HISTORY of NURSING in the PHILIPPINES A.1.1. Early Beliefs and Practices (Diseases and Their Causes and Treatment Were Shrouded with Mysticism and Superstitions.) 1 HISTORY OF NURSING IN THE PHILIPPINES A.1.1. Early Beliefs and Practices (Diseases and their causes and treatment were shrouded with mysticism and superstitions.) 1. Beliefs about causation of disease: a.) another person (an enemy or a witch) b.) evil spirits 2. Belief that evil spirits could be driven away by persons with powers to expel demons. Belief in special gods of healing, with the priest -physician (called “word doctors”) as intermediary. If they used leaves or roots, they were called herb doctors (“herbolarios”) Early Care of the Sick The early Filipinos subscribed to superstitious belief and practices in relation to health and sickness. Herb men were called “herbicheros” meaning one who practiced witchcraft. Persons suffering from diseases without any identified cause were believed bewitched by “mangkukulam” or “mangagaway”. Difficult childbirth and some diseases (called “pamao”) were attributed to “nunos”. Midwives assisted in childbirth. During labor, the “mabuting hilot” (good midwife) was called in. If the birth became difficult, witches were supposed to be the cause. To disperse their influence, gunpowder were exploded from a bamboo cane close to the head of the sufferer. Health Care During the Spanish Regime The religious orders exerted their efforts to care for the sick by building hospitals in different parts of the Philippines. The earliest hospitals were: • Hospital Real de Manila (1577) – it was established mainly to care for the Spanish king’s soldiers, but also admitted Spanish civilians; founded by Gov. Francisco de Sande. • San Lazaro Hospital (1578) – founded by Brother Juan Clemente and was administered for many years by the Hospitalliers of San Juan de Dios; built exclusively for patients with leprosy. • Hospital de Indios (1586) – established by the Franciscan Order; service was in general supported by alms and contributions from charitable persons. • Hospital de Aguas Santas (1590) – established in Laguna; near a medicinal spring, founded by Brother J. Baustista of the Franciscan Order. • San Juan de Dios Hospital (1596) founded by the Brotherhood of Misericordia and administered by the Hopsitaliers of San Juan de Dios; support was delivered from alms and rents; rendered general health service to the public.

    2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages 3 City Planning and Development Office i 2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages Message from the Mayor Our beloved Iloilo City has progressively built on its glorious past to usher in a present, which is a source of pride and hope for our people, and an inspiring benchmark for our neighbors in Western Visayas, and beyond. Yet we are not a people who rest on our laurels. We aim higher. We move further. We scale greater heights. We level up. To level up Iloilo City, we begin with the end in mind. We need to envision a future where our city is livable, sustainable and resilient. We aim for a culturally vibrant and economically well-developed city where governance is a shared responsibility and where people are innovative and creative. We dream big, yet we stay realistic. We know that our collective journey as Ilonggos towards our envisioned future has to factor in developments in our external environment. Prudence likewise dictates that our resolve to level-up needs to consider our strengths and weaknesses as a local government unit and as a community. We need to assess our competencies and our resources, particularly our land and its current and future uses, so we are well-informed in determining the best development strategy to level up Iloilo City. I am, therefore, most pleased that we have already crafted the 2021-2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), which is a product of a series of consultations with various sectors.

  • Republic of the Philippines
    Republic of the Philippines Located in south-eastern Asia, the Philippine archipelago (projected population 90.50 million in 2008)1 lies between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea and encompasses 300,000 square kilometres of land and water. Although the 7,107 islands are favourably placed in relation to south-eastern Asia's main water bodies, they are located in the typhoon belt and affected by cyclonic storms each year. The Republic of the Philippines is divided into 81 provinces with 136 cities. Manila (population 1.58 million)2 is the capital and the surrounding National Capital Region of Metropolitan Manila (population at least 11 million)3 is the country’s political, economic and social centre. The United Nations Human Development Index ranks Philippines 90 out of 177 countries worldwide (value 0.771). This places the Philippines in the group of countries with medium human development.4 According to the 4-part typology developed by the International Observatory on End of Life Care, the Philippines is categorised as a country in Group 3: that is, with localised palliative care provision.5 1 Palliative care service provision Current services In the Philippines, 34 organisations provide 108 hospice and palliative care services (Table 1). Alongside these providers, a wide range of groups give compassionate care to the dying.
