Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care, has urged a reevaluation of priorities, emphasizing the importance of spirituality, particularly among the youth, in response to the nation’s ongoing mental health challenges.

Father Cancino voiced his concern, noting that anxiety and depression have become widespread among young people, which he attributed primarily to the effects of technology. While technology has become an integral part of our lives, it can also hinder meaningful relationships, particularly within families.

” Nagkukulang tayo ng personal na ugnayan sa isa’t isa. Epekto rin ito ng komunikasyon. Ang ating komunikasyon ay nadadaan na lang sa mga mobile or online applications. May advantage talaga ‘yung mga apps ngunit nawawala ‘yung koneksyon bilang tao—tao sa tao, puso sa puso. Kaya tuloy marami sa ating mga kabataan o kapanalig ang nagkakaroon ng anxiety o depression,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

The priest emphasized that many individuals are neglecting their spiritual lives in favor of physical enhancements. He stressed the significance of strengthening one’s faith in the Lord as a guide to comprehending God’s designs and the value of life.

“Pinakamahalaga ay ‘yung espiritwal na buhay natin. Nafo-form natin ‘yung katawan, ang dami nating mga gym at vitamins pero paano natin alagaan ‘yung ating spiritual life? Hindi nalalayo ang mental health doon sa nurturing of faith—pagpapalalim ng ating buhay pananampalataya,” the priest said.

Fr. Cancino also discussed the Church’s role in reducing and reshaping the habits that influence how individuals cope with anxiety and excessive sorrow. The Church’s health commission is advocating mental health training in every diocese and parish. Through these efforts, Fr. Cancino said that those in need can find someone to speak to, someone to share their journey through the darkness and rediscover the light of hope that the Lord has provided.

“Sa pakikipag-usap ay madi-diskubre nila ang kagandahan ng ugnayan sa Diyos, buhay pananampalataya, pagdarasal, interpersonal relationship, at pagkakaroon ng kaibigang personal hindi lang virtual friend. Hindi ka namin pababayaan, meron kang kasama sa paglalakbay,” he said.

Father Cancino recommended that individuals experiencing mental health crises may get in touch with the National Centre for Mental Health at 1553 for landline users, 0917-899-8726 and 0966-351-4518 for Globe and TM subscribers, and 0908-639-2672 for Smart, Sun, and TNT subscribers.

In his message, Fr. Cancino reminded the faithful of the importance of spirituality and personal connections in addressing the mental health challenges faced by adolescents and the general population. Recognizing that a holistic approach to promoting mental health is essential, the Church seeks to provide both spiritual guidance and practical assistance to those in need. (Luis Angelo Sta.

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care, has urged a reevaluation of priorities, emphasizing the importance of spirituality, particularly among the youth, in response to the nation’s ongoing mental health challenges.

Father Cancino voiced his concern, noting that anxiety and depression have become widespread among young people, which he attributed primarily to the effects of technology. While technology has become an integral part of our lives, it can also hinder meaningful relationships, particularly within families.

” Nagkukulang tayo ng personal na ugnayan sa isa’t isa. Epekto rin ito ng komunikasyon. Ang ating komunikasyon ay nadadaan na lang sa mga mobile or online applications. May advantage talaga ‘yung mga apps ngunit nawawala ‘yung koneksyon bilang tao—tao sa tao, puso sa puso. Kaya tuloy marami sa ating mga kabataan o kapanalig ang nagkakaroon ng anxiety o depression,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

The priest emphasized that many individuals are neglecting their spiritual lives in favor of physical enhancements. He stressed the significance of strengthening one’s faith in the Lord as a guide to comprehending God’s designs and the value of life.

“Pinakamahalaga ay ‘yung espiritwal na buhay natin. Nafo-form natin ‘yung katawan, ang dami nating mga gym at vitamins pero paano natin alagaan ‘yung ating spiritual life? Hindi nalalayo ang mental health doon sa nurturing of faith—pagpapalalim ng ating buhay pananampalataya,” the priest said.

