The film is a true to life story, it was created

and published a long time ago since 1996.

At first I was just watching the movie for the
sake of making this reflection. But I
realized, the film is giving  the message to
learn something deep and enhance my
critical thinking. This documentary is an
eye-opener that nothing will happen unless
we move or somebody will move. It was like
a spark, that when it started to flame up, it
will crawl up to its end point. The same as
the main character did. She demanded for
a change as so the community then follows.
Every second counts by watching the film,
every single message has a powerful
meaning. It shows the true face of reality
and conviction; dignity, dedication, loyalty
as its soul. A positive outlook and an open
heart. A truly remarkable film with heart and
compassion.

Ria Espinosa portrayed the role of a newly

licensed young doctor who ought to join the
“Doctor to the Barrios” organization to help
the places where there is a need for
medical assistances. There she met Norma
a midwife located in the Barrio of Mulanay
in Quezon. Norma became her friend as
she stayed on the said place.

Dr. Ria Espinosa is an inspiring individual,

very rare person with a kind-heart who is
eager to tackles the society’s need for
sympathy. Her driving motivation in serving
the community is a gradual change of being
new into something usual. A heart with the
passion to help; and the passion to change
for the betterment. She came to realize that
health is not the only problem of the barrio.
Many other concerns should be considered.
The light supply, the water system, the
environmental threats, cleanliness and
orderliness in the community.

As the primary health provider in the

community  nurses are leaders in the
community. The role of the practice nurse in
primary health care is managing and
supervising the practice nurse resource.
Based in my understanding, as a nurse or
student nurse the concept of leadership in
doing so it explores the perspectives in
building rapport relationship and
responsibility in serving the community. In
this movie, being a good community nurses
leader—our responsibility is the health
state, mental, and social well-being in the
community. Primary health care nurses see
the participation of people as a group or
individually in planning and implementing
their health care as a human right and duty.
As a nurse, we help others despite of
everyone’s differences wether you are rich,
poor, rebel or non-rebel clients. The good
concept of leadership must acknowledge
the dignity, culture, values, beliefs and
rights of individuals and groups.
Many areas of nursing practice including
lifestyle education, aged care, women’s
health, men’s health, infection control,
chronic disease management including
tuberculosis, asthma and malnutrition,
immunization, mental health, maternal and
child health, health promotion, population
health, wound management, and much
more.

Our focus is delivering continuous care to

their patients that results in improved health
outcomes.

The nurses goal is to incorporates personal

care with health promotion, the prevention
of illness and community development. We
maximise community and individual self-
reliance, participation and control. We
ensure collaboration and partnership with
other sectors to promote public health and
give priority to those most in need and
addresses health inequalities.
