Additionally, reports show only 2-3 mental health workers attend to every 100,000 patients in the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the roundtable discussion, a publicity material on the anatomy of a good public servant based on Sikolohiyang Pilipino will be released. \u201c#Halalan2022: Anatomiya ng Karapat-dapat Iboto\u201d will guide voters on how to best judge candidates aiming to earn their vote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To provide a recap of the past month-long celebration, UP MHM 2021 will formally close the event with a culminating video.