Fr. Cancino also discussed the Church’s role in reducing and reshaping the habits that influence how individuals cope with anxiety and excessive sorrow. The Church’s health commission is advocating mental health training in every diocese and parish. Through these efforts, Fr. Cancino said that those in need can find someone to speak to, someone to share their journey through the darkness and rediscover the light of hope that the Lord has provided.

“Sa pakikipag-usap ay madi-diskubre nila ang kagandahan ng ugnayan sa Diyos, buhay pananampalataya, pagdarasal, interpersonal relationship, at pagkakaroon ng kaibigang personal hindi lang virtual friend. Hindi ka namin pababayaan, meron kang kasama sa paglalakbay,” he said.

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr.

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care, has urged a reevaluation of priorities, emphasizing the importance of spirituality, particularly among the youth, in response to the nation’s ongoing mental health challenges.

Father Cancino voiced his concern, noting that anxiety and depression have become widespread among young people, which he attributed primarily to the effects of technology. While technology has become an integral part of our lives, it can also hinder meaningful relationships, particularly within families.

” Nagkukulang tayo ng personal na ugnayan sa isa’t isa. Epekto rin ito ng komunikasyon. Ang ating komunikasyon ay nadadaan na lang sa mga mobile or online applications. May advantage talaga ‘yung mga apps ngunit nawawala ‘yung koneksyon bilang tao—tao sa tao, puso sa puso. Kaya tuloy marami sa ating mga kabataan o kapanalig ang nagkakaroon ng anxiety o depression,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

The priest emphasized that many individuals are neglecting their spiritual lives in favor of physical enhancements. He stressed the significance of strengthening one’s faith in the Lord as a guide to comprehending God’s designs and the value of life.

“Pinakamahalaga ay ‘yung espiritwal na buhay natin. Nafo-form natin ‘yung katawan, ang dami nating mga gym at vitamins pero paano natin alagaan ‘yung ating spiritual life? Hindi nalalayo ang mental health doon sa nurturing of faith—pagpapalalim ng ating buhay pananampalataya,” the priest said.

Fr. Cancino also discussed the Church’s role in reducing and reshaping the habits that influence how individuals cope with anxiety and excessive sorrow. The Church’s health commission is advocating mental health training in every diocese and parish. Through these efforts, Fr. Cancino said that those in need can find someone to speak to, someone to share their journey through the darkness and rediscover the light of hope that the Lord has provided.

“Sa pakikipag-usap ay madi-diskubre nila ang kagandahan ng ugnayan sa Diyos, buhay pananampalataya, pagdarasal, interpersonal relationship, at pagkakaroon ng kaibigang personal hindi lang virtual friend. Hindi ka namin pababayaan, meron kang kasama sa paglalakbay,” he said.

Father Cancino recommended that individuals experiencing mental health crises may get in touch with the National Centre for Mental Health at 1553 for landline users, 0917-899-8726 and 0966-351-4518 for Globe and TM subscribers, and 0908-639-2672 for Smart, Sun, and TNT subscribers.

In his message, Fr. Cancino reminded the faithful of the importance of spirituality and personal connections in addressing the mental health challenges faced by adolescents and the general population. Recognizing that a holistic approach to promoting mental health is essential, the Church seeks to provide both spiritual guidance and practical assistance to those in need. (Luis Angelo Sta.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino prays that there would be more caretakers with a good heart to serve as inspiration to everyone in helping cure those who are sick.

The CBCP-ECHC shall disseminate, promote and defend the teaching of the Church on the subject of health care that includes in a special way, attention to and concern for the handicapped, the sick, the aged and the dying.

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care, has urged a reevaluation of priorities, emphasizing the importance of spirituality, particularly among the youth, in response to the nation’s ongoing mental health challenges.

Father Cancino voiced his concern, noting that anxiety and depression have become widespread among young people, which he attributed primarily to the effects of technology. While technology has become an integral part of our lives, it can also hinder meaningful relationships, particularly within families.

