 I. INTRODUCTION

The convenient access to healthcare is a fundamental human right that influences

individual well-being and the overall health of communities. Unfortunately, for a small

developing province with the likes of Bohol, the challenge of facing inadequate convenience to

healthcare persists, impacting communities. From this idea stems the community health service

project of the department of Medical Technology of the prestigious catholic institution, Holy

Name University, where Medical Technology sophomores receive brief yet proper training under

the expertise of the department’s professors. This study seeks to address the gap between

lifestyle and healthcare by exploring the interrelatedness of geographic makeup, income, access

to adequate healthcare, and health in general.

In the town of Corella lies the village of Tanday, an area with a thriving community

despite it being rather niche. Majority of the inhabitants’ dilemma is the inadequate access to

healthcare due to it being positioned far away from the heart of the town, which explains the lack

of healthcare infrastructures contributing to the hindrance of timely and adequate health

services. Many of the families are living on a tight budget due to low income which leads them

to neglect prioritizing healthcare. This leads them to developing serious diseases such as diabetes

mellitus, hypertension, lymphoma, lung or cardiovascular diseases, and kidney diseases.

The study methodology encompasses a thorough collection of qualitative and quantitative

data through conducting a house-to-house interview. This study aims to capture the nuanced

7
interplay of factors contributing to the development of chronic diseases, including geographical

disparities, socio-economic constraints, lifestyle, and access to healthcare.

Furthermore, the findings of this research hold potential to inform healthcare providers about

areas with similar geographic makeup and their conditions. The ultimate goal is to provide

evidence-based recommendations that optimize the benefits of health education and orientation

in fostering an aware and healthier community.

This study underscores the interrelatedness of lifestyle, profit, belief, and health in general . By

systematically examining the multifaceted nature of this challenge, this study aims to capitalize

positive changes, advocating for more outreach efforts in helping small communities like Tanday

care about their health and well-being.

 CONCLUSION

In summary, the lack of proper health education and limited access to quality healthcare,

along with factors such as income, geographic makeup, educational attainment, beliefs, diet, and

lifestyle, compromise the overall health of the inhabitants who live in the remote area; they are

likely to become or are already likely diabetic and hypertensive, and could be possible to develop

lymphoma and kidney diseases. In contrast to that, it is found that most of the residents in

Tanday execute rather long periods of exercising; consequently, this does not compromise their

cardiovascular health.

The overall dilemma of the study can be boiled down to the lack of proper health

education and the inconvenient access to timely healthcare, which is directly caused by the

geographic makeup wherein the village is located rather far away from the nearest health facility.

This conclusion emphasizes the need for urgent actions to improve healthcare and education in

these areas. The findings of this research have the potential to serve as a recommendation to

healthcare professionals and local communities–allowing them to oversee the situation and help

mitigate further development of such diseases. Investing in better education about health and

improving healthcare services can help people in remote areas live healthier lives and prevent

these diseases.

IV. REFLECTION

REFLECTION I
by DANIEL BASBAS JR.
The community visit on Purok 4 was very challenging, as the path there was very
slippery and muddy. My first perception of our first visit was that the people in the community
may not be cooperative with us students. Although it's different from how those people are so
cooperative and how eager they are to get consulted and diagnosed, I'm so proud of myself for
not backing out of doing the medical diagnosis, for I was sometimes nervous when I did the
hematocrit. Although there were some shortcomings as there were not enough houses to be
diagnosed, it was still a good visit for me as I met new people and learned about their stories.
They teach me the different lifestyles and the different shortcomings of a diabetic patient. It also
made me learn the hard truth: if you always smoke cigarettes and drink too much beer and soft
drinks. After finding out that my patient was already pre-diabetic, we advised him to limit his
daily intake and usage of cigarettes and alcohol beverages. After examining him, we return to
our school bus, and we examine our patient's data.

