Civic Welfare Training Service Program 2
Introduction
The Civic Welfare Training Service Program (CWTSP) is a program component of the
National Service Training Program (NSTP) under the Republic Act 9163 known as the National
Service Training Program Act of 2001 which refers to "programs of activities contributory to the
general welfare and betterment of life for the members of the community or the enhancement of
its facilities, especially those devoted to improving health, education, environment,
entrepreneurship, safety, recreation and moral of the citizenry (Section 3, d)."
The Civic Welfare Training Service Program II (CWTSP II) is a second semester course which
consists of projects and activities designed to encourage the students to contribute in the
improvement of the general welfare and the quality of life for the local community and its various
institutional components, more particularly in terms of "improving health, education, environment,
entrepreneurship, safety, recreation and moral of the citizenry (Section 3, d.)." It includes
lectures, community immersions/exposures and civic community project/s implementation. The
students are given the opportunity to do actual civic/community service under the supervision of
the teacher- facilitator. Through the different projects planned, implemented and evaluated by the
students themselves, they are expected to become civic/community minded and socially
responsible.
NIPSC Ajuy recognizes a fertile ground and a greater manpower for civic/community service
involvement in the CWTSP. It is therefore the goal of NIPSCian through the CWTSP to form the
students to become civic/community conscious, responsive and be involved in civic welfare
activities in the light of the Dominican spirituality towards the concretization and actualization of
NIPSC Ajuy's thrust of forming the students to become "builders and leaders of communities."

Concepts of Community
Introduction
A community is a social unit (a group of living things) with commonality such

as norms, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense of place situated
in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or neighbourhood) or in virtual space
through communication platforms. Durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical
ties also define a sense of community, important to their identity, practice, and roles in
social institutions such as family, home, work, government, society, or humanity at large. Although
communities are usually small relative to personal social ties, "community" may also refer to large
group affiliations such as national communities, international communities, and virtual
communities.
The English-language word "community" derives from the Old French comuneté (currently
"Communauté"), which comes from the Latin communitas "community", "public spirit" (from
Latin communis, "common").
Human communities may have intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, and risks in
common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the module, the learners must have:

1. Understood the concept of community
2. Understood the concept of migration
Discussion
There are many ways to think about community. We will explore four of the most relevant, each
of which provides different insights into the process of community engagement.
Systems Perspective
From a systems perspective, a community is similar to a living creature, comprising different
parts that represent specialized functions, activities, or interests, each operating within specific
boundaries to meet community needs. For example, schools focus on education, the transportation
sector focuses on moving people and products, economic entities focus on enterprise and
employment, faith organizations focus on the spiritual and physical well-being of people, and
3
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

health care agencies focus on the prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries (Henry, 2011).
For the community to function well, each part has to effectively carry out its role in relation to the
whole organism. A healthy community has well-connected, interdependent sectors that share
responsibility for recognizing and resolving problems and enhancing its well-being. Successfully
addressing a community’s complex problems requires integration, collaboration, and coordination
of resources from all parts (Thompson et al., 1990). From a systems perspective, then,
collaboration is a logical approach to health improvement.
Social Perspective
A community can also be defined by describing the social and political networks that link
individuals, community organizations, and leaders. Understanding these networks is critical to
planning efforts in engagement. For example, tracing social ties among individuals may help
engagement leaders to identify a community’s leadership, understand its behavior patterns,
identify its high-risk groups, and strengthen its networks (Minkler et al., 1997).
Virtual Perspective
Some communities map onto geographically defined areas, but today, individuals rely more
and more on computer-mediated communications to access information, meet people, and make
decisions that affect their lives (Kozinets, 2002). Examples of computer-mediated forms of
communication include email, instant or text messaging, e-chat rooms, and social networking sites
such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter (Flavian et al., 2005). Social groups or groups with a
common interest that interact in an organized fashion on the Internet are considered “virtual
communities” (Rheingold, 2000; Ridings et al., 2002). Without question, these virtual communities
are potential partners for community-engaged health promotion and research.
Individual Perspective
Individuals have their own sense of community membership that is beyond the definitions of
community applied by researchers and engagement leaders. Moreover, they may have a sense of
belonging to more than one community. In addition, their sense of membership can change over
time and may affect their participation in community activities (Minkler et al., 2004).
The philosopher and psychologist William James shed light on this issue in his writings. James
thought it important to consider two perspectives on identity: the “I,” or how a person thinks about
himself or herself, and the “me,” or how others see and think about that person. Sometimes these
two views agree and result in a shared sense of an identity, but other times they do not. People
should not make assumptions about identity based on appearance, language, or cultural origin; nor
should they make assumptions about an individual’s perspective based on his or her identity
(James, 1890). Today, the multiple communities that might be relevant for any individual —
including families, workplace, and social, religious, and political associations — suggest that
individuals are thinking about themselves in more complex ways than was the norm in years past.
The eligibility criteria that scientists, policy makers, and others develop for social programs and
research projects reflect one way that people perceive a group of proposed participants, but how
much those criteria reflect the participants’ actual view of themselves is uncertain. Practitioners of
community engagement need to learn how individuals understand their identity and connections,
enter into relationships, and form communities.

AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

According to Arlien Johnson, a noted community development specialist, a community is a

collective of people with similar interests and goals whether living in the same geographic locality
or not.
A COMMUNITY is a place where people: Work, Play and Live
Types of Community
Three types of communities are:
 Urban - a large community with many people and large buildings, a city
 Suburb - a medium-sized community near a large city, houses are close together,
you may see parks and malls
 Rural - a community where houses are far apart, there are a smaller number of
people, and you may see farms and forests

Rural Culture Urban Culture

• Formal belief system • Urban culture is described to be usually
• Animistic belief as large, with people engaged in varied
• Fiestas occupations
Types of community by the purpose that brings them together.

