For SCIENCE and <3
After our surveys and all that, we found out that Tuberculosis is the primary concern in the community that we're in. With that being said, we focused on the problem. 


We conducted a seminar, had games, had fun, gave free food, and all that stuff. I guess it's really very helpful for the community since according to the survey we conducted last time, most of them are not able to finish school so it's not everyday that someone like our speaker would come to their community and inform them about their number 1 concern when it comes to health.


Us hearing our leader's explanation. Me playing the role of kunwaring nakikinig. Chika lang. Haha


We invited an alumni as a speaker of the said event. We, students, actually listened more to the lecture than the stake holders. Quite an awesome lecture.


F na F! The guys should actually have their dance number but since they're too shy to dance, these little kiddos did the thing for them.


And then us, the food committee did our thing. We distributed packed lunch to the people who attended our seminar and all that thing that happened. I don't know if my group mates feel the same way or whatever but I really feel thankful for this experience. Thankful that I get to talk to people who I probably wouldn't have a chance to talk with if not for this activity.  I'm not a people person. I might consider being a PATHOLOGIST. 


Anyways, thank you UST for having a program like this. I mean, even though it can really be so tiring, at the end of the day, you can always give it a rest. But you can't take away the experience. Thank you Mr. Tiu and Mr. Raymundo for the pictures! :) I owe these pictures to you guys.

More Community.
These are just pictures from our latest community trip which I've learned a lot from. Like, not directly. But you know, sometimes, we have to really reflect and see things differently for us to actually learn. It's not always like in the uni or school or any learning institutes you know. We learn from our own experiences too.


Unlike before, this community trip is actually sponsored and so we were able to rent buses and all that for the trip. If you can remember, we actually just rented a jeepney on our first field work.


Another picture before actually setting off.


This is how the community looks like. I guess we were lucky because it didn't rain and all that and with the existing condition of the community, I think we wouldn't actually like the rain very much.


For some reason, we were really happy LOL. Say hi to my partner.


A picture of me inside the maze like path that our preceptor was talking about prior to the deployment. It was really really dark and I can't imagine how people live their lives there but it was fun. Like, fun learning experience.


Say hi to my Korean friend slash co-intern. :))


Me interviewing a family in action! :)



Finalizing the work. 


Happy because we finished work earlier than last time. :))
