Reaction Paper
The webinar which was held this 15th day of September 2020 through
zoom meeting the webinar entitled “Sustaining Students Educational Drive Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond”. The speaker is Dr. Paulo Manuel Macapagal who is a Registered Psychometrician, Psychologist, Educator, Researcher and a Clinical Psychologist. This free webinar was part of the 50th Anniversary of PASMETH in the celebration of Medical Technology Week 2020. It was an opportunity to have this webinar and gave us chance to experience being part of the event.
One of my reactions to the webinar, it was to inform, give ideas, and
motivate us students and also to professionals. Due to this pandemic, sometimes I’m having difficulty when studying online, feeling like I’m alone. Yet, the topics helped me motivated in continuing my chosen course. At first, maybe I feel uncomfortable studying online but, soon I may overcome and get used to it.
I liked the way Dr. Paulo Macapagal communicate to us audience when
every time he explains a certain topic I can easily understand what he points. He was a good speaker, talks clearly and loud, capturing our attentions to listen to him. I learned many things about coping skills, being motivated, causes of COVID-19 pandemic, roles of medical technology and medical technologists in COVID-19, and lastly, the importance of health care frontliners. I agree to what Dr. Paulo said that the 3 causes of COVID-19 pandemic are physical effects, financial problems, and mental health. This past few months I observed most of the people experienced financial problems, and mental health problems, causes insecurity, confusion, anxiety, depression, etc. Almost of the people here in the Philippines suffered from financial problems like the electricity huge amount of bills and to the futility of our economy. However, we Filipinos are known for our resiliency, whenever in times of problems in our life we can still rise and unite with other to gives strength and determination to fight for our problems.
In conclusion, the webinar was interesting and enjoyable. The
topics are brief but, explained clearly. My lasting impression to what Dr. Paulo Macapagal said was “Motivation is the answer for students to sustain educational drive, keep making yourself busy for you to forget the problems of this pandemic”. I happily to recommend it for those students and professionals for them to be motivated from the speaker.