1. Interest. Communities of people who share the same interest or passion.
2. Action. Communities of people trying to bring about change.
3. Place. Communities of people brought together by geographic boundaries.
4. Practice. Communities of people in the same profession or undertake the same activities.
5. Circumstance. Communities of people brought together by external events/situations.
A Community can be Geographical and Functional

Geographical community is defined in the purview of group of persons living in the same
geographical location like a certain village, town, district, area or territory.
Functional community is defined as the aggregate of people though not necessarily based
on living in the same geographical location, is bounded by a common end such as fighting for the
same cause, having the same interests and goals.
Elements of a Community
The important elements are the following:
1. Demographics – includes population distribution and density

2. History – events of the past that contributed to the development of the community
3. Culture – ways of living of the people
4. Economy – income level and occupation of people
5. Structures – physical, political and social structures in the community
Rural-Urban Migration
Rural-urban migration is both a socioeconomic phenomenon and a spatial process involving
the movement of people from rural areas into cities, either permanently or semipermanently.
At present, it occurs mainly in developing countries as they undergo rapid urbanization. Job
opportunities created by industrialization attract the surplus rural labor to the cities to seek higher
salaries through employment in the industrial sector.
Rural-urban migration is widely considered an inevitable component of the development process,
though it has a broad range of consequences and implications
(https://www.slideshare.net/davidgeo3eso/rural-urban-migration-40483719).
PUSH FACTORS
Push factor is something that can force or encourage people to move away from an area.
They are the bad conditions that drive people out of their homes.
6
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

Push factors may also include famine (as in Ethiopia in the 1980s), drought, flooding (as in
Bangladesh, were people are becoming climate change refugees and having to move to Dhaka),
lack of employment opportunities, population growth and over population, and civil war (as in
Darfur at the moment).
PULL FACTORS
• Pull factors may also include the ff.:
- chance of a better job
- better access to education and services
- higher standard of living
• Pull factor encourages people to move to an area. They are the good conditions that attract
people to come to live in that area.
• These factors have contributed to millions of people in LEDCs moving to cities in LEDCs,
creating mass URBANIZATION.
Why Migration happen in a community?

• Migration is often a rational and dynamic effort to seek new opportunities in life
• Movement is economically motivated due to lack of employment, livelihood and economic
opportunities in their locality
7
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

• Education as a critical factor in migration decision (mismatch with educational attainment

and available economic activities in the area of origin pushes migrants to the cities)
• Perceived availability of better income and opportunities in the city (i.e. as illustrated in
media or conveyed by people who have been in the city)
• Migration decisions are facilitated by existing social support and network in the destination
area
• Individuals decide to move when they have relatives or friends in the area of
destination
• Successful migrants then invite and support their family or friends to the city
• Political factors
• Population transfer agreement between LGUs (e.g. relocation or human settlement
sites some institutional conditions)
• Some LGUs prefer influx of migrants to their cities to increase market and labor force
for their economic activities
Other expressed reasons for migration

• Some people moved because of marital arrangements
• Internally displaced due to environmental disasters (e.g. typhoon Yolanda) and armed
conflicts
• Older migrants return to the rural area due to:
• Failure of achieving migration objectives and expectations
• High cost of living in the city
• Retirement

The Community Service
Introduction
Community service is unpaid work performed by a person or group of people for the benefit
and betterment of their community without any form of compensation. Community service can be
distinct from volunteering, since it is not always performed on a voluntary basis and may be
compulsory per situation.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Understood the concept of community organizing, service and volunteerism.
2. Identified values needed to confront situations that appear hopeless.
Discussion
Part I. Understanding Community Organizing
Defining Community Organizing
Community Organizing (CO), as commonly used has already joined the “wagon of
over-used” words both in the academic and non-academic circles. Every agency or
organization has its own interpretation of things around its own interpretation of things
around it and therefore it must be no surprise that CO, like other terms, has different
definitions depending on who, where and for what. It is popularly used among development
practitioners, social workers, health workers, agriculturists, forest workers, teacher and even
students.
There are those who use CO to promote environmental protection while there are
those who use environmental protection promotes community organizing. Some say that CO
is building organizations, other say it is just one of the aims of CO. some practitioners say
that tantamount to doing community development.
Community organizing is not just physically gathering and organizing people so that
they can collectively participate in solving problems. CO is more a process of community-
based decision-making involving the intervention of a change agent particularly regarding
the exploitation of community-based resources. As Paulo Freire noted in his participatory
approach research, “Man is being who exist in and with the world. To exist is thus a mode of
life which is proper to the being who is capable of producing, of deciding, of creating and
communicating himself.”
Let us now look at several definitions of community organizing:
12
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

It is the process of bringing about and maintaining adjustment between the social
welfare needs and resources in a geographical area or special field of service.
This means that a community needs to be aware that their needs can be responded by
what the community’s physical boundaries. Adjustment of these needs with the available
resources will require:
a) Identifying what resources are exploitable;

b) Planning on how to tap, use and re-use them;
c) Employing environmentally safe appropriate technology; and
d) Promoting collective human action in the resource management/maintenance.
That is, in the essence, organizing the people for a common purpose/goal.
According to the Philippines Business for Social Progress (PBSP), “CO is a systematic,
Planned and liberating change process of transforming a complacent, deprived
malfunctioning community into conscious, empowered, self-reliant and just humane entity
and institution”. This means, the community as a social unit, needs to learn so that they
become empowered to address problems confronting them.
CO is a process forged along people’s empowerment and the eventual formation of a

self-reliant organization that will facilitate development in a sustainable manner. Apart from
the above definitions, I would like to re-visit the concern that has been expressed for
sometime now on the misuse and abuse of the concept of CO.
The Concept of Community Organizing
1. Of Means and Ends (Process and Result)
As a process, CO is a series of interrelated activities with the aim of unifying the people into
an organization process, characterized by people’s participation in all aspect or stages of the
organizing process. CO is a complex process that goes beyond the mere setting up of a formal
organization. It is a process which ultimately influences the patterns of relationships in the
community through the development and maintenance of a normative system. Such norms are
expected to affect the values, belief, attitudes and aspiration of the people in the community.
As a radical approach in bringing development to the community. Being radical, CO employs

coercion, advocacy and even threat to uproot the causes of social injustice in the development of
the people. Although CO starts by addressing small and simple issues which the people can
immediately act on or solve, its main focus is to dig into the root cause of the problems.
As a result of the organizing process, CO refers to the resulting entity, which is the
legitimate and real organization of the people. It becomes the real manifestations of the people’s
collective wills to be able to participate, voice out and be heard and also to act and decide as
unified body (group). The resulting organization mirrors the people’s interests, sentiments and
aspiration.
13
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

