Ngayong araw, nilulunsad namin ang #AngatBayanihan — ito ang ating VOLUNTEER PROGRAM sa Angat Buhay kung saan puwede kayong mag-ambag ng oras, talento, o kahit anong tulong para sa agarang pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayan. Dito, puwede kang magsagawa ng iba’t ibang klase ng paglapit at pagtulong sa kapwa, lalo na para doon sa mga nakilala natin sa ating mga pag-iikot sa iba’t ibang parte ng Pilipinas. Ilang halimbawa ng pagbabayanihan sa pamamagitan ng Angat Buhay ang agarang pagkilos ng volunteer groups sa Abra at Ilocos provinces na tumugon sa pangangailangan ng mga nasalanta ng lindol. Bago pa man iyan, nagsagawa rin ng relief operations ang ating magigiting na volunteers para sa apektado ng Banaue landslides. Nariyan din ang mga kabataan sa Maynila na magsasagawa ng kanilang medical mission sa komunidad.

LOS BAÑOS, Laguna, Oct 18 (PIA) – Experts at the University of the Philippines - Los Baños (UPLB) are promoting art as a way to relax and de-stress during this pandemic.
In an online lecture hosted by UPLB’s Learning Resource Center, Visayas State University (VSU) Department of Development Communication faculty member June Nonie Sales has suggested art as a form of therapy in managing behaviors, reducing stress and anxiety, and increasing self-esteem.
More than 800 participants registered for the webinar. During the onset of the pandemic in March, students and workers have been airing their concerns on the added stress brought about by the distance learning and work from home setups.
According to Sales, art related activities help individuals express their feelings and subconscious thoughts. In fact, this method has provided him a source of inspiration and stress relief when he was pursuing his PhD Development Communication degree.
It is a form of meditating that uses the coordination of one’s senses that can bring them to a meditative state.
He also encourages his students to find creative hobbies as a healthy way to de-stress.
The American Journal of Public Health noted that artistic engagement has significant health benefits, as it decreases anxiety, stress, and mood disturbance.
Another study published in Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association found that regardless of the person’s talent, 45 minutes of creative activity significantly reduces stress in the body. (PB)
