 Activity One
INTRODUCTION

Education gives knowledge of the world and change it into something better, it

helps build opinions and have point of view on things in life. Education makes human

capable of interpreting things, among other things. It is not just about the lessons in

textbooks but it is also about the lesson in life. It is the most powerful weapon in life

that the human can have to change the world (Doumbia, 2013).

In 2011, Department of Education (DepEd) administered a shift of education

system from the ten years of basic education to a 12-years program through the

initiative called K-12 Education Plan sponsored by DepEd. Many people were

resistant to a new education system. Despite that, the government still implemented it.

K – 12 is an educational system under DepEd that aims to enhance learners

basic skills, produce competent citizens, and prepare graduates for lifelong learning

and employment. “K” stand for Kindergarten and “12” refers to the succeeding 12

years of basic education. 6 years of elementary education, 4 years of junior high

school, and 2 years of senior high school.

As a part of a k-12 curriculum, students will undergo a 12-years program that

gives them sufficient time to master their skill and absorbs basic competencies. The

new curriculum gives students chance to choose among the three tracks namely;

Academics, Technical-Vocational-Livelihood, and Sports and Arts.

Grade 12 students have a subject called Work Immersion. It refers to the part

of the Senior High School Curriculum consisting of 80 hours of work experience

which Grade 12 students will undergo to expose them to the actual workplace setting

and to enrich the competencies provided by the school under the supervision of the
School Head and designated personnel of the partner. The said immersion is done

outside of the school premises depending on the students selected strand. This activity

will help them familiarize themselves to their target job’s purpose to look in the actual

field.

the course requirement. A Senior High School students has to undergo Work

Immersion in an industry that directly relates to the students postsecondary goal.

related environment related to their filed of specialization to enhance their

competencies.

At the end of the work immersion students, students are able to;

1. Gain relevant and practical skills under the guidance of industry experts and

workers;

3. Enhance their technical knowledge and skills;

4. Enrich their skills in communications and human relations; and

Time and Location of the Work Immersion Program

students required to undergo a work immersion program. The school required the

students to work for 80 hours, the lowest time schedule to the guidelines of

memorandum form given by the DepEd. As they undergo work immersion program,

every students has a designated work place that related to their strand. The author of
this narrative report was also given a work place to harness her skills and as a part of

Particularly, the trainee was assigned to the Office of the Mayor at

Municipality of Carmona in Barangay 2. Whereas, the trainee was instructed to work

accordingly with the working schedule of the department which starts from 8:00 a.m.

to 5:00 p.m. every Monday to Friday.

 Activity Two
THE PARTNER INSTITUTION

Historical Background

In the 16th century, a Spanish colonial resettlement program was implemented

across wide areas of what came to be known as the province of Cavite. The program

was designed to integrate the Filipinos into the religious and political institutions of

the Spaniards Silang was the first stablished as mission town in 1595. Together with

the other mission towns in the province. Silang became one of the centers of religious

and economic activities in the first centuries of the Spanish colonial rule.

Carmona used to be a barrio of the Mission Town of Silang. It was locally

knows as “Latag”, a Tagalog word for “plain” due to the numerous hills and plains in

the area. At that time, Barrio Latag was just a small farming community with a very

small population. As the population in Barrio Latag rapidly increased, religious and

political separation from the town of Silang was later sought from Spain. Barrio Latag

eventually became an independent municipality on February 20, 1857 by virtue of the

Royal Decree issued by the King of Spain through Governor General Fernando de

Norzagaray.

The name Carmona was adopted as a sign of gratitude to the Spanish officials

who influenced the Central Government at the time of separation of the barrio. With

boundaries properly delineated and church established, Carmona started its own

religious and political administration. The people of Carmona actively participated in

the revolution against the Spaniards. It was also witnessed the Filipinos’ resistance

against the Japanese forces. During the Japanese occupation, some of Carmona’s
prominent houses were used as Japanese headquarters while the hills became

stronghold of Filipino revolutionaries.