” Nagkukulang tayo ng personal na ugnayan sa isa’t isa. Epekto rin ito ng komunikasyon. Ang ating komunikasyon ay nadadaan na lang sa mga mobile or online applications. May advantage talaga ‘yung mga apps ngunit nawawala ‘yung koneksyon bilang tao—tao sa tao, puso sa puso. Kaya tuloy marami sa ating mga kabataan o kapanalig ang nagkakaroon ng anxiety o depression,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

The priest emphasized that many individuals are neglecting their spiritual lives in favor of physical enhancements. He stressed the significance of strengthening one’s faith in the Lord as a guide to comprehending God’s designs and the value of life.

“Pinakamahalaga ay ‘yung espiritwal na buhay natin. Nafo-form natin ‘yung katawan, ang dami nating mga gym at vitamins pero paano natin alagaan ‘yung ating spiritual life? Hindi nalalayo ang mental health doon sa nurturing of faith—pagpapalalim ng ating buhay pananampalataya,” the priest said.

Fr. Cancino also discussed the Church’s role in reducing and reshaping the habits that influence how individuals cope with anxiety and excessive sorrow. The Church’s health commission is advocating mental health training in every diocese and parish. Through these efforts, Fr. Cancino said that those in need can find someone to speak to, someone to share their journey through the darkness and rediscover the light of hope that the Lord has provided.

“Sa pakikipag-usap ay madi-diskubre nila ang kagandahan ng ugnayan sa Diyos, buhay pananampalataya, pagdarasal, interpersonal relationship, at pagkakaroon ng kaibigang personal hindi lang virtual friend. Hindi ka namin pababayaan, meron kang kasama sa paglalakbay,” he said.

Father Cancino recommended that individuals experiencing mental health crises may get in touch with the National Centre for Mental Health at 1553 for landline users, 0917-899-8726 and 0966-351-4518 for Globe and TM subscribers, and 0908-639-2672 for Smart, Sun, and TNT subscribers.

In his message, Fr. Cancino reminded the faithful of the importance of spirituality and personal connections in addressing the mental health challenges faced by adolescents and the general population. Recognizing that a holistic approach to promoting mental health is essential, the Church seeks to provide both spiritual guidance and practical assistance to those in need. (Luis Angelo Sta.

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care, has urged a reevaluation of priorities, emphasizing the importance of spirituality, particularly among the youth, in response to the nation’s ongoing mental health challenges.

Father Cancino voiced his concern, noting that anxiety and depression have become widespread among young people, which he attributed primarily to the effects of technology. While technology has become an integral part of our lives, it can also hinder meaningful relationships, particularly within families.

” Nagkukulang tayo ng personal na ugnayan sa isa’t isa. Epekto rin ito ng komunikasyon. Ang ating komunikasyon ay nadadaan na lang sa mga mobile or online applications. May advantage talaga ‘yung mga apps ngunit nawawala ‘yung koneksyon bilang tao—tao sa tao, puso sa puso. Kaya tuloy marami sa ating mga kabataan o kapanalig ang nagkakaroon ng anxiety o depression,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

The priest emphasized that many individuals are neglecting their spiritual lives in favor of physical enhancements. He stressed the significance of strengthening one’s faith in the Lord as a guide to comprehending God’s designs and the value of life.

“Pinakamahalaga ay ‘yung espiritwal na buhay natin. Nafo-form natin ‘yung katawan, ang dami nating mga gym at vitamins pero paano natin alagaan ‘yung ating spiritual life? Hindi nalalayo ang mental health doon sa nurturing of faith—pagpapalalim ng ating buhay pananampalataya,” the priest said.

Fr. Cancino also discussed the Church’s role in reducing and reshaping the habits that influence how individuals cope with anxiety and excessive sorrow. The Church’s health commission is advocating mental health training in every diocese and parish. Through these efforts, Fr. Cancino said that those in need can find someone to speak to, someone to share their journey through the darkness and rediscover the light of hope that the Lord has provided.

