AS THE temperature continues to soar with the onset of the dry hot season, the Department of Health Central Visayas (DOH 7) urged the public to heed heat index reports released by state weather bureau, Pagasa.Shelbay Blanco, DOH 7 medical officer, emphasized the importance of taking the heat index seriously as it provides crucial information on the level of discomfort caused by combined heat and humidity.The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather would feel to the human body.Blanco, during a news forum at the Philippines News Agency Central Visayas on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, said the heat index reflects the body’s response to prevailing weather conditions. As temperatures and humidity rise, the body’s ability to cool down decreases, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses.Blanco said heat indices pose health hazards, especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly, children, and those with medical conditions.Extended exposure to high temperatures can lead to dehydration, heat cramps, and even life-threatening heatstrokes.He said when the heat index ranges from 27 to 32 degrees Celsius, this falls under the caution category. This indicates that prolonged exposure makes fatigue possible, and continued activity may lead to heat cramps.Between 32 to 41 degrees Celsius, the heat index is classified under the category of extreme caution suggesting that heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result to a heatstroke.The heat index is considered dangerous when it reaches the range of 41 to 54 degrees Celsius.At this level, heat cramps and exhaustion are highly likely, and heat stroke becomes probable with continued activity.Finally, exceeding 54 degrees Celsius marks extreme danger, indicating that stroke is imminent.In an interview, Alfredo Quiblat Jr., head of Pagasa’s Visayas Station in Mactan Island, said Wednesday’s heat index was at 35 degrees Celsius. Quiblat said Pagasa expects the temperature to rise on Thursday and Friday at 36 degrees Celsius. Last Tuesday, the heat index was recorded at 33 degrees Celsius.El NiñoQuiblat said Pagasa expects the temperature to further rise in the coming weeks and Cebu’s heat index will shoot up to 45 to 47 degrees Celsius, particularly in May, when the strongest effects of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon will be felt.“Without El Niño, the heat index could rise to 45 degrees Celsius, so during El Niño it could go higher,” he said.Pagasa said El Niño raises sea-surface temperatures, impacting global weather patterns by shifting precipitation, temperature and atmospheric circulation, ultimately causing reduced rainfall.Decreased rainfall in provinces can devastate agriculture, resulting in crop failures and economic losses due to water scarcity for irrigation.Meanwhile, health experts underscore the importance of taking precautions during high heat index periods.Individuals are advised to keep themselves hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and to avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages as they contribute to dehydration.Additionally, they should seek out cool spaces, especially during the hottest hours, whether it’s through air-conditioning or fans. If neither option is available, individuals should take cool showers to lower their body temperature.Wearing lightweight, loose-fitting clothing in light colors to deflect heat and avoid dark colors and heavy fabrics that can trap heat is also encouraged.To minimize heat exposure, individuals should limit outdoor activities, particularly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and take breaks in the shade or indoors when needed. / KJF Online Betting Philippines Philippines AS MORE young women in the region are entering motherhood at an early age, the Commission on Population and Development (CPD) is urging local government units to establish their own local adolescents and teen centers as an intervention to teenage pregnancy.Maria Lourdes Garillos, CPD population program officer, said this initiative aims to address the pressing issue of teenage pregnancies and provide necessary support and interventions to vulnerable adolescents.CPD is the agency formerly known as Popcom.Earlier, a SunStar report revealed there were a total of 11,686 cases of teenage pregnancies across seven highly urbanized cities and provinces in Central Visayas in 2022, marking a 7.4 percent increase from the 10,881 recorded cases in 2021. In Central Visayas, there were 11,445 cases of early pregnancy among women aged 15 to 19 years old, and 241 cases among those under 15 years old. In 2021, there were 10,717 cases and 164 cases in these categories, respectively.In 2022, Cebu Province had the most teenage pregnancy cases in the region, with 5,106 cases. Negros Oriental followed with 2,364 cases, Bohol with 1,625 cases, and Cebu City with 1,504 cases. Lapu-Lapu City had 586 teenage pregnancies, Mandaue City had 475 cases, and Siguijor had 116 cases.Garillos said in an interview last Feb. 20, this trend emphasizes the immediate necessity for proactive measures to empower and educate adolescents on reproductive health and family planning.She said establishing local adolescents and teen centers is crucial for mitigating the factors contributing to teenage pregnancy.The centers will provide adolescents with comprehensive sexuality education, counseling services, and reproductive health information in safe spaces.Garillo added that government agencies, community organizations, and stakeholders must collaborate to empower adolescents with the necessary knowledge and resources for making informed decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health.She emphasized that establishing these adolescents and teen centers in localities will ensure that youth, including those not attending school, receive proper sex education.“It needs to involve not just students but also local government units within communities,” she said. She added that these topics should also be addressed at home, emphasizing the importance of parents being aware of them to facilitate such discussions.Garillos linked the increase in teenage pregnancies to restricted access to health and family planning services, exacerbated by Covid-19 lockdowns. She added that the pandemic forced program shifts online, hindering mobility. Additionally, Garillos echoed concerns about gender-based violence, including child sexual abuse and rape, as underlying causes of early pregnancies.Last Feb. 7, Cebu City Councilor Jose Lorenzo Abellanosa proposed a resolution in the council, urging the City Government to establish a teenage counseling center or help desk to serve as a referral facility for teenage mothers and their babies.In his proposal, Abellanosa said CPD flagged two barangays in Cebu City as “areas of concern” due to their high teenage pregnancy rates.Last July, SunStar Cebu reported that barangays Mambaling and Inayawan in the south district of Cebu City recorded the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Central Visayas, logging at least 85 cases in each barangay in 2022. / KJF

