    Depression is prevalent in the general population. Because of this, mental health has become a more important aspect of overall well-being. The focus on mental health has helped bridge gaps in medical practice. In terms of patient care, it is important to understand that the body is composed of multiple subsystems that are integrated into one large physiological system. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a thorough understanding of how strong the mind-body connection is, by taking into account both mental and physical health within the realm of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). PNI is the scientific study that bridges psychology to the physiology of the nervous and immune systems. This thesis works to examine the following question: To what extent does stress and depression affect the homeostatic functioning of the nervous and immune systems? The findings suggest that there is a strong, intimate relationship between the mind and the body

    Stories that tackle controversies about the country often capture people\u27s attention, and corruption is unquestionable one of those. It is needless to say that in the Philippines, corruption is really rampant and it even comes in many forms. One of which is police corruption, which is more often than not given lesser attention compared to the kind of corruption happening in the national government. Bilanggo tells the story of a young police officer who is held captive by the rotten system as he attempts to stay the righteous person that he is. He aspires to be the bearer of truth and justice, just as how every policeman should be. However, everything starts to change once he realizes the truth about the system he is working for. This feature also revolves around the concept that the system is more powerful than the individual

    Damage by a thousand clicks: A multimedia package

    No full text
    Damage by a Thousand Clicks is a multimedia package on cyber sexual harassment. Three young Filipinas — Leesa, Thalia, and Ysabel (names have been changed) tell their stories of surviving cyber-sexual harassment. Moving past taboos, they recount their experiences in pursuit of catharsis and in hopes of shedding more light on the issue. The project aims to empower these survivors and bring more gravity to the issue. By uplifting their stories, the project validates their narratives and their emotions, sending a resounding message: we believe you. In 2020 alone, there were 130 media-sourced reports of cyber-sexual harassment in the Philippines, a 165% increase from the highest record in 2015 at 45 cases (Foundation for Media Alternatives.) Women first encounter online harassment between the ages 12 to 20, with 7 out of 10 Filipino girls having experienced cyber-sexual harassment (Plan International.) Beyond the statistics are those that have gone unreported and unnoticed: society has desensitized women to oblivion where they don’t recognize sexual harassment, and when they do, they are disgraced for it. The project utilized the elements of creative non-fiction and multimedia production to humanize the stories of survivors and report the broader context of the problem. By taking on singular testimonies of typical hard-news subjects using a human angle, the audience gets to see —and hopefully empathize— how deeply harassment affects an individual, as well as recognize harassment being played out. Apart from the three survivors, the multimedia package also features three experts (a social worker, a psychologist, and a lawyer), offering multiple perspectives on cyber-sexual harassment. We then created three narratives based on the survivors\u27 stories, and produced three informative videos. The project is publicly available at https://www.1000clicks.online