The next week after that, we chose another purok. Although the path leading to that
purok is much better than the latter, it is much more tiring as it is slightly inclined and we need
more effort to climb. After the short walk. We enter a patient's house and examine another
patient who is supposedly blind and has a history of hypertension. Before we initiate the pre-
collection, we first do an interview on his demographic information and start to get his blood
pressure, and he fortunately got normal values. We also get his blood glucose and prepare some
small blood in a capillary tube for the hematocrit determination. To further inquire about his
current health, we ask about his medication. pare some small blood in a capillary tube for the
hematocrit determination. To further inquire about his current health, we ask about his
medication.

During the community visit, I learned about the different perspectives of different people
and the consequences of living in a debauchery. A good lifestyle is important as it gives us the
guarantee to live a good life and also gives us the privilege to choose the right way for us to live.
It also gives us new learnings on leading a good life. I am reminded of the strong bonds formed
and the priceless lessons learnt as I wrap up my thoughts on our community visit. The value of
harmony, compassion, and group effort has been highlighted by this experience. Let us take the
passion and commitment we have seen here with us and turn it into ongoing initiatives that
empower and encourage when we leave. Together, we can continue to forge ahead with our
plans to make changes, develop bridges, and strengthen and fortify our community.

 REFLECTION II
by Nica Julliana M. Berondo
Nestled in the peripheral corner of Corella, Bohol, lies the village of Tanday where a

vibrant community thrives amidst its niche setting; where my endeavor of medical community

service unfolded. Delving into the cultural depths of Tanday with fellow medical technology

sophomores became a transformative experience, shaping my understanding of the differences in

lifestyle and how it affects health in general, community dynamics, and the profound impact of

service.

The community in Tanday, with its own set of healthcare intricacies, enlightened me to

the health disparities that exist. Low-income, old age, incomplete curricular education, and

limited access to medical resources and awareness highlighted the critical need for community-

oriented healthcare initiatives.

As a medical technology student assigned with the task to help elevate the community

from these disparities, my role extended beyond traditional medical assistance. From conducting

health education and community outreach programs, I found myself immersed in the diverse

range of activities. Engaging with locals, I honed my communication skills and learned about

their culture and how this affects their perspective in healthcare and medicine. Witnessing the

positive changes resulting from our efforts was incredibly rewarding. Seeing people nod in

agreement as we impart knowledge about their health made us think that we were doing the right

thing and not only for our benefit but mostly theirs. We, as a community, feel empowered as well

as the latter.

35
 On a personal level, this experience served as a crucible for growth. I discovered the

power of empathy in healthcare, understanding that it is not merely about treating ailments but

also about connecting with individuals on a human level. I was able to meet different people with

different backgrounds that provided different stories on how their life came to be. Their kindness

further awakened my empathy and before I knew it, I found myself sitting in front of a person

that I have only known about a minute ago, listening to their stories, not as a facilitator, but as a

person, the same kind as them. This sparked my interest in working in the field professionally

someday.

However, there were challenges met along the way like any other quest for greatness.

Since the puroks or zones only occupy a very small amount of houses, there was a competition

that happened between the students. This resulted in us walking lengthy distances only to find

out that other pairs have already come first. Yet we finished the task, nevertheless.

A myriad of lessons was I able to collect during the course of the activity. I learned that

true healthcare extends beyond clinical settings–it involves understanding the social determinants

of health and actively working to address them. Teamwork, adaptability, and cultural sensitivity

emerged as invaluable skills that go beyond textbooks.

My experience in working for the people of Tanday, Corella was not just a page in my

academic journey; it was a profound exploration of the intersection between healthcare and

community. The experience has left an indelible mark on my perspective, shaping me into a

36
more compassionate and culturally aware future healthcare professional. As I carry forward the

lessons learned in this activity, I am empowered with a renewed sense of purpose–a

commitment to serving not just individual patients but entire communities, working towards a

healthier place to live in.