“Sa pakikipag-usap ay madi-diskubre nila ang kagandahan ng ugnayan sa Diyos, buhay pananampalataya, pagdarasal, interpersonal relationship, at pagkakaroon ng kaibigang personal hindi lang virtual friend. Hindi ka namin pababayaan, meron kang kasama sa paglalakbay,” he said.

Father Cancino recommended that individuals experiencing mental health crises may get in touch with the National Centre for Mental Health at 1553 for landline users, 0917-899-8726 and 0966-351-4518 for Globe and TM subscribers, and 0908-639-2672 for Smart, Sun, and TNT subscribers.

In his message, Fr. Cancino reminded the faithful of the importance of spirituality and personal connections in addressing the mental health challenges faced by adolescents and the general population. Recognizing that a holistic approach to promoting mental health is essential, the Church seeks to provide both spiritual guidance and practical assistance to those in need. (Luis Angelo Sta.

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care, has urged a reevaluation of priorities, emphasizing the importance of spirituality, particularly among the youth, in response to the nation’s ongoing mental health challenges.

Father Cancino voiced his concern, noting that anxiety and depression have become widespread among young people, which he attributed primarily to the effects of technology. While technology has become an integral part of our lives, it can also hinder meaningful relationships, particularly within families.

” Nagkukulang tayo ng personal na ugnayan sa isa’t isa. Epekto rin ito ng komunikasyon. Ang ating komunikasyon ay nadadaan na lang sa mga mobile or online applications. May advantage talaga ‘yung mga apps ngunit nawawala ‘yung koneksyon bilang tao—tao sa tao, puso sa puso. Kaya tuloy marami sa ating mga kabataan o kapanalig ang nagkakaroon ng anxiety o depression,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

The priest emphasized that many individuals are neglecting their spiritual lives in favor of physical enhancements. He stressed the significance of strengthening one’s faith in the Lord as a guide to comprehending God’s designs and the value of life.

“Pinakamahalaga ay ‘yung espiritwal na buhay natin. Nafo-form natin ‘yung katawan, ang dami nating mga gym at vitamins pero paano natin alagaan ‘yung ating spiritual life? Hindi nalalayo ang mental health doon sa nurturing of faith—pagpapalalim ng ating buhay pananampalataya,” the priest said.

Fr. Cancino also discussed the Church’s role in reducing and reshaping the habits that influence how individuals cope with anxiety and excessive sorrow. The Church’s health commission is advocating mental health training in every diocese and parish. Through these efforts, Fr. Cancino said that those in need can find someone to speak to, someone to share their journey through the darkness and rediscover the light of hope that the Lord has provided.

“Sa pakikipag-usap ay madi-diskubre nila ang kagandahan ng ugnayan sa Diyos, buhay pananampalataya, pagdarasal, interpersonal relationship, at pagkakaroon ng kaibigang personal hindi lang virtual friend. Hindi ka namin pababayaan, meron kang kasama sa paglalakbay,” he said.

Father Cancino recommended that individuals experiencing mental health crises may get in touch with the National Centre for Mental Health at 1553 for landline users, 0917-899-8726 and 0966-351-4518 for Globe and TM subscribers, and 0908-639-2672 for Smart, Sun, and TNT subscribers.

In his message, Fr. Cancino reminded the faithful of the importance of spirituality and personal connections in addressing the mental health challenges faced by adolescents and the general population. Recognizing that a holistic approach to promoting mental health is essential, the Church seeks to provide both spiritual guidance and practical assistance to those in need. (Luis Angelo Sta.

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

“Sa pakikipag-usap ay madi-diskubre nila ang kagandahan ng ugnayan sa Diyos, buhay pananampalataya, pagdarasal, interpersonal relationship, at pagkakaroon ng kaibigang personal hindi lang virtual friend. Hindi ka namin pababayaan, meron kang kasama sa paglalakbay,” he said.

