Mr. J.M.Delantar
Pretend that you are a Social Worker confronted with the following cases How will you handle the case?
How will you manage the situation, applying the core values and principles of a social work? Answer the
questions on a separate .sheet of paper.
CASE 1: Ana is a senior high school student who, like everybody, is affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic. She graduated with honors in a virtual graduation of her school. His father, an
OFW, whom she has not seen for five years was expected to attend the graduation ceremony but failed
to come home due to the pandemic. Her mother, a typical housewife that does buy and sell for
additional income was considered Persons Under Investigation (PUI) due to the virus and had to be
quarantined. Unfortunately, she needed to be hospitalized eventually. Now, all alone in the house being
the only child, and with all these unfortunate circumstances happening to her, she felt that her world
was falling apart. Moreover, she started blaming herself and developed the idea that she was cursed.
Consequently, she started to disconnect herself from the outside world, even with her friends. She was
afraid that others might be included in her “curse” of misery and misfortune if she talked to them.
CASE 2:
Due to the pandemic, the government imposed nationwide quarantine which resulted to increase of
domestic violence .One of the victims of domestic violence is Maria, a 15-year-old girl, who also acts as
the mother to her eight siblings after her mother passed away. Her father earns a living as a cook in the
school canteen. But due to the pandemic crisis, her father lost his job and there was no source of
income for the family. What makes Maria suffers the most is when they are all beaten up by their father
especially when he is under the influence of alcohol. Her father hits her and her siblings when she
cannot give a single penny to him, and when there is no food to eat.