 REFLECTION III
by Joice Faith Betonio
Immanuel Kant once said "In the quest for knowledge, researchers navigate the unknown,
where excitement and apprehension converge. Within this delicate balance unfolds the profound
stories of communities, revealing the beauty of discovery." As a researcher, I had the
opportunity to visit the community of Tanday in Corella, Bohol. It was an exciting experience to
meet new people and learn about their way of life. Nervous yet fueled by curiosity, I embarked
on a quest to meet new faces and delve into their narratives. The prospect of meeting new people
and conducting research in an unfamiliar setting filled me with a sense of both excitement and
apprehension.
Approaching people for research is a challenge, especially in a new community. In
Tanday, I learned that confidence and respect are key. A warm smile and a clear introduction
about the purpose of my research worked wonders. The people of Tanday surprised me with their
openness and willingness to share their experiences, making my research journey more
meaningful. One of the hurdles in research is waiting for responses. It can be disheartening when
people decline to participate. However, the satisfaction of finding a willing respondent for mass
activities was a rewarding experience. It made me appreciate the effort people put into research
and underscored the importance of building relationships and gaining trust within the
community. Gaining the trust of the community became a focal point. I realized that being
genuinely interested in their lives and respectful of their perspectives was crucial in establishing
rapport. This approach not only facilitated the research process but also allowed me to form
meaningful connections with the community members. As I navigated Tanday, I discovered the
significance of genuine interest and respect in establishing rapport. The authenticity of my
engagement with the community became pivotal. It wasn't just about collecting data; it was about
acknowledging and respecting the lives and perspectives of those who generously shared their
stories. Building connections went beyond the academic pursuit. I found myself forming
authentic relationships with the community members. The more I invested in understanding their
lives, the more they entrusted me with their narratives. The lines between researcher and
participant blurred as the research journey became a shared exploration. Community trust played
a crucial role, especially during mass activities. The willingness of individuals to participate
spoke volumes about the bonds that had been forged. It was a testament to the reciprocity
inherent in research—respect begets cooperation, and cooperation begets richer insights.
Reflecting on the reciprocal nature of the researcher-participant relationship, I realized that
research was a collaborative effort. It was not a one-way street; it was a dialogue between two
parties with distinct yet interwoven narratives. Casual interactions at community gatherings and
impromptu conversations became invaluable sources of insights. As I delved into the community
dynamics of Tanday, I understood that research was about more than just uncovering facts. Each
individual became a storyteller, contributing to the larger tapestry of the community's history and
identity.
As a researcher, I had the opportunity to visit Tanday in Corella, Bohol, and it was a

valuable experience that taught me the importance of approaching people with confidence and

respect. I learned that building relationships with the community and gaining their trust is

38
essential to conduct meaningful research. The satisfaction of getting willing respondents to

participate in mass activities was also a highlight of the experience. This experience has etched

in me a profound appreciation for the intricate dance between researcher and community, where

mutual understanding and respect create a tapestry of stories that withstands the test of time.

REFLECTION IV
by Romel Bucod
The Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology of Holy Name University conducted a

community visit in Tanday, Corella, Bohol. Us medtech students were tasked to conduct an

interview, Capillary Blood Glucose Test, Blood Pressure monitor, and Hematocrit test of the

residents living in that community. Everyone worked as a pair to make the assigned tasks easier

since we were only given a limited time to finish everything. One of the difficulties that we faced

when we arrived was finding a household. In every Purok, there were only a few households and

not everyone agreed to be entertained.

I witnessed the life of the residents in Tanday, Corella, Bohol, and it inspired me to

become a better version of myself. The life there was very different to the life that I am

cherishing and it made a light in me. It made me grateful for the things that I have and be

appreciative. I am so lucky to be born in this situation, where I don't have to think about my

living and just focus on my personal goals in life. I have witnessed a place where negativity did

not foster and grow, a place where positivity is shown in the faces of the people. Tanday is a

place where technology has not taken over. Being in this field, as a medical technology student,

made me experience and realize things. I was grateful for experiencing the community visit and I

39
learned a lot. I've always taught myself to look for the beauty of Tanday and look for beauty in

the faces of Tandayanons and to be grateful.