TWELVE more local government units have ditched full face-to-face classes, bringing to 22 the total number of local government units in Cebu that have adopted changes and implemented the alternative delivery mode of learning as sweltering heat continues to grip Cebu due to the high heat index.Last Wednesday, April 3, 2024, SunStar Cebu already reported 10 local government units (LGUs) that suspended their face-to-face classes: Lapu-Lapu City, Liloan, Consolacion, the City of Naga, Talisay City, Toledo City, San Fernando, Ronda, Minglanilla and Cordova. However, more municipalities have followed suit in suspending face-to-face classes and encouraging a shift to the online or modular mode of learning. As of 4:20 p.m. Thursday, these were the municipalities and the periods of suspension:- Poro (April 4-5, public and private schools, all levels);- Asturias (April 4, 1 p.m. - April 12, all public schools);- Badian (April 4-19, public schools, pre-elementary to senior high);- Tuburan (April 4-5, public and private schools, elementary and secondary levels);- Tabogon (April 4-6, public and private schools, all levels);- Balamban (April 4 12 noon – until further notice, public schools, pre-school to senior high);- Sibonga (April 4-12, all public schools);- Medellin (April 4-12, public and private schools, pre-school to senior high);- Compostela (April 5-12, public and private schools, pre-school to senior high);-San Remigio (April 5, public schools, elementary and secondary levels);- Tabuelan (April 4-5, public schools, all levels)These LGUs will implement modular learning where learners have self-learning modules, either in print or digital format, that is usually implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Mandaue City is the lone LGU that is implementing a blended learning approach.In Cebu City, Mayor Michael Rama announced Thursday that he would issue an executive order moving the time of classes in school to 6 to 11 a.m. only.According to the Cebu City Public Information Office, Rama said he would leave the school heads in the city to decide on the suspension of face-to-face classes due to the heat as he had already issued Executive Order 1 in August 2022, authorizing them to declare class suspensions amid calamities and weather disturbances.Cebu Normal University in Cebu City announced that classes for the Integrated Laboratory School, college and graduate school including in its external campuses in Balamban and Medellin towns would use the online modality on April 4-12.Blended learningMayor Jonas Cortes issued Executive Order 18 on Wednesday in response to the rising heat index, which has been disrupting the conducive learning environment for students attending face-to-face classes.They will adopt blended learning in public schools from daycare, and kindergarten to senior high school starting Thursday, April 4, until the end of the month.Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face teaching with online instruction. This means that physical classes will continue with adjustments for student safety and comfort during the dry hot season. “It was recommended that a shift from full face-to-face classes to a blended learning mode of partial face-to-face and modular mode would be the best course of action in all public schools in Mandaue City as a precautionary action to the increasing heat index,” Cortes said.The mayor said schools will categorize and divide classes into two groups or sets of students to ensure proper ventilation, spacing, and prevent overcrowding, which may worsen the effects of high temperatures.Set A learners will attend face-to-face classes from 6 to 11 a.m. on Monday and Wednesday, while Set B learners will do the same but on Tuesday and Thursday, with the modular mode to be used thereafter. Meanwhile, Friday will be allotted to students who will need intervention or further help from the teacher.The City added that blended learning will also be applied to daycare students.SuspensionDirector Salustiano Jimenez of the Department of Education Central Visayas (DepEd 7) told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday that these LGUs possess the authority to suspend face-to-face classes similar to the procedures during typhoons and other calamities. Additionally, aside from local chief executives, Jimenez said in a prior interview that both public and private school administrators also have discretion and authorization to transition to modular classes.According to DepEd Order 37 of 2022, such decisions are permitted “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to extremely high temperatures.”Heat indexBased on the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration’s (Pagasa) heat index database, Cebu will reach 37 degrees Celsius on Thursday and a higher 38 degrees Celsius on Friday, April 5.Both figures fall under Pagasa’s extreme caution category, meaning heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result in a heatstroke.SunStar Cebu previously reported that the heat index in Cebu could potentially reach a “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months, leading to heat cramps, exhaustion and potentially heatstroke with prolonged outdoor exposure. Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of Pagasa Visayas attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer. He said historical data from Pagasa indicates Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May. On May 31, 2010, during the El Niño phenomenon, the province recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, coinciding with its highest heat index in history of 49 degrees Celsius.