After the war, Carmona began to find its path towards economic and political

stabilization. During this period, the provision of a stable means of livelihood for all

the people became top priority. Since Carmona was basically agricultural, the

communal agricultural lands were offered to the farmers for cultivation through

lottery. This practice, held every three years, was locally known as “Sorteo”. Since

then, the festive has been embedded into the municipality’s traditional procedures on

land ownership. To this day, farm lots are being raffled off to interested farmers,

lucky winners are awarded the right to till and developed a certain section of the

communal lands. The traditional practice of Sorteo defuses agrarian unrest and

decreases tensions on land conflicts.

Carmona was composed of different barangay and it starts with Barngay

Cabilang Baybay. In the Spanish period, this place was only a cousin inhabited by

some families. They are their only at home and working as a farmer. At the beginning,

this place has no name. To indicate that Cabeza de Barangay is facing the court and

suggests roles as it was on the riverbank and on the other side is a field. The request

was confirmed by the Governor General Leonard Wood. Other than that was

barangay Bancal wherein many years ago, this place was mostly forest of most trees

and called “Bancal”. It was yellow and good wood for building houses and firewood.

Almost all of its inhabitants have a Bancal House. In Japan, people who live here are

firing timber and selling bakeries. Due to importance of this tree, the village was

called by Bancal. Aside from that, Barangay Maduya is one of the barrios in Carmona

and it was considered as the largest barangay in the municipality. It was in the eastern

part of the town with a kilometer length of the national highway to Biñan, Laguna. It
has a plain that causes farming to become the main occupation of its inhabitants.

Currently, these factories are located in the area of the production of Carmona

people’s livelihood and status. Additionally, Maduya is just one of the Sitio Latag’s

Villages. There are only five homes in which ten families live. When Carmona

acquired the town’s civilization, it became a village. The name Maduya is derived

from “Maruya”, a meal from rice flour accompanied by sliced macaques that are

mixed together and served as a snack. Most of the locals are cooking it and selling all

over the town with a cry “Maruya” Eventually, the vnedors shouted “Maduya” which

became the name of the barangay.

Furthermore, Barangay Lantic was in the western part of the Carmona.

According to the elders in this area, this place was once called. Several Silang decided

to clean up this place and build a house and take care of this area. Eventually, they

agreed to name the village. Someone may propose the name of the house in the “L”

range, others are forwarded. Finally, the “Lantic” has been named the given name.

Barangay Milagrosa, on the other hand, is the area which was once part of the vast

land of Yaptinchay of Biñan, Laguna. Understanding the inhabitants that the hacienda

was part of Carmona in 1935. People began to strive to restore ownership to the

Carmona people. They formed an organization called “Organizational Opportunity”

under the leadership of Mayor Mapanoo. Many conclusions have occurred that almost

of the organization has felt frustrated but citizens have strong stand. In 1938, under

the leadership of Mayor Mapanoo and Mr. Juan Alumia, with three people trucks,

they went Malacañang to bring their request to President Quezon. They carefully

studied their affairs of the president and once again proved that there was a social

justice. After the Second World War, the earth was divided and provided to the
landless. This place was named “Milagrosa”, since the return of the people of the land

was a miracle.

Moreover, Barngay Mabuhay was founded the Villages New Town that is

formerly named Mabuhay. Seven families began living in the western part of

Carmona. By 1938, the provincial road leading up to this village to Silang was built to

improve the lives of people. This is what motivates the neighboring villages to

evacuate this place. Most of the inhabitants live by farming in the farm and in the

nearby hills. After the war the municipal council changed the name of the village and

called “Mabuhay” which means a new life in development (The Official Website of

Carmona, 2018).

All in all, given all the historic stories of the municipality, it is now headed by

a very dedicated servant, Mayor Roy M. Loyola with the help of its Sangguniang

Bayan members. Continually, the municipality is growing undeniably with several

awards and distinction for its good governance.

conduct of work immersion program are scheduling events and services for the citizen

of Carmona and photocopying documents and ask them to enlist their name,

signature, office where they work at and how many papers they spent from

photocopying. The author were also ask her to deliver and receive some documents in

other offices and take attendance to the people that are gathering for meetings in her

assigned office and take pictures of them.

