Häfele Launches Appliances with EMCOR in Davao City

As the country gets ready to celebrate National Heroes Day on August 26 (yes a long weekend is here again) we meet a new set of heroes.&nbsp;

As Arizona Robbins from Grey’s Anatomy said, not all heroes wear capes. Some happen to be tiny humans. Now, another teenager and her friends set out to create a lasting impact in the Philippine arts and culture space by publishing the first book of the ongoing children’s book series, The Adventures of Damgo: Betta and the Dry Lands.

At just 16 years old, Jacqueline Dominique “Nikki” Go is already creating heroic contributions to art and pediatric cancer communities.&nbsp;

As the founder of the Damgo Art Therapy Foundation and the author of The Adventures of Damgo, Nikki’s journey starts with the love for family and art.

Nikki’s artistic interests began in early childhood, nurtured by supportive parents who, despite not being artists themselves, recognized and cultivated their daughter’s creative talents. "I’ve always felt happiest when I get lost creating art," Nikki shares.&nbsp;

This passion for art, however, was juxtaposed against a backdrop of loss and heartache as cancer took the lives of several close family members. "Cancer is hereditary, and I have it on both sides of my family. I’ve lost 3 uncles to cancer, and my grandma and aunt are survivors," Nikki recounts.&nbsp;

These experiences naturally fueled her curiosity and empathy toward cancer patients and survivors, eventually leading her to establish the Damgo Art Therapy Foundation.

Like most youth-led initiatives, the foundation originated from Nikki’s 8th-grade school project aimed at contributing to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).&nbsp;

While her peers focused on themes like poverty and sustainability, Nikki chose to explore the impact of art on mental well-being, particularly among teenagers. "I saw a huge lift in happiness when teenagers were exposed to art." Nikki explains. This discovery ignited a deeper inquiry into the beneficiaries of art therapy, ultimately guiding her to Bahay Aruga, a halfway home for pediatric cancer patients.

"When I approached Bahay Aruga, I wanted to offer something more valuable than monetary donations. Something that would have a lasting positive effect on the patients… art therapy had that effect," says Nikki.&nbsp;

The Damgo Art Therapy Foundation was born out of this desire, and it quickly became hope for young cancer patients. Through art therapy sessions, Nikki witnessed firsthand the transformative power of creativity. "One of my students said that she 'couldn’t believe she is able to paint the things she’s done.' She told me how she looked forward&nbsp; to our art therapy sessions, and she carries this feeling when she goes for treatment."

Inspired by the children’s resilience and imagination, Nikki penned The Adventures of Damgo, a series that takes cancer patients on a cosmic journey filled with limitless possibilities. "I hope that through these stories, children all over the country and the world become inspired to dream big and help each other overcome any obstacle," Nikki says. “Damgo, in Cebuano, also means dream.”

The book’s impact has been profound, forging deep connections between the young artists and the community that supports them. Tragically, two of the contributing artists, Richard and Ralph, passed away before the book’s completion. Yet, their legacy lives on through their artwork and the positive influence the project had on their lives.&nbsp;

"Remembering the moments with Richard, he remarked how he loves the art therapy sessions because it takes his mind off the pain, even for a few hours,'" Nikki reflects. “Meanwhile, Ralph was that one student who didn’t miss a single week’s lesson. He loved the art therapy sessions! He told me that he loved to paint Damgo’s adventures because it makes him imagine that he too, can one day go outside the country and see unbelievable sights.”

Publishing the first book is just the start of Nikki’s big plans for the Damgo Art Therapy Foundation. With two more books in development and a growing partnership with the International School Manila’s Visual Arts Club, the foundation is poised to continue its mission of providing joy and comfort to pediatric cancer patients.&nbsp;

"In the future, I hope to see more innovation in the art therapy execution, and more adventures of Damgo," Nikki says. “Excited for book 2!”

The Adventures of Damgo: Betta and the Dry Lands written by 16-year old Nikki Go is now available from www.bookshelf.com.ph  This book features artwork by pediatric cancer patients.

At its core, <a href="https://kwen2co.com">Media </a>and<a href="https://kwen2co.com/media-and-information-literacy/"> Information Literacy</a> (MIL) empowers individuals to navigate the intricate world of information. It affords people the ability to critically assess, engage with, and create media. It cultivates a profound understanding of how media influences society, particularly concerning the protection and advancement of human rights.

Enhancing Critical Thinking to Counter Human Rights Violations

In a world rife with misinformation, MIL sharpens critical thinking skills, allowing individuals to discern truth from falsehood. This enables them to see through manipulative narratives that obscure or justify human rights abuses. This molds informed citizens to take action against injustice.

