Geographical Location: Noveleta, Cavite

Type of community:

·         Small

·         B. Rural

·         C. Local

·         D. Physical

·         E. Community of Place and  Circumstances

 I.        Perspective:

·         The Social Science Perspective

Based on the definition from the book the example would be the kids, family or all in all the people of the Noveleta community but why? Because  they share the geographical location and experiences like the families are poor ( but not like poor poor but just poor) and experiences injustice that they encounter everyday for example the family of Nanay Rowena who has a child whom was shot but the gun man wasn't  arrested or captured while his husband is a construction worker, almost all of the fatgers are construction workera of RTMC company.

   ·         The Ecological Perspective

The people who voluntered to provide a church will be my example of ecological perspective, simply because the people in the community may not fully change their bahavior, beliefs or values but the volunteers implanted an idea which would thrn depends if the kidsnor parents would change their behavior or not because they can't be force to be change but little by little they can change.

·        

The Sectoral Community

First is the children sector because they are firat our purpose and since they can't can not exist in a community and since they are the new generation.

Second is the animal sector ( the dogs and cats) because they are the protector of the house and entertainment for the kids.

·         The Civil Society Perspective

This will be us, the HUMSS 12 OR La liga hominem 12 who did the outreach program that even by little helped one of the social issues in the community which is hunger.

Structure Of The Community

·         Politics for the politics of the Noveleta Community the problems would be the garbages, gossips and fightings of the people. The curfew wasn't usually obeyed and since there are no proper jail the people aren't afraid of the consequences of their actions, and so no one learned from their mistakes. The community also don't have their own group of authory like president of their own community for their own specific place, which can help in controlling their garbage waste.

A community based on the Noveleta Community is a group of peole who live in one place and face the same problems or social issues but still supports each other.

                              Project Plan in Counseling

                         Suggestion and Recommendation

Suggestion:

           Our suggestion for the guidance office is for them to help the students in their problems would be a seminar so that students who are afraid of being singled out or made fun of by their own peers can still get an advice. It would benefit everyone, even those who are not experiencing the same problems. This way, they can have an idea on how to help and counsel their own concerned family members or friends who are facing the same problems even in a simple and informal way.

           The seminars must be conducted in a relatively secluded place while different age groups would have different topics as their theme. The goal of this program is not to force the students but to help them, guide them in their decision making. Based on our survey students’ ages from 14 to 17 have problems in love life so they would be the target population. This is in order for them to know what they need to do when their love life problems are causing an interference in their studies or if they are still confuse with what they need to prioritize, love life or studying? While for the students within a more mature age group will have a seminar about peer pressure, relationship with classmates and identity crisis, about how peer pressure can damage one individual's life and how identity crisis should not be taken lightly.

HOPE

Geographical Location: Brgy. Salcedo II, Noveleta, Cavite

 Type of Community:

A. Small

B. (Poor) Urban

C. Local

D. Physical

E. Community of Place & Circumstances

PERSPECTIVE: 

A. Social Science 

This is the poor site of Brgy. Salcedo II, where a community was established on top of ‘smokey mountains’ or piled land of garbage. People shared experiences in many ways —for example, most of them usually children take a bath using this water pump. Other than that, it is a source of water in provision of primary needs. ‘Jumper’ electric system, an illegal usage of somebody’s paid electric privilege.

B.  Ecological People of Brgy. Salcedo II used the distance as drying area for washed clothes— by extending ropes between houses and/or tying around the trees. Also a good housing plot for domestic animals like cats or dogs.

C. Sectoral

1.    Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program or so called 4Ps, composed of underprivileged families who received an allowance from the Government in support for their lacking— is included within the boundaries of said location.

2. Youth and children— was believed to be dominant population in this community. Usually they attend worship service by Faith Center Imus (held inside where this child has been captured) on weekends, specifically Saturdays.

D. Civil Society 

The obvious social issues her are, first, the trash. Since it is a garbage plot, people of Brgy. Salcedo II are living with it. Their lifetime is also only the beginning decomposing stage of garbage beneath them.

Second, as I said before the ‘jumper’ system, is also a social issue not actually here but in other poor urban communities. So the legal owner of the electric bill did not pay on time, automatically they will suffer from brownout.

Last, according to my mates, they were told that ‘chismis’ or gossip also happening here, and it an issue because spreading rumor is spreading issues itself.

STRUCTURE: Institutional

A. Barangay Hall of Salcedo II is located outside the community we gathered to held an outreach program. It serves as a center for complaints and people feedback; composed of Barangay Officials.

