SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #282 "Ano ang benepisyo ng Qi Gong at Tai Chi? For Healthy Aging"
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar282 \n  \nWebinar #282\nApril 24\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nAno ang Benepisyo ng Qi Gong at Tai Chi?\nFor Healthy Aging\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Shelly Ann F. Dela Vega\nDirector\, Institute on Aging\nUP – National Institutes of Health\nProfessor Department of Medicine\nUP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #282\nApril 24\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nAno ang Benepisyo ng Qi Gong at Tai Chi?\nFor Healthy Aging\n\nIn an era defined by a rapid demographic transition toward an increasingly aging global population\, the clinical imperative to identify sustainable\, low-impact\, and high-efficacy interventions has never been more pressing. We are honored to invite you to a specialized webinar that bridges the gap between ancient Eastern philosophies and contemporary evidence-based geriatric care\, focusing on the profound benefits of Qi Gong and Tai Chi. In this week’s episode\, we will deconstruct the physiological and psychological mechanisms that make these “meditative movements” essential tools in the modern healthcare professional’s arsenal and the layperson’s wellness journey.\n\nOur discourse will move beyond anecdotal appreciation to examine the rigorous scientific literature surrounding neuroplasticity and the stabilization of the autonomic nervous system. Participants will explore how the rhythmic\, slow-velocity movements inherent in Tai Chi enhance proprioceptive feedback and neuromuscular coordination\, directly addressing the multifactorial risks associated with sarcopenia and geriatric falls. In addition\, we will discuss the biochemical shifts elicited by these practices\, specifically the modulation of cortisol levels and the upregulation of parasympathetic activity\, which collectively foster a state of systemic homeostasis and improved immunological resilience. This scientific synthesis is designed to provide medical practitioners with a robust framework for recommending these modalities as part of a comprehensive preventative care strategy.\n\nIn this webinar\, we will highlight the cognitive benefits of these practices\, particularly in preserving executive function and visuospatial processing in older adults. When we integrate these low-risk\, cost-effective interventions into standard care pathways\, healthcare providers can facilitate a paradigm shift from reactive treatment to proactive\, holistic wellness.\n\nOur speaker is Dr. Shelley Ann F. Dela Vega\, who is the Director of the Institute on Aging\, UP – National Institutes of Health and is also a Professor at the Department of Medicine\, UP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital. Join us as we navigate the frontier where traditional mindfulness meets the rigorous scrutiny of geriatric medicine to redefine the trajectory of healthy aging.

SUMMARY:Renato Constantino Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Save the Date! A convocation in honor of Renato Constantino and current global and national issues blazing in the news today.\n\nWhat is behind the country’s persistent underdevelopment and what explains the acceleration of industrialization among our neighbors? What are the links closely binding decolonization and decarbonization and how do these shape our people’s aspiration to industrialize today? What is the relevance of Philippine history with regard to fossil economy-triggered conflicts in West Asia\, territorial disputes in contested international waters\, and the worsening climate crisis? What is the relevance today of Renato Constantino and Letizia Roxas Constantino and why did they dedicate their lives to advance the cause of nationalism and partisan scholarship in the Philippines?\n\nThese questions and more will be addressed at the event\, which will be held at the UP College of Media and Communication on April 18 from 2-5pm. The Constantino Foundation thanks the UP College of Media and Communication\, Alpha Phi Beta\, Asia-Europe Institute of Universiti Malaya and visiting scholar from Malaysia\, Dr. Rajah Rasiah\, for co-organizing the convocation. Detailed program to be posted.\n\nFor those unfamiliar with UP Diliman\, here’s the exact address: UP CMC Auditorium\, UP CMC\, Plaridel Hall\, Ylanan Street\, Diliman\, Quezon City\, Metro Manila.\n\nThe event is free to the public but QR code registration will be posted next week. Watch this space.\n\nSource: Constantino Foundation Facebook

SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #281 "Filipino sa Middle East\, handa ba? Possible Wartime Health Emergencies"
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar281 \n  \nWebinar #281\nApril 17\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nFilipino sa Middle East\, Handa Ba?\nPossible Wartime Health Emergencies\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Arturo M. Pesigan\nFormer WHO Representative to Yemen\nInternational Expert in Health Emergencies\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #281\nApril 17\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nFilipino sa Middle East\, Handa Ba?\nPossible Wartime Health Emergencies\n\nIn the contemporary global landscape\, the intersection of armed conflict and public health presents a formidable challenge that transcends traditional clinical boundaries. As healthcare providers and dedicated community members\, we are increasingly called to operate within environments where the structural integrity of health systems is compromised and the standard of care is dictated by extreme resource scarcity. This week’s episode serves as a critical forum to examine the multifaceted nature of health delivery during wartime\, focusing on the sophisticated coordination required to mitigate morbidity and mortality when infrastructure is under siege.\n\nWe will discuss the physiological demands of treating poly-trauma and the management of chronic conditions when pharmacotherapy pathways are severed. We will explore the shift from elective care to emergency stabilization\, emphasizing the necessity of trauma-informed care and the prevention of nosocomial infections in makeshift clinical settings. We will also analyze supply chain resilience and the adaptation of diagnostic protocols when laboratory reagents and standardized equipment are unavailable.\n\nIn addition\, we will demystify the principles of public health sovereignty and community-based first response. We will attempt to understand the epidemiological shifts that occur during displacement\, such as the increased risk of waterborne pathogens and nutritional deficiencies\, so that every participant will gain a holistic understanding of how to maintain the continuum of care.\n\nOur speaker is Dr. Arturo M. Pesigan\, who is the former WHO representative to Yemen and an international expert in health emergencies. Join us as we ensure that even in the heart of conflict\, the mandate to preserve human life remains an achievable and organized endeavor.