Does the end always justify the means?
There is, without a flaw, the perennial question about the ethical considerations of the
irreverent attitude and the unconventional methods that effective COs have employed in their
practice. But Alinsky resorted thus:
Conscience is the virtue of observations and not of agent of action; in action, one does not always
enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent both with one’s individual conscience and good of
mankind; action is for mass salvation and not for individual’s personal salvation – particularly in
the midst of society’s innate hypocrisy, its contradictions and apparent failure of almost every
facet of our social and political life.
2. Of Power
By giving power to the people we bring about “the future secured in the people’s hands”.
Power is the basic element in the community organizing process. People’s power in CO is not based
on material wealth in status in society. A powerful people’s organization (PO) is, therefore, an
important means to find redress for their grievances and act against those conditions that appear
and dehumanize them.
People’s empowerment is making the people more assertive and advocative to face and fight
human rights violations and exploitations. It is a process involving the recognizing and building
upon innate capacity. It is not a program or activity but a process of enabling people, especially
the weak, the poor, the unorganized, the illiterate, the oppressed to learn to surmount their
powerlessness and to try to develop their God-given capacity to reach their in-born potential.
Becoming vocal, they may be guaranteed basic freedom, opportunities and self-governance at the
grassroots level.
3. Of Conflict (And Controversy)
In CO, dissatisfaction or discontent (discontentment) is viewed as a positive ingredient that

nourishes the enlightenment and development of a community. This is because it motivates people
to come together and discuss and determined to solve problems affecting them. CO sees
confrontation as a necessary and useful tool in solving social injustice.
Change is part of human life and conflict (or friction) indispensable in social change. To live
is to change. Change and conflict are fraternal twins in societal change. One functional aspect of
conflict is that it leads to a search for solutions. It is an instrumental for innovative change. It also
helps to release the latent socio-psychological frustration.
4. Of Praxis (Theory and Practice/Reflection and Action)
By a praxis here, it means that theory and practice o0f community organizing. In the day-
to-day community improvement or organizing work, it is difficult to identify or separate the theory
from the practice. Theory and practices should be so inter-woven and complementary, each testing
and strengthening the other. It also refers to reflection and action.
14
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

5. Of Conscientization (Critical Awakening)
Conscientization refers to the process in which men (humans) are not recipients, but as
knowing subjects, achieve deepening awareness both of the socio-cultural reality which shapes
their lives and their capacity to transform that reality (Paulo Freire; 1972).
Conscientization involves reflection and action occurring simultaneously in the process of

organizing wherein critical reflection becomes form of action.
Features of Conscientization:
1. It is people’s organized response because the system it contends (struggles with) is organized.
2. It mirrors and unmasks the different aspects (realities) of the system so that the people see
them for what they are.
3. It changes attempts by elites to petrify (solidify) the culture of poverty and galvanize
(electrifies) within people the spirit of critical awareness and mass protest. At the same time, it
promotes the spirit of cooperation, unity and sincerity among the people to fight against the
individualistic, competitive, exploitation and selfish characteristics of the elites.
Goals of Community Organizing
Community organizing aims at achieving the following broad goals:
1. People’s Empowerment
CO helps the community to become better equipped with appropriate skills, ethics to assert
and advocate for their rights, towards social equity, fairness and human dignity.
2. Building Organization
The organizing process brings into being relatively permanent structures that can better
serve the needs and aspirations of the community. A viable, self- reliant and grassroots-managed
organization (PO) is one of the aims of CO. through formal or non-formal set-ups or structures, the
community acquires the skills of community management.
3. Building Alliances
Community organizing aims to give the people, skills in intra and inter organizational
management and processes through group linkages and networking among the various groups in
the community.
4. Popular Democracy
Popular democracy entails such attributes as consensus-building in decision-making,

planning and participation in community projects. It gives rise to “one man one vote” system,
freedom of speech and freedom of religion, among others.
15
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

5. Social Transformation
CO seeks to change the life of a community and the whole society into a democratic,
nationalistic, self-reliant and self-governing entity. An entity to address the needs of individual
members as well as community-based concerns such as environmental degradation.
6. Development of Local Leaders
It aims to identify local leaders and equip them with the necessary skills to better serve their
people.
The Guiding Principles of Community Organizing
CO like other concepts, has set of principles to guide the practice. It is people’s organized
response because the system it contends (struggles with) is organized:
Go to the people.
Live among them.
Learn from them.
Plan with them.
Work with them.
Start with what they know.
Build on what they have.
Teach by showing.
Learn by doing.
Not by showcase, but a pattern.
Not odds and ends, but a system.
Not piecemeal, but an integrated approach.
Not to conform, but to transform.
Not relief, but release.
Go to the people and live among the people. Learn the culture of the people and try to
integrate into the culture.
Learn, plan and work with the people. The people are highly knowledgeable about the local
situation so the community organizer must avail of this opportunity.
Start from where the people are in their development. There must be a proportionate blend
between top-down and bottom-up technologies in order to tap the indigenous resources in the
community.
Teach by learning first from the people. The community organizer must realize that local or
indigenous knowledge is not inferior to Western or scientific knowledge. Respecting the people’s
knowledge will encourage them to learn other skills to complement what they already know.
16
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

