will just compress the presentation and stay longer if necessary, and skip some activities

1.  Deadlines:

Thus the Reflection Paper 3 and the Final Integrative Paper will be submitted online.  Reflection Paper 3 deadline is August 14, Final Integrative Paper is on August 21, 2015

2.  Activities on August 7, and 14

    August 7, 2015,      27 call to arms speeches -  135 minutes minimum (two hours and 15 minutes

                                    14 AVP presentation 5 minutes each  70 minutes ( 1 hour 10 minutes)

                                     Total time   3 hours 25 minutes

    August 14, 2015     14 AVP and closing ceremonies;  

                                    decision making/conflict resolution

                                    Final group presentation speeches (song, dance)

                                   Singing of  Song to Mary

3.  Reminders on the final paper and AVP   (worth 30 points)


       1.  Our AVP requirements say: for session 8 (as written on the syllabus)  15 points

          "Students will showcase their personal mission as translated through posters , video presentation and other audio visual exhibit.  The exhibit should reflect the student's personal mission and passion addressing the "world's hunger"  We put 9 other options for the students to brain storm supposedly in the 5th session.  The leaders should have clarified their mission in the said exercise.

      The reflection paper 3 and the topic for the AVP are related.

      Ateneo, SJ wants you to be at the forefront, at the area where your faith and leadership meet the world's deepest needs. Where your talent, meets what the world urgently needs to solve. Unlike the Benedectine monks who hide behind the cloisters and monestaries, or OP who just teach, SJ want you to join the problems of the world, and help eradicate this.  As is with the present Pope Francis who got into trouble by not minding what the tyrants in his home country was doing against its people.  Some Jesuits were even involved in the Theology of Liberation

     Thus this Leadership class does not end in the 7th session or in this classroom.  It has to continue and prosper and bloom, through your ingenuity and heroism singly or as a class  We can not bury our heads  (like ostricth) in the textbooks, or the blog site, or the team building activities.  We have to be more. (Magi)  We have to be ingenious.

     Thus this leadership can evolve two ways (or even three ways)

1. To donate to causes, or engage in charitable work (Corporate Social Responsibility)

2.   Be the best you can be heroic in your present job.  God puts your talent where there is the deepest need.  Thus by being good, or being the best, you influence others, you generate more employment, more cures, less pain for the diseased, more enlightened students better products, :  for food, for telecon, better services etc. (Profit maximization to pay more taxers and finance govt operations and support society and economy.   Nation building where you are now.)

 3.  To engage full time in advocacies and ministries;   save the environment, breastfeeding, improving maternal health, fighting poverty, serving in  your church. (Social entrepreneurship)

The choice is yours.   We do not want to have students/graduates who in the pursuit of position of power  and wealth would be unmindful of present challenges.  While we make students aware of global warming, climate change, renewable and sustainable business, some student corporate officers of coal and bunker fuel fired reconditioned power plants would simply want their plant to obtain their ROI, but reducing their CO2 emissions (related to global warming) is Germane to this officer (finance) How is this related to Yolanda super typhoon

Call to Arms Speech by Leader Corazon Guevarra

Dear Prof. Saguinsin,

Below is the speech that I would like to deliver if given the chance to speak before  an audience  as an active leader of an advocacy group for the preservation of our environment that primarily helps in addressing the garbage and wastes disposal problem in the country.

I  have always been  an environmentalist in my own little way. And although presently, I am still constrained by my limitations, I am looking forward to being actively involved in educating the people about the gravity  of the problem  and the urgency to address it  extensively.

Thank you and more power Prof. God bless.

Best Regards,

Leader  Ma. Corazon. Q. Guevarra

My fellow Filipinos, the worsening garbage problem in the world especially in our country has compelled me to come to you today. Everyday, millions of tons of garbage are thrown out all over the world.  In the Philippines,  a  single resident produces  700 grams of waste per day.

Yes, we all agree that this is primarily a government predicament. But let me remind you that we are the cause of this problem and because of this, should all be aware that we play a big role in solving this problem.

Everyone has an obligation to make our country a better place to live in for our children and children's children and for the future generation. God has made us stewards of his creation and part of the duty of being stewards is to take care of our environment. Let us not then put all the burden to our government.

 Many of us are saying that the government is sometimes remiss in its obligations but we,  as responsible citizens should not dwell on this issue instead partake in the responsibility because with so many problems that our country is currently facing, the government  can only do so much.

Mind mapping and brainstorming

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)



After the team building activities tomorrow, we have the what "Ails the PH?" brainstorming activity/mind mapping

XII. ACTIVITY 4 – OBSTACLE COURSE (CM Tristan/Anne)  - 40 minutes

XIII. ACTIVITY 5 – CHAOS (CM TRISTAN)   -   25 minutes

XIV. DINNER             --         8:00 PM

XV. RECAPITULATION OR DEBRIEFING:  Team Leader Dr. Suzette

XVI. What Ails PH Activity  -  after the team building

For this we need 5 cartolina of different colors, and 5 sets of 1 row of crayons.

1.  We will raffle the 9 topics for brainstorming

6.  What ails the world PH -   The group will brainstorm on what ails the world Philippines.  They will select from amongst the various general topics and list down priorities and plan of action (5W 1H)

      1.  Environment

      2.  Transportation

      3.  Energy

      4.  Urban town planning vs population growth

      5.  Food security

      6.  Health

      7.  Terrorism/religious wars
      8.  Poverty
      9  Employment/ofw/migration

2.  Then using Mind map methodology, the group members draw  branches  for the main topic so raffled.  MInd Maps by Tony Buzan

Why am I doing this ahead of time? To prepare for:

      1.  Preparing for Reflection Paper 1 due on Session 7 (the last session)

      2.  And AVP showcase, where your mission is new advocacy probably selected form 1 to 9, or even outside of this categories.  

      Since we were not able to do this yesterday, it may be too late for you to scrounge for your future love or passion.

3. The idea is to generate ideas that can be used by the student Leader as their advocacy for the showcase, from their brainstorming or that of other groups. What could be your passion as a leader outside the box, or when you retire? Or what do you really like doing, were it not for the need to survive?