Father Cancino recommended that individuals experiencing mental health crises may get in touch with the National Centre for Mental Health at 1553 for landline users, 0917-899-8726 and 0966-351-4518 for Globe and TM subscribers, and 0908-639-2672 for Smart, Sun, and TNT subscribers.

Cancino reminded the faithful of the importance of spirituality and personal connections in addressing the mental health challenges faced by adolescents and the general population. Recognizing that a holistic approach to promoting mental health is essential, the Church seeks to provide both spiritual guidance and practical assistance to those in need. (Luis Angelo Sta.

May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

While technology has become an integral part of our lives, it can also hinder meaningful relationships, particularly within families.

” Nagkukulang tayo ng personal na ugnayan sa isa’t isa. Epekto rin ito ng komunikasyon. Ang ating komunikasyon ay nadadaan na lang sa mga mobile or online applications. May advantage talaga ‘yung mga apps ngunit nawawala ‘yung koneksyon bilang tao—tao sa tao, puso sa puso. Kaya tuloy marami sa ating mga kabataan o kapanalig ang nagkakaroon ng anxiety o depression,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

The priest emphasized that many individuals are neglecting their spiritual lives in favor of physical enhancements. He stressed the significance of strengthening one’s faith in the Lord as a guide to comprehending God’s designs and the value of life.

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care, has urged a reevaluation of priorities, emphasizing the importance of spirituality, particularly among the youth, in response to the nation’s ongoing mental health challenges.

Father Cancino voiced his concern, noting that anxiety and depression have become widespread among young people, which he attributed primarily to the effects of technology. While technology has become an integral part of our lives, it can also hinder meaningful relationships, particularly within families.

” Nagkukulang tayo ng personal na ugnayan sa isa’t isa. Epekto rin ito ng komunikasyon. Ang ating komunikasyon ay nadadaan na lang sa mga mobile or online applications. May advantage talaga ‘yung mga apps ngunit nawawala ‘yung koneksyon bilang tao—tao sa tao, puso sa puso. Kaya tuloy marami sa ating mga kabataan o kapanalig ang nagkakaroon ng anxiety o depression,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

The priest emphasized that many individuals are neglecting their spiritual lives in favor of physical enhancements. He stressed the significance of strengthening one’s faith in the Lord as a guide to comprehending God’s designs and the value of life.

“Pinakamahalaga ay ‘yung espiritwal na buhay natin. Nafo-form natin ‘yung katawan, ang dami nating mga gym at vitamins pero paano natin alagaan ‘yung ating spiritual life? Hindi nalalayo ang mental health doon sa nurturing of faith—pagpapalalim ng ating buhay pananampalataya,” the priest said.

Fr. Cancino also discussed the Church’s role in reducing and reshaping the habits that influence how individuals cope with anxiety and excessive sorrow. The Church’s health commission is advocating mental health training in every diocese and parish. Through these efforts, Fr. Cancino said that those in need can find someone to speak to, someone to share their journey through the darkness and rediscover the light of hope that the Lord has provided.

“Sa pakikipag-usap ay madi-diskubre nila ang kagandahan ng ugnayan sa Diyos, buhay pananampalataya, pagdarasal, interpersonal relationship, at pagkakaroon ng kaibigang personal hindi lang virtual friend. Hindi ka namin pababayaan, meron kang kasama sa paglalakbay,” he said.

Father Cancino recommended that individuals experiencing mental health crises may get in touch with the National Centre for Mental Health at 1553 for landline users, 0917-899-8726 and 0966-351-4518 for Globe and TM subscribers, and 0908-639-2672 for Smart, Sun, and TNT subscribers.

In his message, Fr. Cancino reminded the faithful of the importance of spirituality and personal connections in addressing the mental health challenges faced by adolescents and the general population. Recognizing that a holistic approach to promoting mental health is essential, the Church seeks to provide both spiritual guidance and practical assistance to those in need. (Luis Angelo Sta.