Integrative and holistic approach. The community organizing must focus on the
interdependency and the interrelatedness of the factors needed to transform the situation of the
people for the better.
Cumulative and continuous. CO is not one time great even but grows gradually without
break until specific problems are addressed and phased-out.
Part II. Volunteerism: The Call to Service
Volunteerism
Volunteerism is a cross-cutting social phenomenon that involves all groups in society and all
aspects of human activity. Volunteer action directly contributes to economic growth, social welfare
and protecting the environment. It also helps to build and/or consolidate social capital and to
promote more participation and self-initiative, thereby, establishing or stabilizing democratic
processes.
Volunteerism opens wide doors of opportunities for other things. Serving others can lead an
individual to new avenues which he can gain valuable experiences in life. Through volunteer work,
one can expand his horizon and learn how to live with other people and can even gain new friends.
The experience of living in a new environment can make him more understanding and
compassionate while at the same time learning new skills to develop his self-esteem and
interpersonal skills. Opportunities abound for him to share his skills and resources, but so much
more to share his hopes and dreams, and in the process, make other dreams come true.
Serving others through volunteer work can challenge one to tap his resources, get in touch
with his inner self and discover latent abilities he never thought he had. Given the responsibilities
of a volunteer, many people have discovered their deep sense of commitment and the heart to
help others. Volunteerism recognizes the power of individuals driven by their commitment to
make a difference wherever they are.
REPUBLIC ACT 9418 – VOLUNTEER ACT OF 2007
It should be the policy of the state to promote the participation of the different sectors of
the society, international and foreign volunteer organizations in public and civic affairs, and
adopt and strengthen the practice of volunteerism as an approach in order to reach national
development and international understanding. Every Filipino should be educated of
volunteerism to foster social justice, solidarity and sustainable development.
Goals
To achieve attainment, here are the goals and objectives of the policy:
a. To provide the policy framework that shall underscore the fundamental principles
necessary to harmonize the broad and diverse efforts of the voluntary sector,
b. To provide a conducive and enabling environment for the mobilization and nurturance
of volunteers and volunteer organizations,
17

c. To strengthen the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency

(PNVSCA) as an effective institution to support volunteerism in the country.
Definition of Terms
Volunteerism
- act that involves different activities which includes traditional form of mutual aid and
interventions to provide an enabling and empowering both on the part of the beneficiary
and the volunteer,
- a powerful means for bringing more people into the fold. It strengthens civic engagement,
safeguards social inclusion, deepens solidarity and solidifies ownership of development
results. It simply is not possible to attain the SDGs without a wide range of people
engaged at all stages, at all levels, at all times.
Volunteer
- an individual or group who contribute time, service and resources whether on full-time
or part-time basis to a just and essential social development cause, mission or
endeavor in the belief that their activity is mutually meaningful and beneficial to public
interest as well as to themselves
Volunteer Service Organization

- a local or foreign group that recruits, trains, deploys and supports volunteer workers to
programs and projects implemented by them or by other organizations or any group
that provides services and resources, information, capability building, advocacy and
networking for the attainment of the common good
Voluntary Sector
- those sectors of Philippine society that organizes themselves into volunteers to take
advocacy and action primarily for local and national development as well as
international cooperation and understanding
Roles and Modalities of Volunteerism in Private Sector
a. Volunteerism in academe encourage academic institutions to continuously devise

ways to effectively teach and practice the value of volunteerism. Such integration
provides students with the volunteering arena by which they can channel their
idealism and vigor into something worthwhile.
b. In corporate sector, volunteerism serves as an expression of corporate social
responsibility and citizenship, which refers to the activities recognized by the
company, where give their time, skills and resources in the service of the company’s
internal and/or external communities
The Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA)
PNVSCA was created under the Executive Order No. 134 to review and provide policies and
guidelines regarding the national volunteer service program. It establishes and maintains a
national network of volunteer organizations and serves as liaison between and among local.
Recognizing the important contributions of volunteerism in nation-building, the Philippine
National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) leads the promotion and coordination
18
AJUY CAMPUS

volunteer programs and services in the Philippines, to maximize the benefits that may be derived
from volunteer assistance and properly gauge the contributions of volunteers to national
development and international cooperation.
MultiSectoral Advisory Body (MSAB)
It was created under the Executive Order No. 365 to assist the PNVSCA. It composed of
different government agencies (NEDA, DepED, DFA, DOJ, DILG, DSWD, CHED and PMS) and
representative from the corporate sector, private academe sector and from the not-for-profit
sector.
MSAB functions to provide advice in the formulation of policies and guidelines for the
national volunteer service program, provide consultative and technical advisory services on
volunteer matters, and serves as forum to enhance and strengthen linkages between and
among volunteer groups and communities.

Understanding the Dimensions of Development:

Responsiveness in the NIPSCians
Introduction
The NIPSC Ajuy CWS Program is founded on human development process which aims to
facilitate the human and technical formation, particularly, of its students who will engage in
volunteer work. The students receive an equally intense training/seminar on the different
dimension of development as defined under the CWS program prior to and during the actual act of
community work.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Understood the social issues in affecting the community;

2. Created probable solutions or propose a plan to remedy the
problem.
Discussion
Part I. Dimensions of Development
Health
Fitness and Healthy Living
Being fit relates to every aspect of our health - physical, emotional and mental. All three are
interconnected. And nutrition and physical activity are fundamental to each one.
Education
Current Trend of Education in Philippines
The current educational system is dominantly own by private investors or financed by loans
and has become commercialized. Such would be evidenced by the continuing tuition fee increases.
Thus, the marginalized sector, who has no capability, lack the appropriate education, knowledge,
skills to possess a competitive edge in the employment market.
Environment
Environment Development
As development moves further and further to the metropolitan fringe, it competes with open
space habitat and prime farmland. Loss of open space impacts the environment in multiple ways.
First, we lose many of the natural landscapes features we value such as forests, wetlands, etc.
Second, we lose the functions that these features provide such as runoff control, wildlife migration,
etc. And in the instance of farmland loss, we hasten the use of lesser quality soils for production,
26
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

thereby heightening conversion of forests and wetlands for crop production and increasing
dependency on irrigation, fertilizers and chemicals. The communities should pursue open space
protection and development objectives through the clustering of development activity away from
sensitive natural areas.
Entrepreneurship
Advantage of Small Businesses
Entrepreneurship is the capacity and quality of an individual to effectively manage a

business towards customer satisfaction and profitability services. It sees opportunities and makes
the best of them. It is putting good use of something that otherwise may become wasted (Coloma
and Herrera, 2004).
In entrepreneurship, the relationship is more personalized with customers and employees.