Reflective Journal

Day 1 (January 20, 2020)

This was her first day of work immersion. All of the students that are ought to

undergo work immersion, attended flag ceremony and orientation ceremony at

Municipal Town Plaza of Carmona held by the mayor, principal, teachers and some of

the personnel of the said institution. After the ceremony and some announcements, the

work immersion trainees are guided and assisted to their assigned places by the

municipal hall staff. The author of this manuscript were assigned to the office of the

mayor together with her colleagues. Their supervisor, Leonard Daniel M. Diaz,

introduced the students to the personnel that will look after them and ask that

colleague to look after the trainees. The author was introduced to her superior,

Edmund P. Purification, the sport and games inspector in the extension office of the

mayor and assigned to schedule events and services in plaza, swimming pool,

penthouse and tent and vehicles for the deceased and Mr. Voltaire Tanjuangco, the

messenger and operator of photocopying equipment. In the assigned office of the

trainee, many persons go there because it is the office wherein the staff of the

municipal hall, the barangay captain and other personnel held their meetings. The first

task assigned to her was to deliver documents to the different offices inside the hall

such as Municipal Treasury office (MTO), Municipal Budget Office (MBO),

Sangguniang Bayan Office (SBO), Municipal Health Center (MHO), Municipal

Information, Tourism, Culture and Arts Office (MITCAO). She was instructed by the

coach in the office to type some documents for basketball and volleyball tournament.

It was in the afternoon that her superior decided to teach her on how to schedule

events and services so that when someone came to schedule something and her

superior is not present, the task will be assigned to her. She was also instructed that
every morning, she must open the computer so that she can operate it when her

superior is not around.

The author was feeling excited and nervous because she is not in her usual

place like in a school, she was in a different environment wherein she is not familiar

on how things work there. During the time that she spent in her assigned office, there

were new experience for her to learn. She learned what the purpose of her assigned

office, she encountered different people and experience to operate things that she

doesn’t know about. When she learn how to manage scheduling events and services,

she thought that it was easy to handle and access. She is still unfamiliar to her

surroundings but she thought that she should learn and familiarize the office, know

the people there and learn what they are doing in that office so that she can be useful

and handle the task that are given to her.

Day 2 (21 January 2020)

Early in the morning, she starts her day by opening the computer that the

office was using to schedule events and services. It was 10:10 in the morning when

the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (BDRRMC) held their

meeting in the extension office of the mayor. Mr. Edmund P. Purification, her

supervisor, asked her to go in the third floor to deliver message saying that they need

10 chairs in the extension office. Her supervisor, Mr. Leonard Daniel M. Diaz ask her

to take their attendance so she did what her supervisor asked, she waited for everyone

to have them sign the attendance and give it to her supervisor. After lunch break,

meeting was held around 1:30 PM, the meeting was composed of different office

personnel, while they’re talking, Mr. Edmund P. Purification asked her (the author) to

take their photo as a proof that they did attend the meeting.
 This was her second day of her work immersion and she is still unfamiliar to

her surroundings, she was also nervous as what she would do in their office. As she

observe the people that surrounds her, she can say that they are indeed professional

because when they have time to talk, they are so close that they make fun of each

other but as soon as they emerge in their work, they start talking to each other in a

formal way as if they are just formally meeting with them.

Day 03 (22 January 2020)

The author started her day by opening the computer that her assigned office

used to serve their clients. Around 9:00 AM her work start when someone came to

their office to have a photocopy of some documents using the Xerox machine that

their office offers to their clients, after that her another superior in the office, Mr.

Voltaire Tanjuangco teach her how to operate Xerox machine so she can help him to

operate it when he was not around. It was around 10:00 AM when Mr. Edmund P.

Purification asked her to go to health center to deliver documents about t-shirts that

she asked him to write down his name, signature, office where he was assigned and

how many copies he requested. After a long period of photocopying documents,