B. Outreach Noveleta by Faith Center Imus is an institution for worship service and it serves a religious place found inside the community we went for gift giving; as it fills the spiritual gap in the souls of people of the community.

Definition of Community

Geographical Location: Noveleta, Cavite, Philippines

Type of Community:

a.    Small

b.    Urban

c.    Local

d.    Physical

e.    Place, Circumstance

Perspective:

a.    Social Science

The community we visited is unified because of the circumstances and the place they share with one another.

b.    Ecological

The community we visited is considered as a community because they are sharing and interacting in the same environment.

c.    Sectoral

The community we visited is a community because there are sectors that have distinct roles and function in the community.

d.    Civil Society

The community we visited is a community because it has nongovernmental organizations like the Faith Center Imus that functions well to help and support the community. The people from FCI propagates Christianity to the area which gives a guide to the people about living life and giving them hope through the words of Christ.

Structure: Aesthetic Values

Just like in any other community, although not as rich as them, the community we visited runs just like a normal community. The children in the area know and play with one another and the citizens interact with their neighbors sharing stories and helping one another. People living in the area although having low-budget still celebrates Christmas, they are even decorating their houses. They also do lottery and they open businesses that will be beneficial for everyone like sari-sari stores, ukay-ukay and computer shops.

Oplan DelPAn

           Since our respondents only represent students from Grade 10 to Grade 12, the valid data could be limited. We suggest that our Guidance office could lend a hand more to other students of Del Pilar Academy. In addition, the Guidance office could also conduct more activities for students to gain acknowledgement and important role in the school grounds.

           For example, a leadership seminar that includes Junior High school as well. Also the Guidance office could also conduct feedback analysis to see their performance throughout the year and evaluate the effectiveness of their counseling process.

           After all this surveying process, we have found out that Guidance office needed a licensed counselor since some cases may not come handy; so a licensed counselor could properly handle every situation given.

           This will surely guarantee the counseling process is useful enough to perpetuate the methods applied to the counselee will go well.

           To make it more specific, we propose a gift-giving ceremony, like Wishmas tree happened last academic year. This proposal concern that most of the student who wish something affordable and can be bought by another – which then received by the one who requested it.

           To feel compassion and love, sharing will do.

           Moreover, we also suggest that our Guidance office could find a personality or characteristic test that defines a student using cartoon character. For example: Spongebob, a character who is willing to give someone happiness and enthusiasm.

We conducted a kind of hidden camera for our guidance counselors which will test their ability.

Upon finishing the test, we personally listed some suggestions and recommendations that are based from our experience during an encounter with one of them.

One of the recommendation that we listed is a more confined room where the counselor and counselee can interact without hesitation. Using this room, the session would be more private.

Three Steps [to the Guidance Office] to Relieve Stress

Suggestion: As a way to bring the Grade 10, 11, and 12 students (the respondents) closer to the guidance counselors, we recommend the guidance office to produce a program that is designed to help reduce the stress that the students acquire from schoolwork. While brainstorming for a project, we came upon the Ateneo de Manila University’s Guidance Office’s program on Twitter. It was intended to be of help to all the students in generally, any problem.

Recommendation: For our project plan, however, we redesigned it to fit the needs of the students while still gaining inspiration from what we found.

           We recommend starting a program for the whole school year wherein once a month, the guidance office may incorporate three different activities in a definite schedule.

           For example, for the first Friday of the month, students may visit the guidance office for ‘self-efficacy modules’ or #KayaMoYan! On this day, students who are looking for motivation may ask for help from the guidance office. In turn, they may provide materials that boost the students’ morale, inspiring them, and helping them reflect on their capabilities and goals.

           On the third Friday of the month, students who are starting to feel stressed may visit the guidance office in search for a quiet haven to release tension from schoolwork. The guidance office may provide a space on that day for these students to relax through art, while they help ease the stress with simple talks. This activity may be nicknamed “You’re doing fine [art]!”.

           Last but definitely not the least, we came up with – as cliché as it may sound – #PETherapy: on the last Friday of the month, the guidance office may bring a pet. Not every student has a pet at home, so not everyone knows how calming it is to stroke a cat’s fur, or to play with a dog. Students may come to their office to interact with the day’s pet, along with the guidance counselor. Interaction with pets have been scientifically proven to help ease human stress; doubling it with releasing worries to and asking for advice from a counselor, while being with a furry friend, might help the student to ease up more easily.

           This project, called “ReLIVE: Here to help relieve your stress”, aims to answer to the respondents’ top problem and bring them closer to the guidance counselors – before they are able to acquire their counseling needs, they need the little push to approach the counselors first