She added that these topics should also be addressed at home, emphasizing the importance of parents being aware of them to facilitate such discussions.Garillos linked the increase in teenage pregnancies to restricted access to health and family planning services, exacerbated by Covid-19 lockdowns. She added that the pandemic forced program shifts online, hindering mobility. Additionally, Garillos echoed concerns about gender-based violence, including child sexual abuse and rape, as underlying causes of early pregnancies.Last Feb. 7, Cebu City Councilor Jose Lorenzo Abellanosa proposed a resolution in the council, urging the City Government to establish a teenage counseling center or help desk to serve as a referral facility for teenage mothers and their babies.In his proposal, Abellanosa said CPD flagged two barangays in Cebu City as “areas of concern” due to their high teenage pregnancy rates.Last July, SunStar Cebu reported that barangays Mambaling and Inayawan in the south district of Cebu City recorded the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Central Visayas, logging at least 85 cases in each barangay in 2022. / KJF licensed online casinos TWELVE more local government units have ditched full face-to-face classes, bringing to 22 the total number of local government units in Cebu that have adopted changes and implemented the alternative delivery mode of learning as sweltering heat continues to grip Cebu due to the high heat index.Last Wednesday, April 3, 2024, SunStar Cebu already reported 10 local government units (LGUs) that suspended their face-to-face classes: Lapu-Lapu City, Liloan, Consolacion, the City of Naga, Talisay City, Toledo City, San Fernando, Ronda, Minglanilla and Cordova. However, more municipalities have followed suit in suspending face-to-face classes and encouraging a shift to the online or modular mode of learning. As of 4:20 p.m. Thursday, these were the municipalities and the periods of suspension:- Poro (April 4-5, public and private schools, all levels);- Asturias (April 4, 1 p.m. - April 12, all public schools);- Badian (April 4-19, public schools, pre-elementary to senior high);- Tuburan (April 4-5, public and private schools, elementary and secondary levels);- Tabogon (April 4-6, public and private schools, all levels);- Balamban (April 4 12 noon – until further notice, public schools, pre-school to senior high);- Sibonga (April 4-12, all public schools);- Medellin (April 4-12, public and private schools, pre-school to senior high);- Compostela (April 5-12, public and private schools, pre-school to senior high);-San Remigio (April 5, public schools, elementary and secondary levels);- Tabuelan (April 4-5, public schools, all levels)These LGUs will implement modular learning where learners have self-learning modules, either in print or digital format, that is usually implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Mandaue City is the lone LGU that is implementing a blended learning approach.In Cebu City, Mayor Michael Rama announced Thursday that he would issue an executive order moving the time of classes in school to 6 to 11 a.m. only.According to the Cebu City Public Information Office, Rama said he would leave the school heads in the city to decide on the suspension of face-to-face classes due to the heat as he had already issued Executive Order 1 in August 2022, authorizing them to declare class suspensions amid calamities and weather disturbances.Cebu Normal University in Cebu City announced that classes for the Integrated Laboratory School, college and graduate school including in its external campuses in Balamban and Medellin towns would use the online modality on April 4-12.Blended learningMayor Jonas Cortes issued Executive Order 18 on Wednesday in response to the rising heat index, which has been disrupting the conducive learning environment for students attending face-to-face classes.They will adopt blended learning in public schools from daycare, and kindergarten to senior high school starting Thursday, April 4, until the end of the month.Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face teaching with online instruction. This means that physical classes will continue with adjustments for student safety and comfort during the dry hot season. “It was recommended that a shift from full face-to-face classes to a blended learning mode of partial face-to-face and modular mode would be the best course of action in all public schools in Mandaue City as a precautionary action to the increasing heat index,” Cortes said.The mayor said schools will categorize and divide classes into two groups or sets of students to ensure proper ventilation, spacing, and prevent overcrowding, which may worsen the effects of high temperatures.Set A learners will attend face-to-face classes from 6 to 11 a.m. on Monday and Wednesday, while Set B learners will do the same but on Tuesday and Thursday, with the modular mode to be used thereafter. Meanwhile, Friday will be allotted to students who will need intervention or further help from the teacher.The City added that blended learning will also be applied to daycare students.SuspensionDirector Salustiano Jimenez of the Department of Education Central Visayas (DepEd 7) told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday that these LGUs possess the authority to suspend face-to-face classes similar to the procedures during typhoons and other calamities. Additionally, aside from local chief executives, Jimenez said in a prior interview that both public and private school administrators also have discretion and authorization to transition to modular classes.According to DepEd Order 37 of 2022, such decisions are permitted “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to extremely high temperatures.”Heat indexBased on the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration’s (Pagasa) heat index database, Cebu will reach 37 degrees Celsius on Thursday and a higher 38 degrees Celsius on Friday, April 5.Both figures fall under Pagasa’s extreme caution category, meaning heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result in a heatstroke.SunStar Cebu previously reported that the heat index in Cebu could potentially reach a “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months, leading to heat cramps, exhaustion and potentially heatstroke with prolonged outdoor exposure. Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of Pagasa Visayas attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer. He said historical data from Pagasa indicates Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May. On May 31, 2010, during the El Niño phenomenon, the province recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, coinciding with its highest heat index in history of 49 degrees Celsius.