There is a close relationship between them, hence, they can work harmoniously. The small
entrepreneur enjoys freedom from interference. He is the master of his own decision. He can
enjoy flexible time and can adjust store hours to fit market conditions. He can quickly learn
changes in the needs and interests of customers.
The government supports the small entrepreneurs by extending financial and technical
assistance, particularly production and marketing.
Safety
First Aid
We do not know when an emergency may occur and therefore we need to know how to react
quickly to such situation. Knowing how to react is essential in applying first aid which is very
crucial.
First Aid is the immediate care given to person who has been injured or suddenly taken ill.
It includes self-help and home care if medical assistance is not yet available or delayed. Further
defined, it is the skilled application of treatment, using facilities or materials available at the time,
that any trained individual gives an ill or injured person while waiting for medical assistance.
The first aider deals with the whole situation, the injured person and the injury or illness.
He knows what not to do as well as what to do. He avoids errors that are frequently made by
untrained persons through well-meant but misguided efforts
It is important that we learn how to keep safe and how to get or give first aid. First aid
knowledge and skill can mean the difference between life and death, between temporary and
permanent disability, and between rapid recovery and long hospitalization.
Calamity and Disaster Preparedness
27
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

Disasters, whether natural or man-made, have always been a part our lives and we have
learned to live with them by force of nature or by circumstances. Our resiliency to overcome these
difficulties is a symbol of our steadfastness and undaunted ness to rise from the rubbles and
recover from the wrath of nature.
Disaster comes to our lives and communities when we least expect them. It is therefore
important to empower ourselves to overcome our vulnerability to disasters and be ready to cope
with any disaster that may occur anytime.
Fire Prevention and Protection
It is imperative that we be thoroughly familiar with what to do in case of fire. Fires produce
thick, dark smoke that irritates the eyes and breathing passage and can cause confusion. People
who have become disoriented in fire have been found in closets, stair-wells and laundry rooms
thinking they were exits.
Fire is considered as one of the leading cause of unintentional death due to injury. Thousands of
people have been injured, many of them hospitalized for severe burns and some disfigured for life.
The most effective way to protect ourselves and our homes from fire is to prevent a fire from
starting. Identifying and diminishing fire hazards in and around our homes are our first line of
defense.
Crime Prevention
Crime prevention is an act to be done in order that a crime could not happen. It is through
crime prevention where we can lessen crimes in our society. Don’t be a victim. Crime prevention
is everybody’s concern. We have to join hands in order to lessen crime in our community it not
totally eradicate it.
Recreation
Importance of Recreation
When people work the whole day, they become very tired and bored. Their tendency is to
divert their activity in the form of recreation. Recreation is a leisure activity which is done during
free time. It is referred to as a play for the young and diversion for the adults, because they are
enjoying the activity. It is believed that people occasionally need a break from their routine
activities and therefore providing community and recreational activities would allow them to
develop different skills.
Morals of the Citizenry
Ethics in Politics
Graft and corruption have become institutions in government as they have been practiced in
practically all levels of government including the country’s highest office. Graft and corruption
have become too endemic that the government is losing its moral ascendency to lead its
constituents to the extent that it tends to deceive, bribe or coerce the people to submit to its rule.
28
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

The political marginalization of the poor is a dominant phenomenon at present. The nature
and composition of government is predominantly elite in practically all branches and levels. This
social exclusions of the poor in the slay of political power resulted in their marginalization and the
distribution and allocation of economic resources.
Ethics in Business
The industrial sector, being underdeveloped, cannot provide jobs to the labor surplus. The
growth of the urban poor population has been rapid that comprises the bulk of the informal sector.
Most being unskilled labor, they do not have the competitive edge in the employment market.
Some are lucky enough to be absorbed in construction industries that provide them seasonal
employment. Even those with academic qualification hardly find jobs and end up in the export
labor market. Those who cannot find oversees employment are forced to take jobs for which they
are qualified.

Module 4
The Process of Community Immersion
Introduction
Community Immersion is one important requirement of the National Service Training
Program (NSTP) prescribed to students, male or female alike, in private and public higher
education institutions and technical-vocational schools.
This serves as the practicum-based element of the NSTP where lessons learned and acquired
in NSTP 1 are applied. This practicum requirement is essential to all components of the NSTP.
Community immersion is a strategy in community organizing that is sought to imbibe among
the NSTP trainees a better understanding and realization of the different community concerns
through the exposure on actual life situations specifically in the deprived, depressed and the
underprivileged (DDU) communities.
The NSTP trainees are expected to initiate community-based interventions in the form of
projects and activities meant to address the multi-faceted issues and concerns of the people in the
area of service.
Learning Outcomes
Verbalize the process of immersion as a guide for rendering service to
the communities;
 Design a community immersion plan of implementation following the
process; and
 Internalize the importance of carrying out the steps of community
immersion in series.
At the end of the module, trainees must have:
1. Explain the concept and principles underpinning community immersion.
2. Realized the importance of understanding the dynamics of community immersion as a way to
realize the objectives of NSTP; and
3. Practiced the standard operating procedures and established protocols governing community
immersions.
Discussion
Community Immersion
It is an essential strategy in community organizing work that entails understanding of the
different community concerns, process, dynamics and lifestyle through exposure and engaging in
different activities.
Forms of Integration in Community Immersion

1. Home visits
2. Living with selected families preferably with key informants
3. Informal discussions with individuals and groups
4. Sharing in household and community activities
5. Attendance in social gatherings
6. Assistance in production work

AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

Go to the people.
Live with the people. Learn from them.
Plan with them. Work with them.
Start with what they know.
Build on what they have.
Teach by showing, learn by doing.
Not by showcase but by pattern.
Not odds and ends but a system.
Not piecemeal but integrated approach.
Not to conform but to transform.
Not relief but release.
The Community Immersion Process

The community immersion process is a series of interrelated and intertwined phases which
commences with the Pre-Immersion followed by entering the Community, Community Integration,
Community Needs Assessment, Program or Project Implementation, and Termination of the Project
PHASE I PRE-IMMERSION
This phase regards the identification of the community where the students will be immersed
at Area Selection.
1. Groups or communities to be chosen belong to the deprived, depressed and
underprivileged (DDU).
2. Willingness of local groups and community leaders to work with you on community
projects.
3. Anticipated activities and demands fall within your available resources and ability to
meet them.
4. Presence of development agencies and other support institutions providing assistance to
the areas
5. Stable peace and order situations.
6. Accessibility. Successful community immersion also relies on how quickly and how often
you can visit the community
PHASE II ENTERING THE COMMUNITY

To ensure success in entering the community, it is necessary to have community mapping of
the target area.
Angelito G. Manalii in his book Community Organizing for People’s Empowerment (1990),
remarked that there are different ways of entering the community. Similarly, immersion begins
with the initial steps in community organizing. Anchored on Manalili’s concepts, those planning to
conduct community immersion can enter the community thru: Ostentatious Entry, Banking on the
People’s Weakness, Academic Style of Entry, but the best way is People-Centered Approach.
Ostentation Entry - Complete people with banner and a general assembly of the
people, the community ushers in the people.
Banking on the People’s Weakness - The outsiders try to find out which aspect is it
that the community will need them for and through this, emphasize on how they could be helpful.
Academic Style of Entry - Academic institutions field some students into the
community regarding its concerns.
People-Centered Approach - This approach ultimately believes on the capacity of the
community people to participate and acknowledge whether outsider assistance is really needed.
34
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

PHASE III COMMUNITY INTEGRATION

Integration is a continuous process wherein the trainees come into direct contact and
become involved with the community people.
Integration may be done through: Border Style, Elitist Style, But the best way is the People-
Centered Method of Living with the People.
Border Style – If the provision allow the trainees may choose to stay and live in the
immersion area for a certain period of time.
Elitist Style – Some trainees tend to stay to key informants and political players during their
stay in the community.
People-centered Style – Is a method of living with the people.
PHASE IV COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Needs assessment, social analysis or community diagnosis as others refer to, is a concrete
base for the formulation of programs.
Community Needs Assessment defined as the process wherein problems, issues and
concerns of the community are identified through the use of several tools for assessment.
Importance of Needs Assessment

1. Gather information about citizens’ attitudes and options in order to importance.
2. Determine how citizens rank issues, problems and opportunities in order of importance or
urgency.
3. Give citizens a voice in determining policies, goals and priorities.
4. Evaluate current programs and policies.
5. Provide speculations about what people are thinking.
6. Provide speculations about what people really want.
Information to be Included in Assessing Community Needs

1. Historical Development
This refers to data on how the community became what it is today and provides
insights into the kind of resources to collect and weed.
2. Geographical and Transportation Information
This includes information on the community’s patterns and population
contributions.
3. Political and Legal Functions
This includes strategies for community-based selection {or this may include
strategies that community uses for selecting players in the political sphere].
4. Demographic Data
This includes data on age characteristics, size, race, and transience, of
population.
5. Economic Data
This refers to the economic base, social, cultural, educational, recreational
organizations. This includes the values and social pattern.
Method in Collecting Data for Community Needs Assessment

1. Focused Group Discussion (FGD) with Key informants. The key informants of the
community are people who hold socially responsible positions such as educators, public
35
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

officials, clergy and business representatives or those who are active in community
events.
2. Community Forum/Assembly. This involves holding of group events that may include
the entire community.
3. Public records. Public records like national census will provide data for social and
demographic indicators of the community.
4. Survey. Survey and questionnaires involve asking individuals in the community about
their everyday needs. This can be implemented through the following:
a. Mailing questionnaires to randomly selected members of the community;
b. Performing telephone survey:
c. Handling out surveys while people are in an assembly; and
d. Posting questionnaires on your public access computer catalog.
Steps in Conducting Needs Assessment

1. Establish a working committee to solicit citizen and community involvement and
develop a plan of action.
2. List important aspects that are needed to be looked upon.
3. Identify the population to be surveyed.
4. Determine the information that is needed.
5. Select a random sample of person to survey.
6. Develop and pretest a questionnaire.
7. Collate the information.
8. Analyze the data.
9. Go back to the community for validation of information.
10. Finalize the document.
Community Assistance in Assessing Needs

1. Help identify community groups and citizens to be involved in the working committee.
2. Facilitate group discussion to identify important issues and set priorities.
3. Help select the sample to be surveyed and design a system to identify respondents.
4. Provide tested questions from which the working committees choose questions that
address the issues and concerns.
5. Help design a process to distribute and collect survey questionnaires, code, enter and
analyze the resulting data.
6. Provide summary reports of data.
7. Suggest programs to report the results and strategies to solicit community involvement.
8. Work with citizens to identify courses of action based on the information.
9.
PHASE V PRGORAM/PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Project implementation deals with the actual execution of the plans. To ensure the success
of the NSTP community service projects performed by the trainees during their immersion time,
the following must be considered:
1. program must be responsive to the needs of the clients;
2. contribute to the upliftment of the living conditions of the clients;
3. maximize the resources available in the community;
4. tap the potentials of the clients and give due recognition;
36
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

5. objectives must be SMART with tangible results that touch the lives of the clients;
6. project must be done systematically to ensure significant contributions from pre-
planning, planning stage, implementation and evaluation;
7. complete documentation must be observed as basis for reporting and for future studies;
8. projects must be within the capacity and concern of the trainees that will allow them to
gain the knowledge, skills and encourage reflective action; and
9. develop shared commitment among the trainees.
Projects must promote civic consciousness imbued with good citizenship values of
Pagkamaka-Diyos, PagkamakaTao, Pagkamaka-Bayan and Pagkamaka-Kalikasan.
PHASE VI TERMINATION OF PROJECTS

NSTP trainees are expected to complete their projects in the community in the span 50-90
hours as prescribed to the CHED-endorsed Program of Instruction for it to be credited in the
training course. Right at the very start the trainee-implementers must apprise their target
participants of the particulars of the projects undertaken especially in terms of time frame.

