NIÑO DE CEBU O Señor Santo Niño, You are our king and our god, we worship you, you are our strong Defender, we turn to you; You are the Patron of Cebu and Philippines, we come to you; You have made extraordinary wonders. Through your miraculous Image in these chosen islands, remember us. Look down at this poor soul that comes to You for help. Lead us with your wisdom, discipline us with Your Truth, console us with Your Tenderness, protect us with Your Might. We consecrate today our thoughts to You, only with You shall they be occupied; our words, only of you shall they speak; our sufferings, that we may endure them for your sake.

Help us to overcome sensuality with strict discipline, avariciousness with generosity, anger with gentleness, indolence with zealous industry. Make us wise in counsel, courageous in danger, patient in adversity, humble in prosperity. Teach us, dear Santo Niño, how worthless is the world, how sublime is heaven, how brief is time, how long is eternity.

  • 20 Ebulletin Sugbuanon 2019
    October 24, 2019 Dear fellow Rotarians Today, we are celebrating World Polio Day! And it's best celebrated with friends and families, so today we jointly meet with our Daughter Clubs Rotary Club of Metro Cebu and Rotary Club of Banilad Metro. Last Sunday, Oct 20 we successfully had our Walk to End Polio, participated with various clubs of District 3860. Thank you, dear members of RC Cebu who joined, and most especially to the spouses and children who woke up very early on that Sunday. Kudos to PP Bernard Sia for spearheading that event! Special mention to PP Jonie Gesalem for the unlimited Dunkin Donuts and Coffee, to Treas. Stanley Go and Virginia for the Tents and very delicious Jumbo Hotdog meals and to Rotarian Ed Garcia for those Hearty Breakfast at Griffin Hotel. Yesterday, we had our Polio Immunization at different barangay health centers and our Club went to Tejero Health Center where more than 50 babies received immunizations. We were able to witness how Polio vaccines were administered . Thank you once again PP Jonathan and Dunkin Donuts for the snacks we distributed to the health workers and mothers. Another activity was simultaneously done yesterday as PP Bing Martinez and Rotarian Joey Ontanillas with Engr Mike Manlangit did a site visit to Tabuelan and Daan Bantayan National High schools for our Global Grants Projects. Before the end of the week, Wash Project Committee will be traveling South to do the ocular visits to the different Public Schools for our Wash Project Proposal. Today, it's going to be a big day for each one of us as Rotary Club Cebu launches our Ride to End Polio.

  • Leadership, Management and Conflict Management Styles Among Nurse Middle Managers
    Rubio, M. A. E., and Picardo, R. L. Leadership, management and conflict management styles among nurse middle managers Mara Angustia E. Rubio1, and Resty L. Picardo2 Date Received: 29th of September, 2017 Date Accepted: 1st of December , 2017 ABSTRACT The study utilized a correlational, quantitative design where nurse managers and staff nurses were made to answer an adapted questionnaire. The study used complete enumeration with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was conducted in Talisay District Hospital to assess the styles on leadership, management and conflict management and their correlation. Findings revealed that the most common leadership style is democratic while for management style is the mixed or the transitional style and collaborating for conflict management style. Authoritative leaders utilized the mixed or transitional management style and the collaborating conflict managing style. Democratic leaders utilized the mixed or transitional management style and the collaborating conflict management style. Laissez-faire leaders utilized the mixed or transitional management style and the collaborating conflict management style. A pattern can be seen that, in all types of leadership, be it authoritative, democratic or laissez-faire, the mixed or transitional management style is common. Further, the most common conflict management utilized is the collaborating style. Thus, it can be inferred that different leaders utilize a mixed or transitional management style and that when they are in conflict, they manage them through the collaborative conflict management style. There was no noteworthy relationship between the styles on conflict management and leadership styles, amongst styles on conflict management and management and lastly, amongst styles on leadership and management.

  • Difference on the Incidence of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Between Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Women Admitted in Metro Cebu, Philippines
    Mindanao Journal of Science and Technology Vol. 12 (2014) 171-178 Difference on the Incidence of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) between Diabetic and Non-diabetic Women Admitted in Metro Cebu, Philippines Joan L. Peteros, Lorre May K. Fernandez, Charlon L. Oncenes and Edward L. Laurence Opena* College of Arts and Sciences Cebu Normal University Osmeña Boulivard, Cebu City, 6000, Philippines *[email protected] Date received: April 14, 2014 Revision accepted: August 04, 2014 ___________________________________________ Abstract This paper evaluates the relationship of women who were admitted with urinary tract infection (UTI) and its relationship with diabetes in Metro Cebu. Accessing the medical log books of the different hospitals, it has been found out that 61% of those admitted of the infection have beyond the normal sugar level, possibly due to diabetes. Statistics also showed that there is a significant difference between those with and without diabetes among all hospitals. It has also been noted that cases of UTI are becoming more frequent in older women. This shows that in the said locality, there is a strong chance that UTI could be secondary disease due to high blood sugar level. However, other pertinent cause should not be ruled out. Hence, other diagnostic test results should be considered as inclusion to the probable cause of UTI. Keywords: diabetes, urinary tract infection, women, Cebu 1. Introduction Urinary tract infection (UTI) is said to be a serious health problem affecting millions of people each year. This is a common bacterial infection in women of all ages. The risk of UTI increases with harmful changes in the immune system which also leads to the easier invasion and colonization in the lining of the bladder by uropathogens (U.S.
