The term "People Power Revolution" typically refers to a series of non-violent uprisings and movements in which ordinary citizens, often mobilized through mass protests and civil disobedience, play a significant role in overthrowing a government or bringing about political change.

When the EDSA People Power Revolution, commonly referred to as the "bloodless revolution," broke out in 1986, the Philippines received praise from all across the world. Every Filipino in that era has a vivid memory of the important national event that occurred on February 25, 1986. By successfully overthrowing a tyrant through a demonstration that did not tolerate violence or bloodshed, EDSA demonstrated the genuine empowerment of democracy. The only means by which the Filipinos were able to escape the iron fists of President Ferdinand Marcos were their prayers and rosaries.

The Tinikiling is considered a national dance in the Philippines and almost every Filipino knows how to do it. Since it’s a dramatic dance, it’s usually performed on special occasions like traditional Filipino festivals or at school and theater performances. To avoid getting their ankles caught in between the poles, dancers must listen closely and follow the rhythm of the music.

Sisig refers to a finely chopped pork dish of Filipino origin. The popular cuisine sisig is created from the ears, cheeks, and jowls of a pig, which are then boiled, chopped, and grilled before being seasoned with salt, pepper, and vinegar. The meat is mixed with fried onions, chili, and chicken livers, and a raw egg is typically placed on top of the entire dish.
For added flavour, some chefs like to add mayonnaise or pork cracklings to the meal.

The world's longest Christmas celebration takes place in the Philippines. The Ber Months last from September through December, but its official end won't come until mid-January. Most Filipino families will start singing carols around the house and some will start making shopping lists for their Noche Buena.

It is also a representation of the Filipino people, a manifestation of our love for celebrations, and an occasion that brings out the best aspects of our culture, including hospitality, family commitment, and, in some cases because the holiday season aligns with typhoon season, generosity and quickness to offer assistance.

My definition of health is more than the absence of any illness or disease, it is also being mentally, socially and physically well. Health is maintaining this kind of lifestyle, a healthy diet which consist of food to improve your wellbeing, being physically active, mentally stable and having a good social life. These factors are what makes up a healthy person.

Personally being healthy is not just being physically well, but also being free of stress, financially stable, feeling at peace and happy with where you are in life. Having a reliable social circle will help you achieve a healthy lifestyle, not only will they push you to be a better version of your self but they will support you when ever you are in need.

Refugees and asylum seeker faces difficulties to accessing Health care and services in Australia due to multiple Social determinants that they may experience. There are various different social determinants that have listed by World Health Organisation (WHO) that influence their health and wellbeing. Three examples that affects migrants and refugees are:

Social inclusion and non-discrimination
Due to discrimination, immigrants and refugees may not be given access to essential services and resources, which could have negative effects on their mental health and wellbeing. Creating a welcoming environment would make them feel accepted.

Education
The lack of recognition of their qualifications makes it difficult for immigrants to find a job. The lack of acknowledgement for their education will cause them to have a harder starting point in a new country.

Income and social protection
Migrants and refugees have trouble with income due to the discrimination, unrecognized qualifications and language barrier. This affects their access to proper Health care.

This framework has provided me information that I will need to apply in the future for my Nursing Practice. For future Nurses it is important to be aware of our own cultural values, beliefs, religion and tradition and how it may impact the health care that we provide. By understanding my own cultural values it allows me to reflect on my own decisions so that I could provide a flexible and responsive care to people from different ethnicities to interact in a manner that is culturally appropriate.

When providing culturally responsive care to people from migrant and refugee backgrounds it is important to keep in my mind to be culturally sensitive and showing respect to the patients regardless of their background, this could be attained by not being bias, judgmental, ignorant and inadequate communication.

Personally it is important to apply all aspects of the competency standard 12.3 but the most important one for me would be effective communication, by communicating in a well and respected manner and in a way you would both understand, it would lead to a better care provided by Nurses.

Country: Afghanistan
The federal government has announced a significant increase in Australia's refugee intake, granting an additional 16,500 humanitarian places to refugees fleeing Afghanistan over the next four years.

Oral Health:
An important public health problem that can result in long-term morbidity is poor dental health. People from refugee-like circumstances frequently experience dental caries, tooth loss, and peridontal disease.

Immunisation:
Due to their history of forced migration and refugee status, individuals from refugee-like backgrounds have a substantial risk of arriving in Australia with inadequate or no immunizations. Immunization programs should be implemented in the refugee camp so that they are protected from vaccine preventable disease.

Mental Health:
Many adults and kids with backgrounds like refugees have gone through trauma, conflict, family separation, and serious human rights violations like torture and physical and sexual assault.
