III. Essay: A brief but comprehensive summary of what you have learned about 40%
Protocol in our DIPROCS class ending the essay with your comments

- The first thing that I have learned so far regarding protocol in our DIPROCS class is that
Protocol in diplomacy serves as an etiquette in the international arena and it also takes
into account things such as traditions, practices, and laws of the host country. I also
learned things such as the functions of protocol officers, the attributes of protocols, and
also the three levels of protocol which are official and diplomatic, corporate, and
Personal. What piqued me the most was the simulation since me and the class was able
to experience firsthand even though it was online on how to present the credentials.
That is why I can that I am really looking forward to learn more about diplomatic
protocols and its etiquettes
