Synthesis

The governmental agencies of the Philippines continue to establish different programs in order to achieve gradual and effective development of the state of the nation and countrymen.

We can see this by overlooking the bustle of activities here and there.

Since the rainy season has started, DOH encourages to conduct precautionary measures to avoid diseases such as dengue. They assigned monitoring teams as feedback to the rise of dengue cases and therefore gave a public notice to practice 4S strategy at home.

On a different note, DOH also provided blood bags to CALABARZON health units.

Apparently, the overall health of an individual also covers the reproductive state and ability to manage the desired number of children in a family.

POPCOM on the other hand, aims to improve the population control practices by conducting seminars on sexual and reproductive health starting from indigenous people.

DTI as we all know, is in charge of ensuring that products qualify to standards. This includes construction materials used industrial projects for public use. The department recently conducted a surprise inspection in firms selling construction materials.

DepEd on the other hand, makes sure to provide quality education to all students, and partnered up with TESDA in part of the TVL track takers.

DepEd also reassures the rebuilding of classrooms destroyed by fire in Dumaguete, and helps indigenous people have easier access to school by constructing them of walking distance from the sitios (subvillages).

BFP-CAR now sets new standard for workers—to not only be physically active and strong but also mentally prepared for immediate action.

The land transportation departments launched new and high-functioning vehicles in Tacloban and Isabella.

The customs issued a new memorandum for improved security purposes.

DSWD reached out to the families plagued by the earthquake in Bohol, and released some important details regarding the welfare of the recipients of ‘Pantawid Pamilya’ program.

On the other side of all these assessment of development lies the hindrances in its achievement—one of which is corruption.

President Duterte signed up for the expansion of anti-corruption laws to resolve further anomalies in the sectors empowered by authorities.

It is in the hands of the government that national development lies in.

The Philippine government aims to solve the arising conflict in our country and overlook the actions done across different areas.

Through these articles, we’ve witnessed the “little steps” taken by different agencies, and their purpose for doing so. Although these steps are quite basic and sometimes seem unfitting (e.g. seminars), they play a crucial role in the assessment of the main objective.

Problems and hindrances may be present, but with people willing to cooperate, there will be progression.

Whatever area the agencies specify in—health, agriculture, education, traffic, or reproductive health—they adapt to the needs of the people.

The actions and steps of the government, together with the cooperation of the people, are the most crucial factors in the progression of change in a developing country like the Philippines.

There is this saying “If there are errors, then there is a need of change”. We the Filipinos should not just look on what lies right now. We should learn to overlook not only the future but look back on what we conquered. Our country, The Philippines, needs our cooperation. Change is not our enemy, instead it is our strength. Strength to build better acquaintances, get better resources, maintain better connections and for a brighter future ahead.