As a medical technology student the community visit had a great impact on me. The

culmination activity was both an honor and a responsibility. These experiences will be taken as

my life- lesson. During my community visit to Tanday, Corella, Bohol, I learned a lot about the

local culture, community dynamics, and the issues that residents confront. The experience was

not only enlightening but also profoundly enriching.

One of the bizarre experiences that is a core memory of my community visit was that I

have been lucky to interview someone who practice traditional healing or also known as

"Albularyo". I was surprised when we were told that she used to be an Albularyo. It was

mesmerizing listening to her life stories since it is not something that I hear everyday. We also

experienced to cross a bridge made by the residences. It was fun experience since that bridge for

sure is not that stable so it was somehow funny while we were crossing that bridge. Overall, our

experiences were all fun and we didn't even feel tired since our heart was poured into

entertaining the people and giving them services.

The disparities that exist in many rural communities have been heightened by limited

access to certain resources, educational opportunities, and healthcare services. Witnessing these

issues sparked empathy and emphasized the importance of eliminating such discrepancies in

order to ensure a more equitable and prosperous future for everybody. This firsthand experience

has not only broadened my awareness of rural dynamics, but it has also inspired a deeper

40
appreciation for the vast tapestry of cultures that contribute to our global society's present

diversity.

 REFLECTION V
by Dianne Katreen M. Budlong
In November 2023, the 2nd Year Medical Technology students of Holy Name University

had a Community Engagement Activity, and I was one of them. Walking and roaming around

the muddy streets of Purok 4 and 5, Corella gave me more reasons to pursue this course. Looking

at the many sick people who are incapable of acquiring their maintenance medications, or even

the food that they should be eating amazes me how they still strive to make it through their day

with big smiles on their faces. I want to be the living hope for their betterment. The heightened

drive to help these people is what makes this course even more fulfilling.

Engaging in the Corella community has deepened my sense of empathy as I connect with

individuals facing diverse challenges. Serving a community with inadequate resources has been

a humbling experience, revealing the resilience and strength within me. Witnessing their

experiences has cultivated a greater understanding of the importance of compassion and the

positive impact that small acts of service can have on people's lives. Despite limited resources,

their determination to support one another and find creative solutions has left a lasting

impression on me. This experience underscores the importance of resourcefulness, adaptability,

and the need for broader societal support to address systemic challenges faced by such

communities. This experience emphasizes the significance of resilience and flexibility, as well as

the necessity of wider community support in addressing the societal problems that these

communities face. It encourages me to push for fair sharing of resources and sustainable

solutions in order to empower these people and to work harder in my studies in order to become

qualified to help them.

42
 The remote places with muddy streets in Corella, the people who declined our requests,

and enduring the sore parts of our bodies, overcoming these challenges has been a test of

perseverance and dedication. Their neighborhood may be small, but looking for a house was

already difficult. The houses were far from each other. You have to walk 1-2 kilometers before

reaching another household, and you cannot even guarantee having a patient when you get to a

new household because this could either be empty or unapproachable. Every difficulty, whether

they were unanticipated or practical, has presented a chance for improvement. It has taught me

the importance of collaboration, determination, and maintaining a positive mindset. Despite the

challenges, the benefits to the community and the sense of accomplishment that comes from

overcoming obstacles make the experience valuable and strengthen my resolve to make a

significant contribution to the welfare of others.

From knocking the doors of the houses, to interviewing each patient, to reading blood

pressure, to collecting capillary blood, and to reading capillary blood glucose - this community

engagement, the learnings I have acquired, and the people I have helped will always hold a

special place in my heart and mind. A path of self-discovery and greater awareness of the

community has been ignited by this experience.