Module 5
Social Mobilization – Community Involvement of the NIPSCians
Introduction
The activities of the students do not end in community exposures/immersions. After

experiencing real life situations outside the school, they should be mobilized to render
civic/community service. The students are given the opportunity to do actual civic/community
service under the supervision of the teacher- facilitator. Through the different projects planned,
implemented and evaluated by the students themselves, they are expected to become
civic/community minded and socially responsible.
Learning Outcomes
1. Defined project proposal as basis for implementation of the NSTP activities in the
immersion area.
2. Applied the process of making effective project proposal based on identified needs of the
target clientele
3. Appreciated the value of making effective project proposal in the NSTP program.
Discussion
Project is a time-bound undertaking that is carried out to create a unique service.
Project development involves series of continuous, often overlapping phases. This

cyclical process launches with the survey of felt needs in the locality that will serve as
baseline information in the formulation project or set of projects may be undertaken in an
uninterrupted or staggered manner.
These specific concerns in the development of project can be viewed in a cyclical

presentation of the various phases involved in the process known as project cycle.

V. Project Objectives
The general purpose of the project is to improve the environment of the locality.
Toward this end, the following objectives are set:
1. To maintain the cleanliness in the barangay

2. To imbibe the importance of cleanliness among the participants.
3. To increase the awareness of the resident on the advantages of proper waste disposal
and segregation.
4. To solicit the support of the residents in maintaining the cleanliness and greenness of
the surroundings
VI. Project Description

Imagine how the surroundings took place before. You can breathe fresh air, see
greenish surroundings and of course taste clear water. Nowadays, can you still observe
these things? Maybe in some but most of the places in this day and age are
already polluted and deforested. The air that was once fresh is now full of pollutants such
as smoke and dust. The surrounding that was once greenish become all cemented. The
water that was once clear became blurred and dirty. One of the causes of this is the
improper waste disposal. For instances, most people believed that throwing a single
candy wrapper is not a big deal. But take a closer look on the situation and analyzed it. If
most people throw a candy wrapper once a day simultaneously, do you still think that it
was not a big deal? Of course it isn’t. Those candy wrappers that were thrown would piled
a big trash and become a problem in the community. It might be stuck on the drainage
and backfire when a heavy rain comes then flood the community. Trees can be a
lifesaver but since the trees that once stood there were all cut, it would be impossible to
absorb the water using its roots. Simple mistakes may result to big damage. Thus, a
proper waste management is necessary. Segregation of garbage, recycling, collecting of
waste materials and proper waste disposal are just a few ways to properly manage your
wastes. Meanwhile, the surrounding that was once greenish full of grasses and tall trees
have become as dull as a rock. The green grasses that once were all over the place have
all turned to cemented roads. Deforestation and urbanization are the main cause of this.
For example, cutting trees illegally for their own convenience such as making furniture
and papers that in the end would just go to waste since most of the people doesn’t know
how to conserve and toss is it however and whenever they want to. This mostly results
landslide at mountainous area. Since trees that were supposed to uphold the land
together and prevent extensive erosion were all cut down. Floods can also be the one of
the consequences that people may experience in the future if this negligent attitude still
goes on. Trees also help in preventing floods using it roots by absorbing the water. The
water that could be harmful becomes useful with the plants as they absorb it as part of
their own. Also trees are one of the heroes in the fight against global warming and
deforestation. They are what we call super weapons. That’s how great and magnificent
the nature is. If people would not just disturb the balance in its system, it would be a
great result. If people just follow the law about for every one tree that was cut, at least 3
seedlings should be planted to replace the tree that was cut, it would be a life saver.
Maintaining the balance in the ecosystem, would bring forth fortune and not a disaster.
48
AJUY CAMPUS
Ajuy, Iloilo

This project would help the residents had the lack of initiative to do the
segregation of waste, for those people who already have a background about it. The
residents also had the lack of the initiative to the cleaning of the road side. Thus, a clean-
up drive would probably fit the program that would be conducted at the locality. Also
wall-painting program would fit in the projects since most off the walls were vandalized
and is already old and dirty. Also, painting the walls would probably give of a better aura,
an aura of cleanliness and orderliness in the Barangay.
Feeding Program and Gift-giving Program would also be conducted in order to give
thanks to the community participation in the project. Since most of the families contain
children, specifically ranging from ages 4-12 years old, and mostly have a physical
appearance of being skinny a feeding program and a gift-giving would probably be
beneficial. Also most of the families have a low monthly income, programs like theses
would be advantageous.

