Community Health Sustainability
• The Department of Health (DOH) has been a pillar of community well-being
since its reorganization through Executive Order 94 of 1947. The agency has
helped milions across the country gain access to medicine as well as services
of medical experts. The DOH was once again reorganized in the 1950s
through E.0. 288, after recognizing the need to decentralize to effectively
reach out to more stakeholders.
• The DOH acts as the central body that mobilizes local government end and
communities in creating solutions to our current health problems. Mainly,
the souton, that the DOH is pursuing are rooted from the community agenda
and are issue spectic.on the problems at hand. Below are two DOH projects
to help you fully apprectate the depth of reach that the agency has done in
your own communities in recent years.
Botika ng Barangay
The Botika ng Barangay (BB) project has been one of the
most ubiquitous among the projects being implemented by
the DOH due to its vast impact on every Filipino that is in
need of affordable medicines. BBs sell only generic medicines
that come directly from suppliers. The public can avail of
these medicines through their local government units or local
health offices.
As manifested in the two DOH projects, problems nowadays
do not necessarily need an overly complicated solution. What
our current social problems need rather are simple, viable,
and readily accessible solutions that have wide-scale impact
across a longer time frame. The community and its leadership
should exemplify the models by adjusting their programs to
be specific, time-bound, and relevant. The projects can be
sustained once these requirements are met and the
community is no longer detached from its goals.
Community Environmental Sustainability
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) was formally formed by E.O. 131 in 1987 under its
former name, the Department of Environment, Energy
and Natural Resources (DEENR). Later after its
reorganization under E.O. 192, it was renamed to its
current name with the transfer of energy governance to
the Office of the President. The DENR retains its mandate
as follows:
It is clear that the mandate ofthe DENR focuses on the
management and sustainability, of our natural resources. It also has
the power to formulate policies and programs for the environment.
Its scope includes all aspects of natural resources that the state
ovny and has the authority to issue licenses and certificates to
private industries that meet the requirements for environmental
safety and sustainability. The DENR has positioned itsely as a
community partner in enhancing community safety during times of
calamities. Also in the past years, it has focused on mechanisms for
risk and damage prevention by partnering with the LGUs in most of
its projects.
Geohazard Mapping and Assessment Program
The main goal of this program is to map the vulnerabilities of
communities in times of disasters and foreseeable calamities
that can endanger lives and properties. To date, the program
has identified the following regions of concern after completing
the assessment of 1,634 cities and municipalities all over the
Philippines.
