The Survey
According to Norwood (2020), young people are not only curious about politics; they are actively involved. Gen Z is more diversified and more politically aware than Millennials and Gen X. It is a generation that is concerned about social issues, wants to address them, and most importantly sees politics or the use of political institutions as a means of resolving those issues.

Also, asked in the survey, if the respondent is not interested in politics since it does not affect their wellbeing. The range was 5 if strongly agree to 1 if strongly disagree. Gen X has the highest average of 2.83, Millennials with 2.40, and the lowest average Gen Z at 1.92. The group interpreted that some Gen X and Millennials may be apolitical.
Conclusion of the Survey
To sum it up, the results of the survey shows that self-care is actually evident and people shows signs of practicing self-care in various ways. Based on the results, it is safe to assume that the respondents can further improve on taking care of themselves. Dr. Manuel Dayrit may have mentioned that Filipinos have a hard time applying self-care, but actually Filipinos were unaware that they have been doing it already for a long time. Self-care is definitely beneficial for us as we get to love and cherish not only our outer self but also our inner self. It is not selfish as it doesn't have the intention of harming others, but instead it has the intention to help us be mindful of the changes happening in our thoughts and behavior.
