With the establishment of the Republic Act No. 11036, more popularly known as the
Mental Health Act, improvement in the mental, neurologic, and psychosocial health took a
step forward in the Philippines. This law, which was signed on June 2018, gave specific
provisions in different aspects of delivery of mental health services to Filipinos. This law
proved very useful in the dilemma faced in the following case where a potential problem
in confidentiality was encountered.

5.Survey of stress, anxiety and depression among Filipino military personnel: A pilot study
The Philippine Journal of Psychiatry 2018;40(2):39-
Objectives:
This study aims to determine the frequency
of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Anxiety and
Depression among military personnel as well as describe
their coping style.
Methodology:
This was a cross
sectional descriptive study of military personnel. (Member
of the Armed Forces of the Philippines), in active service i.e.
must have been deployed to a combat zone at some point in
time, drawn by convenience sampling. They were screened
using the Filipino version of the Zung Depression Scale and
the Hamilton Anxiety Scale after securing voluntary consent
of the subjects.
Results:
There were 673 servicemen who
participated in the study with many undergoing advancement
schooling at the time of interview. Responses of only 598
subjects were included in the analysis since the others failed
to complete the standardized demographic profile data
sheet. Seven (1.1 %) were noted to be anxious; and 5 (0.8%)
were depressed while no one were noted to have PTSD. The
most common coping mechanisms in handling stress were
smoking cigarettes, talking to a friend or drinking alcoholic
beverages.
Conclusion
The prevalence of anxiety,
depression and absence of PTSD were lower than expected
but this may be due to the fact that at the time of interview
the servicemen were not coming directly from a combat
zone but had been taking up further studies over the past
1- 3 months in Metro Manila

Disability is a major public health problem, particularly in developing countries, where there is a close link between poverty and disability. The complex nature of disability allows it to be addressed from a number of different perspectives. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is a holistic approach towards disability which is currently being supported in many parts of the world, including Papua New Guinea (PNG). Unfortunately CBR is frequently implemented in resource-poor contexts, which limits the scope for research. As a result little effort is put into determining a need before CBR programs are established, or into evaluating CBR programs following implementation. This research in the Middle Ramu, Madang Province, tested a method for acquiring information for the purposes of CBR planning in PNG. The method used an adapted form of the Ten Questions Screen for Childhood Disability. Quantitative and qualitative methods were further utilized to determine the types of disability presenting, the biomedical and perceived causes of the various disabilities, help-seeking behaviours, the disabled individual's participation in village activities, and the needs of both disabled individuals and their caregivers. A total of 158 disabled individuals were identified in a population of 4946 people and 20 in-depth interviews were conducted. The data obtained were analyzed to formulate an appropriate 'CBR package' that would cater for the specific needs of this population in the Middle Ramu. Evaluation of the basic survey method revealed that it was more sensitive than other methods previously tried in PNG, with an overall disability prevalence of 3.2% obtained. Qualitative methods allowed the fieldworkers to get a much deeper insight into the feelings and perceptions of disabled individuals. The methods tested for this research in the Middle Ramu could have application for CBR workers in other parts of PNG.