Empowering Citizens to Champion Their Rights

This skill transforms individuals into active participants in the fight for human rights. It equips them with the knowledge to harness digital tools and platforms. Thus, it gives them a voice to the voiceless and it fosters a global network of advocates.

Combating Misinformation and Defending Democratic Values

Misinformation poses a significant threat to democracy and human rights because fuels division and justifies abuses. MIL serves as a powerful antidote because it trains individuals to identify and expose false narratives, thereby upholding democratic freedoms.

Promoting Freedom of Expression and Unhindered Access to Information

Freedom of expression and access to information are cornerstones of a just society. MIL empowers individuals to engage with media responsibly and creatively. It empowers them to counter censorship and ensure the free flow of vital information.

Enable Meaningful Participation in Democratic Processes

A healthy democracy relies on informed and engaged citizens. This is possible through MIL because it fosters an informed electorate capable of critically evaluating political discourse, holding leaders accountable, and actively participating in decision-making processes that safeguard human rights.

Building Resilience Against Digital Manipulation in the Information Age

The digital landscape is rife with manipulative tactics that threaten individual rights and societal stability. MIL equips individuals with the knowledge to recognize and resist these tactics. This skill fosters a resilient society that safeguards human rights in the digital realm.

Fostering a Culture of Accountability and Justice

MIL plays a crucial role in creating a society that upholds human rights by fostering a culture of accountability. Media-literate individuals are empowered to document abuses, advocate for victims, and demand justice. Thus, it ensures that violations do not go unchallenged.

Practical Applications: Empowering Change through MIL

MIL's impact extends far beyond theoretical knowledge. It is put into practice through educational programs, digital campaigns, and community media initiatives. These practical applications equip individuals and communities with the tools to actively protect and promote human rights.

In an era defined by the rapid flow of information, MIL stands as a beacon of hope for the protection of human rights. It empowers individuals to critically navigate the digital landscape, combat misinformation, advocate for justice, and actively participate in shaping a more equitable and informed society. As we move forward, the prioritization and expansion of&nbsp; MIL initiatives is crucial for building a future where human rights are respected and upheld for all.

This article explores the strengths and weaknesses of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in the Philippines. It highlights the integration of MIL as a subject into the Senior High School curriculum and the challenges in implementation.

The Philippines recognizes Media and Information Literacy (MIL) as crucial in developing an active and well-informed citizenry in the modern world. Hence, the Department of Education (DepED) integrated this into its Senior High School (SHS) curriculum.&nbsp;

As a good initiative, this article will examine the policies and the subject content. It will also disect the progress made and the challenges that remain.

The Evolution of MIL in the Philippines

Media and Information Literacy&nbsp; in the Philippines is a response to both global trends and local needs for enhanced media literacy. With the advent of social media and the proliferation of fake news, the national adoption of MIL as a course demonstrates a commitment to equipping students with the critical skills needed to navigate the complex media landscape of the 21st century.

The inclusion of MIL as a core subject in the SHS curriculum is a significant step forward. It aims to guide students to become responsible media consumers and producers. This covers topics like media evolution, information literacy, media sources, and ethical media practices.

Key Components and Teacher Training

The said curriculum is comprehensive since it encompasses both traditional and digital media. To effectively deliver this curriculum, teacher training programs like the "Understanding and Utilizing Media in Teaching" seminar-workshops have been implemented.&nbsp;

However, challenges in teacher preparation and aligning training with curriculum requirements persist. These include the lack of relevant materials aligned with the curriculum and the lack of the competency of the teacher to teach the subjects and limited resources as well.

The Role of Teachers and Community Engagement

Despite the challenges teachers face in teaching MIL education to their students, they are willing to take the challenge because they recognize the importance of a well-informed citizenry in shaping the future of the Philippines. On the other hand, there are community engagement initiatives like the #FactsFirstPH of Rappler that plays a critical role in extending MIL education beyond formal settings. These programs promote critical thinking skills and digital hygiene to combating disinformation.

There are localized efforts to widen the reach of MIL education in the country. An example would be the likes of those in Isla Culion in Palawan. This shows the strengths of the Philippine MIL landscape. First, the Philippines prioritized the inclusion of MIL in the national curriculum. Second, it is inclusive to all Filipinos especially in remote areas because these initiatives addressed such problems through community-based approaches by going to far-flung places.

Despite these strengths, weaknesses remain. These include the lack of teacher preparedness, limited resources, time constraints within the curriculum, and disparities in regional implementation. To address these disparities, the Philippine government must target efforts to ensure equitable access to resources and training across the country.&nbsp;

Moreover, MIL education is useless if there is no access to information among people in remote areas so it should be a priority of the government to make information as affordable and accessible as possible.