VII. Methodology
The project is the maintenance of cleanliness and orderliness and nature

appreciation in Barangay Lourdes. The approach of it is to help the community in
maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of the community together with appreciating
the natures worth in their barangay. In this project, there are several programs that
would be implemented.
Clean-Up Drive Program. It is a program where the CWTS-students would
voluntarily clean and aid the barangay officials regarding their project on Clean and
Green Projects within the locality of the barangay. Segregation of waste would also be
done in the process. Road Clean-up is the main highlight of the Clean and Green Project
of the barangay. Cleaning the streets of the locality would also be done.
Wall Painting Program. Wall painting program is a program in which CWTS-
students would willingly paint the government infrastructures, walls and posts within the
locality of the barangay, especially those walls that were vandalized and were already too
old and dirty. Painting them would make it looks like a new one and has better
atmosphere of being clean and orderly.
Tree Planting Program. Tree planting program is a program that advocates nature
appreciation. In this program planting seedlings would be done in order to increase the
amount of trees in the locality. The seedlings to be used were provided by the barangay.
A mahogany seed would be planted, since it less expensive and easy to cultivate. As said
in the gathered information, trees are beneficial for us since it does not only prevent
floods and landslides but also help prevents the worsening results of Global Warming.
This program would be implemented in the barangay at the site that the barangay
officials would permit the students to the planting.
Lecture-Seminar Program. A Lecture-Seminar Program would also be
implemented. This program is mainly for children. In this lecture-seminar the children will
be thought mainly of how to recycle and how to become an earth friendly citizen. The
first part of the lecture would be waste management skills. Video clips were to be shown.
A CWTS-Student would also be the one discussing the video clips that were shown. The
second part of the lecture would be about Recycling. A game will be included so that the
children would not be bored and still enjoy the seminar. These games will also be
connected to recycling and becoming earth friendly citizen.
Film Showing. A film showing would also be conducted. The theme of the movie
would be about nature appreciation it would be shown to participants that were

composed of children ranging from ages 4-10 years old. The title of the movie is
Simpsons the Movie. This movie is about how Homer, the father and the of the Simpsons
Family, recklessly throw his trash on the river that caused a big dilemma that become a
national problem. This movie shows the consequences of improper waste management
and negligent in our nature. In lieu with this, participants would be aware about the
danger of an improper waste management and the consequences they would encounter if
they would face it in the future.
Feeding Program. A feeding program would also be implemented in the barangay.
The participants would be children ranging from ages 4-10 years old. A chicken porridge
would be served. Pack with nutritious and delicious ingredients. One egg would be
included per serving. And a tetra juice would also be included for a whole pack meal.
Gift Giving Program. A Gift-Giving Program will be conducted in the barangay after
the feeding program. A small gift of token from the CWTS-students fund raising would be
given to the children for participating in the program that the CWTS-students
implemented.

Module 6
Implementation, Monitoring, Evaluation and Documentation:

Social Mobilization – Community Involvement of the NIPSCians
Introduction
The activities of the students do not end in community exposures/immersions. After

experiencing real life situations outside the school, they should be mobilized to render
civic/community service. The students are given the opportunity to do actual civic/community
service under the supervision of the teacher- facilitator. Through the different projects planned,
implemented and evaluated by the students themselves, they are expected to become
civic/community minded and socially responsible.
Learning Outcomes
4. Implemented community projects.
5. Monitored, Evaluated and Documented the community projects undertaken.
Discussion
We believe on the worth of the individual as a responsible, participating member of the

society, and as such, are concerned with human organization and development process. The
management and implementation of development programs and projects are intended to actively
mobilize the people of the communities to collectively translate their ideas into concrete realities.
It is to help the people of the communities to employ the right methods to organize self-help
initiatives and to develop techniques relevant to their own situation for progress.
Community Organizing. If project development and management is geared towards
promoting capability building, empowerment and self-reliance, it is but imperative that the process
starts with organizing the community. This should be the case because the participation of the
people can never be strong and decisive if they are not organized, if they are not united.
Social Analysis. In the planning and management of development projects, social analysis
of the community is specifically focused on the problems, needs and potentials of the people which
will help them in the systematic identification of potential projects which can help solve their
problems and meet their needs.
Project Identification. Project identification gains meaning as the people discover
potential projects which can help change oppressive conditions in their community and respond
sensitively to their problems and needs. That is precisely why, just as in the earlier steps in
participatory project development and management, we want the people to take the lead role in
identifying development projects. We want them, based on their own analysis of their conditions,
to identify the development projects feasible in their community.

Feasibility Study Preparation. There are numerous projects which can possibly help
solve the people’s problems and meet their needs. But in doing studies on development projects,
we want the people to be critical in their decision-making as to what projects would be
implemented.
Project Selection and Approval. At this stage in the process of planning and
management of development projects, we want the people to decide. Just as in the preceding
steps, we want the people to decide what projects they want to implement in their community.
Their decision will be guided by their own feasibility studies of the development projects.
Once the people have already selected and approved the projects which they will implement,
we want them to prepare a proposal and plan for implementing the project. At this stage, the
people must also prepare for the project implementation by having a clear-cut work plan and
division of responsibilities among the members. It should be kept in mind that the active
involvement of the people must be as extensive as possible. The whole organization must be
motivated and encouraged to decide and act for the project’s realization.
The proposed project now is ready for implementation.
What is Project Implementation?

Project Implementation. In implementing the project, we want to see the people taking
the lead role. At this stage in the process of planning and managing development projects, the
actual participation of the people shall be fully harnessed in meeting their objectives. As it has
been in the earlier steps, this is also a developmental process in a continuum of action-reflection-
action.
What is Project Management and Sustenance?

Project Management and Sustenance. Once completed, the project must be continually
managed and sustained. The project must serve as an avenue for the people’s continuing
capability building, self-reliance and empowerment.
What we want to happen is for the people to know and continuously search for more
effective ways of doing things. We want them to discover innovative ways of organizing their tasks
and collectively pursuing them.
If the project is intended to increase the income of the members of the organization, what
we want to see is a situation where, no matter how meager, benefits derived from the project are
divided equitably to those who labor to make the project a success.
What is Project Monitoring and Evaluation?

Project Monitoring and Evaluation. In this activity, we want the people to monitor and
evaluate their project. Monitoring and evaluation are done so that the people can periodically
discuss and act timely enough on whatever problems they may encounter in the project’s
implementation and management. In short, monitoring the project is intended to improve on the
project’s implementation and management and make it more systematic and meaningful.
We also want the people to evaluate the project. We want them to have a critical self-
awareness about their strengths and weaknesses. In the course of their evaluation, we want to
reinforce their confidence on their own capabilities.
What is Documentation?
Documentation is the process of classifying and annotating texts, photographs, videos and etc. that
provides official information or evidence or that serves as a record. In here you will be needing a camera or your
smart phones to take photos and record videos.
