INTRODUCTION
Every educational establishment, whether public or private, follows a particular
procedure to guarantee that its learners are informed and ready for the actual world. On
the Job Training (OJT), Internship, and Practicum have been substituted with the term
Supervised Industry Learning (SIL) to express this. Our dear students were able to
participate in a realistic workplace simulation during this session, which helped them
comprehend the differences between training received in and outside of the classroom.
Through this, individuals are fed and nurtured with a variety of standards and
procedures that help them develop their skills in accordance with the professions they
have chosen. They can network with others and consider potential occupations after
graduation thanks to this as well.
Since SIL is one of the essential requirements for us to continue in either second
year college or third year college, it is part of our curriculum as students. We receive
240 hours of this instruction as Diploma in Fisheries Technology (DFT) students,
including myself. Mrs. Victoria Sumayod, our assistant professor and industry
coordinator, gave presentations on the "Legal Basis in Conducting SIL," "What is SIL,"
"The Parts and Components of SIL," and "The Mechanics in Implementing SIL" at the
orientation. She then discussed the prerequisites for SIL, including attendance at
orientation and registration for SIL, as well as the requirements for SIL itself, including
the DTR, weekly DTR submission by the leaders, logbook, and narrative report that
includes gathering of data.
The SIL Enrollment and Submission of SIL Documentary Requirements

We have to start from the beginning before accomplishing our goals because
everything has a process. Then we gradually gather all we require. This exact process
also applies to registration and submission, where there is a deadline and you need to
have a lot of patience and time management skills, though being on time is also crucial.
On June 20, 2022, early in the morning, my team made the decision to sign up
for SIL. We went to Mrs. Sumayod's office to fill out the Trainee's Biodata Form and
submit the required materials, but since we didn't have enough of the required number
of images, we were only able to complete it that day. After we submitted our biodata,
Mrs. Sumayod gave us a waiver that was to be signed by our parents in order for us to
undergo SIL. The following day, we all met the requirements, and we were then told to
enroll in order to prove that we had finished the enrollment process completely. Due to
the hectic month of July, we first complete our final examinations, foundation week,
projects, and innovations before moving on to enroll at the registrar's office. Then, on
July 13th, we made the decision to enroll. Fortunately, we were successful at 4 o'clock.

III. Job Induction Program

On June 30, 2023, the day of the Job Induction Orientation, it was a cloudy
afternoon. With our Industry Coordinator at the H-building, everything takes place.
 During the orientation, Mrs. Sumayod and the other speaker discussed the dos
and don'ts, house rules, and qualities that a SIL Candidate should possess. She also
recalls the important guidelines that must be fulfilled for us to qualify for the course.
Despite the fact that it is a dreary day, the orientation went well. Despite the
difficulties we had that day, it is clear that our Industry Coordinator and school staff put
forth a valiant effort because everyone was willing to listen and brave enough to
complete the orientation.

IV. The Company Orientation

Due to a number of factors, the corporate orientation and the initial meeting with the
management of Kharis Farm Products Manufacturing were postponed. On July 19,
2023, it was a rainy morning. The encounter was pleasantly positive, and we were
fortunate to be at their place of residence.

DURING SIL
Week 1
The day of SIL has arrived. It was a mixed sensation of nervousness and
excitement since I am inquisitive about what it is like within a new atmosphere.

The first week is uneventful; I am assigned to the Kharis Processing area. My

first week consists of washing the mango, soaking, re soaking, peeling, slicing,
disinfecting the mason jar, bottling, sweeping and wiping the floor, and sweeping and
arranging the tables and chairs. The assessment day for masonry NC II is on July 21,
thus some of my colleagues attend the assessment at NMSF and I was not included
because my schedule was on the next day. On that day Friday we sweep and clean the
processing area and at the afternoon the bible study happens.

Week 2
The Second week comes. The atmosphere is already lively the moment I start
my week.
The second week was the busiest because mangoes from Mrs. Mina Marie
Ladlad's plantation arrived to Kharis Farm Products in Ampayon. The following day, I
together with Rose Jean was assigned to sort and grade mangoes that needed to be
prepared before we began processing. I was tasked with preparing and sorting the
mangoes for three different products: dried mangoes, mango slices in syrup, and
mango juice. The mango juice and mango slices were processed in syrup on the third
day.
We processed the dried mango on the fourth day and monitored the drying of
mango in the dehydrator for 20 to 36 hours in the evening. We trimmed the dried
mangoes that were already dried on 5ft day, and every Friday there was a Bible Study.
Week3
 As the third week approached, the rotation took place, with some trainees
allocated to Butuan Coconut Products, Inc. including myself.
I was assigned the task of collecting coconuts with the team on the first day. On
the second day, I helped with the hatching and cleaning of the coconuts. The third day, I
washed and weighed the coconut that needed to be processed, and we then went to the
BCPI processing room where the Virgin Coconut Oil was made. On the same day,
August 2, our Assistant Prof.1/Industry Coordinator, Mrs. Victoria Sumayod, took us a
visit at Kharis Farm Products to assemble us for some monitoring and to discuss
difficulties and concerns concerning our SIL duty, and the fellowship/worship took place
that afternoon. The fellowship approached Pastor Sam and his colleagues on the same
day.
Week 4
The day has finally arrived for the DTI to pay a surprise visit to the Facility.
I cleaned the coconuts that were ready for processing Virgin Coconut Oil on
Monday, as is routine. The following day, I was tasked with collecting the Protein Oil that
was ready to be filtered. The fellowship also took place on that day. I was assigned to
trim the dried pineapple at the Kharis Processing Area on the fourth day. I labeled the
dried pineapple as well. Because of the scarcity of fruit inventories on the last day of our
SIL excursion, I was assigned to clean the Butuan Coconut Products, Inc. A successful
team is a group of many hands and one mind which mean unity is strength, knowledge
is power and attitude is everything.

I. Preparation and Submission of SIL Completion Documentary

Requirements
Now that we've completed our 240 hours, I with the section Milkfish initiated the
documentation needed to complete our SIL.

We next proceed to Mrs. Sumayod's office to complete the paperwork, which

includes three copies of the final DTR, an evaluation form, certificates, and the Trainers
Record Book (TRB). We then finished and signed the documentation that had been
asked earlier in the day. We next go to our supervisor to seek her feedback on our
performance and sign the relevant paperwork. Because we are always gracious, she
signs the documents right away.
