GOD’S WORDS FOR TODAY (Mk. 6:53-56) The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark
And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him, and ran about the whole neighborhood and began to bring sick people on their pallets to any place where they heard he was. And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.
REFLECTION:
The Gospel records that when Jesus disembarked from the boat the people immediately recognized him. What did they recognize in Jesus? A prophet, a healer, the Messiah, the Son of God? For sure they recognized that Jesus had power from God to heal and to make whole bodies, limbs, minds, and hearts that were beset with disease, affliction, and sin. Do you recognize the Lord's presence in your life?
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, give me eyes of faith to recognize your presence and fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may walk in your way of love and peace. Amen.
Prayer of St. Gertrude
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

FROM THE OVCA – OFFICE OF THE INTEGRATED SCHOOL PRINCIPAL:
1. With sincere gratitude to God for the safety and security of all the members of our IS community despite the recent Taal Volcano activity, we once again welcome everyone's physical presence in the campus. Likewise, we would like to express our great appreciation and commendation for our community's manifestation of the spirit of faith, zeal for service, and communion in mission amidst the challenges brought about not only by the volcanic eruption but also by the 2019 Novel Coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV, a new respiratory virus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
Thus, we would like to enjoin everyone to read, understand, and follow the health advisories officially issued by De La Salle Lipa. Let us all be socially responsible to care for our own health and for the health of others by refraining from going to school if we are feverish, have been suffering from upper respiratory tract infection, have travel history from Chinese territory in the past two weeks, or suffering from any communicable diseases or illnesses that weaken our immune system. With our Canvas Learning Management System (for Grades 4-12) and the Brothers' Little Angels webpage (Pre-school to Grade 3), we are assured of up-to-date learning experiences that suit our current contexts and needs. Always prioritize your safety and security over anything else. Rest assured of the utmost compassion,
understanding, and support from your advisers, teachers, academic service personnel, administrators, and Christian Brothers.
Also, let us try to have a better understanding of the facts about Taal Volcano eruption and 2019 -nCoV, observe the necessary precautions and hygiene, have the prudence to identify fake news and information and avoid sharing them, coordinate with proper authorities for your concerns, ask questions to clarify confusions, take safety and security instructions and evacuation drills seriously, avoid panic, and be vigilant.
As we have proven time and again, everything shall come to pass...even our worries and anxieties. In times like this, as we hope for the best and prepare for the worst, the best thing to do is to pray, hope, do not worry, and do the best that we can.
MISSION VISION
“Inspired by our faith in God, by our Catholic traditions and by the charism of St. John Baptist de La Salle educational innovator par excellence, we together and by association are committed to give quality human and Christian education to all building a
society founded on equity and justice and on sustainable and inclusive development. ”
With the spirit of faith, service, and communion in mission, Lasallians Observing Values and Excellence will always be blessed.
Animo La Salle!
Live Jesus in our hearts...forever!

FROM THE INSTITUTIONAL HEALTH SERVICES:
2019 Novel Coronavirus
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.
A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
People of all ages can be infected by the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus.
Common signs of infection include:
respiratory symptoms,
fever, cough,
shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.
In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
WHO’s standard recommendations
Frequently clean hands by using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water;
When coughing and sneezing cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – throw tissue away immediately and wash hands;
Avoid close contact with anyone who has fever and cough;
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth;
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing seek medical care early and share previous travel history with your health care provider;
Avoid spitting in public;
The consumption of raw or undercooked animal products should be avoided. Raw meat, milk or animal organs should be handled with care, to avoid cross-contamination with uncooked foods, as per good food safety practice.
Wash Your Hands Often to Stay Healthy
You can help yourself and your loved ones stay healthy by washing your hands often, especially during these key times;
Before and after eating food
Before, during, and after preparing food
Before and after treating a cut or wound
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
After using the toilet
After touching garbage
After touching an animal, animal feed, or animal waste
After handling pet food or pet treats
Follow Five Steps to Wash Your Hands the Right Way
Washing your hands is easy, and it’s one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs. Clean hands can stop germs from spreading from one person to another and throughout an entire community—from your home and workplace to childcare facilities and hospitals.
Follow these five steps every time.
1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/when-how-handwashing.html NOTE:
For students/LPs with acute respiratory infection, fever and cough are advised to seek medical care as soon as possible and secure from his/her attending physician to be submitted to IHS before reporting to school/work.
LPs are advised to report and send to IHS those students who have complaints or manifestations mentioned above. Upon assessment at IHS, if the student is sick, he/she will be advised to go home. Parents/guardian will be informed.
Advice on Wearing Face Masks
According to the World Health Organization, wearing medical mask is one of the preventive measures to limit spread of certain respiratory diseases, including 2019-nCoV. However, the use of a mask alone is insufficient to provide the adequate level of protection and other equally relevant measures be adopted. If masks are to be used, this measure can be combined with hand hygiene and other infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to prevent human to human transmission of 2019 nCoV.
Wearing medical mask when not indicated may cause unnecessary cost, procurement burden and create a false sense of security that can lead to neglecting other essential measures such as hand hygiene practices. Furthermore, using a mask incorrectly may hamper its effectiveness to reduce the risk of transmission. For individuals without respiratory symptoms, a medical mask is not required, as no evidence is available on its usefulness to protect non-sick persons.
If you choose to wear a face mask, be sure to cover mouth and nose, avoid touching mask once it is on.
Discard single-use mask after use and wash hands after removing masks.
Treatment
There is no specific medicine recommended to prevent or treat the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Antibiotics are not effective in preventing and treating the new coronavirus. Antibiotics do not work against viruses, only bacteria.
https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public NOTE:
For students/LPs with acute respiratory infection, fever and cough are advised to seek medical care as soon as possible and secure from his/her attending physician to be submitted to IHS before reporting to school/work.
LPs are advised to report and send to IHS those students who have complaints or manifestations mentioned above. Upon assessment at IHS, if the student is sick, he/she will be advised to go home. Parents/guardian will be informed.
