particularly in Abra and Ilocos Norte, are the creators of
this dance.
Origin of Sakuting
● Through the use of staccato inflections, rhythmic

tapping, and rondalla, sakuting music exhibits
influences from both China and Spain.

colonization of the Philippines, Filipinos managed
to keep the traditional art alive by creating a folk
dance that mimicked the arnis steps.

performing with sticks.

demonstrations or including ballet movements, but the
element of representing a fight is still there.

3 Types of Cigarette Smoke
1. Mainstream smoke - Smokers breathe in the smoke

directly.

more hazardous than typical smoke. It is produced by
cigarette smokers' exhaled smoke.

compounds are still present. It describes the smoke
that is left behind after being exposed to cigarette
smoke on your clothes, sofa, pillows, mattresses, and
other items.

Negative Effects of Smoking
Bad Breath - Your mouth will smell bad as you exhale, which is just one of the
minor side effects of smoking cigarettes.

in cigarettes cause uncontrollable cell growth in the body.

interact with lung infections.
Bronchitis - Smoking cigarettes contains toxic substances that irritate the lungs'
airways from the trachea.
Heart Disease - Your cardiovascular system's control and functionality can be
impacted by smoking.
High Blood Pressure - As cigarette smoke passes through your bloodstream, the
blood vessel walls become thicker. Blood exerting itself against the arteries too
vigorously can harm them.
Alcohol's Harmful Effects on Health
Drinking too much alcohol can cause mental and physical

health issues, such as poor academic performance,
interpersonal issues, decreased productivity, accidents,
unemployment, and family issues.
Alcohol's Long-Term Effects

makes it more difficult for your liver to operate.
• Cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, colon, rectum, and liver can
all be influenced by alcohol in any form.
• The risk of stroke rises as a result of its impact on the arteries
that carry blood to the brain.
• Pancreatitis, or pancreatic inflammation, can result from
excessive alcohol intake.

pressure
