Barriers to Quality Maternal Healthcare in Barangay Kaingin 1, Quezon City: An Exploratory Study Anchored on the Integrated Patient Care Healthcare Services Framework (IPCHSF) and the National Safe Motherhood Program (NSMP)
No full textDespite the implementation of national programs like the National Safe Motherhood Program (NSMP) that aims to improve maternal health outcomes, women in the Philippines still continuously face barriers in accessing quality maternal healthcare (MHC) due to systemic, societal, and psychological factors. Other persistent issues like poor healthcare service, insufficient understanding of health-related knowledge, and the lack of autonomy in decision making, which are especially prevalent in underserved communities, further discourage women from seeking care. This study aims to investigate these barriers and their impact on the overall well-being of mothers from Miriam College\u27s partnered communities, like Kaingin 1. To explore these challenges in-depth, an exploratory descriptive research (EDA) was implemented. The research utilized a semi-structured questionnaire and a focus group discussion (FGD) to capture the lived experiences of 20 women from the community who were purposely selected based on criteria, including age (30-40 years) and experience with Maternal Healthcare Service Delivery Networks (MHCSDNs). Thematic analysis identified key barriers such as the lack of accessibility to medical services, financial constraints, neglect of providing medical knowledge, mistreatment from health care providers (HCPS), and psychosocial factors shaped by societal pressures. To address these, recommendations include strengthening health care education and literacy, improving HCP training that focuses on patient-centered care, integrating mental health support in maternal care, and coordinated policy reforms through community-based implementation. This study emphasizes the importance of intersectional approaches to maternal health, providing actionable insights to enhance MHC services for underserved communities
Archer Snaps by Blessing in These Guys
No full textArcher Snaps was established on July 24, 2024, by five (5) senior high school students from De La Salle University-Manila (DLSU) with the goal of capturing meaningful student experiences through a personalized photo booth service. Inspired by the slogan, “You will never realize the value of a moment until it becomes a memory,” Archer Snaps turns everyday campus moments into lasting memorabilia that celebrate Lasallian pride. Launched as a sole proprietorship during the DLSU ABM Bazaar, the business offered photo strips with exclusive DLSU-themed borders explicitly designed for the Lasallian community. Within its first two (2) months, Archer Snaps sold 495 photo strips and generated ₱18,780 in net income—a limited-edition filter collaboration with Br. Richie Yap is slated for release on the 11th of July, aiming to deepen the brand’s presence and strengthen ties within the community through a meaningful partnership. Operating within the student events and entertainment industry, Archer Snaps addresses the DLSU community’s desire for affordable, customized keepsakes that blend nostalgia with school spirit. Its campus-specific themes, fast service, and professional-quality prints distinguish it from general providers like Today’s Photo Studio, which lack the same personalized branding and relevance. The business is run by a five-member team, each contributing skills in operations, marketing, finance, and human resources, with roles assigned based on expertise and availability. With an initial capital of ₱27,500 fully funded by the founders and no external investment, Archer Snaps is a self-sustaining venture poised for continued growth and future expansion to other campuses