 REFLECTION VI
by Dyphna Yzabelle Bungabong
In the month of November, in the year of 2023. The program of Bachelor of Science in

Medical Technology, had an activity towards the 2nd Year students in their course Biostatistics

and Epidemiology. We the 2nd year BSMT students will have a Community Engagement in

Tanday, Corella, Bohol. Specifically in the class of 2-A, we were tasked to have our Community

Engagement in Puroks 3, 4 and 5.

In this activity, we were tasked to find a respondent. After finding a respondent,

Interviewing is next and after that is to check blood pressure and last for hematocrit collection

and random blood sugar test. Purok 3 and 4 were visited last November 8, 2023 and our last

visit was on November 15, 2023, in which all groups were a bit challenged to find their own

houses to interview. It is also to be kept in mind, not every resident is willing to have an

interview towards a stranger and also giving their personal information, most people are wary of

that kind of situation.

During this activity, I was in the 2nd group but during the merging and division of the 6

groups, we were in the 1st group. On our 1st visit, finding a house was difficult. It really was a

challenge, since the Purok we were assigned to visit was really muddy, therefore the road is not

made of concrete or asphalt and the houses built are a few meters away from each other. There

was no phone service, so finding help when in danger is really hard to achieve or just contacting

each other.

44
 In our situation with my partner, we only had three households that we were able to visit.

On our first visit we had one, in which my partner did the first interview towards our first

respondent but I was able to do my blood pressure, hematocrit collection and random blood

sugar test with the respondent’s family member. The second visit, I had my first and last

interview towards my respondent and another one from my partner, which made it two visits in

one day.

Luckily, finding our respondents was not hard, just a few treks and then voíla. From the

moment we ask for their permission and explain our purpose, the respondents will accept. My

partner and I were able to interview a family with high results and normal ones. We heard how

some respondents would boast how they would just stop drinking their medication for how

expensive it is. Some had stopped visiting hospitals for health checks since they had thought they

were all better, or vulnerable to visit the hospital, and some who abuse their body with alcoholic

drinks and inhaling cigarettes. Asking for a health check up is the last thing our respondents will

do, as I’ve observed them during our visits. They will just wait until the feeling will subside.

That is something I quickly realized on how common that is.

There is no denying that the respondents we interviewed came in a household who had

low incomes or none, or who only rely on the person who will provide it for them. As we

interviewed our respondents, I realized how blessed I am to live a comfortable life. I cannot help

but to compare my situation to theirs. To them, asking/receiving healthcare is a luxury. The

activity itself was a relief for them since they had someone who can do a free health check for

them.

Male Lead : Hay finally,recess na jud!

Female Lead: Yeah my favorite subject! Unsa imong paliton, love?
Male Lead: Ako gusto ko mupalit ug Cupcake ni Manang Ising, iyang Leche flan, Mango
tapioca, Chocolate cake, Banana que, camote que, toron. Nya, paresan dayon ug coke. Ay,

siya niining gitawag nga Type 1 diabetes. Maong nagahinay hinay siya sa iyang kaon ug gina
ampingan iyang lawas pamaagi sa pag exercise sa pang adlaw adlaw ug pag take ug insulin shots
o kontroladong pagkaon sa tam-is. Kani nga klase sa diabetes kay manginahanglan ug ikapuli o
substitute na insulin. Ang pancreas na parte sa lawas ang responsable sa paggama ug insulin,
kung ang pancreas sa lawas kuwang sa paggama or nag-undang sa paggama ug insulin. Delikado
kini sa usa ka tao, kay kung wala ang insulin makasulod sa atuang blood cells, magpundo kini sa
atung dugo ug makaingun na naay blood clots o gagmay na buong dugo na magharang sa atung
ugat na makaingun sa pagkamatay. Ang insulin, mao kini ang glucose o sugar na kinahanglan sa
atuang blood cells, para mahatagan ang atung lawas ug kusog.
